RUTLEDGE STREET During Hot Months Serve Iced Tea ' To get best results iced tea must be correctly prepared and poured hot over ice. DURING the hot months there is j no moie refreshing drink than' iced tea Some housewives, however, do not know there is correct way and an incorrect way of preparing iced tea. Here is one method: Prepare hot tea in individual china pots, using freshly boiling water and two tender-leaf tea balls instead of one, to a' low for dilution by the ice. Serve pot of tea w;th tall glass of cracked ice and pour hot tea over ice at the table. Care must be taken to brew the tea at the proper time so that the water will not remain in contact with the tea longer than five minutes. To make iced tea uMtur loose tea from the tender-leaf halt pound or rniar'e- ??onnd < 'r-, the correct proporti n is one and one-half table spoons u? tea to f>n ? quart of boiling water. I.arjicr quant lies should be made in proportion. Allow to brew five minutes and strain from grounds. Careful service of iced tea is very important. Plenty of ice should be used in tall glasses to give cool and sparkling appearance to the bever ai'e. Nicely cut lemon and powdered sugar should always be served with iced tea. Half a slice of orange or a ?prig of mint in the top of the glass adds a refreshing touch. And here is a recipe that ij a pop ular one: To each tall glass of iced tea add from one to one and one half ounces of crushed canned pine apple and syrup. Serve with slice of lemon, sprig of mint and crushed ice. Here is another favorite recipe: To eat h tall ^lass of iced te:i add from one and one-half to two ounces ? f finger syrup. Serve with slice of lemon, sprig of mint and crushed ica. 6 6 6 LIQtJII) - TABLETS - SALVE I Checks Malaria in 3 days, Colds firs' day, Headaches or Neuralgia in 30 minutes.

S. Department of! fiTriculture. The annual game "cen- ' ioqo' U ?n estimates the year1 1932 gives a total for the 148 Natio- ' nal Forests of 1,163,142 big game' ammals Although this figure was: slightly lower than the total for 1931 ; of 1,1.5,955 game animals on the National Forests are estimated to have increased 40 pe\:ent since 1926 1 he greater pari of the big game' .in the Western States is to be lound m the National Forests. . According to the Forest Service, 75 percent of the rotal western big game range lies within the National Forests. Although under protection and planned management, wild life is be Madually incrcuscd in ccrtuin States and within the National Forests, wild life in general has de creased and is still decreasing on much of the forest land of the coun try. In the recent "Copeland Report" to the Senate, the Forest Service rec "mr'-M.ded :? co rdinat^d p ogram ol Vile iiu ..langement and land man agement looking to tlv.' maintenance of wild life on the principle of sus tained yield. Several requirements were listed: 1. Provision of adequate areas for wild life, and unification of wild life i rest land management. 2. Provision for adequate public hunting grounds. The National Forests, the bulk of which are ni the Wester ^nStates, are the only existing large-scale public hunting grounds. 3. Establishment of non-partism State game commissions in all States. 4. Basic wild life research. 5. Public education to obtain a general recognition of the values of wild life as a forest land resource and ' to promote gord sportsmansnip. According to the estimates of game i on the National Forests, deer de- , creased from 969,330 in 1931, to 946,- j 54G in 1932 carrying with this decline the slight decrease in the total of all ( big game. Forage conditions and more intensive hunting are believed to have temporarily halted the in- j erase in deer. Antelope, brown and j black bears, elk and moose, under j game and forest management have shown consistent gains for two years. I Grizzly bears, including the big ' Alaska brown bear, are estimated at 5,164 against 3,747 in the National) Forests the preceding year. Exclud- 1 ing Alaska, however, the grizzlies have dwindled in number from 747 to 664. They have so decreased in the West that in several States extinction of the species seems near. Nationrl Fo osts in Montana lead with 42], Black and brown bears, the play- ! boys of the forests, have increased i from 50,596 to 52,331. There are 9,961 | in California National Forests around ! 5,000 to 8,000 each in Washington,1 Oregon, Montana, Idaho and Alaska! -and 1,500 to 2,900 each in Colorada, I Minnesota and Wyoming. The White' Mountain Forest in New Hampshire! claims 780. Flordia National Forests show heavy gains with 255, Pennsyl vania heavy losses with 125 bears re- I maining in the Alleghany National1 Forest North Carolina Forests have 3", Virginia 495, West Virginia1 about 300. Elk are gaining in the National ?orests 0f the West, but only about ('? remain in the forests of the East Altogether the Forest Service ac count* for 103,856 of them, against ??<',905 in 1931. Moose are holding their own, with 7,854 head, chiefly in Minnesota, Oregon, Washington, Montana and Wyoming. Nearly half of the 21,736 mountain goats range in Alaska with numbers al$o in I Washington, Montana and Idaho Forests. Mountain sheep are most numerous in the National Forests of Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho I and Alaska, in order given, nr.d i number altogether about 12,500. ' Deer, interesting vast numbers of | hunters, have had particular attention in Forest Service game management plans. Removals have been made from several over- stocked areas. Several hunderd were removed from j th Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina last winter by regulated | hunting. In other National Forests | restocking is encouraged. California National Forests still lead with 278, 660 head. In New Mexico, a rapid gain last year brought the deer pop ulation above 100,000, Oregon ;.nrl Arizona Forests have ovor 80,000 each, an dUtah, Idaho, Montana and Alaska Forests over 50,000 each. The Lake States National Forests now have 23,595 deer, showing tremendous gains in two years. In the Eastern and Southern States there are some 30,000, the bulk of them in Pennsyl vania, North Carolina, New Hamp shire, Arkansas and Florida National Forests. I DARLINGTON WILL BE HOST STATE TENNIS TOURNAMENT When Darlington undertakes an I event of importance it receives at tentioh in keeping with the real meaning of the proposition. Tennis has been in the air here for some timev many victories have been won; seeded players are plentiful enough for a large harvest, and this inculdes alike the feminine and the masculine devotees of the entrancing game. Municipal tennis courts here are unsurpassed in their finish, and there :s nothing lacking to make the sport attractive to all. Promoters have arranged tu have a State tennis tournament, the first of its kind ever held in South Carolina. This one very special feature will add to the number and calibre of the contestants who will take part in the tournament. The first South Carolina tennis tournament ? closed ? will be played on the Darlington municipal courts. September 4 to 9, inclusive. This tournament is being sponsored by the Darlington Tennis Club to determine the State tennis championship. All contestants must be bona fide resi dents of the State. This is the first closed tennis tournament ever to be held in ? V State. The movement has the cooperation and backing of the people and busi ness men of Darlington and suitable trophies have already been donated. Included in this list of trophies is a handsome three-year men's singles cup. Tho tournament will include events as follows: Men's singles and doubles; junior singles and doubles; consolation singles, and women's singles and doubles, if the demand is sufficient. Entries must be received by September 2, and should be ad dressed to Tennis Committee, Box 412, Darlington, S. C.

I did not rest well at night, and my appetite was poor. "My mother had used Cardui ffith beneficial result, bo I decided to take it. I surely am glad I did, for it stopped the pain in my side and built up my general hoalth. I took seven bottles in all." Cardui 1b ?old at all drug store*.

Road Expenditure THE research activities of the United States Bureau of Public Hoads have been carried on behind the scenes so far as the general public Is concerned. They have, however, contributed materially to the progress of highway construc tion for many years, and are now about to play an important part in assuring that the roads to be built or improved under the $400,000,000 allotmer; from the public works I fund '-'.nil give the service to be j demanded of them. In its tests laboratory tit Arling- I ton, Virginia, across the Potomac from Washington, tho Bureau has ! carried on research covering both sub-surface, or foundation, road soils, and the problem of providing satisfactory surfaces for low-cost highways. The latter phase of its research will prove of special im- I porta*. ce to rural districts where high-cowt roads aro not necessita ted by the amount of tralhc, and where they would impose a heavy tnx burden for maintenance. Surfacing Low-Cost Roads Tho extent to which low-cost roads can be provided with a smooth and durable surface de ponds largely upon retention of surface moisture, for it is the pre Hence of a moisture film between the surface particles that provides the "glue" to hold them together, and that keeps the surfaces ot clay, sand-clay and gravel roads from disintegrating. ' Such moisture content can not be satisfactorily furnished and maintained by sprinkling or any other known means of mechanic ally applying water to tho surface I Tho attention of Uie engineers, therefore, has been directed to the use of some chemical which will automatically dfaw the desired | moisture from the air above or the earth below. Calcium chloride Is a chemical of this kind. Applied to the road sin face it both draws moisture from the air and slows down evapora tion. A rainfall carries It beneath the surface, but as the surface moisture evaporates, the calcium chloride solution rises to take its place and furnish tho "glue" to hold logethor the surface particles. With each rainfall and subseoufnt evaporation of surface moist ore tho process Is repeated, th? nt.t result being that the surface has no opportunity to dry out and dis integrate. The shrinkage test, another of the many tests used to determine the reactions of soils when subject to changing load, moiRture and tem perature conditions. A moist sample of soil is placed in the j laboratory "oven" and the amount I of shrinkage observed when all the j moisture has been removed. AmonR the most huportant f a< tors that iiifliiPiic '? the action of the sub surfneo soils is capillarity. or ? ? ho oxtnnt to which capillary ac tion pormoatos them with moisture? drawn up from (be ground wato.r j Ah In tho r.aso of the Rurfaro "tolls, a certain amount of moistum is t highly dosirahlo. but too mm h div. Integra tos them just as too mu< h i water disintegrates a handful of dump sand. Bub surface soils which attract excessive capillary , moist urn are also subject to tho frost heaves' that ruiu many roada. j The Drainage Indicator, used to study the rise of water in a noil sample under varying conditions of pressure. A device developed by tho Hnrenu I* iid known as u drainage indicator makes it possible to do torinino both tho maximum capil lary rise in l bo soil undor test, and tbo rate at which tho ground water will r ise duo to capillary attraction. The device shows also the relative amounts of air, gravitational rnois turo (rain water, etc.), capillary moisture mid solid particles which Ko to make up tho soil. Thf? Capillary Rise The tremendous amount of water that can be furnished by capillary action is indicator] by tho composi tion of a sample ten foot column of soil The sample contained fi.ft feet soil particles, U foot gravitational moisture and air, and 3.5 feet capll lary moisture. The maximum ca pillary rise was 9 feet, and at 1.5 feet above the ground water the rate of the rise was 10.4 feet per hours Soil is not a calculable and stable material to the same extent as steel, stone or wood, but the tes's developed by tho U. fl liurenu of I'ublic. Roads enable the highway engineer to forecast, the reaction of his soil under varying condition?* with a high degree of accuracy. At the name timo they show in what, necessary qualities the soil he must depend upon Is deficient, and Indicate what con st incuts should be added to repair those doflelonciea.
