THE BLUE AND GRAY IN CAMP TOGETHER Fifty Thousand Visitors Expected In the Mtfle Tonn of Gettysburg near where the Derisive Battle of tlio ?War was Fought Fifty Years ago. Gettysburg, Pa., June 22.?The hills of Gettysburg, whore the armies of Meade and L?ee pitched their tents fifty years ago, arc flecked today with canvass, harbingers of the tented city which will soon arise on the battle field. The army of Civil War veter ans from the north and the south? 40,000 of them?are coming, some few in thread worn uniforms and all with out their muskets, to hold a jubilee reunion on the fiftieth anniversary of the battle. Some of the scouts are already here; the advance guard will bivouac on the lield within a week; the rank file will follow them not more than forty-eight hours later. Every star of the forty-eight in the American flag is expected to have here its own quota of veterans. They will come as the guests of tho Nation al government, and of their respec tive states and territories, which jointly will spend more than a mil lion dollars for their entertainment and comfort. To receive them the government and the Stale of Penn sylvania have made elaborate plans. One detail alone provide.; for furnish ing the veterans more than 800,000 meals. Pennsylvania lias been planning for the celebration of the battle for more than four years. She has ap propriated $415,000 as her share of the expense. Congress has appro priated $150,000 to defray the ex pense of the government's participa tion, and named a commission to help carry out the plans. Every State and Territory also accepted the general invitation to participate and nearly all of them appropriated mon ey to transport veterans and com nls sioners. The big oamp is pitcrcd on that part of the battlefield which lies southwest of Gettysburg. On nearly 300 acres of contiguous ground 7, 000 tents and more are going up un der the supervision of the War De partment. The camp lies partly on the scene of the first day's fighting and is not far from High Water Mark, where Plokett's famous charge I shattered against the Union lines. Five thousand tents have been erected for the, exclusive use of the veterans. The camp has been laid out like a city. Bach street and each ten has a number, so it will be easy for any veteran to look up a former comrade or foe. In the center of the camp will be the headquarters of the chief quartermaster. The veterans wil be encamped necording to Spates. Although each tent is designed to acommodate twelve men, it has been planned to assign only eight veterans to each, so as to make them as com fortable as possible. Each veteran will have a separate cot, blankets and a mess kit, which will contain a plate, cup, knife, fork and spoon and will become his personal property when he breaks camp. Each tent al so will have two hand basins, a water fbucket, candles and two lanterns. With the preparation of meals the veterans will have nothing to do. These will be wholesome and substan tial and will he served at the ends of the company streets. "Only veterans of the Civil War may be provided food, shelter and en tertainment within the great camp around the battlefield," reads the an nouncement of the commission. "Therefore, no woman or child or any man not a veteran will be given food, shelter or entertainment. No veteran should bring to (lettysburg any mem ber of his family or other person for whom he will have to obtain food and quarters outside the camp unless all arrangements therefor have first been made for them before lie or they come to Gettysburg." No veteran will be permitted to bring a trunk into camp, his baggage being restricted to that which he can easily carry -himself. The care of it will rest with him. The principal events of the celebra tion will be hold on July 1, 2, :: and 1, but in order to avoid congestion of 1 traffic on the railroad:: and confusion , at Gettysburg, the camp will be open ed on Sunday evening, June 20, the first, meal to be served at supper time. Twenty meals will be served to each veteran during the week if he is in camp that long and the camp will come to an end after breakfast on Sunday, July 0 Veterans have planned to visit his toric places in and about the great area where the battle was fought and where .skirmishes occurred that led up to it, and to hold reunions. The groat celebration will be in full swing on the morning of July 1. ex actly fifty years to the day from the time the battle opened to the west of the town. The program for the four big days is briefly as follows: July 1?Veterans Day. Appropri ate exercises under the joint direction of the Pennsylvania Commission and the Commanders-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic and the United Confederate Veterans. July L'?Military Day. Under the direction of the Chief of Staff of the United States Army. July 3?Civic Day. Under the di rection of the Governor of Pennsyl vania, presiding and participated in by the Governors of the States, it" they so desire. Addresses and music. July I?National Day. Patriotic exercises, orations, with fireworks in the evening. The exercises will be held in a great tent, one of the largest In the United States, capable of accommo dating about l?.O?O persons. This tent is at the southern end of the camp, beside the Emmitsburg road, down which Lee's army went after the close of the three day's battle. Except for the time the main ex ercises are being held, the big tent will be given over to the veterans to hold such reunions as they may arrange. The tent is so constructed that it can be sub-divided into many sections for these reunions. For the identification of old soldiers who may not be easily recognized by former comrades because of the changes wrought by the hand of Time, each veteran is expected to wear his army, corps, division, brigade, regi mental and society badges. After the principal exercises on July 1, there is no schedule of events except such as may be arranged by the veteran^ themselves in the way of reunions and short, exclusions about the held and to neighboring places. United States troops, whose camp will adjoin that of the veterans, will do constant police duly. Boy scout will act as guides. Pennsylvania's Stale police also will be on duty. The United States government has erected a m.immoth Held Ihospital close to the camp, fully equipped. The state also will have its hospital tents and the state Commissioner of Health will keep deputies in camp for constant inspection work. The Stale lire marshal, in addition, has assigned men to the camp and steps have been taken to prevent fires and to extinguish them promptly should any occur. The commissary department will be under the direct charge of regular army officers and will be one of the most Complete ever organized for a camp. There will be nearly sum cooks: 12.". bakers will furnish fresh bread every day for the big army. The greatest care has been taken In arranging for the twenty meals that will be served during the week. The menu was written with due; regard for the age of the men. It will be quite different from the hard tack and coffee and the occasional por tion of bean soup or "sow belly" given the soldiers In the historic days of fifty years ago. This part of the camp arrangements is in the care of Major. William R. Grove. The town of Gettysburg, which has a population of a little more than 1,000, will be unable to care for the influx of visitors and thou sands of them will be cared for In neighboring towns and cities as fat away as Harrisburg and York. Prac tically every private house in Gettys burg will be turned into a boarding house. Many veterans who desire to attend the reunion and want to bring members of their families have been unable to obtain accommodations and must leave them behind. Spcqln|y invited gur<sts of the State and National Governments will I bo given quarters in the Seminary west of Gettysburg and in the build ing of Pennsylvania College north of the town.

Many mothers think their children are suffering from indigestion, head ache, nervousness, weakness, costlve noss, when they are victims of that most common of all children's ail ments?worms.
