Important steps looking towards the
further control of malaria in South
Carolina were taken at the meeting of
the executive committee of the state
hoard of health when it was resolved
to co-operate with the United States
public health service and with the in
ternational health .board for the con-

Ly the arrangements perfected, the
United States public health service
will, upon the request of a town, send
two engineers to make a survey of the
town without expense to the commu
nity. These engineers will later re
port to the authorities what steps are
necessary to ^radicate the disease
and the approximate cost of the work.

cation. This is the first report of the

tendent's office. The field of effort is

Columbus, O., July 12.—Sergeant Al-
vtn C. York is npt an orator. Nor even
a preacher.. He is Just the “war’s
greatest hero.” , ,
But he delivered a sermon here to
day at the Methodist centenary expo
sition, which, according) to churchmen
from all parte of the country, has not
eiceiioa during tti« cenumary.—-
There were less than 100 words In
his sermon. Its subject might have
been “Patriotism and religion”.
Would the sergeant say a few
words? York cleared his throat
I believe,” he said earnestly, “that
a man who is a good soldier for Jesus
Christ is a good soldier for his coun
try.
“I believe that a good soldier is bet
ter qualltied to be a better soldier of
Christ
“When I was in France, I was pray
ing continually to God that He would
protect me and that I would come
home without a scratch from the Ger-
naans,— ii T .: ..
“And I did,” he continued.
v Then York explained that he want-
“dii to return home early because his
wife was 111. . _ .
The red haired sergeant in
pany with another American
Lieut. Conmander Albert C.Jlead, was
honored today by citizepe from every
state in the union
Commander ami^Mrs. Read motor
ed to the exi.psition grounds through
long lines of shouting, cheering, ap
plauding throngs. The formal program
in hohor of the NC-4 commander was
d in the coliseum. As the cere
monies were in progress, word spread
throughout the grounds that York had
arrived at the gate.
Thousands pushed toward the en
trance in an effort to gain a point of
vantage. York sat In a huge automo
bile. In the machine with him were
Dr. W. B. Beachamp, director of the
centenary of the Methodist Church,
South, Nashville, Tenn; Bishop James
Atkinson, North Carolina, and exposi
tion officials.
The march through the grounds to
the club house was a veritable proces
sion of triumph.
High officials of the Methodist
church were in executive conference.
They arose hastily as the sergeant ap
proached escorted by Dr. Fred B. Fish
er, associate director general. Bishops
pressed forward to grasp the hand of
the red haired ex-doughboy from the

Effoet of Levor f eport
Quito the most interesting bit of
political news reeclved. in Columbia
lately ia the report that there is a
probability of Asbury Lev**, of Lex
ington, member of Congress from the
seventh congressional district, resign
ing his seat to accept a presidential
appointment as a member of the farm
loan board, created six years ago.
It Is a safe bet that there will be

Sick
Women
Cardid, the woman’s
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "1 had a
general breaking-down
of my health. 1 was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. -1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
... and the pains were
► very severe. A friend
told me 1 had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui?... I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me... After 12 bottles,
1 am strong and well."

The Woman’s Tonic
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints s* common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—it
should help you back to
health. '
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardid.
She will tell you how It
helped her. Try Cardui.
AD Druggists
Exposition officials were eager to
entertain York before he left.
“Would you like to see the fire
works?" one of them asked.
‘Tve had enough fireworks on the
other side,” was York’s reply.
