FACE A sight WITH TETTER

Moberly, Monty trouble began
with small pimple on the left side OF
my face and it spread all over my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when l got warm. My face
was a sight. It looked very unpleas-
ant, and 1t felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; it just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
it was letter, and some said it was
that awful eczema, but rather think
it was tetter. I had been troubled
with it for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until

when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment it would cool my skin

was sweating; it would run down my
face just as though had washed it.
It itched and smarted and 1 suffered
in the day time most. I used the Cuti,
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
month and I was cured Of it." (Sign.

of grape and canister. 1t was like
shooting into a flock of chickens. The
Confederates spread for a moment
and then came back again to the
charge. They were piled five and six
high in front of the guns before they
were ordered back to their lines.
Evening came, and there was no
more fighting. and in the morning
when we expected to be attacked we
found that the enemy had left. So
we went down and took Van Buren
and Fort Smith. There was not much
trouble there. We came down from
the high ground into the city after
an engagement with some Texas rang
ers, and we found the place deserted
by the men. The secesh were on the
other side of the river with a battery
and they shot canister and grape
across the water and up the streets.
We put Union flag on the courthouse.
and they shelled it, but their aim was
not good, and the flag stayed. With
all their firing they did not hit one
man of US, but they did kill several
hogs and one woman"

AND WAR %
SHARP BATTLE IN ARKANSAS
Charge and countercharse at Prairie
Grove Is Graphically Related by
Veteran of Chicago.

Western fighting was not so dra-
matically set forth at the time OF the
war as were the campaigns OF the
east, but its picturesqueness Is un-
questionable. It has a special claim
on Chicago's interest because many
Of the men who fought in the army OF
the frontier are now living in Chica-
go. One of these, George Rettig, who
lives at 2105 Leland avenue, tells OF
his experiences at Prairie Grove In
the Arkansas-Missouri campaign OF
1852. The story is as follows:
After the battle Of Rhea's Mills we
came down to the place known as
Prairie Grove. Here our position was
on high ground on the concave side Of
bend made by the valley Of little
stream. Beyond the creek and the
level land that bordered it was an
other rise Of ground, on which the
Confederates had their battery hidden
In the woods.
THE Third Wisconsin cavalry, my
regiment, was at the right, and the
Twentieth Wisconsin infantry was at
the center. This regiment started out
first. Down the hill they went. with
the fire of the rebel battery converged
on them, and across the level ground
and up the other hill they made their
way, climbing a fence to reach the
wooded ground. They reached the
guns and captain had planted flag
on the battery when the whole line OF
Confederate infantry, which had been
reserved for this purpose, rose up and
threw the Wisconsin men back down
the hill. More than 100 Of our men
were left hanging on the fence or dy
ing in the woods
Then the secesh came out in turn
They aimed for a point half way be
tween my regiment and the Twentieth
Wisconsin. Here Rapp's Indiana bat
terry was set up. The Confederates
tried to charge the battery, and every
time they were driven back by rair

Will Spare No Expense to Expose All
Connection Between Police De-

New York.--More far-reaching than
the Lexow investigation, and more
cleansing than the work of the COM
mit.ae of fifteen, an organization was
formed here to investigate, without re
gard to expense and with the aid Of
the best lawyers and detectives oo-
tainable, the alleged corrupt alliance
between the police department and the
underworld.
A call for the organization of great

lemonade for those who do not care
for the hot drink of coffee, cakes and
a salad with fresh fruit is a spread
good enough for the best.
A pretty way to serve stuffed eggs
Is to season them as desired, then on
zach half lay a slice of stuffed olive.
Sailed nuts and olives always add to
such a feast and should not be for
gotten.
With the thermos bottle icy lemon
ade may be served. II the Juice Of the
lemons is extracted and the sugar and
water boiled together, 1t will take but
a moment to prepare the drink.
One Of the most satisfactory cakes
for an outing are sponge cakes baked
in patty tins. Whipped cream that
has been sweetened and favored may
be carried in a mason jar and the
cakes may be cut open and filled with
the cream just before the meal.
Carry the salad all mixed (if potato
or salad not easily made mussy) In a
mason jar. 1t is easy to manage and
not so heavy as a bowl.
For those who wish to cook some
thing or make coffee, a sheet of sheet
iron or heavy piece Of wire screen
ing makes a useful stove placed on a
heap Of stones. 1t can be used as the
top of stove for the coffee pot, fry
ing pan and any other utensils needed.
Fried chicken is a meat easy to
carry and refused by few. If each
piece is carefully wrapped in paper 1t
seems daintier and Is more agreeable
to eat from the fingers.
If hard-cooked eggs are used, wrap
them also, fringing the ends of the pa
pers and twisting the ends. They
taste better if they are pleasing in ap'
pearance.
A bon fire will dispose of all the
refuse, plates, napkins, wooden or pa.
per dishes, so that the return basket
will lose much of its bulk.

HOT WEATHER FOOD.

During the warm months 1t Is wise
to substitute nuts, cheese, eggs and
milk for the more concentrated meat
dishes. Salads, fruits and vegetables
OF all kinds are both satisfying and
suitable for hot weather food.
Potato salads are great favorites,
and may be varied to give variety.
This is one that is nice enough for
company: Cut in cubes six medium.

cumber cut in cubes, one cup OF
shredded almonds, two tablespoonfuls
Of green and red pepper, a tablespoon
full of onion Juice; mix all together
and add the following dressing: The
yolks of seven eggs, gradually beat In
four tablespoonfuls of olive oil, then
add a half cup of melted butter, the
juice of lemon, three teaspoonfuls of
salt, half a cup of vinegar, table
spoonful of sugar and half teaspoon
full of mustard. Cook until smooth,
strain through a fine sieve and add
whipped cream to the dressing before
using. This will keep for weeks If
kept in a glass jar in the ice chest.
Potato SaIad.-Take ten small pota-
toes, boil until soft with the Jackets
on, cut in cubes, add three small Gu
cumbers and three stalks of celery,
also cut fine. Slice four hard-cooked
eggs II very thin slices and put the
ingredients in layers in a salad bowl,
with a sprinkling Of grated onion to
give the salad a flavor. Then pour

Swiss Chard.-This is a vegetable
not half well enough known. 1t Is easy
to prepare, quick to grow and is most
tasty, cooked and served as one does

SUMMER VEGETABLES.

The summer squash is one Of the
strictly summer vegetables and is
most tasty If well seasoned. Perhaps
the seasoning is the important feature
for a more fat insipid vegetable is
hard to find. A gentleman visiting in
a small place where summer squash
was abundant, expressed his liking for
that vegetable; he was so fond of it
lie remarked that he could never get
enough. The lady with whom he was
boarding said he should be fully salts
fed, as they had an abundance of the
squashes. The first meal when they
were simply boiled, drained and salted
and served with no other seasonings
convinced him that for once he had
had enough. He decided it was the
seasonings he liked instead of the
squash.
One must be lavish with butter in
seasoning this dish or 1t will be unpal-
atable.
Wash and cut in quarters and cook
in boiling salted water until tender.
Too long cooking spoils the flavor also.
Then drain carefully and chop season
ing with salt. pepper and plenty of
butter. Reheat and serve.
A pretty way to serve radishes,
though not new, is to cut them to imi-
tate tulips. Begin at the root end and
make six incisions through the skin,
running up three-fourths of the length
Of the radish. Pass knife under the
sections of skin and cut down as far
as the incisions extend. Place in cold
water and the skin wilr fold back, Civ.
ing the radish the fiowerlike appear
ance.

SELLS WARDROBE TO GRANT
One Of Startling Incidents Of tho
Siege Of Petersburg Is Re-
lated by Southern Woman.

That brave and sweet souled south
ern woman, the late Mrs. Roger A.
Pryor, used to relate many anecdotes
Of the straits to which she was
driven in war times to provide the
necessaries of life for her family,
says the Youths Companion. Prices,
in the deprecated Confederate cur.
rency often reached amazing figures.
In Petersburg she had to pay a neigh
Dor a dollar a day for the meager
dish of vegetables required for a
wounded officer in her household; she
paid $50 a pound for butter and ba-
con; SIS for beef. and $50 for one
chicken, or pair Of small shad, or
dinarily worth Is cents.
Governor Mann of Virginia, who
was also in Petersburg during the
siege, has recently said that he once
paid $240 for breakfast. Articles
other than food brought prices quite
as extraordinary. Once during the
height of the bombardment he came
upon a street corner auction at which
the furniture from partly ruined
house was being offered for sale.
Among the pieces displayed was an
olG-fashioned wardrobe, bids for
which had reached the sum of 1899.
The auctioneer. receiving no higher
bid for the wardrobe, cried. Mine
hundred and ninety-nine once! Mine
hundred and. .ninety-nine-twice!" and
was about to knock down the furni-
ture for that sum when suddenly a
Yankee shell crashed down on the
old wardrobe and smashed it to
Rmithereens.
"Gone!" yelled the auctionaer
Gone to General Grant for a thou
sand dollars."
