Torturing Pains and Swollen . Joints
Vanish When Rheuma te Used.
At last a real remedy for rheuma
tism! And a good one it must be
wtben People's Drug Company and
geod druggists everywhere sell it on
the no-cure no-pay basis.
Rheumatics should hail the news
with great rejoicing, for it is surely a
reauflkablt remedy and has a record
of almost unbelievable cures. Read
wiiat J. F, Oliver of Albany, Ga., says
about it:
"I had sciatic rheumatism for two
years, and tried every medicine of
fered for rheumatism. Tried many
doctors, was treated at one of the
best southern sanatoriums, and if I
improved any I did not realize it. I
am a conductor on the Central of
Georgia Railroad, and had secured a
pass to Hot Springs, Ark to take
treatment About that time I saw
Rheuma advertised and concluded to
try it I abandoned my trip, took
three bottles, and now feel as well as
ever. I mm going to make everybody
I see who has rheumatism try it. ,1
would not take a hundred thousand
dollars for what iRheuma has done
for me. , I would rather be dead than
live as I was before the use of
Rheuma."
If you- have rheumatism in any
form, don't delay try Rheum A to
day. A - large bottle, sufficient for
two weeks' treatment is not expensive
and your money back if it does not
grv you quick and joyful relief.

Doing Hia Bit.
Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of
Nebraska, remarked at a social gath
ering that when one was doing his
best it was all that could be expected
of him, and contributed the following
story as an illustration:
One afternoon little Jimmy was in
vited to take tea with a chum, and
when he returned home ne found his
mother anxiously waiting for him.
"I hope, Jimmy," said the mother,
after listening to sundry details of the
affair, "that you remembered to wash
your hands before you went to the
table."
"We were called in so quickly,"
answered Jimmy, "that I didn't have
time to wash but one."
"Wm but one?" exclaimed his
mother, with much concern. "What
did you do?"
"Why, I ate with that one," v.-as
the reassuring reply of Jimmy, "and
kept the other in my Docket." Phil

Five or Six Hundred Men From An
niston, Alabama, Camp Stop Over
Here En Route to An Atlantic
Port Fine Lot of Husky Ameri
cans. Salislnny yesterday jrot what many
have been wanting to see established
here ever since the United States en
tered the war an army camp. How
ever, it was only a small camp and
was short lived. It consisted of
something: like 500 or more men from
the camp at Anniston, Alabama, and
they were on their way to an Atlantic
port.
In the early part of the day a num
ber of long troop trains had gone by
and when the one having on board
these men arrived instructions were
received by telegraph to hold the train
out here for a period of 24 hours
Then a site was sought on which to
pitch tents and the old ball, ground
at the corner of Henderson and Long
streets, diagonally across from the
residence of the late Col. John S.
Henderson, was selected and this field
was dotted with the regulation army
"dog" tents, just large enough to ad
mit of two men stretching out for
sleeping or rest. Then the men were
turned loose to roam about the city.
The territory in which they were per
mitted to go was limited and military
police patrolled the city to see that
none disobeyed this order. Their
bounds to the west stopped at Fulton
street, while to the south they were
permitted to go only as far as Horah
street. On the north they could go as
far as a block or two beyond the camp
site and their eastern territory was
also prescribed.
The train carrying thesft soldiers
arrived here about two o'clock and
shortly after the tents had been pitch
ed word came to camp to cut out the
21 hour stop over and leave at mid
night last night and was during the
break of the heavy rain that the men
had been marched to the camp ground
to go through maneuvers and while
the rain was on they took down and
folded their tents, and after supper
were again free to take in the city
until about 9:30 when bugler and
military police rounded the men up
for the night, and ordered them to
their train, which left about mid
night. It was a fine Bet of men and their
behavior here was favorably com
mented on by all Who came in contact
with them. Not that anybody expect
ed anything rough of th men but
their fine behavior was very notice
able. Not even the usual profanity
among a lot of 500 men was heard
and they were polite and courteous
and answered all questions .cheerfully
so far as they were permitted. Num
ber of automobile owners picked up
the boys and gave them a little ride
about the city during their stay. Two
of the companies was camposed of
Salisbury, Maryland, and they said it
made them homesick to stop in a city
named Salisbury. However, they lik
ed the city and said It was a bigger
and more progressive place than their
home town.
And all of them expressing them
selves stated they were eager to get
over there and get in the fray. One
big fellow said, "It's got to be done so
why not go over and do it and get
through with it. If we get killed, all
right. If we don't we will come back
home and go to work."

Where Only 45,000 Men Were Engag
ed in Building Ships in American
Now 300,000 Are So Engaged
Expanse Means More Ships to
Whip the Huns.
(By the Associated Press)
Washington, June 11. Iess than p.
veiir ago there were not 45,000 men
employed in American shipyards. To
day there are more than 300,000 skill
mechanics, and laborers engaged in
building ships, and an dditional 250,
000 employed in making engines, boil
eis, winches and other machinery nec
e::sury to equip them.
This tremedous expansion by which
tire United States hopes to put into
service a new merchant marine that
will rival the trading fleet of any na
'ion in the woild has been accomplish
ed in methodical fashion, without any
"fuss or feathers" but achieving a re
sult that industry lonf will regard as
one of the most brilliant victories of
the war. It has been brought about
by the Shipping Board through recog
nition of the principles that untrained
men can become skilled workmen only
through competent instructors. One
of the first tasks of the Shipping
Board, threfore, was tho creation of a
Division of Education and Training,
wheh has supervised the establish
ment of training centers and the de
velopment of instructors among the
formen and superintendents.
Training of the various kinds of
shipbuilders in the yards is accom
plished by putting the men to work
on production jobs, under the super
vision of a yard instructor. This yard
instructor has fuM charge of gangs
while they are learr.ing. The efficiency
of a greon gang under training will
average about 80 per cent of finished
workmen.
Yard instructors are skilled
mechanics trained in the teaching
method. This training is given in a
training center, where the mechanic
is given an idea of instructial manage
ment, and how to get the instructions
across effectively.
The first training center was estab
lished at Newport News. To it were
sent skilled mechanics, selected from
the yards. They were given a six
weeks' course of training, eight hours
a day. During the last part of this
course they were obliged to spend
forty hours in the actual handling of
eangs of green men. Yard instructors
re drawn from a variety of trades,
such as riverters, ship fitters, ship
carpenters, caulkers, etc.
Twenty-two plants have sent men
for training as yard instructors, 216
of these men have completed their
training and 74 are now in training.
In addition to the training center
established in Newport News, there
r.re now several others established at
Hog Island. Chester. Pa., and at the
Submarine Yard at Newark, N. J., and
two special centers for the training of
electric wcilclers at Schenectady, N.
Y., and at New York City.
So far 13 yards have put in train
ing departments. One yard instruc
tor can train about 150 men each year.
The period of training for a green
man varies fro mtwo to eight weeks.
One yard has already trained enough
yard instructors in the training cent
ers to turn out weekly 300 skilled
mechanics within the yard.
In addition to the training of green
men, there exists the problem of tak
ing men who are already skilled in
allied trades, but have never worked
in shipyards, and making them into
shipbulders. This is called a Trade
Conservsion course and consists es
sentially of determining what supple
mentary work a skilled mechanic from
the allied trades must have in order
to give him the necessary knowledge
to do shipbuilding work. Special in
structions are employed in a number
of plants to met this situation.
By training foremen and managers,
the Ship Building Board has been abli

The State Is Asked This Year to Save
3,130 in the aticnal Movement to
Save the Liv esof One Hundred
Thousand.
In spite of the tremendous casualty
lists that are now coming from
France where the lines of battle are
joined on the Western front the dan
ger of life "over there" is not as great
as it is to the children in North Caro
line, according to figures gathered by
the State Board of Health. In other
words, it is less dangerous to be a
solder on the firing line in Flanders
right now than it is to be a baby in
this state.
The Children's Bureau of the Unit
ed States Department of Labor, the
State Boards of Health throughout the
country, and various organizations ol
women all over the United State?
ure this year uniting in the effort to
reduce the deaths among the babies by
at least 100,000 in the Nation. North
Carolina is asked to save the lives of
3,130 babies in this state this year, or
to reduce the number of deaths here
tofore occurring in the state by that
number.
The State Board of Health is heart
ily assisting in this movement, and al
ready the safety of the baby has been
emphasized in a number of communi
ties with displays, exhibits, lantern
slides and lectures furnished by the
board. North Carolina people arc
taking an active interest in the move
ment, and evidently arc determined
to do more tha nis required, as has
been the case in nearly all patriotic
movements inaugurated since the war
began.
In Salisbury the movement is being
helped along by the Save the Seventh
Baby Campaign which is being car
ried on by the ladies of the Grace Mc
Cubbins Missionary Society under the
direction of the Delineator. The
auxilliary survey of this campaign
his been in progress about three
weeks and up to the present time
about two-thirds of the city has been
covered by this Health Inventory,
which it is planned to finish this
week. Then the information gather
ed will be compiled and sent to Dr.
Terry, Health Editor of the Delinea
tor who will map out from it a pro
gram -of saving especially adapted to
the need3 of the city.
wooden ships which has been a long
lost art and workmen in many yards
have increased in efficiency more than
25 per cent. "Where we have efficient
management we have efficient work
ers," Chairman Hurley declared today.
"You can't expect to have efficient
workmen in an inefficiently managed
shipyard nor can you expect good re
sults. Our shipyard workers general
ly are as fine a body of men as is en
raged fn any nidustry in this country.
They are a patriotic, industrious
group, and wftile in many yards they
are not as efficient as we would like
to have them they are learning daily
and are increasing the output. When
the history of shipbuilding program
is written, the American workmen,
the men who really built the ships,
will he the men deserving of any
cdeit that may be due.
SAYS IT ACTED LIKE A CHARM.
Coughs, colds,, sore throac or bron
chial troubles which persist at this
time of the year usually are of an ob
stinate character. That is all the more
reason why a truly reliable remedy
like Foley's Honey and Tar Com
pound should be used. Mrs. Margaret
Smale, Bishop, Calif., writes: "Foley's
Honey and Tar Compound is a grand
remedy; more than is claimed for it.
I was suffering from a cold last weefa
and used the medicine and it acted
like a charm." Contains no opiates.
