Just been reprinted und is again available
for distribution through the Publications
Department at Clemsou or
through the county agents.
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.
It is estimated that tlnee hogs
v.eit;hing 2"n pounds each and one
l-e-l" animal weighing thin pounds will
tttrnish enough meat when properly
preserved to provide lor a family of

Tuberculosis Named
Public Enemy No. 1
Much to your surprise Public Enemy
Number One is in our midst.* We'refer
to that subtle, creeping, stealthy
disease k^mwii as Tuberculosis."' 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.

Ever Hear of Pupil Whip Teacher?
Columbia, Jan. 20.?Did you ever
hear of & pupil who whipped his teacher?
H. M. 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."

Columbia, Jan. 20.?An unusual proviso
in the will of Henry Berry, of
Marion county led his heirs to burn

blown away together and his will was
obeyed.
