Corporal Literally obeyed Orders O
Post Commandant.

Gen. Clarence Edwards, chief of the
insular bureau of the war department
tells how an Irish corporal got even
with an unpopular post commander
in Cuba. This post commander
though an excellent soldier, was some
thing of a crank. He had two hob.
bies. One was that the liberal use OF
whitewash was the best possible pre-
ventive of disease, and the other was
a pet fianingo, an ill-natured bird that
was disliked heartily by the enlisted
men because it never overlooked an
opportunity to nip one of them.
One day the post commander had to
go to Havana, but he could not en-
dure the thought that anyone Should
be idle in his absence Ii had been
fully a week since any whitewashins
had been done, so he issued an order
that "all articles pertaining to the
camp not sheltered from the weather
should be whitewashed. The Irish
corporal was intrusted with the eXecu
ton of the order
The post commander returned next
day, and pretty soon the air was fair
~ blue with his cursing. The sol
diers heard the noise, but they We're
not curious. They knew what it was
all about. The post commander

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians on our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
Of the world remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and ef1ica-
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Mutf, of SIS NC. St.,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
