S. 1 'i Just because every one is stirred) J up over the elections is no reason why any person should forget to redeem his or her war savings pledges. i There appears to be something which j has caused the people of South Carof lina to forget the solemn pledges r they made during the June W. S. S. i campaign, because the sales of War] I Savings Stamps reported so far for j j August fall far short of the July and , i June sales. This indicates that not ! only are the pledges not being rej deemed by all who made them, but _ I that those who were not reached in the June pledge campaign are not purchasing their share of W. S.S. , There are now left but a few days - \T T AIL 1 A1 O U r alter .woveuiuer vli1, ?v?of even u. . may be redeemed; furthermore, there are left but a few days during which War Savings Stamps may be purchased at the present price of $4-19- On. and after September firs the price of these stamps will b $4.20 each. When the most encouraging re ports are being made in all section of the country it is somewhat dis couraging to the South Carolina Wa Savings Committee that the men, wo men and children of South Carolin should neglect a patriotic duty tha is being faithfully attended to in oth er states. Those who have not ye redeemed their August pledges ar urged to.do so at once.

MEAT INJURIOUS TO Hies Take a tablespoonful of Salts if Back hnrta or RIo/Mat ?W?a? forms uric acid. / We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric add, says a well-known authority, who wirna ua to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or the bladder is irritable, obliging ybu to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to fiush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so it is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, and nobody can mak? a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active, rr ERSKI Eighty=Sec r Loans xand ( Scholarshipi For Worthy Applicants ERSt DUE WES - t t NAVAL ENGINEERS WANTED. e The Navy Department has estabi lished a training school for the trains ing of engineering officers at Hobo-* i- ken, N.

I NO FRESH GERMAN DIVISIONS | Ludendorff May Make a Stand at the Rear of Line. No. fresh German divisions have been identified in the recent fighting The strategy of the German high command now is to leave battered divisions to fight rear guard actions and, incidently, to have a large part of the remnants of these formations chewed to pieces by the British fire. Elements of nearly 30 German divisions, many of which haev been badly hit an<^ crippled are striving to hold off the British. There are signs of even greater confusion behind the German lines. Companies of various regiments have been! thrown in almost any place. Ther strength of a large number of these companies have been whittled downj until they hahlly contain 25 men, ac- j cording to prisoners, many , more of | whom hae passed through the collecting cages. vGeneral Ludendroff perhaps has some plans to make a stand to the INE COI :ond Year Begins Sep ^ Military Instructi Government.

It would not be suurprising if the enemy intended to put up a stiff defense somewhere on a line running generally north and south through Peronne. There was hard fighting today around Bapaume, tFavereull, just north of Bapaume, has been taken and the streets run red with ' the blood of Germans. The enemy was prepared to launch a couhtr-attack here but his troops were caught under the fir?? rvf fho RfiUcli lery. The British then stormed into the town and captured what remained of the enemy's forces?110 men and five officers. From Favreuil the , British pushed east and south, further encircling Bapaume. There are unconfirmed rumros that British patrolsf, have) reconnoitered into Bapaume and have gone some distance without seeing any of the enemy. British shells have been raining down on Bapaume for many hours. The new section of the battle front just south of the Scarpe offers great possibilities. The attacking* forctes here are driving eastward astride the Arras-Cambrai road and are now be yond Monchy-le-Preux and Wancourt. These points virtually are on the Hindenburg line. The rain during the night did not interfere with the British advance, for the operations are on hard ground. Rain put the Germans at a disadvantage, particularly in their shell holes with machine guns, as many of the holes were turned into puddles. As soon as the rain ceased scores of British planes took the air and continued their systematic attacks upon the troops. ^ Tanks again disfli omoflliroc Ktt WllgUlOUVU CIIVIUOWITCO lyjf vvuvuuing difficult points where the- concentration of machine guns delayed the advancing infantry.
