SAVE PEACH STONES TO MAKE GAS MASKS Every citizen of South Carolina has an opportunity to aid the government in its fight against Prussianism. A great campaign has been launched to procure materials with which to combat German poison gas. One of the essentials in the gas mask designed to protect American i soldiers from poison gas is carbon. As the quality of the carbon determines in a large measure the efficiency of the gas mask, it is important that every effort be made to procure these materials from which the best, carbon can be procured. j' There is a serious shortage of the j1 best raw materials and the cooper I STOMACH Mr. Marion Holcomb, of N a long while I suffered with have pains and a heavy fee disagreeable taste in my moi butter, oil or grease, I would regular sick headache.

Below is a list of fruit pits and nut shells to be collected. Most of these materials are now going to waste. When it is realized that these waste materials will save the lives of American soldiers, every effort should be" made to see that no more go to waste. The people of Souln Carolina are urged to save the following for the use of the army: peach stones, or pits, apricot pits, prune pits, plum pits, olive pits, date seeds, cherry pits, Brazil nut shells and the shells of hicory nuts, walnuts, and butter nuts.

MO RECIPE 10 OMEN HI Saga Tea and Sulghur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy.* I Almost everyone knows that Sage i Tea and Sulphur, properly compound' ed, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Tears ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Suli phur Compound." You will get a large 1 bottle of this old-time recipe improved ; by the addition of other ingredients, ] at very little cost Everybody uses I this preparation now, because no one I can possibly tell that you darkened i your hair, as it does it so naturally land Openly. You dampen a sponge or oft''brush with it and draw this : through your hair, taking one small | strand at a time; by morning the gray | hair disappears, and after another api plication or two, your hair becomes j beautifully dark, thick and glossy and | you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage 1 and Sulphur Compound is a delightful ! toilet requisite. It is not intended for j the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.

SWOPE WRITES ! \ THE PRESS & BANNER FORCE L ic 2502 Park Ave., ' f Richmond, Va., Sept. 28. ^ Col. Greene, Boss Carrie Cochran, v Bullshoeviki Hinson, Devil Thorn r ton,?and the new Editor: ^ Dear Press and Bannerites: f Amidst the whirl and roar of Ab- v beville, I know it is an imposition to i distract your attention from Kerr t and Edison's latest letter to Cousin I Percy to myself and my little wor- s ries, but will do so, nevertheless. J I feel sorry for Mr. Greene, now g that I am gone. It is not every employee who will leave his employer i ? with the books showing deposits! greater than income. And, no doubt, marriages in Abbeville county N have slumped off dreadfully, brilliant write ups 'a la Reggie Kay variety being removed from the realms of possibil? itv. The new editor, indeed, has a , hard pair of shoes to fill (No. 8% broad-last.) He has my sympathy. When I left Abbeville, I was a little disappointed that none of the girls gave me that promised box of cigars. Anyway, I didn't sneak away in the night because I stole any. In fact, I left at two A. M., not because I wanted to, and I bought some El Roy Tans of Steve. You see, I had to stay awake until then. So Lwent over to Son Kerr's until eleven and then sat by Mr. Stark's fire until it went out and they stopped feeding me. This was twelve and I had twoj hours to wait. Luckily, Paul came! back from Pickens Street about twelve thirty A. M., and thereafter he kept me some company. Our train made wonderful time until we got past Petersburg. Then I the conductor suddenly remembered that it is against the rules of the ^ S. A. L. to get anywhere on time. So he stopped the train and backed all the way back to Petersburg. The excuse was that a couple of freighters were across the track. Well, it J f L MERCHAW I at such remarkably low 38 are bo critical.

IAKOF vas three hours before that train' tarted. By that time, the symphony, oncerto in H?Major, rendei'ed by! our babies in the coach, had so ;nocked Paul and myself out that ye both fell asleep. We slept to' Richmond: we slept through Rich-, nond: we slept out of Richmond.! Vhen the conductor came around or more fares, we suddenly decided j ve had better get off. They escorted is to the door "somewhere out in! he dark" and we walked the track! >ack to Virginia's capitol, arriving. l little after midnight. Paul still lad enough strength left to want to ret something to eat. The first day in this big city was :rowded with thrills. I started down, he street saying a word of cheer to iverybody I saw and tipping my hat. Jut when Main Street was reached ind people began flying past sixteen ibreast and twenty deep, when a itylishly dressed lady peeped out :rom under a camouflaged young >strich and proved to be Hamish in :olor, and when Paul got so mortiied that he pulled my coat tails, I emembered that it was not Abbeville and put on city ways. Indeed, ! nearly committed a great mistake rnce. A lady, her beautiful daugh;er, apd an .elderly officer stopped 'iiwu iiiuvuoaic uj tnc v;ux u. inline-1 liately recognizing them as strang?rs, I pulled out my little notebook ind rushed up to ask them if they vere stopping at the Eureka Hotel. 3ut the matron turned a broadside >f torgnettes on me and the cruel jirl looked the other way. So once nore I realized that I was in the leart of a city that has no heart. There is a fakir in town, a curious 'ellow who claims to be able to work niracles. I am going to send him on o Abbevile and see if he can get he merchants there, and Cason and McAllister to advertise in The Press md Banner. Every person here is working or ighting.

Alas! alas! It looks as though Paul will have to do it all himself. I am sending subscription to The Press and Banner for a year. Please send the last paper I put out and subsequent issues. I hear a star is up for me down there. I don't know whether Uncle Sam wants me after all. He hasn't sent my call yek (Perhaps he is saving the best for the last.) Six airplanes flew around here yesterday and from the antics they cut up,-a little postponement of my maiden flight would not be so disagreeable after all. Well, remember me to my friends and best wishes to you all. Your erstwhile tired reporter-editor, Leslie Swope. THE OLD OAK TREE.
