''Here's a dollar to buy something
good to put in that box for the lone
ly boys at Camp Funston" said Mrs
Candas Carter better known as
Grandma Carter, to this reporter the
other day, as she dropped into our
kitchen for a morning call. Sh-. sat
down and gave US the following little
history that seems interesting enough
to pass on. "I Know something about
what war means-and know it's the
boys who go to war and never get
any letters or anything from home or
friends, are the ones that are so glad
to be remembered If it's only once.
Ny father fought in the Battle of
New Orleans, and when the war was
over, he started home afoot TO Ken
lucky; but because of a shoulder
I wound, he had to live six months in
Cherokee Indian camp before he
could be strong enough to continue
his journey. l had a brother who,
| with five sons, fought in the battle
of Pittsburg Landing. Ny second
brother was in the regiment of caval-
rymen that spiked the cannons OF
the enemy at the battle of Nashville,
and after doing his part, his horse
whirled and threw him, and before he
could rise the cavalry horses tram
pied him to death Ny young
est brother stood guard over General
Grant one night while he slept, and
was only fifteen years old when the
war was over and he marched with
Sherman to the sea. My husband
served also, and was at StC.ne River
when the news came of Lincoln's as
sassination. I had six children when
my husband went to the war, and the
oldest boy was not yet able to harness
team-oh, knew something about
| hardship. I had to raise the crops of
corn, potatoes and tobacco, but we
| had plenty when he come home. Then
I bore two more children and adopt
ed four more-so in all I raised
twelve children. I am eighty-five
years old now, and have good health.
have sixty great grandchildren and
two great great grandchildren l
used to go to church when the ser
mons were preached by the first
Methodist preacher that ever was in
| the state of Indiana. His name was
Jesse Alexander, Well. guess I'll
| be getting back home now"
| And as she went down the steps
from the porch, the thought came to
| US that here in our town is a woman
whose life has been touched by the
wars of 1912, 1861, 1898 and 1917
| whose heart goes out to our boys IN
| the camps at Funston because she
knows something of what being a sol
/ dier really means.

inches long. Measure without
stretching.
For the past two weeks Hays Chap
ter has called for the addresses of the
boys from Hays and vicinity. As
there has been no response and in
view of the difficulty and uncertainty
of reaching the boys the executive
committee voted to send the Christ

butte them.
The knitted articles made by the
different Chapters are being kept in
this country and distributed to the
boys in our own camps
French candles are not being
shipped abroad but are being used IN
this country and to a very limited ex-
tent These candles are made of
tightly rolled newspapers and dipped
in parafin.

MUSCULAR RHEUMATISM

Muscular rheumatism Is most COM
mon in persons who are accustomed
to work hard and have a considerable
muscular development. 1t is charac-
terlzed by severe pain and contrac-
ton OF muscles causing difficult and
sluggish motion of the part effected
LumbagO IS one of the most com
mon forms; this is when the deep
muscles of the lower part of the back
are involved. There is stiffness Of the
back a dull, heavy ache, or sharp
catching pain which may become so
severe that the patient is unable to
rise or turn over in bed.
The muscles OF the neck and shoul-
ders are frequently attacked. The
victim may not be able TO turn the
head to either side. The shoulders,
one or both, are so stiff and sore that
the hand and arm are raised with dif-
hculty and PAIN The ihtercostal
muscle between the ribs may be in
volved to such an extent that breath
ing is accompanied at times with dull
stabbing, or sharp darting pain,
which when located on the left side,
frlghtens the patient because Of the
fear that the pain is In the heart In
some cases headache accompanies the
| stiffness OF the neck but great many
\ cases have only a dull uncomfortable
feeling in the head.
After one attack of muscular rheu-
matlsm there Is more susceptibility to
another The attack may last only
few hours or days after oYerwork
or exposure, 1t may last months OF
years, being worse in chilly, damn
weather Others seem better at the
time, while still others are apparently
not effected by weather.
Many OF the more severe cases
make one or more annual trips to
different climate or to some
springs" This gives temporary re-
lief to a certain per cent, but many
receive no benefit at all. None Of
| them receive a permanent cure and
some are worse when they return.
This disease IS successfully treated
by Osteopathy. The sevre pain and
muscular contraction is caused by II
ritation to both motor and sensory
nerves as they leave the spine. The
YaSo-mOtOr nerves controlling the
| blood to the effected muscle tissue
are also influenced at their commun-
icatiOn with spinal nerves.
Osteopathic treatment commonly
gives relief from pain IN q few days
even IN the most stubborn cases. This
does not mean that the condition Is
cured Usually several weeks or
months treatment are required to
normalize the tissues and permanent-
ly cure the disease.
The length Of time depends, Of
| course, on the conditions found.
Intense contractions and tender
ness of the tissues along the spine
are present IN this disease When this
conditions Of the spinal tissues Is
corrected, the muscle tissue normal
| lied by Osteopathic treatment, the
blood will circulate freely and carly
away the toxins within the muscular
tissue A feeling Of rest viii replace
| the feeling of exhaustion, and the ul-
| innate recovery viii be permanent

er, J. M. Craig of Kansas
F. M. Craig of Hastings, and his
brother. James NJ. Craig of Hays,
Kansas, are enjoying visit here af-
ter a separation of fOrty-twO years.
Both men are veterans of the Civil
War. They last saw each other
when F. NJ. Craig left the old home
in Londenville, Ohio, to come to Bar
ry County. The brothers were con-
stantly in correspondence, but in the
course of time they failed to see each
other until James NJ. Craig arrived in
Hastings, Friday.
Both men have unusual war rec
ords. J. M. Craig enlisted in the 23rd
Ohio Infantry, in which the late
President William M. Mckinley was a
major. During the service he was
wounded seven times. Two of the
wounds were received in the bloody
battle of Antritim, where bullets
passed through his left arm and left
hip.
F. M. Craig enlisted in 1854 at the
age of fourteen years and served un-
til the end of the war. He is probab-
ly the youngest soldier in the
county. His older brother was
pleased to find here one of his
brigade companions in the person of
Jason Powell. and he will be glad to
meet any other-TheHast Ban

Kansas Conference Standing

Wichita, Kansas, NOV. O--W aSn-
burn and Bethany shook the Kansas
conference dope in the football
games OF last week making surpris-
ing showings.
The Lindsborg Swedes battled the
supposedly powerful Hays Normal
team to a standstiIl throughout the
game on the Bethany gridiron Fri
day. At no time did either side push
the ball nearer than twelve yards to
the goal line. After a fumbled punt
by Bethany in the final period, Hays
recovered the pig-skin on the 15-yard
line. A play or two put the ball in
good position on the 12-yard line and
Westbrook drop-kicked his team to
victory.-K. G. Times.

aided by Argentina. The dispatch of
August indicates that although the
chance Of having Argentina take a
hand was rapidly failing. the ''reor-
ganization' or revolution might be
carried out anyhow. But Argentina
might still be coerced into playing
the German game by fleet of sub
marines making a proper demonstra-
Luxburg.
The comment on the wheat pros
pect doubtless was warning Of how
the South American nation might aid
the Entente.
1t is thought here that there may
be some additional message which
makes the German designs against
South Brazil still more clear, but the
message of August is considered
ample to have aroused the ire of the
Brazilian Foreign Minister, and little
wonder is felt here that the Argen-
tine newspapers demanded, following
the Brazilian Minister'S statement
that either Argentina make the Lux
burg dispatches regarding the situa-
ton public or else authorize foreign
government to do so.
The dispatches made public yester-
day are from the number sent to the
Argentine and Brazilian governments
by the State Department and not from
those sent to Washington by the Ar.
gentine Republic to be decided. There
has been some surprise in Admins.
tration circles that the dispatches
have not been made public in South
America.
