DRY LAWS BE COM*: EFFECTIVE. I Twenty-seven States Made Liquor- j tight by Action of Congress. ?I Washington. June 30.?Twenty- j three States will be bone dry after! midnight tonight, the effective hourj of the Reed amendment prohibiting i shipment of lienor into any territory! where its manufacture or sale is prohibited. Eleven other States are partially affected by the legislation which has been hailed by temperance advocates as the greatest single step toward abolition of the liquor traffic yet taken in the nation's history. The law bars from prohibition ?v.iiC+ ofoe nr cmnllpr r>nr ell fc;a.S, V? HCL:iCi uiutvij \j*. . ~ - .. ^ porations, all mail matter containing advertisements or solicitations for orders for intoxicants, a provision dev signed to aid in enforcing the antishipment feature by suppressing the activities of mail order houses in dry territory. Justice and poctoffice department officials have made extensive preparations for enforcement of the statute. United States marshals and postal inspectors everywhere have been instructed to be on the lookout for violations. There are heavy penalties for violations, w Medicines in Doubt. Ethyl alcohol is regarded by the federal government as an intoxicating liquor within the meaning of the act, but methyl, wood and denatured alcohols are not so regarded. Xo ruling has been made regarding the status of patent medicines contain* ing alcohol and that question may be n among the first to be passed on by the courts under the legislation. The language of tfce anti-shipment section is very comprehensive, imposing a fine of $1,000 and imprisonment for six months, or both, on any * y .person who shall "order. purchasel or cause intoxicating liquors to be transported in interstate commerce except ^ for scientific, sacramental, medicinal or mechanical purposes into any State or territory the laws of which States or territory prohibit ^ie manufacture or sale therein of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes." ' The same penalties are prescribed ; ' fot violators of the anti-advertising section. For a second offense in either case, the penalty is made one year's imprisonment. , The l*ry States. The postoffice department, in promulgating its order for enforcement .> of the anti-advertising section, names the following States as wholly affeeed by the act: Alabama. Arizona. Arkansas, Colo rado, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, 'Rliode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and West Virginia. Those partially affected are California, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio and Texas. The following are affected at future dates: Alaska, ** January 1, 1918; Indiana, April 8, ' 1918; Michigan, April 30, 1918; Monw tana, December 31, 1918; Utah, August 1, 1917. The Southern States, dry heretofore by State legislation with the exception of Florida and Louisiana, now will be almost wholly so. Tennessee and Georgia* unwilling to depend on the prospect of federal legislation, . voted "bone dry" several months ago by State legislation. From Washington down the coast to Jacksonville will be included in the scope of the federal act. ? * _ OPERATOR BLAMED FOR WRECK. Trains Running at High Speed When Accident Occurred In X. O. Raleigh, N. C., June 30.?G. S. Ja cobs, twenty-year-oia seauuaru ah Line telegraph operator at Franklinton, N. C., was brought here tonight and placed in jail, charged with manslaughter in connection with the deaths of four trainmen in a headon collision -between two fast freight trains near Franklinton early today. He was brought here for safekeeping, after having been convicted in J ^ the mayor's court at Franklinton of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. ' Although no threats against Jacobs were made openly at Franklinton. feeling was said .to be high, and the authorities deemed it best to remove him to Raleigh. Armed to Cut Wire Nets. Base of the American Flotilla in British waters. June US.?The captain of a torpedoed merchantman has turned over to the naval authorities here a sketch of a new type of German submarine equipped with a wireA cutting device designed to release it from nets. The sketch shows sever-1 al strands or' stout steel hawse's | stretched from the how through th-j conning tower to the stern. Attached to these is a series of h^avy ci'. cular knives, a foot in diameter and placed about a yard apart. The captain made the drawing while in a small boat after his ship had been torpedoed. ""-A CALL FOR SKCOXD CAM I*. Another Contingent to Go to Oglethorpe.?Good >len Wanted. The second contingent of South Carolinians for Fort Oglethorpe is now being sought. The State's apportionment is 2.">6. The camp will open August 27. Governor Manning issued the following statement Saturday. in urging efficient young men to come forward to do their part: "South Carolina men who are qualified as leaders are wanted by the war department as candidates for cm missions in the officers' reserve corps. It is imperative that the right sort of men answer the call, so that the new American army, to see active service under the Stars and Stripes on the battlefield of Europe, will be efficiently officered. It is not enough that men who happen to graduate at military colleges and schools apply; men with capacity for leading men are wanted?and needed. This is the last chance that those not in military service will have of obtaining commissions. "South Carolina answered the call to the first Oglethorpe camp in a splendid manner. Some of the applicants were not able to attend the camp because South Carolina exceeded her quota. It is important, for the good name of the State, that South Carolina men do as well for the second Oglethorpe camp to open August 27. All applications must be submitted by July 15. Those desiring to serve their country as officers are urged to ask First Lieut. H. T. Pillans. Coast Artillery corps, U. S. A., the Citadel, Charleston, for the necessary application blanks which give the required instructions and information. "The war department announces that it is particularly anxious to have the applications from the men who are between the ages of 31 and 4 4. as commissions as high as lieutenant colonel will be issued. This does not mean that younger men are not wanted?they are?but that the army has particular need of mature men. Lieut. Pillans, the State examining officer, would be pleased to furnish all desired information on request, and those desiring to apply are urged to do so immediately, and thus prevent hurtful congestion at the last moment. "Accepted candidates for the.officers' reserve camp will be given their transportation to and from the camp; they will be given subsistence and uniforms; they will be paid $100 a month during the period of training. "Lieut. Pillans reports that the response in South Carolina has been slow. This is not as it should be. Time is short and men who wish irt secure commissions in the reser\ i corps are asked to communicate with Lieut. Pillans without delay. "The new American army must be efficiently officered. The whole country is vitally interested in this. South Carolina must not be excelled by any other State in furnishing good officers. The war department, for obvious reasons, desires to be in a position to select the best available men. and this selection is practicable only through the system of officers' training camps. "The press of South Carolina is requested to use this statement in its entirety and to give other helpful publicity to the matter of getting men to answer this call at once. Such publicity will be in the nature of patriotic service." Germans Driven to Holes. Dundee. June 30.?"We have driv en the great army of Germany under ground," said Premier Lloyd George in a speech today. "When a great army is driven to these tactics it is the beginning of the end; it means that we are pounding .a sense of inferiority into every pore of the German military mind. "It is good for the war. it is even .better after the war. As long as Prussians have an idea of superiority in their minds Europe will not be a decent place for people to live in peace. It. will be easier after this." The Prussians, said Mr. Lloyd George, have many virtues, but a sense of * humility has never been among them. The premier added that the Prussian is now being taught the virtue of humility with a fierce and relentless lash. Mr. Lloyd George said.that if necessary the government would - resort to the exchequer in order that the price of bread should be within the compass of the bulk of the people. Kncoiivaginis Him.

He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble',* so he got me 5 bottles... After about the second bottle I felt* greatly improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back tp me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides." You can feej safe in giving Cardui a thorough trial for your troubles. It contains no harmful or habit-forming flrugs, but is composed of mild, vegetable, medicinal ingredients with no bad after-effects. Thousands of women have voluntarily written, telling of the good Cardui has done them. It should help you, too. Try it E 74 [HE TEST OF MERIT \ Samberg People Are Given Convinc- . ing Proof.

Dickinson, jailor, Rice St., Bam- v berg, says: "I was subject to severe backaches and my kidneys did not ace regularly. The kidney secretions were unnatural and irregular in passage. I sued Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at the People's Drug Store, and they benefited me greatly. They regulated the action of my kidneys and removed the lameness and soreness in my back."
