Comfort for tho Schoolma’am.
Alabama and Washington are follow
ing the Texas idea and erecting cot
tages for the teachers of the rural
'schools. The idea is to do away with
the old and never satisfactory plan of
“boarding ’round,” a relic of pioneer
days. In Texas the Ichool directors
tract these cottages near the school
house and one county has six of them.
In one town the citizens bought the
land and erected the house by public
aubecription. This place has six acres
of land around it. in other places the
teachers have five and six room cot-
tea, lire together on the co-operative
Plhh and hire a woman to do the house
work. Texas has over 100 teachera
cottage. The plan gives the teachers
a chance for privacy and a touch of
home life that is lacking under the
system in vogue in other places. It is
bltely that the plan will continue to
extend until there is a teacher s oottage
in every school district.
Th« American Lagioa.
The American Legion is an organiza
tion trying to get into communication
with, enlist the help of and secure the
cooperation of those men scattered
throughout the country who would
come to the defense of their country in
ease of war. It is a movement which
deserves the success with which it has
met, because, in case £f war, it could
• be of the greatest assistance. Men who
t have had training in the regular army
| in the states' militia or in civil life, and
f who would volunteer in case of war,
should be located, registered and kept
in communication with each other.
The American Legion is simply an
. organization that will assist the govern
ment in case of need. It asks neither
state nor national aid, financially or
otherwise.

It is estimated that 2,000 acres were
sown in wheat in Barnwell County last
fall, as compared with 30 acres in 1910.
This is a splendid step, in the right
direction and if followed up will make
the farmers of this section independent
of the cotton speculators.
We believe we would feel better if
we could get that Spring poem out of
our system, but really we haven’t the
energy to make the start.
And what has become .of the old-
fashioned farmer who used to bring the
editor a bunch of crisp “sparrow grass”
about this time o' year?
It took the Keowee Courier a half-
column to discuss “our greatest need,”
whereas we can sum it up in our word
•—money. *
Well, you have been wishlhg for the
belmy day* of Spring, so why complain
of that tired feeling?

says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic She says further: “Before 1 began to use
Cardui, my Tack and head would hurt so bad, 1
thought the pain would kill me I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gained 35 pounds, and now, 1 do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill
1 wish every suffering woman would give
CARDUI
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, wom-out feelings, etc, are sure signs of woman
ly trouble Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
