Get into the red-blooded class if
you are not there now. Take a few
weeks' course of that splendid ton
i(5 Pepto-Mangan and note how you
improve in health and looks. Pep
to-Mangan is a red-blood maker and
Is for sale at the drug store right
near your home. It is put up in both
liquid and tablet form. Take which
you choose, but see that the name
"Gude is on the package. With
out "Gude" it is not Pepto-Mangan.
" It is the cry everywhere "Want
ed Red-Blooded Men." The soldiers
and sailors, that won tho war were
rod-blooded, two-fisted fellows. In
business it is the red-blooded man
that stands the strain and wins the
big successes. The world has no place
for the thin blooded weakling. It. is
natural, too, that red-bloodied men
and women should have more friends,
and they do. Thoy are better human
beings than the thin-blooded ane-
mics, who are likely to be "grouchy"
and irritable most of the time.

FLOOD SWEEPS VALLEY. . I
Thousands Homeless as Result
Swollen Streams.
of
Meridian, Miss., Dec 9. One
thousand people were homeless and
train service on six railroads was in
definitely suspended Mere to-night
because of a flood from swollen
streams at the south of the city. One
person, a negro, is thought to have
lost his life. The damage is esti
mated in hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
With the exception of Mobile and
Ohio trains running to and from the
North, Meridian was cut off from the
outside world , following the forty
eight hour rainfall, which reached
10.10 Inches. '
The small valleys to the south are
completely flooded and the residents,
mostly negroes, had to flee to higher
ground. Several . manufacturing
plants are in these .valleys. The
railroad tracks are under water for
miles, and it is estimated that the
flood will not recede wliuhin less
than three days. Several washouts
on railroads have ; been reported.
The unverified report of loss of
life was that of Milton Jones, negro,
who was said to have been swept
away by the water while attempting
to rescue a negress marooned in her
house.
The dams of lakes privately owned
have broken. The damage to these
lakes including the loss of fish with
which they were stocked is estimat
ed at $25,000. - .

Waning to Farmers. 5
The attention of this office has re
cently been called to a "peculiar"
disease appearing among horses and
mules on several farms in the West
ern part of the State. Upon investi
gating these cases we have found the
trouble to be Forage Poisoning in
every instance. .This ia hot a new
disease, having appeared from time
to time but with greater prevalency
during some years than others. It
is commonly spoken of as "Blind
Staggers." The appearance of this
trouble is invariably associated with
the feeding of mouldy grain or rough
ness. On account, of the unsatis
factory results in treating this di
sease, it becomes very essential . to
rely on preventative rather than cu
railKS-.measures. Consequently we
y lUtioning farmers to avoid
feeding anything to horses and mules
which has become mouldy. The fact
that you have fed mouldy grain or
roughness during previous years with
out bad results is not a satisfactory
argument to justify its continuation.
Stop feeding bad feed to horses and
mules and thereby stop losses from
Forage Poisoning.

Veterinarian.

New Sales Commissary Popular in
Coblenz.
According to a recent copy of "The
Amaroc News," a paper published in
the interest of the American Forces
in Coblenz, Germany, all the facili
ties of an American department store
are now available to the American
and Allied families living in the area
of Coblenz. Almost every article of
merchandise needed and every food
stuff required in the home from fuel
to groceries and meats to fruit and
vegetables, can now be purchased
from the Quartermaster Corps. Ser
vice facilities of the new commissary
include the handy feature so prized
by the average housewife of being
able to telephone orders and get them
delivered the same afternoon. The
big building used for the store was
formerly a barracks for American
soldiers. The interior was remodeled
and fitted with counters, booths, of
flees, etc., its central location- and
ample floor space is ideally suited to
the purpose. "
A newly inaugurated system of au
diting and handling each day's busi
ness has been 'put in charge of a
chief abstractor and an individual re
cord is kept of each booth, using es
pecially a$sjract of sale and inven
tory store sheets. ' At all booths ex
cept the butcher shop and clothing
section, cash Is paid across the coun
ter for each article as is the custom
in a civilian store, the only differ
ence is that the merchandise is sold
to purchasers at Government cost.
The department store nature of
the new commissary Is still further
resembled by parcel-wrapping coun
ters and clothes trying-on rooms. A
floor-walker is on hand to see that
all booths are kept supplied with
ample stocks of the articles that are
handled. His duty is also to invite
and make suggestions for the better-;
ment of the Service. Supplies suffi
cient to last a month are stored in
the main building which can be re
plenished as needed from the big
Quartermaster Headquarters at Cob
lenz. A large supply of clothing for
officers and enlisted men la on its
way from the United States.
Deep-seated coughs that resist or
dinary treatment remedies require
both external and internal treatment.
If you buy a dollar of BALLARD'S
HOREHOUND SYRUP you get the
two "remedies you need for the price
of one. There is a HERRICK'S
RED PEPPER POROUS PLASTER
for the chest, free with each bottle.
