were transported exclusively in
American ships. OF these. 1915 per
cent were carried in American naval
transports. The figures show that the
percentage actually carried in British
ships was 4S.25 per cent. as against
the much higher figures recently
made public, An additional 3 per
cent was carried in Italian ships
leased to the British and another ESQ
per cent was carried in ships OF other
nations.
The American Navy. however. es-
corted and guarded the transport of
S2.75 per cent of all the troops. rep
resenting 1.720,360 men. The British
escorted 14.12 per cent. representing
2a7 900 men The French escorted 3.13

Designs for Medals Submitted.

Two designs for medals to be given by
civic organizations to all District vete-
rams were submitted by Isaac Cans,
chairman of the committee on medals or
buttons. If the medal idea be adhered
to, it is considered probable that one
will be chosen which bears on one side
a likeness of the President, with space
for the insertion of the soldiers. sailors
faces of Pershing and Foch, with bor-
der of the flags of the allied nations.
Other designs, however, and designs for
lapel buttons will be submitted before

All members of the executive COM

THAT DULL ACHING

Don't worry and complain about
bad back. Get rid of it! For weak
kidneys, lame and achy backs, your
neighbors recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills. Read this statement:
Mrs. W. L. Howell, 914 Forsyth
St., Americus, says; "a few years
ago my kidneys became affected
They didn't act properly and felt
tired and languid all the time. My
back was sore and lame and had
a constant, dull ache in the small
of it, When 1 would stoop over, I
could hardly straighten again and diz-
zy specks would float before my eyes,
blurring my sight. Hearing of
Doan's Kidney Pills, decided to
take them, and box and half en-
tirely cured me of the complaint. l
have never had recurrence Of these
ailments since"

TO DARKEN HAIR
APPLY SAGE TEA
Look Young! Bring Back Its
Natural Color, Gloss and
AttractivenesS.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
a few applications will prove revela-
ton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
for use. This is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition of other in
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because it does 1t so
naturally, so evenly. You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morning
all gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
oft and luxuriant.
SThis preparation is delightful toilet
requisite and is not intended for the
cure, mitigation or prevention of dis
ease

Some of the passersby, with bet

Value of Quick Decision.

AS a rule the man who has trained
limself to quick decisions and prompt
lctions follows close to the right. He
Ioes not need to debate questions as
loes the man who has become mas
.er of deliberation. His mental facul-
les seem to work automatically and
hey are generally right. I'm not sure
)ut that they are more often right
han they are with the man who is
constantly weighing pros and cons and
becoming confused with the issues.
He saves time because he acts quick
y and he saves everybody the III

An encouraging sign of the times is
the trend of southern farming towar
diversification of crops and livestock
raising
The world needs food, and the Souta
may supply large part of it, with the
certainty of increasing its farm in
comes and the productiveness of its
soils.
The importance of producing more
grain and hay and raising beef cattle
is recognized by all thinking people,
as well as the necessity of providing
the only sound basis for these indus
tries-that furnished by the growing
Of clover and other legumes, and the
grasses. We must have forage to feed
livestock, and we mast grow legumes
II feed the soil and increase the yields
of grain and other food crops.
The way is not hard to follow, and
one does not have to travel far in any
section of the southeast to find good
examples of soil-building, and success
full livestock farming. The blue grass
regions of the country no longer fut-
nish the finest types of beef cattle,
and record yields of grain are held by
gections that are not included in the
corn and wheat belts. The cattle

farming paying business, and pure
bred beef and dairy cattle are taking
the places of the old common stock Of
these sections.
Reports received from agricultural
experiment stations and from practical
farmers show that the greatest success
attained in the change from "all co.,
ton" to diversified farming and live
stock raising was on lands that were
treated with lime to produce clover,
alfalfa and other legumes, which made
certain larger yields Of grain crops
that followed.
Our leading agricultural authorities
regard lime as the foundation of sue
cessful farming in the South. Prof,
c. B. Williams, Dean of Agriculture
and Chief of the Division of Agrono-
my, N. c. Experiment Station, says !:
I'm order to build up soil in the most
economical way we must use legume',
and in order to grow these crops you
have to use lime in most cases" it
is an old saying that "a limestone
country is a rich country" ANY soil
can be made a limestone soil simply
by liberal applications Of pulverized
limestone, and now that large manu-
featuring plants are making available
the mountains of this material found
in the Southern Appalachians, the
farmers of Georgia, North and South
Carolina, and other states, may grow
large crops of legumes and other for
age, improve their lands and make
livestock farming a profitable industry.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cure,

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure catarrhal deafness,
and that is by a Constitutional remedy,
Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
perfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the
Inflammation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases o.
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Il

Slin1 Gives Relief.

Great relief from pain in neuritis OF
the arm has been gained from the use
Of a sling described by Dr. X. I. Will
hanson in the British Medical Jour
nal. The sling passes over the shout
der of the unaffected arm and under
the elbow of the painful arm in such
a way that it Slightly raises it. This,
by raising the shoulder and collar

nerve roots and prevents the weight

nerves.
