Dillon, S. C., January 29, 1929.
The making of war profits during
peace times is manifestly impossible,
but there is reason to believe that
some of the interests don't know it.

By the time the supreme court finally
passes on the national prohibi-j
?i ovnori drink!
tiou aiueiiuiiitiii cicij _
sampler in Dillon will have forgotten
how.
It would appear that a great manj
people in Dillon have become accustomed
to paying the prevailing figures
for butter, as the substitutes
appear to be less popular than formerly.
Railroad transportation remains
the cheapest form of travel. Not even
the automobiles are as cheap as riding
in trains. However, if there is
no figuring done it may appear that
way.
!(
It may not be immoral for a woman
to smoke cigarettes in some New
York hotels, but let no respectable ,
dame start it and expect to teach a
Sunday school class. i
"That rainy day" stares everyone
in the face. It is bound to come some (
time. Only the exceptionally fortunate i
avoid it. This isn't a talk on thrift at
all?merely being a few lines on common
sense and the future.

Women are apparently all right in ]
politics; they are in it to a certain '
* ?"A for eood or

for ill the dear ladies won't take off ,
their hats to the politicians.
Credit where credit is due. In the 1
recent round up of radicals and bol- j
shevists there were no members of ,
the negro race. The American negro
is too contented and in his way in- <
telligent to be led astray by the apos- j
, ties of unrest and direct action. (

THE HEALTH OF A TOWN. j
I
Doctors say that the average per-1 ]
son pays too little attention to his i
health. Nobody appears to take health ?
seriously until they become ill, and 1
then they are in a state of mind to (
realize how foolish they were in the
past. 1
To our mind the best system of j
health oversight for a community is \
to educate all persons as t0 the value (
of personal hygiene, and in this way t
make the health of the whole body I
of citizens the average good health f
of the individual. (
The idea of supervisors, health (
board officials, nurses, etc. so strong- t
ly advocated by health officials ev- J
where, is all right so far as it goes,
but it can result in little more than
a multiplication of health jobs at the ;
expense of the public unless the pub- <
lie conscience as to personal health '
rules is not quickened. ^
Medical supervision, examination, j
and the like, has its uses; but it is <
essential that parents of children M
themselves look as much after the'j
health of their offspring as they doi,
in regard to their dress; that thev|(
themselves insist on the rules of!<
health and sanitation being adminis-j*
tered in every home. Education will:'
i
dQ it. It
This done, the town \rill be as <
healthy as the average of its indivi- '
duals, which will be high.

PRICE FORECASTS.
, I
When the armistice was signed it.j
was predicter that pTices would rap-',
idly descend and that business would <
dei lire..
The prediction waft wrong. Instead
prices rapidly rose and business increased.
Now the prediction^ that prices
wlil ascend still further and that business
will increase in momentum,
though the two are not necessarily i
synonymous, as beyond a certain i
point high prices are a aeierreiu
rather than a business stimulant.
The effect on business of a further
raise or decline in prices cannot
be foreseen. Higher prices may be
just as inimical to our economic poise
as falling prices. If they g0 higher
there is no question but that the resultant
inflation will be detrimental
to the country in the long run.
If prices fall suddenly, there is no
question but that business will be injured,
at least temporarily.
Numerous economic experts give
as advice and prognosticate as to
what to expect if prices rise or fall,
but it is clear that they may be wrong
and that the result will be contrary to
their expectations.
There is still much social and inv
dustrial turmoil in Europe. In course
of time this is bound tQ cease and
the people of the world will get down i
to their normal selves. When that ]
time comes we may look forward to
a relocation of values. And this must
be gradual in order to avoid an economic
upset.
A bill to prohibit smoking in hotel
dining rooms has been introduced in J
the senate and it should become a
law. We all know where the custom
comes from. It is an offspring of the
cabaret in the big city where men
and women of easy character gather
and dance away the -midnight hours.
Smoking is not permitted in the main
dining rooms of the best hotels in <
the large cities. These hotels have
several dining rooms and the guest,
can take his choice. The small town
hotels are not able to maintain more
than one dining room and when smok-|
ing is permitted men and women to
whom the fumes of tobacco are
n-auseuos are forced to tolerate the
smoke laden atmosphere while eating
their meals. It is a barbarous i
practice, anyway. The man who has,'
the faintest conception of the rules |
of health or hygiene will not smoke!
while eating. Let the bill become a!
law. There is no place in South Car-j
olina for practices which are frowned |
down upon by the best people in the
north. 1 (
CITADEL MEN IN SERVICE.
i
Col. Legge Pays Tribute to Lieut.
Jno. David at Citadel Dinner. i
Id his address at the "Greater
Citadel Dinner" held in Columbia on
the evening of the 21st. Col. Legge, <
the first Southern man to be decorated
as an officer in the "Legion of
Honor," paid eloquent tribute to
the Citadel men who had distinguished
themselves on the field of battle.
The following words spoken in
memory of Lieut. John David will '
be read with interest by The Herald
readers:
"On the first day of March at daybreak
the enemy pulverized the front
line trenches and dugouts occupied
by the Eighteenth American regi- *
ment with a heavy fire of Minnewerfers
and 210's. They then attacked in
six columns under the protection of
a rolling barrage. All instructions
which had been given were faithfully
carried out. The Americans withdrew .
to the edge of the zone under fire, |
then delivered a strong counter attack.
"The Boche realized the force of
the American blow; he retreated to .
lis positions leaving fifteen dead, i
including two officers and four prisiners.
The troops of the Thirty-secjnd
Army Corps'proud to be fightng
by the side of the generous sons
)f the great republic who' have has
tened to support France and with
ler to save the freedom of the world,
vill understand by this example of
rnperb courage and coolness the full
neaning of the promises made by the
jntry into the conflict of their broth- .
irs in arms.
"When the Third battalion of the
Eighteenth infantry counterattacked
n the grey mist and smoke of burstng
shell that morning, First Lieut.
Fohn H. David, class of '14 was first
)ut of his trenches and first to strike
he Boche. He fell at the head of his
ilatoon, on the field of honor, " a
jallant gentleman."
"From that morning until the 11th
)f November Citadel men were in j
very active phase of America's par- *
icipation. They were with the units
:hat stemmed the tide at Chautean
Thierry and Montididier. They were
it Cantigny. They were at the hings
)f the great counter-offensive on the
L8th of July. They were at Juvigny
md Fismes and on the Chemin des
[)ames and with the assaulting units
vhen the St. Mihiel salient fell. They
ivere fighting it out on their ground
n the bitter struggle in Argonne for2st
and bridging the Meuse Novem3er
the 8th. They were with the First
\merican division that made that
aold dash under cover of night across
:he face of twenty kilometers of the
jnemy's positions and formed up ai
lawn in the closing hours of the
greatest war in history on the his- '
oric Heights of Sedan.
"Three hundred and fifteen in the
service of their country, 126 in the
?xpeditionary forces, six killed, sev?nteen
wounded; slackers, none.
"Xhe war is over. Citadel men still
serve. From the Island of Mindanao
to the Steppes of Siberia.
"The mills of the old institution '
etrind slowly; the product changes
not. It stands for the same principles,
the same'ideals; solid citizenship, unquestioning
loyalty, unflinching
service."

THE MAX WHO SANK
LUSITANIA IX MAD HOUSE
Copenhagen, Jan. 25.?The com-'
mander of the U-boat that sank the
Lusitania has been interned in a mad
house in Germany, according to two
former U-boat officers who are now
working as fishermen. They also say
that it was the U-22 not the U-20 that
torpedoed the big liner. The commander
became crazed immediately after
learning that the ship had gone down
with all on board.

Dillon's Big Crop.
Special Agent S. W. Jackson reports

WANTS TO TELL

Atlanta Woman Says El Vigor Relieved
Her ? Had Suffered Eight
Years She Declares.
"I would just like to tell everybody
how much good El Vigor has done
me," said Mrs. Geo. H. Brewer, who
resides at 259 Kennedy Street, Atlanta,
Georgia.
"There have been times in the past
eight years when I suffered so from
indigestion that I thought I could
not live much longer. I could not eat
any kind of nourishing food, and
hardly eat anything at all. My nerves
were in dreadful condition, every little
noise would waken me at night,
and after a meal gas would form on
ray stomach that pressed against my
heart until it sbemed like it would
almost stop beating.
"It certainly is grand to be able to
eat sweet potatoes, cabbage, beans
and just anything I want again after
suffering like I did. El Vigor helped
me from the very start and it has
built me up until I am a well woman
again."
