Daughters of ycrcrans.

About two months ago the first Tent
of Daughters of Veterans in Michigan
was organized at Cadillac. Its meetings
are to be held the second and last Tues
days of each month. The members of
the G. A. r., Sons of Veterans, w. r.
c. and Daughters of Veterans visiting
or passing thru Cad llac on these even
ings will be made welcome in the Su-
pervisor's room in Masonic Temple
where the Tent meetings are held. The
President of the Tent is Mrs. Genevieve
Gillespie and the other officers are: S.
V. p. Mrs. $. Bowlby; ]. V. p, Mrs. l..
Cashen; Chaplain, Mrs. Helen Thomp-
son; Treasurer. Mrs. C. C. Durham;
Tent Trustees, Mr.. c. C. Dunham and
Mr.. and Mrs. VIII Thompson. After
the election the President appointed
Miss N. a. Schoonover Secretary, Mrs
Nettie Cotey Guard and Mrs. Lettie
Cudney Guide.
The Daughters of Cadillac have done
handsome thing in naming their Tent
after Mrs. Elizabeth Il. Custer, wife of
the brave cavalry leader and General,
who gave up his life in the Indian mas
sacre of Little Big Horn. The charter
members of the Tent say that Mrs. Gus
ter proved her worth as a soldiers wife,
as she ably ass 'sted and comforted her
gallant husband while he led the de-
tense III several commands on the West
ern frontier. Eligibility for entrance
into the Tent is obtained from the war
records of fathers who served in the
rebellion, either army or navy. These
Cadillac daughters are united for the
purpose of keeping fresh the memory
of the gallant boys who wore the blue
and instilling into minds of the rising
generation the principles of loyalty and
patriotism.
This organization of a new Tent of
Daughters Of Veterans is a step in the
right direction. If the fame and the
glory of the fathers is to be kept before
the American people it must be done
thru the patriotic sons and daughters
The mothers. wives and sisters of those
who are rapidly passing over to the
Great Camping Ground. There cannot
be too many patriotic women united in
their splendid work, but they should be
united or the principles of the organiza-
ton must suffer. There is one sugges-
ton that have to make, however, and
that IS that the title should be changed
TO Daughters of American Veterans"
There are Daughters" of all sorts of
things In this day and age, and one OF
the encroaching organizations is the
Daughters of the Confederacy. Surely
these Gear daughters of the North viii
add the word American" to their title.

The Women of ,e1 TO ,s5.

Mrs. Eliza J. Shepherd. National Cor
responding Secretary of the Ladies of
the G.. A. r., writes interestingly of
what was known in the early days of
the war of the rebellion as war wild
ows." That term had reference to those
women whose husbands had shouldered
their musliets and gone in defense of
the Constitution and the Flag. Mrs.
Shepherd says that she is moved to
write to The National Tribune because
of an item which appeared in the pa
pers, headed 1.-The Women of 81 to
'65." She says that there are several
of these women living yet. Mrs. Shep-
herd says: I'VE can all truly say that
it was with fear and trembling that
we lived thru the anxious trials and
cares of those three years. 1t was my
lot to have my husband wounded the
second day of the battle of Gettysburg.
/ went to him and took care of him for
seven weeks, then brought him home
on stretcher, and for seven weeks
more, day and night, cared for him
as one would for a baby. 1 nursed him
back to life. We are both living, and
for what? To give relief to others.

claims to be totally blind. He is about

years old. He claimed to be drawing q

son-in-law had taken away his certifi
Gates and vouchers, and that the ball

How to Get Rid
of Catarrh
A Simple, Safe, Reliable Way,
and it Costs Nothing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh know
its miseries. There is no need of this
suffering. You can get rid of it by a
simple, safe, inexpensive, home treat
ment discovered by DIR. Blosser, who.
for over thirty-five years, has been treat
ing catarrh successfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not a spray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, but is a more direct and
thorough treatment than any of these
1t cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again breathe
freely and sleep without that stopped
up feeling that all catarrh sufferers
have. 1t heals the diseased mucous
membranes and arrests the foul dis
charge, so that you will not be con-
stantly blowing your nose and splitting,
and at the same time it does not poison
the system and ruin the stomach, as in
ternal medicines do.
II you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DR..
J. w. Blosser, 500 Walton street, Attain
ia. Ga. and he will send you by return
mail enough Of the medicine to satisfy
you that 1t Is all he claims for II as a
remedy for catarrh, catarrhal head
aches, catarrhal deafness, asthma, bron-
chitis, colds and all catarrhal complica-
tions. He will also send you free an
illustrated booklet. Write him imme-
diatey.

Colonel of the 47th ILL.,, Col. j. D. Nc
Clure, assisted by Mrs. Emma p. Won
der. Mrs. Helen NJ. Wilson, Mrs. Helen
F. King and Mrs. Emma NJ. Sloan, did
a splendid work in ra;sing the money
for this monument, which cost $500
The money was almost entirely sub
scribed by members of the regiments
at one time or another in camp in Peo-
ria during the war.
Every person upon the program on
the dedication day were either those
who took personal part in the war or
their children or children's children.
The unvailing of the marker was done
by Mrs. Emma P. Wonder, Mrs. Emma
NJ. Sloan, Frederick Mcclure Blossom
and Edith Tripp Mowat. Gen. Thomas
Henderson was the orator of the day.
Gen. Henderson is now well past so,
and after the war served for more than
20 years in Congress from that district,
and is now one of the beloved COM
manderS who still survive. He is now
a member of the Board of National Vol
