SUMMARY OF WORK IN SOUTH CAROLINA Mr. Walter E. Duncan Sums Up What Has Been Done During War. Columbia, Jan. 14.?Out of a pop ulation of 1,515,400 according t j the census of 1910, South Carolina has furnished to the army upwards of 53,000 men to the Navy and Ma rinp Corns, duriner the period of the war, 5,011 men. The Palmetto State' quota of fighting men, therefore was more than 58,000 men?which figure does not include those in the mili j tary or naval service to April 6 1907. In the first draft South Carolina's quota was 15,147 men. About onethird of the full quota enlisted?to be 5,040 men? and the remainder, 10,081, were drafted into the mili tary service. In the second draft South Caro-. lina furnished to the Nation 34,271 men, in addition to which number i 3,480 enlisted voluntarily, making a total of 37,751. These figures take account of only those of whom there is complete re-! cord. In addition, many South Caro-| lina boys, residing temporarily i:r other States, or away from their j homes, enlisted; and many other3 living near the border lines in othe i States, near to cities in other States t ! crossed over and enlisted. Of those there is no record in South Carolina. J The total will, therefore, be upwards of 60,000. To all of the Liberty Loans the people of South Carolina responded generously, subscribing to $6,000,000 of the first loan, $17,921,750 of the second loan, $19,426,250 of the third loan, and $37,117,950 of the fourth loan, a grand total of $80,465,950, a sum sixteen times the State debt. To the third loan there were 87,905 subscribers in South Carolina, and the State's quota of $14,625,000 was greatly oversubscribed. The percentage of the State's subscription, based upon the quota, was 132.8. In the fourth loan, the people of South Carolina oversubscribed their quota of $32,452,000 by nearly $5,000*000 Y- or 114.4 per cent, and there about 114,000 subscribers." As an indication of the work of the women in the fourth loan the Women's Committee reported $9,992,750 subscribed through their efforts, with 41,089 subscribers. in addition, the people of South Carolina have responded to the appeals of the National Government and have bought unsparingly of War Savings Stamps. They have pledged themselves to buy $13,745,249 worth of War Savings Stamps. Of this amount the negroes of the State have pledged themselves to buy more than a million dollars and a quarter. rrv nnr nro j:. i 1 _~i~,3 - i n^rs aru ~voy?oo lxiuiviuuui pieuges of which 220,188 are white people. The pledges made total $8.30 per capita, which applies in proportion to the races $16.06 per capita as to the whites, and $1.48 per capita as to the negroes. Seventeen and eighter.t'n per cent, of the population of the State are pledged to buy War Savings Stamps, but when the figures are analyzed it is shown that 28.3 4 per cent, of the white population is Qeit Laxatives, PnT?ys?! Yrw MR V I ? B *1 VBDH ^ ' HR Tonight?Tomorrow Fes! Right It is a mistake to continually (lose yourself with s3-cr.lled laxative piils, calomel, oil. purses end cathartics and force bowel action. It weakens k-v the bowels and liver and makes constant dosing necessary. Why don't you begin right today to overcome your constipation and get your system ill such shape that daily purging will be unnecessary? You can do so if you gr-t a 25c box of Nature's Remedy (Nit Tablets) and take one each jii:;ht for a week or so. NR Tabids do much more th;in merely cause pleasant easy bowel action. This medicine acts u;,oti tho digestive as well as eliminative organs ?promotes good digestion, causes the boc!y to get tho nourishment from all the1 food you cat, giveg you a good, hearty appetite, strengthens the liver, overcomes biliousness, regulates kidney and bowel action and gives the whole body a thorough cleaning out. This accomplished you will not have to tako medicine every day. An occasional Nit i tablet will keep your body in condition and you can always feel your best. Try Nature's Remedy (NR Tablet*) and prove this. It is the best bowel medicine that you can use and costs only 2oC per box, containing enough to last twenty-five days.

THE M'MURRAY DRUG COMPANY/ i i * t i fe I j piedged as against 8.7 per cent, o the negro population. ; In both the Red Cross campaign? 1917 and 1918, the people of 1 South Carolina oversubscribed thei | quotas giving a total of $1,590,221 ir : he two campaigns, $318,000 in 1911 ! when the quota for the State wa ?300,000 and $1,272,221 in 1918 his year the quota was $400,000 The people of South Carolina gave before more than three times wha " ev were asked. But not in dollars alone can th Red Cross work of the State be fig :ed. In South Carolina there ar 31 organized chapters of the Re( >oss, with a total membership o 110,047 covering every county in th "Slate. The Red Cross workers o South Carolina have had 10 ttipt nd 20 women in overseas work. To the welfare work?the Young ?.Ien's Christian Association and other agencies?the people of Sout'i Carolina have also given liberally both in men and money. There have been 80 South Carolinians in the Y M. C. A. overseas service and 72 South Carolinians in camps and can tonments in this country. To the *irst Y. M. C. A. campaign $17,486 was given, and to the second cami:gn $170,130. South Carolina was skcd for $905,730 in the Unitec States War Work campaign, and de -pite the fact that the armistice hai been signed, gave $1,146,000, over ubscribing the State's quota b> nearly a quarter of a million dollars No account is taken in the fore ;oing of the Red Cross Christma oil Call, the figures for which ar ;ot yet available. Summing up, South Carolina's con tribution in money toward financing the war, through the Liberty Loans and War Savings Stamps, and to the Yamanitarian and welfare work incident to the war, through the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. and otheV agencies, very nearly approaches the hundred million mark?to be exv.ct, $95,840,541.. Salvation Lady Couldn't Drink Any Cold Water / . areentboro Worker Tells How Dreco Wiped Out Stomach Trouble? Gives Enthusiastic Testimony Everyone knows that to live we must have food. Food is the fuel tha 'ceeps the human furnace burning. , Stop eating and the fires of life will on die out. Is it any wonder then hat when the system is not being ->erly fed a person becomes thin pale, listless, run down, and the day's work becomes a drudgery. It is worse than uselss to try to stop the ppctite with delicacies, if the stom r.oh is unable to digest the food it receives. Most bodily ills can be traced to just this source. The stomach is ;ut of order and the other organs, .issues and muscles are not receiving necessary food to build up the ravages of the day. The result is 'iese organs, tissues and muscles become weak, opening the door to kidney trouble, constipation, rheuma"'pTM on/1 fl l-\ /-? 4- aam* ..?ui uiiu a uuou ui uidti ceding L'Uinplaints.
