Send for This Bulletin. A Bulletin entitled "The Farra Kitchen as a Werk Shop" has just been pub. ished by the department of Agriculture. I wish*every woman would write for this free bulletin, No. 607, because it will make each one of us se** our kitchen as we never saw ii before, and because our department avants to have a contest about the best arranged kitchen some time alter Christmas. Let us read this bulletin and be thinking and planning. This bulletin discusses not merely the proper location of the kitchen with reference to other parts of the "no?s?7~t)?t ~givps details as ito the best methods ot treating its floors and wails, and gives well tested floor plans for ihe step-saving ar rangement of the sink, stove, table, and other kitchen utilities. The author of the bulletin, in her introduction, states that a small compact kitchen saves many steps and much useless labor in the prepa ration of food. This, however, is in : homes where the kitchen is merely a work shop, and no. used also as a general purpose room where meals are served and where the family gathers to e^iov the warmth of the stove. Even where a large kitchen is needeo. for such purposes, how ever, a lo rical arrangement of its various features with relation to each other will enable the housewife to do her work much more efficient ly.

In trying to get away from alco hol one should avoid its most dan gerous form-patent medicine. There is "depe" for every sympfon known to the sedentary worker for headaches, for listlessness, for indigestion, for nervousness, etc.; they bear different names, and look and taste different, but most of them have alcohol as their chief ingredi ent, several brands containing as high as forty per cent alcohol, those containing ten and fifteen percent being legion. Those which do not contain harmful quantities of mor phine, cocaine and other drugs. Proprietary medicines, indeed, are absolutely worthless. They relieve headaches and other pains that affect the worker, but the relief is only temporary; they remove the sensa tion without at the same time re moving the cause; the headache goes on just the same, but our nerves are benumbed and we do not sense it. They seem to relieve fatigue, too, but the real effect is to inject into the system virulent poisons that paralyze nerve and muscle tissue, -cripple the liver, kidneys, and other organs, and work havoc with the digestion, until ultimately the drug habit becomes fixed and the victim ends in a sanitorium, or dies, a physical, moral and mental wreck. -Good Health.

Let os who feel the thrill of southern patriotism only through a father's or mother's experience be not indifferent to the truths of his tory, the fact too often perverted. Rather let us join hands with those who fought, and sing praises to a glorious cause. But time, like a riv er, carries off the jagged edges of sentiment and halved between to great nations. As the years pass on, they carry farther away the scenes and schisms of other days. The two flags have been rewoven into one; the southern boy has gone into the war service of the United States, weaiing the bine coat, but the gray hat. He belongs to one of the three classes. He is known as the Ameri can soldier. Hi? is not that patriot ism which inspired his father or un cle. His is a desire to du his coun try a service and gain for himself a name for heroism. Though he wore the blue and marched to the tune of 'Yankee Doodle," if a southerner, a true southerner he will be forever. In Manila and at Vera Cruz he is an American volunteer soldier, but he is more, he is a southern Ameri can volunteer soldier. The Ameri can soldier is the product of a na tion which could not wear a yoke. (I mean the Anglo-Saxon race), they were born to govern, to be free, to create, to build a social and politi cal structure, mighty and masterful. The soldier of to-day has the old time enthusiasm of his race. He h'ghts as hard, he goes into battle urged by the same zeal; he fires, falls or dies in the same way; that was manifested la??t year at Vera Cruz. The soldier blood of fore fathers flows in the boys of 1915. At Kines mountain, at Bunker Hill, at Chickamauga, and at Franklin their ancestors fought amid the kill ed and wounded. The sword scar in the father's breast has its impress upon the hearts of the boys of to day. The battle ?'.ry is not hushed, the tramp of feet not still: the de sire to rise, go and meet the enemy, is only sleepingjlike the picket at his post. But one rustle among the dry leaves, one motion of a bough, and an army is awake, ready to march. The soldier of fortune seldom reaps his reward. So it is with the soldier of adventure. But the soldier of duty, of patriotism, oftentimes re turns a victor to wear the honors of a nation's admiration, or else he falls fighting for a principle taught at the fireside at home. He dies a man and in ?he winding sheet of a nation's love is laid to rest under the sky; no flowers but the stars, the "forget-me-nots of the angels," no monument but the bills, God's sen tinels to the plains, no tears but the showers of the sky, fho prayers but the sighing of the wind through the pines. The blending o: the old spirit of 1861 with the men of 1915 makes the soldier of the present, a manly man, a soldierly soldier. He is a creature of interest everywhere; he wears a halo no other can hope to gain. Why do we say that? Because he is linked in our minds with sol diers of other days, and in reflecting upon him we mean a subtle charm in which we find the ?knight of oth er Jays. This true southern Ameri can soldier bears our national col ors in life, he wears them in death, and with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven, his soul passes into the great beyond; his body laid to sleep beside a friend that died as he died, fighting for his country. I believe that where a sol dier left his home and all that was dear and sacred to defend his coun try, actuated from pure motives, as did the Confederate soldier, and fell in battle, is, by some means, by the boundless grace of God, over yonder across the river undei the shade of the trees, and that it is well with him. The curse of God is pronounced upon a people that will not fight for their country when it is necessary. "Curse ye Meroz," said the angel of the Lord, "curse ye bitterly the inhabitants thereof, because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the mighty." J.

Hands Should be Washed Be fore Carrying Food to the Mouth. The hands carry a great many germs to the mouth, and thus to the throat and alimentary tract, and it does not occur to the owner once in a dozen times that he is anything but clean. Just watch yourself or any member of the family, and you will find illustrations of what I mean. Did you ever see a tired farmer come in, wash well, sit down and re mark that his feet are tired, and ask one of the children to bring him his shoes'? He will change his shoes, which may have come in contact with any filth or infection, give a sigh of relief, peel and eat an apple, diving morsels to the children. A case has come to my attention of a doctor who got a bad sore on his lip. He recognized it as caused ny a germ not usually present on clean living people. His little girl had become infected from his kiss ing her. He traced it to its source and found that he took the horse to the stable, came in, washed his hands, and donned his slippers. The stable man had been the source of infection and they had been car ried by the doctor's hands from his shoes to his mouth. It is a good plan to warn chil dren of the value of washing the hands after handling their shoes. One of the first requisites of a good nurse is to wash her hands after touching one patient before handing any food to another patient. The religious certtnony of the He brews which involved the washing of the hands has gone a long way towards making the Jews the vii ile race they are to-day. We can learn a lesson from them-washing the hands well after touching the shoes in any way is a sensible, protective measure.-Progressive Farmer. Prohibition 1915. The question of prohibition has been ordered to be submitted to the people September 14th of this year. Prohibition was not advocated be cause of any tearful sentiment, but as a measure for the good of the state, for the promotion of its le gitimate business, and the strength ening of itii manhood. The question of sentiment is a big one and no man of ordinary knowledge will fail to understand that the hope of parents for their children is more often shattered by liquor than any-" thing else. The tears of mothers and wives, the heart wounds of those whose tender nurture for useful liv ing is vitiated by a practice legal ized bv our 8tate,hallowed the cause of prohibition and breathed an eter nal curse on alcohol. From that sen timent was implanted th3 doubt of the moral right of a government to legalize a poison as a beverage. But of recent yeajs the men of large affairs have seen the inefficiency of men who drink. It is from business men that the new stimulus to prohi bition comes. The whangdoodle politician has no ideals or imagina tion; but the men of affairs are is suing orders agaiusr the indulgence in liquor by employees. Any man who has even one man in his em ploy cannot favor liquor. Farmers know the effect of liquor on their help, as well a? merchants and bankers. Even in war we now must have sober men.Prohibition will win in South Carolina, not because of 'windjamming," as spokesmen for liquor interests might inelegantly say, but because there is a moral sentiment and business demand for the movement.-Manning Herald. All Commutation Tax Delin quents, Read This From Supervisor. To The People of Edgefield County: We find from the Treasur er's office that only $1770 of the commutation tax has been paid in. The total paid to same date last year amounted to from $5,000 to $0,000. The difference is due to more than one reason, the main one being "hard times." The Legislature has changed the law and fixed it again at $2.00 oi six days, and people in all parts of the county are willing to work rath er than pay. In those localities where people so prefer, we will le gally appoint overseers, and parties desiring to work out commutation can do so under said overseers, and will not be bothered with the chain gang authorities as heretofore. The overseers may work the delinquentf at such times, in their discretion, as will best suit the farming interests, Signed, A. A. Edmunds, Jas. DeVore, N. L. Broadwater. Personal Salvation.

Somebody has asked the question, which is now being very widely dis cussed in the newspapers, "Can a politician be a Christian?" If it were true that politics is, according to the formal definition, ' the sci* ence of government," the question might not be difficult to answer; but unfortunately, politics is not al ways what the definition represents Bossism, graft, and temptation in many forms that make principles subservient to interest are among its characteristics. Yet politics, in the best sense, cannot be said to be incompatible with Christianity. There are doubtless many Christian men occupying political posts-men of sterling principle, devoted to the truest and best ideals and who can not be swerved from their concep tion of what is right. Such men are among the leaders of thought and action in every generation, and their adherence to the teachings of Christ need not be questioned. There are many callings of which it can be said that their degration or elevation depend wholly upon the individual. We have Christian statesmen, Christian soldiers and Christians in other activities. It was not designed by the founder of Christianity that his followers should keep themselves from those occupations in which they might occasionally meet with temptation, but rather that they should remaiu and by resisting temptation act as a spiritual leaven for the whole. They are to be in the world, yet not worldly; sanctified and kept from the evils of the world, as He was sanctified, that others may be led to believe through their example. This, then, is the real test of Christianity; when a man can carry into his busi ness, whether he be a merchant, a professional or day laborer, the mode and thought and action that are characteristic of high principles, it is his duty to remain there. Re ligion can never raise the standard of a nation or a community if it is to be exclusive. It is by doing our dutv wherever we may happen to be placed, and by stimulating others to do likewise that we can vindicate our title. Christianity does not and should not incapacitate any one for any of the real tasks of life. If a man is in business which he regards as being in direct conflict with Christian principles, then it is his duty as a Christian to get out of it. But the good citizen is not an as cetic, to withdraw himself because ms surroundings may not measure up to his standard, but one who does a mairs share of the work that falls to his hands, and who in the doing lifts and vitalizes all around him. We need Christians in politics ae we need them in every ot^erlield of ordinary duty, and the more the better.-Christian Herald. TESTED AND PROVEN.
