s 600.W1 j por years the veterans have been
7««s*« looking forward to this reunion. It Is
r - f' probable that there will be present
'• manv thousands of survivors of the
;v ■ batUe. The United States government
under an act of congress has appro-
it. 4'--' oo priated money for the preparation of
•t M>0 m the camps and for the messing cf the
soldier visitors. The average age of
' the men engaged in the Civil war was
iKi only eighteen years, but fifty years
j"; have passed since these soldier boys
oo fought at Gettysburg, and so if the
w computation of age was a true one the
oo average years of the veterans who will
... meet in Pennsylvania In July will be
llr: 5i about sixty-eight years. Many of them,
l.iw'oo ! 0f course, will be much older and a
good many of them, men who entered
at ages ranging from fourteen to sev-
enteen years, will be younger, but all
will be old men as the world views
them for a longer period, for the pur
pose of installing the field bakery, the
field ranges and ln dismantling, clean-
ing. packing and storing material after
the encampment is over.
The old soldiers are to be supplied
with fresh meat directly from refrig-
erator cars drawn upon the field. They
will be given fresh vegetables and spe-
cial bread with the beet coffee and tea
which the market affords. For them It
will not be a case of hardtack, bootleg
and poor bacon.
The Battle of Gettysburg commis-
sion of the state of Pennsylvania has
a large sum of money at Its disposal
for the entertainment of the visiting
veterans, and the thousands of persons
who will accompany them. Hospital-
ity is to mark the days. Fifty years
ago Pennsylvania aided in the work of
repelling the visitors from the south.
In early July next the same state will
have its arms wide open in welcome
to the men wearing the gray. Enter-
tainments of various kinds will be of-
fered the visiting veterans, but it is
pretty well understood that their deep
interest in revisiting the scenes where
they fought, Little Round Top, Oak
Ridge, Cemetery Hill, Culp's Hill,
Rock Creek, the Stone Wall and other
places will hold them largely to the
pleasures and to the sadnesses of per-
sonal reminiscences. Arm in arm with
the Union soldiers the Confederate sol-
diers will retramp the battleground.
They will look over the field of Pick-
ett's desperate charge. They will rt«
trace the marching steps of Longi
street's corps. They will go to the
place where Meade had his headquar-
ters and to the place from which Lee
directed his southern forces ln battle.
Pennsylvania is going to make a
great celebration of peace of this fif«
tieth anniversary of what probably
was the decisive battle of the war. al-
though it was fought nearly two years
before the war ended. Other states
will help Pennsylvania ln its work, and
from every section of the country,
north, east, south and west, the vet-
erans will assemble, most of them
probably to see for the last time in
life the field upon which they were
willing to die for the sake of their re-
spective causes.
The veterans will not be directly en-
camped in the Gettysburg park, which
is dotted with monuments to the vari-
ous commands which took part in the
fight and which is laid out in approved
park fashion, with fine drives an<i
beautifully kept lawns. There will be
two camps, known as No. 1 and No. 2.
No. 1 will cover 149 acres and No. 2
will cover 44 acres. The layouts of
these camps are based on the use of
conical tents, each of which will, with-
out crowding, accommodate eight per-
sons. Inasmuch as accommodations
are to be furnished for 40,000 visitors
5,000 tents will be required to give
quarters to the visiting hosts.
Visitors to Be Cared For.
Every possible care is to be taken
of the visitors. The sanitary arrange,
ments which have been made are said
to be the best that are possible and
they are the result of careful study by
medical officers of the service. All the

The pimples would break out as large
as a common plnhead all over her
head. They would break and run yel-

with itching and burning. It was sore
and itched all the time. The matter
that ran from her head was very thick.
I did not comb her hair very often, her
head was too sore to comb It, and
vt^en I did comb, it came out ln
bunches. Some nights her head itched
so bad she could not sleep.

they did «o much good I bought a cake

weeks. A week after I had washed ber

Infant Hygiene at School.
Out In Cleveland 17 trained nurses
are now giving lessons in infant hy-
giene to the girl pupils attending 15
public schools. It Is reported that the
girls have shown an intense and de-
lighted interest in the lessons, absorb-
ing eagerly all that relates to the
proper care of babies. This kind of
instruction in the public schools repre-
sents something more and better than
the activity of faddists. America, like
other countries, has a very large in-
fant death rate. Thousands of infants
die annually because they have not re-
ceived proper care. It is easily con-
ceivable that the proper training of
girls might save the lives of many
babies.

Big Task to Feed Men.
The survivors of the war from the
north and south who will be present,
being old men. must be cared for in
' a way which would not have been nec-
essary fifty years ago The messing of
the veterans will require 4©0 srmy
ranges. 1 great fleld bakery. 40.000
«jess kits. cooks, 800 kitchen help-
ers and 180 bakers This helping per-
sonnel will be required to be ln camp
ear at least seven daja. and many of
dlers in attendance, and taking Into
consideration the probability that the
weather will be warm. It is expected
that there will be sickness, but the
United States government and the
state of Pennsylvania are preparing
for a hospital service which shall be
adequate to any contingency. There
will be hospital corps detachments
present ready to render first aid to
the injured, and there will be many
field hospitals with surgeons In at-
tendance, where the sick can receive
instant attendance.
It Is eaid that this contemplated re-
union has induced more interest
among the old soldiers of the north
and the south than any event which
has happened since the day that the
war closed. There Is today at Gettys-
burg a great national park, ln which
is included a cemetery where thou-
sands of soldier dead are buried. The
United States government and the leg-
islature of Pennsylvania worked te«
gether to make a park of the battle*
field and to mark accurately every
point ln it which has* historic interest.
When one goes to the field he can tell
just where this brigade or that bri-
gade was engaged, just where this
charge or that charge was msde and
just where the desperate defenses of
positions were maintained until the
tide of battle brought either victory or
defeat to one of the Immediate com-
mands engaged.
It waa ln 1895 that congress estab
lished a national park at Gettysburg
and gave the secretary of war author-
ity to name a commission "to superin-
tend the opening of sdditlonal roads,
mark the boundaries, ascertain and
definitely mark the lines of battle of
troops engaged, to acquire lands which
were occupied by Infantry, cavalry and
artillery, and such other adjacent
lands aa the secretary of war may
deem neceaaary to preserve the impop
tant topographical features of the bat-
tlefield."
When the Union and tha Confeder-
ate veterans reach Gettysburg on June
80 next they will find on the scene of
the old conflict between five and au
hundred memorials raised In commem-
oration of the deeds of their com-
mands on the great fields of the Penn-
sylvania battlefield. There are, more
over, 1.000 markers placed to dealg
nate historic spots There are great
towers built upon the fleld by the gov-
ernment so that blrd'a-eye views can
be obtained of the entire acene of tne
battle. Fine roads have been con-
structed and everywhere attention has
