Other News of the Big Mil itary Camp and Activities
 at AnnistOn

Anniston, October S.--(Special. )--Witf the arrival of about 15o0 Delaware mer at Camp Mcclellan yesterday the units originally assigned to the camp were Il in place. The Delaware men spent busy Sunday erecting tents and getting them selves shaped up in their location neal the Jacksonville pike, just north of the construction department offices.
 They are today engaged in the usua work of building company streets polio ing the grounds and arranging for camp drainage on the outside, while in the adjutant's office number of officers and orderlies were busy with unpaclSing and arranging files and records pertain tain to the affairs of the regiment By Wednesday 1t is probable that the men will be ready to start in on the regular schedule of training prescribed for the camp.
 Maj E. c. Parks was in charge of the first section to arrive yesterday; Maj W. E. Lank in charge of the second sec ton, and Maj. l.. B. Jacobs in charge of the third section.
 As soon as the men had few min utes' spare time after their arrival yesterday, they took advantage of it to wire or write to their homes of their safe arrival in the sunny south, with the result that the telegraph off, fees and postoffice were burdened with a great deal of extra work for few hours. The men have not yet had chance to come to town and it is not likely they will be given an opportunity until Wednesday, when it is usual for the camp to have half holiday.

CALOMEL MAKES
 YOU SICK, UGH! "Dodson's Liver Tone" better than calomel and can
 not salivate

Calcmel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury: quick silver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomei attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, con- stipated and all knocked out and be- lieve you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your drug glst sells for 50 cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is en- tirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for oalo- mel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and cannot salivate.
 Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; 1t loses you a days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ems you right Up and you feel great. Give 1t to the children because 1t is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. --Adv.

AMERICAN PATROL
 VESSEL FIRES ON
 ITALIAN SUBMARINE
Failure to Recognize Estab- lished Signals Cause of Fire Which Killed Two
 Men on Submarine

Washington, October s.-vice Admiral Sims cabled the navy department today that an American patrol vessel, on duty at night in the war zone. had fired on an Italian submarine, which failed to answer recognition signals, killing one of ficer and one enlisted man.
 Secretary Daniels at once sent mes sage to the Italian ministry of marine expressing the deepest regret over the un- fortunate occurrence and rendering his and the American navy's sympathy for the loss of life.
 The navy department tonight issued this statement:
 '"The navy department has been in- formed by Vice Admiral Sims that re- gently an American patrol vessel while on patrol duty at night encountered an Italian submarine and that when the lat ter failed to answer the established rec ognition signals the patrol vessel opened fire, which resulted in the killing of one officer and one enlisted man before the identity of the submarine was estan- lished.
 .svice Admiral Sims Is thoroughly in vestigating the unfortunate occurrence and reports will be forwarded later to the department.
 "The Secretary of the Navy upon re- ceipt of the first news dispatched the following message to the Italian minister of marine.
 CT have learned with deepest regret of the unfortunate occurrence which re- suited in an American patrol vessel iir- ing, through misunderstanding, upon 4n IJai.i-n submarine, causing the death of one officer and ono enlisted man on the latter.
 AS our patrol vessels are in Eu- ropean waters primarily for the purpose of cooperating with the Italian and oth- CT allied vessels in our common cause, the unfortunate encounter is all the more regrettable Due to the recent unusual activity of enemy submarines in this region, which has resulted in the loss of several vessels, the patrol had been strictly maintained and the unfortunate fact that the patrol vessel did not obtain the recognition signals resulted in her opening fire Please accept on behalf of myself and the American navy sincere and heartfelt sympathy for the loss of life which has resulted.

PRESIDENT SIGNS !. COMMISSIONS FOR RANK 0F GENERAL Major Generals Bliss and Pershing Are Advanced
 to Grade of Full
 General

Washington, October s.-President Will for Maj. Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. army chief of staff, and Maj. Gen. John I. Pershing. commanding the American forces in France. Though both officers have equal rank, General Bliss takes precedence by virtue of his position as the directing head of the entire army or ganization.
 Congress revived the rank of general for the period of war largely In order to avoid embarrassment to General Pershiug in dealing with officers of higher rank commanding the allied armies on the western front. The new grade carries a ssalary of s10,ooo year, an increase of 5000 over the pay of a major general.
 The grade of lieutenant general also was revived by Congress the rank to be given commanders or army corps, but 1t was stated authoritatively at the war department today that there is no in- tention of creating any lieutenant gen. erals of army corps in the United States at this time as the divisional training system will be continued. An army corps under the new army organization, based on developments of trench warfare is composed of three or mored ivisions. The name of Major General Sibert was mentioned today as the most likely can- didate for the first commission as lieu tenant general when an army corps is organized in France, as he commanded the first troops sent to France.
 Besides the new commissions for Gen. erals Bliss and Pershing, the President today signed commissions of army bu- reau chiefs to be major generals and commissions for many new brigadier generals. whose nominations were con- nrmed by the Senate in the closing hours of the last session of Congress.

Beeksspsrs Can Help Win The War.

The beekeepers of Kentucky
must help in the present, food
crisis by producing more honey.
The nectar Of plants not collected
by the bees is a total loss and
that collected for honey is clear
profit. The sugar situation of
the country is becoming acute
honey must be used in its place.
The beekeepers can this year
increase the future demand for
honey by producing more than
usual. That prices will be good
is asserted by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
Control your swarming by CIV
ing plenty of room for the bees
to work. Buckwheat makes a
good fall pasture for bees, Sweet
and white clover will soon be in
blossom, and they are two of our
best honey producers Tend
your bees at once and take ad-
vantage of the opportunity of
larger yields before it is too late.

Paint And Flowers as ConServerS
of Health.

"A merry heart" said Solo
mon, "doeth like a medicine, I"
and about the greatest discovery
modern medical science has made
is that Solomon told the truth
when he said it.
We not only feel well because
we are well; we also are well be-
cause we feel we'll. Whatever
promotes cheerfulness and con-
tentment promotes good health.
The man with pleasant things to
listen to and look at, other things
being equal, will have better
health than the man who must
see and hear unpleasant things.
1t is no flight of fancy or
stretch of the imagination, there
fore, to say that the farmer who
gets the grass to growing in his
front yard; who plants shade
trees, flowers and shrubbery
who paints his house and makes
it attractive, is helping in very
real way to keep himself and his
family cheerful we'll.
Roses and honeysuckles may be
as effective health agents as fly
screens and ditching spades
Paint may do as much as disin
fectants to keep the children
merry and strong. Keeping wei
is something more than avoiding
sickness. The man whose home
surroundings are such as to make
him feel bad" every time h,
sees them cannot be expected tt
keep we'll. 1t is doubtful if HI
is ever really well.
Put on the paint this spring
and encourage the grass and thu
flowers to grow about your home
You will be both wealthier anC
healthier for it. Southern Ag

To The Public.

We wish to thank the people
of West Liberty and any visitors
who may have been present for
the splendid audiences that grac-
ed our exercises during the re-
cent commencement week OF our
school. Our auditorium proved
to be wholly inadequate to ac-
comodate the attendance at these
exercises, so that some were turn
ed away, which we very much
regretted. Of those who did
get in many were obliged to stand
for want of seats. But in spite
of these difficulties, the order and
attention were such as to merit
our sincere appreciation. and
such appreciation we heartily ten
der to the many friends of our
school for their unfailing cour-
tesy.
Also, we desire to acknowledge
our gratitude to the pastor and
congregation of the Christian
church for the kindeess and cour-
tesy which they extended to us
on the occasion of our Baccalaure-
ate service. The use of their
building and the assistance OF
their choir are matters for which
we are very grateful. We feel,
too, that we are deeply indebted
to Rev. Daniel Baldwin for the
inspiring sermon which he de-
livered for US on that day we
could not have wished a noblel
renedictjon upon our graduating
class.
Respectfully yours,
G. w. CRAFT.

Seeing With the Ears.

Science has discovered some-
thing besides the mystic sixth
sense" to help the blind. If the
new device invented by DR..
Fournier d. Albe is successful the
ear will be made to do the work
of the destroyed organs of sight.
Already sufficient success has
been achieved to demonstrate the
practical value of the appliance.
BY magnifying certain sounds
caused by light being projected
from an Illuminated disc upon Sc
lenium the ear is literally ma6e
to hear" letters. The light
form is influenced by the form
of the letters, each letter creating
a slight but perceptible variation
in the sound. These sounds,
magnifed and transmitted
through a telephone instrument,
enable the auditory reading
process" to be achieved. A
printed page placed over the
illuminated disc and passed
across it spells out in d stinctive
sound each letter against which
the light shines.
BY this expedient the Roentgen
rays can be made to impress the
significance of the letters upon
the mind of the blind individual.
In three or four days the peculi-
ar sound" alphabet can be
mastered. In a short time the
totally blind individual can read
at the rate of ~ or 30 words a
minute.
The machine is actually sew
eral years old, having been in
vented in 1912. At that time,
however, it was regarded in the
light of a curiosity and used
chiefly to demonstrate the pecu-
| ar physical properties of the
apparatus. The war, with its
thousands of blind veterans, will
make the device of incalculable
value to those who have been
deprived of their sight. 49,
/ BY means of the "optophone, u
as it is called. blind men can be
made to hear" when a shade is
lowered or a light turned on.
