THE DIARY OF A U. S. ARMY STRUCK DRIVER. CHAPTER I.
(Thl the flrt cnapter In th remarkable article by an auto truck driver with United State army In Mexico,
telling the hardship and thrilling experiences of the men who carry supplies to the boys In khaki.)
Ascension. Chihuahua, -: Mexico. (By
Mail) The day of the army wagon train
is almost a thing of the past. This is
becoming; more and more a graaoline age,
and where a few weeks ago we had a
inere harmful of automobiles in our army
we now have hundreds.
Although the sudden injection of these
hundreds of machines into the army ser
vice has been a much more costly pro
cess than If we had had thoroughly or
ganized aut0 truck trains with trained
drivers and mechanics in the regular
army service, we can be proud of the
work done by our army o. .cers in so
short a time and the decree of c.ciency
they have attained in handling this im
portant branch of the service.
Since our army entered Mexico I was
curious to see the army truck trains in
operation over thp - t route ever
- l-ted by auto trucks.
I had heard all sorts of stories from
truck drivers returning from the front.
Some had a " story to tell of how his
train had been fired on by Mexican
snipers; others told of the bad road con
ditions and the terrible heat by day and
railroad. Advance . information al
ready assures the biggest patronage,
and Alabamians by thousands, not
hundreds, shou be here for a couple
of days. i
From all that can b Jmid it will
be the heaviest excursion handled to
the coast by Ihe L. & N. in years, and
will bring people here from all parts
of Alabama. -
rIn anticipation of the desire for the
inland people to take a swim in the
gulf, ' local pleasure boat owners are
burnishing up their craft, and every
thing that will pass muster will be
pressed into service. '

ALL ANIMALS ARE PROPERLY
LICENSED.
E. W. Mclntyre has been named as
a special officer to inspect dog li
censes," and to see that all canines are
properly tagged or muzzled, and he
intends to make a thorough and care
ful canvass of the city, beginning
this morning.
The city ordinances require that all
dogs be licensed and that the animals
wear a small metal tag, to be fur
nished by the comptroller when the
regulation license is paid. Male dogs
are taxed $1 while females are
i charged double price. In case dogs,
the ownership of which is established,
are found without tags, owners will
be notified, and a sufficient time will
be given to allow them to be so tag-
eed In case there is a refusal to
provide tags, owners are to be ar
rested and will be subjected to fine
in the recorder's court.

One Way to
' Fight Tuberculosis
Is to pay special attention to hygienic
living- nd proper diet. Science Is agreed
that fresh air, rest and avoidance of
food excesses constitute the most effec
tive treatment in the early stages of
this n-Wespread and destructive affec
tion. .
Often, however, these measures need
supplementing by proper medication.
The system lacks sufficient resistance t
overcome the attack, and something must
be done to assist in upbuilding the
patient's strength.
In many cases of this sort Eckman's
Alterative has been used with marked
success. . Also, it has proved beneficial

ACCIDENT, WHICH CAME NEAR

FOR OWNER OF AUTOMOBILE,
IS REPORTED.
At the rather sharp corner at the
intersection of Wright and Guille
marde streets, yesterday morning at
9 o'clock, an automobile owned and
driven by Dave DeLoney, an engi
neer at the ePnsacola water plant,
collided with an electric car
of the East Hill belt line, and the
only reasonable explanation as to why
Mr. DeLoney was not hurt was the
fact that the auto and the electric car
were moving slowly. The auto was
slightly damaged, and no one was
injured in the least. No arrests were
effected.
In making a statement of the ac
cident, Mr. DeLoney explained to
Patrolman Harper that he ran into
the electric car because he was try
ing to dodge a wagon, which was ap
proaching Guillemarde street. That
I explanation was corroborated by quite
a number Witnesses.
