v Jjir ^P-/ PROHIBITION TRAIN" COMING. HP Worshippers of Bacchus Getting i; State of Preparedness. H Columbia, Dec. 24.?South Care linians are getting in a state of pre II ? Uparedness for prohibition, for every r one knows that this grand old com I monwealth goes out of the liquo t business on the night of Decembe ; 31. In order not to be caught at th l mercy of the strong and militan i power of thirst many are fast mo bilizing all the available resources o whiskey, beer, wine and the othe -units of local option which is no\ -on its last line of defence. A fever ish activity prevails among all of th fifteen counties and reports from al * ^sections early this morning were tha Sundown on the day of December 3 would see everything in readiness 10 the forces of prohibition, which wil gwrison South Carolina after th first of the year. jriu ThA idea of DreDaredness does no B - seem to be confined to the dispensar; B counties. According to the informa B tion obtainable from many unques B| Cloned sources some of the inhabi B tants of the counties which repudiat B ed the G. M. I. years ago are joininj B fieartily in the preparedness pro gramme for prohibition and are bus; B assisting in transporting the wa By ores of the fast fading dispensarie B to places of safety. In fact, it woul< B seem as if the proposition is State B^wide. B^/:' Gathering Half-Pints. B ''Gather ye half pints while y< B may,"-seems to be the injunction o B the seer. Not only are they gather B^ing ftalf pints, but pints, quarts "an< B -even gallons. There are severa stories floating around about this mai B and that man having bought so man; gallons of rye or corn or wine, as th< mt case might be. S'i declare," said an observer "thii B morning, "I have never seen tin Me of people buying liquor." Jus W( then .he called the attention of th< reporter to a squad of men who wen Vgpassing each with a suitcase in his L| itod. And they were all coming Bt from the direction of the dispensary B \ and the way in which they were car B/ tying the suitcases showed that the: Be ware loaded. Bf ^lBtit returning to the preparednesi method, all kinds of transports ar< K being utilized. Handbags, suitcase; B and grips are the most popular. Bu Just anything which affords a cover ing is used when the other convey anees are not handy. Paper bags m ^crocus sacks and even old clothes ar< Presorted to.

BLAME TEETH AX J) TONSILS. ii Heal Causes of Rheumatism, According to This Dentist. "I used to have neuralgia so much in the top of my head," said the den J tist's patient, "but it's all gone now." _| "Are you sure it was neuralgia," r' he asked. I "Why, of course," she answered. ej "It came and went just like neuralt! gia and it was just that kind of a J pain." ^ "But it's stopped since that bad r' upper molar on the left side has-been v treated and filled?" queried the den,_! tist. i "Why?why?so it has!" exclaimi i ed the patient. "You don't suppose t it was that tooth?" j | "I don't suppose it was neuralgia," ! he laughed. "You'd be surprised j how many cases of neuralgia get cured that way. Also rheumatism." I "Oh, say, now, doctor, that's too t; far fetched. You can't tell me that I bad teeth cause rheumatism." y ''Nevertheless," answered the dentist, as he selected a wicked looking drill, "numerous cases of rheuma_: tism have been cured by attending to 1 the teeth. An eminent specialist in _ I rheumatism who happens to be a ,T j friend of mine tells me that rheumaV | I tism can almost always be traced to 1 two causes?bad tonsils and bad j teeth. "I remember the first case of rheumatism I cured, though I did it unknowingly. "A man patient with a badly achj: ing tooth came for treatment. He J told me he bad been having, rheuma- ( j | tism very badly in his right arm for < 11 almost a month?that it hurt so he 1 was hardly able to raise his arm. A ( P couple of days before his tooth had g begun aching and it acljed so horribly that day he had decided to risk the bad weather to go to & dentist. "I had to drill pretty deep into the t tooth?it was a right lower molar. B Suddenly my patient started violent~ ly. 'By jiminy,' he cried, 'That nerve g must go clear to my eioow. it s maae y my rheumatism worse.' "I thought at the'time it was merel ly a sensitized nerve* but, strange to! P say, after the tooth had been cleaned | out and made well, my patient's rheu- i 3 matism disappeared entirely and hej a has never had it since. He'd never g had it before that one attack, either. ? t "Sometimes teeth that only need ^ cleaning give one a touch of rheuma- j tism. You may feel it in the shoulder or the knee, or even in just a I finger or a toe, when the truth is they .j ought to have their teeth cleaned. "Neglected or diseased tonsils are 1 a great source of rheumatism. I had t;?a patient?a young woman, from the s | South?who had been afflicted for j years with the worst kind of rheuma1 tism. She could scarcely walk, it j was almost impossible for her to f bend her knees. She came up here ? for a visit and her friends induced s her to consult a specialist. :j "He told her the first step was to have her teeth and tonsils looked af3! ter. She came to me for her teeth g and I found them in splendid condi- . i , tion. Nothing wrong there. Then | pi she went to a throat specialist and * _ | he found heri tonsils in dreadful con- j _ 1 dition. Well, the long and short of i 1 the matter is that when the throat specialist finished her case," which fi3 nally meant cutting out the diseased a tonsils, her rheumatism was cured, f ?/ * . i s and she hasn't had'any since. Her ? 1 friends tell me that she skips around I her home these days like a sixteen3 year-old." rj "Well, I declare," remarked the ' woman patient. "Here all my life I'd _! thought rheumatism was caused by _ dampness and ?cold and draughts and r such.'.'?Kansas City Star. *+??+? . ' I A NEW ONE IN TELEPHONES.
