WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2 DON’T OVERDO ORJVER-EAT But If You Do. a Few Doses of Black-Draught May Prevent Serious Trouble. Nowata, Okla.—Mr. W. B. Dawson, of this place, says: “I have known ot Blaek-Drausht ever since I can re rnemoer. and of all the liver medicines I evei used. is without doubt the best. We would not be without it in the house. I used to take pills and different things, but after taking a course ot strong medicine I would be left in a constipated condition, and would need then to use a laxative. But after t began to take Black-Draught I did not have any trouble of this kind. I take a big dose at night and follow a few nights with lighter doses, and I atn like a new man until I overdo or overeat and neglect to take care ot myself until the liver gets out of fix, when 1 have to go to Black-Draught again. Black-Draught I have ‘found is all that is necessary for the bloated feel ing in the stomach, sour stomach or bad taste in the mouth so common in spring in the swampy country. I be lieve it mere people took it, there wouldn’t”be so many having chills as do.” Try Thedford’s Black-Draught. At ail druggists.—adv.

Early this morning the trucks of the Machine Gun School, loaded with about half of th* enlisted men, left Camp Hancock for Camp Henning, at Columbus, Ga. The rest of the men, numb -ring about 250, will leave this afternoon at 4 o’clock via. the Georgia railroad. The caretakers' companies left in Camp Hancock Include about 150 men. In ad dition to these there are about 100 men attached to the fire companies, quarter masters’ corps and f.’nance offices. Prob ably these men will b * v lie re six weeks or move. Base Hospital plans have not y i b'en definitely formulated. \i th' Remount Station, out. on the MilledgevlH© road, there remain about 300 men. They will be stationed then indefinitely. The hospitality which Augusta has ex tended to the forces stationed here has b -en unexcelled by any camp community in the country. In leaving Augusta, of ficers and men have expressed their ap preciation in unstinted terms. The closing of the camp does not mean the immediate closing of the work of thn War Camp Community Service, of which Wm. H. Barrett is the head. The Sol diers’ Clubs, which the service has maintained will continue indefinitely. The home hospitality and the eni'rtaln ment program which has been followed will be even more needed than ever sot the few men left in camp. The War Camp Community Service Is appealing for special help in providing wholesome pleasures for these men. Home enter tainments. Sunday dinners and current magazines are particularly wanted. MURDERED WOMAN FOUND IN HOUSE Police Arrest Suspect in Con nection With Death of Susie Jones, Colored. The body of Susie Jones, colored, was found Tuesday afternoon in a room at her residence, 1418 Wrightsboro Road, with a bullet through the bead and another through the breast. The woman was ap parently murdered during Monday night. The discovery was made by a colored insurance agent named Martin, who call ed at the woman’s house to collect week ly dues. As there was no response to his rapping at the door, Martin, realizing that something must be wrong, entered and found the woman’s body. He no tified the police, who in turn notified Cor oner R. E. Elliott. Later in the day. as the results of in vestigations by Plainclothesmaffi Dean and Officer Newsome, a negro was arrested on suspicion. No charges had been dock eted against him Wednesday morning, as investigations were still under way. It is thought that robbery was the mo tive of the apparent murder. The victim, who was about 35 years old, was slightly crippled and was known by her neighbors to carry a purse about her neck. The purse was found near her body. It was open, and the money It was supposed to have contained was missing. The verdict of the coroner’s jury was that the woman came to her death from pistol shots inflicted by an unknown party.

Bailey Here •.day Tells of Merman Treachery Colonel Bailey was in the cltv yester day for the purpose of establishing a re cruiting office for the army, told the fol lowing story of German treachery and violation of the Hague tribunal, just pre vious to the American attack on Vaux last July. Colonel Bailey was then major in command of the Fifteenth Field Artil lery. which was adjustin':' shrapnel tire upon the railroad embankment between Vaux and Tlouresches. During the afternoon, it was noticed from a forward artillery observing post, that long rows of stretchers wore passed continually to and from tl;e German lines in this vicinity. Whenever these stretch er-bearers came Into range the American artillery held its tire to allow them to pass, as it was believed that they con tained wounded. Colonel Bailey says: "Quite naturally, we thought our shrapnel fire was doing great execution, so as the prisoners came in on the day of the attack, T finestioned many of them, with an idea of getting Information ns to our marksmanship. You can imagine my surprise wlton. upon closely questioning one of the prisoners, who seemed to be talkative. I elicited the information that we had done very little damage, as the machine gunners back of the railroad were well dug in. and when I ask* d the prisoner why, then, so many stretchers had been passed to and from these positions, he replied** ‘Oh, that was the easiest way we could carry am munition to the machine guns.’ ” The army recruiting office here is In charge of Corp. 1.

In this connection it might lie added that Messrs. Haroutinian nre both full fledged American:-;, and while born in the old country, both are loyal ami pat riotic Americans and arc considered by all who know them as young men of sterling qualities and substantial citi zens.
