THE END OF THE GRIP % __ REACHED AFTER EIGHT YEARS OF COM PLICATED TROUBLES. Deaf'i''**. Hissing Sou mis in IToad, Stomach Disorder, Palpitation of Heart and Debility Overcome at Last. Mr. Newman certainly had a very tough time with the grip, aud it is no wouder that ho thinks that the remedy that cured him can’t be beat. His case shows how profoundly grip poisons the system and how obstinately it resists all ordinary efforts to eradicate it. Few eases can be worse than Mr. New man’s for he had head, heart and stom ach troubles combined with great weak ness. He recently said : “ The attack of grip which I had eight years ago left me in a very bad fix. I became nearly deaf aud my head ached continually aud was filled with hissing and roaring sounds. My heart fluttered and had regular rauning-away spells. My stomach was so sore that I could hardly bear a touch on that part of my body. I had a great deal of pain in the j region of my liver and the doctor said that organ was enlarged. My kidneys ached so at times that I could hardly stand.” “ Didn’t you give up and go to bed?” ho was asked. “ No, I simply wouldn’t. My head and my back ached dreadfully, but I obstinately dragged myself about, kept growing worse and finally ran down to almost nothing.” “ What did yon do to get relief?” “ First I tried a doctor, but he did me no good. Then I took all kinds of ad vertised preparations but nothing proved helpful until I began to use Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. As soon as I got them I knew that I had at last hit the right remedy for my case. The very first box did more for me than anything else I had ever taken. They gave me relief right away and in three months they positively cured me. I think I was scarcely ever in better health in my life than I am at present.” Mr. William A. Newman is a well known Camden county farmer, living at Sagrada, Missouri. His case was a se vere test for any remedy, but Dr. Wil liams’ Pink Pills met every requirement. Other remedies merely drive the poison of the grip into hiding, but Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills drive it out of the system. They are sold by every druggist.

Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada: Am sending you the return of two fields of wheat grown on my home farm yast year. These returns are perfectly accurate, and not over-esti mated. I summer-fallow about one-third of my farm every year, and afterward take off two crops and summer-fallow again. The summer-fallow is ploughed twice during the summer, first shal low. afterwards deep and no weed al lowed to grow. The stubble is left as long as possible when cutting the first crop, and is burned the following spring, drilled d'rectly afterwards, and harrowed after drilling. This gives much better result than fall-plough ing. Field No. 1. Quarter-section fal lowed 1903, yield 37 bushels per acre. This wheat is netting at present time 8Sc pr>r bushel.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Definace Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in %-pound pack ages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chem icals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large let ters and figures “16 ozs.” Demand De fiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron stick ing. Defiance never sticks. Charity generally begins at borne, and with lots of folks never gets as far as their front door. Dealers say that as soon as a cus tomer tries Defiance Starch it te im possible to sell them any other cold water starch. It can be used cold or boiled. Some men hustls almost as hard for a job as some women hustle for a husband. Hundreds of dealers say the extra quantity and superior quality of De fiance Starch is fast taking place of all other brands. Others say they cannot sell any other starch A Nation's Strength. What builds a nation's pillars high And its foundations strong? What makes it mighty to defy The foes that round it throng? It Is not gold. It's kingdoms grand Go down in battle's shock; Its shafts ate laid on sinking sand. Not on abiding rock. Is it the sword? Ask the red dust Of empires passed away; The blood has turned their stones to rust. Their glory to decay. V And is it pride? Ah! that bright crown Has seemed to nations sweet; But God has struck its lustre down In ashes at His feet. Not gold, but only man, can make A people great and strong; Men who. for truth and honor's sake, Stand fast and suffer long. Brave men who work while others sleep. Who dare while others tty— They build a nation's pillars deep And lift them to the sky. Emerson. Typical Volunteer Officer. “Volunteer officers,’’ said the Cap tain, “were of all sorts, and in the first year of the war I wondered how they would maintain discipline when it came down to the things that tried men’s souls. I remember a young fel low, overconscious as to his own de ficiency, who was elected captain of a company. He made mistakes and was laughed at to his own misery, and the Colonel regarded him a failure. “One day the Captain, who had not fully mastered the school of the sol oier, and who was a little afraid of the big roistering men of his company, was ordered to look after some rebel cavalry threatening our outposts Just as he ordered his men into line along a fence that cavalry opened fire across a very large field, and the captain's company replied. No harm was done on either side and the rebs seemed to be laughing at the wild shooting of the Yanks. “At this juncture the Captain climb ed over the fence, and, shouting. ‘Come on, boys! Let's drive them out of that!’ started at a full run across the field. His men looked at him in amazement and stood still. Then a dozen of the bravest climbed the fence and ran after him, and they were fol lowed by the rest of the company. The rebs thought at first the disor derly charge was a great joke, but the young captain rose to the occasion and by audacity and energy drove the cavalry in disorder from the field. “From that day his company was afraid of him and he held aloof from the men. He devoted himself to tac tics, and after taking lessons of an old regular sergeant promoted to lieu tenant he became a most exacting drill master. When it came to cross ing a river or getting a battery up a hill, or a charge, his company always acquitted itself well. The men ex pected him to lead in whatever they were called upon to do. One day he came at the head of bis quick stepping company upon a train stuck in the mud. General Nelson was swearing and drivers of mules were nervous. The Captain ordered his men to stack arms, and said: ‘We are going to get them out. Ten men to a wagon, and out they go.’ He put his own shoul der to a wheel, directing his men as he did so. The wagons went out and before Nelson could say a word the men had taken arms and were marching off. But the General never forgot the young Captain, who was a major after Shiloh.”—Chicago Inter Ocean. Admiral Evans in the Civil War. Rear Admiral Evans, then a lieuten ant, commanded one of the detach ments of seamen landed by Rear Ad miral Porter to attack Fort Fisher on the sea front. It was intended chiefly as a feint to attract attention from the main assau.t to be made by the army, but the seamen were so much carried away by the possibility of capturing the fort by themselves that they charged it like crazy men as soon as they were ashore. Then the confed erates jumped to the conclusion that this was the main attack and massed their troops to resist the seamen. As a result the bluejackets, although they reached the foot of the parapet, suf fered severely, in killed and wounded. They did not retreat, however, but huddled along the outer edge of the glacis, where the confederates could not fire at them without rising high enough to expose themselves. Among those who fell at this point was “Bob” Evans, one leg being so shattered at the knee that it was ue'ieved impossi ble that it could he saved. “There we lay,” said Evans after ward, “the ’Johnnies’ taking pot-shots at us whenever they dared, and our men watching the parapet to fire at every head that came up, for that was our only protection against anni hilation. Not until the army took them in the rear and swept them from one traverse after another did we feel there was any hope to escape. We were so close to the rebs that we could ‘sass’ each other back and forth; and I think that was about the only thing that saved our lives; for there were so few of us left that the John nies could have gobbled us in a min ute if they had only known our weak ness. It was one of the few occasions when a really fluent profanity was practically useful, for it certainly had a discouraging influence upon the fel lows behind the parapets to hear them selves damned unanimously by a line of men who apparently had cuss wards enough to represent a whole army corps.” It is entirely probable that "Fight ing Bob”—for it was here that he re ceived the sobriquet which he had fairly earned, but which is extremely distasteful to him—not only did his share to bully the enemy by choice epi thets, but possibly he may have loaned out a supply of verbal ammunition to his men; for, as an old darky put it, “Marse Bob be a drefful pow’rful ex horter. for suah, when he once done give his min’ to de subjec.” Illinois Soldier’s Claim to Fame. In the engagement at Belmont one of the bravest feats of the earlv Dart of the war was performed by a Capt. Schmitt of the Twenty-seventh Illi nois. Under a heavy fire of muskett ry, which killed and wounded a num ber of men of this regiment, Capt. Schmitt, with part of his company, noticed that another company had been cut off and its flag seized by the enemy. He pushed forward in the face of a terrific fire and after losing half of his men before he reached the top of the slope, not only recovered the company flag, but tore from its staff the flag of the enemy and car ried both trophies back to his own lines. A remarkable fact about this en gagement was that it was the f.*st time the Twenty-seventh had been under hre. It had no guides of any sort and encountered great odds on every hand, but though It was badly cut up and at times during the en gagement lost at least three of its standards, it recovered them all and brought back, for good measure, three of the flags of the enemy. The Thirty-first Illinois, commanded by John A. Logan, also distinguished itself and did valiant service at thi? same fight. Gen. Logan, in describing the culminating point of the battle and illustrating his favorite custom oi stirring his men to action by the sight of the flag, said: “Gen. MeClernandy, who was by my side, ordered me to take my regiment and cut my way through the enemy I took my flag and told Capt. McCook to carry it to the head of the columr and die with it in his hands. I ther gave the order for the Thirty-first te follow the flag and myself and thev did it with as steady and firm step as if they had been veterans and not green volunteers.’’ This regiment successfully swept nil before it in this part of the field notwithstanding that many of tht guns of Logan’s command choked and burst during Qie progress of the bat tie. The Countersign. “In our army at the West,” said f captain of the Third Missouri Infant ry in the civil war, “the word ‘Poto mac' was given as the password foi the night. A German detailed foi guard duty understood it to be ‘Bot tc mic.’ and thus transferred to anothei German guard as ‘Buttermilk.’ Soor afterward the officer who had giver the word wished to return through thf lines and, approaching the sentinel was ordered to halt and the password v as demanded. The officer gave ‘Po tomac.’ “ ‘Nicht right; you don’t pass mi* me dis way,’ said the sentinel. “But this is the word and I will pass.” replied the officer. “ ‘No, you stan,’ at the same time placing a bayonet at his breast in a manner that plainly told the officei that ‘Potomac’ didn’t pass in Missouri “‘What is the word, then?’ asked the officer. “ ‘It i£h ‘Buttermilk,’ was the an fiver. “Well, then, ‘Buttermilk.’ “ ‘Dot ish right. Now you pass mil ;curself all about your piziness.’” Give Up Civil War Flag. Union soldiers of central Illinois who were at the famous battle of Fori Donelson were interested in the remov a! of the historical old flag of the Fif tieth Illinois infantry, which was the first to We carried into the fort. The famous old flag is to be deposited in the Grant monument in New York. It will be inclosed in a securely sealed glass case and placed upon exhibition. Gen. G. M. Dodge, now vice presi dent of the Grant Memorial associa tion, under whom the Fiftieth regi ment served, requested the contribu tion of this old flag, the history ol which he knew so well. The flag was made in Hannibal, Mo., for a Missourt company of three months’ troops, known as company B. Marion battal ion. This company disbanded in 1861 and was willing to turn the flag over to the Fiftieth regiment. The flag was at the battles of Fort Henry, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, Corinth, Booneville, Tuscumbia and numerous other engagements. Since the great conflict the flag has been under the control of W. T. Sherman post of Adams county, Illinois. To Pennsylvania Heroes. The committee of the State of Penn sylvania on the Vicksburg Memorial bas selected the design of ArchLtect Albert Randalph Ross of New York, lor the memorial at Vicksburg to the Forty-fifth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first and One Hundred regiments of Pennsylvania volunteers and Durell’s Battery ol light artillery. Mr. Ross was one of the designers of the national monu rcent to President McKinley. The memorial will be placed on a commanding position near Grant’s headquarters in Vicksburg National Military park. It will stand on a ter race and will be nineteen feet high from the base, with the upper part decorated in Grecian scroll work. The pedestal' is a massive solid block ol granite weighing fifty tons. This is fourteen feet high, eleven feet wide and five feet deep. The State of Pennsylvania has appropriated the sum of $12,300 to pay for it. Information Wanted.
