MANY SOLDIERS UNFIT. Tubercular Body Causes Hundreds to Be Exempted at Camp Wheeler. Macon, Ga., Jan 6.?The army tuberculosis board, composed of 15 doca tors and headed by Maj. Orlando Dam Yis of New York, has completed its H investigation of health conditions at Camp Wheeler and, it is learned tomight, has eliminated 500 men. Some V of these men, it is stated, had tuber culosis before being drafted into the W army, which bears out the charge of * Lieut. Col. L. C. Duncan, division surgeon, published at the time of the epidemic in the camp, that "50 per cent, of the men accepted by local boards are physical wrecks." Those who had the disease before entering the army have been discharged and returned to their homes, while those who contracted the disease in service have been sent to Fort Bayard, N. M., for treatment. The tuberculosis board divided into two sections here tonight, members going to Fort Screven, some to Jacksonville, Fla., end some to other points to continue Its work. Three hundred and twenty-nine men left Camp Wheeler this afternoon on a special train for Leon Springs, Texas, where they will enter the officers' training school. The train is in command of Maj. J. G. Coxetter, of the thirty-first division headquarters. Eleven new cases of pneumonia developed today. Plan Entertainment for Soldiers. Reports coming from Southern camps show the vaudeville shows, running in tents, are crowding seating capacities. With the 16 Government theatres at the cantonments completed, the Commission on Trainin e Camn Activities will soon sthrt several high grade theatrical companies on the rounds of the camps. Each company will be out about 15 weeks. Local committees in cities and towns throughout the country will put on sale "smilage" books the week of January 28 containing coupons good for admission to the entertainments in camps and cantonments. The books are made in two sizes, to sell at $1 and $5. Grocers Warned. \ Reports of violations of the sugar combination sales ruling recently issued by the United States Food Administration have come to the attention of the food administrator for South Carolina. The Food Administration has issued a warning to all grocers that only one combination sale with sugar is allowed, that of cornmeal. Grocers are allowed to require a purchaser to buy two pounds of cornmeal to every pound of sugar. No other combination is permitted. The following telegram was received recently from the United States Food Administration in Washington: "On and after this date all combination sales food commodities are _ J forbidden, wun exceyuou sun.eu uclow. Sale of one or more food commodities upon condition that purchaser shall buy one or more other f food commodities from seller is regarded as combination sale within meaning of this ruling. Combination sales frequently result in sale of more foodstuff than particular purchaser would ordinarily buy and are therefore determined to be wasteful practice within meaning of section 4 of Food Administration act of August 10, 1917. Exception, pending further notice and as a wheat conservation measure, dealer may sell sugar in combination with cornmeal at rate of one pound sugar with two of cornmeal. No other combination will he permitted, nor will any other ration than that here stated be allowed. Dealer shall not sell either sugar or cornmeal at price yielding him profit greater than he has normally enjoyed upon the particular commodity. Dealer is not required to make combination sales sugar and cornmeal but may do so at his discretion. Active steps should be taken at once to enforce this decision." Plenty of Rabbit Meat. Lexington, Jan. 3.?"Did you ever track a rabbit in the beautiful white snow?" asked a well known gentleman of Lexington. This gentleman, along with hundreds of others scoured the woods near Lexington new year's day and brought in hundreds of the cotton tails, fresh, fat and juicy; and there will be many rabbits substituted for other fresh meats in Lexington for several days to come. Everybody has been tracking rabbits. One man said that he had been a long way from home and hardly a foot of woodland, sage or stubble has been left unsearched during the day. Many quail, too, have been slain by bunters who tracked them in the beautiful snow to their places of hiding and bagged them on the ground? and without the aid of a dog. From Postman to Millionaire. Secretary Baker wired an ex-post-! man?a man who caried the tan bag on the streets of Cleveland for eight I years?to come to Washington. "Can you see to it that the army gets all the motor trucks it can use?" asked the Secretary. "Yes," replied the postman, "but I won't do any work myself." That was in August. In forty-eight hours he had wound up his personal affairs and within ten days had founded an office and a nation-wide organization. We are now getting threeton army motor trucks at the rate of a dozen an hour. The name of the ex-postman is Christian Girl?an unforgetable name It is the name of a man who does the impossible in a quite, sane eminently possible way. Bringing on a perfect hailstorm of motor trucks is only an incident in his career. This man served mail for eight years; that was eleven years ago. Before that he had been successively an ordained Methodist clegyman, a water boy, a coachman a street sweeper and a milkman. Now he is forty-two, the president of a $35,000000 company of his own creation, . and rich beyond any further desire. Add to this that his health has always been frail, that he cares nothing for money, does not measure success in terms of dollars and hopes to die poor. There is in epitome a career that goes several better than any Horatio Alger ever conceived.?Leslie's. Christmas gifts for the expeditionary forces aggregated 650 tons. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of turkeys, purchased in eastern markets and refrigerated on the ships, together with great quantities of cranberries, sweet potatoes, and mincemeat went to the forces overseas. In the United States every camp wras supplied with fresh turkey and the usual Christmas accessories. EASY MATTER FOR I WOMEN TO ACCORDING TO THIS LADY WHO NEW STRENGTH AND NARY IRON Highly Concentrated, It Is More Powerful, Cheaper, Too, and Goes Twice as Far. , "I suffered for years with various troubles. I seemed all run down and failing fast. I imagine it was stomach trouble and liver principally that brought on all the complications that came later. I tried several doctors and sent away to ?, Buffalo, N. Y., but their medicine did me no good. Indigestion, sour, bitter eruptions from my stomach. Flatulence, billiousness, torpid liver, weak and J nervous feeling, headaches, poor blood and catarrh of long standing, head noises and aches and pains until honestly when I look back at those months and months of suffering I wonder how I stood it all. Trying to keep store and look cheerful with cniph ail inputs tnererins and Dulling: you down is awfully hard. I owe my relief to a salesman who walked in one day when I was suffering particularly bad and he told me about Acid Iron Mineral. He had been troubled the same way I was until he took Acid Iron Mineral and so on his recommendation I started taking this great remedy. I took three bottles and it j did me a world of good. I felt better than I have in years. I am blessed with wonderful health and strength, thanks to A-I-M, and I now weigh 150 pounds, while before tak- ; ing it I had almost given up ever be- j ing well and strong again. I praise it because I'm sure there can be no ' medicine on the market today that : will beat Acid Iron Mineral," en- i I When Opport IEnterpri 5 Per Cent. Interest Paid on Savii Picked Material Used. No part of an airplane is subject to greater strain than the landing gear when the machine is brought to earth. Because of this each piece of the wooden material is made from carefully selected spruce, reinforced by binding. The metal joints are further strengthened by rubber windings which also increase resiliency. All parts are cut to air-stream shape to decrease resistance. In the construction of one airplane of the more simple type 244 feet of spruce, 58 feet of pine, 31 feet of ash, and 1 V2 feet of hickory are used. The list of material, exclusive of the engine, also includes 3,262 feet of wire, 798 forgings, 921 steel stampings, 57 square feet of veneer, 11 gallons of varnish, 59 gallons of "dope," 201 square yards of linen, 34 feet of rubber, and 65 pounds of aluminum. Over 4,000 nails are used, 3,377 screws, and 276 turnbuckles. Federal Loans to Farmers. Up to December 1, $29,824,655 had been paid out to farmers on 5 per cent long time loans, according to a report covering the operations of the 12 Federal land banks. The total of loans approved, including those closed and those awaiting verification of title and other formalities, is $105,136,529. The interest rate under the farm loan system has been increased from 5 to 5 Vz per cent., to apply to all applications which have not yet been approved. Borrowing is done through cooperative farm loan associations organized by farmers, each association being composed of 10 or more farmerborrowers and each group borrowing at least $20,000.' Up to December 1 the farm loan board had chartered 1,839 such cooperative associations. Slates and slate pencils at The Herald Book Store. Save paper by using a slate. EN OR ' BUILD UP STRENGTH REGAINED HER WEIGHT, FOUND VIGOR IN JUST ORDIREMEDY. thusiastically states Mrs., E. Short; of Van Dyke, Va. Anyone, by taking a few drops of Acid Iron Mineral mixed in water two or three times a day can be benefited wonderfully. It is just plain, highly concentrated natural iron. It is more powerful and cheaper than weaker prepared pills or preparations containing iron as the chief medicinal element. Everyone knows iron is good for the blood and whole system, building people up almost like magic. The reason is plain. To make rich blood you must have iron. Without rich, red blood your strength leaves you, blood gets clogged very often with uric acid causing rheumatism troubles and the whole system becomes weakened and run down. Being very powerful, a few drops in a glass, of water makes a dose. It is sold only in original bottles under "AJ-M" trademark on the bottle and^rton. This is your guarantee of full strength and quality. Most druggists have it and a twelve ounce bottle costs but a dollar and is a splendid investment if the reader is in search of something to cleanse, build up and strengthen the system. Pallid, yellow complexions soon disappear if the thousands of users of the past thirty years are to be believed. Get a bottle today. Acid Iron Mineral is sold here by Mack's Drug Store, J. B.
