Here is the amazing story of a ,h man who had been eiven ud as a vie tim of Pellagra and who wandered through the principal cities of the d South in an effort to find relief. It n tells how after seven years of suffering he finally discovered a nat-l ural herb medicine that did what is nohtnig else seemed to have the n power to accomplish. It wiped out his disease, according to the words i of his own signed statement. Here n it is: Q "The doctors in Birmingham, Ala., and Atlanta, Ga., diagnosed my case as Pellagra. I thought I would soon die as most patients do. r But they treated me seven years and all the time I gradually grew worse. "I saw in the newsppapers how a herb medicine called Dreco had been discovered and how it was; . helping so many other sufferers ' from various diseases, I decided to i try it. r 'When I began on Dreco the skin on my hands was cracked open and ; my stomach was swollen to twice its j I j size. After taking three bottles of I Dreco all these symptoms have disappeared, my appetite is improved and I can eat anything I want. I am now able to work and was pro. moted today to be foreman at $8.17 J a day. I have gained six pounds, too." (Signed) B. J. Kincaid, ! 1649-46th St., Norfolk, Va.

Until this week the public has known nothing about the mystery ships, called the navy "Q" ships,, although several officers, notably Captain Gordon Campbell, have been decorated for their services onthese vessels. Details now can bemade public, as the Germans are becoming aware through bitter experience of the methods used against them. How "a woman and a baby" accounted for a U-boat is told by the correspondent. The submarine ordered a vessel to surrender and fired a few shells into her. The boats then left the ship, leaving on board a woman, who ran up and down the deck with a baby in her arms as if mad. The U-boat came alongside the vessel and the woman hurled th? "baby" into the open hatch. The "baby" exploded and blew out the bottom of the submarine. The "wo man" was decorated with the V1C4H toria Cross.
