Here is Proof
St. Paul, Minn.—“Here is a little
fdvice I would like to have you put in
the papers,” Mrs.
Jack Lorberter of
704 Deliwood Place
wrote to the Lydia
E. Pinkham Medi-
cine Company. “If
young women want
to keep their health
and strength for the
next thirty years of
their lives, it is best
tostart in right now
and take Lydia E,

table Compound. I have tried the
Compound myself and received fine re-
sults from its use.” In describing her
condition before taking the Compound,
she writes, “I was afraid in my own
house in broad daylight, I used to
Jock the doors and pull down the
shades so that nobody could see me.”
One day a booklet advertising the
Vegetable Compound was left on her
porch and she read it through. In so
doing, she found a letter from a woman
whose condition was similar to her
own. “I bought Lydia BE. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound,” Mrs. Lorberter
continued, “and have had fine results.
My eondition made me a burden to my
husband. Now I ask him, “How is
housekeeping?” and he says, “It is just

BATTLE SBIR QRFGO™ =.°
By ELMO SCOTT WATSON
F ALL the New England states, which
from the earliest days of American
history have sent out her bravest
and best to “go dewn to the sea im
ships,” Vermont is the only one
which does not have a single mile
of seacoast. Yet the Green Moun-
tain state gave to the nation two
great naval heroes and both did the
deeds which gave them enduring fame at a time
when the American navy was just beginning to
make the United States a world power. The time
was the Spanish-American war and the two men
were Admiral George Dewey, the here of Manila
bay, and Rear Admiral Charles Edgar Clark,
commander of the Oregon in her historic dash
around Cape Horn,
Recently the little town of Bradford, Vt., where
one of these naval heroes was born, honored the
memory of Charles Edgar Clark by erecting
in its memorial park a bronze statue of the man
who helped make it famous. Several years ago
Admiral Clark attended the dedication of Brad-
ford’s memorial park as a patriotic shrine for the
community, little realizing that a short time after
his death his own image in bronze was to be
the dominant figure in it. And to a country pub-
lisher, Col. Harry E. Parker, editer of the news-
paper, United Opinion, at Bradford, belongs the
credit for both the memorial park and the Clark
statue. It was his initiative which brought into
being the park, a little triangle of grass and
flowers and trees facing the picturesque Bradford
town square, and his devotion to the ideal that
his town should honor the men whe had brought
honor to it which resulted in the erection of the:
statue at the cost of an unlimited amount of
work on his part, as head of the Bradford
Memorial association, and the cutlay of a con-
siderable sum from his own personal funds.
But when his work was done thousands of
people came to Bradford for the dedication cere-
monies. Among them were Curtis D., Wilbur,
secretary of the navy; Gov. Franklin S. Billings
of Vermont; Mrs. Louisa Clark, widow of the
gallant commander of the Oregon, Mrs, C. F.
Hughes, his daughter, wife of Admiral C. F.
Hughes, commander in chief of the United States
navy, and many other notables. When they
unveiled the monument there stoed revealed the
bronze figure of the navy hero, standing just as
he so often stood on the bridge of the historic
Oregon, and on the native Vermont stone base of
the monument was a bronze tablet bearing the
following inscription: “Rear Admiral Charles
Edgar Clark, U. S. N. Born Bradford, Vermont,
Aug. 10, 1843. Died Long Beach, California, Oct.
1, 1922—Entered Annapolis Naval Academy
Sept. 29, 1860. With Farragut Battle Mobile Bay,
Aug. 5, 1964. Race of U. 8S. S. Oregon from Cali-
fornia to Florida Mar. 18-May 26, 1898, Battle of
Santiago, Cuba, July 3, 1898.”
This simple inscription tells only a small part
after the chicken is browned, then re-
turn it to the gravy and cover, and
finish cooking slowly for as long as
needed to be thoroughly done.
Molded or jellied chicken and ether
meats are liked.
Chicken Curry.—Singe and cut the
chicken at the joints into pieces for
serving. Cover with boiling water,
add two teaspoonfuls of salt and a
few dashes of pepper. Simmer for
half an hour, or longer if not tender,
then drain, dredge with seasoned
flour and brown lightly in butter. Fry
one large onion in the same fat, mix
one tablespoonful of flour, one tea-
spoonful of sugar, and one __table-
spoonful of curry powder, and brown.
Add one cupful of water or stock, one
cupful of tomato or one sour apple
chopped, with salt and pepper to taste,
Pour this sauce over the chicken and
simmer until tender. Add one cupful
of hot cream and serve with boiled
rice.
Jellied Chicken.—Bring to the boil-
Ing point two cupfuls of chicken stock
from which the fat has been removed,
add to it one tablespoonful of gela-
tin which has been soaked in four
tablespoonfuls of water. Press into
a mold four cupfuls of seasoned
chicken, pour over the stock, put un-
der a weight and chill until firm. Any
other meat may be served in the
same way,
Maryland Chicken.—Dress and cut
up a chicken, sprinkle with salt and
pepper, dip into flour, egg and crumbs,
place in a well buttered dripping pan
and bake in a hot oven, basting with
one-third of a cupful of butter. Ar-
range on a platter and pour over two
cupfuls of cream sauce,
of the life story of Charles Edward Clark. the
scion of an od New England family, born in the
same town, among the hills of Vermont where
his great-grandfather, emigrating from Roxbury.
Mass., early in the Nineteenth century, had settled
and where both his father and grand®ther were
born. Clark once expressed his love for his native
state in these words, “From my earliest childhood
I never wearied of watching the ever-changing
aspect of the different mountains and I felt the
general devotien to them all. not uncommon per-
haps, to boys brought up among the hills; but
Mount Lafayette was the special object of my
admiration, and one of my first extravagances was
the purchase of a small telescope to bring this
wonderful mountain nearer.” Strange that this
boy from the hills should answer the call of the
sea! But when he did. he carried with him his
love for them and for their heroic traditions. He
once confessed that, when confronted with the
most difficult problem of his whole career, he
gained inspiration for his decision frem the
history of the gallant Vermonters who fought in
the Revolution and the Civil war and his
determination to hazard meeting the entire Span-
ish fleet single-handed at the time of the dash
of the Oregon half-way around the world was in
part the result of their heroic example.
Educated in the district scheols of Bradford
and the Bradford academy, Clark entered
Annapolis at the age of seventeen and his twen-
tieth birthday found him serving with the West
Gulf blockading squadron. A year later he was
following Farragut through the hell of gunfire
which swept that commander's fleet when fit
steamed past the Confederate forts in Mobile bay.
Although the Spanish-American war gave Clark
his chance for world-wide fame. his superiors in
the Navy department had known fer a long time
what sort of stuff was in him. In 1868 he was
shipwrecked off the coast of British Columbia
when the Suwanee founded and, through the loss
of his ranking officers, he found himself in eom-
mand of the 33 survivors. He organized them into
a defensive party to held off 400 hostile Indians
and did it until help arrived.
In 1892 occurred another incident which showed
the heroic strain in him. This was the explosion
and fire in the magazine of the Mare Island navy
’
yard in which 14 persons were killed. Clark, then
a commander, was one of the first to arrive on tha
scene. Streams of water were being poured upon
the smoking ruins of the brick filling house, and
smoke was rising from the roof of No. 1 shell
house in which all the small arm ammunition,
fuses and boxes of detonators were stowed. Clark
immediately ordered another hose connected up
and, carrying the nozzle himself, entered the
building and put cut the fire that had almost
reached the wooden ammunition containers, Later
it was found that there was enough powder there
to have caused an explosion which would have
doubled the casualty ‘list, had the fire reached
it, and the first to have been sent to death would
" have been Clark.
Step by step Clark had risen from lieutenant in
1867 to captain in 1896 and his career had been
a varied one. He had served on Pacific, West
Indian and Asiatic stations, he had been staticned
at several navy yards, he had been an instructor
at Annapolis and he had spent three years in sur-
veying the northern Pacific coast and four years
in lighthouse inspection, Outstanding in his record
had been the qualities of trustworthiness and
resourcefulness. One of the questions contained in
the fitness reports on record in the Navy depart-
ment is this one, “Would yeu as commander of a
ship or squadron consider .......... a fit officer
to be intrusted with hazardous and important
duty?’ In the fitness report on Clark, made in
1893, the replies made by his fellow officers was
without an exception in the affrmative.
So it was something more than chance that he
was selected to command the battleship Oregon in
March, 1898, when her captain was disabled for
service by illness, and to bring her on the 14,000-
mile run from San Francisco to the vicinity of
Cuba where the first rumblings of war between
Spain and the United States had already been
heard. On March 16 the Oregon set out on the
voyage that was destined to become the longest
emergency run undertaken up to that time by a
modern battleship. Clark had had just 48 hours
in which te make his preparations for the trip
after taking command of the ship and when he
had started he was strictly “on his own.” For
there was no radio in 1898 by which he could keep
in constant touch with his superior officers, and
in case the formal declaration of war took place
while he was still en route it meant the sealing
of all perts in which the Oregon might ‘be repaired
in case of emergency.
When he arrived at Rio Janeiro on April 30 he
was told that war with Spain had been declared
and that the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet
under Admiral Cervera, which had left the Cape
Verde islands, was unknown. There the Navy
department placed upen him the responsibility of
deciding whether the Oregon should remain safely
at Rio Janeiro or proceed to Key West, and by
doing so risk meeting the Spanish fleet in a battle
fn which the Oregon would be hopelessly outnum-
bered. Clark was not long in making hig decision.
He immediately started north! Ever since he had
left San Francisco the prayers of the natien had
followed the Oregon as she steamed forth upon
her lonely voyage and when he left Rio Janeiro
the national anxiety was increased. Then on May
24 there was nation-wide rejoicing when the word
was flashed that the Oregon had arrived safely at
Jupiter inlet in Florida. Here he was compelled
te make another momentous decision. In order to
join Admiral Sampson's fleet he would have to
over-ride the opinion of his chief engineer who
advised him to go to Norfolk navy ward to have
the Oregon overhauled. The Navy department had
authorized this action, but again Clark made the
decision in favor of getting to the scene of action
as quickly as possible, despite the danger involved,
Twice he had been authorized and almost invited
to step aside for the moment from the hazards of
war and twice he declined to do so and risked his
reputation in doing so. Had either decision
resulted disastrously it is probable that the nation
would have been as quick to damn him as it was
to acclaim him when the event turned out as
it did.
On May 26 the Oregon arrived at Key West.
Car. HARRY THARKER
Clark had covered the 14,000 miles of water in
67 days, the longest and quickest trip of any
battleship then afloat and still a world’s record.
Today a battleship could go from California te
Florida through the Panama canal in 20 days.
Despite the strain that had been put upon the
Oregon’s machinery by the killing pace, she
arrived at Key West fit for immediate service and
a few days later joined Sampson's fleet, The
nation had only a few weeks to see the result of
the efficiency of the Oregon in both the care of the
ship itself and the training of her crew.
In the great naval battle of Santiago on Sunday
morning, July 3, the Oregon played a leading part.
As the Spanish vessels attempted to flee and pass
the American battle line, it was the Oregon, follow-
ing closely behind Commodore Schley’s Brooklyn,
which develeped the wonderful burst of speed in
excess of that called for In her contract which
brought her alongside the Spanish ship Viscaya
until that vessel, riddled by the gunfire of the two
American ships gave up the fight. Then the
Oregon joined In the chase of the Cristobal Colon
which was fleeing westward, far ahead of the pur-
suing American ships. At 1:15 o'clock in the
afternoon a 13-inch shell from the forward turret
of the Oregon, on which Clark had stood during
the entire engagement, crashed into the Colon.
Fifteen minutes later the Spaniard made for the
shore as evidence of his defeat. The battle was
over. It had lasted exactly four hours.
Later in the war the Oregon steamed from New
York to Manila where she was on duty during
American operations in the Philippines. Clark
was advanced six numbers in rank for his dis-
tinguished service during the war, and at the
age of fifty-nine he was prometed to rear admiral.
He was retired from active service in 1905 on his
sixty-second birthday and until his death in 1922
was carried as a rear admiral on the retired list
of the United States navy.
The Oregon also went into honorable retire-
ment after her notable career. One of the high
spets in her last days of service as a part of the
reserve fleet of the Pacific squadron occurred in
1915 when she led the International Naval pageant
staged at the time of the opening of the Panama
canal. In memory of her famous trip from the
Pacific to Cuban waters in 1898 she was given the
distinction of being the first battleship to pass
through the canal. On board at the time were high
government cfficials and some of the men who
served on board her in 1898, who had been allowed
to re-enlist for this historic occasion. After the
pageant the Oregon proceeded to California. She
lay at anchor in San Francisco bay where she
was visited by thousands of visiters to the Pan-
ama-Pacific exposition,
During her last years she was used as a train-
ing ship for young sailors. In 1918 she came back
again to San Francisco, where she had been built
in 1896, and there the valedictory of her active
service was pronounced in the following press
dispatch:
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL. May 17.—~“Good-by, dear
old Oregon,” was the sentiment voiced by hundreds
of men, women and children during the last week
of the Victory Liberty Loan campaign, when they
visited the famous old battleship for the last time
as she lay at anchor in San Francisco bay. Within
a few weeks the grim fighter of nearly a quarter
century ago will take her place with the Constitu-
tion in the hearts of the American people: the
Oregon will go out of commission and become a
memory.
