FEELING FINE
rfir TaHng Four Bottles Of
Cardui, The Vcmaa's Tonic.
Cobdcn, III. "Having us:ed Cardul,
the woman's tonic, in my family, for a
number of years." writes Mrs. Kate
f tv;
?uch -ood results, I feel it my duty to
write you about it, so that you may
publish my letter.
My mother is living with me, and
e is 52 years old. For the last three
' j cr four years, she has been troubled a
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at a time, she would have a
severe headache.
She read of how much Cardui has
helped other women wv.o were sick
! arid ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it throe times
a day, and since then has been getting
a.cr.g simply hne.
M' ther onlv used four bottle? of
Cardui. but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
ft crouch is so much stronger that she
can cat most anvthir.rr.
We both feci that any lady who is
not strong and well, would be greatly
bcr.cf.tcd by the use of Cardui.

Bays Will Return Home Great
ly Improved Both Physically
and Mentally Some May
Resign From Guard When
Dismissed.
T Is plainly the intention of the
war department to maintain the
Ht. drill nnd work regulations of the
national guardsmen, now en
camped on the Mexican frontier, until
the- men who are unable to stand the
physical strain are weeded cut and
their places filled by recruits. It is the
object of the Texas camps to transform
ti e militia into a body of soldiers rank
in ir with the repulars and to so turn
around the old time rules of conduct
j for the militia that tp3 entire ndlltla
l establishment of the country, as con
stituted before the call to arms last
month, will be thrown into the discard.
All this Is very well from the stand
point of the professional soldier. The
militiameu who went down to Texas In
response to an urgent call are not pro
fessional soldiers and have no idea of
devoting the rest of their lives to mili
tary work. It is a question whether
they can te imbued with the reprular
service idea, esiK"ciaJly as all danger of
war with Mexico has apparently
passed, according, to the news that
comes from Washington.
Without doubt the drills and camp
life are doing the men who can stand
the strain a world of good. They will
tro back home made over physically
and also helped mentally. They ought
to appreciate it, but they are stubborn
enough to imagine that the arduous

traininjr Pho'uld be imrosed on men
who want to fight for a living and not
on men who have jobs at homo.
Not nil the officers in the militia or
gnnizations are satisfied. Many say in
confidence- to tlieir friends that as soon
as they get out of the regular service
they are going to resign from the na
tional guard. It looks as though this
camp will impose on congress the task
of upsetting the whole militia program
and forming an entirely new policy of
national defense on land-
Bad Han Subdued.
Military policemen of the Seventy
first New York had their first en
counter with a would be western
"bad man." with discouraging results
to the bad man, who, having yet failed
to reclaim the six-gun the effete east
erners took from him, is believed to
lie slightly less bad than he was.
To make it won?, one of the New
Yorkers bears the mild name of Yas
sar. Yassar and Dooling were on
duty in the Mexican quarter of Mc
Allen when a ferociously armed and
caparisoned cowboy entered the larg- ;
est saloon and announced that he was
!ing to shoot up the place.
At this juncture the two soft spoken
Manhatfanltes entered- A few sec
onds later Dooling was In possession
of the Texan's artillery, and the Texan
was riding through the door on the toe
of Yassar's boot.
Horses For Pennsylvanians.
The distribution of mounts to tlie
troops of the Seventh division, nation
al guards of the United States from
Pennsylvania, has begun. Major Gen
eral George M. Clement, commander
of the division, with several aids and
a number of regular army officers,
made the first selection at the remount
station for use of division staff.
The division commander took a beau
tiful animal, sixteen and a half hands
high, a sleek bay, long of wind and
with muscles of steel and of sufficient
weight to bear hard service. Several
of the division staff oflicers tried out
their mounts recently, but a num
ber of others, including the command
er himself, are giving the horses a
chance to rest up.
The animals arrived in cars from the
east, the quartermaster's count total
ing approximately 2,000. It is said G3,-

Not only Pennsylvania militiamen, but

Southern Hospitality.
One letter from an Illinois man says:
"We stopped at Marshall, Tex., and
remained two hours. A freight ahead
had been wrecked. I met a very won
derful young lady who was chaperon
ing a bunch of southern and congenial
beauties. Never more criticise the
southern hospitality. In other places
the populace grafts off the soldier lads.
In Texas they offer native fruits, sim
ple gifts and much real courtesy. They
have autos a-plenty, and they took us
riding. The young lady chaperon per
mitted me to assist in chaperoning in a
motorcar. She spoke kindly to me.
She smiled and even laughed aloud at

my lame witticisms. And when she
spoke in the caressing tones and soft
enunciation of the southland well, I
could sit for hours under the spell. I,
tco, used to feel supercilious about this
southern stuff but that was before I
had found the real sooth. I now enroll
as a defender.
"So far 'tis the life. But none of us
has been paid, and we are all in a
mood to curse those who yanked ns
fcence and permitted us to travel
through the interesting state of Texas
practically moneyless when we have a
considerable wad already overdue. Fire
1 a fling at Washington and make them
come through ere we mutiny and curse
the politicians.'
Hen Learn to Shoot.
Rapid fire, advance and retreat, all
that goes with skirmish order and the
keeping in band of Massachusetts men
so as to bring about as nearly as pos
sible perfect fire control, has been prac
ticed and hammered in day after day
In fact, frequently twice daily at Camp
Pershing, El Paso.
At the same time all day there Is a
constant crack, crack on the rifle range,
where Lieutenant Stewart Wise, a
Massachusetts officer, who holds world
records and is now assigned to the
squadron as inspector of small arms
practice, has already had some remark
able results in teaching the newer men
to 6hoot and improving the marksman
ship of the older men.
The lieutenant estimates the range,
instructs those who don't know how to
set their sights, tosses up a handful of
dirt, watches exactly how it blows and
says when to set the wind gauge. Then
he follows results with his field glasses,
making needed corrections.

Letter From Beauty Squad.
Terhaps It was the moon, but any
way the beauty squad of Company K,
Second Illinois Infantry, has buret in
rerse in the f ollowtng1 letter:
Fort Sam Houston. San Antonio, Tex.
A little new which may interest you.
Private Peters of the eighth squad look
ed as though he needed a nath, bo the boyi
threw him Into the watering trough. Just
think, twenty-three of us may go for an
automobile ride, provided get 50 cents.
All the boys in camp are rather restless
waiting to seize fiome Mexicans along the
border. Private Strand has gained three
pounds since he came here.
Private Karea sits up all night writing
letters, and Private Tollefsen Is now tak
ing his beauty sleep, being 1p.m. He said
It is getting hot.
Private Xarklewlcz of the beauty squad
rolled down a hill with rifle and eide arms
'cause he heard the rustle of a skirt.
For some young lady
I am reading merry sidelight.
I happened to see your ad-.
And then came an Idea
I thought would make you gl&W
So down I sat with pen m hand
To write this little line
To ask this single question.
Just, "Dear, may I be thine?"
Although I don't know who you are,
But you're a soldier true.
So I will believe In you
As in the red. white and blue.
So if this note will cheer your heart
Let us hope that we may never part.
For as white rose Is hope and tree
Just so I will hope for you.
tYear this flow er on your breast
And think of one who could love j-ou best.

Jar enlisted men from the post go
down the road with their 22 rifles and
know who's after a Mexican dove for
supper."
The First regiment camp bulges an
L into a thick shrub growth of many
acres. The doves feed in there, and
poachers have been using 6inall rifles
at random since the camp was made.
On several occasions shots have
ricocheted Into the camp, but the in
spiration to make the authors "Mexi
can snipers" didn't occur until several
days later.
Some Quick "Work.
It was all so sudden. Between Dec.
3 and July 10 Corydon F. Battershell
was ordained to the ministry, met Miss
Gladys Bond, wooed her, became en
gaged to her four days after her gradu
ation from the Hyde Tark high school
of Chicago, accepted a position as min
ister of the Marinette (Wis.) Baptist
church, joined the militia, was called
to the front, was married three months
ahead of time at his fiancee's sugges
tion, went on his honeymoon to Camp
Douglas and left for San Antonio,
where he is now located with Company
I, Second regiment, Wisconsin organ
ized militia. Mrs. Battershell is the
daughter of A. J. Bond of 1312 East
Sixty-flfth street. The Bonds are mem
bers of the Rev. M. P. Boynton's church
and were present at the ordination of
the Rev. Mr. Battershell. Within two
months the engagement was announced.
The language of camp life is rapidly
settling down to a caliber which the
mules and horses can understand.
Oaths long burled since the Civil war
are being unearthed and distributed.
There is something about the life that
makes profanity necessary. It is pure
ly impersonal, but what else can one
do when a man walks over you and
your equipment with army tots caked
with clay six Inches thick? He dtesn't
mean to; there is no use Keeking an
apology. You will do it to some one
else in five minutes.
Speaking of celebrities. Kid M-Coy
Is back from his chase after thut
runaway horse. The Kid rounded up
the animal with a lasso. Nobody ever
suspected him of being such iiu expert
with the lariat, but the Kid explalne I
that be took a course at nlirht school.
The Kid Is now orderly to Colonel
Bates of the Seventy-first New York.
and he is a real orderly person.
