John Casey Has Taken Up Quarters In Soldiers Home.

John Casey, of Fair Oaks, has taken up his residence at the national sol•diere’ home at Marion. He went there last Friday after transacting some business in Rensselaer. He did not reach the home until 9:30 at night, but was assigned to Barracks 7 in Ward 2 and had a good night’s rest. John Thornton and William Chilcote, two old residents of this city, are both at the home. He says that he is permanently located there but will continue in the “Boditone” business.

He says that A. B. Crampton, the governor of the home, has made a number of changes, cutting out red card pass and permitting the soldiers to come and go as they please so long as they behave themselves. He says the soldiers dine sumptuously three times a day. They dress at five thirty in the morning, eat at six thirty, have dinner at twelve and supper at one table at five thirty and the other at six. He says everything is nice and convenient, the soldiers are sociable and agreeable and generally the men are fine. John says that his birthday will be Nov. 25th, which is Thanksgiving day and that turkey, cranberry sauce and many other good things are to be served. The weather is fine and some of the old soldiers are pitching horse shoes and others walking through the beautiful grounds. There is a mistaken idea with some people who seem to believe that a soldiers’ home is a military prison where soldiers are abused and starved to death and simply come here to die. That is an erroneous idea and John says: “We have every convenience and the very best sanitary conditions, witjs rules for health and cleanliness.” In closing John wishes to be remembered to his friends and old comrades. A letter to the National Military Home, Marion, Ind., Barracks 7, Ward 2, will reach him.

Sufferer from Indigestion Relieved. “Before taking Chamberlain’s Tablets my husband suffered for several years from indigestion, causing him to have pains in the stomach and distress after eating. Chamberlain’s Tablets relieved him of these spells right away,” writes Mrs. Thomas Casey, Geneva, N. Y. Obtainable everywhere. C Bad coal is the ruination of domestic bliss.
