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.

"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

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.

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.
