DAINTY FOOD Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink. 2

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food, rather than drugs, and this Is the true method, for all physicians agree that only from food can the body be rebuilt.
 Many people fail to give their physicians credit, for after living on poorly select- ed or badly cooked food for long time. perhaps, and when their ailments become chronic, they expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly rebuild them.
 This is not possible. The only true method is to turn as quickly as can be to proper food. A Cincinnati O., young lady says: T was variously treated for my nerves, muscles. lungs, etc., but the treatment gave me no relief from my ails.
 Finally, my appetite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to faiting. I took all manner of toncs and stimulants but they were of no eff feet. had been brought to quit drinking coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee in It's place. and gradually began to get q little better.
 Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Grape-Nuts food. as they were both the children of one brain. I commenced on Grape-Nuts food for breakfast having Postum with 1t. I found the food 50 dainty, delicious and appetizing that I al ways looked forward to breakfast with pleasure.
 Shortly after commencing this diet, my wretched pain in the side was greatly, relieved, and now it has gone entirely; also the sinking spells; in fact. my pale cheeks have changed to pink hay gained back more than the twenty poun' I lost, and am thoroughly well in eve way" Read, f"The Road to Wellvi' in pkgs.

 valuable training in vocal music with the young women. It was her desire and in tention to continue this work throughout the session, but duties which took her from the city prevented.
 It was with regret that we gave up Miss Mckinney, not only for the loss of work in manual training. but for her personal influence which counted for so much with the students.
 I wish to speak of the work of the district nurse in some of the kinder garten districts. She has shown special interest in all cases reported by our teachers and by her faithful and efficient work has relieved a great deal of suffer- ing. In one case she not only cared for the mother who was ill, but washed and dressed the children for kindergarten.
 I canont close my report without thank ing the members of the board for the courtesies shown me and the confidence and itnerest which have been expressed in my work. Although my duties will be in a city far distant my heartfelt inter est will continue here and 1t shall be my pleasure to help the work in any way I can. Respectfully submitted

Carrie Ullman. We deeply regret losing Miss Ullman but rejoice in her promo ton.
 With only small revenue from our training class and regular subscribers, yet the large expense of the year has been well nigh met.
 Such generous service as has been rem dered by Mrs. Lowell, Miss Lena Jack son and Miss Elizabeth Duncan in giv- ing so lberally of their time and talents to the work of the kindergarten call for unstinted praise. We value and appre- ciate all they have done far more than we know how to express.
 4-s ii all the past years of our exist ence we are again greatly indebted to the press of the city-The Age-Herald. the Birmingham News and the Birming- ham Ledger for keeping our work before the public and to the social editors of these papers we owe special thanks. The faculty of the Allen school has been lib- eral in the offer of the use of recreation hall without charge; the City Delivery company with the exception of one ton of coal has furnished fuel for the three kindergartens of the associations; the torbes Piano company have again loaned piano. the Harris Transfer company has done all our hauling gratis; all firms dealing in kindergarten materials have given a liberal discount; the old Morris hotel and the Hillman have allowed the use of their parlors for any and all meet ings when the space was needed; to all ol these, to the various firms and individ- uals that have given us their generous support, enabling us to carry on this work for the little child in our midst, we return our heartfelt thanks.
 This board has proven it's faith in the Kindergarten work by its work and to each and every member of 1t l am in debted for the honor that you have paid me in allowing me to serve you. and in your ready response to every suggestion mace in the hope of forwarding one of the greatest works every devised to aid humanity.

that 1t was impossible to carry the city
by assault. A second attack was made
the following day and the whole line ad-
vanced, but was thrown back. Then all
realized that the city must be conquered
by siege, and both sides settled down to
1t In earnest.
While the Union Army lay in huge
semicircle IL miles long around the city
to the eastward the Navy, occupying the
river, was busy.
The Confederate line Of defense was
eight miles long and mounted about 130
guns in 81 batteries, while the works
and connecting curtains were loop-holed
for sharpshooters. The Union line of In
vestment was about II miles long, and
and at the beginning of the seige mount
ed about 1872 gums, which number was In
creased by naval ordnance until at the
close there were about 220 guns.
The seige was a desperate one. Every
day the Union lines bombarded from one
side, while the navy, In the river, bonn
barded from the other. The invaders
also sapped and mined under the Con-
federate works, and the defenders, during
the Al days that marked the seige, re-
mained constantly In the trenches without

II the soldiers in the trenches suffered,
even more so were the privations OF the
few citizens In the town. The citizens
referred to were the children and old
men-all others were soldiers. When
General Pemberon realized that to hold
out longer would be needless sacrifice
for relief was out of the question-he
sent a note to General Grant. The two
then held q conference on what Is now
known as Surrender Hill. The terms
were speedily made, and on July the
Union troops marched into the city un-
hindered, receiving the arms OF 20.491
officers and men.
The losses during the campaign were
about equal, those Of the Confederate

thrown from the lines of Union infantry
and artillery.
Then there is the old Wheat Field and
the Bloody Angle, both spots where the
lines fought almost hand-to-hand and
each carefully marked with tablets. mon
uments, etc. DEVILS Den, too, is well
preserved, and here and there amid the
boulders are markers that tell their
silent story.
An interesting part of the field which
is not often visited because of It's dis
tance from the town, is the cavalry
field, where mounted troopers fought
their share Of the conflict. This area
is well marked with tablets and monu-
ments, so that the history of the place
is retained.
The itinerary of the troops to the field
is also, to great extent. marked by
tablets particularly the lines over which
the Confederates approached, and along
the roads leading from the Potomac one
may practically follow the army route.
The story of the three-day battle has
been told and retold so often that al
most every schooboy is familiar with it,
but to the student the Gettysburg Ma
tional Park will ever be one of the most
interesting places in the country to visit,
and those who have had charge of con-
verting the battlefield into public park
have done their work well.
Included In the park, and a part Of
the original battlefield, is the National
Cemetery, where thouasnds of those who
died on the field are sleeping. In one
corner of the cemetery there is vast
number of small headstones; upon each
is carved but one word-"Unknown." The
men who sleep beneath those stones are
the heroes of the battle. They are the
ones who lost their all their lives and
their names-and no one can look along
the many rows of little stones without
moralizing upon the awful conflict that
separated households and pitted brother
against brother.
Chattanooga and Chtcl<amauEa.
In the Southland, where every road
echoed the tread Of armed hosts Of both
sides, and where clashes were of almost
daily occurrence, the government has
purchased and set aside as a public park
a portion of the country in the vicinity
of Chattanooga and Chickamauga, where
the Army of the Cumberland and the
Army of Tennessee fought.
The theater of movements and the
battlefelds In that vicinity may be seen
from Lookout Mountain and Is better
known as the Chattanooga Campaign.
The main operations upon the territory
of 176 square miles included the battles
of Chickamauga ana Chattanooga, each
of three days, and the minor affairs OF
Wauhatchie and Browns Ferry.
In many respects the Chattanooga cam
paign was one of vast Importance. There
we're so many natural obstacles In the
path of the Union army that what 1t
accomplished was little short of mar
velous
In view of the extent of the campaign
the government has set aside a portion
OF the area as n public park, and 1t was
formally dedicated in 1895.

than otherwise.
1t must not be forgotten that the Union
Navy, under Admiral Porter, played
most important part In the siege. In
fact, it is stated by historians that had
1t not been for the Navy the campaign
could not have been carried out along
the lines 1t was. The Navy carried the
troops past the Vicksburg batteries, from
Millikens Bend to Port Gibson, below
the city, where the first battle of the
campaign was fought.
The Confederates were repulsed and re-
treated, while the Union troops pushed
on northward to Raymond, almost due
east of Vicksburg. In that vicinity
number of engagements were fought with
General Pemberton's troops, but the lat
ter were gradually forced back until they
reached Champions Hill, where they made
firm stand and fought the tercest bat
tie of the campaign. Again the Confed-
crates were driven back; but, determined
to make the enemy pay dearly for their
ground, another stand was made on
the east bank Of the Big Black River.
This stand was Of short duration. The
victorious army encouraged by what IL
had accomplished. rushed forward, and
the Confederates retreated across tine
river, destroying the bridges as they
crossed.
On May 1S the Union Army crossed the
river and marched directly upon the city
of Vicksburg, then but few miles dis
tant. On arriving In front OF the line OF
defense of the, city General Grant thought
the city could be carried by assault The
troops advanced at 2 o'clock in the after
noon of the 10th, and while the general
line only made reconnaissance In force,
Blair's division of the Fifteenth Corps
assaulted the stockade redan, on the
Graveyard road, bur was repulsed with
considerable loss.
That was really the first serious setback
the Union Army had received, but neither
General Grant, his officers or men felt
