Cure for Dysentery
“While I was in Ashland Kansas
a gentleman overheard me speaking
of Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy” writes William Whitelaw
of Des Moines Iowa “He told me in
detail of what it had done for his
family but more especially his daugh-
ter who was lying at the point of
death with a violent attack of dysen-
tery and had been given up by the
family physician Some of his neigh-
bors advised him to give Chamber-
lain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy
which he did and fully believes that
by doing so saved the life of his
child He stated that he had also
used this remedy himself with equal-
ly gratifying results"

Washington July 30 — To take
advantage of the German retreat
north of the Marne General Foch
needs all the Americans that can be
rushed to France during the remaind-
er of the summer and early autumn
He is going to get them Hundreds
of thousands of the men of the na-
tional army are trained and ready to
go and every ounce of available al-
lied tonnage will be devoted to car-
rying them ove rseas
The supreme commander of the al-
lied armies has not disclosed his pur-
pose but it is surmised that the Fran-co-American
victories have revealed
the weakness of the boche and made
the launching of the greater counter
offensive an immediate possibility
“With another million Americans
on the job the Germans could be
cleaned out of France and Belgium
before snow flies” said a high war
department official today”
The training of soldiers also Is
to be speeded up Secretary of War
Baker had planned to slow down the
draft machinery beginning with
August 1 He was going to call only
300000 draftees in August compar-
ed with 400000 in July Something
has happened to change the program
At the rate men are now being
called to the colors Class 1 will be
exhausted before congress can put
Into effect the enlarged army plans
involving extension of the draft age
which Secretary Baker has delayed
putting until September
“I will not have any one to draft
in Class 1 and I will have to make a
draft upon Class 2 to fill the quota
for January" said General Crowder
“Everything Indicates that we are go-
ing to continue to make heavy drafts
during the first six months of 1919”
AN OPEN LETER TO
THE CATTLE IN-
SPECTORS TO W B GAY AND F C KRIEGER’
STATE AND COUNTY CATTLE
INSPECTORS O F PONTOTOC
COUNTY: i
On next Tuesday the citizens of
Pontotoc County by a tremendous
vote will nominate me as one of
their two Representatives in the next
Legislature of this State One of the
principal reasons of my nomination
is that I have promised to use my in-
fluence to help fulfil and end the bur-
densome Dipping Law now being used
here
In addressing this letter to you I
do so not with any idea of dictating
to you but to let the people know I
will keep my promise and to get
from you a statement to the public
concernig this law This letter is
published in the following seven pa-
pers in Pontotoc County and I ask
you to reply through them next week
and give the information I here
ask for which will show just
where the matter of ending this law
stands and which will make it un-
necessary for me to address a similar
open letter to the Agricultural De-
partment at Oklahoma City and to
the Federal Department at Washing-
ton The papers are The Ada Week-
ly and Daily News the Ada Star-
Democrat the Ada Pontotoc County
Farmer the Allen Hustler the Roff
Eagle the Francis Wigwam and the
Stonewall News
What percentage of the cattle of
our county are now Infected with
ticks? Why was it necessary for the
Commissioners Court to appropriate
$13000 for this work for the coming
year? Is It true that certain people
whose cattle are Infected are
not required to dip? Ib it true
that men are required to still dip
whose cattle have been free of ticks
for two years? When was the last
federal Inspection made in the coun-
ty and how long do you estimate we
must still dip before the county will
be rid of ticks and the Federal Gov-
ernment will raise it above the line?
I have traveled Into practically ev-
ery community in the county In the
past week and everywhere the people
are sick and disgusted with this law
and if you will answer these ques-
tions as suggested the people can get
light on the subject and If the end of
the law can be brought in sight It
will probably make it unnecessary for
me to agitate the question further
Yours very truly
