EVERYDAY AND READY FOR WORK -..v.t--'-- 'i-r.fc-, THREE GET HIGHLY "Every morning now I wake un as hungry as a bear and when I get 'my breakfast I am ready for a hard day's work, and the beauty is that the work does not "tire me down as it used to. - I have more strength and enererv and that 'stay there power," are the words of Mr.. WT. Edens. the well known farmer who lives on Route 3, from Sumter, S, C. "I used to suffer from rheumatism of the Joints mighty" bad and it almost had me down at one time. The pains were very bad, too, I tell you. 1 was full , of pain all over it seemed like. Every joint hurt me and my muscles were sore as a boil. My kidneys were acting, bad and I think that is what brought on most of my suffering. Then my stomach got out of fix and seemed like I couldn't eat what I wanted with out it going back on me. I would swell up with gas and a lump would rise in my throat. Sometimes it felt like I had a heavy weight on my stomach. "But it is all different now since I have taken the new root and herb medicine Called Dreco, which I believe nearly everybody around in my neigh borhood is taking. It sure has done me good and 1 feel like I am doing any- Doay a lavor to tell them about It. I Sure do advise people suffering like I did to get Dreco and take it according to directions, for it will bring happi ness int their lives." -For a sluggish liver, weak kidneys. disordered stomach, constipation, head ache, rheumatism and catarrh of the head or stomach . there seems to be nothing better than Dreco, the new medicine, which is doing so much good in this section. Nearly everyone who takes it praises it. That is the best thing that can be said about any medi cine. Dreco Is sold by all druggists and is highly recommended in Wilmington-by Hardin's drug store, 126 S. Front street. adv. PRIZED DECORATION URGE LOOSENING First Congressional Medals of the War Awarded. JUDGE FREES GIRL ON TESTIMONY OF CONVICT Jury, Asked for Verdict as to What to do With Convict, Believes He Committed Perjury. New York, Dec 15. Without taking the stand in her own defense, Elizabeth Baksa, the 19-year-old Freeman&burg, Pa., girl on trial for the murder of her boarding house keeper here, was ac quitted this afternoon at the direction of Judge Rosalsky. When James Regan, Sing Sing con vict, called In rebuttal by the prosecu tion, persisted in his story as a .wit ness for the defense that -he had killed Mrs. Helen Hamel last February, af terward threatening Miss Bakea's life when she . discovered the crime, the court ruled that the evidence need not be presented to the jury. 1 "Thank God, they knew .1 was in nocent," the youthful prisoner cried when informed that she was free. After a half hour of conference the jurors, who were asked by the judge what -should be done with Regan, re turned a "verdict" as follows: "We do not believe the statements of Regan on the stand. We do not believe he was ever in the houee, nor had he any connection with the murder. We believe he committed perjury." Judge Rosalsky announced he would confer with the district attorney con cerning what action should be taken. They Go To Col. . Whittlesey and . Cast. McMurtry of the Famous , "Iiostj,"' Battalion" and to Private Net. . baur of Rainbow Division. , Washington, Dec. 5. Three, Ameri can soldiers a colonel, a captain, tand a private have been, designated -by President Wilson to receive the -highest military decoration given 'by - the United States for valor in aotionthe congressional medal of nohor.-, ' They have won the first, of ' the . medals awarded during the war with Ger many and. their names are: - " Colonel Charles W- Whittlesey, 308th infantry; Captain George G." McMurtry, and Private Thomas C. Neibaur. Colonel Whittlesey, then major, and Captain McMurtry were at the head of the famous "lost battalion" of the 308th which lost half its men holding out against the enemy when surround ed in the Argonne forest unrelieved five days later. Private Neibaur distinguished . him self when the Rainbow division ; took Cote de Chatillon in October by stop ping an enemy charge against a ridge single handed with his automatic, af ter all others of his patrol detachment had been kited, or wounded. In spite of wounds through both knees he com pleted the exploit by bringing , in 11 Germans at the point of .-.his pistol. Colonel Whittlesey's address is Pitts field, Mass.; that of Capt. of Capt. Mc Murtry, New York City; and of Nei baur, Sugar City, Idaho. , Colonel Whittlesey was the officer who, when called upon to surrender, told the Germans to "go to hell." . The citation given out by the war department shows his 'command con sisted originally of 463 officers and men of the 308th infantry and Company K of the 307th Infantry; that this force, without rations or other supplies, held out against greatly superior numbers and when the enemy sent in a proT posal in writing on the fourth day that the Command surrender, Major Whittlesey "treated it with contempt," although his losses, then amounted to 50 per cent of -his force in killed and wounded. Captain McMurtry, who was in di rect command of this force, was twice wounded, but continued to encourage and lead his. men. Of Private Neibaur, the citation says he had been sent out on patrol to en flllade ( the enemy machine gun nests with an automatic rifle. After being wounded he took up a position on a ridge, toward which the enemy troops drove, and although cut off from his regiment, with the remainder of his detachment killed or wounded, Neibaur kept his ' automatic at work with such effect that the attack was driven back. Four Germans attacked him at close quarters and these he killed. "He then moved alone among the enemy lying on the ground about him," the citation says, "in the. midst of the fire from his own lines and by coolness and gallantry captured eleven prison ers at the point of his pistol and al though painfully wounded, brought them back to our lines." The statement concluded by saying thaf the arresting of an- enemy at tack in full force was largely due to the Individual efforts 1 of Neibaur, "whose heroic exploits took place against the skyline in full view of his entire battalion."
