THE LEAVENWORTH WEEKLY TDIES THXJRSDA 17 JULY 1, 1K)9 3 test marks her as a fine writer, and her TP IS 'HE TEST BESIDES OUT while there are finer buildings in other homes, there is better food, more of it and beter cooked in here than can be found in any other Soldiers home outside the regular army Home in long as investigating committees fail to do their duty, and Corps are equally indifferent, women-get into the Woman's Relief Corps who should have been quietly informed that our organization does not want them. These women, once in, become the disturbing element which makes discipline necessary, ani without discipline, chaos will be the result." HHEUMiOTSC Rheumatism is doe- to an excess of uric acid, an irritating, inflammatory accumulation, which gets into the circulation because of weak kidneys, constipation, indigestion, and other physical irregularities which are usually considered of no Importance. Nothing applied externally can ever reach the seat of this trouble; the most such treatment can do is soothe the pains temporarily; while potash and other mineral medicines really add to-ha acidity of the blood, and this fluid therefore continually grows more acrid and vitiated. Then instead of nourishing the different muscles and joints, keeping them in a normally supple and elastic condition, it gradually hardens and stiffens them by drying up the natural oils and fluids. Rheumatism can never be cured until the blood is purified.

S. S. S. thoroughly cleanses and renovates the circulation by neutralizing the acids and driving the causa from the system. It strengthens and invigorates the blood so that instead of a sour, weak stream, depositing acrid and painful corrosive matter la the muscles, joints and bones, it nourishes the entire body with pure, rich blood and permanently cures Rheumatism.

S. S. S. contains no potash, alkali or other harmful mineral, but is made entirely of roots, herbs and barks of great purifying and tonic properties. Book on Rheumatism and any medical advice free to all who write.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC ATLAHTA, GA. Four hundred and eighty-seven members are on extra dnty this week, fifty of whom are woTking for their health. James F. Tarr, of company, is back in camp from off furlough. Stephen O.

DonneH, 14th Wisconsin infantry, who was admitted to the Home last week, is in the hospital sick. James D. Ray and James B. Dougherty quit work in the hospital Monday, and went back to II company. Taylor Pitts, a colored veteran who served in 56th United States colored troops, is a new member admitted this week and asigned to barracks.

Ohle served in and 77th Ohio infantry and Sherman in A. 17th Vermont infantrv.

While our home goes in for baseball. of horse shoes. The Marion Chronicle gives the following account of the last game pitched at that home: "Probably the most remarkable game of horseshoe pitching ever witnessed in Indiana was that at the Soldiers' home horseshoe pitching grounds on Friday afternoon. Several hundred spectators gathered about the model horseshoe pitching plat at the home, and witnessed a remarkable exhibition of skill by two teams, one representing the home and one the outside world. To If it is not one sensation in a Soldiers' home, it is sure to be another.

Right on the heels of the stories alout the veterans in the Pacific branch leaving that Home on account of the scarcity of food, comes a story from the Marion home about the members quiting that branch on account of the scarcity of drink. The Marion Chronicle has this to say about the latter story: "The 6tory published in an evening paper to the effect that hundreds of members of the Soldiers' home have been leaving the Home because the city of Marion has voted dry and that because the membership is so diminished it has become necessary to install a number of jriris a3 waitresses to take the places of the veterans in the mess hall is denied at the Home. An official of the Home said Wednesday that the story published was ridiculous. It is true that a few members of the branch have taken their leave ostensibly on account of the prospective absence of the saloons, but the departure of most such men is not deeply mourned. The biggest nuisance in a barrack is a drunken member.

The "dry" conditions at Marion will attract other soldiers who can pet along without "booze." The object of the Marion branch has never been mere bignes. the theory of the management being that the best administrative results cannot be had with a membership of much over 2.000.' To show how some old veterans like to hike around over the country we give a little sketch of the travels of John Mul-lany, 15th. Iowa infantry, as he roamed from Home to Home. John was first admitted to the Milwaukee home Oct. 31st, 1877; transferred to Hampton home in July 18S2; transferred back to Milwaukee in November 1883: transferred to th Leavenworth home in September 18S6; discharged from here in De cember 1887; readmitted to Milwaukee in June 1891; dropped from the rolls at Milwaukee in October, 1892; readmitted to the Marion home in May 1895; transferred to Milwaukee in January 1896; discharged from Milwaukee in March, 1897; readmitted to the Davton home in February, 1899; transferred to Milwaukee in September, 1899: transferred to Danville in September 1901; discharged from Danville in February 1903; readmitted to Marion in May 1903; transferred to Dayton in June 1904; discharged from Dayton in November 1904; readmitted to Leavenworth in January 1905: transferred to Danville in May 1906; discharged from Danville in December 1908; applied for readmission to Leavenworth in June 1909.

An old vet was heard singing this ditty in the guard house the other morn- All over this country we're swimming in booze, But vhat is there in it for me? The saloonkeeper's kids arc wearing new shoes. But what is there in it for me? The distiller's share is an automobile, A carriage the retailer's share of the deal, But I'm wearing shoes that are down at the heel. And that's all there's in it for me.

Members of the home in uniform will pay their five cents to the conductors on the cais as no more round trip tickets between the home und town will be sold at either office. Mr.

Swan will still continue to handle tickets to Kansas City and intermediate points as heretofore, but no more five or ten cents business for him. The National Tribune of last week says that a granite obelisk 100 feet high and costing 50.000. according to the present plans of the Arlington Confederato Monument association, will be erected soon in Arlington cemetery to the memory of the 'on federate dead. Work is to' begin, it is said, as soon as the subscriptions reach .420.000. More thsn half of this amount has been subscribed, and organizations have been perfected through the southern states which are sending in an average of $500 per month.

There is no monument in Arlington to the Union dead. It is expected that congress will apnropriate at leat for the Confederate monument.

And now the baseball player in Pennsylvania, are in trouble over the way in which they use the Stars and Strifes. They claim there is a special ruling allowing ball teams to float their penant above the National flag during games. The National Tribune says that statement is not correct, and adds; "The flag law of Pennsylvania positively prohibts any such exhibition of disloyalty to the flag.

Seldom has a man died in this Ifonie whose death was more regretted by his comrades than was the sudden taking way of Hudson Chapman, company sergeant of barracks, who died from heart failure shortly after he was taken to the ItosfiUl Thursday morninj, June 24th. The Testimony of Leavenworth People stands the Test The test of time is what tills the tale. The public soon finds out when misrepresentations are made, and merit alone will stand the test of time. Leavenworth people appreciate merit, and many months ago local citizens publicly endorsed lXmn's Kidney Pills; they do so still. Would a citizen make the statement which follows unless convinced that the article was just as represented? A cure that la" is the kind that every sufferer from kidney ills is looking for.

William J. Dial, 72S Oege street, Leavenworth, says: HK)8) "it is now rive years since 1 have used Doan's Kidney Pills, but 1 still think highly ot them and gladly confirm my tormei endorsement." On March 11th, 1905, Mr. Dial said: "For two years 1 suffered oil and on from sharp pains across my loins. If 1 sat still tor any length ot time and then attenipteu to arise, sharp pains radiate throughout my back and caused me great suffering. The kidney secretions passed frequently, were hignly colored and deposited a sediment resembling Drick-dust.

Alcnougli 1 tried several remedies, I wa not relieved until 1 had the good fortun to learn of Doan's Kidney Pills. 1 procured them at E. C. Fritsche's drug store and they cured me." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 rents.

His death was sincerely mourned not only by the men in company r. but by every one who knew him and had deal ing with him in the civil walks of life. Chapman served in 16th Kansas cav-airy, and was years of age.

He was admitted to the Home June 15, 1897, from Stilling, Mo. The remains were escorted to the grave in the Home cemetery by members of company and hurried with military honors; Chaplain Payne officiating. The Sawtelle Enterprise says: Emil Poedicker, a member of the Pacific branch, was killed by an electric car while walking along the tracks at the Palms on the evening of June 19th, TJoe-dicker was a lientenant colonel of the 84th United colored troops and was 81 years old.

Tf those Ohio veterans in this Home who responded to the call of Gov. Todd Sept. 2, 1802, when Cincinnati was threatened by Bragg's army, will tend their names and address, together with the number of regiment and company in which they served to W. L. Curry, commissioner of soldiers' claims at Colummis, Ohio, thev will be sent blank for which they can apply for the $13 that is coming to them from that state.

This $13 is to be given only to those surviving "Squirrel Hunters" that went out in the fall of 1802, under that eal and is Intended for no other veterans The following notes from the Danville home are taken from the Commercial-News, of last Friday: Samuel O. Thomas, late sergeant company 49th Ohio infantry, has been appointed sereeant in Home companyN. Joseph S. Holley, late commissary sergeant 07th Indiana infantry, has been appointed captain of Home company N. Miss Maude Miller, dining-room sergeant at the hospital, has been off duty for several days on account of sickness.

Patrick O'Connell, United States navy; Lloyd Vorhees. K. 4th New York infantry transferred from the Hampton home to Danville. A report was started in camp last Friday that John N. Hutchison, the newspaper reporter, known as "Paper was dead.

The rumor was soon proved false and contradicted by Mos-? Thorpe, of I) barracks, who had just received a letter from him stating that he was alive and well, eating his three mals a day. "Hutch" is enjoying himelf at the residence of his brother-in-law in Syra- -l til cuse. ana semis ins Kinu regards to those friends and comrades left behind in the Home. If his health continues to improve he will he back here in the Home sometime next month. "Old Hutch" hrs a "few" friends in this Home who would indeed grieve to hear of hi death, and thev are not of the fair weather variety either.

A special dispatch to the Denver Post from Los Angeles, California, d.ited June 24th. has this to say concerning affairs at the Pacific branch: When President Taft comes here next September he will be waited on by a delegation the dissatisfied veterans at the Sawtell National Soldiers' home who will request him to make nn investigation of conditions there. This investigation, it is asserted, will show the necessity of transferring the management of the Home from the New York ommission to the war department. Governor Cochran refuses to discuss the agitation started by the veteran against vhat they call intolerable conditions. He said if the president choe to make an investigation his position would be vindicated.

He admitted that he had heard charges of graft in connection with the management of the Home. "Rut the idea of graft is absurd." he said. "If any grafting is done, it is not by the management of the Home." We will venture the asertion that if the Pacific branch had uch officers in charge of their commissary as we have in the persons of Capt. D. C.

Goodrich, Lieut. Woodcock and James Shearer, there would never have been the stir raised' as has Tecently been done in that National Militay home in California. Unlike the state of affairs as is said to rxit out in the Pacific branch, our commissary officers are busy studying and fixing up" menues for the old yets that will give them change of food each day.
