RATHER
DIE THAN
SUFFER
Former Trained Nurse Suffered
Intensely With Rheumatism
and Other Ailments, But Sul
ferro-Sol Gave Her Relief.
“Formerly I was a nurse and a pre.it
number of my former patients still live
in Biimmgham." said Mrs. Hattie D.
English. 7324 Hillman Ave., Blrming
ham. Ala. ‘But 1 had to give up nursing
because of rheumatism, kidney ard blad
der trouole. I become an invalid my
self 1 got so bad tha: I would have
preferred to die rather than liv2 in the
misery 1 was in. T tried many doctors.
None helped me. I tried about every
remedy without getting any help what
ever. I tried to keep house but had to
give it up and for three years was not
able to do a thing. Now. however, a
most wonderful change has come to me
and T feel as though I'd like to spend
all my time telling about it. Awhile
ago 1 heard of Sulferro-Sol and com
menced to take it. In two weeks 1 was
a different person. Tt has proven a
miracle for me. I am now 72 years old.

well as I did at sixteen. There were
times when I could not have attempted
to walk two blocks alone but now j can
outwalk many younger women My affec
tions seem to have simply vanished. Why
it’s more than a recovery. It's a great
wonderful blessing. I only wish 1 could
tell every one of .t. My neighbors are
amazed at the change in me. 1 do not
think there is another remedv it all the
world that compares with Sulferro-Sol
for sheer medicinal value. As a nurse
J’ve seen and known of probably almost
every remedv. I've‘taken dozens of them
myself but Sulferro-Sol is the only one
that not only helped me but cured me
and made me as well and sound as 1 was
when a girl.’*
Everybody that uses Sulferro-Sol con
siders it a wonderful medicine. It will
relieve the worst cases of Indigestion.

BOOZE A LA CREOLIN

Three Arrests
Pouring booze into creolin water or
Otherwise disposing of it when' the offi

FINAL MEETING ON
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Committee of Ten Will Meet
This Afternoon Looking to
Permanent Organisation
The committee of ten, appointed by
Dr. J. S. Jenkins to submit a plan
of organization and nominations for
officers for a permanent Community
Service in Augusta will hold its finul
meeting at the Soldiers’ Club this af
ternoon. The committee consists of
MrM. Bryan Cummings, Mr. F. 1.,. Mar
shall, Mrs. L. S. Arrington, Mrs. W.
R White, Mrs. J. I’. Mulherin, Mrs.
W. C. Kellogg, Mr. London Thomas,
Mr. Marion ltidgley, Mr. Moses Slusky
and Mr. J. E. Probyn.
They have held several sessions and
have given every aspect of the question
involved very careful consideration.
Their report and recommendations will
he submitted to a general meeting to
be called next week.
The great aim of Community Service
is to. foster those things which bring
the residents of a community together,
thereby increasing the real interest in
community welfare and stability. In
general its program is carried out
along recreational lines, hut there is
no limit to the variety of work it may
undestake.
The Institute in Games and Play, In
Erie, Pennsylvania, has been teaching
people of every age how to play; and
the result is illuminating. There is
a certain magic in these games, lor
even those who are inclined to be re
calcitrant at the beginning, end by
urging other to attend. One principal,
it is said, who for a long while had
been unwilling to grant more time to
physical recreation during school
hours, voluntarily introduced a fifteen
minute play period into the school day
alter attending the classes. One eve
ning two women between fifty and
sixty years of age asked admission to
the class, to represent the Mothers of
Democracy," and organization consist
ing of mothers of men who served in
the army. They made this request af
ter hearing the enthusiastic description
of the games from four women of their
organization.
Recreation as a constructive factor
is recognized by a Methodist Bishop
in one of the war production centers,
who declared to the Community organ
izer that the church is .strongly in
need of the provision of recreation for
its young people, since the Methodist
Church has always told its young peo
ple what they could not do, and never
provided things that they might do.
The promotion of Boy Scout activi
ties as a part of BeUiretiem Communi
ty Service in co-operation with the
Boys' Scout Executive is succeeding
through school and churches by means
of addresses to various groups. One
Saturday was set aside for a hike to
which every boy in Bethlehem was in
vited but an unkind weatherman pro
vided stormy weather that was detri
mental to the success of lhe plan.
However, one hundred and fifty boys
attended. Publicity concerning the ex
cellent work done for the Bethlehem
boys reached the vice-president of the
Bethlehem .Steel Company, who rnani
flested his appreciation by donating the
necessary cups and banners to be
awarded the schools for splendid ac
tivity.
Not only approval, but practical fjs
sistanCe, is the attitude of the Amer
icanization Director of the Bethlehem
Sweet Company apd the moving picture
men toward the performances of Com
munity Service in Bethlehem In
churches and.halls. r -oo rjrmvr per
mitted the organizer here to use the
film, “An American in the Making,”
for one church entertainment, and the
latter even go to the extent of occas
ionally furnishing operators In addition
to the films.
Community Service for the eleven
thousand Italians living in Chester,
Pennsylvania, constitutes a community
service department in itself ami is
under the leadership of an Italian who
Is experienced in welfare and Indus
trial work, and a splendid singer in
addition. From the first, the varied
programs of entertainment at the
Franklin fiehool Centier were popular,
and the meetings have proved a veri
table mine of discovery for musical
.and dramatic talent among the Ital
ians. Promptly at 8 o'clock every
Thursday evening the several hundred
members of the huge “family gather
ing" appear in the auditorium to en
joy community singing, solos, short
dramas, athletic exhibitions and other
entertaining features.

ARTHUR B. JENKINS’
WAR DIARY
His story of his regular summer trips
to Atlantic City, attired in white flannel
trousers, blue serge coat, and straw hat.
wero amusing, inasmuch ns he was never
any closer to Atlantic City than Camp ,
Merritt, N. J. A couple of days later
when Red Cross boxes were issued out,
this mail hte Ins way into the hospital.
Between noon and four o’clock he ate two
large bowls of thick fish soup, drank two
large bowls of coffee, at least two quarts,
ate ten French biscuits, two with a bowl
of thick soup. (This last is a meal for
any man) 21 American hardtacks, nearly
a pound of jam. and a day’s ration of
bread, then complained, when sick, that
1 he. didn’t eat much. Within u couple of
days, be had eaten a week’s supply of
food, besides German food, and had soon
landed in the hospital, tho* victim of
human hogishuess.
Day after day (almost) new men ar
rived. Of these men. one of the men
reduced from corporal to private, on May
27th, I was compelled to unmask, for'
the good of the other men as a profes
sional crook. Some years ago, he flood
ed his home town, Beaver Falls. Pa., with
forged checks, then enlisted in the IJ S.
cavalry, leaving his poor, hardworking
widowed mother to hear the bikini. For
her sake he being out of the way, the
matter was dropped. About 2 1-2 years
later, he was kicked out of the army. In
June,.1916, he in some unknown way got
into Co. B, 10th Pa. infantry for duty on
the Mexican border. By virtue of liis fine
line of "bull" he obtained a eorporalshlp,
but soon lost it. He became Major
M ’s orderly, then followed more seri
ous trouble, and had it not been for the
recall of the regiment, he would now be
serving a long, and well deserved term
in the military prison at Fort Heaven
worth. Kansas. Daily in 1917 ho amused
himself stealing two horses and a buggy,
which he sold.
At Blequem France, after two good
and one worthless corporals had been re
duced to ranks, he in company with two
other worthless pieces of humanity was
made a corporal. Instead of trying to re
deem himself, he immediately! in com
pany with another of the new appointees)
formed a combination of thieves, natural
born ones, also non-corns. This quartet
robbed the poor peasants of eggs, chick
ens and vegetables, and cooked them In
the woods at night, or whenever a good
opportunity, safe from detection ofTerxrt
itself. He was a good friend to any per
son who had money, while they had any
And he, why Tom pepper, whom w« are

ing our absence. Upon our return, one
man around whoso bunk he had boon
loafing all morning, reported bis bread
missing. This confirmed our suspicions,
and wo decided lo lay for him, but ho
got wise to us and quit all his pernicious
habits, except lying, handshaking and
gumming. His tales wore quite lurid, ho
proved himself a worthy rival of Baron ,
Munchausen.
Tills time Major .Tos. IT Thompson and
Captain Wm. Fish saved him from tho
Western penitentiary. At Camp Hancock,
he was again made a corporal, and con
tinued to borrow money and obtain It
under false pretenses, even forging the
name of a member of his squad to n post
office money order, and obtaining S3O. In
France he robbed a benefactor (while be
slept) of a wallet containing sll, and a
churn of mine of a brand new shirt, which
he sold to a British Tommy. At another
place, he robbed another comrade of a
pair of russet dress shorn arid sold them.
While i am dealing with some of the
unpleasant features of prison life, j will
Include two causes of great annoyance
to us, one In the person of a little Dutch
corporal, who likes t<» oee how lone Its
ran detain us at roll call, and who, when
the Jerries are getting an unusually good
drubbing at the front, takes great de
light. when it is raining In lining us up,
several times in the space nt an hour or
less, on some pretext or other, and keep
ing us in the rain for some time. Ho
likes to call us swinen, meaning plggerle,
thereby likening us to a pigpen. He
would be a fine guest of honor at a tar
and feather party In the good old IJ. S. A.
Another cause is Dr. Host, a German Jew,
said to be a doctor or psychology, but
whether it is at a home for the feeble
minded or some such institution, I can not
say lie is the official Interpreter and
mail censor here.
