IN THE sPANIsH-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
obliged to drink.
Mr.. Geo. A. Lake of Dennison, Texas, gives
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 large bottle of
Sloan's Liniment. | used it in our troop at
Camp Mobrey for cramps and dysentery among
the men, 1t took finely and lots of the boys of
Troop L., LIST Tex. Cav. U. S. ", will never for
get the name of Sloans Liniment One case
IN particular was our bugler Fred Ormsley;
he was cramped until he could hardly stand it.
gave him dose of Sloan's Liniment and in
five minutes he was up and ready to go on with
the troop"
Every druggist carries Sloan's Lniment in
stock. You can get it in 25c., Soc or ST. 90 sized
bottles. It's good thing to have in the house
for rheumatism, toothache, sorethroat, asthma
and any pain or stiffness.

done pretty well after all and he thought his
choice was good.
w. D. Thompson: "By what standard do
you measure success? A boarded up bank &C
count is no criterion of success. A good many
could lay up more if they didn't spend so much
for the comfort of their families and the edu-
cation of their children. In my mind these
things mean success, much more than the
boarded capital in the banks of our country"
A. Stinson said: "a man with energy, pluck
and that other necessary quality of stick to it
lveness can buy farm and pay for it here in
Winterport, one of the best farming towns in
the county of Waldo, or in any of the outlying
towns. He may have to deny himself and
family of some luxuries but he will succeed in
the end if he goes to work in the right way"
The disputants made their closing arguments
and the grange then by vote decided the ques-
ton in the affirmative. The program of the
day was then taken up and it proved to be ex-
cellent in every way. 1t was as follows: reci-
tatlon, ALIVE Colson; recitation in costume,

pltality, the minutes ere read the grange
