WAVES HIGH UP IN RANK
Sufferer From Effects of High Sea 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, cer tossing in his berth, muttering in what at first appeared to be a 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-h!"
 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!"

 FOR PELLAGRA

Harvey, La.-Mrs. S. w. Spruiell, 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 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 a flaming red, with much mucus 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.

Wronq Diaanosis.

One of the prominent clubs of this city gave 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 ''wel- 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?"
 'fWhy, welcome" stammered the decorator.
 Not by a long shot!" said the army officer. You have got up there, ITO h. with the army Life

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

Tn this hot weather there are al- ways number of fools who think they are kind to their horses when they turn hose on them and drench them with cold water to thoroughly cool them off," said veterinarian as he stopped driver from throwing water over his perspiring team. If the horse is overheated," 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 it's four legs bathed-the hind ones as far as it's launches, the front ones up to the chest. Then it is safe to wet it's head, neck and the part of it's 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 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"

Victims of the Druu Habit.

According to a 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 S50,000000. This estimate is based on figures col leeted in the state of Tennessee where under 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 8,49S,200 average doses.
