PERSHING'S MEN
IN GOOD HEALTH
Sick Rate in Expedition Less
Than Half That in
United States
OFFICERS PRAISED
BY GEN. PERSHING
Not a Single Case of Typhoid
?Dysentary Prevailing
:S y'\ Ailment.
* ________
Only six deaths from disease and a
present sick rate of 1.5 per cent for
tho American punitive expedition
since it entered Mexico more than
five months ago was the record contained
in official figures given out by
the sanitary department. Adding the
number of sick being treated at the
base hospital to those in the field, the
rate is increased to 2.5 per cent.
Therehas not been a single case of
typhoid, the prevailing ailment being
dysentary.
"This is a remarkable record for an
expedition serving in this sort of a
country with nothing but field equipment,"
declared Gen. J. J. Pershing,
commander of the punitive expediiton
when shown the department's figures
"It probably is as low a record as
any similar expedition ever has set
and shows the wonderful strides
made along sanitary lines within the
last few years and the high efficiency
of the sanitary department.
"It also shows the high appreciation
of sanitary regulation by line
officers, who have been held to a
ctnpf ?ppniinf -f r?v vmlafinna fKoca

commands. Only once during the
life of the expedition has there been
what threatened to become an epidemic.
This occured greatly at a
camp south of headquarters, where
the water caused a number of cases
of amoebic dysentary. When the
sick rate climbed to 5 per cent the
chief surgeon and his entire corps
were sent from headquarters. A
quick and exhaustive study of camp
Conditions was made and measures
taken which soon reduced the rate to
1.7 per cent. The chief means used
in curing this epidemic was the clordanation
bag. This destroyed the organisms
in the water which caused
the disease. At the tim ethere were
125 cases at the camp mentioned.
There are now 113. From available
data it appears that the sick rate in
the expedition is leas than half that
-pf the Vmted btates."
IN LOVING MEMORY.
On July 22, 1916, Mrs. Louisa Sessions
departed; this life at the age of
85 years. She leaves three children,
Mrs. F. P. Grainger, Mrs. A R.
Grainger and- Mrs. R. A. Harrelson,
also one sister, Mrs. Pollie Blanton.
besides a host of friends and relatives
to mourn the loss. She was a
devoted mother and a loving grandma
and a friend of the truest type.
Always ready to lend a helping hand
in the time of need. She was a member
of Mt. Zion Baptist church and
lived a consistent member until the
end came, and on her dying bed asked
the Lord to ease her pain and
take her home as she was ready to
go.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. J. W. Todd and her
remains were laid to rest in the Martin
cemetery.
It grieved us all to have to give
grandma up but we know that our
earthly loss is her eternal gain and if
we ever hope to meet with her again
we must uve a lire here devoted to
Christ.
Dear Grandma thou art gone.
Gone where sorrows never come,
Gone to live with Jesus,
In that home beyond the sky.
A precious one from earth has gone,
A voice wo loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.
May we all meet her again is our
prayer.
Her Qrand Son,
WALTER GRAINGER.

Liven up your sluggish liver! Feel
fine and cheerful; make your work a
pleasure; be vigorous and full of ambition.
But take no nasty, dangerous
calomel because it makes you sick and
you may lose a day's work.
Calomel is mercury or ouicksilver
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel crashes, into sour bile like
dynamite, breaking it up. That's when
you.feel that awful nausea and cramping.
