Good Bread Builds Health <* No other article, of food is as necessary to the daily weJUbeing of humans as good, wholesome , bread. Housewives should be sure that tho flour they u.ie is clean and pure, and that it has the strength and sweetness of the wheat. All of these qualities are combined in the products of the famous old Piedmont Mills, which have yiood the critical tests of use throuRh the past fifty years. "PIEDMONT" "PURITAN" "ARGUS SELF-RISING" Are more popular today than ever before. Cooks who really appreciate the best of bread, rolls, biscuits and cake know that they art1 cer tain of success When they use these breads. Piedmont Miiis, (inc.)

Kershaw Motor Company Authorized Agents Phone 140 Camden, S. C. SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK Frencft Business Men Rea(li? That Their System of Freight Transpor tation If Obsolete. That the wnr brought to Franc* an ?object lesson In 1 1>?* utility of the motortruck a? a mean* of freight transportation appears lit plan* now under way to develop a Ion# haul system. It I* hoped thereby to quicken the movement of g?M?dH and lessen the Impatience of varlou* business Interests with the slowness of rail way and waterway traftle. The prac ticability of the motortruek as a freight carrier*1 was a revelation to Frenchmen of business who. had de pended in normal times on what would be held an abnormally slow service. From Havre to Paris by boat means often a Journey of at leant three months, and at the .quickest, which requires special arrangement with the government, takes about four weeks. Commenting on railroad transporta tion between Paris and the seaports, a Paris business man Is reported na Haying that from Havre one must ex pect a delay of one or two months, from Jtordcaux a delay of two .or three months, and that "when goods foi Paris reach Marseilles they atay there." The humorous exaggeration Illustrates the condition which Is turning Frenchmen to the hopeful project of long hauls by motortrucks, a solution which will probably de velop because the nation Is already provided with excellent roads. REMINDED HER OF SALMON American Traveler in Europe Con fesses She Would Have Welcomed Dish Once Despised. Kllsabeth Fraser, a traveler and writer, -talking at a diplomatic re cepjluii In Paris about her recent ex periehces in Vienna. "It Is dltllcult. said Miss Fruser, "to satisfy one's hunger there, even at hotels that eost $lf? a day. "Katlng my unappetlztng dish of hashed turnips, which frequently com posed the principal dish of the menu, I thought regretfully of the salmon I once disdained on a Canadian trip." Miss Fraser laughed. "I was traveling In the back coun try of Canada, where 'salmon ? boiled, broiled, in salad, creamed, as cutlets ? figured at every meal and became very monotonous. "'Is t here nothing else for break fust?' I itsUerl the hotelkeeper one moriitn;: as ? whole fish and pot of mustard put before me. "'Nothing else?' the man exclaimed. 'Why, there's salmon enough there foj six. ain't there?' " 'Yes,' 1 admitted, 'but I do not \\ ant salmon.' "'Well, then,' my host replied curt ly, 'lire into the mustard.' " Retrieving Barbed Wire. The problem of retrieving the burled and broken barbed wire on the bat tlefields of Fla.ndern and northern ! France Is being tackled by the British | war office salvage committee, and a ! inacliine for the purpose has been fn j vented and built which is thus de scribed : One truck and trailer carries the whole of the plant, which can work on the most uneven ground. A stout wire rope with a number of hooks Is worked by a winch. As the barbed wire is drawn up it passes -through two sets of rollers, and the salved niet I a! appears in blocks from one foot to IS inches square, and weighing, from 70 to SO pounds, l or smelting It sells for about a ton. The stafT In charge of the scheme thinks that there are 1<K),0(M> toiis"fhat cnti be removed, and It that is the aggregate weight the cost of the -10 outfits said to have been ordered shuold be amply justified.

These mimeographed letters were placed on the copy hoy's desk with In structions to distribute them as soon as the 'staff appeared for work the next afternoon. On the following afternoon there was heard a snort from the office of the society editor, and u usually meek little red-haired beauty came dashing out of her room, waving a piece of paper In her hand. "Where's the city editor?" she demanded. "I'll see why I have to be insulted like this." The assistant dtyv editor tried to calm her. Hut nothing would do but that she see the city editor himself. ' "Well," said the A. C. K., 'it can't be done. He was slewed and we had to send ijm home," Needless to say, there was a new city editor the next afternoon, and the staff gloatingly drank its way to the days of prohibition. -'Lorry A. Jacobs, the Dallas IMspa'tch, in "I'ep," OPERA SUCCEEDS BULL FIGHT Famous Arena In Mexico City Will No Longer Be Scene of Brutal Slaughter. The Teatro el Toro in Mexico City, once one of the most pretentious of bull tight, arenas, Is now the home of grand opera as u result of President Carrauza's decree that bull lights should ceaso. interspersing grand opera; . dancers and concert artists have appeared In the aro^a.-and It is stated that these various forms of amusement will be offered until some definite, action 's taken us to the fu ture of bul I lighting. Jl was in ibis arena that what Is said to be one of file most remarkable spectacles in the history of the sport was staged. A hull, El Honllo, known as one of Ihe fiercest lighters, on being brought into ihe arena charged and killed I brer horses and injured as many men without being touched by the estoque of any matador. As ihe bull stood bellowing defi ance and with no one apparently will ing io attack him, Miguel Hallo, a picador who was a spectator in one of I In- bo'xes. leaped unarmed into the iiiclostire. hi his outstretched hand he carried two lumps of sugar, which he ni>nc|iuij*.ntly offered to the bull. The animal suddenly ceased iis bellowing and in a few momen!s docilely licked the sugar from Hallo's hand. The latter returned unharmed in his box amid the plaudits nf the 'spectators. Anglo-Irish Tunnel. Not only is it thought that the long tnlked-of tunnel between England and France will be constructed nt no re mote date, but there is also talk of a tunnel between England and Ireland. This would restore to a slight extent the geographical* union that existed be tween th<^ two countries In one geologi cal age thousands and thousands of years ago. (Jreat Hrltain and Ireland were then separated only by a great n alley. It Is proposed to carry the tunnel from some point on the coast of Lan cashire to the nearest point in Antrim or down on the Irish coast, a subma rine length of 24 miles. One of the great benefits of Die tunnel would ha that It would shorten the transatlantic Journey by at least 48 hours. It would also help the Irish cattle trade and the shipping of perishable goods, especial ly fish, to English markets. Estimates of the cost of the proposed tunnel vary from $.r),000.0<M> to $80,000,000. He Had One Better. Out' of our honest old farmers came homo and found a sewing-machine man In the house demonstrating to the women what flrn1 work It would do. The agent asked the farmer to brine in a shingle, and said: "I will show you that the Wonder Worker machine will d<? heavy work, for I will stitch right across the tip of the shingle where it Is at least one-sixteenth of nil inch thick." "Not Interested," said the farmer. "Over 'crost here 'hout three miles northeast a young man huilt a house last stnnmer, and 1 11 ho durned If his wife didn't take her Mechanical Mar vel sewln' machine and stitch on ev'ry bin me course of clapboards, from gable to eaves, clean down to the Rills."
