November 18, 1914.
I lie war continues, but as
winter comes on the fighting
slackens somewhat. The armies
will probably eo~ into winter
quarters before any decisive
lighting is done, and there is
^ little hope that peace will be
considered this winter.
There is an idea among the
people that the best rations must
be served on Sunday and that
any old thing will do during the
week. Just why this is true this
writer has never been able to
~^Nj?ee. During the week the body
gets plenty of exercise and the
appetite is sharpened for food
to restore the worn out tissues of
the body, and eating is a real
pleasure as well as a necessity.
I he cooks iliink anything will
do to eat on Monday or Wednes
day or Thursday or any of the
week-da\s, but when Sunday
conies there must be twice as
much food prepared and it must
consist of as many of the good
things as can he had. Little ex
%e.rcise is taken on Sunday, the
day of rest. The stomach is
loaded with the richest of foods
and a drowsy feeling follows,
accompanied by headaches and
other aches. The average hu
man is in worse condition for
the proper observance of the
holy sabbath on this particular
day than any other day of the
week. How can a man proper
Iv worship his Maker when ho
is hiding' several pounds' of rich
food for wich his body does not
call?

Women and children and
other non-combatants in He!
gium are facing starvation and
misery as a result of the cruel
war that has been waged within
the borders of the plucky little
country. Winter is upon them
and they are homeless and hungry.
Their homes and their
crops have been destroyed, ami

They are the innocent victims
of the cruel poliSy of the rulers.
Poverty and misery has beer I
lhrust upon them. They are no
more to 1 lame for their condition
than you, the render of
these lines.
Americans are responding no I
bly to the cry for bread, and'
thousands are being fed with
food from America.
Rockefeller is using liis mil
lions to aid these sufferers, and
the people all over the land are
beginning to contribute. A relief
committee has been appointed
in Columbia, and a commit
tee is being arranged for each
county to receive all contribu
tions of money, foodstuffs and
clothing, and forward to the
proper authorities. By no
means has the need been met,
and there are thousands of
mouths calling to YOU tor food
and clothing. Anv contribution
in money may be sent direct lo (
K. W. Ilolcombe, Columbia, S.

.contributions of foodstuffs and ,
clothing should lie held and de (

Morgan's Goat.
t'hil:i<k?lphin Totegr:?|?h.
Congressman Ir.mk O.Smith
of Maryland, smiicd the other
evening when the quotation,
"Necessity is the mother of invention,"
was used at a Washington
dinner. He said he was
reminded of Morgan's goat.
Some time ago a man from
the citv called on Morgan, who
lives in the suburbs, and while
sitting on the veranda he noticed
some children playing with a
goat and wagon on the adjacent
lawn.
"Say,Jim," suddenly remarked
the visiter, as the team came
nearer, "what in the world is the
matter with that goat?"
"Nothing is the matter with
him," was the easy rejoinder of
Morgan. "Why?"
"He looks peculiar," returned
the city man, with a puzzled expression.
"What is that thino
on ilk* front part of his head?"
"Boxin glove," was the smil
ing rejoinder of Jim. "I strap
ped it there to make things a
a little bit easier for the kids."

Wadesboro Ansonian
Mr. W. Ilenrv Gulledge spent
a day in White Store township
last week and captured a strange
bird, supposed by some of the
more credulous to be a German
carrier pigeon. Others^lnnk it
must be a sage hen, a coot or a
home raised bird at least. Mr,
i Gulledge thought it was a duck
but found that it could fly very
little, having the appearance of
a water fowl. It has beautiful
red eyes (red by nature) and
