lion, yet as mild and obedient as a
lamb when answering the reins, an
absolutely trustworthy steed,' were
the owners words as we concluded
our bargain. And, truth to tell,
found nothing to complain of in the
behavior of that mare until one after
noon when, riding out of the ruined

Plant City, Sept. 18.-Mr. and Mrs
Clarence Barker and little son, James
have returned home after a visit oil
six weeks in Kentucky. They accom-
panied Mr.. and Mrs. o. W. Kellis, In
a Ford car, and all had a very narrow
escape from horrible tragedy on
last Thursday afternoon, about the
supper hour, while coming down the
Cumberland mountain, near Chatta.
nooga. They had covered about two
miles on the descent with about
eight miles to go before reaching lev
ell ground, when the brakes failed to
work and the car started down the
mountain, gaining momentum at ev-
cry turn of the wheel. On one side
was a precipice that appeared to be
a thousand feet, while on the other
there was only jagged rocks. The
road was not straight--it is such as
can be picked out of mountain side.
There were several wagons ahead,
and to take chances in collision was
not pleasant to contemplate. To risk
holding the machine in the road for
eight miles, with no semblance of
brakes, was out Of the question
Something had to be done, and
quickly. Mr.. Kellis was driving
when the party faced this trying or
deal. He selected the best course,
running the car onto a boulder. It
was then running at about a thirty
mile clip, but fortunately all escaped
serious injury. Mr.. Barker, who al
ready had his right arm bandaged as !
the result of broken wrist sus-
tanned in cranking a car, suffered
new injury in that direction, and Mrs.
Barker, who, however, had climbed
onto the running board when she
realized the danger that was in store,
was painfully bruised, but no bones
were broken. Their little boy was
not injured. Mr.. and Mrs. Kellis also
escaped injury as both were thrown
clear of the car as it turned upside
down on colliding with the rock Mr.
Barker was pinned beneath the
wreck, and it was about an hour be.
fore help could be had to release him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barker finished the
Journey by rail, leaving Mr.. and Mrs.
kellls at Jasper, Tenn, but they are
expected home in a few days.
All members of the party are de.
hghted that they escaped what ap-
peared certain destruction in so easy
a manner,

THE HORSE IN WAR
Bits OF His Life Portrayed by a Blue

Behind the British Lines in France,
Sept. Ito an American visiting
the western front in these stirring
times, it is surprise and a pleasure
to note the interest and anticipation
with which the more active partici-
patton of the Americans is greeted on
every hand.
The Canadian soldiers invariably
adopt the attitude of 81 told you so"

some share in 1t.
The English Tommies are content
to express delight and satisfaction
but always as If eager to believe the

The Americans, by their unassuming
ways and insistent aggressiveness in
the line, have won the good will of
the whole Imperial British army.
When a German report came in the

down from a patrol of six American
raiders, frank incredulity was ex-
pressed everywhere. When the

was nothing in it but hard luck and
a basis for further avenging exploits.

THE CASUALTY LIST GROWS
(Florida Times-Union.)

(Florida Times-Union.)
With more than a million and a
half of our boys on the firing line
the casualty list is growing and as
Stunning proportions such as we, OF
course, expected, yet hoped against
and the splendid deeds of American
troops in Franc are overshadowed in

through the reports each day in the

of our great country is there, fighting
side by side for democracy. The lists
grow long, and yet taking into &C
count the magnificent work that has
been done, since the American army
was a reality in the war zone, the fig

1t now appears from information

compared with the wounded, has not
been nearly so high as the reports in
dicated-for the slightly wounded
were not included in the cabled lists,
and when this item is added the COM
parison is very much more satisfac-
tory Naturally smaller percentage
OF fatalities is gratifying, and while
showing more in the injured list the
additional statements regarding recov-
cry and return of eighty-one per cent
OF the wounded to the firing line is
highly pleasing.
From this 1t should not be inferred
That 10 per cent of the wounded die,
for such is not the case. In fact. the
percentage of deaths from wounds is
very small, and a considerable num-
Der, while perhaps disabled for a
length of time, and some who cannot
go back at ALL come out of the hos
pitals in fairly good shape and are
sent back home or into other war
work. The modern methods of
treating the wounded have reduced
the percentage of deaths from wounds
wonderfully since the last time Amer
lea was in a war, and the soldier who
is badly wounded has a real fighting
chance, if not perhaps a chance to
fight again.
From statements made by authori-
ties it would appear that it is now the
intention of the War Department to
send out the entire list, including the
men slightly wounded, and as some
have said, this will be a great deal
better than Withholding such infor-

Juneau Red Cross Chapter Is Allotted Definite Work Which Must
 Be Finished.
KNITTED GOODS NEEDED
Camp Lewis and Other Camps in the North west Are Calling for
 More Clothing.

Each month every Red Cross Chapter is allotted a definite amount of work, which must be finished and shipped to headquarters at the end of the month. The January allotment for Juneau Chapter is half box of underwear and half box of bed socks. The bed socks are now almost ready to pack, but the underwear must be completed before the shipment can be made.
 On Saturday afternoon suits of underwear will be ready for sew ing and all workers who can possi- bIy arrange to do so, should report at the City hall, either for work at the work rooms, or for work to be taken home for prompt completion. Only twelve days remain in which to make fifty suits of underwear, which, together with the 250 pairs of bed socks now nearing compile tion, make up the January allot- ment.
 Garments will be cut out ready TOT sewing, anu HHlsneu Hiouoio VIII be on display, as an assistance to workers who have not previously made this type of garment.
 The demands for knitted supplies are insistent, and though Juneau Chapter is responding heartily, it is the purpose of the knitting de- partment to increase the output of sweaters, socks, helmets, and other articles, and to furnish as many of these necessary supplies as the wo- men of the community can possi- bly, complete.

BUREAU FINDS THAT COCAINE WAS USED
 IN "SOFT DRINKS'

WASHINGTON-T Department of Agriculture authorizes the fol- lowing:
 Ten years ago there was no all. ment to which human flesh is heir that some maker of patent medi- cines did not claim to be able to cure with such ease that it seemed almost the height of foolishness not to part with the price of his nos trums.
 Today, because of the operation of the Federal food and drugs acts, the extravagant promises of cure that characterized the labeiing of the patent medicines of 10 years ago have practically disappeared from the preparations that enter interstate commerce.
 Misbrandings Now Corrected.
 Misbrandings, in regard to heal ing value of hundreds of alleged cancer cures, so-called 'curcs" for coughs, colds, consumption, kidney diseases, epilepsy, St. Vitus dance, and the like, have been corrected. This is told in the annual report of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, which reviews the operation of the food and drugs act in the safe- guarding of the health of the American people.
 The law requires the labels of patent medicines to declare the presence of any habit-forming drug, such as opium, cocaine ,or alcohol, thus preventing the innocent devel- opment of the drug habit. This provision of the law is particularly valuable in warning mothers against the use of so-called infant soothing syrups containing opium.
 When the act went into effect drug addiction was so prevalent that frauds in the treatment of the victims were frequent and in most instances the remedy advertised so forcefully by the labels contained the very drug from which escape was desired
 C0Calne Ill oOIC DrlnKS.
 In 1907 the Bureau of Chemistry found that 30 soft drinks contained small amounts of cocaine Practi- cally all of these were suppressed The food and drugs act is regard factor in bringing about passage of ed as having been an important the Harrison antinarcotic law, which more effectively controls habit-form- ing narcotics.
 Much has been done, the report says, to control the indiscriminate use of so-called headache remedies containing dangerous, depressing drugs, and of dangerous cosmetics making claim to healing value, and in raising the quality fthe sup ply Of crude drugs through the ex- animation of imports. As a result of cooperative work with the Post Office Department a number of fraud orders were issued by that department preventing the use of the mails in promoting the sale of fraudulent medicines.

LIBRARY MAKES REPORT ABOUT
 ITS PROGRESS
Review of the Past Shows That It is Popular and Is Accomplishing
 Good Work.

During the month of December, 1917, the Juneau Public Library took a momentous step in advance in the extension work now being carried on throughout the entire library world, namely, the establishment of a trav- cling unit to Mendenhall A strong box with lock and handles has been constructed and in this, selected books will make monthly trips out and back, so bringing the Public Lii brary into closer touch with people in isolated sections. With this be- ginning the Library will, in time, reach other districts, and, as it grows in size will extent it's influence far beyond the confines of the town.
 With the closing of the year 1917, a resume of the years Library work is at hand. The figures give encour- aging testimony to the popularity of the library for reference work as well as for fiction reading. There have been issued during 1917, S449 volumes of tfiction 2259 non-fiction books, and 526 magazines, making a total of 11,234, with a total regis tration of 1883 borrowers. New books are being purchased as ire quently as the funds of the Library will permit 655 volumes were ad- ded during this past year by gift and by purchase, bringing the total number of volumes to 2,909.
 In the bulletin of the American Library Association, issued in July last, the Juneau Public Library ranks high in comparison with li- braries of other towns of equal size. Dexter, Me, with a registration of 1,760 and 12,S31 volumes, has a circulation of 26,672 volumes for the preceding year. Gouverneur N. Y, registration, 1881, has the re- markable circulation of 22,828 with only 6217 volumes and Sewickly, Pa, with 2.651 borrowers and 13.132 volumes has a circulation of 66,572.
 Not only has the book room of the library been busy place but the Reading Room with it's 52 cur rent magazines has been a much ap- preciated place, warm, quiet, and al ways open.
