SOLDIER WELL
BEFORE WOUND
IS REPORTED

An example of how far the war de-
partment is behind in it's. compilation
of American casualties is contained in
the notification of an Americas mother
of the wounding of her son. The sold
Ter is James A. Rouse, son of Mr.. and
Mrs B. w. Roust, 131 z. Lamar street
Mrs. Rouse received word few days
ago that her son was wounded severe
ly in France Oct: "a. She had had the
same information, except for the cor
rectness of the date, several months
ago-in fact, her son has recovered
and is again on duty with his unit.
His name has just appeared in the
published casualty lists.
II know that the war department is
wrong about the date James was
wounded" said Mrs. Rouse today. II
had letters from him dated October 4,
16, 81 and 81. The one written Oct 4
said nothing about him being wounded
That written Oct 16 came from the
hospital where he was lying, so know
he was wounded between these dates
I'VE have never had any word from
him as to the nature of his wound or
in what battle he received it. He did
say, however, that he was hit going
over the top, and his first lieutenant,
from Jacksonville, was shot down by
his side. He wrote that he was back
on duty as clerk of C company, 328th
Inf, SD division with which he went
to France. He said he would never be
able to do heavy work again, but ap-
pears to have recovered almost com
pletely.
''The last word we had from him, his
unit was at Brest, expecting to sail
shortly for the United States"
Soldier Rouse, who is % years OF
age, had been a member of the Ameri-
Gus fire department for year when
he joined the colors He also served
a year as fireman in Moultrie.

DRESS WARM AND
KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Acid.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex, color or rank. If not the most
dangerous of human Affections it is
one of the most painful. Those subject
to Rheumatism should eat less meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels, and
absorbed into the blood. 1t is the func-
ton of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it out in the
urine; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accommodating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
Joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put tablespoonful in a
glass of water and drink before break
fast each morning for week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu-
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus Kidding the blood of these impur-
tiles.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands cf folks who are subject to rheu-
matism. Here you have pleasant
efervescent lithia-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as we'll

Focl.Proof Airplane.

The latest model of British airplane
Is said to be as nearly foolproof as II
is possible to make such a machine
as an airplane. The machines are so
balanced and the wings so arranged,
that when the engine stops they glide
gradually and easily to earth. The
following test shows how stable these
airplanes are: A pilot climbed to a
sufficient height, and then stopped his
engine and took his hands Off the con-
troll, merely keeping his feet on the
ruddeP bar. He steered for an air
drome twenty miles away, and, having
headed her straight. he let the air
plane do what she liked. She trav-
eled the whole twenty miles as stead
lily as bicycle coasting down a loAg,
straight and gentle hill. OF course
the pilot had to take hold Of the con-
troll stick to land the machine in the
airdrome. but except for that, and the
steering, the airplane made the whole
journey by herself.

When a grand jury fails to re-
turn as indictment against a person
who shoots at another on the pub
lie streets OF the county seat, with
the intention OF killing him, and no
arrest of such person has been
made or any demonstration of law
against them, we may be pardoned
if we ask, since when has Ohio
County ceased to be a law-abiding
and law respecting County? Waiv-
ing sentimental reasons, which
should not figure in opposition to
carrying out the law, we cannot
see why one person as well as an
other should not be made to feel
the pressure of judicial power.
Such an incident as above de-
scribed has occurred twice in this
county and no indictment has been
returned. We may be conservative
and ignorant of legal matters but
we should like to know if the law
has no jurisdiction over such mat
tiers, who or what has? If there
can be no arrest made or indict-
ment returned for shooting at a.
man on the streets, then where is
law? And if one person can do so,
why not another? Had we not as
we'll grant license to avenge our
wrongs outside the courts? The
law, you say; but we are
if the unwritten law
would be so honored if the one who |
did the shooting were a woman
from the country, who had no in
thence, social or political, in Hart

Had Same War Adventures.

A letter from the chaplain of base
hospital 40. French lines, brings to
light strange case of parallel circum-
stances in the war experiences of two
San Franciscans, Corp. Arthur II. Null
len, 621 Alvarado street, and Private
Jeremiah Sears, 623 Alvarado street.
After enlistment the two men, living
In the same building, were assigned to
the same division, fought in the same
battle, escaping wounds; then in the
hattie of Argonne they were both
wounded October ii at the same time,
by machine-gun bullets, and were
placed side by side on cots in the same
hospital.

Experiments made in the training Of
dogs as messengers with the armies
in the field have, it is stated, given
satisfactory results. The dogs which
proved most receptive under instruc-
tions are chiefly half-breed cOllies and
retrievers. a rather poor breed of
bob-tailed sheepdogs has also done
well. All have been trained to per-
form their erraHds during heavy fir
Ing, both of rifles and guns. They
can be fired over rs easily as the or
binary sporting dog. and what is quite
another thing. they will face fire at
close range.

During the Middle Ages Cologne

of the city were famous the world
over; while Its merchants had houses
In London, and the city itself was ac-
corded a chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set In with the dawn of
the Reformation, and the place owed
its Downfall to its intolerance. Thus,
its university. which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had q great
reputation, began ut once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity Of the town. and when,
in 17t4, Cologne was occupied by the
French, II was poor and decayed
city Of some 10000 inhabitants, Of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights.
Since 1915, however, when II was
finally assigned to Prussia, Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to-
day 1t is one OF the most important
cities Of Germany, with a population
Of nearly half million.

Striking proof Of the well-known

The inhabitants Of the French farm
houses near the camp had never seen
any ice cream until "JuGger" took
them over a mess kit full OF the great
American delicacy.
The children gathered around ex-
pectantly. The first one took a spoon
full and at once began to weep and de-
clare that the strange food was hot.
The others who had watched rather
horror stricken the fate of the first be-
came convinced that it was some sort
of white fire and would have nothing
TO do with the cream.
