out KING SOLOMON
WAS A WISE OLD SOU)
'Knew How to Save Hit Shekels By
r Putting Them Into Safest Investments
Bankers Could Find.
Old King Solomon was a wise bird.
He distributed a lot of mighty good
sdrice.
** But he is dead.
> You are alive. You will have to
make your own decisions and determine
your own course oC action and
your own future. It will not do you a
3bK of srood to try to communicate
^ h Sol and hare him so Ire your
- /" problems for you.
. If you got his ear, you probably
Tould not take Ms adrice.
You will have to acquire your wisdom
as Sol acquired his, by gaining a
I broad view-point and taking advantage
of your own experience and that
vi others. Solomon was a mason before
he was a king and a miner as
well, 'so Ms view-point probably would
t be much different from that of
v-.se workers of the present day.
You may be sure that the high cost
living was & probitiSi in Ho)orooe's
* .f m well as in 2 ?19 and that the
? ^rchasing power of a aheksl, minted
from the gold of Ophtr, fluctuated Just
i as does the dollar minted at PMladelphla.
But Solomon fc&ew that thrift and
saving, the stimulation of production
.nzfil the elimination of waste woultt
solve those problems Just as the wise
> working man knows it today. He laid
up a lot of coir, through safe and conservative
investment just as wise
men and women have put money for
the future in Liberty Bonds, Treasury
Savings Certificates and War Savings
C*amps. Also there is no record that
an/one ever took any of that coin
t away from Old Sol by inducing him to
speculate in wild cat stocks.
He left one bit of advice, the wisdom
of which the years have not
- ? changed. He said: "A , good man
le&veth an lnhertance to his children's
children."

in War Saving Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates and in
Ldberty Bonds at present prices.
These securities bought now will be
er. inheritance for your children's
eK;dren.
Aol had to get wise.
Ton can get wise just as he did. If
itfjis fail to save you will repent
through many years.

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
OUTLINES REMEDY
Tell? How High Cost of Living Prot>
Jems May Be Solved by Every
Man and Woman.
President Nicholas Murray Butler,
of Columbia University, in a recent
discussion of the high living cost*
said:
"Punishing profiteers is & good
thing, but it won't reduce the cost of
living. If we had all their hoarded
goods it would do little good.
"Only the operation of inexorable
econcxmc laws can bring us back to
tolerable conditions. The remedy is
to save, to practice public economy
and private thrift We must save and
invest in productive industry. Borrowing
for non-productive reasons
means bankruptcy."
In the opinion of the best economist
in the United States the peoples'
greatest weapon against high
prices is the government's Thrift
campaign. Every family should have
a budget Just aa ev***y successful
I business has a bua?et The ura- '
i thing on that budget should be tb*
jaacount to be saved from the ;
i or monthly income?nor amount 1
| to be spent. Maiv what yen xcv*
tfija a winnnf vaii enon^ ?of i
what you spend govern the amount
you save.
War Savings Stamps bring 4
per cent interest, compounded every
three months. Hit high prices below
the belt by investing in United States
securities. The dollar you save today
may be worth twice as much five
years from now.

Handicaps Can be Overcome. Says j
Extension Specialist
Clemeon College, November 3.?
Three of the limiting factors at the
present time in pork production in
South Carolina, says V. W. Lewis. Extension
Animal Husbandman, in
discussing the present decided trend
toward a great hog industry, are:
1. Fences and equipment for
handling. Too few of cur farmers
realize the importance of fencing
their farms in order that crops
grown for livestock may be harvested
by the animal instead of by
high priced labor.
2. Feeds grown. Too many of our
farmers in the past have depended
upon corn as the sole ration in producing
hogs. South Carolina can
produce an abundance of forage crops.
3. Disease. The larger part of

The losses from disease among- hogs
is caused by cholera. But the use of
anti-cholera serum as a protection
against these losses is reducing this
one cause of loss to a negligible
quantity.
These handicaps not only can be
overcome but are even now being
overcome. Campaigns are being
waged successfully throughout the
state for more and better fencing,
pastures, and feeds, and county
agents are daily teaching farmers the
value and necessity of anti-cholera
vaccination.

'Tanlac.
"Tanlac is the best medicine I ever
took for stomach troubles, nervousness
and palpitation of the heart. I
sure can praise and recommend it,"
declared Mrs. H. E. Lawter, of 116
Williams street, Spartanburg-, S. C.,
in a statement she gave in endorsement
of Tanlac February 1, 1917.
"I suffered from indigestion, very
bad nervous troubles and palpitation
of the heart," continued Mrs. Lawter.
"I could hardly sleep, but would roll
and toss for hours, and my nerves
were so bad I was kept miserable almost
all the time. I could not eat
anything- hardly, and what I did eat
felt like bricks on my stomach and I
had a kind of choking feeling in my
chest after meals. My heart fluttered
a great deal, and this, I think, was
partly caused by the great quantity

thanks to Tanlac. I feel a great deal
better in every way. My nerves are
much stronger and steadier, though
I used to be so nervous I dreaded to
have anyone speak to me unexpectedly.
I have not been bothered with
palpitation of the heart either since
I took Tanlac.
"I feel fine now in many ways and
I sure can praise Tanlac. I am fiftynine
years of age, and it takes a powerfully
good medicine to help one as
old as I am as much as Tanlac helped
me."
