THE GREAT INTERNATIONAL S. S. Convention, Held nt im?talo, N. Y" .lime 19~?i, ?0?8. Editor Keowee Courier: May I \ usc your press to tell your readers something of this great convention. Sunday School Service Creed. Here are some of the "planks" of tho platform adopted by the conven tion: For tho social solidarity of tho race. For tho recognition of the priest hood and kinship of every child of God. For Christian character, or vital I piety, as the proper credential of the life that is "hid with Christ in God." For self-renouncing love as funda- 1 mental in the Christian social order. For the Christianization of all the relations of men. For tho banishment of autocracy from every department of life. ? For the progressive realization of democracy, not only in State, but also in tho home, in industry, in edu- I cation, in social life, In the church, and in all tho institutions that touch the Interests of our brother-men. For such a reduction of disciple- ' ship as shall emphasize deeds and not creeds as constituting the heart message of Jesus to our day. For the sharing of our good will : with all men, not withholding till they seek it at our hands, but freely giving, because we know their needs and we are brothers. j For that exaltation of ?he little child which tho Master's tender so licitude teaches, with all that such exaltation implies, both for it and for adults. For the peace of the world, as the normal state of man, even though we must employ force to secure it-a peace exalting the men and the na tions that pursue it, and that shall endure because based on love for fellow-men and not on any consider- i ation of selfish advantage. For the answering of our Master's prayer for his followers-"That they ; all may be one,"-that the world may believe in his Sonship, and so be redeemed through faith incarnated in men and regnant in the institu tions that minister to our life. Some Statistics. The statistics showed that the In ternational Association represents 197,203 Sunday schools In the United States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, the West Indies, the Hawaiian Islands, j and Central America. This shows a gain of 21,518 Sunday schools since the last International Convention in Chicago in 1014.

I am, Mr. Editor, for another year, Oconeo county's executive commit teeman of the South Carolina Sunday School Association. I did not seek tho position. I do not intend to go to sleop on the job. With your kind permission, your readers will hear from me from time to time on this great work. I hear of good men in our county who are privately opposing organized Sunday school work. 1 cannot un derstand stich opposition. It must surely bo based on misunderstanding. Como out In the open, friends. Use this paper to inform the public why you fight allied Sunday school work. Thon after you have convinced tho rendors that organized Sunday school work is harmful, turn your guns on the nlllod nations In tho world's war, on community efforts for War Stamps sales, Llborty lonns, Y.M.C.A. and THINKS TANLAC IS "GRANDEST REMEDY" i IX A WKKK .TANLAC HAD MR FE ELI NC LIKE NEW WOMAN." HU;m.Y PRAISES IT, Could Hardly Keep Out of Heil When She Started Taking Master Medicine. Tanlac gave me back my strength and made me feel line in every way. I think it is the grandest medicine in the world, and 1 can heartily recom mend it to any one who suffered from tho complaints I had," was the em phatic statement given by Mrs. Lizzie Bryson, of Piedmont, S. C., in en dorsement of Tanlac, on .May 9th. "When I bogan taking Tanlac I was so weak and broken down I could hardly keep out of bed. I had no appetite. I could not sleep well and I was nervous to kill. "The Tanlac gave me back my health and strength, though. I soon had a line appetite. My nerves be came strong and steady and I feel fine tn every way. In a week tho Tanlac had me feeling like a new wo man. lt was two months ago that I stopped taking Tanlac."

When somebody linds the pot on the end of tho rainbow, when water can be changed into wine, when the "Standing Room Only" sign is hung outside of the churches, when the stores give away all they have instead of selling it, when Reedy River is as clear as crystal, when nobody seeks office, when all railroads always run on time, when tho creeks flow up hill, when the sun rises at night and sets in the morning, when everybody loves the Huns, when the rain falls upward from the earth upon the sky, when men walk on their heads in stead of their feet, when women stop gossiping, when the farmers stop raising cotton, when fish climb trees and rattlesnakes are household pets, then, maybe, we'll have lower taxes. CALOMEL SALIVATES AND MAKES YOU SICK Acts Hiko Dynamite on a Sluggish Liver and You Lose a Day's Work. There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating cal omel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone-a perfect substituto for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetablo liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and cannot salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel to-day and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated to-morrow. Don't lose a day's work. ' Take a spoonful of Dod son's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more bil iousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour sto mach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.-Adv. German Favors Evacuation Belgium. London, July 1.8.-Germon news papers give prominence to an Inter esting statement on Belgium by Prof. Hans Delhrueek in tho Neues Weiner Journal, says a dispatch from Am sterdam. Tho statement reads: "Germany now will lose nothing by doclarlng her readiness to evacu ate Bolgium without conditions and to reinstalo her Independence and her integrity. Germany has plenty of other safeguards. Belgium is not only a Connan question; it is a world question. "No peace ls possible in tho world unless Belgium is as free as before the war. E\en America has tho greatest interest tn Belgium. Until Belgium becomes free the world can not accept even the indirect rule of Germany over her." If there's not plenty of ripe, juicy, luscious fruit on tho table at each meal, lt's a good time to resolve on a campaign el orchard-planting this fall.

Maybe you can convince Oconee county that all co operative efforts aro wrong, and that the wiser plan is "Bvery man for himself, and lot bis Satanic Majesty get the hindmost." Prater nally, Wm. S.

Columbia.-Under modified regula tlons of the Food Administration farmers are now permitted to grind . full year's supply of flour from hom? grown wheat. Millers throughout South Carolina have been authorised by the Food Administration to grind, from wheat made by farmers, enough flour to supply their families and their ton ?uta for 12 months. This amount must, however, be based upon a cal culation ot 12 pounds per month per person. Although using flour ground from home-grown wheat, farmers are ex pected by the Food Administration to nevertheless observe strictly the flfty-flfty rule and to use llour substi tutes, pound for pound, with til? flour they bare ground. The fact that they have produced their own wheat does not release them from this obligation. They are also expected to see to lt that their tenants, furnished by them, use flour substitutes on the fifty-fifty baale. Farmers who grow wheat may sell flour to their neighbors who perhaps have not, but In such cases they will bs required, under the rules of the Food Administration, to sell an equal amount of flour substitutos, the sam? as a merchant, or take miller's cer tificates from the purchaser showing that the purchaser has bad flour sub stitutes ground to oovsr tbs flour bought, pound for pound. Farmers may sall flour, from their wheat, to merchants, but when merchante re sell thia flour it must be sold, pound for pound, with flour substitutes, te the persons who buy it. These regulations apply to threch or men as well as to ?armers. LICENSES ARE REQUIRED TO DEAL IN POULTRY Columbia.-Country or cross-road storekeepers who buy ?ggs and some times poultry from th? farmers, for selling again, are required, under the proclamation of Pr?sidant Wilson of May 14th, to obtain licenses from tho Food Administration. The fact that most country stores are in the re tail business on a very small scale does not alter the case, but as a rule those storekeepers have not consider ed themselves liable. Tho President's proclamation required the licensing of all those engaged in certain lines of business, including "operators of poultry and egg packing plants not al ready licensed under the United StatOB Food Administration." Under this classification, anyone wbo : ?Hs poultry or eggs in any way than at retah to the consumer, regardless of th? amount of business don?, must be licensed. In order to comply with the law all country stores buying eggs and poultry from farmers must fill out blanks obtained from the United States Food Administration, and have) licensss issued to them. WHY WE MUST SAVE FOOD The UN (?od States the Last Reservoir af Men, of Ships sn? of F?e?l to Savs World Civilisation. By Harbert Hoover. "If you oould stand In the middle o? Karep? today and survey th? land to Its borders, you would discover its whole population of 400,000,000 human being short of food. Million? of peo ple in Poland, Finland, Serbia, Ar menia and Russia ar? dying of starva tion and other millions are suffering ?om too little food. Our Aillos and tho neutrals are living on the barest margins that will support life and *strength. "This, the most appalling and dread ful thing that has come to humanity ?Ince the dawn of civilization, ts to me the outstanding creation of Ger man militarism. The Qermans them selves are not tho wost sufferers. They are extorting at the cannon'?-mouth the harvests and cattle of the people they have overrun, leaving them in desola tion. If the war were to cen?? to morrow, the toll of actual dread from starvation and ita attendant diseases within the German lines would double or treble the 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 of mon who have been actually killed by Germany and her allies In arms. The 10,000,000 people in occupied Belgium and Northern Franc? would have died of starvation had it not been for ua and the Allies. . "Wc must build our food resources to stand ready for any demands upon IUI by th? Allies. It ls of no purpos? ! to os to send millions of our best to Francs if we fail to maintain strength of their men, women and children on our Kass of communication. Th? Uni* I ted States is th? last reservoir of I mon, the last reservoir of ships, the ; j last reservoir of munitions and the j 11 st reservoir of food upon which th? ; I Allia/ world munt depend if Germany II ls to be defeated and if we are to be free men " i V ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j? ?j?

The writer, a former Presbyterian pastor in tho city of Greenville, is a chaplain of tho 118th Infantry, in which organi zation there are a number of Wal halla and Oconeo boys: No Casualties In I18tll. "We bavo had no casualties yet. An outfit which ls next to us soems to have quite a streak of hard luck. Day before yesterday while tho mon wore on tho drill ground they discov ered a shell which had fallen with out exploding. They picked it up and passed il around. While they wore examining lt, the order canto to 'fall in,' and tho man who had tho shell at tho time, fnstead of placing lt gently on the ground, tossed lt over to tho placo whore they bad found lt. Tho firing mechanism was set off and there wore forty-two cas ualties. Yesterday part of the outfit was on tho march and had stopped In a wood to rest. The orderlies had taken the officora' horses down the road a short distance. A curious looking motor truck came along, stampeded tho horses, which ran poll moll through the bunch of men who were lying stretched out on tho ground. One man had his skull frac tured and there wert; other minor in jU rles. An Interesting Servie?. "I had a most Interesting day last Sunday. I preached to over a thou sand men and officers in tho public square of a most picturesque vil lage; then 1 mounted my charger and rode to the ruins of a very old monastery or fort some miles dist ant. 1 had for a pulpit the romains of an old tower and the men were seated about here and there on the ruins. On a bluff about 100 feet above us was an anti-aircraft battery on the alert and on the road about half a mile away wc could see an endless stream of mon and lorries moving to the front. There were about the same number of men In the second congregation, and next Sunday I am to travel somewhat far ther to meet the third section of my congregation. Tlie Hellish Huns. "Twlco recently 1 have been In sections where the Germans have bombed hospitals and have talked with those who were present. There cnn he no possible doubt that the Huns knew the exact, nature of the buildhi: s they were bombing and the hellish ingenuity which they dis play to make their work complete ls enough to arouse the fighting spirit ol' any decent person, lt is impossi ble for me lo conceive of their ob ject In stich raid j. lt seems that they would have learned by now that such actions rather stiffen the will of their opponents to crush them than cause a weakening through ter rorization, ( "I hope that the reports which come to tis of the large number of American troops on the way are true. The spirit, among the Ameri cans everywhere is lo fight tho thing out at once. Our allies on the other hand, seem to be resigned to an in definite struggle, and they have some difficulty in getting our viewpoint. I really think that one of tho strong est factors in putting pop and push Into the American army is the fact that so many of them married just a short time before they left the States, thus giving them the strongest incen tive to conclude matters that they may have a speedy return home." SOME STARTLING FACTS. More children dio during tho teeth ing period than consumption kills annually. The pain and discomfort that comes with this disease of chil hood may be avoided.
