sas football players at the Went

co. Il COMING BACK?
MEN HAVE NO WINTER CLOTH
ING OTHER THAN OVERCOATS.
Word Given Men at Doniphan That
They Will Either Be Sent Home
or Sent South Where 1t Is
Little Warmer.

Letters received here from mem
J bers of Co. H state that the company
is to be moved from Camp Doniphan
soon. Roy Romberger says that the
company has ben issued no winter
clothing other than the overcoats.
The summer suits, which were issued
| to the men here, are about worn out
and it is impossible to keep warm.
The information given out by mem
bers of the company states that it
is very probable that the company
will be sent back here for sixty days
and the soldiers allowed to go home
at night in order to keep warm. The
only other information is that the
company will be sent south.
Orders for winter clohting can not
be filled, as the manufacturers now
are swamped with orders. The only
method of keeping clean at Camp
Doniphan is cold shower bath in
building where the wind whistles
thru the cracks. In all, 1t a very
uncomfortable place for winter
There are only few men in the
hospital now, and 1t is probable the
company will be out of quarantine
soon. The sixty days in Abilene
would seem mighty nice to Co. H, you

HORSES GOT BEST CABINS.
Italian Reselvists Took Steerage on
Ocean Liner.

Ocean Liner.
An excited crowd of women, man!
of them weeping, stormed Pier b.
Jersey City, recently in an effort to
restrain their sons and husbands, re-
seryists in the Italian army, from
sailing on the transatlantic Italian
liner Dante Alighierl. They engag-
ed the good offices of Jersey City
detectives on the pier to supplement
their opportunities and out OF the
1000 or more men intending to take
passage probably 80 turned back.
Once on board, the reservlsts
found that 1900 head of horses had
been allotted the best quarters. The
first and second cabins had been con-
verted into stalls, while the steerage
had been given to the prospective
soldiers.
The exodus was in response TO a
recent call of the Italian government.

AN EASY WAY TO REDUCE
FLESH.
Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco.

f1OG "otC1 eAAAo AS~A>N
Haven't you often wished for
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
thing that does not require dieting or
calisthenics? Well, right here you
have it in 5-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at Mack's Drug
Store, Bamberg, S. c., or Peoples
Pharmacy, Denmark, S. c. They are
pleasant to take, perfectly harmless
and cause no restrictions of habit or
eating, and reduce the flesh, little by
little until you are down to the num-
ber of pounds you wish to weigh.
Too much flesh is undesirable, as
most quite stout people will readily
admit, and it detracts from one S
good appearance; makes one clumsy
and short of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at Mack's Drug Store, and
Peoples Pharmacy. Tassco taplets
(don't forget the name) are recon-
mended by physicians and are guar
anteed to be perfectly harmless. Re-
fuse substitutes. if you can not come
TO our store, we will mail tassco to
YOU.

ROSES FOR MISS RANKIN.
ALI the Republican Congressman Now
Wear BOutOnniereS.

Bouttonnieres of red roses have be-
come the prevailing style on the Re-
publican side of the house of repre-
sentatives since Miss jeanette Ran
kin became a member. The second
day of Miss Rankin's membership
found Republicans adorned in a
fashion that indicated rare pro-
gressiveness of mind.
Even the most confirmed stand
patters have yield to the impulse to
adorn themselves. The flowers prove
immensely effective by enhancing the
general appearance of the Repuoll-
cans. Miss Rankin, who, yesterday
carried yellow roses, today held IN
her hand throughout the session a
long stemmed pink rose, which she
played with while talking house busl-
ness and greeting new acquaintance.
No other new member of congress
ever got acquainted so quickly.
Miss Rankin has been so busy that
she has visited her Office but four
times since reaching Washington.
The first two were Sunday afternoon
and night. She was there yesterday
q few minutes before congress met
but was unable to return until late
+b;e q r. tornoOn
Her office has>been rearranged oy
the erection of veritable barrlcade
between the front door and her desk
Desks and book cases were utilized
for this purpose. The congressWoman
now can have privacy while visitors
wait in a small ante room.
No member of congress was ever
besieged for photographs by persons
in every section of the country as
Miss Rankin has been the past TWO
DAYS. Every mail brings in new re-
quests for picture with a signature.
The high cost OF popularity is IN EVIL
dence. Miss Rankin will try to sup
ply every demand for photographs.-

AUSTRIA NOW AMERICAS FOE.
Vienna Sewers Diplomatic Relations.
Sides With Germany.

Washington, April 9.-Austria-
Hungary. ranging herself unreserved-
ly with Germany, has severed diplo-
matte relations with the United
States, precipitating situation
which generally is expected here to
lead to war.
Baron Erich Zwidinek, the Aus
trian charge, asked the State depart
ment today for passports for HIM
self. his staff and the Austrian con-
sular force in this country; and 81
multaneously American Minister Sto-
vail reported from Berne that Aus
tria had announced the break in re-
lations to the American embassy in
Vienna yesterday.
Immediately the treasury depart
ment ordered the seizure Of all Aus
trian merchant ships i'm American
harbors. The Austrian crews were
taken off and sent to immigration
stations and American guards put on
board. The measure was explained
as purely one of police caution, but
it is realized that it may be inter-
preted by Austria as an act of war.
In a similar situation after the break
with Germany no ships were seized
until a state of war actually had been
declared.
Whether Bulgaria and Turkey are
preparing to follow suit is unknown,
but officials generally believe that
sooner or later they will do so. Tele-
grams prepared week ago in antlcl-
patton of today's developments have
been sent to American diplomatic
and consular officials abroad instruct
ing them to wind up their conduct
of entente interests in Austria and
of Austrian interests in entente coun-
tries. Spain will take over Amerl-
can interests in Austria and Sweden
will assume Austrian interests here.

ABOUT TUBERCULOSIS.
It Works In Different Ways on Different
Parts of the Body.

No country, no race, no sex, no color
is immune to tuberculosis. Similarly
no tissue, no member, no portion of
the human body Is immune TO it's in
roads. The catholicity of the disease,
both as to people and tissues brings
about strange results.
tuberculosis of bone or joint is
very different IN its manifests tIons
from tuberculosis of the lungs, the
skin or the brain.
When some of the internal organs
are attacked the consequences are even
at wider variance from the commonly
conceived picture of the devastatlons
of that minute vegetable, the tubercle
bacillus.
Thomas Addison, sprung from the
English yoemanry OF Cumberland, ply
siclan, teacher, student and diagnostIc
genus, carried on series of observa
tions for years before he found that
tuberculosis was often at the root of
the disease which now bears his name.
Addlson's disease. generally caused
by tuberculosis of those little organs
which lie just above the kidneys, is
marked by extreme prostration, blood
lessness, market bronzIng CT the skin,
and death. There may be other symp-
toms but the weakness. anaemia and
SKIN Fermentation are the most pron,-
nent.
The logged determination which
marked Addison's attempt to track a
disease to its original source IS the ruI-
ing spirit of Goth century medicine.
No half-discovered fact will satisfy
the modern investigator. The ultimate
object IS sought in It's entirety by an
industry of search, a correlation of
scientifically deducted facts and con.
of effort. Addison was born
n April, 1893. and died of brain dis
'ase. June 20, 1860. Public Health
