for the Heavy Artillery.


Captain Black, the local United States re-
cruiting officer, recently accepted a strange
recruit and assigned him to the heavy ar
tillery at Tampa. The man is Spaniard,
born in the land of the Dons. However. he
has lived in this country long enough to con-
slider it his country and he took the first OPP
portunity that presented itself to serve his
adopted land. The recruit, whose name is
Reynaldo de Peachee, was born in BARGE
Iona and came to this country when eight
years of age. Since that time he has become
a citizen of this country and has lived at
Dayton, o., for years. He is intensely Amer
lean in his attitude in the present war and
feels that whatever duty he owes to any ma
ton, is due to Uncle Sam.
DR.. John K. Morris, of this city, yester-
day enlisted in the hospital corps of the reg
ular army. The rest of the recruits were as
follows: Walter Denkewalter, John c. NAL
10y. Thomas Williams, Ernest Diquesney,
Spencer; Frank Hall. Dayton, o.; Charles
W. Nutter, Greentown; Robert P. Patton
Clinton; William Ascher HALLS Pickard,

her. Mrs. Thomas says "Shine" pulled out
a knife and made slash at her. Then she

A. w. Biting, of Purdue University, con-
ti6ue his investigation of hog cholera for
the benefit of the State this summer The

When we read Of an elephant hunter who
has been trampled to death in the wilds of
India, we wonder at the foolhardiness of a
man who will travel round the world and
endure all amer of hardships, in order to
court death in a far away jungle. A man
does not have to make a journey to India
IN order to court death in a manner equally
foolhardy.
Thousands Of hard working men are daily
counting death in a much more certain
form, without ever leaving their native vii
lagos or cities. They are the men who neg.
lect their health. They are the men who
our death from consumption, or some
other deadly disease due to improper or
insufficient nourishment. The man who
suffers from bilious or nervous disorders,
who has a weak stomach and an impaired
digestion, who has lost the power to eat,
rest or sleep, and who fails to take prompt
steps to remedy these conditions, is court
ing death in the guise of some fatal malady.
