p NEWS FROM CAMP PIKE O
o
oooooooooooooo^
That his heavy army pack saved his
life is the belief of Lawrence Ernest
Keathley of Enola, the first Faulkner
county man wounded overseas to re
turn to Camp Pike. Keathley was
wounded twice on October 0, within
16 minutes after going over the top
for the first time. This happened on
th® Verdun front, in the salient
where so many casualties occurred.
A machine gun bullet first hit Keath
ley in the left arm. Then a piece of
shrapnel cut through his pack and
lodged in his back. His wounds are
r healing and he expects soon to return
f§.l to Faulkner county.

There were just 23 Arkansas men
among the wounded of St. Aignan
tissual Company No. 410 arriving
I here from overseas last week for dis
5 charge. The remainder of the com
: pany of 154 comprised Oklahoma,
Texas and Louisiana men. Many of
them praised the Y. M. C. A., secre
taries with their organizations for
the attention and service rendered
them in camps and at the front,
o o o
If More than 100 corps men and con
valescents have already enrolled in
the classes being organized at the
f base hospital Y. M. C. A. as part of
the Vocational school established by
the government. The instruction of
the corps men has been delegated to
the Y.' M. C. A. The instruction of
convalescents wounded will be by ex
| perts provided by the government,
ment. Instruction in any trade or oc
. cupation desired will be given, the
U teachers being drawn from among
the Y. M. C. A. educational forces or
the army. Two wards at the hos
■»; pital are being fitted with equipment
for use in teaching the soldiers,

Sergeant Robert A. Ford of Camp
I Pike has received a letter from his
brother, Fred A. Ford, who gives a
graphic description of a battle in
which he took part in France, “There
is a wonderful brotherhood in the
American Army” he says telling of
the dividing of a piece of bread with
a Greek and an Indian from Wyom
ing. “Speak a good word for the Y.
g.™*—- —
M. C. A., the Red Cross and the K. of
C. They are wonderful—the soldier’s
only friend. Never a favor refused.”
| The “Y’ men and the K. of C. men
came through shell fire where we
were pocketed by German artillery,
| with smokes, stationery and choco
j late, services were said by the Y
chaplain in dense woods, drizzling
rain, mud a foot deep.

Auction Sales at the Remougt De
pot at Camp Pike of army horses and
mules will continue throughout Feb
ruary, it has been announced. Four
sales were held in January, 2,350 an
imals being sold. Two thousand
horses and mules are to be sold in
February, the first sale to take place
this week. Dates for the remaining

$89, and for mules $144.

About 1,500 soldiers were discharg
ed from Camp Pike last week,includ
ing overseas men and those sent from
other cantonments. Camp Pike is
ahead of all camps in demobilization,
o o o
Because of complaints of non-de
livery of letters and packages, or
ders have been issued that a commis
sioned officer be detailed to receive
and distribute mail in each battalion
or unit in Camp Pike.

and are praising the gorgeous weath

ball season seems in full ‘blast, judg
ing from the many squad games to be
seen each afternoon. Basketball and
volley ball attract many, and the au

places in the evenings when soldier

Carrying two pistol bullets—one in
his pocket and the other in his back
near the spine—Luther E. Barnett of
Elmo City is undergoing rehabilita
tion treatment at the base hospital.
He was wounded four times at Fis
mes, in the Crateau-Thierry front, on
the night of August 25, when an out
post of eight Americans was attacked
by a raiding party of 30 Germans.
“They were after prisoners, but they
didn’t get them,” remarked Barnett.
The bullet near his spine entered in
the right side of the chest and went
nearly through his body. His other
wounds were in the right hand, left
leg and left arm. Barnett says he
received good treatment in I* ranee.
“The French people were kind, and
the Y. M. C. A. had three or four men
with us at the front.” He says Ger
man women, clad as men were found
among Hun prisoners.

38-ACRES OF MANGANESE
LAND BROUGHT $100,000.
A deed was filed for record in the
recorder’s office yesterday, says the
Batesville Guard, in which the con
sideration was for the sum of $100,
000 involving the sale of a 38 acre
tract of manganese land near Pen
ter’s Bluff. The deed carried one
hundred dollars in revenue stamps.
The grantor is J. B. Harvey, Jr.,
and grantee the Manganese Cave
Mines Inc., which is composed of
prominent citizens of Batesville. Re
cently Mr. Harvey, in doing prospect
work on this land, dug into a huge
cave literally lined with high grade
manganese ore. The walls of the
cave on either side from entrance
back for several hundred feet present
a solid face of ore varying from 8 to
12 feet. This mine will certainly
prove a bonanza to its owners, as the
ore exists in such vast quantity and^
so easily mined and accessible to
transportation

Get the Habit of
Drinkihg Hot Water
Before Breakfast
Says we can’t look or feel right
with the system full
of poisons.
Millions of folks bathe Internally
now instead of loading their system
with drugs. “What’s an inside bath?"
you say. Well, it is guaranteed to per
form miracles if vou could believe
these hot water enthusiasts.
There are vast numbers of men and
women who, immediately upon arising
in the morning, drink a glass of real
hot water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it. This is a very
excellent health measure. It is in
tended to flush the stomach, liver, kid
neys and the thirty feet jf intestines
of the previous day’s waste, sour bile
and indigestible material left over in
the body which if not eliminated every
day, become food for the millions of
bacteria which infest the bowels, the
quick result is poisons and toxins
which are then absorbed into the blood
causing headache, bilious attacks, foul
breath, bad taste, colds, stomach trou
ble, kidney misery, sleeplessness, im
pure blood and all sorts of ailments.
People who feel good one day and
badly the next, but who simply can
not get feeling right are urged to
obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store.. This
will cost very little but is sufficient
to make anyone a real crank on the
subject of internal sanitation.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so limestone phosphate and
hot water act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. It Is vastly more
important to bathe on the inside than
on the outside, because the skin pores
do not absorb impurities into the
blood, while the bowel pores do.'
