stomach was affected, too. I also suf
fered from nervous dellblty and a gen
eral run down condition, I tried every
thing I could hear of, but the best I
ever got from any of them was a tem
porary relief. I had spent so much
money trying to got well that I was
preUy well discouraged when I heard
of Plant Juice. 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

four days from the time I began taking
It I found a decided change in my con
dition. I am feeling better now than
I have for years, and beginning to feel
as though I could enjoy . life again.
You can say for ma that anyone suffer

their minds to take Plant Juica right

Catarrh la a most dreaded disease as

mucous membrane reaches from the

Plant Juice is taken up by the circula

FAMOUS WOMEN OF HISTORY
Clara Barton, 1821-1912
By Willis J. Abbot.
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

Miss Barton's mission was announced
he Informed her ot the information
ready ito hand. She secured it and with
the necessary assistants, hastened to
Andersonvllle. 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.
