EXPLOSION OF TORPEDO
KILLS THIRTY-FVE
Victims Were Members of Crew OF
the Army Transport Mount
Vernon.

Washington, Sept. 9. - Thirty-five
members of the crew of the American
army transport Mount Vernon, former

prinzessin Cecilie, were killed by the
explosion of torpedo which struck
the vessel last Thursday when she
was 200amiles from the French coast,
homeward bound. The passengers in

Illinois, who was among those safely

to a French port under her own steam.
Vice Admiral Sims reported to the
Navy department that the torpedo

NO WASTE IN ARMY CAMPS
Conservation and Reclamation DiVi-
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
of All Materials.

One of the most fnSidiOus pieces OF
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears I'm the
form Of run1ors concerning excessive
wastes of all foodstuffs and supplies
in our army camps and cantonments-
A glance at the work of the conServa-
tfOn and reclamation division Of the
army readily establishes the falsity
Of these reports.
The aim of the conservation ana
reclamation division is to obtain the
maximum utilization Of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste OF
these materials to minimum, to de-
stroy nothing, and to dispose of all ma
terfa1 useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers appetftes, but the highest care
is exerted to prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
in other words, much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness is now saved. The reclama-
ton officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantonment are re-
sponsib1e for the separating and the
classifying Of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving of every
meal at the mess; the object of this
careful separation and classification
Of kitchen waste is to prevent vast
age.
The division also has active charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantOnment. The prod
uce raised is used in rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men fit for active duty are re-
ouired to assist in this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has a much more efficient
plan, for he has this work done by in
termed aliens, enemy prisoners, con-
scientious DIRECTORS and military pris-
Oners. OF our own enlisted men only
those physically unsuited for service
overseas or partially disabled are as
signed to this agricultural work. 1t is
believed that after a few months OF
outdoor work, many Of the men now
unfit will so improve physically that
they will become fit for transfer to
| fighting units. Thus the army will
reclaim men as we'll as materials and
supplies.
The boys at the front and at camps
and environments In this country also
! are setting a standard in conservation
| and reclamation which is magnificent
They are doing their utmost to see
that every penny invested in the cause
OF democracy, through Liberty, Bonds
| and otherwise. is utilized efficiently.

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

Tor centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys or other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not "patent medicine" nor
"Eew discovery" For 200 years they

| have been standard household remedy.
They are the pure, original imported Haar-
lem Oil your great-grandmother used, and
are perfectly harmless. The healing, sooth-
ing oil soaks into the cells and lining of
the kidneys and through the bladder, driv-
ing out the poisonous germs. New life,
fresh strength and health will come as you
continue the treatment. When complete
ly restored to your usual vigor, continue
taking capsule or two each day; they will
keep you in condition and prevent re-
turn of the disease.
Do not, delay minute. Delays are es-
pecially dangerous in kidney and bladder
trouble Ali druggists sell GOLD MEDAL
HARLEM Oil Capsules. They will refund
the money if not as represented. GOLD
MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are inn

New York, Sept. 9.-"Out of work"
was the plea of large number of
actors and actresses summoned be-
fore the internal revenue collector here

clared they did not know how to fig

fessed complete ignorance Of the law

scales, and number of those sum-
,moned were assessed SO per cent

FRENCH MOTHERS KEEP
FLOWERS ON GRAVES
Women Decorate Resting Places OF
Yankees Who Die in Paris
HOSPITALS

Paris, Sept. 9.-Upon the Eastern
slope of Mount Valcrian are buried
ESQ Americans who have died in Paris
hospitals.
Not content with acting as God,
mothers to the American soldiers who
have returned to Paris on furloughs,
French mothers, whose sons have died
that liberty might live, have adopted
the boys from the United States even
in death. To each little cross on
Mount Valerian there is pinned a card
showing that some woman has vowed
the grave shall never be without a
wreath or vale of flowers. Some OF
the floral pieces are of elaborate work
manship.

ing his money on loud clothes and
other luxuries to such an extent that
he seldom had cent to apply to any
worthy cause, such as the care of his
family or the upkeep of the church.
AS a result of Hebers regularity In
blacksiding, therefore, for q dozen
years or more the church folks never
baptized him. They just sort Of let
him slide along, and, when immersion
day finally arrived he usually was
out behind his trotting horse, at
cock fight, or at some other place
scarcely fitted for converts.
Finally, though, the church authori-
ties got tired of Heber's professions
of faith and their subsequent flatten-
ing out, and when the next revival
started, along in the spring, and he
began to show signs of interest, they
advised him that his confession would
be received only with the understand
ing that immersion should follow i'm
mediately. He thought the matter
over for three days and then agreed
to join that night and be baptized
without delay. And, sure enough, he
arrived bright and early, and, when
the going got good he joined up for
the thirteenth time.
Baptized Him in a Flood.
Unfortunately, just as the meeting
started, a terrific storm arose and the
subsequent cloudburst flooded the
country, Coal Creek, where the baptiZ-
ing was to take place, being particu-
larly swollen. This situation made
the baptizing somewhat dangerous
but the authorities agreed that it was
their only chance to get Heber, so,
after church, with the repentant sin
ner in tow, and armed with lanterns,
they filed down to the creek for the
baptizing.
Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped
the officiating pastors hands, some
saying he wriggled out and others
maintaining that ne slipped, but any
how, he disappeared in the darkpeas.
Daylight found him perched in
sycamore tree, a mile down the creek,
in the center of a whirlpool that was
worth a mans life to attempt to in
wade. Hence, we had to leave him up
the tree for three days until the water
receded.
Why lie Vowed Sacrifices.
When the rescuing party finally ar
rived at the base OF the tree, it was
surprised to find Heber raining down
plug tobacco, drinking liquor, dice,
stickpins, fancy rings and other trink-
cts on which he had squandered his
money, and declaring loudly that there
was no sacrifice he would not make in
the future for the good of the church
and the protection of his soul. Nor
die he descend until he had stripped
himself of everything that he could
reasonably spare and little bit more.
"Well, Heber," Bill Boggs, the post
master said, after shaking hands with
him, 81 certainly was impressed with
your spirit of sacrifice. Why was 1t
that you never did that beforeP'
''Why, thunderation, man!' Heber
exploded, ~ never was up tree like
that before"
And there you are. When before
were we, as patriotic citizens, up a
tree as we are this year?
