Nervous Indigestion. due to the mod

This statement by the Tanlac health
expert has created much comment

II have never seen a time when
there seemed to be so many cases OF
nervous Indigestion among men and
women in all walks of life.
Here Are symptoms.
"The symptoms are extreme irrIta

victim eats disagrees with him. There
the pains in the abdomen and palpita

II attribute the prevalence of tais
trouble to the fast pace at which both

One of the most loyal and true men
from Virginia was Robert Edward Lee.
His birth was on January ~, 1907, ut
Stratford in Westmoreland County,
Va His father t"Light Horse llarry'D
died when Robert was but a hoy, and
therefore his training was left TO his
mother. She was a good woman. and
trained her son TO he a devout Chris
tan.
When eighteen years Of age Lee be-
came cadet at West Point He was
second in a class OF forty-six. and be-
came a second lieutenant. He did not
receive n demcrit during the whole
four years at school.
In 1881 he married Mary GUSTS.
When Mr.. Custis died he left his dauEh-
ter the magnificent estate, Arlington.
Lee fought In the Mexican War. and
proved himself to be great general.
When Virginia seeded from the
Union, some Of her bravcst sons We're
members OF the Union army. But. true
and loyal To their mother state. they
resigned. ana went to fight for tho
South. one Of the first 10 resign was
Robert L. Lee.
Lee had fought with the Union army
for thirty-two years, and 1t was n
struggle for him to leave, but he was
always known to do his duty.
lie was made general Of the entire
Confederate army. and there could have
been no better.
Lee was 4 good friend OF Jackson's.
and the death Of the general brought
n sorrow on Lee.
In one battle 1877 Union soldiers
were killed in ten minutes
But though the South struggled
hard. they We're forced by starvation to
give up 10 the Yankees.
When Lee and Grant met Mt Appo-
mattox, there was great contrast be-
tween them Leo was fiftythrce years,
while Grant was only forty-three. Tn
I'll the last moment the Southern gem
cral had fought. hut his soldiers were
starved. When Grant learned that tho
southern soldiers had had nothing hut
parchcd corn. he gave them food. He
would not receive the Southern arms.
Lee always said that the Northern
general was very kind to him.
When he drove from the courthouse
and told his soldiers of the surrender
with tears In his eyes, many OF them
wcpt like n child to realize that. the
beautiful South was in ruins. Lee died
In the wear 1870. He was one of the
best generals the United states ever
had.
