THE STATE GIVES FIGHTING CHANCE TO TUBERCULAR PATIENTS. Work on the woman's building, colloquially known as a ''shack," is being rushed, and the State tuber culosis camp ai. State Park will soon be able to tai:e care cf the in wo men to whom the institution will ex tend its shelter and medical help. This building is, the gift of the last legislature to the people of the State, and was earnestly advocated by the . women of the State, by Governor Manning and by the Columbia Rec ord. This camp is six miles east of Col umbia on the hir'-test point of the property acquired by thc- State some six years ago through the wisdom and foresight of Dr. J. W. Babcock and associates. The tuberculosis camp is separate and distinct from the Slate hospital, and is not even under the same management, but is under the control of the Stat;? Board of Health. Dr. Ernest Cooper of Col umbia is the resident physician. The ward for male patients was opened just one year ago and more than 35 patients have been receiv ed and given benefit. Some have gone home entirely restored, judging from th ?T appearances. Others have been greatly benefited. One gained 72 pounds in six months time. The feat ures of the treatment are rest, care ful, regular hours, plenty of sunshine and fresh air. The men's shack is lo cated on the highest point on the property, and commands a view of the hills for many miles. The woman's shack will be equally as attractive as to location and will be fitted with every comfort. The woman's shack will be ready for the reception of patients in about two weeks. There will be three free beds, and the counties in the State will be given opportunity to apply alphabetically for the benefits there of. The other beds are to be paid for at the rate of ?1.00 a day, which pays for medical attention, diet, med icines and everything else. Dr. J. Adams Hayne, State health officer, says that the camp has the best cook in the State, and that the $1.00 really just pays for the table fare. Dr. Hayne begs the people of Col umbia to visit the camp on Sundays or other days, just a 20 minutes ride, and they will find a lot of cheerful young men, making a brave fight to get back upon their feet and back into the busy world. Some of them are Columbia boys. Some have been patients at the famous camp in the . Adirondacks,?-and declares that the treatment and the tonic atmosphere of State Park are just as beneficial. There may be a house warming when the woman's building is regdy to be occupied. It is planned to keep on extending this plant until finally not less than 250 men and women can be taken care of and nursed back to health and told how to go out into the world and take care of themselves.-Col umbia Record. An Announcement Vitally Im portant. At the meeting of the South Caro lina Press Association in York, June 7 to .10, a resolution was unanimous ly passed indorsing the campaign that Mrs. I. Rembert is con ducting for a State Sanitarium to care for the unfortunate, who have been stricken with tuberculosis. As you know the press of the State is a powerful agency in correcting wrongs. I think that it is the duty of the editors to join heartily in this movement to create sentiment in fa vor of the sanitarium. I realize the heavy demands on space now, but a short notice every now and then in the interest of this movement will be highly appreciated. It is a form of public service and the problem of stamping out the dread disease is one that every newspaper should help to solve. Within the next few days Mrs. Rembert will send you slipsheets to be inserted in your editions. I will personally appreciate your carrying these in your paper. The sheet will contain a message for humanity. The following is the resolution that was adopted at the meeting of the Press Association in York: "Resolved that the members of the South Carolina Press Association print an article describing the South Carolina Sanitarium and the work of the institution during the first week in August." "T "Resolved further that this asso ciation pledge its support and co-op eration of the movement towards the eradication of tuberculosis, and that it give its aid to this work now being done under the auspices of the State Board of Health of South Carolina." JOE SPARKS. Hints for Poultry Raisers. Sour milk is valuable in any ra tion. Summer shade insures thrifty chicks. Remove over-active cockerels to a separate yard. Clean up the incubator, remove the lamp, and throw away the wick. Soft, fresh dirt is an insurance against leg weakness chicks. Add to the grain feeds with a mixture such as bran, shorts, and corri meal. Do not keep unnecessary male birds. An extra hen eats no more aud may lay eggs. When range is limited shape np the runs or move the brood coop a short distance daily. Spoiled or decaying tlesh, if eaten, will surely cause limberueck. Burn or bury the dead. Watch for head lice on the chicks. If found, rub top of head with a small piece of lard free from salt. Avoid crowding by keeping in small docks and by providing roomy coops. Thin out if there are too many. Broody hens should be .removed to slat-bottomed coops as soon as discovered. Leave them there un til they forget it. ' If hens are lousy, rub a piece of blue ointment the size of a pea into the skin just beneath the vent and on the underside of the wings. Mites are sure to accumulate if the droppings are not removed every week, and the roosts sprayed with kerosene emulsiou or disinfec tants. After the grass gets tough chicks can catch more bugs and worms and will grow better on loose soil. The cornfield furnishes ideal conditions.-II. L. Kernpster, Mis souri College of Agriculture.

Governor Manning Pleased With Campaign and is Con fident of Re-Election. Columbia, S. C., August 3, 1916. Special.- "I am very much pleased with the progress of the campaign and am confident of ray re-election," said Governor Man ning here Tuesday before leaving for Sumter to begin the sixth weeks swine: around the state: Governor Manning is bearing up well under the incessant strain of campaigning, is very enthusiastic over the sup port that he has found in every part of South Carolina and is thor oughly optimistic over his chances of serving the people a second term as their chief executive. "It is a campaign that is worth fighting," emphatically continued the governor; 'there is no place in it for compromise or for a neutral position. The issues are as closely defined as they were in 19M. The main question is simply whether the law shall continue to be enforced and respect for the law upheld on the plane to which it has been restored in the past year and a half, or whether the verdicts of the ju ries and the decrees of the courts^ shall be set aside. "Besides this there is the im provement in condition of labor to be carried on; the education of our boys and eirls to be continued along the line already mapped out; and the welfare of the unfortunates in the state hospital for the insane to be safeguarded with sympathy, intelligence and care. For all these things I stand. "Those who would violate the law will vote against me; those who oppose tho le? islation I have rec ommended and signed for labor's betterment will vote against me; those who oppose better education for the children of the state will vote against me, and they will be wise to do so, for these things to my mind are fundamental and I will not compromise them. "Bul the course of the campaign has already shown that these per sons are in the minority; that they do not and cannot control the state; the cause of progress in law en forcement and education will go forward. This cause, which was my platform two years ago and is ray platform now, is becoming each day more and more a fixed policy de manded by the level-headed masses of the people.

"A^ter making almost every pos sible effort to find relief from their ills and failing- in every instance, my wife and my son, Charlie were given really wonderful relief by just a few doses of Tanlac," declar ed Mr. W. 0. King, a farmer liv ing between Anderson and Pendle ton. His address is Pendleton, R. F. D. Mr. King came iuto Evam' Phar macy, at Anderson, to buy a bottle of Tanlac, and while there told the Tanlac representative of the great value of this wonderflhl remedy had been to his family.

K CANTELOU <fc M IMS, Edgefield, S. C. Gentlemen:-After testing your Vapor Ping I feel satisfi'd that it does all yon claim for it in saving of gas and in the running of ray motor. Yours truly, P. B. DAY, JR. CANTELOU ifc M IMS, Edgefield, S. C. This is to certify that I have used the Vapor Plug, and find that I get an in crease in mileage per gallon of gasoline; also, more power from engine. I recommond it is a good addition. A. R. NICHOLSON, M. D., Edgefield, S. C. July 5, 1916. CANTELOU ?fe Mntg, Edgefield, S. C. I have tried the Vapor Plug sold by Cantelou & Mims. It saves gas and gives satisfaction. W. R. SWEARINGEN, July 5, m 16. Sheriff. MR. BETTIS CANTELOU, Edgefield, S. C. Dear Sir:-Referring to our conversa tion relative to the Vapor Plug which you attached to my Ford automobile. On a trip to Greenwood from Edge field and return, I was impressed with the small amount of gasoline consumed. As I have been for more than a year makins the trip almost weekly, I therefore de cided to make an accurate measurement, and accordingly had my ten-gallon tank filled before leaving Edgefield. I made the trip to Greenwood, and after arriving there Mr. J. P. Abney and myself meas ured the grasoline in my tank and found that I bad made the trip of 36 miles on one gallon and three quarts of gasoline. I am satisfied that your plug not only saves gasoline, but that it likewise gives the engine more power, which is easily perceptible to any one that is accustomed to driving his machine. Yours very truly, W. S. COGBURN. July 21, 1916. CANTELOU & MIMS, Edgefield, S. C. This is to certify that I ara using a Vapor Plug sold by Cantelou & Mims, and am glad to recommend it as a money saver. As near as I can judge the mile age per gallon is increased as much, or more, than the manufacture claims for it. C. M. MELLICHAMP. MESSRS. CANTELOU & MIME, Edgefield, S. C. Gentlemen:-In reply to your inquiry as to the satisfaction given rae by the at tachment of your Vapor Plug to my car, I will say that I am thoroughly well pleased with it, as it is not only a gaso line saver, but it materially benefits the car in climbing hills, giving more power, and it enables one to throddle down the car on a level road to a much lower speed than without its use. I am also con vinced that it makes the car easier to crank. While ray experience with automobiles is decidedly limited, I can say without hesitation that I would not be without this plug if I could L'et one. < Yours truly, C. A. Griffin. / IF INTERESTED SEE B. CANTELOU or B. L. MIMS the money to buy a dozen bottles this afternoon," he declared, for I need to take Tanbie myself, but this is the tight money time for the farmer and T will have to buy Tan lac now only for those who need it worst." Continuing. Mr. King said: "My wife suffered from a generally run down condition, complicated with other peculiar troubles and a very bad case of indigestion. She had been in ill health a long time be fore she began taking Tanlac, and I once paid out *75 for medical ser vices for her, and she did not get as much benefit then as she did from her first bottle of Tanlac, which cost just one dollar. She had no energy and felt bad ly all the time. She was not able, hardly, to do anything around the house, and was under a doctor for a solid year, but got no better. She now has taken two (2) bottles of Tanlac, and it has proven in her case the best medicine in the world. Her strength has increased a great deal and her appetite is better than it has been in years. Nothing she eats causes her indigestion now. She sure is pleased with the results. It is just wonderful the way she has improved. "My boy, Charlie, suffered one whole year with a very peculiar and distressing trouble, which about a dozen doses of Tanlac broke up. All last summer he could not work over half a day. He would get so weak he would have to stop for the day. This summer he was not any better.- Charlie's appetite would be good until he got to the table, but then he would become sick. Often at night his breath would almost leave him. He lost a lot of weight and strength. I had taken him to a dozen doctors, but he got no bet ter. It was said he had nervous in digestion. "I am certainly glad to tell you these things for use in your adver tising, for it may show some poor sufferers the way to regain their health. I hope my words maj help some who suffer, and you bet I can't say too much for Taniac.
