WHAT TO use TO
PREVENT APPENDICITIS

Barton people should know simple
buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc, as
mixed in Adler-i-ka, flushes the EN-
TIRE bowel tract so completely that

SPOONFUL Adler-i-ka relieves ANY
CASE sour stomach, gas or constipa-
ton because it removes ALL foul
matter which clogged and poisoned
your system. The INSTANT action
surprises both doctors and patients.

SPANISH INFLUENZA
Do Not Fear When Fighting a
German or a Germl
BY DR.. NJ. COOK.

The cool fighter always wins and SO
there is no need to become panic
stricken. Avoid fear and crowds. Ex-
ercise in the fresh air and practice the
three C's: A Clean Mouth, a Clean
Skin and Clean Bowels. To carry off
the poisons that accumulate within the
body and to ward off an attack of the
influenza bacillus, take a good liver
regulator to move the bowels. Such a
one is made up of May-apple, leaves of
aloe, root of jalap, and is to be had
at any drug store, and called "Plsasant
Purgative Pellets"
If bad cold develops, go to bed, wrap
up we'll, drink freely of hot lemonade
and take a hot mustard foot bath.
Have the bedroom warm but well ven
tilated. Obtain at the nearest drug
store "Anuric Tablets" to flush the
kidneys and control the pains and
aches. Take an vAnuric" tablet every
two hours, together with copious drinks
of lemonade. If a true case Of infiu-
enza, the food should be simple, such as
broths, milk, buttermilk end ice-cream;
but it is important that food be given
regularly in order to keep up patients
strength and vitality. After the acute
attack has passed, which is generally
from three to seven days, the system
should be built up by the use of good
iron tonic, such as "Irontic" tablets, to
be obtained at some drug stores, or
that well known blood maker and
herbal tonic made from roots and
barks of forest trees-sold everywhere as
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

HUMAN BEAN POLE"
IS GIRL AGED EIGHT
is SIX FEET TALL AND WEIGHS
70 POUNDS. WILL BE NINE
FEET HIGH WHEN SIXTEEN.

MAYBANK, Texas.-Mrytle Mar
gold, 8-yeal-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. 2. Margold, of this place, is
undoubtedly the "human bean pole"
if there is such a person living. Myr-
tie is 6 feet tall and weighs 78
pounds. She measures 16 inches
around the waist, while her bust
measure is Is inches and hips Is.
Her parents declare she weighed
u pounds when born and was 21s
feet in length Myrtle's feet are long
and very slender. Her hands and fin
gers are in proportion to her body
and her head is not much larger than
big orange.
Myrtle, because of her extreme
height, is compelled to wear dresses
which reach her shoe tops, while her
playmates romp about in short skirts
and boomers. She is in the second
grade at school and is six inches tall
er than the teachers. At school she is
considered a bright pupil.
Physicians and scientists who have
seen the girl declare they have never
heard of anything like her. They are
of the opinion that she will live as
long as the ordinary person and prob
ably become the tallest woman in the
world. They declare at her present
rate of growth she will be 9 feet
high by the time she is Is years old
and will probably weigh 115 pounds.
Myrtle has never been sick a day in
her life.

CHAMPAGNE AT SIS BOTTLE AND
CRAP GAMES LEAD TO RAID
Several American Officers We're in
The Place When Police Appear
ed on the Scene,

PARIS.-Much comment has been
aroused by the raid made on the
Franco-American Pantheon club by
Inspector Tanguy for the Paris po-
lice. The inspector said he suspected
that various games of chance were
in operation there and declared he
discovered that champagne was being
sold for $15 bottle and that orange
ade cost one franc a glass. The evil
dence, he added, was sufficient to
warrant closing the club. Thirty
men, including several American of
ficers and two women, were in the
club when the inspector and his men
walked in Monday night.
Baroness Brault, who presided over
the destinies of the club, says it was
a literary and artistic organization.

about S565, 100000. In view of the
economies" which Mr.. McAdoo an
tlclpated would result from unifca-
ton, and which the advocates of gov
eminent ownership predicted would
result from government operation, it
will probably astound the public to
learn that the increase of expenses
during the year would have greatly
exceeded half billion dollars without
any advance of wages at all.
1t has been estimated that the ad-
vances in wages made under govern
ment control have amounted to over
8OO,OOO,O0O annually, and much dis
custom has been predicated on the I'M
derstanding that substantially this
amount was charged into the accounts
for 1918. The discrepancy between
this figure and the one which Mr..
Hines gave is explained by the fol-
lowing note which is given in Mr..
Hines table regarding the estimated
advance IN wages in 1918: "The
statement does not include the effect
of increases covered by supplements
IL and ID which were promulgated
in December, 1918, with regard to
which reliable data are not available. ;"
Thus $2O0,O00,000 to 100000, 900
more wages must be included in oper-
ating expenses in 1919 than in 1918,
at time when the traffic handled,
and, an consequence, the total earn
ings made are declining. To estimate
with any confidence what future earn
ing and expenses will be when both
earnings and expenses are being af-
fected by such influences is imprac-
ticable.

HUNGER in RUSSIA
KILLING THOUSANDS
FOOD so SCARCE CATS SELL AT
So APIECE. NO FUEL FOR
LIGHT AND HEAT.

Starvation prevails throughout Dol.
shevik Russia and is killing off the
population by thousands. Diseases
due to under nourishment are ram.
pant and food is so scarce in Petro-
grad and Moscow that cats sell read
lily for So each. The undertakers can
not cope with conditions, as there is
not enough wood for collins. The
British government received these
reports within the last week from
British subjects recently returned
from Russia.
Their evidence is unanimous that
the food situation is terrible, and
that If means are not found to allie
viate it the inhabitants of bolshevik
Russia may starve to death. The
Britishers say that the plight of Rus
STA is a direct result of the reign
of anarchy and terror instituted by
Lenine and Trotzky. They declare
that the Russian problem has become
question of common humanity.
Petrograd Toll Heavy.
Thousands are dying daily in Pet
rograd, Moscow, Kiev and Odecca
In Petrograd alone the deaths from
famine three weeks ago numbered
200 daily. Typhoid, or hunger ty-
phus," is carrying off young and old
everywhere, and in Moscow CHAMBERS
is epidemic.
There is no fuel for lighting, and
millions live in darkness after night

STATE INTEREST SHOWN IN
RACE FOR FERERAL JUDGESHIP
Contest Seems to Have Narrowed
Down to Two, With Smith and
Harris on Opposing Sides.


An Atlanta dispatch says the race
for the federal judgeship in the
northern district of Georgia, which
embraces Terrell and a number of
other counties in this section, has
narrowed down to a contest between
G. Ed Maddox, of Rome, and District
Attorney Hooper Alexander.
1t is understood that Senator Will
liam j. Harris and Colonel Edward
7. Brown have selected Mr.. Maddox
as the proper man to succeed judge
William T. Newman; while Senator
Hoke Smith, it is further understood,
will favor the candidacy of Hooper
Alexander.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
contest for the federal judgeship is
to be well matched-with Senator
Harris and Colonel Edward T. Brown
supporting Mr.. Maddox, and Senator
Hoke Smith supporting Mr. Alexan-
der.
The outcome of the judgeship con-
test will be watched with keen inter
est in political circles throughout the
state.
Judge Newman, who was appoint
ed by President Cleveland, has reach
ed the age when he can retire on
full pay, and he has signifed his in
tention of so doing at an early date.

TERRELL BOY WITH
THE FIGHTING FIRST
JAMES T. CRAWFORD WITH DI.
VISION THAT BLAZED WAY
TO VICTORY IN FRANCE

James I. Crawford, a Terrell
county boy who was with the eight
ing 1st" in France, the division that
bore the brunt of the campaign
against the Germans, writes an in
terestlng letter to his sister, Mrs.
Cain Wall. He states that he has
not received any mail since last Aug
ust and has not ben paid in six
months, and tells of his experiences
at the front, where he saw much
hard service. "Those were irving
times for US lads" he says, "and
now we are looking forward when we
can walk the gang plank for our re-
turn journey. 1t seems to me as
though the fellows who were first to
come over will be the last ones to re-
turn. But getting home does not
worry me half as bad as it does some
OF these six-months guys. l consid-
er 1t great privilege that was with
the First division. We, of course,
caught the brunt of a good manv
things, but in doing so we opened the
pathway for the great American ar
my that was to follow us. We were
the hrst troops to take up the Amer
can lines northwest of Toul in the
Lorraine sector. Then, after we were
relieved there last spring by the
IWenly-slXth division, we were sent
to the Plcardy-Torrence front. While
there we pulled off a good many raids,
and were also forming our plans for
what would be the first real American
drive, so on May 27-28, 1918, we
were ready for the supreme test. We
launched the drive by storming and
capturing the village of Cantigny
(then held by the Germans). It was
great success. We captured a good
many prisoners and much material.
The strengthening of our lines was
also a great advantage for our troops.
You see, we made good right there.
and in doing so we proved to the
world that the American soldier was
equal to any that ever went on the
battlefield. When the Chateau
Thierry drive was launched in july
"The Fighting First" was right there.
but our position was near Scissors.
| know you read about that drive, so
l won't go into details. The next
one was at st. Mihiel in September.
1t was great battle also. Well, in
October we were sent to take part
in the Argonne forest drive. Octo-
Der 4th was an unlucky day for me,
for | received a nice piece of shrap-
mel in the hip. That was the last
drive for me, as the armistice was
signed before | recovered. Never did
my outfit have a retreat, and we lost
very few men as prisoners. Our cas-
ualtles, however, were higher than
any other division. Couldn't help but
be, as we were always put in the
hardest positions to capture. We
made our reputation, though, in the
last drive in the Argonne forest,
when a captured German officer adj
mitted that the First division was
worthy to go with the best armies of
the world"
Private Crawford answered the
call for volunteers in the spring of
1917. and after only six weeks train
ing in the United States was sent
with his division to France.
