Gen. BELL is DEAD
Commander of Department of
East in o. S. Army.
An Indian Fighter and Hero of
Spanish American War.

New York, Jan. 9.-Maj. Gen. =.
Franklin Bell. commander of the De-
;partment of the East, died Wednesday
might at the Presbyterian hospital in
this city.
His death was due to>heart disease
He was taken to the hospital three
days ago for observation, but it was
not realized that his condition wds Sc
rious and his death came as COM
plete surprise. General Bell was 6S
iyears old.
General Bell was a West Pointer of
4the class of 1873 and during his forty
years IN the army had many difficult
assignments AS a lieutenant, he par
eticipateG in some of the hardest fight
ling in the Indian campaign. He was
a first lieutenant in the Seventh cav
airy when part of that famous regf-
ment fought the battle Of Wounded
Knee, in December, 1890.
At the beginning of the Spanish
{ war, Bell was promoted to the rank
of ma jor. He sailed from San Fran
cisco for Manila, on June Is, 1898, and
took a prominent part in the Philip
pine campaign. One of his exploits
was to swim out into the harbor and
around the Spanish Notifications to
get information which could pot be
obtained in any other way.
Subsequently. as the colonel in COM
mand of the Thirty-sixtt United
States volunteers, General Bell partici-
pated in the Luzon campaign and was
: awarded the congressional medal of
honor for gallantry in the operations
. against the Filipinos. The exploit
which won the honor was a charge in
which he led his men against the
enemy works. For his services in the
Philippines he was promoted to briga-
der general of volunteers. At that
time he was the youngest general in
the army.

How a Father Has Learned to
Save Shoe Bills.

MY son is very hard on shoes, so
keeping him properly. shod has been
quite an expense to me-" writes Mr.. !.
Allison Allen, of Arnity, Arkansas.
But since started to buy Neolin-
soled shoes for him have found that
it costs only about third as much to
keep him in shoes"
This is because Ne6lin Soles are so
tough and durable that they wear a
very long time. Shoe bills are kept
down because you don't need so many
pairs.
You can get Neolin-soled shoes at
almost any good shoe store. They
come in all styles and for all members
of the family Neolin Soles are also
available everywhere for residing.
They are produced by a scientific pro
cess to be what soles ought to be: com
Portable, waterproof and long-wearing.
They are made by The Goodyear Tire
&. Rubber Company, Akron, Ohio, who
also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed
to outwear any other heels
