Everybody who is weak, delicate or
sickly wants to get we'll. DR.. Greene,
of 8 West 14th St., New York city,
makes speciality of treating patients
free through letter correspondence.
The wisest thing all suffering people
can do is to write DIR. Greene, stating
just how they feel, mentioning every
symptom of which they complain,
and he will answer the letter, ex-
planning each symptom and describ-
ing the case so thoroughly that
patients understand their complaint
as we'll as though they had talked
with the Doctor. He makes his ex-
plantations so clear that they cannot
help but understand just what ails
them, and he tells exactly what to
do to get we'll. 1t saves q journey to
the city and Doctors fees, and costs
,nothing. DIR. Greene is the most
successful specialist in curing nervous
and chronic diseases. He is the
discovere of that wonderful medicine,

The Hard Luck That Was Handed Out

through three wars-the Crimean, the
Indian mutiny and the Chinese-and

He has been known to walk forth

At all remonstrances he would sniff

and see rocks looming up, and you
would think the vessel was going to
run right into them, head on. We
didn't stop again until off the coast
of Valparaiso, when we were met by
the president of Ohili, who came out
to pay his respects to 'Old Gimpy'-
you know that is the sailor name for
Fighting Bob Evans. AtTrthe short
stay which we paid to this port saw
the prettiest sight ever beheld in
my life. Away up on the hills in
back of the city proper was lined up
the official guard in such formation
as to spell the word Welcome. We
followed the coast up to the port of
Callao, where we all received our
fourth leave Here. 1 guess, we
| were treated better than any other
port the feet has yet touched. In the
first place, Oallao is simply small
seaport for Lima. Peru. The officials
of the railroad granted us free trans
portation and anything else we
wanted. Nothing was too good. for
us there We were treated to a bull
fight in this town, something which
very few of us had ever seen before.
It was fine sight. l guess, but I
don't think it is half as interesting as
good game of baseball or one of the
good old navy prize fights. While
the boats were stopping at Callao the
only fatality of the entire trip oc-
Cured, that is from accidental causes.

instantly killed by crane block of

among the boys on shipboard and a

aged mother. After all bills had been
paid $500 was sent home. We left
Oallao amid shouts from shore, guns
belching forth regret at our departure
and blowing whistles. But every
man Jack of us was anxious for the
arrival in California when we got
word of the coming reception down at

The meeting on Sunday at the

Uses for a Husband.

"My husband is such handy man
around the house." | recently heard a
wife remark with pride, says a writer
in the New Idea. She went on to tell
how he could dry dishes when the maid
was out, and even enjoyed getting a
meal. 1t seems to me to be a popular
fallacy among wives that useful man
about the house is the most desirable
husband. have noticed, however,
and my observation on tnis point, owing
to my interest in the subject, has been
wide that the men who do maid s
work are the ones who don't make
enough money to pay an extra maid
for it.

What Soil Study Will Do.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the De
partment Of Agriculture that he had
struggled for twenty years on an eighty
acre farm heavily mortgaged, but had
been unable to reduce his debt or rise
above poverty that made the bringing
up of his family humiliation. He
asked if there was any hope for him
upon the farm, or if he might as well
give up the fight. The department re-
quesred that he make detailed report
of his farm and its soils, and upon this
it based a plan of farming which he
was recommended to follow to the let
ter. There was profit the first year
of $4,000 and the department believes
that ultimately the despised eighty
acres can he made to yield $5, 900 a
year. - EX

OF Interest TO Democrats.

The National Democratic Congressio-
nal Campaign Committee has begun ac-
tive operations at it's headquarters at
Washington, d. G.. In addition to its
regular work, it is now preparing a
Campaign handbook which it hopes to
have ready for distribution by July i
two or three months earlier than here
UOfore.
The Committee is charged with the
duty of assisting, in every way possible
the election of Democratic Congress.
We wish the active cooperation of
every voter in the United States who
believes, with us, that the election of
Democratic Congress would greatly
benefit the country. We must rely up
on the people to sustain our work by
giving information as to local condi.
tions, and suggestions for our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid us by
making contribution. Will he not do
so and interest others in helping us, too?
We wish our Campaign hand book
distributed as generally as possible, and
we will furnish copy, as soon as pub
lished, to every one who contributes to
our Committee.

while in the drawer of the buffet an
other oiled cloth was smoldering. The
combustibles had not blszed as had
ben expected, but had simply pro-
duced a smoke, which was discovered
in time to avoid a conaagration.
Sunday night another: raid was
made on the place and second at
