But when I read so muclf about it in the Oregonlah here and papers from other places I finally made up my mind to try It, and I am back hers to tell you that in three or four days from the time I began taking It I found a decided change in my con dition.

It was the fate of this really great woman, after a lifetime spent among "moving accidents by flood and field," to come upon evil days In tho time of her old age. Clara Barton's retirement from the presidency of the American Red Cross society, the disputes and the recriminations that attended it, are still matters of too recent occurrence to be regarded in the cal light of history. She had- her savage detractors and her Impassioned defenders, but her death In 1912, following swiftly upon her practical deposition from office, silenced the One and only added to the loyalty of the others. The story of Miss Bar ton's Ufa or "activity and helpfulness is long- enough and stimulating enough. It would be futile here to try to clear the turbid waters in which her sun set. Miss Barton did not find her vocation early in life. She was 40 years old before the Civil war broke out. The Massachusetts troops were fired on in Baltimore, and she volunteered to go to the scene and nurse the wounded. Her earlier life had been spent as a sohool teacher and as a clerk in tho patent office at Washington. In the former vocation she won some local repute by fitting tip, through her own efforts, the first publio school In Bordentown, K. J. She commenced with six boys in a building that had been deserted, teach ing at herown expense; she ended the year with 600 and a school building erected at publio cost. Tho townspeople who thought there was no demand or need for a publio school were shown their error.' From Bordertown she went to Washington and spent three miser able years In tho patent office. Women clerks were little seen and less desired, tho men doing all they could to drive them out of tho service. , The Civil war created a new Clara Barton; the New Jersey school teacher, tho plodding , compiler and copyist of patent office records, became a national character, a figure well known in the camp hospitals and on tho battlefields. Shortly before the battle Of Bull Run her brother, who was engaged in busi ness within the Confederate lines, was capttlred by the Federals. Miss Bar ton determined to go to his aid, but thinking that a visit to tho front might bo made useful to others, 'put a small notice in a Worcester, Mass paper say ing that she would carry any stores or money that tho folks at home might want to send to wounded soldiers. The reply was so generous that sho pres ently had a building at Pennsylvania avenue and Seventeenth street, Wash ington, filled with goods she had prom ised to deliver to tho soldiers at tho front How to fulfill her promise was the problem, and It remained her prob lem until the and of tho war, for from that day Clara Barton was the reoog ntsed agent of communication between homo folks and tha boys in tho trenches. There were, It was truei' the United States Sanitary commlslon and various state commissions engaged in tho same errand of mercy, but Miss Barton's work was individual, personal, and seemed especially to touch the hearts of tho people. This, of course, was all before the days of the Red Cross. . ,To tell the story of her activities during the war would fill a book. -., Sho was present at such savage battles as Cedar Mountain, Antletam, Fredericks burg and the Wilderness. Though sho held no commission and represented no body, she was recognised by tho gov ernment and men. and teams and a safe oonduct everywhere were supplied to her. Sho herself seemed to put tho IlrsL-valuo. howeyr, on her work in the Identification of the"aiaallBtedaf missing, and la marking their burial places. . - While all human foresight had been employed during the war to secure the names OX the dead and to discover tho missing, It was inevitable that in so colossal a conflict, and a time of such excitement and disorder, all systems would fall. At the close of . the war letters poured In upon the authorities from people begging for intelligence of husbands, sons or fathers. The more merciful affliction had fallen ubon those who knew that, their loved ones were dead the curt report "missing" carried with It the possibility of such a multiplicity of woes. learning that nearly 80,000 such let ters of inquiry had been received, Miss Barton went personally to President Lincoln and asked that sha be design nated to receive and answer them. An order to that effect was promptly pro mulgated and k bureau organised. Even after its accomplishment this task seemed one to baffle tho most palnstak ing and keen searchers. Men had fallen in battles like that Of the Wilderness and their bodies were consumed In the fires that swept away the underbrush. They had been shot down crossing streams, only to be swept away by the torrent They had perisbid miserably In tho prisons or hospitalsf the enemy, where records were but carelessly kept or were aestroyea wnen trie conrnaer ates fled before tho advancing Union armies. Fortune sometimes favored the searchers. Such was the case with tho Atwater .records of Andersonvllle, Corance Atwater was a New England soldier who was confined in the great Confederate prison at Andersonvllle. He had been - detailed there by tho prison authorities to keep the record ot the deaths and burials. Foreseeing that these records might be destroyed, and feeling sure that - there would be a de mand in the north for them, he began, with secrecy and ingenuity, to copy ail the lists he prepared. He was hard put to It to secure paper and would some times mark down the day's list of deaths on a rag. but In 1865 he was freed, with a fairly complete list In his possession. This the war department with incredible stupidity, pigeonholed. while giving the compiler a government Job as a reward for his industry. When DOESYOURSKIN ITCH AND BURN?

Here the graves were marked with headboards and the full list of dead compiled. : To Miss Barton fell the honor of first raising tho United States flag over the government ceme tery at Andersonvllle. - r .: After a profitable year on the lecture platform, -ahe went abroad in 188J to rest The nature of her rest was to nurse the wounded In tho Franco. Prussian war. and do it with such. de votion that from queens and govern ments she received gifts of Jewels and decorations.' Queen Victoria decorated her with her own hands. Returning to the United States, she worked to persuade this country to Join in the treaties - creating the Interna tional Red Cross society. For a long time her efforts were unavailing. Some congressmen said : we would have no more wars, so what was the use?' Oth ers urged that such a treaty would con stitute one of those entangling alliances against which Washington warned us. At last however, with the aid of Gar fieldand in the administration of his successor, she won, and tho United States Joined in the most civilised ot all international agreements. - For some years Miss Barton's life was full of work and honor.- In flood, famine, and epidemio she was on the scone - with - assistance. ' Galveston, Johnstown, Charleston after tho earth quake, the Cuban concentration camps knew her work. By accident she was in Havana when the Maine was de stroyed.''. ; The list of foreign honors and decora tions bestowed upon' her would fill a page. But toward the end of her long i life her position was less certain at home. There was a serious revolt in' the Red Cross against her continued domination, and her last years were embittered by the hostility of soma who had been her associates and whom she thought her friends. Perhaps, like others who havo created a great or ganization, sho clung too long to its control. Her advancing years afforded not merely an excuse, but a peremptory reason for her retirement . But ' tho hardest lesson for any devotee to learn Is when to stop. Time will inevitably expunge tho petty dissensions and tht little weaknesses that attended Miss Barton's last days and leave her char acter standing forth as that of ono of the truly great women of her century.
