SUNDAY, APRIL 11, 1915 UR attention is re ^.pectfulljr called to '^an important point not generally known, that a laxative should have a tonic element to succe^ fuBy meet conatipation. Ur John B. Capers, of 810 Pecan St. Fort "Worth, I«H had a »1« nlflcant experience to th!» particular. Hs was afflicted with a M^n case of constipation and bowel trouble. He a good deal ofmoney to trying (Tflnd a remedy. To his aatonWi „ent Peruna. very quickly, relieved tta ot hU bad This happened a number of yeara rt a Since then. Mr. Capers states! that be has had similar attacks of trouble, toe promi nent symptom of which Is constipa tion, and has al a prompt and. ctent relief from Peruna. He says: -0p to the time itarted uoln* your Peruna I could flrink castor oil, like water. It did no good. As for nits, they were of no use. Physics of ill kinds and classes were used, but ire had to call on the fountain syringe for help." Peruna was able to cor rect this condition completely to Mr. Capers' case, and there Is every rea son to believe that It was the tonic qualities of Peruna, added to the laxa tive qualities, that procured desirable result.

The Y. W. C. A. was presented with a large United States flap by the two organizations. One of the most interesting features of the celebration was the relation by BraBtus Layton, 818 Fulton street, of his experiences at the time of the surrender. Mr. Layto® was a member of Grant's army at the time and his version of the surrender proved,, of great interest to those who attended the celebration meeting. The meeting wag opened by Cap tain L. D.

The flag salute was given by the members of the Women's Re lief Corps at the conclusion of the song. Review of Surrender. A historical review of the surrender of the confederates at Appomattox was given in an address by W. G. Blood. Mir. Blood prefaced his address with the remark that General Lee had been brought here In the year 1836 by the father of Major M. Meigs. Mr. Blood's version of the surrender was drawn from many sources. Al though the surrender of Lee was not the actual crisis of the war, it Is In it, as the final and closing scene of im portance that we are probably most interested, he said. He then describ ed in detail the actions of the two generals up to and during the time the terms of ipeace were drawn. In hiB conclusion, Mr. Blood said that while this war is thought by some to be insignificant in comparison with the present European war, that it was one of the greatest wars in history, in view of its effects. He quoted some statistics regarding the present war, saying that it had cost $2,000,000 an hour for the first six months and that six million men had been killed in the first eight months of fighting. Mr. Blood said he believed our civil war was the greatest in history at its time, and expressed the hope that it would be the last war the United States would ever be engaged in. Miss Baldwin and the sextette then sang Dixie, after which Mr. Layton gave his personal experiences at the time of the surrender. Mr. Layton's address follows: "I was a member cf the Sixth Army corps, army of the Potomac. The Union army had been Investing the confederate defences around Rich mond and Petersburg since July 18-61, and toward April, 1865," a final effort was to be made to overcome Lee's I army and. In accordance with plans and assignments made, on the morn ing of April 2, 1865, shortly after mid night, our infantry was formed out- BACK FROM THE FIRING LINE. their fate without a murmur of com-1 ery helps the stomach to do Its work poison and Impure matter.

Fisher boomed forth, the signal to go for ward and without firing a shot In re ply to the enemy's storm of shot and shell our forces never halted or wav ered until we had gained a footing In side their fortifications, and as soon as it was possible to restore order and ireform the different commands, a sweeping charge was made against their right- wing, and by 10 o'clock that portion of their army was either prisoners or in flight. ''We faced about and returned to their left, which had held out all morning, A close conflict lasted the rest of the day, and at nightfall ev ery disposition was made for the final stroke on the following morning, but when daylight broke the enemy had fled, apparently moving In the di rection of Johnston's army, still con fronting Sherman In North Carolina. Then began the running fight, Sheri dan with the cavalry persistently throwing command across their front, and the Infantry and artillery march ing day and night, through cold, rain and mud, battering away at the en emy's flank in an effort to change the direction of their retreat and force them farther northward in the direction of Lynchburg. "On. the afternoon pf the sixth of April our column iyas confronted by a heavy force of the enemy posted on a high timbered bluff on the south side of Saylor's Creek. An imme diate attack Tfras ordered, and as noon as our batteries ilnished their pre liminary work the Infantry went for ward, through the little valley north of the creek, and wading nearly waist deep through the stream, charged and carried their line, capturing a large number of prisoners Including Gen erals Ewell, Kershaw and Cuatls Lee, son of General R. E. Lee. This was the last hard fight I saw, only a light brush on the eighth at Farmvllle where the enemy had destroyed the bridge over the Appomattax river and contested our crossing. The usual desultory firing by our flankers, and the constant roar of Sheridan's guns In the front, continued until the fol lowing day—the' -memorable ninth day of' April, 18ff5. "Abput noon, or 'a little. lat6r, a halt was made and firing almost ceased. As we stood waiting In suspense, a staff officer from corps headquarters rode up to division headquarters and announced, "Lee has surrendered, let loose the guns." Hardly had he dis appeared when a second staff officer came with the order, "no salute will be fired.*' "That was an afternoon and night never to be forgotten by the surviv ors of that grand army of the Poto mac. Men wept, shouted, and gave way to expression of Joy, not in a spirit of exultation over our con quered foe, but in the glorious thought that the end of the civil war was at hand. The ever present dan ger from shot and shell and disease as well would be known no more. We could almost hear the welcome of friends so dear to us awaiting at our homes. The following day, while the terms of surrender were being- car ried out, we mingled freely with our late foes, all now friendly and glad the strife was over. They were hun gry, we had plenty, and many a feast they enjoyed that day from our store of hard tack, fat pork and coffee. Our army then counter-marched to Murkville, and while here, recetved the sad news of President Lincoln's death. The Sixth corps and: Sheri dan's cavalry were ordered to-North Carolina to assist in the capture of Johnston's army. We marched near ly one hundred miles, arriving at Danville, Va., on the North «carolina lines where We received the news or Johnston's surrender. Then began the march back to Richmond and Washington. The army of the Potomac except the Sixth corps, with Sher man's army arr ved at Washington and held that grand review on May 23, 1865. The Sixth corps arrive:! later, and with other detachments, was reviewed by President Johnson and Generals Grant, Sherman and Meade, June 8, 1865, and with glad hearts we hastened to our homes in the northland, welcomed by friends and kindred with a joy beyond expre's sion, but not without a tear for those who came not. The audience then joined in the singing of America, which closed the evening's program. The meeting was considered a most successful'one and was greatly enjoyed by the large crowd present. The celebration was held at the suggestion of Colonel David J. Palmer, commander In chief First Aid to the Wounded. PARIS, April 10.—At almost every! station on the railroads, you will see iof the G.
