iU. P.)*—There is a "city of
dreams” near here, populated by
a handful of elderly men and
women »ho live almost entirely
in the past.
It Is Fort Dodge, Kan., where
veteraqs of the Civil and Span-
ish-Amsricans live a tranquil, un
disturbed life with their wives,
and where the widows of those
who fell during or after the bat
tles live.
Fort Dodge Is/a picturesque
village. There Is a drowsiness
about It which Imparts an air of
peace even to the casual visitor.
There Is no hustle, of business
there, quite In contrast to the
town of a few years ago when
Fort Dodge was one of the most
important of all the government
trading posts.
It is a eity o f\ reminiscence.

At one time, the medicinal use

that often the dried snakes are
