On Saturday morning from elev en until one, Miss Marj' Jones enter tained in honor of Miss Josephine Erwin of Hartsville, who is the registrar of Coker college, and Miss Ashby Tucker of Macon, Ga^Miss Tucker is Miss Jones' cousin and school mate. As the guests arrived they were invited under the pergola where chairs were provided. The shade from the grapevines made the pergola delightfully cool. The guests were still further refreshed by the delicious punch served by Misses Frances Jones and Eloise Hart. Soon slips of paper and pencils ?were handed around. Ou the posts and vines were pinned advertise ments. Each girl then began to guess the names of the advertise ments, all trade marks and names of dealers being removed as far as possible. Miss Miriam Norris won first prize consisting of a week-end box of toilet articles. After the guests had chatted for a short time they were delighted to ?ses another contest to take part in. 32ach guest was given a large sheet of white paper on which was written the name of some animal. The animals whosefname was written on the different sheets were to be torn out, each guest having- a different animal. When the animals were all com pleted they were held up for in spection and the girls voted on the best ones. Miss Bessie Ford Turner of Johnston received ?he first prize consisting of a box of animal crack ers. Miss Turner's skill had been used to make a horse. Miss Mae Tompkins won the booby prize hav ing made the worst representation .possible of a rat. Delicious refreshments consisting .of chocolate cream and nabiscos .were served. Purest Meal Obtainable. What's the use to sift the meal unless the corn is sifted before if, is ground. The demonstration of the Meadow's mill bv Stewart & Ker .naghan Monday showed how neces sary it is to sift corn before it is ground. The Meadow's mill, by a modern process, removes all trash, rotten corn, weevils and other in sects from the corn before it reaches the stones that convert it into meal. See corn ground on a modern mill and you will lose your taste for meal ground by one of the old-style mills that has no attachment or ap pliance for removing the impurities from the corn. Really meal from a Meadow's mill, if finely ground, needs no sifting. Such meal never produces pellagra.

Parents who would like to see their children take an interest in farming, help them improve the farm and indicate their willingness to make it their life work when finally ownership has passed, would do well to encourage partnership farming, partnership in livestock raising, etc. It is true some of the children may never become interest ed in farming because they may de sire preparation for a professional life or for a business career. It is perhaps fortunate that farm life does not appeal to many for other occupations get the benefit of hardy, virile manhood and womanhood and the ideals of the nation are not so rapidly concentrated in urban life. But every boy and girl who is reared on tbe farm should be given every possible chance to see the op portunities of farming in all its phases. In no other way that we can think of is interest more easily and better stimulated than in ownership. None jf us is apt to become very enthu siastic for anything in which we have no remunerative part. We all work for those things that pay us and that promise a reward in the future. Children are not different in this respect. It is not a difficult matter to start boys and girls with a pig, calf, lamb, colt or poultry and this is likely to be the beginning of infor-| mation and inspiration that will be profitable not only in youth, but in after years when greater responsi bility is required.-Farm & Ranch. Would Wake Motlier with Loud Groaning. MISS MADGE CLEVELAND'S HEALTH WAS VERY BAD, OPERATIONS FAILED. GAINED TWELVE POUNDS. Her Mother Says Three Bottles of Tanlac Gave Such Great Relief That It Is Hard to Believe It Is True. There really seems to be no limit to the number of cases wherein Tan lac "the master medicine," has giv en relief that can be considered truly wonderful. And the case of Miss Mudge Cleveland, of 135 Main street, Equinox, Anderson, S. C., considering the results Tanlac gave her, takes rank with the most re markable. Her mother, Mrs. L. E. Cleveland, vividly described her daughter's long train of troubles and her many ailments, and express ed deep appreciation for the won derful effect of Tanlac in building up her health and strength. Mrs. Cleveland's endorsement of Tanlac and her statement regarding the case of her daughter follows: "My daughter, MissMadgeCleve land, suffered from a number ol ailments, and her systpm was badl.\ run down and weakened. She had DO appetite at all, and would eat scarcely more than one biscuit for breakfast. She had twice been op erated on for tumor and appendi citis. The first operation was not successful, and the second was nec essary. As a result, her health was undermined and her condition be came very bad. "She was so weak she could hard ly walk and she was so re?tless at night that she really was very little refreshed when morning came. She would wake us at night many times with her groaning. She lost a great deal of weight, too. It was her side where the cuts were made, when she was operated on that caused her so much pain. And, too, her system was generally out of order. "She has already taken three bot tles of Tanlac, and if I had not seen the improvement Tanlac made in her condition, I don't know wheth er I would fully believe it could be so great, should someone have told me that. She has gained 12 pounds and now weighs 122 pounds more' than she has ever weighed before. She has a very good appetite and it is steadily improving. Really I have told her if she continues to in crease the amount of food she eats I will have to make her stop taking Tanlac. And what she eats is nour ishing her. "Her health has improved in every way and she is very much stionger. She goes to sleep now just as soon as she gets in bed, and she sleeps soundly all. night. Her nerves are quiet and strong now, though they troubled her a lot be fore she began to take Tanlac. She used to have bad spells of headache, too, but Tanlac broke them up and she has not had an attack since she began taking it. "Just before she began taking Tanlac, she decided to go on a visit to Pell City, Ala., but was told she could not stand the trip. But she left for that city just two days ago in fine health, so great was the benefit three bottles of Tanlac gave her. "Tanlac is just a wonderful med icine, and we can't say too much in praise of it, and I certainly am glad to recommend it. The Tanlac did her more goodihan any of the many other medicines she took."

A Merciless Judge. One Who Knows no Favor. A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the wanting go before the wall. Only the truth can stand. For years the following statement from an Edge field resident has withstood the sternest of all tests. Mrs. K L Lowe, cedar row, Edgefield, says:"My back had both ered me for months aud became weak and all run down. From other symptoms I knew that my kidneys were at fault. Doan's kidney pills gave'me quick and positive relief." (Statement given April 12, 1911.) No trouble since. More than three years later, Mrs. Lowe said: I have bad no occasion to use Doan's kidney pills for years, as they cured me of all symptoms of kidney dis ease." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's kidney pills-the p^me that Mrs. Lowe has twice publicly recommended- Foster-Milburn Co., Props., But?alo, N. Y.
