Track Heavy.

The entrants were all strong in
track work. Had the field been in
good condition, some unusual time
would have doubtless been made. AS
it was, Fonda was in the rain storm
belt of Thursday night and up to early
afternoon Friday, it was believed
impossible to hold the meet. The first
races were run on a heavy track. The
showing made, due to this, was very
good.

 The fighting spirit of the Americans in France, and the attemps of the Ger mans to terrorize the French with air raids and long distance bombardment are described In the first part of the report Mir Davison then says: One of the great missions of the Red Cross, therefore has been to attempt to up- hold the morale of the people at home We have workers all over Italy and France. carrying a message of comfort and cheer. helping especially to care for the refugees driven away from their homes to care for the chill dren and to provide for the sick and needy, particularly among the families of soldiers.

NO RELIEF IN THE SUGAR SITUATION
Food Administrator Earle Returns From Conference
 at Washington

Paul H. Earle, chairman of the Jeffer- son county food administration. has re- turned from Washington, where he weat several days ago to confer with the na tional food administration. He will go to Montgomery within the next two or three days for conference with State Food Administrator H. NJ. Hobbie with reference to the food situation in this county,
 MT. Earle, in addition to being county chairman. has been acting food admin istrator for Jefferson county since the resignation of Frank F. Spain, who is taking the officers training course at one of the eastern camps.
 There vii be no relief in the sugar situation for sometime said MT. Earle yesterday. The present acute situation is. due in part to the lack of bot toms in which to bring sugar from Cuba Porto Rico and Hawaii, but, as the United States and all the allies are de- pendent upon the crops of these islands and the United States, there is not enough if ships were available to trans port it. to increase the supply very per- ceptiblyn
 | The winter wheat crop is fine, MT. Earle said, and in two or three weeks 1 give fair estimate of the spring crop. The indications now are that the spring wheat crop yield will be large. but un- l favorable weather conditions within the
 next two or three weeks may cut it down.

MAY ERECT BARRACKS

Persistent rumor has it that par racks are to be erected at Camp sewer to replace the tents that are oelhs occupied by the soldiers, and that a contract for giant building pro- gramme will be let immediately. Asked about the matter Saturday, the camp constructing quartermaster would nei- ther confirm nor deny the rumor, say ing there was nothing to give out on that subject at present" People of Greenville are confident that Camp Sevier is to be permanent camp, and the fact that additional buildings are being erected almost weekly, leads to the belief that wooden buildings will shortly be substituted for the thousands of tents now in use.

SOUNDED LIKE A
 THUNDER STORM A Retired Ensley Business Man Claims He Could Not
 Hear His Watch Tick

It is known that a mans entire sys- tenn changes on an average of about every seven years. Every period from the babe in arms to the old man has its peculiar diseases. The child has it's infantile diseases and the man or woman in middle life, as a rule, are troubled with stomach, liver or kidney diseases.
 In all such forms as arise a deranged stomach, liver or kidneys, Plant Juice, the new herbal system tonic, has proven its worth. It is no experiment, but is a tilnc-tested remedy that has received the approval of scores of local people who have obtained results and gladly give testimonials in signed statements.
 One of the most recent is that of Mir. r. o. Potts, of 2410 I. avenue, retired business man of Ensley, who has wide acquaintance in this section of the coun- try. He stated:
 T have suffered from catarrh of the head nose and throat and deafness for years. I could not hear watch tick for the roaring noise in my ears, which sounded like big storm going on.sI had indigestion so bad that I could not keep the lightest kind of food in my stomach. My kidneys bothered me and I had ter rible pains in my back and side. I was short of breath and so nervous I could not sleep at night I had a hard lump in the pit of my stomach like lead. had tried everything in the shape of medicine. but nothing did me any good until started to take Plant Juice Now I have no more aches or pains, I sleep fine and am able to enjoy all of my < meals"
 Plant Juice cleanses, strengthens and reyitalizes the whole system. It clears the blood of posons and impurities. puts the lazy liver to work, regulates the bowels, strengthens the kidneys and tones up the digestive organs. It sharp ems the appetite and promotes sound, restful sleep.
 The Plant Juice Man is at Norton s drug store,, corner of Second avenue and Twentieth street. where he is daily meet ing the local public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy. Free samples given.-Adv.

From Secretary I.ansings Story of Hss
 Health and Energy" by Richard N. Winans in Physical Culture
 In my younger days I especially en- joyed football and tennis. but they have given place in later years to golf and fishing. I know of no more enjoyable day out of doors than one spent on {, trout stream or in a boat angling for the sniall-mouched black bass. It is d mental as well Jas physical recreation; that Is, If one really is devoted to the sport
 The real angler, absorbed in his occu- patton, finds that relaxation from the vexatious questions of life which is so necessary for the renewal of mind and body. And then. when he returns at the end of the day pleasantly tired. hun gry and invigorated by hours in the open air. there is a content of spirit which frees the mind of cares and brings re- freshing sleep
 There is nothing, I believe, which viii do more for a man who is closely con- fined to his desk. than a three or four weeks fishing trip, provided always that ne possesses measure of skill and en- Joys the pastme. To gain in full the good from such an excursion he must not merely find it agreeable but he must be enthusiastic and eager in its pur- suit
 Tt makes all the difference in the world what the mental attitude is to- ward sport. doubt very much if there is any positive benefit from sport n which one engages as a duty. rather than as pleasure. I do not purport tf be specialist on this subject. but do know my own feelings and the sense of benefit which is derived from a recreation which is genuinely enjoyed,
