Patent medicines are worse than

be relied upon in this extremity is the
rule which comes to us. from Surgeon
General Rupert Blue of the Unfteo

specifically directs that only such
medicines should be given as are pre-

Washington, Oct. 15.-It is of prime
significance that the president will re-
ply separately to Austria-H Hungary. In
thus response. it is held likely he will
continue his diplomatic thanking oper-
atoms, designed to cut off this ally of
Germany.
Austria Hungary's acceptance of the
law" as laid down by President Will
son January s, means virtual dismem-
berment of the Austro- Hungarian en-
piEA by the creation of two nations
that of Bohemia. Moravia and Slo-
vakia in the north and Jugo STAY
nations in the south
This would dispose of most of AUS
tria, except a German populated por-
ton next to Germany. Hungary
would be cut off by herself, thru grant
of autonomy. With an independent
Polish state, with Belgium restored
and independent. the western Russia
evacuated by the Germans, with the
Czecho-Slovak and Jugo-Slav states
established, Germany would be sur
rounded on every side by organized
peoples.

State Director Crawford Johnson has sent out requests to county chairmen
 to hurry up their reports of the results
 of the War Savings drive in their coun- ties two weeks ago. These reports have
 been slow coming in. but the tardiness ] is explained by the fact that in many of the counties the limited time did not permit of a thorough canvas and it was continued into the following week. The 1 few reports coming in are very encour- aging, and when the final totals are favorable.
 1 r. F. Raiford of Selma, field agent, was here yesterday, He stated that while Dallas county did not raise her quota, yet tehre wos a wide distribu- 1 tion of War Savings Stamps through out the county. The county committee adopted an indeXing system whereby the condition of every pledge can be quickly ascertained. Mir.
