Dear lady, this is the season of
Mie year . when household, cares
weigh heaviest, when you wonder
how in the world you ever consider
ed matrimony—to say nothing of the
way you loathe yourself for picking
out such a miserable specimen of a
hqsland—when the blue devils chr.e
up and down the house and won't be
downed. But don’t grouch and grum
ble aud complain. Turn on the pho-
ndgraph aud think of the plight ot
ibe poor brick mason who is drawing
only |steen dollars a day, or the strik
ing Switchman whose bank account
has (jwindled to a thousand or more,
and the poor, poor man who has
been 'forced to doff the wool and don
the ^otton however much It may
scratch. ,

Papers all over South Carolina are
feeling ,the pinch of the paper mar
ket which to .flay the lefist has gone
as crazy as the stock market in war
times. Several weeks ago the Times
faced the siunurng proposition of
buying a car load of 50,000 pounds,
and with only a roll or two in the
house (borrowed, from the Charles
ton News an d Courle), the Wilmlng
ton Dispatch and the, Wilmington
Star) the cost seemed to make lit
tle difference so long as it was pon
sible to get the >goods, and there

General Pt* Coutte. who is in com
mand of the French forces occupy
ing the east side of the Rhitm, as a
counter measure against German in
vasion of the Ruhr region, is one of
the most able and brilliant of the
young French generals. To the peo
ple Pf the Un ted States he is heat
known as the .commander who led
the American, and French troops to
victory at rChaf^au Thierry. General
De Gcutte made his first military
reputation in the French Colonial
campaign in Tunis from 1890 to
1895. In Madagascar from 1895 to
1896 in China In 1906. and in Moroc
co from 1911 to 1913. At the be
ginning of the world war he held
the rank of colonel. His greatest
distinction came to him with the bat
tle of Ailette. in November, 1917,
when with his Army Corps he cap
tured several thousand prisoner^,
4CO cannon and machine guns, and a
vast Quantity of munitions In a few
hours.
Acute Paper Shortage
(I’ce Dee Advocate, Bennettsville)
The Advocate is again facing a
shortage of paper. We have had to
run 20 pages nearly every week
this spring, which has rapidly re
duced our supply, and on account of
conditions at the mills and on the
railroads, it now seems probable
that we cannot get enough paper to
continue this size paper.
We therefore give notice that, un
less we can get some unexpected re
bel. The Advocate will hereafter Oe
limited lo sixteen pages or less, and
no advertising will he accepted
which will require the printing of
over 16 pages. Advertisements will
be accepted as they come till we
reach the dead line, and after that
all others will have to be turned
down. So don't he surprised if you
bring us an advertisement next Tues
dav or Wednesday and we isgretfully
tell you-that “we can't get it in this
week ”
It will also be necessary to make
a small raise in our advertising rale
after this week. The display rate
will hereaftefi he :!0 cents an inch
Instead of 25. This raise is not only
necessary, mi account of increased
cost, hut is justified by our increase
circulation . which is now 2400. The
press nseociattons and trade journals
everywhere are now recommending a
minimum rate of 15 cents per thous
and elrqiilation. On this basis our
rate should Jje 36 cents.
Hereafter the following will be
the* infos fol’ l^gai advertising, set
Cash in Advance
(Kingstreo Record)
The Record received an invoice one
day this week for a ton of newsprint
paper at thirteen cents the pound f.l
o. b. shipping point. The freight and
drayage charges on this shipment
will amount to about $12.00, making
the total cost* of the ton $272.00.
When we came to The Record in 1911
the same paper, quality and all, was
costing the proprietor about $52.00.
Since 1914. the price has gradually
Increased until today, when it has
reached the highest price in the •his
tory of the newsprint industry. Even
at this enormous figure, paper is *
scarce and hard to get, and the out-j
look at present indicates gi still hlghfif
or price. These facts make it nec
essary for the management of The
Record to practice rigid economy,
and i n order to do this the adaption
of the cash in advance subscription
plan must be adhered to. If any sub
scribr.r desires his paper to continue
coining to him. and without missing!
an isimo o” two. it will b? well to 1
watch the date on the address label'
and send in your-order and remit-*
tance for renewal in time. We posi-
tively niuxt adhere to the cash in
advance ru'e.
Cause of Breathlessness. v |
Breathlessness Is caused by insuf-
ficlen'\v of the heart either from in-k
of proper exercise or from disease.
The heart falls to pump the blood lo
the lungs fast enough and nrcordlng-
ly the C02 accumulates and overstltn- \
ulates the breathing center. This
muses the sensation of inability to
breathe fast enough.

Many mothers try one remedy after an
other, for the sufferings of their little ones,
without apparently being able to find the
right one. If anything seems wrong with
:he blood, or stomach, or if the child’s
jystem is run-down and needs strengthen
ing, you may benefit by the experience of
rhfs Westmoreland. Tenn., mother, Mrs.
|ohn F. Anglea, who writes:
“My little girl had a terrible skin disease
ind her stomach was in such a bad condi
tion. Nothing helped her, so we finally
itarted to give her Ziron.
She improved so rapidly from the first
dottle, so we have given her two more.
She is much belter.
. Don’t try other remedies firstl Choose
ijiron from the start. It has benefited
many people suffering from poor blood,
general weakness, loss of appetite and
other symptoms which indicate lack of
iron in the blood.

S ELLERS leadership is not a matter of
chahce. It has been won only because
of the superior service rendered by the
Seilers.
Our Automatic Lowering Flour Bin, for
example, costs us $52,000 extra each year
—that is, $52,000 more than the best of
other types of bins would cost us. But
see the service it gives.
Instead of having to clamber up on a
chair, straining arid puffing, with a heavy
sack of flour to fill the bin, you merely
pull the Sellers Automatic Flour Bin dotttt
level with the work table. You fill it with
absolute ease. Then a quick movement
unlocks it and it slips quietly up into place.
This single, long-wanted improvement is
welcomed by women everywhere as a
godsend. Any physician will approve it

But the Automatic Lowering Flour Bin is
only one of the exclusive developments
which have helped win leadership for the

To supply them costs us over $100,000
extra each year, but they have won prefer

Yet this cabinet of super-convenience costs
