How Military Stores on Mexican

ders and serious look, for business 10
always rushing with Capt. Fred Fee
llx, Uncle Sans junk man In the cav
airy division here, writes the Fort
Bliss CTex.) correspondent Of the New
York Sun.
As head of the salvage and reclama-
ton department Of the general quar-
termaster depot here, Captain Felix
and his force of enlisted men are re-
pairing and salva:ing supplies which
have been discarded by the United
States army In the border district.
Three warehouses, part Of the fort
machine shops, and ltig yard down
town, are used for this work.
Tents which have been torn by the
winds are repaired by men who have
been sailors or who have experience
in repairing canvas. Canvas cot COW
ers which have been torn are cut up
into small pieces and made into cloth
ing bags. These cot covers were for
merly discarded. A tailor shop has
been established where worn and torn
uniforms are repaired, buttons sewn
on, the uniforms steam cleaned and
pressed and returned to the owners.
Army shoes which have been worn
by many marches over the desert
sands near the fort are half-soled by
machinery, ripped places stitched, new
laces inserted and the shoes sent back
for further wear. Not a scrap Of
leather is permitted to be wasted by
the reclamation and salvage depart
ment. Shoes too badly worn to be
repaired, and cavalry boots, are rip
ped to pieces and the leather used fol
repairing other boots and shoes. The
scraps are then sent to market for use
in the manufacture Of composition
betting.
Recently 15 meat grinders for pre-
pairing meat for cooking were con
demned and sent to the reclamation
department to be sold for junk. In
stead, the parts were separated, reas
sembled and five good grinders obtain
ed, while the remaining parts wer'
stored for repairing other grinders
Broken parts were sold for junk.
Wagons, automobiles, tank wagons
soup kitchens and every other kind O.
field equipment is received by this de
partment. Wagonmakers replace worl
parts of transport and ammunition
wagons with new ones. All automo
bile parts are classified and crew o
garage men repair the cars as the.
come to the shops. Even tracks TO
caterpillar trucks are kept for repair
ing those big trucks which haul sup
plies over the desert.
Broken spurs, ragged guidons ant
flags, eyelets from wornout puttees
harness, saddles, the ropes and evel
"bull whips" used by the army mul
drivers are salvaged in Uncle Sam

HOW TO FIGHT
SPANISH INFLUENZA
BY DR.. L. w. Bowers.

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards,
but fear neither germs nor Germans !!
Keep the system in good order, take
plenty of exercise in the fresh air
and practice cleanliness. Remember
a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean
bowels are a protecting armour
against disease. To keep the liver
and bowels regular and to carry away
the poisons within, it is best to take
vegetable pill every other day,
made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap,
and sugar-coated, to be had at most
drug stores, known as DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. If there is sud-
den onset of what appears like a
hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap
warm, take hot mustard foot-bath
and drink copiously of hot lemonade.
If pain develops in head or back, ask
the druggist for Anuric (anti-uric)
tablets. These will flush the bladder
and kidneys and carry off poisonous
germs. To control the pains and
aches take one Anuric tablet every
two hours, with frequent drinks of
lemonade. The pneumonia appears
in a most treacherous way, when the
influenza victim is apparently recov-
ering an anxious to leave his bed.
In recovering from a bad attack of
influenza or pneumonia the system
should be built up with a good herbal
tonic, such as DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, made without al
cohol from the roots and barks OF
American forest trees, or his Irontic
(iron tonic) tablets, which can be
obtained at most drug stores, or send
1oc to DR.. pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. T., for trial package.

Washington supplied some incentive
