Almost miraculously none of the
six 6ccupants of the badly wrecked
car were seriously injured, and the
car operated by Mrs. Haskell was
but slightly damaged. Barnes, who
was with Grimes, was taken into
custody by the Hallowell police
shortly after the accident, as he was
about to return to his home on the
electric car, and was locked up in
the police cells under technical
charges of intoxication.
1t is alleged that the driver of the

The accident occurred when the
car driven by Mrs. Haskell and in
which were riding her two sisters. a
girl friend and young man, was
proceeding toward Augusta. The
other car being driven in the op-

A physician was called by resi-
dents of houses near the scene of the
accident, but before his arrival all
of those who had been riding in the
Grimes car had managed to spirit
themselves away, and it was not be-
lieved that any had suffered injuries
more serious than minor decorations

The only damage to the Augusta

car said to have been operated by
Arthur Grimes was badly smashed

tires were ripped from the rims, and
the front end of the Ford was badly
crushed.

Most people who suffer. either occa-

and indigestion, have now discontinued
disagreeable diets. patent foods and the
use of harmful drugs, stomach tonics,
medicines and artificial digestents, and
instead. following the advice so often
given in these columns. take a teaspoon
full or two tablets of Bisurated Magnesia
in a little water after meals with the re-
suit that their stomach no longer troubles
them. they are able to eat as they please
and they enjoy much better health.
Those who use Bisurated Magnesia never
dread the approach Of meal time be-
cause they know this wonderful anti

obtained from any good drug store, will

The announcement that the regi-

for that matter, has furnished many
problems to overcome, which prob
ably would not have been encoun-
tered II the regiment had made a
permanent two weeks camp. 1t is
the best of training, the Colonel
stated.
One of the biggest problems to
overcome is that of the water sup
ply for the regiment. A surprising
amount of water is needed for
washing. cooking. drinking, clean
ing.-and today alone three wells
and two springs of water were used
up by the regiment. Major Harold
NJ. Goodwin, medical officer. is con-
stantly harrassed with the problem
of securing good pure water for the
use of the organization.
Organization within the compa-
nies Is fine, the colonel stated yes
terday. Each man is acquainted
with his duties and goes about them
with no hesitation. The camp was
pitched today quickly and no dis
order was apparent. In each camp
that the regiment has made hot
meals-have been served to the men
within Is minutes to a half hour af-
ter their arrival. With an allow
ance of SOC per day per man the
regiment is being fed like kings. and
much satisfaction has been express
sed by the men.
Colonel Biselow particularly
praised Capt Chapman. regimental
supply officer. for his ability in buy
ing food supplies for the regiment.
In one instance Capt. Chapman was
able to buy 1000 pounds of beef at
lie pound below the market price,
making saving of $170 for use to
