FRENCH SOLDIERS PRAISE HEROISM OF AMERICAN HORSES Risk Shell Fire to Get Ambulance Through to Front in Fighting on Territory of Belgium. By La Racontaus. PARIS,. July IS. Soldiers who return hero wounded from the northern front never tire of ' praising the courage of the American ambulance women, who have rapidly become the Idols of our soldiers. Among all the stories about them which I have heard from the lips of men who have seen them working like angels of mercy In the midst of the bloodstained battlefield, I select one at random. "It was In Belgium," the pale soldier told me. "that I first met these heroines, who know no fear. The Getmans were attacking us time and again only to be mown down by our seventy-fives and machine guns. "Suddenly the noise of a motor was heard, coming from the south. It was an ambulance driven by a young woman. Two others accompanied her. They were all Americans. Risk Lives to Advance. "Calmly they left the ambulance, which was partly sheltered by the wall of a house and came towards us through that awful hail of projectiles of all kinds and sizes, conversing as If they were absolutely unaware of any danger. "The tallest of them saluted us.
"I am Miss T ' she said, 'of
the American ambulance corps stationed at C We heard the shooting, so we hurried here. Have you any wounded that you wish us to look after.' "An officer Informed her that so far the regular hospital bad been able to find room for all. "But then we shall wait here until you do need us.' she said. . 'The way they are firing now, it cannot be very long unfortunately.' Refuse to Take Shelter. "The others agreed with her and
they all sat down and talked as if
quite unconscious of their danger. They were splendid. It was twentyfive minutes past eight then. We were
far more worried about them than they imagined, and implored them to
lake shelter. At first they smiled and shook their heas. They felt quite safe, they said, but finally consented to go back a little. "Then they walked away to their motor car and not more than two minutes later a big shell exploded In the very spot where we had been standing, making an enormous hole in the ground. And then will you believe me out they came again and another snapshot had to be taken in the same spot. "A little later I was wounded and placed in their ambulance with several others and oft we went, $fiss T driving and the others attending to our , wounds in the most skillful manner."
STATE HEALTH BOARD WILL FIGHT ALCOHOL
INDIANAPOLIS, July 13. Old King Alcohol, who has more knockouts to his credit than all other fighters of the past century combined, is booked to face a new challenger in the person of Dr. James S. Boyer, president of tbe Indiana state board of health. The basis for the campaign to be launched by Dr. Boyer is the contention that the use of alcohol is productive of disease. A special meeting of the state board of health is in contemplation for the purpose of authorizing the novel battle against the veteran champion and to issue instructions to Dr. J. N. Hurty, state commissioner of health, regarding the manner of proceedure. It is said that this will be the first action of its kind ever taken by the health board and probably the first decisive step taken in tbe state by any administrative body which dealt with the liquor question.

BY LYNN E M. LAMM. WASHINGTON, July 13. Elaborate preparations are being worked out here for the accommodation of 70,000 G. A. R. veterans and their friends who will attend the forty-ninth annual encampment of the organization to be held in) this city from September 27 to October 2. " - A special citizens sub-committee has been appointed to look put for this one feature, and as a result of tbe good work that has already been done and is now under way there will be no exorbitant rates charged in either hotels or boarding bouses. As a part of their work this committee advertised in all of the daily newspapers of this
city asking boarding house proprietors and those who wished to rent to list with them at their headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce all of the data concerning their rooms.
Arrange Information. This information consists of address
es and telephone numbers, prices for
rooms with and without meals, with
and without baths, and in fact every
detail which might be asked by any one intending to rent rooms. This information is tabulated and put into a
card index system. Several persons are at work on this continually and it
is said that hundreds are bringing in
this information.
It is said at the headquarters that good comfortable rooms will be avail
able for the veterans at anywhere I
from 50 cents per day up, without high 1 room rent. Hundreds of letters are being received daily by the chairman of this committee asking about the rooms
and all that is necessary to do is to look at the card index system and one is able to tell just what will suit the inquiring persons. Reservations Made. Reservations have been made for scores of delegations, many of whom wish to be together, as well as for many individuals. It has been a part of the duty of the committee to interview the hotel managers and restaurant proprietors and call .their especial at
tention to the fact that both room and food prices shall be normal. This has been promised and it is thought by the committee that no trouble will be experienced along these lines. - In addition to these accommodations $11,000 was appropriated by Congress Just before the adjournment 'for the erection of public comfort stations and like incidental expenses. This work will be in charge of Major Raymond W. Pullman, Superintendent of Police
of Washington. The Woman's Relief
Corps is to be in charge of the information booths and they will be ably assisted by tbe Boy Scouts.

A PLUMP, STRONG, ROBUST BODY "Before I took Sargol people used to call me 'skinny' but now my name is changed. My whole body is stout. Have gained 15 pounds and am gaining yet. I look like a new man," declared another man who finished the Sargol treatment. Would you, too, like to quickly pnt from 10 to 30 lbs. of good, solid, "staythere" flesh, fat and muscular tissue between your skin and bones. Don't say it can't be done. Try it. More than half a million thin men and women have gladly made the test and that -Sargol does succeed, does make thin folks fat even where all else has failed, is best proved by the tremendous business we have done. No drastic diet, flesh creams, massage, oils or emulsions, but a simple, harm less home treatment. SARGOL has earned such a tremendous reputation for itself that Leo. H. Flhe and other reliable druggists in the vicinity of Richmond will gladly sell it to you under a positive guarantee to refund your money should there be no satisfactory weight increase, Adv.

Hot Weather Conduces to Chronic Constipation and Diarrhea. A disposition to confine one's diet to cold food and to Indulge freely in iced drinks, is one reason why constipation and diarrhoea is so prevalent in summer, and there is no season when bowel disturbances should be more carefully avoided, as much serious disease is dlrectly traceable to these conditions. To regulate the bowels and' quickly relieve even an aggravated case of constipation, the combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is highly rec ommended . by many physicians and all those who have used it.

WHY BAKE These Warm Days?
There is no good reason for any woman, house-wife or servant, to stand over a hot stove and bake bread these days. No woman, no matter how good a cook she may be, can improve on our bread in purity, in taste or in wholesomeness. It isn't possible to produce as good bread as ours with only a regular cooking range to work by. It takes special ovens and special scientific preparation to get just the right degree of even temperature to produce the most nutritious bread and no matter how much you may know about bread baking you cannot accomplish that result to as fine a degree as we can. You could not be expected to. Why work and overheat yourself then? Why spoil your disposition and complexion ? Get the real Genuine
