Chickamauga nooga in Georgia and Tennessee; in Maryland ; Shiloh in Tennessee; Gettysburg in Pennsylvania, and Vicksburg in Mississippi have been made national military parks. Now congress is asked to add to the list the battlefields of Franklin in Tennessee and Petersburg in Virginia. Representative W. C. Salmon of Tennessee introduced the Franklin bill, he said, at the request of representatives from Ohio and citizens of his state and district. Ohio wras especially Interested because of the fact that the division of the Union army which suffered the greatest loss was largely from that state. Here are some of the things Representative Salmon said about the Battle of Franklin: It is known that the Battle of Franklin was the most bloody and the flerc-eo- t battle of the Civil war. It was In this battle that more men were killed in proportion to the number engaged than in any other during the entire four years. Thirteen generals and more than forty colonels were killed or wounded. The southern army commanded by General Hood and his assisting commanders was composed of the bravest n blood of the and best South, numbering among its officers who were wounded or slain such men as Generals Cleburne, Carter, Strahl, Cockrell, Gordon, Cranberry, Walthall, and John Adams. These men at the head of their commands marched to their death at the command of their superior officer with a chivalric bravery unsurpassed in the annals of history. It is said that there were about sixty thousand men engaged In this battle which lasted only four or five hours, and at its close there lay dead on the battlefield, either killed or wounded, something like ten thousand men. One of our most beloved members on the Democratic side, Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood, was one of the chief actors in this battle. It was at this battle that the fortunes of the Confederacy turned. It was the beginning of the surrender at Appomattox. Mr. Salmon got Into the Congressional Record the following excerpt from General Sherwoods work, Memories of the War: And what a night that was. After the battle the dead lay around the breastworks from river to river, outside the breastworks in & wider line from river to river a wider and thicker lino lay the Confederate dead. Amid the smoke and grime of battle and under the dun clouds of smoke almost hiding the stars, the Blue and the Gray looked the same. 1 stood on the parapet just before midnight and saw all that oould be seen; I saw and heard all that my eyes could see, or my rent soul oould contemplate In such an awful environment It was a spectacle to appal the stoutest heart. The wounded, shivering In the chilled g cries November air, the of the desperately wounded, and the prayers of the dying filled me with ' An-tleta- Anglo-Saxo- heart-rendin- anguish that no language can describe. From that hour to this I have hated war. Sir. Salmon also got Into the Record an excerpt from by Trotwood Moore, a southern author.

General Hood said to General Stuart, "We will make the fight the battle was now raging all around the line There was a succession of yells, a rattle, a shock, and a roar as brigade after brigade struck the breastworks, only to be hurled back again or melt and die away In the trenches amid abatis.

A clogged intestine breeds poisons that reach every part of the body. These poisons ruin the complexion and undermine health. Constipation brings on such ailments as headaches, bilious attacks and insomnia, each of which saps your health and vitality. Avoid Laxatives say Doctors Laxatives and cathartics do not overcome constipation, says a noted authority, but by their continued use tend only to aggravate the condition. Medical science has found at last in lubrication a means of overcoming constipation. The gentle lubricant, Nujol, penetrates and softens the hard food waste and thus hastens its passage through and out of the body. Nujol is not a medicine or laxative and cannot gripe. Like pure water, it is harmless. Take Nujol regularly and adopt this habit of internal cleanliness. For sale by all druggists.
