Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims

Some very remarkable results are
being obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with pure
vegetable oils, which exert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the Instructions
of poisonous focal matter and gases and
preventing their absorption by the blood.
This done, the food is allowed free pas
sage from the stomach, fermentation
ceases and stomach troubles quickly dis
appear ~.
George H. Mayr, for twenty years a
leading Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends Of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years
standing by this treatment, and SO sue
cessful was the remedy he devised that
it has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who have
sold thousands of bottles.
Though, absolutely harmless, the eff
feet of the medicine is sufficient to con-
vince any one of its remarkable effect
1veness, and within "a hours the sufferer
feels like new person. Mayr's Won

said Mr.. Fay, in commenting upon the
growth of the institution. In those days
we wrecked a soap box to get a piece
OF lumber. For the last three or four
years, however, we have had constantly
on hand more than 100000 feet of lumber
and timber Of every conceivable d men
sion and class. and a day seldom passes
in which no building material is hauled
from the yards. We can erect building

troops under such orders are vaccinated
and are ordinarily assembled IN camps
near the transport several days before
departure. Sometimes in time of peace
they are marched direct from the trains
aboard the vessels.
X !:
So many details must be considered in
the embarkation of a large body OF
troops that it is not an easy matter to
handle them, and requires tie laying
of careful plans. Quarters on a modern
army transport are laid out by COM
panies, and the deck plans of each
steamer are carefully marked before the
emparkation begins.
The first body of troops to go aboard
is the guard selected for that day. They
take immediate possession of the guard
quarters, and the sentinels are posted
before the troops come aboard. To pre-
vent the stowaway of persons who may
don the uniform to secure passage across
the ocean each company is lined up i'm
mediately before embarkation for roll call
and careful inspection is made of each
man as he answers to his name
Every transport is equipped with It's
official bulletin board on which the daily
orders and announcements are placed.
They contain, also, certain rules and In
structions by which the companies arc
guided. The rules existing on each trans
port are strict. To keep a big ship
which carries great bodies Of men in
first-class condition at all times during
the voyage requires constant vigilance,
SO that penalties. though slight, are I'M
posed for any infractions.
Transport police, an army officer and
his assistant are detailed for the entire
voyage to see that the quarters occupied
by the troops are kept In spotless con-
dition Once each morning the police
onicer makes an inspection. If there are
any prisoners on board they are generally
used to police or clean parts of the
vessel for which the individual COM
panies are not responsible.
In Transporting big bodies of men.
however well disciplined they may be,
there is always more or less confusion
and sometimes a little disorder unless tho
usual army post restraint is in evidence.
This is the guard. Consequently on each
of the transports there is guard mount
ing daily at am, the personnel of the
guard being selected from the various
commands on board. Their duties are to
preserve order. protect property and to
deny access by the troops to certain
parts of the ship. to see that the lights

Uncle Sam does not believe in sending
a human cargo ship to sea without TAX
ing ample precautions against any emer-
gencies which may arise. On the trans
pacific ships he instructs his quartermas-
ters to stock their vessels with seventy
five days rationS of non-perishab e artl-
cles. Twenty-eight days is the maximum
period for these trips, and enough 1resh
meats and vegetables are carried Tor
this length of time. But the emergency
supply must always be on board. This
usually consists of 1900 pounds of hard
bread, $3.50 cans of corned beef and 80
large cans of baked beans. Besides this,
he issues one extra ration to each SOL
dier at the beginning of a voyage to
guard against deterioration of any por-
tion of the food in the troop mess.
On each transport there is one OF Uncle
Sans stores. at which the passengers
on board may buy such supplies as
candy, tobacco, soft drinks and various
other articles at little more than cost
prices. These are also in charge of the
commissary officer.

Adequate accommodations for the ships
hospital are not overlooked. On the con-
trary, the transport hospitals are the
most completely equipped OF any to be
found in the army, and are in charge of
an army surgeon and a corps of trained
assistants detailed from the hospital
corps.
The preparations for the departure of
an army transport resemble those made
for the ordinary ocean liner. except that
all stores and freight must be loaded and
slowed away several days before the
sailing date, so that the stevedoreS have
finished their work in ample time to
make room for the embarkation of the
troops. Ammunition is first slowed away
in the magazines. then come the supplies
and last the property and baggage of
each company.
When troops are assigned to foreign
service a physical inspection is made
by the post surgeon just prior to their
departure for the port of embarkation
to detect those men, If there are any,
who may be unfit for such service. If
any are coand physically unqualified they

being one of the objections to cement
construction. With my lumber yards to
furnish material for forms, / can con-
struct a building out of cement which
will last thousand years for less money
than would be required for building a
frame house. Cement construction is ad-

preventive of ravages of rats and mice
and for feeding floors for all kinds of
stock.
I'VE sometimes use cement construc-

one thing We must always buy for our
buildings is roofing material. as no Sec
