DON'T STOP SCHOOL. U. S. Commissioner of Education Urges Pupils to H?ter College. An urgent appeal to pupils to re main in high school next fall as a pa triotic duty has been issued by Dr. P. P. Claxton. United States Commis sioner of Education. Dr. Claxton points out that there are ia the high schools of tho United States this year more than one and one-half mil lions of boys and girls, and some what more than 200,000 of them will graduate this month, or have already graduated. lu an ordinary year 90, 000 or more of these would next fall enter college, normal school or tech nical school to be prepared for such service to society, State5 and nation as can be rendered only by those who have received education beyond that which t'he high schools can give. He says: ' | "Many college presidents and oth ers fear that on account of our en trance Into the war few boys and | girls will enter college next fall and that tho total college attendance will be very small. The number ought, however, to lie much larger than usual. "The more mature young men are, the more serviceable they are In the army. The selective draft will take only those between 21 and 30. In the total of 00.000.000 people of pro ductive age In the United States the 350,000 students In colleges and normal schools and technical and vo cational schools of high grade con stitute only about one-half of one per cent. More than half of these live in cities and cannot be employed In ag ricultural produciton except as a few of them may lind work on the farms during the summer. Their going to college will not lower the productive capacity of the country as a whole in any appreciable degree. The col leges, normal schools, and technical schools will all be open with undi minished Income from public funds and endowments, and the expense of their maintenance will continue. It is quite probable that many of the older students will not return next fall and the higher classes will be smaller than usual. The graduates from the high, schools should see to lt that the lower classes more than make up for this deficiency. '"Phis appeal is made on the basis of patriotic duty. If the war should be long the country will need all the trained mon and women,it can get many more than lt now has. There ?will be men In abundance to fight In tho trenches, but there will be a dearth of officers, engineers, and men of scientific knowledge and skill in all the industries, tn transporta? tiou, and In many other places where skill and daring are just as necessary for success ns in the trenches. The first call of the allies is for 12,000 en gineers and skilled men to repair the railroads of France and England; and other' thousands will be needed later. Russia will probably want thousands of men to repair and build ber railroads. The Increase In transportation and the tax on our own roads will call for large num bers of men of the same kind. New industrial plants, shipyards, and our armies abroad will call for highly trained men beyond all possible sup ply unless our colleges and technical schools remain open and increase their attendance and output. "When the war ls over there will be made upon us such demands for men and women of knowledge and training ns havo never before come to any country. Thor?? will bo equal need for a much higher average of general intelligence for citizenship than has been necessary until now. The world will have to be rebuilt and American college men and women must assume a large part of the task, in all International affairs we must play a more important part than wo have in the past. For years wo must feed our own industrial population and a large part of the population of Western an.I Central Europe. We must readjust our industriel and so ldi.', and civic life and institutions.

"I Don't Know Why, Hut IM Just .Go All to Pieces'," She Said. "I 'hope my statement will hiing benefit to others," saki Mrs. L. A. Dellinger, of Cayce, S. C., a suburb of Columbia, as she began to tell on April 28th of the great results Tan lac gave her. "I took three bottles of Tanlac and I'm free of all my ail ments now and 1 feel flue. 1 have not taken any meldcine since I quit tak ing Tanlac. I was so poor and thin and weak -when I started taking lt, but the medicino made me strong and hearty. 1 suppose 1 gained at least ten or fifteen pounds in weight. "When I began taking Tanlac I was suffering awfully with a nervous sto mach trouble and I was just so nerv ous I could not hold a conversation with any one. I don't know why, but I would Just 'go all to pieces.' My appetite had almost gone and I was awfully dizzy almost all tho time. 1 thought, too, that something dread ful would happen to me and 1 lived In constant dread. At times lt felt as If my heart would jump out of my body, too. But thanks to Tanlac, I am now free of those troubles and I'm glad to recommend Tanlac to any who suffer as I did."

( Progressive Earilier. ) The turning under of green vege table matter will not "sour" the soil. Weeds, legumes, or other plants may be turned under without fear of such injurious action. Crop failures fol low the turning under of green crops, sometimes, but they also follow many other practices. When the crops fail, after a green crop has been turned under, the failure may bb due to lack of moisture or a fail ure to cut up tho greru material and mix it with the soil, but it is not due to "souring" of the land. Tho acids for.med by the decay of. th? green manures unite too quickly with mate rials In the soil to caiise a sour soil to result from the comparatively slow decay of organic matter which takes place. An error of this sort, which has been so generally accepted by farmers for so long a time, is hard to correct; but we may as well shake off this time-honored fallacy about the turning under of green crops souring the land. It has done enough harm already and now that we know that it is very seldom or never true it should be dismissed and trogotten. Check that Cold Quick. As every cough or sneeze distrib utes millions of germs, we only need a draft, chill or fatigue to lower the body'! resistance and start a cold. At the first sign, take Dr. Bell's Pine Tar-Honey and don't let a "summer cold" become deep-seated. The pleasant balsam qualities in Dr. Bell's Plne-Tar-Honey cut the phlegm, re lieve congestion and allay Inflam mation.

"China and Russia, with their new democracies and their new develop ments which will come as a result, will need and ask your help in many ways. England, Franco, Italy and the Central powers will all be going through a process of reconstruction and we should he ready to give them generously every possible help. Their colleges and universities arc now al most empty. Their older students, their recent ' graduates, and their younger professors are fighting and dying in the trenches, or are already (lead; as are many of their older scientific nnd literary men, artists and others whose work ls necessary for the enlargement of thc cultural and spiritual life and for all that makes for higher civilisation. For many years after the war is over some of these countries will be un able to support their colleges and universities as they have supported them In the past. America must como to the rescue. We must bo ready to assume all thc responsibili ties and perform thoroughly and well all tho duties that will come to ns in tho new and more closely-ro lated world which will rise out of tho ruins of tho old world which is now passing away in the destruction of the war. To what extent and how well we /may he able to do this will dopend upon you young men and wo men who are this year graduating from our high schools and upon thoso who will follow In the next fow years to a larger degree than upon any other like number of people." ON TO THE COLLEGES. Bishop Waiion A. Candler Sounds a Note of Warning on Conditions. (Bishop W. A. Candler.) Our country has entered upon a war with ono of the strongest pow ers lil Europe. In order that lt may bear well Its part in this conflict for human rights and freedom, a multi tude ot our best and most brilliant young men will be called to the col ors; and when they enter tho army their school days will end, whether they do or do not survive the dis eases of the camp and the dangers of the field. This is scarcely less than a calamity to the nation. But a greater calamity will befall us If we allow the youth who are not I of age for the army to bo uneducat ed. As many as possible of these must bc ser.t to our colleges and uni versities this fall, or we shall suffer disastrous consequences in the years at hand. Tho leadership of mankind will come to the United States, if indeed, it has not already come to our coun try. This leadership involves grave responsibilities in this time of war, and it will involve even moro Borious obligations when peace comes, j If we fall to educate the youth who are of the age just behind that of the young men who will go to war, we will not have onough edu cated young men in the country to meet the responsibilities of the new era which will come upon us with the coming of peace. Tho welfare of our country, and the welfare of the world in so far as we affect it, will suffer if we incur any serious lack of educated men. The South must bear its part In the period of great opportunity and obli gation which is at hand; but the South is not now prepared to do so. Oar colleges and universities must be speedily made stronger, If we are to do what we ought. Both contribu tions and patronage must be directed to our institutions of learning this year as never before. Let no parent or guardian enter tain for a moment the thought that the conditions which confront us justify the keeping out of college this fall any youth who is prepared to enter upon a collegiate course. If sacrifices are 'necessary in order to send to college the young men who will be left to us, then the sacrifices must be made cheerfully and will ingly. It ls better Tor us to sacrifice material interests and personal com forts than to sacrifice the higher, moral and intellectual interests In volved in the speedy education of as many young men ns possible. . It is to be hoped that the pastors of our people will consider this su premely important matter, and bring it to the attention of parents and guardians without delay. It would be nothing less than unfaithfulness to the solemn responsibilities of the pastoral office for any man te neglect this duty nt the present crbds in the history of our church and our coun try. A CHILD GETS CROSS, SICK AND FEVERISH WHEN CONSTIPATED Look, Mother! If Tongue ls Coated Clean Little Liver and Bowels. If your little one's tongue is coated, lt ls a sure sign the stomach) liver and bowels need a gentle, thorough cleansing at once. When your child is cross, peevish, listless, pale,-doesn't sleep, eat or act naturally; if breath is bad, stomach sour, system full of cold, throat sore, or If feverish, give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the clogged-up, constipated -waste, sour bile and undigested food will gently move out of tho bowels, and you have a well, playful child again. Sick children needn't be coaxed to take this harmless "fruit laxative." Millions of mothers keep it handy be cause they know its action on the sto mach, liver and bowes is prompt and sure. They also know a little given to-day saves a sick child to-morrow. Ask your druggist for a f>0-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," which contains directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown ups plainly on the bottle. Beware of counterfeits sold here. Get the genu ino, made by "California Fig Syrup Company."-Adv. Where Velmont Scored. (Kansas City Star.) A gentleman from Vermont was traveling West in a Pullmnn when a group of men from Topeka, Kansas, hoarded the train and bogan to praise thoir city to the Vermonter, telling him of Its wido streets and beautiful avenues. Finally the Vermonter be came tired and said tho only thing that would improve thoir city would bo to mako lt a seaport. Tho enthusiastic Westerners laughed at him and asked how they could make lt a seaport, being so far from the ocean. Tho Vermonter replied that lt would be a very easy task. "The only thing that you will have to do," said he, "is to lay a two-Inch pipe from your city to tho Gulf of Mexico. Then if you fellows caa suck as hard ns you can blow you will have lt a seaport Inside half an hour." MY IMO ST SECOND CHOP. (L. A- McLaughlin, in The Southern Ruralist.) After au oxporlonco extending over several years In planting different cropa\;aftor grain, 1 do not hesitate to state what has been tho most prolltable to me. The most pre ll ta ble and easiest worked are: l.&Big black-eyed white peas. 2. ^Brabham or whippoorwill peas. 3. Sweet potatoes, yellow varie ties. 4. Late corn and peas, alternate rows.; Wheat and oats In this section of the Middle South generally ripen and are harvested by May 25th, so by June 1st our second crops aro usually planted. If the ground is moist or soft enough, break up with a two-horse plow immediately after getting the grain off; then run over with h disc harrow, cutting up ?ll trash and stubble. Lay off three-foot rows with a big scooter and wings. Now drill In 300 pounds of 9-3-0 "blood and bone" guano to the acre, and you are ready to plant three of the above crops, namely: white peas, other kinds of peas, or corn and peas In alternate rows. Two good plowlngs will mako these crops and you will produce more foodstuffs that fall than you will perhaps have time to gather. For sweet potatoes the land ls pre pared exactly as above until you get the guano In the drilled row. At this stage you bed on the guano with large one-horse turning plows. You are now ready to set out your potato slips. Do not walt for lt to rain, as it is better to plant tn reasonably dry weather. If the ground ls not sulll ciently moist, let one or two boys or men follow the plant-setters with buckets of water and put a small quantity in the hole left by the plant ing stiek. Not one plant In a hun dred ^rVlll die, and it pays to take the time to water them If the soil ls dry. I am a two-horse farmer, and as a rule plant annually four acres of my best land In wheat and live lu oats. When I do this 1 honestly believe that I make my foodstuffs and profit with less work on those nine acres of double crops than 1 do on eighteen acres of old corn, or twenty acres In cotton. Of these four profitable crops men tioned all may be produced the same year, planting one-fourth of the land, more or less, lo each crop, as you choose. Som? farmers may prefer to plant Irish, .potatoes, soja beans, or sow sor gliUnTand peas broadcast for hay af ter grain. I have made complete failures of tho first two on account of bugs and dry weather in tho fall, and gathered but little moro than tho seed I planted. Sorghum and peas make a fairly profitable crop, aja a rule; but they greatly exhaust the land for several years afterwards, and are not remunerative for feed stuffs as the four crops I have men tioned.
