Mother Says Young Greenville Woman Smeems None the Worse for Her Experiences. "A severe kind of rheumatism suddenly attacked my daughter last August and she had to stay in bed or in a rocking chair for five weeks. She had an awful pain in the back of her neck, around her shoulders and across her back," said Mrs Nannie Alexander, of 36 Ninth St, Sampson, Greenville, as she began on March 21 to tell of the remarkable results Tanlac gave her daughter. "She was so nervous she would jump at the least noise. Often she cried out during the night and seldom did she get a good night's rest. From the time the rheumatism attacked her until she began taking Tanlac, she did npt get a single good night's sleep. ' "She had no appetite and also suffered a great deal with indiges tion. She was under treatment for a good while but the medicine seemed to do her no good. "Rut in a week after she beean taking Tanlac, she had been made a different woman, and now she is in fine health. The Tanlac restored appetite, she is not troubled with indigestion now, and those rheumatic pains have left her. She improved wonderfully after she began taking Tanlac. It certainly is the finest medicine I know of for rheumatism, and she is back at work now. Tanlac is responsible for her being able to work now, and her income stops when she stops work. She is so thankful for .what Tanlac did for her, and we all recommend it as the best remedy we know of."

I | "ALMIGHTY DOLLAR" | f 400 YEARS OLD. | IT was in 1792 that the Congress of the United States authorized the establishment of a mint in Phil- j adelphia. With the founding of this' institution the "almighty dollar" j began to come iDto its own. The ; Spanish dollar had been common in J America for years, and when Gouver- j npnr MnrP14 attemntpd to harmonize I all the moneys of the States he took j the dollars as astandard. The plans of Morris were later amended by I Jefferson, who proposed to strike ; four coins upon the basis of the ' Spanish milled dollar- a gold piece of the value of ten dollars, a dollar ' in silver, a tenth of a dollar in silver ; and a hundredth of a dollar in cop per. Although America borrowed the i dollar from Spain, in origin it was German, the word dollar being the } English form or theGerman"tha!er." It was nearly four centuries ago? in 1519?that Count Schlick of Bohemia began to issue silver coins weighing one ounce each. These were minted at Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, rnd thus became known as Joachimsthalers, later shortened by thalers. In the sixteenth century they became common in England, where they were known as "dalers" or "dollars." Shakespheare mentions "dollars" in the second scene of the first act of "Macbeth."? York World. The Insect Peril. A writer in an English journal has suggested that the next great war will be between man and the insect world. This war would be waged not only on insects that actually attack man himself, but also on all those winged or creeping things that are his enemies in less direct ways? those species that,to use the writer's phrase, "exist at the expense of human progress and happiness." We all shudder with horror at the | thought of a scorpion or a centipede, although few of us ever see one of them.but we do not shudder enough at the thought of the untold millions of disgusting things that we are putting up with all the time. Perhaps it is unfortunate for us that many of these harmful, and even death-dealing, insects are very small. If they were as large as they are bad we should soon rid ourselves of them. When we see the house fly or the mosquito hugely magnified, we realize at once that,compared with them 11 ll . A.! structurally, me tiger in a cnarmiug and beautiful thing;but we go away and forget the magnified picture and submit to the original of it. The death toll that vermin have caused in the present war has so enforced its lesson that the world has roused itself to clean things up. The knowledge that certain insects were disgusting and unclean did not seem to be sufficient reason for action, ' but the knowledge that these same insects are quite as dangerous as so many bullets is a stronger argument. England has to thank the militant suffragettes who came under arres for one thing at least?the clamor they raised on their release with regard to the vermin that they had encountered in English prisons. The extermination of these pests is a duty that the world faces?a righteous crusade in which we should all join. The scientists will tell us the best way to wage the fight, but aniontifin mothnris must hp reinfore ee by a public opinion that will cease to tolerate unclean dwellings, stagnant pools, uncovered tanks, accumulations of exposed filth, and everything else that invites vermin and menaces human beings.

Much increased export activity in this country and indicated for the future afford the port3 of the South j the greatest opportunity for growth that have ever had presented to [ them, according to Mr Robert L Mc- j Kellar, foreign freight manager for the Southern Railway system, with headquarters in Louisville, who has just completed a tour of the ports served by that railway. The building and operating of the 1,000 wooden ships, authorized by Congress and the putting into service of the seized German and Aus-, I trian vessels will be a long steps toward overcoming the shortage of bottoms, which is now the greatest j drawback to the rapid extension of the foreign traffic of the Southern ports, according to Mr McKellar. j Mr McKellar heads an entirely; new department of the Southern Railway. It was formed to do ev-< ery thing possible to increase the foreign exportation of commodities j through ports which are served by that system. There are seven such : ports, Charleston, Savannah,: Bruns- j wick, Jacksonville, Pensacola,Mobile! and New Orleans. To get vessels, to come to these ports is the job i that is staring Mr McKellar in the | face. The freight can be furnished j in ample quantities if the means of HID HHUBTIIIT SWll m. i\i The Fly?One of the Greatest Eneml Clemson College. S. C.?The Mexican cotton boll weevil made an unu-' sual advance across Georgia during the last two years, due probably to { the high winds. At the close of the season last fall the insect had reached the Savannah river and we may ex pect an invasion of South Carolina j during 1917. Ordinarily it requires I about three years from the date of its ! first appearance until the pest reaches 1 its maximum numbers, which still j leaves a good opportunity for South j Carolina to study and prepare for the situation that is to confront it. It is a mistake to regard the matter lightly because it is absolutely certain that i the weevil is coming and the climatic conditions of Sooth Carolina are such that probably greater efforts are required than in many localities in other | states to produce a cotton crop under weevil conditions. To produce cotton after the weevil has become thoroughly established requires the best farm-j Ing of one kind or another. The crop becoming an uncertainty i under weevil conditions must be made ; earlier. We must begin the prepara- j tion of our seed bed in the fall; we must study the best early varieties of cotton best adapted to the locality and The Cotton Boll Weevil. learn how to keep it continually growing after it Is once planted. | Whether the weevil is present or not no farm can find an excuse for not making a living for those who till it. This is the first duty and requirement of any farm. After the home supplies have been produced cotton should receive serious consideration. Intelligent fertilization is of great importance but still greater importance is | the maintainance of the soil fertility moiniv hv leeume crops. Not only cotton stalks but all other stalks which are a part of the crop refuse should be incorporated into the j soil In the fall and as far as possible the land should be planted into an ef-1 fective cover crop to enable the land to bold its moisture, unused plant food and to prevent washing. There Is no greater agency to produce a cotton crop than water. This has been demonstrated time and again in the cotton belt since the beginning of the weevil light twenty-three years ago. It is important to make a cotton crop and yet it is more important to maintain the heaitn 01 u?e cuuiuimm; and this matter has not been given sufficient thought as can be plainly seen by the number of fliee we allow the right of way every day. Files are best controlled by caring for manures, the places where they breed, (a) Haul out and spread the manure once a week.' (b) Store the manure in a dark shed?flies do not J water transportation are forthcoming. According to Mr McKellar, the officials of the Southern ports. The next few years are believed to hold in store fine opportunities for these cities, and the railway company is preparing to take full advantage of the opportunities, when the time is ripe for seizing them. Mr McKellar said that all the seven ports gave favorable evidences of activity. The Redpath chauta\iqua will begin its Columbia engagement Monday.

Where it is necessary to have the manures exposed to flies, it may be treated with borax, hellebore or Calcium Cyanamid and Acid Phosphate as follows: I BORAX. Powdered borax spripkled | over the manure at the rate of S-3 pound to 8 bushels of manure and I or 3 gallons of Water poured over the /borax-treated manure to wash th. borax into the manure will kill the maggots and keep the eggs from hatching. The outer edges of the manare pile should be carefully sprinkled as this is where the maggots congregate for pupation. Caution should be used in treating manures to be employed for agrtoaltural purposes, because of the injurious action on the plant growth of the excessive applications of the borax. This is the least expensive method where the manure is not Intended for agricultural purposes. HELLEBORE. Powdered white hellebore when made in a solution by mixing one-half pound of hellebore to 10 gallons of water and sprinkled over the manure gives good results in killing fly maggots. This solution can be * . made up in large quantities and kept until wanted for use. The best results have been obtained by allowing the solution to stand a few hours before applying. The composition of the manure wfll not be materially changed by using the hellebore. Animals will not be in danger when manure is treated In the stables as the poison is washed into the manure. CALCIUM CTANAMID AND ACID PHOSPHATE. This mixture may be used at the rate of four pounds Calcium Cyanamid. four pounds AeMI Phosphate to every eight bushels of manure. The substances should be | mixed and spread over the manure I after which it is sprinkled with ten I gallons of water. The addition of | these materials to the manure in the | proportions given greatly increase the , I value of the manure for agricultural purposes by holding the amouia whick generally passes off as gas in the untreated material. This form of nitrogen is more slowly available as plant food than the ordinary nitrates. It linnlH ha annllaA tr? thp rrnn not Im< than seventy to eighty days before harvest in order that the nitrogen may be completely utilised by that crop. NOTE.
