Grams in Virginia; and later accompa-

provision led him to go and to stick

conflict. He arose from a sick bed on
the eve of Shiloh and was the only
correspondent who was actually pres

triumphant finish. His agate letters
from the field filled columns of the Ca

by Chicago and st. Louis papers and
attracted national attention.
Chosen as Tribune Editor.
Reid in 1868 established himself at
Cincinnati as one of the proprietors,
editor-in-chief and principal leader
writer of the Gazette. The impeach-
ment of President Johnson attracted
him to Washington, however, to report
personally that extraordinary trial for
his paper and where what may be re-
sarded as the crisis of his career oc-.
Cured.
He was again brought into contact
with Greeley who again renewed his
invitation to Reid to enter the home
office of the Tribune and this time the
invitation was accepted. Then came
the political campaign of 1872. 1mme-
diately upon his nomination for Pres
ident Greeley resigned as editor of the
Tribune and Reid was chosen to fill
his place.
Upon the reorganization of the pa.
per after Greeley's death he came into
control of its policy.

at Berlin when it was rendered by
President Hayes in 1877, but in March,

X. S. a. c. TO HELP BUILD sILos.
Man to Direct Work Will Be Sent to
EIarIllaIsS-

Manhattan, Kan, March 22.-Many let
tiers have come to the Agricultural col
lege recently relative to building concrete
silos. 1t has been decided that one
more men will be detailed this spring to
give personal supervision in the erection
of limited number of the solid-wan
inforced and also the thin-waH, or metal
Iath, concrete structures. This man is
paid by the college, but his travelling and
living expenses incurred on the trips must
be paid by the persons benefited.
1t will be impossible to assist in the
erection of a large number of silos, but it
is hoped to distribute these to as great an
extent throughout the counties where ce-
ment silos have not been previously
erected Western counties will be fav-
ored as far as demands from that section
warrant, as heretofore the energies have
been devoted largely to the eastern sec
ton. Circuits are being arranged now.
Farmers likely to need help should write
the director of college extension. Cement
silos should be erected before hot wealth
er. thus avoiding the tendency to check.
When writing. do not fail to give the size
and type of silo intended To help as
many farmers as possible, this work must
begin early in April.

Maximum Energy and Power

need perfect health so that we can
work harder, play harder and

To develop this efficiency, and
enable us to keep ahead in the
swift current of modern life, we
must have healthy body. Perfect
health is impossible If the system
is not in perfect working order, or
If the blood is not as pure and
fresh as it should be. TO attain
this state of perfect health, Sui
