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

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

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.

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.
