As explained by Mr. Hawkjns, who Is extension livestock' specialist, the Important thing to remember Is that the carettHH should bo chilled as soon as possible and the meat kept cold to prevent bacterial action from taking place until salt bus penetrated sufficiently to prevent spoiling. If Hiiltuble weather does not occur, it inadvisable to use artificial refrigeration of some sort. S "Meat is nc\t only the most Importunt but generally the lnosf expensive Item in the diet," says the specialist. "An adequate supply of canned and cured meat und lard greatly reduces the expenditure, for food. The provident family, then, will make every effort to produce whatever pork and beef are needed for the food supply and to preserve by curing and canning all the cuts which cannot he used to advantage while frfsb. By making use ot these means of preserving meat, it is possible to distribute the supply throughout the entire twelve incut Its.

Who litis to be the one to conquer this enemy? No one can do so alone, but \ ott working in cooperation with your family physician may bring about the downfall of litis malady. The modern physcian now has weapons of defense at his disposal such as: tuberculin test, X-ray, fluroscope, stethoscope and experience which will enable him to assist you In the early detection itttd arrest of this disease. Since the doctors can not go into the highways and public places to bring people into their offices, each person must take the first step for himself. How would you know when to take this step? Let each person secure a complete physical examination at least twice a year and more often if indicated by such symptoms: loss of appetite, tiring on exertion, or a cough that persists for more than six weeks. It is essential that everyone be on guard of the welfare of their health by maintaining good personal hygiene, such as, proper food, proper amount of rest, exercise and fresh air. By so doing the resisting power of the system is kept up to par which will enable it to ward off the invasion of communicable disease among them being tuberculosis. 66 Below Is Coldest Recorded in U.

Johnson, native Georgian and writer of the Georgia school of "cracker" literature," gives in his "Goosepond School," one of the best pictures of the old log school presided over by a whipping schoolmaster, says H. L. Shaw, Jr., in his thesis "The Georgia Cracker as a Type in American Literature," submitted to the University of South Carolina in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the M. A. degree. Whipping was the order of the day and poor whites judged the efficiency of the teachers by the number of whippings their children received. "Brinkly Glisson, son of a widow, endured a daily flogging at the hands of the schoolmaster rather than leave school, and thus disappoint his mother. When Brinkly could no longer endure such inhuman treatment, he thrashed the tyrant soundly to the tune of "Jerusalem. My Happy Home." sung by Allen Thigby, a student at the same school." ????^ Wanted Hia Body Burned Columbia, Jan. 20.?An unusual proviso in the will of Henry Berry, of Marion county led his heirs to burn his body instead of giving it customary burial, lest they be disinherited, according to The Charleston News and j Courier of 1876, on file in the University of South Carolina library. At 8 o'clock the morning following 1 his funeral services at a church, his wooden casket waB placed on three large llghtwood logs, cut from trees | indicated, and located on a specified spot. Pieces of llghtwood were plac- , I ed around and on top until the pyre I reached a height of around nine feet. I Torches were applied to all sides, and the cremation process was completed in six hours. Berry wished his ashes to mingle I with those of the wood and to be blown away together and his will was obeyed.
