L <*? , r" ^ ANDERSON COLLEGE. 1 Anderson College is sending out "this year one of the most attractive ? catalogues in the State. It shows up well the magnificene plant of the institution, er d somewhat of the convenient and attractive interior. , The list of the faculty and officers shows that the instructors are men and women of experience and culture, -many of them with established reputations as successful teachers. All "have degrees from well-known ; institutions. Everything about the " catalogue indicates that the college is complete In every particular. ' Tbe Department of Music is par- ' trcuTprly well equipped. The Director is one of the best teachers 3 * ? >? o au tu ? ] > ana periormers m uie ouuui. mc teaclier of Voice is no less successful 1 in "her particular field. ' The College has an excellect department of expression. 1 One thing that will appeal to 1 many parents and prospective stu- ^ dents is the department of Domestic Science and Art. Much attention ^ is given to this department at An- ^ derson College. The young women of the institution are carefully trained in all the arts and ? graces of home-making. Another pleasing feature is the fact that the College is making a specialty of training for health. All outdoor games and sports will be * under "the supervision of an expert * in this field. TheXolleee seems to * have made up lis mind that all the 1 students shall have the advantages of health and well-trained bodies. 'The College is also sending out an attractive bulletin devoted especially to music. All the College literature will be sent to anyone who will \7rite for it/ We wish to congratulate this vigorous, young institution on the advance that it has made in the edu- * cational world. / \ . : THIN,BREEDING- PATCHES z Sm That Cotton is Thinnod Now to 1 L Only One Stalk to Hill, I j CTemson College, July ?.Those c farmers ?who have not yet done so s .siosld immediately give attention to t ? tltctjv breeding patches of cotton and c that the patch is thinned to the c * proper distances between the stalks p afyt to .only one plant to the hill, ii Tfcene details are important in u * presi ding .work.

Red Devil Lye EATS UP FILTH Stop the Fly Route FILT^ IIAFLIES, AXD ' ^ OUT-HOUSES ARE FLY FACTORIES I V A..A mane iour uui-nuuse sitimdiy The odors arising from privies are sickening and unbearable, particularly in summer. They are also the breeding place for flies and other vermin. Flies carry disease germs direct from such places to the baby's milk, the meats, vegetables, pies and other foodstuffs. Typhoid fever is invariably transmitted from germs that originated in out-houses and such breeding places, and these germs are usually carried to the house and kitchen by flies that take an air route.

A safe and effective weapon against the typhoid or house fly has been found in powdered hellebore by scientists of the department. Flies lay their eggs chiefly in*, stable manure. Powdered hellebore mixed with water and sprinkled over the manure will destroy the larvae which are hatched from the eggs. Since powdered hellebore is readily obtainable, this puts in the hands of everyone a remedy for one of the pests that has been found dangerous as well as troublesome. Powdered .hellebore, however,twill not kill adult flies, which must be swatted or trapped. It has long been known that .flies breed in manure, but previous me thods of destroying the larvae there by the use of strong chemicals have been open to the Qbjection that the treatment .under some conditions lessened the fertilizing value of the manure or actually injured vegetation. This is not true of* powdered hellebore. ' Government experiments have shown that the hellebore is entirely decomposed in l)he course of the fermentation df the manure, ?t , \ and that even in excessive quantities it does no harm except to the larvae it is intended to .destroy. Chickens picking in manure ' treated with it suffer no ill effects. ' , ? One-half pound of powdered hellebore mixed with 10 gallons of water is sufficient to kill the larvae in 8 bushels, or 10 cubic feet, of manure. The mixture should be sprinkled carefully over the pile, especial attention being paid to the outer edges, jln mose places hellebore is obtainable in 100 pound lota at a cost of 11 cents a pound. This.'makes the jcost of the treatment a littl? less than seven-tenths of a cent per bushel of manure. A liberal estimate ; of the output of manure is 2 bushels a day per horse. The money involved is therefore trifling in comparison with the benefits to the individual and the community from the practical elimination of the diseasespreading fly. Although fresh manure is the favorite breeding spot, flies lay their eggs in other places as well, Such as' out houses, refuse piles, etc. In these places, from which no manure is taken to spread on the fields,, considerable saving may be effected through the substitution of borax for powdered hellebore. Applied at the rate of 0.62 pounds per 8 bushels of manure, borax is as effective as powdered hellebore tin killing the larvae but cost less than half a cent for each bushel of manure treated. In larger quantities, however, or when the manure itself is spread at a greater rate than 15 tons to the acre, some damage to crops may result. Large quantities of manure are often used by market gardeners and others, and there is always danger of carelessness in applying the borax. The use of the more expensive but safer hellebore is therefore recommended for, the treatment of manure. Borax if? for all other refuse in ^hich flies may lay eggs. Scientists who have been working for years to eliminate the fly are convinced that the use of one or the other of these simple measures is a public duty wherever manure and refuse exist. Sanitarians, however, strongly advise the removal of refuse heaps or other unnecessary rubbish or breeching places fop flies. In 1 breeding places which can not be jthus disposed of, such as manure or stables, the daily use of powdered , hellebore will keep the flies from breeding in these favorite breeding grounds. The best results are ob' tainable in a community where every one cleans up his premises, traps or | kills the flies, and systematically treats the manure and other breedj ing places with powdered hellebore. | The fly is not only a nuisance to human beings and live stock, it spreads disease and filth and is a menace to public health which can not be tolerated in the face of a de monstrated remedy. Details of the . experiments with cother informatior J j on the subject are contained in s I* professional paper. Bulletin 245 oi | the department. I FIRST BALE OF ; COTTON GINNED !

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ? . Text of the Lesson, I Kings viii, 22-30. Memory Verses, 23, 24~Go I don Text, Isa. Ivi, 7?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. In some respects the ark of Noah, the tabernacle of Moses und the temple of Solomon were the three most remarkable buildings In the history of the world, for God Himself was the soleNlesigner of each, and each was intensely typical of things to come concerning the Saviour, salvation and the kingdom. The great truths of our re demption have been made more plain to me by tabernacle studies than in any other way, and I most earnestly commend to all readers a little book, costing only 'Jf> cents, entlthsd. "The Tabernacle" or "The Gospel According to Moses," by George Rodgeru. (Am , S. S. Union. 181(3 Chestnut. Pliiladel- ; phla.) The spiritual lessons from the i temple are very similar, but with more ' of the kingdom outlook. Solomon began-to build the- temple : 490 years after the-Exodus <1 Kings I vl, 1). If you add up the figures in < Acts rlii, covering this period, you will ; make It 573. but if'you subtract the 93 I; years of the oppressions of all Israel < in the days of the Judges, the accounts will atrree perfectly. Out of fellowship with God means Ibat tkne. whether with a nation or an 1 Individual (Sum. vL 12: Job xxxiv, 29). Solomon's temple was finished in the eleventh- year of his relgu. and It was plundered jnst thirty-four years after, In the flfth year of Reboboam (I Kings vi, 37, 38; xiv. 25. 26). This was just the time between the birth of the Me??lab. the true, temple, and His;death/- Zerubbabel built tltie second temple after the return from Babylon. At the tliqe of Christ's ministry Herod had been rebuilding that temple forty-six years , (John li, 20). The last eight chapters of Ezekiel tell of a temple yet to be builded wfcen Israel sbairBe/restored. Both tabernacle and templd wen; dwelling places for God in the midsft of Israel. God was in Christ. Every true believer lis now His temple (I Cor. vi 19. 20) The church. His body/now be- ' Ing builded. is the temple In which we are fair the present moat interested (Eph. It 19-22). AH the materials for, tabernacle and temple were willing Offering* (Ex. xxr. 2: xjlxv. 29; I Chron. xxix. 3. 9. IT). Christ gave Himself willingly for us (Hetx x. 5-9; John vL 38). We must be willing offerings, keeping nothing baclt. Remember the only foundation (II Chron. Hi. 1) spoken of In a previous lesson, the great atonement suggested by Moriah and Oman's threshing floor and thfe silver sockets of the tabernacle boards and see 1 Cor. ill. 11. If we are truly in Christ we are living stones In the temple now being bulldec'l (I Pet ii. 5). but as in the temple of our lesson every stone was made ruady in the quarry or somev.'here for ita particular place in the building (I Kings vL 7). so. while the believer Is a etone bj the precious blood of Christ, we are being made tit for our places in the building by the dally training here. When ttie temple was finished and the ark set in its place in the holy of holies the glory of the Lord filled the house, so that the priests could not stand to minInfor rT K"lnnm vlil 4-111. It is OUr DfiV liege thus to be Spirit tilled, so that self may find no place. Our special lesson verses are a little part of Solomon's great prayer at the dedication of the temple. In which be glorified God, saying. "Lord God of Israel, there Is no God like Thee. * * * who keepe?t covenant and mercy with Thy servants that walk before Thee with all their heart" (xxlli). He also praised God for fulfilling His word to David and asked Him to continue to do so (verses 24. 20). Then be asked the Lord that His eyes might be open night and day toward the house be bad builded for His name (verses 27-30). He presented seven separate petitions /?om?ominor different matters, saying 1 each time "Hear Thou in Heaven" or "Hear Thou in Heaven Thy dwelling place" (verses 30. 32, 34, 3G. 30, 43, 45, 49). He pleaded that He would do this for Israel, as His inheritance, whom He had separated from among all the people of the earth, and that He would maintain their cause at all times, as the matter might require, or. as in the margin, the thing of a day in his day verses 51. 53. 50). This expression is , found also in the story of the manna (Ex. xvi, 4, margin) and elsewhere, reminding us that His care is sure day by day as He has taught us to pray. His desire was "that all the people ' of the earth may know that the Lord is God and that there is none else" (verse i GO). So it was also with Joshua and t David and Hezekiah (Josh, iv, 24: 1 : Sam. xvii, 4G; II Kings xix. 10), and nothing less shoulc. be our desire. Before he began to build he said, "The Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent" (chapter i v, 4), and now he says. "Blessed be the . Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel; * * * there hath not fail' ed one word of all His good promise, 1 which He promised by the hand of . Moses. His servant" (verse 56). So also j is it written in Josh, sxi, 45; xxiii, 14, und so it will be until the kingdom comes and v e shall And that not one r word has failed of all that God has t tipoken. He shall not fail nor be dis2 couraged, and He shall see of the travail of His soul an d be satisfied. I For ttie Goiters" "iSt VhcaUon7raveJers toe ?
