AMERICAN WAR.

During the Spanish American War,
many of our soldiers suffered severely
from cramp in the stomach and bowels,
due in most cases to the change of
climate and the water they were obIG-
ed to drink.
Mr.. Geo. a. Lake, of Dennison,
Texas, gives an interesting account of
how he came to the relief of some of
the men in his regiment:-"Just as
was starting for the war;" says Mr..
Lake, Mr.. Davis gave me a large
bottle of Sloan's Eminent. ! used it
in our troop at Camp MoMey for

and ready to go with the troop"

A very justlfable interest centers
around Mrs. Taft, the coming first
lady of the land, and II is gratifying
to read from time to time such appre-
ciative and complimentary comments
concerning her. Those who know her
are hearty In their praises of her char
acter and ability. IL personal testi-
mony were lacking her pictures would
denote without question a woman Of
strong character. but a genial and
kindly temper.
She is said to be unusually well
read, to speak French well, to be fond
OF music and to be an excellent host
ess. In this connection a comment
by Halle Erminie Rives is especially
interesting. 1t Is as follows
"William Taft and Helen Heron
must have started life even. She has
the same straightforwardness, the
same honesty. the contempt of tinsel
and sham and pretense. Her worst
enemy, If she could have one, would
call her genuine She has no affec-
tations, no surface veneer, no isms.'
She has always remained the sweet
heart of her husband, the playmate
and confidant of her children. In the
best sense she is woman of the
world. She knows the big business of
statecraft and the smaller dicta of So
ciety. BY reading and studying she
has kept apace with her husband till
possibly there Is no woman in Ameri-
can life who Is better qualified to dis
euss the real questions of the day.
Surely such tribute as this is
worthy of emulation by every Ameri-
can woman.
