LEMOCO PAINT JB&/ PRODUCTS YggV CW^HyJw^* </ FIRST AID FOR INFLUENZA Influenza needs skillful watching. INFLUENZA got lta name from an Italian word that means Influence, and our word "in.lueuco" takes its root from the sumo Italian word. The connection between inlluence and a very troublesome disease may seem a bit remote, but tin* Italian savants oi that day sup- i postal that influenza was influenced , by l he movement of heavenly j bodies That explanation matches mud- 1 em science in several ways. The modern experts tell us that influenza comes from a virus, which is merely a name for something wo don't really k,no\v and have never seen. In fact the virus is far less predictable than the movement of the heavenly bodies, witness sporadic and sometimes violent epidemics of Influenza. Now that winter is here it is well to give a thought to influenza. It ' may miss you, but it is everywhere and if one gets run down, or cold or suffers from improper diet, it may strike. There is no mistaking its symptoms, with chills, fever and what someone has aptly called the "creeping misery." If it comes see your doctor at once, for It Is potentially dangerous. He may give you quinine, but he'll certainly keep you in bed for J a few day.s to ward off tho dreaded ( aftermath of so many apparently mild cases, pneumonia. Doctors, in Europe, more than those in America, have long ago pointed out that it's better not to get influenza at all than have to go to bed to fight an attack. They have proved to their satisfaction that five grains of quinine taken ev^ery day from November to March will most likely keep people from ever getting the disease. Other doctors doubt this, but thousands of the general public believe it. Many are quite willing to testify on their use of quinine to avoid influenza. Perhaps the best answer is to try It, anyway. The cost Is trifling, and if it works one avoids a troublesome and often dangerous disease. Payment of Salaries To Be Discontinued Columbia, Jan. 29.?Oscar M. Powell, executive director of the Social Security Board In Washington, telegraphed the' house of represntatives today that the federal government would discontinue payment of salaries to the three members of the South Carolina Unemployment Compensation Commission, effective April first. Each member of the commission, Sam B. Pratt, Jr., chairman; A. J. Hatfield, vice-chairman and the late Cole L. Blease received salaries of $3,600 a year under tho Social SecurI ity Act. Powell said the board, in a meeting January 27, "had determined that an expenditure of $3,600 per annum for each member of tho commission, is not necessary for proper and efficient administration and that beginning April 1, 1942, funds for that purpose would no longer be provided." FINAL DISCHARGE _ Notice la hereby given that one month from this date, on March 18, 1942, Willie Bell English and Thklma, Omega Moody will make to the TTobate Court of Kershaw county their j final return as Executrlcies of the estate of Cora Lse Jackson, deceased,] and on the same d^te they will apply to the said Court for a final discharge as said Executrlcies.

Lawyer Wanted; Girl, 18, Runs Saloon ! Apparently it is legal for an 18year-old girl to operate a saloon (in 1 Illinois. Whether such a thing will , j be permitted by the Illinois liquor control commission or the city in the future awaits the outcome of several investigations now under wayThe 18-year-old girl with a saloon license is Jennie Sawadslu. William M. Devine, secretary of the Illinois liquor control commission, declared j that he had obtained no legal opin- 1 ion from Attorney General Barrett on the matter of an 18-year-old girl's j I obtaining u saloon license, but that i "curbstone" opinion had it that this | was perfectly legal. Under the state law a girl of 18 "shell be considered I of legal age for all purposes." "The police," Mr. Devine said, "consider girls under 21 minors and wo encourage this. But legally a , girl over 18 is an adult." | The city in issuing licenses follows the state law, according to Deputy City Collector George F. Lohmann. i That's why the city license for the i Sawadski saloon was issued, i Looking further Into the legal asI pect of the case, it was learned that 1 the city ordinance forbidding the sale of intoxicating liquor to minors, specifies a minor in this instance as a person 16 years of age. > A state law, howqyer, forbids the sale or giving away > of liquor to boys under 21 and girls under 18. I Yes, legally, a girl can start drlnki mg three years earlier than a boy. | Lotta Crabtree Left Three Million Dollars Charlotte Mignon Crabtree, daughter of John Ashworth Crabtree, a j bookseller, was born in New York, , November 7, 1847. At the time of the gold rush in California the Crabtrees came to the Pacific coast. Lotta made her first appearance on the stage in Petaluma, Calif., where, at the age of six^ -she played the part of Gertrude in. "The Loan of a Lover." Her mother was an ac-' tress who "played in the mining camps of California, and so Lotta, who accompanied her mother, became a favored young actress with the early California miners. In 1864 she decided to try her luck in New York, and in that year appeared at old Niblo's Gardens, bpt she made, an Unfavorable Impression and it was not until three years later when she played the part of Little Nell in Brougham's "Little Nell and the Marchioness" that she received any marked degree of success. ' Other favorite parts were "The Little Be: tective," "Zip," "Musette," and ! "The Firefly." Critics found little to 1 approve in the pieces in which she I appeared and claimed that her suc! cess was entirely due to her personal charm. In London she met . with such a cold reception on her { first and much heralded visit, that : she never returned to the continent. ' She made a fortune on the stage and I then added to her wealth by shrewd ; real estate investments, and by a 1 string of race horses, which she entered successfully at harness meets. She retired in 1891 'and made her home in California and New York. Protection Against Grease When a dirty or greasy job is to be done, time will be saved by first coating the hands with something that will keep the dirt from working i into the pores of the skin. One good material for this can be made by dissolving two ounces of gum arabic in one pint of water, to be mixed ' with one pound of soap chips, dissolved in one pint of water. The 1 liquid is heated in a double boiler, 1 and one ounce of lanolin is then added. The result is a soft paste, to be rubbed well into the skin, and especially under and around the finger nails. On finishing the job, the hands can be washed with clear water, or with soap and water. It is worth while to make up a quantity of the compound, to be : stored in tin cans or glass jars until 1 needed. I Sugar Determines Action Just why man behaves as a human being is an intriguing chemical problem, says Dr. Edward Poj dolsky of Brooklyn, New York, and I it is now known that there is an intimate tie-up between thfe way you act and the amount of sugar in your blood. | Dr. Podolsky says the criminal j has little sugar in his blood and that is one reason why he is a criminal. The clearest-cut cases of what' people act like when their blood sugar gets too low are found among people With diabetes. Diabetics take injections of insulin which uses upr the excess sugar in their blood. It is an excess of sugar that causes diabetes in the first place. I Montana Sapphires The war may yet make Montana the sapphire center of the Western hemisphere. Shipments of the precious gems from the Old world have been steadily decreasing because of the Atlantic blockade, but defense activities have brought about an everincreasing demand. ? Reason is that the sapphire is not. only a pretty stone to adorn a girl's ring or a man's stickpin. It! is also a necessity for use as bearings in the manufacture of scientific lostfum 6 fits The sapphire is second only to tbe diamond in hardness and is much im ?id?j in i"I -?i Full-Grown Ocean F'sh Live but Twelve Mcn*h> ' In the groat world of ocean life, ; we And animals of almost every i size. They range f?\>m whales down to tiny forms of hfo which can be ! seen only with the help of a micro- I scope. Among the fish, we have extr i ! large sharks whu-h grow to a lengtn of 6ti or tK> fret. Wr ntro hnvr smnttl fish known as the gobies (pronounced go-b;z). Most gobies are front two to s^x inches in length, but certain kinds are shorter than two inches, and nth- | ers are inolY than two fot t long. One kind?when full - grown?measures j only a half inch from its nose to the tip of its tail. This little goby j -is found about the shot us of lite Philippine islands. Although they are cn'led "white," j these gobies are not really white. ! They are almost like window glass; you can see through them. The white goby has perhaps the shortest life of any animal with a backbone. It grows to old age within a year after being h&tqhed. Where scientists have been able to study its life history they haye found it dies in 12 months or less. The California coast has the blind goby. This small, pink fish has a smooth skin. When young, it has eyes which work very well, but these lose their sight as time goes on. The young one fastens itself to the dark underside of a rock, or slowly moves about dark openings between rocks. It has little use for eyesight, and by the time it grows up it is quite blind. Birds Most Skillful of Animals in Nest Building Because their young?at first only eggs?are so utterly helpless, birds have developed a skill in home building that few animals can equal. Except for the excellent bird-like structures built by field mice, kangaroo rats and gophers, the most pretentious mammalian nest is probably that of the beaver. This symbol of industry not only builds an elaborate home, but equips it with a swimming tfQol. Yet the home bUikting instinct of the beaver, highly developed as it is, has only incidental, not essential survival value for the species. Some beavers are content with holes dug in a stream bank, and do very well there. The same . goes for the beaver's little cousin, the muskrat, which also can teach most birds something about nest building. Some birds build no nests at all, but there is usually a valid reason for such an aberration. The California condor broods in inaccessible places, and flnjdts.ja nest unnecessary. Many sea birds have no enemies, or they nest together in such vast numbers that no nest building ma--tewal is available. Some shore birds brood on bare shore, where a nest structure would be dangerously conspicuous. Other birds dig secure cavities in trees and in the earth and by the time the nest is dug they are apparently too tired to finish it up with a fuzzy lining. Perfumes Best on Skin _In the Broadcast, a bulletin published by the Drycleaning Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania State college, the editors make a plea for an educational campaign to be started among American women regarding the proper application of perfume. It seems that perfumes give best results when applied to the skin rather than to fabrics. When applied to a garment, the fragrance may change to an unpleasant odor and may even resist the dry-cleaning process. Perfumes are likely to contain substances which stain textile fabrics. The alcohol content may cause dyes to circle and bleed and certain of the essential bases used can actually damage cellulose acetate rayon. It behooves women, therefore, to apply perfume to the skin rather than to their clothing, not only because the effect is "daintier," but to economize on their cleaning budget, and co-operate with the dry cleaner in the performance of his trade. V _ The Navy Conies First' The gray-haired man in civilian clothes told the store elerk he wanted to buy some trousers. The clerk ; showed him a pair of trousers that seemed to please, and the customer went into an alcove to try them on. Then, in came two navy petty officers. The clerk told the man in the alcove that the house tailor was busy With the petty officers, would the customer mind^waiting? "The navy comes first," he explained. "You know, national defense." Smilingly, the customer said he'd wait. Some time later the clerk returned and the trousers were fitted, "Will you charge it?" the cuestonier asked, "The name is Kimmel." . "Admiral Husband E. Klmmell" the clerk exclaimed. ^ "That's Tight," said the commander in chief of the United States fleet, smiling again. Butadiene, Combustible Gas Since butadiene, a combustible gas.

Early Spring Hints On Care Of Livestock Well laid plans for breeding and feeding are keynotes to success with livestock in early spring, says County Agent/W. C. McCarley, making these ripggestlons: Animal Husbandry ? Make use of the small grains, barley, oats, and rye for hog grazing. Graze fenced cover crops with beef cattle. ^ Allow sheep one-half pound of grain per day and all the good roughage they will eat. Improve permanent pastures by applying phosphorous and lime. Sow lespedeza on permanent pasture in late March and early April. Keep the breeding cows maintaining their weight. If sows have lice, treat them with motor oil two or throe weeks before farrowing. Dock and castrate lambs when they are 7 to 14 days old. Dairying?Breed as many.cows as possiblo during February for calving in November and early" December. I Plan abundance of home-grown feed for next winter's feeding. Provide for each mature cow: Silage, at least three tons, or legume hay, two tons, or a combination of silage and hay; corn, eight bushels; velvet beans, 420 pounds; oats, 15 bushels;' cottonseed meal, four sacks; permanent pasture, two acres; pearl millet, onehalf acre. Continue to repair fences, clean up the lots and grounds, and whitewash out-buildings and fences. Watch calves and yearlings for I ce, which at this season do greatest damage. Poultry?Put brooding equipment in working order. Purchase chicks early, as records show that earlyhatched chicks are the most profitable. Provide clean range for chicks and pullets. Hold hatching eggs not over 14 days before setting. Plan to attend the poultry meeting in Columbia February 11. Army Camps Using S. C. Vegetables Columbia, Feb. 2,?'Military camps at Columbia, Spartanburg and Augusta are consuming a considerable volume of fresh vegetables grown In South Carolina, states J. E. Young* blood, specialist with the Marketing Division of the Clemson Extension Service. These vegetables come from the coastal section of the state, principally Charleston and Beaufort counties* In addition to several thousand bushels of sweet potatoes coming from all parts of the state since the laat harvest season, fresh vegetables now In season \ire being ordered by the Quartermaster Market Center with headquarters at Columbia. These | vegetable# include spinach, collards, rutabagas, and turnip greens, | The quartermaster center serves I Port Jackson at Columbia, Camp Croft at Spartanburg, and Camp Gordon at Augusta. The vegetables sold to these camps are required to meet the standardization requirements of the U. 8. No. 1 grade and the division of markets Is assisting In helping producers package their produce to thiB end. "Vegetable producers have In thispurchasing program both an opportunity and a responsibility", says Youngblood. "Opportunity to enlarge the market outlet of such crops to the extent offered by this program and the responsibility of delivering products of such quality and condition as to Justify further and Increased business with military centers. "The fact must be kept In mind that If South Carolina produce is not of satisfactory quality, purchasing officials must look elsewhere for such supplies." r ' I , [farmers are Urged to repair farm machinery I Kershaw county farmers are urged to use. the school farm shops In repairing farm machinery and equipment. according to H. A. Small, agricultural teacher in the Camden high schools. These shops aire under the ^ supervision of the local teacher of, vocational agriculture and are avail-" able to every farmer in the scnool communities. Through local School " funds and funds allotted by the U. S. office of education, these shops are equipped to repair almost any type of farm machinery. Farmers may bring, the machinery to the shop and repair it theriiselves, in some instances the machinery may be repaired in defense training classes and the farmer I would be required to furnish only the necessary repair parts. Reductions in new farm machinery In 1942 are necessary to make more steel available for other defense needs. wThls means that old * machinery that normally would be : discarded must be used and maintatned at maTfmntn efficiency. Mora food must be produced this year and~ this means that farm machinery must be In unusually good condition. It fs urgent that farmers check * their machinery at once Tot necessary repairs. Those who wait until goring or summer to check over and repair their machinery may find it extremely difficult to get needed parte. ^ In Kershaw county shops are lo-' cated at Camden; Blaney, Beihune, Antloch. Midway and Baron DeKalb. ' Before bringing machinery to these shops, farmers should get in touch with the local teacher of agriculture at the high school. Agriculture teachers hare arranged spedal days ' and hours whe^ tht shops will be open and available to farmers of the connnunlty. ."
