A world shortage of food supplies
has started an investigation by scien-
lists as to the amount of food neces-
sary to support life. These investi-
gators have determined the fact that
the amount of food necessary for
one individual may be entirely in
adequate for another. This is due
to the fact that it isn't what you eat
that supports you but what you di-
gest. Seventy-fve per cent of the
people examined had some sort of
stomach trouble. Ninety-five per
cent. of these could be remedied by
proper treatment. Neglected, they
will in time join the other five per
cent. of incurables. The answer? See

BOYS
HARD AT WORK
Camp Sam Keesler Scene of Much
Activity-Men Standing Up to
Work Fine.

The boys of Battery C are fast gett-
ing accustomed to camp life and feel
at home at Camp Sam Keesler. The
camp is every day becoming more like
a military camp and the officers and
men more used to tn eroutine of camp
life.
First Sergeant Gill, the man who
probably has the hardest job in the
Battery to fill, is actively engaged in
getting things lined out and this morn
ing was working on his camp reports.
While several fell out yesterday dur
ing drill and others probably will fall
out during the week from the heat the
majority of the men stood the first
two days in camp like seasoned sol
diers. Doctor Barrier yesterday aft
ernoon "doctored" the entire Battery
and many of the men given "P
and S" and every member of the unit
one or the other. The letters stand
for pills and salts" The pills were
administered last night and the saltz
this morning.
As a result Of the efforts Of the
Red Cross Chapter plenty Of vege.
tables have been on hand for the boys
and there has been no complaint. g.
Very few of the men in the Battery
have eve had any experience in mil
itary affairs but the way the fellows
take to the life shows the spirit Of
the volunteer. Those who joined the
Battery did so with a desire to helI
their Country and that same spirit is
manifested in their desire to become
efficient soldiers.

DELOACH-JOHNSON.

A very quiet and simple home we'd
ding was solemnized this morning at
the residence of the brides mother,
Mrs. S. NJ. DeLoach at ten O'Clock,
when Miss Jennie DeLoach was given
in marriage to DR.. w. T. Johnson
Rev. E. S. Lewis, of Oxford, brother
in-law of the bride, performing the
impressive ceremony.
The home was beautifully decorat-
ed in white and green perriwinkle and
ferns being effectively used.
Only the immediate families of the
contracting parties witnessed the we'd
ding.
Immediately after the ceremony the
happy couple left for the mountains
of North Carolina to spend a few
weeks.
The fair and accomplished bride is
the accomplished daughter of Mrs. S.
NJ. DeLoach and is quite a favorite in
Greenwood. DR.. Johnson is a prom
inent citizen and extensive planter,
and is esteemed by all of our people.
Their many friends wish for them
%unalloyed happiness.
While the wedding was a very quiet
home affair, and the day not really
known when this union would take
place, quite a large number of we'd
ding presents were sent them, thus
attesting the popularity and esteem
in which both are held in our city.
