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

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.

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.

(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

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

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

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

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.

The growing demand for good roads
In the South has provoked considerable
discussion as to the cheapest and
most durable typeR of pavement.
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

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.

Tickets now on sale at the drug

To the People of Dillon.
I heartily thank you for your
kindness toward my trip to the Annual
Confederate Convention at
Chattanooga, Tenn., and I feel that
1 owe you credit for the good time
I had. It was the best I have had in
several years. I thank you.
