Many a case of typhoid and

they can be kept perfectly

WHAT THKY HAVE BERN DOING
Some Things th* Chamber of Com
merce Has Accomplished,
On November 27th, 1920, the in
terested citizens of Camden and Ker
shaw County met at the Court House
for the purpose of reorganising this
Chamber of Commerce. They were
"then asked to say what was most
needed for the upbuilding of your
City and County, and the following
needs were suggested: "
1. A Hotel You have it.
2 Community Market You have it.
3. Bakery You have it
4. Ice Plant You have it
6 Dairy and Creamery You have it.
6. Hydrp-Elecric Power. You have
iti. . ' . ' '
7. School building. You have it
8 Moving Picture Theatre. You
have it.
9 Fire Protection. You have it
10. Good Roads You have them,
and others are being built.
11 Street Improvements. Coming
soon.
12|. Sanitation. Being improved
daily.
13. Law enforcement Getting bet
er daily.
14. Peed Mill You have it.
15. Chea{p commutation tickets over
the Wateree Toll Bridge have been
granted.
Camden still has a thousand acres
of possibility with only one half acre
under cultivation, and if we will all
be animated by a common purpose
this fertile soil will soon be made to
bear fruit. But this can only be done
thru the Chamber of Commerce with
your full cooperation.
We are striving to take Kershaw
County to thPN^ntry- at large, and to
bring the best of people and entei*1
prises here, and this We cannot do
without your moral and financial aid.
IF YOU HAVE NOT PAID YOUR
SIGNED PLEDGE WILL YOU NOT
DO SO AT ONCE?
We are now free from debt and
are rendering such a well rounded
and resultful community service that
we feel sure it will be your pleasure,
as well as your duty, to no longer
thwart us in our efforts by withhold
ing your support.

Magazine Article.
Last summer. 1 spent severul weeks
in the woods and lived us nearly a
natural life as one well could. Thut
Is, everybody wore the kind of clothea
he wished to, and did about as he
phrased, without regard to futthlon of
arbitrary social custom. I noticed
that whenever anybody hired a guide
to perform work that he could Just
i us easily have doue himself ? such
as rowing up the . lake to go fish
lug ? he Immediately lost caste. It
was regarded as un admission of In
ability or weakness. TUe man most
admired In our party wus the one most
capable of being sufficient tyt*t? hliu
self? able to go forth and catch his
struct his own rude shelter. After a
mouth or two I grew accustomed to
the woods Idea that looking after
one's own wuots Is logical and com
mendable, and nearly forgot about the
modem city viewpoint. But the first
garage man I dealt with on my return
to civilization almost snubbed me
when he noticed that, though I had
a large auto, I was my own chauffeur
and filled my own grease cups. Then
I paused and thought how widespread
Is the difference In the attitude to
ward servants or helpers In the woods
and the city. Wherever our modern
social life is highly enough developed
It Is more or less disgraceful to do
anything useful that oue can poeslbly
hire done. A woman gains more so
cial prestige from keeping three1 hired
girls than from being the most expert
cook and most systematic housekeeper
In the neighborhood. Not to have serv
ants is to be Inferior. ? Fred C. Kelly,
In Leslie's Weekly.
NOT MATTER OF GALLANTRY
Surly Man Had Reasons Entirely Hie
Own for Giving Up Hie Seat in
Strest Car.
The old saying that "all fat men
are good natured" Is not borne out lu
Bill, an overly fat city employee of
Lob Angeles. Bill Is known as a wom
an hater and looks upon girls of the
giggling age as of no use whatever.
Frequently he spreads out over an en
tire seat In a street oar and growls
like a grizzly bear If a shop girl "has
the nerve" to make him contract suf
ficiently to make room for her.
On his way home recently Bill was
seen to arise and proffer his seat to
two girls who stood near.
"What's the Idea, Bill?" asked a fel
low employee. "Are you really getting
human?"
"Don't kid yourself," replied Bill
gruffly. "That's the hottest Beat I ever
encountered and I cover entirely too
much territory. That's all."
Pity. the City Child.
Little Helen is an apartment house
child.
Brought up In a northwest apart
ment, the sidewalks have been her
playgrounds, passera-by and automo
biles her playmates, the patches
around trees her only contact with
old mother earth.
Of course, there have been trips to
parks, and all thut, but of nature
as an entity she knows little. Like
most city dwellers, she has to feel
the heartbeat of the universe through
atom* and bricks.
One day recently her mother took
her into the suburbs to visit some
friends.
For awhile the child was contented
to play In the new rooms. But at
last she grew tired.
"Go play in the yard," her mother
said.
Helen looked In wonder.
"Where is the yard?" she asked.?

Concrete Houses.
The use of concrete houses is be
coming common In various sections of
the country. In connection with the
general program for the investigation
and improvement of housing condi
tions now being carried out by the
bureau of standards, several trips of
inspection have been made by mem
bers of the staff of that bureau tc
study Improvements in the building of
concrete houses. The trip recently
made Included many projects In the
vicinity of Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Chi
cago and Minneapolis. Oreat Improve
ments. both In the ordinary uses of
the concrete and in the architectural
and ornamental effects obtained, were
noted on this trip. It seems certain
that some style of concrete kouse will
become very common In the near fu

To Every Owner
Of a New Car
YOUR car deserves the best care that you ean give
it and will more than repay you for it. Either
from the standpoint of satisfactory serv ice, or of long
life or "trade-in" value, the closer attention you
pay to a number of things about your car the more
you will get out of it.
Although gasoline is onlv one of these, it is important. A
lot of tne obscure minor troubles in motors can l?c traced
to poor gasoline. If you use the grade of Polarine recom
mended for your car and "Standard*' Motor Gasoline, you
will not have chronic overheating of the motor, valve seats
pitted with carbon, gummed valve stems, a vile odor from
the exhaust caused by incomplete combustion, or fouled
spark plugs.
If you use "Standard" regularly you uill avoid troubles,
sometimes expensive and uIhuvh annoving, that arc cauncd
hv faulty gasolim*.
