THIS YEAR'S WEATHER ?? i 1'rophet Grunt Warn* of Much Rough Stuff Yet to Come There is much rough weather ahead of us yet, according to Mr. J. Martin Grant of Chester, who is a \Ve#ther prophet of *no mean ability. Mr. Grant writes in The Chester Report* er: No one doubts that there are causes for all phenomena of air and earth. There is something behind the change in temperature, storms and all gen eral atmospheric conditions. Spring, summer, fall and winter, come per petually in their order. Why is one winter longer and colder than anoth er? Why. is one summer dryer and hotter? The year 1925 is a sample of a dry summer. Why are they not all alike? At the same season every year our world is in the same relation to the sun. Whence comes such dif ference in season? The Jupiter cycle of long, cold winters is not central until 192$, and the cycle of greut and numerous "sun spots" is not central ! until 1928. Long cold winters, and ! the cold waves reaching farther South | and heavy precipitation and numer , ous storms on land and sea always follow these disturbances with unfail | ing regularity. Whether they are the 1 caus<? or not they coincide. Watch and see. The winter Of 1928-29, 1930-31 are the cycle for extreme long, cold win ters. Views as to winter of 1925-26 somewhat colder and more disagree able weather than the average win ters. The last week of December, 1925, and the opening days of Janu (ary, 1926. Iiook for snow in ,the 1 Northern states and rain and snow flurries in the Southern states. A Very cold wave will follow these dis turbances, central about the 29th or 30th of December, 1925. The period 12th to 17th of January rain sleet, snow and freezing weather. Be pre pared f6r this period. Much damage of telegraph and telephone wiros by the freeze will be reported." The last half of January the precipitation will be about the average with two mod erately cold waves. About the 12th ; to 16th of February anothfir rough ' period. Look for a blizzard in the West and Northwestern states with blinding snow storms to the North Atlantic states. This storm will reach the Southern states, but in a rrtilder form..Jyrepare for a cold wave. This | promises to be the coldest period of the winter, but keep in mind tne last week in December,. 1925, and the opening days of January and the 14th, 15th and 16th. The temperature may go to the lowest. The last half of February promises to be stormy. Watch the closing days of February and the> first, week in March. | The last .light to Ijeavy frost to ! reach the cotton states in the spring i will be about April 11th to 14th, cen tral about the 12th. The first light frost in the . fall t$ reach the cotton states will be about October 4th to 7th. Tho first killing frost to "reach ithe eotton states will .be about No vember 3rd to 6th, central on the 4th. A real cold wave will reach the South ern States about December 2nd and 3rd, seeding freezing weather to the j coast. . f ' /V depend upon the yield of crop* from your acres c>4 pound of Cotton, Tobacco , Corn or other crops, from HIGH YIELDING ACRES carry less of cost of land, seed, cultivation, etc., than from Low Yielding Acres, because there are more pounds to share the Cost.

Louise M. Brown The work among crippled children is, perhaps, tho most interesting branch of public health work. Per hap.- ;? ehilJ has club feel. His par ent# i (?ii^eiit to having a specialist see him. He is taken to tho Ortho pedic Clinic at the Columbia Hospital any Tuesday, There a history of the case is taken, and a complete physical ( examination, including a blood test, is done. Then he is seen by the spec; ialist who orders an X-ray it nec I essary. A diagnosis is made and, if 'there is to be an operation, the child is admitted to the hospital. The child is often allowed to go home be tween treatments, returning to the hospital at stated intervals for ob servation. As a result of treatment, the child becomes able to > attend school, play with other children, and, as he groys older, is a useful citizen. At times our attention is caJled to some child who appears to be an or-> thopedic case, but who reall# has a case of rickets. * A child m&i' be slow in learning to sit up, stand or walk, or there may be a delay in cuttinfc the teeth. He has a pale, pasty com plexion and becomes nervous, fidgety, irritable, and dislikus being handled, fie sweats about the ,head and neck. He suffers from colic, indigestion and constipation. His muscles become soft and flabby resulting in slowness in learning to sit up. The flabbiness of the muscles makes the little back round like (an arch in its effort to Hold itself up straight.' As a rule the abdomen is distended. The head begins t<i look square shaped with a flat top, and seems too big for .the body. The chest is flat and narr'Ow, and a row of lumps or a deep groove across the ribs can be felt through the skin. The long bones of the legs are softened and bend under ? the weight of the body, causing bow-leg*. The bones break easily, and in severe cases even slight falls may cause ? fractures. Be sure to give the baby plenty of sunshine and . fresh air. Lack of these make infants more likely to become sufferers from Vick eta. Plenty of sunshine, directly on the skin, not through a window pane, is most Sielpful in preventing and curing this disease. When a baby is thought to have rickets, consult your family physician at once and he will give instructions for treatment and diet. Dr. J. E. Turner, from the State Board of Health, has been holding dental clinic's in the Camden schools. All pupils have had their, teeth thor oughly examined. ? Reports have been sent to the parents who may have the suggested work done by their, own dentist if they prefer, although tb'-' work is done at a minimum rate at the clinic. * Tooth brush \ drills and profitable talks on the care of tho teeth are given the pupils. This i? another very necessary branch of pub lic health work, and one in which every parent should see the rjeed. Jt is hoped that another year will see many of these clinics through the county. ? : V Mr. W. G. Wilson, local registrar, reports the following for the past year: ' ' In the city of , Camden there were 51 white births and 49 colored births. Against this were 18 white deaths and 32 colored deaths. In DeKalb Town ship there were 81 white births and 201 colored births with 59 white deaths and 124 colored deaths. Births and deaths include still-birthns and deaths at Camden hospital. Desperate Convicts Escape Columbia, S. C., Jan. 16. ? Three negro convicts, all described as "des perate^ men," overpowered a guard at the state prison farm near Rem bert, and escaped late Friday after noon, according to information re ceived by Capt. B. E. Evans of the penitentiary guard. The men are O'Dell Sims, Of Spar tanburg, convicted of assault and battery with jntent to kill; Elkin Wil liams, of Charleston, convicted of murder, and Joe Bailey, of Colleton, convicted of assault and battery with -intent to kill. Details of the escape were not j known here nor was- it known who ; the guard was or whether h<- was- in-, jured. Captain Evans declared persons ? I seeking to apprehend the convicts j should exercise great cautipn, as ! "they are all desperate men\ and they i have the gun they took from the guard, which they would probably -wii-," he said. Bloodhounds from Sumter were asked for by farm officials. Mink raising as a side line to farm ing is proving a successful venture to a farmer near Charlottftown, Prince Edward Island. This season be had 39 offspring from nine litters. Thbugh the ex-bandit Cole Younger for jrainy years carried seventeen bul lets ip his body, he died at the age of 72 in4>ed with his boots off. For 1925 there were seventeen mic cessful candidates for the position of Foreign Service Officer, anions them a young woman of twenty-nine, the first of hv p sex to fill a consular position. She is Miss Pat tie Field, vice-consul at Amsterdam. MASTER'S SALE Slate of South Carolina, . County of Kershaw. (Court of Common Pleas) W, L, Hlackmon, Plaintiff, against^* John C. Robertson, L. J.
