TELLS WHAT GAV] AFTER S Carpenter Forced to Bed a Rheumatish and Sciati< Finds Relief by Ta Form o Having No Alcohol in it Claim! It is Better and Stronger and Much Cheaper Blood Medicine. BOTH HUSBAND AND WIFE WRITE GLOWING TRIBUTE November 5, 1917 Dear Sirs: My husband suffered from rheu matism and sciatica for about one year so awfully bad that I just can't describe his awful suffering. We had doctors to tend him, but nothing except the morphine they gave him eased the awful pains. When he began breaking ont with boils and sores he would itch so bad he would almost scratch to the bone. I thought sure he would die," writes Mrs. A. B. Williams. Her husband, who suffered the dreadful torture of rheumatism in its worst form writes: "I suffered from rheumatism for two years, and was confined to my room for three months. I tried everything. The suffering was so severe I thought I was forever done with work. I tried everything I and my friends could get, but it looked like I was done with business and work for the balance of my life, lt struck me worst in the small of my back and in the left leg," continued Mr. Williams. "By chance he heard of what iron will do for people with blood and system full of uric acid and the kidneys not acting right. Food Regulations Issued by Pres ident Wilson Thrt Must Be Obeyed.

"4-Wholesalers will be required under license regulations not to buy more than 70 per cent of their pur chases for the corresponding months of the preceding year and their sales to the retail trade must be in the, proportion of one pound of other ' cereals, this being the same propor tion in which the retailer sells to the consumer, unless the wholesaler satisfies himself that the substitute have already been purchased from another source. "A ruling has been made that in making any combination sales un der this program, dealers shall name a price for each of the articles so sold which shall not represent more than a normal pre-war profit on any one of the articles sold. "5-Millers of flour are to dis tribute their output through their customary channels and markets in such a manner that each city, town and district may receive its usual proportions. The wheat millers have been required to produce one barrel of flour (19G pounds) from 264 pounds of wheat. This is a white flour and represents from 2 per cent to 4 per cent higher extraction than from last year's harvest. "6-To further assist in conser vation, Monday and Wednesday of each week are to be observed as wheatless days and one meal of each day as a wheatless meal. This ap plies both in the home and in pub lic places, and on such days, meals, no crackers, macaroni, breakfast foods or other cereals containing wheat should be used. The only ex ception to this is such small amounts of flour as may be i ceded for thick ening soups or gravies or as a bind er in corn bread or other cereal breads. "7-On wheatless days and at wheatless meals, the food adminis tration urges that bread baked in the home be other than wheat bread. Where bread is purchased either for use in public eating places or in the home, victory bread should be used, if no wheat substitute can be found. "The federal food administrator in each state will announce the meal to be observed as a wheatless meal in his state. If no meal is designat ed, the United States food admin istration prefers that the evening meal be wheatless. "8-It is further desired in order that meat and pork products be conserved that one meatless day (Tuesday) in each week and one meatless meal in every day be ob served, and in addition, two porkless days (Tuesday and Saturday) in every week be strictly kept. By "meatless" is meant without hog, cattle or sheep products. On other days use mutton and lamb in prefer E HIM RELIEF BUFFERING AGONY RHEUMATISM IN I .nd Unable to Work With sa Pulling Him Down, king Concentrated f Iron. He bought a bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, obtainable at most drug stores. This is the highly concen trated natural product of a mineral deposit of medicinal iron. It is stronger and being concentrated is more economical, a few drops in a glass of water being a full dose. He took it regularly a short while, and now read what he says: "I bought a bottle of A-I-M, and before I finished that I saw I was getting better. I took three bottles and by the time I had finished th?m I was as well as I ever was. I wa6 relieved of the other troubles too, and feel now like I owe a debt of gratitude to you people who put it up. I am sixty-three years old and back at work every day, and believe that rheumatism is banished com pletely and forever from my system," said Mr. Williams. His wife said: "I heard of Acid Iron Mineral and got a bottle for my husband, and by the time he had used one bottle he was really well. You can see of what value it is to rae. He is now well and back to work. I wish I had more space to tell you more about bow thankful I am for your Acid Iron Mineral," Charlotte, C. H., Va., Box 20. This glowing statement, corrobo rated by both husband and wife, tes tifies eloquently lo the power of the concentrated iron as bottled, tested and put out under the Ferrodine Chemical Corp., trade mark' A-I-M."

"9-For local situations, where ex ccptions are necessary, application should be made to the State food administrators." Letter From State Food Ad ministrator. In reply to a letter from J. L. Mims. County Food Administrator, asking about the delivery of flour by merchants who sold it sometime ago to be delivered on arrival, the State Food Administrator writes the following: Mr. J. L. Mims, County Food Administrator, Edgefield, South Carolina. Dear Sir: Thank you for sending the list of representatives for the school dis tricts. I will send each of these a letter appointing him in a day or two. Answer to your letter has been delayed until now on account of the unusual rush of correspon dence in regard to flour. Flour may not be sold to * any customer in larger quantities than 1-8 to 1-4 barrels in town and 1-4 to 1-2 barrel to country customers. In no case may any person or con cern have on hand more than thirty days' supply. Violation of this rule is considered hoarding, the penalty for which is ten thousand dollars fine or four years in the penitentiary, or both. A previous contract for the flour can not be considered an excuse. Yours very truly, WM. ELLIOTT, Food Administrator for S. C. * T* Local Farmers to Get Nitrate. Government To Sell Nitrate For Fertilizer Through County Ag't. Washington, D. C. Notice was given to W E Stokes, Agricultural Agent for Edgefield County, that the U. S. Department of Agriculture will sell at cost a supply of nitrate of soda to farmers in Edgefield county. The nitrate was purchased thru the War Industris Board under the authority of the Food Control Act as a part of the program for stimu lating agricultural production. It will be unloaded at Atlantic ports and the price will be $75.50 a ton, free on board cars at port of ar rival. Farmers are to pay in addi tion freight from port. of arriyal and the State fertilizer tag fee. How To Obtain Nitrate: Appli cations for a part of the 100,000 tons of nitrate bought by the gov ernment will be received only from actual farmers or holders of farms) for use on their land, and may be made through County Agent W. I E. Stokes, Edgefield, S. C., or through any member of a local committee of R. C. Padgett, Edge field, Walter W. Wise, Trenton, WITH 3ED THREE WEEKS. Temperance and Child Train ing. [Paper prepared by Mrs. W. YV. Faller, of Edirefield and read at a recent rneetin? of the local union.] Why these two should be linked together is a question easily an swered. It is in child-hood, to a great extent, that our habits are formed, and in training our chil dren too much stress cannot be laid on temperance. In speaking of temperance we do not refer to alco hol or tobacco only. It reaches out a great deal farther than that. Webster tells us that temperance is habitual moderation in regard to the indulgence of the natural appe tites and passions, as temperance in eating and drinking; temperance in the indulgence of grief, joy or mirth, thus we see the field is broad and its teaching should be especial ly stressed during the child's forma tive or character-building period. The real training in temperance begins when the mother teaches the baby correct physical habits. The child that is fed on good, nutritious, well cooked food and not too high ly seasoned food, and takes the proper exercise will be fortified against intemperance. Tea and coffee, especially the latter are the great intemperate drinks for chil dren. The food that suits the adult or working people is by no means suited to the little ones. In training the child we should be very watchful of the habits that il forms for habits acquiredin child hood, whether good or bad, are sel dom broken in adult life, and if they are at all, it is with the greatest difficulty. We hear and read much about the importance of preventing the formation of bad habits. That is the theory that was worked out by Mr. Willard, the father of the illustrious Frances E. Willard. He had a way of saying to his wife. "These children must have habits." Frances said she grew up with the impression that the only kind of habit was a good one. The mother that would teach her child patience and perseverance must not be too ready to take the tasks from the little ones as soon as it becomes difficult. It is the abili ty to overcome difficulties that marks the successful man or wo man. No mother would like to have her daughter develop into a careless housekeeper, and yet there are many mothers that constantly pick up after their daughters in stead of requiring them to pick up after themselves, with the result that|they are cruelly robbed of the training that would make order and neatness second nature to them. The great responsibility of rais ing and training children has been a matter of concern for all ages. Whether or not the problem has been solved is a debatable question, but in late years I believe more in terest is being taken, and care ex pended, and let us hope that the re sults obtained may abundantly re pay us for all our labors. Just Memorize This. It ain't the rruns nor armament, nor funds that they can pay, But the close co-operation that makes them win the day; It ain't the individual, nor the army as a whole, But the everlastin' teamwork of every bloomin' soul. -Rudyard Kipling. and V. E. Edwards, Johnston, S. C. No money will be required with the application but upon notice from the County Agent. Farmers who have signed applications must deposit with a local bank, associa tion, or individual, designated by the Secretary of Agriculture to act as the farmers' agent for that pur pose, money to cover the cost of the fertilizer except the freight cbaree. After this money is trans mitted to Washington the nitrate will be fhipped to the farmers. If applications for nitrate exceed the supply of about 100,000 tons the government will allot the supply on a pro rata basis among those who applied. Applications must be re ceived by February 4. Teachers' Meeting. The teachers of Edcefield county are called to meet in the court house Saturday, February 9, at 11:30 o'clock. Each one is urged to be present. W. W. FULLER, County Supt.

Getting Ready for the Spring Drive On the battle fields of Europe men are dying by thousands. Our sons or brothers or other relatives will soon be active participants. We fear the roll of the dead or injured may be brought across the ocean within a few months, although we hope for the contrary. These men who have cheerfully of fered their persons as a sacrifice to a noble cause are appealing to us by thought, if not by word, for such assistance as we may render. Every dollar we expend, everything we do, every sacrifice we make, will assist in protecting the lives and health of the patriots who are abroad in defense of our rights. We must not, we cannot, withold anything that will be of benefit to those splendid men. While we all should do our part and make all sacrifices required of us, the appeal for economy does not mean that less business should be dc but it does mean that every possible ounce of w ing power must be devoted to the National pur pose. This, we are sure, will be the whole aim of business in 1918.
