the 5sth Ill. He is now ~ years old.
and thinks that his service took off 10
years of his life. He sacrificed much to
serve his country. He left two S0-acre
farms, and sold his corn for y cents a
bushei, and left two little children with
out n mother, she having died three
years before the war. He was $500 in
debt when he came home from the
army for the keeping of his children
and was himself a physical wreck. He
applied for pension in 1879, and after
six years was allowed 80, which was
raised to 81, then to s6. then TO IS, then
to s12, then to S17. and finally, in 1906,
he got $50 per month.
Widows Pensions.
T. L. Lowden, PittsfieId, Mass, says
that he is no longer able to work, but
can read and think, and when he reads
about the sufferings of his good old
comrades his heart goes out to them in
sympathy. He has many times in his
life been called "woman's man." and
the Almighty knows in what way he is
q woman's friend, and when he reads
about the injustice of cutting Off these
widows pensions it makes his heart
ache. They need the pension certainly,
and IL Is not right that our Government
should deny pension to any woman
who can honOrably bear the name of
widow of veteran. no matter whether
she is his first or his fourth wife.

disease at all; in fact, thousands of
people suffer with skin disease and ara

germs because they do not pene
trate the skin. The only way to reach
the germs is by means of penetrating

instantly and the cures all appear to be
permanent. 1t might be advisable to
