Lack OF Artillery Ranges AT
Camp Sheridan Given
AS Cause
UNOFFICIAL REPORT
BELIEVED BY MEN
Corporal Markin Writes That
Days Are Hot And
Nights Cold

That there is a possibility that E
Battery and other units of artillery
now at Camp Sherman may be moved
from Alabama to a training camp in
Oklahoma is indicated in a letter re-
ceiyed by friends in this city from
Corporal Markin, now with ID Battery.
Corporal Markin says that this rumor
is current in the camp and it is be-
lieved the shift will be made owing to
the fact that there are no artillery
ranges at Camp Sheridan.
Corporal Markin says the nights are
so cold that he and Mike Pugh put
their cots together and put Brownie, "
the mascot, between them, but even
then their teeth chattered like a
Chevrolet hitting on all four with the
Cut-Out open"
These living in Corporal Markin's s
house are: Sergt. Davis, Tony Ros-
81, Sammy Gullace, j. Macrini A. Dur
bin, Bumpus, Pugh and Il. Frantz.
He reports hold-up prices for every
thing, citing that Camel cigarettes are
% cents the pack.

"THE TEACHINGS OF SCIENCE
ABOUT ALCOHOL"

Science teaches us that alcohol Is
extremely injurious to all the tissues
of the body. 1t causes untold suffer

hibit the manufacturing and sale Of
intoxicating liquors. Sir Henry Thomp-
son, NJ. d., says: 81 find alcohol to be
an agent that gives no strength, that
reduces the tone of the blood vessels
and heart, that reduces the nervouS
power, builds up no tissue and can be
of no use to me or any other animal as
substance for food"
Lionel S. Beale, NJ. D., professor Of
principles and practice Of medicine,
Kings college, England, says: "Alco-
hol does not act as food; ii cuts

or causes them to grow more slowly"

For six long weeks Congress was blocked
in the passage OF the food control bill BY the
insistence OF the powerful prohibition lobby
that nationwide prohibition be included in
the measure.
How and why this lobby finally desisted,
was told by the Rev. Perey A. Baker, pres

signed statement published on the front
page of the American Issue" official dry
organ, July 6, 1917. His first paragraph
was, in part, as follows:

A model to which you can pin your
faith, If you are contemplating new
riding habit, is pictured here. 1t is
made in one Of the new weaves that
have been so much promoted for sports
wear, but probably as good a choice
as can be made for practical service
is covert cloth. A dark tan color In
this material, cut on the same lines
as those of the habit shown here, will
furnish its owner with the best of
style. She can wear 1t with the assur-
ance that 1t is correct
The coat is cut on the trimmest Of
lines and is as severe as the art Of
the tailor can make 1t. In some Of
the new habits coats are very little
longer than in this conservative
model. But this is matter Of per-
sonal taste, and a difference Of an
inch and half perhaps covers the
latitude of choice. The waistlines are
very long and the skirt moderately
full.
The hat is less stiff than the regula-
ton hat for riding, but has not dis
placed its rigid predecessors. Like
the material In the habit It is a new
