TERRELL BOY in
NAVY Is PROMOTED
MACK M'NEIL, OF\PARRoTT, RE.
WARDED FOR EFFICIENT
SERVICE. is WELL KNOWN

Mack Mcneil, formerly of Parrot,
and whose parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.
w. Mcneil, are old residents of Ter
rell county, has been promoted to
sergeant in the United States marine
corps This information has been re-
ceived by relatives and friends.
Sergeant Mcneil enlisted in the
marine corps on April 8, 1914, and
for his efficient services was promot-
ed to corporal a few months ago.
When the nation was plunged into
war the need of competent men for
non-commissioned officers gave Nc
Neil another opportunity for promo
ton, and he passed the second exam
/ lnation and now wears a sergeant's
three chevrons on his sleeves.
The marine corps is the most inter-
esting branch of all Uncle Sans mill
itary machinery. Wherever there is
fighting to be done these soldiers of
the sea" are found. They are the
first to land, and always BEGIN the
! HgnC. Al PeKlng, at vera CrJz, and
in fact everywhere the stars and
stripes have been planted it was the
marines who drove the wedge, to be
followed by the larger branches of
the service-the army and the navy.
The marine corps is small as com
pared to the army and navy, but
each man is picked man, and each
that is thorough and intensive before
becoming a full-fedged marine.
Marines are already on French
soil, and although not officially con-
firmed it has been reported that they
were the ''first to land" as usual, of
all Pershing's forces.
Friends will be happy to know that
a PARROT boy is doing his "bit' in
the world effort to preserve democra-
cy.

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing touic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

The president realized that the first
great battle for us in this war is to be
fought on American soil and that any
weakening on our part would only give
encouragement to our enemies. It was
because the Boy Scouts are "for God

fully expected them to rise up in their
might and deliver a telling blow.
How to reach the common people
that was the big question. There
