tS3je Bamberg i>eralb KSTABL1SHK1) APRIL. 189t. Thursday, Nov. 29,1917. Although the country is embroiled ifi the greatest war of all history, still i we all have much for which to be! thankful this year, and the season should be one of sincere thanksgiving. Now that Bamberg has secured a motor fire truck, we hope that the fire department?if we have one? ?^ If i Tl oro 1Q 71 A I W HI UtJ ICUlgaUKiCU. u IUV4 v ?W . regular fire team, one should be organized at once to respond to the call when the alarm of fire is sounded. Also, some sort of fire alarm should be provided. We believe it was the intention, of council at one time to install a siren at the .power house, which would answer very well at night, but would be useless in the day-time.* With some sort of reliable alarm and a regular organized fire team, the motor truck can be made to pay for itself the next time there is a fire. $ * * * * * \ If there is a law in South Carolina whereby a prohibitive license can be invoked against those monster fakes, carnivals, it is a mystery why it is not enforced. On several occasions carnivals have been prevented from showing in Bamberg because of some law requiring a license fee of $100 a day. Since then we believe one carnival was allowed to show, out now we understand that the city authorities will not allow them to come into town?and we hope they will never allow such aggregations to disgrace the town again. It is certainly nothing to the credit of any city to allow these gamblers and cut throats and moral degenerates to ply their trade within its borders. And if there is no State law requiring a prohibitive license, we commepd the matter to the attention of our delegation to give decent people relief from such exhibitions. The best news the people have read from the front in a long time was that of the British victory last week. And t*a? rieht on toD of that came the good news of an American destroyer capturing a German u-boat. Some war experts say that the British tank ictory?for it was really the tanks which turned the trick?wus the greatest victory of the war so far, and probably the turning point of the struggle. While it would not be wise yet to indulge in too much opi-r timism, it really appears that America is playig the stellar role in the war?for American destroyers in the war zone have accomplished wonders in freeing the seas of the submarine menace, thus putting heart in the fighting forces in the trenches, and making it possible to get plenty of supplies to them. It is a notable fact that since American patrols en v tered the submarine zone, the number of vessels sunk have been growing gradually smaller, while the number of submarines sunk have been growing larger. K' A Common Cold. "Only a cold. Nothing serious in > the least." How often does one hear that sort of remark. And yet, as any'physician will testify, the common cold is one of the greatest enemies of mankind. Your friend Jones is very deaf. It is a bore to try to talk to him. What made him deaf? Colds. Nearly all cases of deafness are due solely to "t that cause. Old people are more apt to be deaf than young folks because they have lived longer and have had . more time to suffer from colds. The common cold is very dangerous. Smith, an acquaintance of yours, died week before last. What carried him off? Pneumonia, Ah, yes. But it f was a cold that did the mischief. The ?erms invaded his lungs, and now he is in the graveyard. Heart disorders, kidney troubles and rheumatism are liable to be engendered by colds. Remember the case of your friend Brown? He died of an infection of the frontal sinus? the cavity behind the brows. A cold started it. Common colds (says the Public Health Service) are very contagious. Everybody has noticed how they will run through a family. They sweep through a city, through a whole state, attacking nearly everybody and carrying off the aged, the very young, the weak and the debilitated. Not until very recently has it been realized that colds are invariably caused by germs. The latter are so tiny that a million of them would rest on the head of a pin. Their favorite 1 o y/v rlllct V 11 11 VPT1 11 uretruiiig u i c uuoi.-i -.?? ? lated rooms. Fresh air is their worst y enemy. The best way to avoid colds is to keep the body in "fit" (meaning disease-resistant conditions:) to keep s away from dusty, i"l-venti!ated places, and to avoid chilling of the body bv | cold or wet. Such chilbna lescens the resisting power oi" the body, and so; may conduie to colds. But, barring) this point, the open window is the best of preventatives. LUTHER'S SIMPLICITY. Great Reformer Preached in Direct, Appealing way. There are many excellent' lessons to be learned from the experiences of Luther, as he has related them: not a few of which might be utilized with practical advantages by our pastors today. Here is one particular passage which many ministers would do well to keep in view: "When 1 preach here," he wrote. "I sink myself deeply down. I regard neither 'doctors' nor 'magistros,' of which are here in the church about 40; but I have an eye to the multitude of young people, children and servants, of which are more than 2,000. I preach to these and direct myself to 1 . 1. - A 1 I + V. Will nnt iiem xxiat nave neeu lucicwi. *? m the rest hear me? The door standeth open to them: they may be gone. I see that the ambition of preachers they will please the worldly wise, and in the meantime neglect the simple and common multitude." A plain, simple gospel message, given in language readily understood by hose for whom it was intended?such was the rule of the great Reformer, who repressed all temptations to vain intellectual display, and made himself as nothing, that Jesus Christ might be exalted. With intellectual and oraorical ability to "standUWore kings," yet he could "sink himself" in giving the message to the lowly ones, even to the children. Surely one of the greatest gifts a minister can desire is that of plain, earnest speech, forgetful of self and caring nothing for the praise of the worldly-wise, but striving eagerly to reach the hearts of those who in all ages have been most willing to give heed?the common people.?Christian Herald. Twenty Years Ago. Ladies wore bustles. Operations were rare. Nobody swatted the fly. Nobody had seen a silo. Nobody had appendicitis. Nobody wore white shoes. Nobody sprayed orchards. Cream was five cents a pint. Most young men had "liberty bills." Canteloupes were muskmelons. ] You never heard of a "tin Lizzie.," Doctors wanted to see your tongue. Milk shake was a favorite drink. Advertisers did not tell the truth. Nobody cared for the price of gasoline. Farmers came to town for their mail. The hired girl drew one-fifty a week. The butcher "threw in" a chunk of liver. Folks said pneumatic tires were a joke. Nobody "listened in" on a telephone. There were no sane Fourths nor electric meters. Strawstacks were burned instead of baled. Publishing a country newspaper was not a business. People thought English sparrows were "birds." Jules Verne was the only convert to the submarine. You stuck tubes in your ears to hear a phonograph and it cost a dime. CALM NERVES AND WHAT THEY MEAN TO A WOMAN TO-DAY Increasing; Nervous Disorders I>rive Women's Complicated Organsm Into Other Serious Disorders. "A woman who keeps her home sweet and restful often does so at a cost to herself in nervous disorders which the outside world little knows of." "And many times nervousness leads to other disorders, in my case," writes Mrs. Charles W. Tice of 130G Talbot Ave., Columbus. Ga. "I think it brought on my severe case of indigestion and it kept me ailing and irritable all the time when I wanted to be cheerful and a comfort to my home." "I tried many remedies without any permanent result before I finally got hold of Surferro-Sol but this blessed natural remedy went right to the spot and after using it a short time I found I could sleep nights, something I had not known in a long time." "And better still 'my vanished appetite come back and I could eat and enjoy it Xow I am well again, eating and sleeping just as I used to and 1 owe it all to Surferro-Sol." "I can recommend Sulferro-Sol to every woman because 1 know that it lie a Is and builds as nothing else does." Ask your regular druggist about Snlt'erro-Sol, lie knows its dependi able worth. ; Sul;erro-Sol is sold and recomI trended by ali druggists in Bamberg 1 and vicinity. lUurray Drug Co.: j wholesale distributers.?adv.
