Germany would still deserve
the utmost punishment that could
be inflicted by civilization upon any
country because of this unholy war 1
for its own material advancement.
But the world has been engulfed I
by awful woe; millions and millions t
have died and other millions have t
been maimed for life; hundreds of
millions have suffered in the agony
af seeing their loved ones forced by
Germany into this awful war to
save the world from German domination.
Women and children have
been outraged, the chivalry of the
high seas has been supplanted by
the foulest of Hell-devised murder
of innocent non-combatants that
even the devil himself, a3 expressed through
Germany, could devise; the
very existence of all civilization
has been threatened, and if Germany
were to succeed, the whole j
world would sink back into the 1
dark ages of atheism and barbar- c
ism. s
We are face to face with all of h
these terriffic realities and all the t
fearful possibilities the very thought t
of which staggers mankind.
And all of this has been brough
about wholly by this "Made-in-Ger
many" war, started by Germany foi
the sole purpose of forcing Ger
many's domination and damnatioi
over other countries.
These are the facts which oui
people should fully understand, anc
why they will slowly come into ?
realization of Germany's crime., sur
passing all the crimes combined oJ
all nations from the very beginning

that this "Made-in-Germany'
war is indeed a "Made-in-Hell" wai

it.

Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys,

urine becomes cloudy; tne bladder is irritated,
and you may be obliged to seek relief

Eat less meat, drink lots of water;
also get from any pharmacist four ounces
of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the acid of gripes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no ionger is a source of irritation,

Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot ini'ure;
makes a delightful effervescent

take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble

URGED TO PLANT
:| SWEETPOTATflES
. Is Practically a Sure Crop And
Especiaity Attractive Owing
To Labor Shortage.
f f
[ Colombia, 8. C.?There never has
been any doubt as to the raising of
sweet potatoes In South Carolina. It
. Is practically a sore crop and In view
of the labor situation it is one of the
ery best crops that can be planted.
Every sweet potito that Is grown In
this State is growing to help in the
food fight to win the war. In addition,
I potatoes in the present market conditions
are a wonderfully profitable
1 erop.
At the request of the Chairman of
i the food production campaign in this
State, Prof. George P. Hoffman has
prepared a series of articles in connection
with the planting, and gather*
ing of seed potatoes, and will be pub*
llshed from time to time. The immediate
urgency la in securing seed stock
for the satisfactory planting. The real
shortage of-seed potatoes is perhaps
not realise#, and those interested In
the planting of seed potatoes should
at once arrange to get their seed.
Professor Hoffman has this to say:
"With an increase of nearly three
timet the normal selling price combined'jrith
a wanton loss of more than
75 per cent of Sogth CaroMa's sweet
potato crop of the past season, It is
t obvious that the necessary seed for
planting this year's crop will be far
lnsoniciem. loweioro, n id miyeiatlye
that plant dealers ami planters
nyike Immediate provision (or supplylng
their needs. Disease-free seed
|hoold be bedded as soon 'as possible.
Thlf shortage may be supplemented
by a large per. cent through early
plantings of sm^U areas from which
later plantings may, be made by use
ofvine cuttings. v
"The Nancjr. Halj. and Porto Rlco> are
the leading and most popular varieties
14 this State, but these Varieties not
being available, no time should be
lost in obtaining disease-free sell or
plants of other varieties.. Every effort
should be-made for the planting
of a sufficient area to supply home
consumption with;a surplus for the
local market. ' ' *
"Tite planters or souia u^rouna
hare been^sked to is crease by 60 per
cent the crop of last year, which was
7,600,000 bushels, produced OS 80,000
acres. This necessary Increase may
be easily obtained by the planting as
a minimum of one-half ^cre per plow,'
"From 8,000 to 10,000. plants will
be needed for. planting one acre or
1,000 to V>.000 bushels of seed stock.
Small potatoea are equally as good
aad will furnish; a greater number of
plants per given quantity than will
the larger root#, therefore, planters
are advised to use the smaller potatoes."

The Value Of The Dollar.
' The importance of railing food tuffs
at home can not perhaps be
batter accentuated than by quoting
figures prepared by Mr. Arthur L. Lee
for the New York Times, me auuv
on the day the war broke oat as compared
with the dollar of today Id purchasing
capacity shows Just a little
more than fifty-six per cent of its
valaa at that time. This means that
the dollar the farmer derives from
his crop buys for hip just fifty-six
cents worth of corn, bacon, floor or
food-stuffs as compared with the same
dollar that he would have had im 1914.
Aside from the patriotic duty of
helping to raise food crops at home,
from a purely selfish standpoint the
ma* who can raise food-stuffs at home
ought to realise that his dollar has a
purchasing capacity today of only
fiftyelx cents as compared with the
same dollar of 1914. Mr. Lee in his
article giVes these graphic diagrams
indioatlng the reduced value of the
dollar. Tils applieo aa fully to everything
that la bought m It doe# to foodstuffs.
The diagrams of the dollar's real
purchasing capacity are presented by
the Food Conservator as fie is convinced
they stress an Important phase
of the campaign for more food.

at Columbia, S. C? will be

articles and suggestions on garden
