What came near being a seri-
Gus accident occurred Sun day at
ternoon when the mule driven by
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd Magee and
little daughter Ellen took fright
from passing automobile, Mr..
Magee and little Ellen had gotten
out of the buggy thinking the
mule might scare at the ap-
preaching car and it would be
safer to hold him by the bit.
He jerked loose from Mr.. Magee
however and Mrs. Magee who
had remained sitting in the bug.
gy jumped out, thinking the
mule was going to run away,
Fortunately she was not injured
by the Jump and neither was the
buggy broken as mule stopped
after trotting up the road a short
distance. 1t seemed a proyi-
DENTAL escape tho, for to those
in the car it appeared as il Mrs.
Magee had been thrown from
the buggy and Upon running
back to give assistance we were
much gratified and delighted to
find that aside from a little ner-
vousness Mrs. Magee was the
most composed one of US all.

Wrono Diaqnosis.

One of the prominent clubs of this city gave a contract for the decoration of their building in honor of the visit of the fleet, and the decorator con- ceived the idea that the word wei come" spelled out in signal flags would be an appropriate and beautiful design for the front wall, over the entrance. He asked a naval officer for directions, and, following the code which said officer wrote out for him, very inter- esting result was obtained. Judge of the surprise of the contractor when an army officer, happening by, asked; Do you know what you have written?"
 Why, welcome" stammered the decorator.
 Not by long shot!" said the army officer. You have got up there, ITO h. with the army"-Life

FINDS A CURE
 FOR PELLAGRA

Harvey, La-Mrs. S. W. Spruiel. of this place, writes: ''I suppose it will be a great pleasure to you to know that you cured my child. She had pellagra very bad and the doctor said she never would get well. She is well of pellagra and looks fine.
 You may use this letter as a testimon- ial if you wish. Great benefit have you done my daughter, Mindie Abrams"
 There is no longer any doubt that pei lagra can be cured. Don't delay until it is too late. It is your duty to consult the resourceful Baughn.
 The symptoms-hands red like sunburn, skin peeling off, sore mouth, the lips throat and tongue flaming red, with much mueus and choking; indigestion and nausea, either diarrhoea or constipation.
 There is hope; get Baughn's big Free book on Pellagra and learn about the remedy for Pellagra that has at last been found. Address American Compromising Co.,, box POST, Jasper, Ala, remembering money is refunded in any case where the remedy fails to cure.-Adv.

WAVES HIGH UP IN RANK
Was Designating Them as He Watched Their Approach.

A New York man was crossing the Atlantic with an army officer who suf- fered greatly from seasickness.
 On entering the stateroom one par ticularly rough day he found the off, Ger tossing in his berth, muttering in what at first appeared to be sort of delirium.
 Stopping over to catch his words, the friend heard him say: Sergeant -. major sergeant . major =. brigadier general .. ugh, lieuten- ant general .. . a-a-a-hi"
 What are you saying?" asked the friend in some alarm. as the sufferer looked piteously up at him after his last gasping "a-a-ah!"

ARTILLERY DUEL
 AT MEXICO CITY
cARRANZA OFFICIALS CHAGRiN- ED AT FAILURE OF GEN. CON-
 ZALEZ TO ENTER CAPITAL.
FAMINE CONDITIONS WORSE
United States Has Been Given Assur ance That Every Effort Will Be
 Made to Guard Foreigners.

Washington. Anxiety increased In official quarters over the situation in Mexico City, as the State Depart ment has been unable to communicate by telegraph for several days with that city.
 Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz said Carranza officials were much cha grined at the apparent failure of Gen. Pablo Gonzalez to enter the capital. Reports that Gonzalez was engaged in an artillery duel with the Zapatistas gave the first intimation that the Vil- la-Zapata forces in Mexico City had determined to offer resistance to the invading Carranza army instead of evacuating.
 Gonzalez himself, it is indicated, cut communication between Vera Cruz and Mexico City to isolate the Zapata forces.
 This prevents the State Department from communicating with the Bra gillian minister, and deprives all other foreign governments of information concerning their diplomatic missions and subjects.
 Famine conditions in Mexico City have been growing worse daily and investment by new army, it is fear ed will cause much suffering to for eigners.
 While generally understood that there will be no further development in the general Mexican situation so far as the United States IS concerned until the return of President Wilson from Cornish, it is thought in official quarters that the situation in the southern capital may force a new crisis.
 Carranza has given this government assurance that every effort will be made by Gen. Gonzalez to guard the lives and property of foreigners if his troops enter the city It is feared. however, that fighting may be carried into the old capital by the contending forces. although the diplomatic corps hitherto has been successful in per suading the garrison to evacuate rather than give battle in the streets.

Victims of the Oruq Habit.

According to recent estimate of the United States public health serv- ice, the number of persons in this country who are victims of the drug habit is about 10000, and the number of doses of narcotic drugs consumed by them annually is about S50,000,000 This estimate is based on figures col lected in the state of Tennessee where under a recently enacted antinarcotic law 1,403 permits were issued in six months to persons petitioning for the privilege of using narcotic drugs. and the consumption of such drugs amount ed to S,49S,200 average doses.

SHOULD COOL OFF GRADUALLY
Mistake to Turn the Hose on Per spring Team, Is the Assertion
 of Veterinarian.

Tn this hot weather there are all ways a number of fools who think they are kind to their horses when they turn a hose on them and drench them with cold water to thoroughly cool them off, said veterinarian as he stopped a driver from throwing water over his perspiring team. If the horse is overloaded" he contin- ued. the shock of such a bath on the region where the kidneys are sit uated is enough to kill it, and even if it does no apparent harm the horse will succumb much more readily to the heat afterward. After a horse has been working in the broiling sun it should be cooled off as gradually as possible. The first thing to do is to take a sponge and wash out it's mouth. This removes the saliva, which is poi sonous, and refreshes the animal greatly, before it can be allowed to have drink. After this the horse should have its four legs bathed-the hind ones as far as its launches, the front ones up to the chest. Then it is safe to wet it's head, neck and the part of its back immediately behind the neck. Care should be taken. how ever, to keep the region of the kid neys perfectly dry. This habit of driving a team up before a fire en- zine house and playing a hose indis- criminately over their. bodies is ac- countable for the death of many good horses every summer"

Resinol positively and speedily heals eczema, heatrash. ringworm, and similar eruptions, and clears away disfiguring pimples and have been almost useless.
 Resinoi is not an experiment. It is doctors prescription which proved so wonderfully successful for skin troubles that it has been used by other doctors all over the country for twen- ty years. Every druggist sells resinol ointment and resinol soap.-Adv.
