PLAN FOR VETERAN

II seldom happens that Congress is
urged 10 do something TO help a man
without his asking for IL and without
hts knowledge, but this is what IS hap
pening IN the case Of Maj. Gen. Oliver
o. Howard.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Representative Foster OF
Vermont, and IN the Senate by Senator
Proctor OF Vermont. 10 advance General
Howard 70 the grade of lieutenant gen
eral on the retired list. General How
ard. one OF the leading general Officers
Of the civil war and now one OF It's few
surviving officers that held general
rank. formerly lived In Maine, but is
now resident OF Burlington. VI. He
did hot know that it was the purpose
Of his friends 10 try 10 get him ad-
vanced 70 the grade OF lieutenant gen
eral when the bill vas introduced, and
IL was done because. Of the anxiety OF
his friends that the Government give
proper recognition 10 MIN for his re-
markable services from 1851 70 1850.
Senator Proctor Is thoroughly in ear
nest for the proposed legislation and he
intends 20 do all IN his power 20 get It
enacted.
General Towards record is q striking
one and Is inseparably connected with
much OF the hardest fighting and most
important campaigning Of the civil war.
He was brought up on a farm. educated
AZ BOwdoin and West Point, and fought
through the civil war from Bull Run 10

at Fair Oaks soon returned 10 service,

Charlottesville, then the Fourth Corps
and was commander Of the right wing
Of Sherman's army from Atlanta TO the

Congress for selecting the ground on

the organizer and chief OF the Freed

lad a great part, too, in founding rs
colleges and other institutions for MT
ting teachers and 13l public schools,
among them the Hampton Institute,
which was the parent OF Tuskegee,
Fisk University and Howard University.
President Grant sent him afteC all these
services on peace mlss1Cn TO the
Apaches, and he later commanded the
Departments of the Columbia. the Platte
and the East, and was commandant OF
the Military Academy. This is but the
merest outline Of his career, which has
been singularly filled win responsi bill
ties and achievements. Nowadays he is
widely in demand among his comrades
Of the civil war as a lecturer and speak
er. and is interested in many moral and
religious movements. His friends in
Congress are hopeful that the legisla-
ton they desire in his behalf will be
enacted this session.

Most Common Physical Defect.

OF the many physical defects to
which human flesh is heir. the most
common and the most injurious In its
results is the displacement downward
of the upper part of the body. Such
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS we call 1t in
medicine-is shown by the flattened
chest. the depressed and protruding
abdomen, the prominent outstanding
collar bones, and the faring shoulder
blades.
AS an indication OF the remarkable
prevalence OF this deformity. may
mention that, as the result OF an ex.
tensive series Of examinations cover
ing several thousand subjects, found
less than one per cent. of bodies that
were not collapsed and depressed. In
other words more than 80 out of every
hundred people have crooked spines,
lowered chests and displaced struc-
tures.-Dr. w. r. G. Latson. In Outing
