My diges tion was so bad that I couldn't eat anything but bread and milk. I lost weight rapidly, had terrible pains in my back and sides, and a rheumatic condition developed all over my body. For months I couldn't turn myself in bed or even move without help. I was told I couldn't live and I'd lost hope of ever finding relief. But Sar gon changed my whole life. I am eat ing anything I like without the least indigestion and I'm so strengthened and invigorated that I do all my housework and milk the cows too. There isn't a pain left in my body and I actually walked three miles the other day to a school house to attend a meeting.

A TBIP TO SPAIN AND ITALY By COLE SAVAGE - PART I. For some time I have wished 1 could take a trip abroad. I have wanted to go to supplement my edu cation with travel. But since I haven't the money to buy ocean voyages I did not know exactly how to go about it Not long ago, however, I saw a news item In a Norfolk paper which said several young Americans were needed as caretakers of mules on a ship to Spain. Here, I thought, might 6"e an opportunity. So I applied. The' out | look was not very encouraging at first because they would not tell me ' anything definite. I kept hammering away at my work in Jackson, not thinking very seriously about a trip until Tuesday, January 14, when they told me if 1 wanted to go to get ready and report with bag and baggage Saturday, January 18. I reported and to my glad surprise got on. We sailed from Norfolk, Va., Mon day afternoon, January 84, on the Italian steamship Monarca after spending two days loading. We had loaded 1200 Missouri mules which were going to Barcelona, Spain, and Oran, Africa. The* crew, which was Italian and 42 in number, had loaded abont 7,000 tons of coal for Genoa, Italy. As supplies we had 600 bales of hay, 1,000 bags of grain and 1,600 tons of water. The Monarca was 480 feet long, 12,000 tons, and was especially fitted for carrying milles. It had three decks of stalls with running wat^r throughout There were 39 Americans to take care of the mules, Abe Fferrar, of Bast St Louis, 111., about 36 years of nge, had charge of them. Those com posing the party loaded as follows: 10 at East St Louis, 111., one at Knoxville, Tgnn., 12 at Salisbury and lix at Norfolk, Va. The work was divided like this: lour were bosses, one was mess boy, two were nightwatchmen and 82 sere feeders and caretakers. It hap pened that I was nightwatchmaa. The other nightwatchnjan was A. H. Jerry, of Ashley, 111. He was about >8 years of age and wore a mustache uid goatee. His grandfather was istlve of Morganton and moved to Uinois soon after the Civil War. My task was to look after half the au|es at night untangle them and ee that none of them got crippled r hurt I was given a hickory walk tig cane and a flashlight with which t> work. I went aroifhd every hour nd looked nt them. As there were ires decks and f had to go from one ) the other I had a lot of walking nd climbing to do. I had never orked at night and It took me cor ral nights to get adjusted. I got so leepy I could hardly stay awake. I puld do so only by moving contin uity. My hardest time was from 8 i S a is. I seemed to be loaded 1th lead at that time. Then day ght would come and drive the rowsiness away.

For breakfast we visually had corn beef and crackere, lam or syrup and -prunes, and coffee. Foi dinner we had spaghetti and hard tack, European beans, potatoes ana boiled beef. Supper was similar to dinner. At first this fare was good but it soon grew monotonous. Along toward the last the boys called our ship the "Spaghetti Special." Did I get seasick? I thought 1 wouldn't but what I thought didn't happen. I was the sickest I hare ever been and was that way for four days and nights. I got sick after we were about IS hotrrs out. While the ship was rocking and rolling I began to feel dlxzy. In two Instants I had unloaded my stomach of everything It contained. Then I felt as weak as a rag. On the second Inspection round my boss, noticing my condition, said. "You wouldn't care If you fell over board, would you, Savage?" "No, I wouldn't," I replied, and I meant it. WelL I would: I need you," he con tinued- And that was all the sym pathy he gave me. After four days I made the adjustment and returned to food and sleep. As it was winter we sailed the southern route going south ot the Azores. We had no storms on the Atlantic and very little rough seas. We sailed for days and days without seeing any signs of life except on our own ship. It took us 20 days to go from Nor folk to Barcelona. We were 16 days on the Atlantic and fire days on the Mediterranean, one of which was spent unloading 166 mules in Oran, Africa. At Oran peddlars came on board as soon as we docked and stayed most of the day selling tan foreign cigarettes, post cards and gerlnes, chocolate bars. Cookies, spirituous drinks. We bought eats add- cigarette mostly. I gat M fresh tangerines for a dime. The peddlars were Arabs and French. The Arabs wore the fez on their heads but other wise were dressed similar to a work ing man in our country. They were ell dirty and filthy looking. We ran into a storm before reach ing Barcelona and for a day and night the Monarca cut capers In all dlrec ? tioni. About 1 a. m. a terrific rain storm with thunder and Ughtni surrounded ui. During the next da; spray kept coming rrrtb "the forward deck wetting everything on top. While we were eating supper Berry had his plate on a pile of hatch boards on the top deck. The ship rocked low to the side, his supper took a scoot across the deck and was kept from running into the sea only by the trench at the rail. At 7 p. m. on Sunday, February 9, we sailed into port at Barcelona Spain. The lights were beautiful and the land was a charming sight after 10 days on a wide, wide ocean with men, mules and manure.
