TRAIN LOAD WAR
HORSES COMING
SHIPPED HERE FROM ST. LOUIS
1900 MULES STILL IN THE
FEED PENS.

News was received here this morn
ing by Mr.. Blakeway. the English off,
Ger in charge of the mules for war
purposes, at this place, announcing
that train load of horses were being
shipped to Columbia from st. Louis.
The horses will be kept here awaiting
further orders Of the English govern
ment.
There are still in the concentration
yards here 1900 mules. This train
load of horses added to the supply Of
mules on hand will make about $500
animals to be fed and looked after at
this point. It is believed, however, it
is not officially given out, that there
with be a large number of horses sent
here this spring and summer on ac-
count of the splendid grazing facilities
of this county.

therefore adopted a plan whereby in
cooperation with the county they can
take active measures for the better
ment of health conditions in rural
sections; and indeed these measures
properly carried out will lower the
death rate from preventable disease
by just forty-two per cent. Is that
not a goal worth attaining?
For example, typhoid fever is the
most easily preventable of all dis
eases. and yet in Maury county last
year eighteen people died of typhoid
fever, and there were three hundred
and six other cases. This entailed a
financial loss to the county of over
eighty-five thousand dollars ($S5,000.)
And 1t can be prevented. Again, sew
enteen (17) babies under two years Of
age died of the diarrheas OF infancy,
and other preventable diseases.
THE plan under which this work is
done in a county is as follows: The
State Board of Health sends a field
director to county for a period Of
three months. This man is an exper-
fenced public health man. and has &C.
tive charge Of the work for the above
period of time. He selects three
local assistants to take charge of prac-
teal construction work in three dem.
onstration communities, or about one
hundred and twenty-five (125) homes
each.
Health surveys are made In each
district and the proper measures
taken for the sanitary betterment of
that community. Water supplies are
examined when necessary and typhoid
vaccine given to anyone in these dis.

HIGH COMPLIMENT
TO SOLDIER BOYS
DECLARES THAT TENNESSEANS
ALWAYS MAKE GOOD IN
THE ARMY.
TAKES TIME FOR PREPARATION
Volunteers Cannot Be Whipped Into
Service in Less Than Years Ser
vice, Says Experienced Officer Of the
Regular Army.


Colonel e. V. Smith, of the Sixteenth
Infantry, U. s. A., who is inspecting
all of the National and State guards
of Tennessee and portions of other
Southern States, was in Columbia
Tuesday night for the purpose Of in
specting portion of Company L, u.
S. N. G.
Col. Smith took the company and
the officers through all manner of
tests and drills, and in response to
question asked by Herald reporter,
Col. Smith turned to the large assem-
bly, that had gathered upon the streets
and sidewalks to witness the inspec-
ton and made short talk. Col.
Smith said In part:
"Citizens Of Columbia, want to call
your attention to one thing tonight and
that Is the fact that these young men
whom you have been watching drill
tonight, are not yet soldiers. / want
to impress upon you the fact that you
cannot throw a gun upon your shout
der and buckle belt around your
waist and march out and make sol
! der in the true sense of the word,
"To illustrate to you more clearly
what mean | want to call your atten-
ton to these young men who so
promptly responded to the call OF their
country last July and who have been
for the past nine months on the Dor
der, where they had the best of care,
nothing to do but drill and perfect
themselves in the methods of modern
warfare, and still they are not soldiers.
1t takes year or more to make a
good soldier, and the sooner the PEG.
pie of this nation realize this fact the
better off we will all be.
ST want to say this much for these
brave boys of Columbia and of all
Tennesseans for that matter, that they
will make soldiers and the best sol.
diers that ever wore the uniforms of
the nation. One of the greatest boons
that can befall company in the reg.
ulsr army when they are recruiting
10 to be able to boast of receiving one
or more recruits from Tennessee, and
when an officer of company, battalion
or regiment can make his boast, they
have the envy Of the other officers.
There Is something in Tennessean
that makes him soldier They are
mot only good in executing orders, but
all of them more or less are good
shots with the rifle, and especially is
this so with the men that come from
East Tennessee.
81 am highly pleased with the men
and with the officers of the company
and hope to see the company increased
70 its full war strength right here in
Columbia"
Col. Smith talked Interestingly
about Columbia and Maury county,
and expressed regret that he could
not stay over longer to see some OF
the country, stating that he had heard
40 much Of this great country through
this Middle section of Tennessee.
Col Smith left this morning for
Nashville and will go on to Clarksville,
10 inspect the remainder Of Company
L today.
