SOLDIER BOYS In TOWN
THIRD MINNESOTA REGIMENT
RETURNING FROM MEXICO.

i Uncle Sans militia boys, dressed in
the familiar army khaki, filed the
downtown streets this morning. The
j Third regiment of Infantry of the
Minnesota National Guard, passed
through Oskaloosa to-day, returning
TO Fort Smelling, Mimi, after sever
al months stay near Mercedes, Texas,
along the Mexican border. The M. e.
st. L. troop trains transported the
Minnesota soldier boys home. The
' first train arrived in town about eight
fifteen this morning and remained
here several hours, and the second
train pulled in the city &c two o'clock
this afternoon.
DO you know the Iowa boys?" The
should say so. In the last maneuvers
the regiments located near Mercedes,
staged battle with the combined
regiments at Brownsville. We fought
against the Iowa troops frequently. In
the grand review, when thirty thous-
and men passed before the Generals
in charge of the border maneuvers, we
marched with the Iowa companies"
The Minnesota lads are fine look
ing bunch of fellows. Straight and
soldierly and as hardy looking, as any
army regulars ever could be. Several
months training under officials of the
regular army, has turned Uncle Sans
reserve force into a we'll organized
and perfectly drilled military body.
Many of the Minnesota boys were
high school students or college men,
who had joined the colors in the sum-
mer and went south with their COM
panions. Several of the boys express
ed the opinion. that they never felt
better in their lives. The first few
weeks of border life was almost equal
to what Sherman said of war, but al
ter that the softness wore off, border
life became enjoyable and the men
were given opportunity to develop
strong, physically.
Mascots galore made their appear
ance at the station. Dogs, parrots,
snakes and toads were among the
companies treasures. A baby rattle
snake, with it's fangs removed was the
pride of the Rochester company.
All the Minnesota men were we'll
equipped. The boys stated although
sighted while at Fort Smelling, Uncle
came to the rescue of his militia men.
and provided complete and adequate
equipment for each man while on the
border. Winter army coats have just
been issued and many men were sport
ing overcoats for the first time this
morning.
One lieutenant let the word be
known that Iowa militia men- were to
return home the first of the year.

MEMS BIBLE CLASS
OFFICERS ELECTED AT BANQUET
MONDAY NIGHT.

On Tuesday evening in the social
rooms Of the Central NJ. e. church,
the men of the Mems Bible class to-
gether with the members of the Sun
day school orchestra, enjoyed a
goodly feast together. In all some
fifty-two plates were placed on two
long tables and the provisions were
ample for all needs. The event was
the annual election of the class Off
GERS and after the supper the BUSH
ness session was called to order by
President Fred A. Bell.
In the annual report of Secretary
John Hilliard the following interest
ing facts we're cleaned: Glass enroll
ment, rs. The gain of new members
and those lost by removal are about
equal, so that the membership is the
same as year ago. Since January
1, 1916, $66.76 has been given to the
Sunday school and $28.91 added to
the class fund. $15.S9 is now on
hand. f13S visitors have attended
the class sessions during the year
and $76.S9 is now in the missionary
fund.
In the election, w. A. Brady was
chosen as president; H. r. Goodwin
vice president; John billiard, secre-
tary-treasurer; Howard Coleman,
assistant secretary; l.. d. Gosselink,
missionary treasurer; John Tenant,
teacher, and James Madison, associ-
ate teacher. During the balloting
j A. +. Dewitt and Mark Norman
served as tellers.
These social occasions are to be
held quarterly instead OF monthly, as
it seems to be difficult to secure a
satisfactory evening for all.
| After the completion of the vote
DIR. l.. M. Grigsby and Superintendent
0. e. Schmidt each made vigorous
talks regarding the special needs and
defects OF the Sunday school and
how conditions can be improved.

PUT STOMACH IN
fine CONDITION
SAYS INDIGESTION RESULTS FROM
AN EXCESS OF HYDROCHLORIC
ACID.

Undigested food delayed in the
stomach decays, or rather ferments, the
same as food left in the open air, says
noted authority. He also tells us that
Indigestion is caused by Hyper~acidity
meaning there is an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach which pre-
vents complete digestion and starts
food fermentation. Thus everything
eaten sours in the stomach, much like
garbage sours in can, forming acrid
fluids and gases which initiate the stom-
ach like toy balloon. Then we feel
heavy, lumpy misery in the chest. we
belch up gas, we eructate sour food or
have heartburn, fiatulence, water
brash or nausea.
He tells us to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar-
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and take
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast and drink while it is ef.
fervescing and furthermore, to con-
t,nue this for a week. While relief
follows the first dose, it is important
to neutralize the acidity, remove the
gas-making mass, start the liver, slim
ulate the kidneys and thus promote a
free flow of pure digestive juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with lithia and sodium
phosphate This harmless salts is
used by'thousands of people for stom-
ach trouble with excellent results.

WHERE YOU HELP.

1t is announced by County Demon
Strator J. G. Oliver that the proposed
plan for furnishing large number of
pigs to Sumter county boys for raising
along the lines as advanced by com
peteHt authorities is suffering because
OF the lack of several pigs.
The plans for mammoth day of
pleasure and instruction have been an
nounced. The boys pig club will meet
here, and not least-the girls of the
county interested in their home eco
romic work.
But Mr. Oliver states that the club is
in need of several pigs in order to
carry on its work The boys are anx-
icus to perform this service which will
certainly result in much benefit to the
county and the boys.
The plans for furnishing the pigs
have been announced, and frequently
information has been published along
these lines. The public should be fully
acquainted with the pig idea.
The Times-Recorder requests the
people of the county who are able to
donate one or more pigs to communi~
cate with Mr.. Oliver. He will ex
plain the features of the pig club TO
you, and the boys will appreciate your
interest and service.
Give pig-help yourself and the flu
ture backbone of the nation.

WOULD PLANT FLOWERS
ALONG DIXIE HIGHWAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 23.-.
Both wings of the Dixie Highway be-
tween Chattanooga and Atlanta are to
he beautified by the cultivation of
spring, summer and autumn flowers
along both sides of the roadway. The
idea Of thus adding to the beauty OF
the highway originated with Con-
gresham Gordon Lee, of the Seventh
Georgia district, who will supply the
flower seed and generally direct the
work along the roadway. Mr.. Lee has
secured estimates as to the number Of
seed that will be required, and has
made arrangements to supply 1900
packages.
1T is my idea to have the flowers
planted and cultivated under the i'm
mediate directions of ladies' organiza-
tions in the various cities and towns
aicng the highway" said Mr.. Lee. 81
am taking up the matter with ladies
at Chickamauga, Rome, Ringold Car
tersville, Calhoun, Dalton, Kingston,
Marietta and other places. l am en-
Outraged to believe the plan will be
a success. The ladies are taking an
eaernest interest in the project"
Mr.. Lee recently visited California.
and there conceived the idea of plant
ing flowers along both routes of the
Dixie Highway. Many of the roads in
southern California are beautified by
flower beds distributed at intervals on
either side. The Georgia congressman
made inquiry and was convinced that
the soil and climatic conditions IN
Georgia are such as to make a similar
innovation possible along the Dixie
Highway.
