It appears that the nation will not ( hear the end of beer taik fcr years, j Even Congress has difficulty in keep-; tng away from the antl-iuedicinal J beer bill that until recently took up I much of its time. The large cities of i the country are said to be wet as they j ever were and the federal government has been appealed to in an effort to bring about more of a semblance of the sahapi. Uncle Sam could guickly bring this about by tackling Ktxe prooiem at the source. Robinson Crusoe is rarely thought of as a successful advertiser, but take j it from his record on that lonely isle that he was just that. He wanted a ship?nature had furnished the ocean. And he put up an ad for one. The first ad was a shirt on top of a pole, which was plain to every sea-faring; man. The circulation was small, but; Crusoe kept at it for an indefinite time. When he got no inquiries he jhanged his copy, as one garment after another was frayed out. In the end he got what he wanted. But had 'he taken down the ad because at first it didn't tret result * iin w#>i.ia have died iu his tracks and today ho wculd not have been known as a great advertiser. I It is scarcely too much to say that the average man or woman doesn't . . , see a doctor until his or her health gives way. Few persons are greatly interested in their health until some-; *,hing starts to pain them or they I show symptoms of being "slightly under the weather." And sad to relate,' it is sometimes too late to start doc-] toring at that time. The Chinese' have the right idea?they pay doctors for keeping them well, and when the patients get sick the doctor's pay j seases. Well to do Chinamen who fol-; low this system are usually well and j die of old age. There are a lot of old oa?ti in China among the wealthier classes. The poor, of course, usually don't see a doctor before or while j they're ill. i Tax reform in South Carolina is coming. Public sentiment is aroused and the next general assembly will have to do something. Efforts were' made at the ln?? ct>e?ir?n f tim i eral assembly to reform the tax laws , but these efforts failed. Dills were introduced to provide revenue from a tax or. gasoline, incomes, occupations a.nd inheritances, but the bills either dJed or were left on the calendar. We do not know what forces were at work to defeat these measures, but that some powerful force was at work utnnot be denied. But the issue is go:ng to be clear-cut next year. The people have found out that visible property is carrying the burden of ^ the taxes and they are in open revolt | against the present system. Invisible properly must cat ry its share of the burden or the people will know the reason why. We would suggest that every newspaper in South Carolina that sees the need for tax reform print iifcbig black type in a prominent place tbe name of every member of the general assembly who votes against a tor reform measure. Next year is election year and the people are entitled to this information. If a representative is out of harmony with the ideas of his constituents he should be retired. o BOMK DEMONSTRATION DEPAUTmvvt (Conducted by Miss Etta Sue Sellers) Step Savers. While many devices in other proups also save steps there are a few pieces of equipment which may be called distinctly step savers. Chief amonp these r#- the kitchen cabinet which combines a pantry _ table and shelf-space into one article of furniture. No one piece of kitchen equipment does more to co-ordinate utensils and working processes than the manufactured kitchen cabinet. The newest models have flour and supar bins, ecreal and spice containers, rack It a1 9 rino AO on/l a/? lnotoKlo /\n 1 /t 1 n rr DUOii npa*.c uuu aujuoiauir uivuiuhi^ boards. When used with a stool, such a- cabinet saves endless steps by grouping withing arm's length of the worker both supplies, utensils and Cools needed in many kitchen processor ; The serving tray on wheels is another distinctive step saver. Several models are on the market, some with stegte, others with double tray, mounted on rubber tired wheels which can be steered easily. Such * tray enables the homemaker to erre a complete meal with one or possibly two carryings of dishes, or to eiear the table with similar ease. This Kind of tray can also be used excellently as a stack-table when there is IS* dtakL.to>tbe right'of the sink, or * d \ THE DILLON HE] it can be used to wheel clean dishes ( to the pantry, avoiding constant trips ^ and the dangers attendant on tray carrying. Larger and more massive style s are found in the typical hotel dischart which can be used equally well in the large household. A unique refrigerator most excel- | lent in country homes particularly is a worth while step saver. This "elevator ice box" looks like the small refrigerators, has three compartments, but is operated by clock-work pul- I leys. Ii is so installed that the pressure on a button in the floor causes the ice box to rise up into the kitchen; or a similar pressure causes its descent into the cellar. This saves tin hundreds of tedious steps entailed ' b> the country home-maker who has to keep many good products "down cellar." And if the cellar is coolt this < ice box can be satisfactorily used even ? without an ice supply. Any other de- ' vice or equipment which co-ordinates 1 work, such as these: A tool basket ? with compartments, a hou3e-maid's I bucket with places for rags, soap, < powder, etc.. speakiue tubes or J "house" telephonest etc., can be 1 grouped properly under the important head of step savers, and hence ener- < g> and effort savers. 1 o 1 REMEMBER THE ORPHAN'S ' OX THANKSGIVING DAY 1 Woik-Day Thanksgiving Appeal is Made for the Orphan Boys and (ilrls in the Four Church Orphanages of the State. Need is Urgent. As your thoughts turn towards 1 Thanksgiving, think of the orphan ' boys and girls of the state, and through your contribution help to make their lives happy on this oc- " casion, remembering the words of the 1 Master, "It is more blessed to give s than to receive." There are in the four church or- * phanages of the r.tate, OSS fatherless r eh.ildron, who must be cared for. r They are divided as follows: 100 in ( the Church Home, Episcopal, York, S. C., 223 in Epworth Orphanage, Methodist, Columbia. S. C.: 230 in Connie Maxwell, Baptist, Greenwood, >. u. and :;ir? in Thornwell Orphanage, Presbyterian, Clinton, S. C. These bright, sweet children must br clothed trained and educated. Tito support for their maintenance must bo provided entirely by the church and individual gifts. All of the institutions, due to the financial depression ol the past few months, have suffered from a lack of funds and their needs at present are n gent, -oq o.tojoaoql si icoddu dpi.w-ejujs y ing made for a Work-Day Thanksgiving offering in their behalf. You ar? asked to contribute at least one day's wages, or the proceeds therefrom, to the orphanage of your preference. This is a small request we are making for these orphan children, and one day donated lo the "homes of j the fatherless" will work a hardship upon no one. Each of the institutions hopes to share richly from t this Work-day Thanksgiving Appeal. I Tin? Methodist in South Carolina are asked to to turn their help to Epworth Orphanage the Baptists to Connie Maxwell, the Episcopalians to the Church Home, while the Presbyi? rians will give their aid to the Thornwell Orphanage. The appeal is urgent. The orphans must be remembered. Send in your contribution, thereby helping to pro\ ide for the care of these boys and girlt, and bringing happiness and joy into their lives. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this. To is't ih<- fatherless and widows in their afflictions, and to keep himself i : spotted from the world." All contributions should be sent to: Thos. P. N'oe, Church Home, York, S C.; \V. D. Roberts, Epworth Orphanago, Columbia, S. C.; A. T. Jamison. Connie Maxwell, Greenwoodt S. C.; L. Ross Lynn, Thornwell OrtManage, Clinton, S. C . o Needless Sickness. There is an enormous loss to the community on account of sickness. Some of that sickness is inevitable, j some or it is incurable. All of us 1 who do not die violent deaths will sometime be incurably sick. ' But a vast amount of sickness which men and women suffer in needless. The more we know about the structure of the human body, the more do we realize that nature is on the side of health. Shejloads the dice heavily in favor of normality. But we give her a hard run for her money, and sometimes we leave her bankrupt. I am not a physician, neither am I am advocate of any of the popular forms of mental healing. But I know that multitudes of people who mope and drag through life might pick up their feet and march to music if they had music In their minds and resolution in their wills. courage ana hope are health producers. Love and joy are worth tons of medicine. Grief and fear destroy what we have learned to call morale. Try it at the next meal you eat. Keep up a cheerful conversation. Be genuinely interested in those who si', with you. Do not talk shop. Be companionable. You will rise from your dinner with good digestion. Then Just once try being glum or angry. Do not try it more than oncrt I have been told, and I am inclined to believe it, that anger or fear produces in the gastric juice a poison which is chemically akin to the venom of snakes. Every unrighteous emotion or purpose is bad for the health. Every courageous act or heroic resolution is good for the health. There is thereapeutlc value In a Braile. There is power In the affirmative will. You can be aa well aa you feel. RALD. J^LLON, SOUTH CAROLINA SOUTHERNSTATES!

Statistics show that for hard surfaced roads the asphaltlc types are in greatest general use. The popularity of these types, especially those of the sheet asphalt, the asphaltlc concrete | and asphaltlc macadam. Is due to their long wenring qualities, resiliency against traffic impact, dustlessness, nolselessness, cleanliness and low cost of upkeep. Brick and concrete roads have also developed as have the wooden block and granite block types. The most recent available figures give 42.11 per cent of the surfaced roads in the United States as being of gravel, 23.22 per cent as macadam, 17.1G per cent sand-clay, 10.9H per cent asphalt and other bituminous materials, 3.91 per cent concrete and 0.62 per cent brick. The figures for the asphultlcl and brick tybes.?a total of 1B.53 ner cent show the extent to which city types of pavement have been adopted In the rural d'strlcts. The types moat favored In the d les not only for paved streets but for Improved roads, Included not only the asphnKIc types hut those of brick and macadam. Brick Is highly desirable but more costly than some types. Macadam Is a satisfactory type when combined with an asphalt binder which makes the road dustless and prevents ravelling. It costs but little more than the old type of macadam since the cost of sprinkling with water Is eliminated. Portland cement concrete Is not resilient but It forms an excellent foundation for the resilient stirfuces.'When used with an asphalt filler brick Is anl A orvlw.H un#?*?? ? *?..? in. nO|/ii(Ill nUIKU C} 11(1*17 an average life ranging from 20 to 2.1 year* and foundation*, If thu? protected, should last not less than thirty years.

Getting Heady for Boll Weevil. The News and Courier. Dr. Wade Stackhouse of Dillon one of the most progressive men in South Carolina, has just completed a large feeding barn where he will finish cattle after they have been run through velvet bean fields. Dr. Stackhouse plans an extensive feeding operation. As the steers are finished they will be sent to market and thin ones brought in for feeding. Just another way of furnishing a market for something besides cotton. Speaking of Dr. Stackhouse, his activities are many and all are in tlie interest of the development of his State. He recently completed a 15,000 bushel sweet potato curing and storage house which is in full operation at this time. Perhaps his largest undertaking is the milling plunt at Dillon. This plant turns out flour, meal, horse, cattle hog and poultry reeds. These feeds are manufactured irr a new, up-to-date plant and from the best grains and other ingredients obtainable. This mill buys about 400,000 bushels of corn annually. Another outlet for South Carolina products. o Tickets now on sale at the drug stores for "The Minister's Wife's New Bonnett."
