DR. W. W. SHOEMAKER FORMERLY RESIDENT OF MOBILE, ALABAMA
Says Ferraline Is the Only
 Remedy That Ever Bene- fitted His Wife-Recom- mends It to His Patients

Dr. W. w Shoemaker, physician and surgeon of Handley, Tex, was former ly a resident of this locality, practtcing for years in Washington county, Ala. He is well known by the physicians of Mobile and stands high in his profess sion.
 "Ferraline." said Dr. Shoemaker, to a Representative of the Frankville Medicine company, T hold very highly as a remedy to be used in the treat ment of catarrhal condition of the stomach and bowels. In my opinion, it is unsurpassed as remedy for con- trolling hemorrhage from whatsoever source. It's healing powers are very great"
 "Ferraline is the only remedy that have ever found that gave my wife per manent relief from the form of indi- gestion from which she suffered for a number of years Through its use she has completely regained her health"
 Ut is a good tonic, one that may be easily assmilated by delicate stom ach, and a reconstructive that will build up the system in natural man ner. and do it easily and quickly. It is a natural regulator, acts upon the kid neys and gives strength to the body. It does not contain any alcohol or other habit forming drugs, and can only be
 
 beneficial in it's use.
 T am using Ferraline in my practice daily, and with splendid results. It will quickly relieve the soreness of the stomach and bowels due to improper digestion, prevent the forming of gas, and gives the system red blood cor puscles."
 Tn serious cases" continued pr. Shoemaker, where the patient can af- ford it, the recognized health resorts of the country are recommended. as these minerals are in their natural state and more easily assimilated than any manufactured preparation. The analysis of Ferraline brings it in the class of these mineral waters, in a concentrated form, therefore, results should be obtained in much shorter time than from lengthy visit to a health resort"

ings on Ellis island were exaggerated, according to Capt. A. B. Fry. supervis- ing engineer of federal buildings in New York. Captain Fry said the loss could not exceed s5O0OO.
 ELLIS ISLAND WRECKED
 Most of the damage at the immigration station was in wrecked walks and build ings and shattered windows and door, ways. The barges, ablaze and laden with shrapne shells, drifted to the island An explosion on one of the barges damaged thes tructure housing the power plant.
 The other fire swept craft grounded on the southwest corner of the island which contains the contagious disease hospital The medical staff removed the 450 in.- migrants on the island to the battery.
 Many small craft, as well as several good sized steamers and sailing vessels, were badly damaged. Crews on the big ocean liners anchored in the harbor or docked along the New Jersey and New York water fronts. declared that when the first two great explositions occurred. it appeared as if their vessels were liter ally picked up out of the water and then hurled back.
 5000 TELEPHONE CALLS
 All New York and cities within ra- dius of 9 miles were awakened by the explosions. Within an hour 5000 telephone calls went over the police wire from ex- cited inquiries. Hundreds of thousands of persons, many of them scantily clad, ran excitedly through the streets, while automobile, containg policemen. fireme1l and others. dashed along. Detectives were rushed to Maiden Lane, the home of the jewelry industry, to guard against thieves.
 In the downtown section countless win dows were broken. Scarcely an office building from the battery to Fiftieth street escaped damage.
 More than a score of persons, according to the police, were injured in Manhat- tan and Brooklyn by flying glass.
 Thousands of persons in Jersey City fled to the parks after the first explo. sion. Panic stricken women wheeled baby carriages about. some of them pray ing and others screaming.
 The fire on Black Tom island stil ragged tonight. The large railroad yard. of the Lehigh Valley, and the reclaimed meadow land for miles around, virtual, were covered with great piles of wreck age and countless shrapnel shells, many of which had not exploded.
 Many of the spectators carried away shrapnel shells as souvenirs In some in stances they had dug them from thu earth two or three miles away from tho scene of the explosions.

PEOPLE OF ALABAMA MUST PROVIDE FOR NEEDS OF
 STRICKEN FARMERS
Hooper of Selma Points to Distress and Apparently Hope less Situation of Many Negroes Government Aid Will
 Be Only Temporary at Best

and in many instances his household goods were washed away
 He has nothing to eat. He has no corn or fodder in the barn or grass i'll the field on which to feed his mule. He has no clothes to wear-and will have nothing to protect him from the cold Of winter
 He cannot borrow because he has nothing with which to secure the loan.
 DISTRESS WIDESPREAD
 MT. Ellis and 1 came to Washington primarily In behal fof the sufferers of Dallas county. However, we were as much interested in the sufferers of other counties as we were in those of our own sub division. We have discussed the prob- lem as a statewide problem with all the members of our delegation and as re- suit of the efficient efforts of the dele gation, we believe that Congress will eventually make an appropriation.
 "In the meantime the people Of Ala bama must rally to the standard. We have a generous people, and each year send money to China, India, Belgium, Poland and other countries in which there is distress. In the present emergency we must care for our own. It is gratifying that Governor Henderson has named a committee to receive funds and called upon the people to respond. And there IS every reason to DeDeNe lue IeSpcIsS will be liberal Committees should be named to take charge of the collection in every city of the states
 CONGRESS WILL HELP
 There is every reason to believe that Congress will respond to the cry of dis tress from Alabama. Delay has been caused on account of the fact that Con- gress cannot aid sufferers unless govern ment agents report that immediate as- sistance' Is necessary. It is only tempo rary assistance that even under most distressing circumstances the government can extend.
 Government engineers located in Ala bama have confirmed the story of star vation in Ala bama," and the delegation, with the assistance of Governor Tender son, MT. Hooper, MT. Ellis and others, has been able to make headway.
 It is probable that Congress will appro- priate a sum of money for temporary re- lief. But it is a certainty that the state of Alabama, through it's citizens, will have to attend to the permanent needs of the sufferers-will have to get them on their feet again until they are in posi- ton to help themselves.

Washington, July 22.-(SpeciaL) L)-The generous of Alabama have wonderful field-right at home-in which to labor, in the opinion of L. M. Hooper and J. B. Ellis of Selma, who are in Washing ton.
 The degree of suffering among the peo- pie of Alabama who are of the small farmer class, in their opinion, is not ap- preciated even in Alabama. Thousands of negroes, and many hundreds of white people have had their all destroyed, and as a result of the devastation of recent floods, are literally helpless, they state, in the face of starvation.
 The story told by MT Hooper to the correspondent of The Age-Herald aptly illustrates and proves the contention of the southern people that the negro him. self, was never in better circumstances and will never again be in circumstances as good-As when he was a singing slave on the plantation of his master.
 Tn the beginning" said MT. Hooper, the tide turned against the negro when the boil weevil came. As a result of the weevils prowess in destroying crops, negros borrowing power deteriorated at an alarming rate. Where formerly he could secure supplies to the& amount of $50 per mule, the best he can now get or could get-was $25 per mule. The advancing merchant, as a matter of fact, could, with justice to himself assume no greater risk.
 AS a result, the condition of the negro has not, even before the recent visita- ton, been the happest ina ginable. At the present time his condition is deplor- able. He has absolutely nothing Inas- much as he cannot produce a crop be- fore the fall of 1917, he cannot borrow a niclkle. Money advanced him on the crop of 1916 is lost beyond redemption.
 And there he is-or rather there thou sands of them and their children are It is gigantic DrOhlem

EXTRAORDINARY POLICY

''The scope and effect of the policy are extraordinary. British steamship compa- nies will not accept cargoes from the prescribed firms or persons or transport their goods to any port, and steamship lines under neutral ownership understand that if they accept freight from them they are likely to be denied coal at British ports and excluded from other privileges which they have usually en- joyed, and may themselves be put upon the blacklist. Neutral bankers refuse loans to those on the list and neutral merchants decline to contract for their goods fearing a like prescription. It ap- pears that British officials regard the prohibition of the blacklist as applicable to domestic commercial transactions in foreign countries as well as in Great Britain and her dependencies, for Ameri- cans doing business in foreign countries have been put on notice that their deal ,ings with blacklisted firms are to be re- garded as subject to- veto by the Brit ish government. By the same principle Americans in the United States might be made subject to similar punitive ac- tion if they were found dealing with any of their own countrymen whose names had thus been listed.
 '"The harsh and even disastrous effects of this policy upon the trade of the United States and upon the neutral rights upon which it will not fail to insist are obvious. Upon the list of those prescribed

 NOTE ID BRITAIN
 AS ID BLACKLIST
United States "WiIl Not Acquicsce" in Policy To-
 wards Her Citizens

Washington, July 30.-Great Britain is warned in the American note of protest against the blacklist, made public to- night by the state department, of the many serious consequences to neutral right and neutral relations which such an act must necessarily involve"
 Already in the hands of the British foreign office, the note declares fin the gravest terms that 1t is "manifestly out of the question that the government of the United States should acquisce in such methods and that the United States regards the black list as inevitably and essentially in- consistent with the rights of all the citi- zens of all the nations not involved in the war" It reminds the British govern ment that "citizens of the United States are entirely within their rights in at tempting to trade with the people or the governments of any of the nations now at war, subject to well defined interna- tional practices and understandings which vthe government of the United States deems the government of Great Britain to have too lightly and frequently dis regarded"
 The American note is even more posi- tive in it's terms than officials have intimated Ambassador Page was in- structed by Acting Secretary Polk to de- liver it formally and textually. It fol- lows:
 'The announcement that his Britannlc majesty's government has placed the names of certain persons, firms and cor porations in the United States upon prospective blacklist and has forbidden all financial or commercial dealings between them and citizens of Great Britain has been received with the most painful surprise by the people and gov ernment of the United States, and seems to the government of the United States to embody policy of arbitrary inter ference with neutral trade against which it is it's duty to protest in the most decided terms

THE FLOODS DESTROY

"The damage from the floods cannot be overestimated. In the first place, all crops on 450,0OO acres of land were to- tally ruined. In the second place, the grass in pastures on which the mule of the farmer was wont to feed, was killed under long standing water In the third place, the rising waters routed the grain with which his barn was filled. And in the fourth place, his pigs were drowned
