CAMP JACKSON. (Continued from First Page.) the bloody tyrant. But I say th'-.t if I am ever needed I will respond, for it is my greatest ambition to serve the people. Then I say to you Teutons and Teuton sympa thizers, that if you believe on him ye shall have everlasting life of hell fire and comforts ot pain; so pre pare ye the way for your lord and father of the Fatherland." I think most of us think that this reward is just for him. I would rather be a lowly French peasant and wear wooden shoes than to be that imperial impersonation of force and murder known as Kaiser Wil helm of Germany. Yes, I would rather live in a mud hut with the ?grape vines growing over my door than to be that blood-thirsty tyrant of so called modern Germany. Sometimes I fret because I am in this, but when I think what it is for, I say "no," now is the time or it will never come. If we neglect it now, we will face Germany later." It would never do for a German army to touch our shore. Some say that is not possible. Well, if we do not put our shoulders to the wheel now a time may come when even the wheel would not turn with all the help that we can render. We have got to send a large army to meet the Germans on foreign territory. Then you people at home have got to back the government by tak ing liberty bonds, raising more foodstuffs and by economizing. But of course when it comes to that I know Edgefield is doing her part, and is willing to do more. We have to let pleasures take care of themselves and help to take care of the government, because we are the ones that make the government. So I can say the boys of Camp Jackson are doing fine, and are ready to go to the front, and if the dear people of old Edgefield want to know how to help us, is by help ing the government as I have inti mated, for it takes care of us, and by sendin? a ??ood -word of oheer, for if you are behind us we are more than for you. There is no use of worrying about the people of Edgefield, for you could tour the whole country and you would not find a more energetic, hospitable and loyal people than old Edgefield, as well as the whole state of South Carolina. I think I would rather live and die there in preference to any other on the ylobe. If any one from Edgefield ever conies over to visit the camp, just call around to warehouse seven, the hardware warehouse of the camp, and I will take you over the camp, and also to the trenches, bm T will not take you where the shrapnel flies. Fuuhenuore, I guarantee a square meal. Well, 1 think I had better close, because there is d inger of carrying some things too far. So with wishes thai this year may bring all a hun dred fold, I close. Yours truly, N. D. T. KOW FARMERS MAY GET FLOUR WITHOUT MEAL. Food Administration's Plan for These Who Have Their Own Corn Ground. Columbia. Feb. 'J.-The national food administration has given au thority for a modification of thc pound-for-pound law in order tc give relief to the farmer in South Carolina who has his own curt ground locally. Much dissatisfactior has been caused amon<r farmers who felt that it was unreasonable tc ask them to buy Northern or West ern meal when they had their owr home ground meal which they coule use. There was np protest concern ing reduction of consumption ol flour, but simply that the farmci did not wish to buy meal from hil store when he had better meal 01 grits at home. Under the new rule the farmei can have his corn ground by a mill er, who will give him a certificate This certificate must be filed wit! the grocer by the farmer, whereupor he can buy an equal amount of flour not in excess of half a barrel. This plan was recommended bj practically the unanimous vote ol the county food administrators al their meeting in Columbia on th( 4th instant, and has been advocatet by a large number of prominent peo pie having knowledge of condition; in South Carolina. The national administration wa; by wire immediately consulted aboui it, and on Saturday gave its consent to the plan. For the information o] county food administrators and foot representatives over this State, mill ers and farmers, the following is ? description of the procedure neces sary for farmers to obtain flour up on a miller's certificate: The farmer takes his corn to th? CONVINCED OF TANLAC BY AID GIVEN WIFE Husband Says She Added Fif teen Pounds on Four Bottles. DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT. Knew Tanlac Would Help Him Greatly When He Began lt. And He Tells Details. Cases in which two or more peo ple in the same family have been so greatly benefited by Tanlac that they have offered a double endorse ment of this famous master medi cine are common. When you see a person relieved of suffering and mad strong again, it is the most natural thing in the world for you to want the same benefits. This is how Charles E. Whitmore, of 103 Bradford St., Albany, N. Y., hap pened to take Tanlac. "My wife, who bad been all run down and nervous, and getting weaker right along, began to take Tanlac," Mr. Whitmore explained. "Well, of course, I watched the re sults, and it was wonderful to see the way it built her up. On four ' bottles she gained fifteen pounds. I 1 had been doubtful about Tanlac, I but that settled me. When I started 1 Tanlac I could hardly eat one good 1 meal in a whole weak. From suf- 1 fering with a bad stomach I had be come nervous and restless at night, ? and all run down. Instead of di- I gesting, ray food would just lie like . lead on my stomach and sour and * ferment and form gas. Because I J had sour stomach-acid stomach- 1 so long, my mouth had gotten sore. 1 I could not sleep restfully, but c would wake up every hour or two c and would roll and toss. I was J tired in the morning, and by raid- ? afternoon I was so tired out it seemed ' I couldn't get through the day. I 1 had lost all ambition, and I did not care. Seeing what Tanlac had done i for my wife encouraged me to take ? it, and I was not surprised when it ? began to brace me up right away, i It did as much for me as it did for i her. I slept right through the f night, woke up rested, with a good * appetite, and was able to enjoy ray i meals. My food digested, and the c gas, bloating and sour stomach dis- t appeared. I felt like a new man, ? and the old tired, worn-out feeling <. went with the rest of my troubles.''' ( When Mr. Whitmore's stomach c became weak, his system probably t began to clog with waste matter, f Wiiat he needed was a good system i purifier, .stomach tonic and recon- . stractive, and Tanlac did the work f'<r him and be saw it do for bis wife, and as it done for countless thousands.

He signs a certificate which the miller will have, stating number in his fumiiy or tenants for which he buys. the amount of flour he has on hand; and agreeing to use in his household equal weights of Hour and substi tutes. Thereupon the miller signs a certificate as to the number of pounds of meal ground. This certifi cate is then filed with the grocer, and thereupon the farmer can buy an equal weight of flour, but in no case in excess of one-half barrel. This relieves the oidy difficulty that has been encountered in South Carolina. There has been no objection what soever to the reduction in consump tion of flour, and the farmer has been patriotically ready to reduce his consumption of flour, but he very naturally did not desire to buy more of what he already had an abundance in Ris home.
