Red Cross to Enter New Field.
1 ; At the suggestion of Secretary of
War Baker, the American Red Cross
if about to enter a new field j
of service in, the army camps
ir of the United States, a field in
'which they are already working in
France, the Bureau of Communication
between the men in the hospital and
their families at home. This will necessitate
building a Red Cross house
in every army camp in the country
and securing for each house a man
who will keep in personal touch with
every man who is admitted to the camp
hospital, as well as a sufficient stenographic
force to handle the letters dictated
by these men and to keep their
families constantly informed as to
their condition and progress.
Col. William Law son Peel, General
manager of the Southern division, has
just received letters from W. R. Castle,
Jr., director of the Bureau of Communications,
and from Harry B. Wal- j
lace, assistant director-general of military
relief, explaining Secretary Baker's
plan and asking for suggestions
as to men in this division who are
anAlifipri for the nositions of resDOn
sibility at the camps. Colonel Peel
announced Thursday at a meeting of
. his bureau directors that the Southern
division would co-operate in every way
with the national organization and
that work would be begun at once to
assist in carrying out Secretary Baker's
plans.
The directors of the work in the Red
Cross houses will be under the authority
of the Red Cross Field Direo?
tors in the various camps, who in
turn are under the supervision of Z.
? Bennett Phelps, director of military^
B relief for the Southern division.
H Secretary Baker says in his letter:
"Since the American Red Cross
has already established in France, in
accordance with an army order, a service
to keep families In America in
personal touch with their boys, ill
or wounded in the field, It is suggested
that this service be extended to
the camps in the United States. American
Red Cross representatives at the
camps, here, as in France, would have
access to daily lists of admissions and
evacuations from the hospitals, and,
so far as it is in accord with necessary
medical rules, would be allowed
to talk with sick men. They would
be expected to keep families constantly
informed as to the condition and
progress of the men in the hospitals,
to write letters for men unable to
write themselves, and in general to
fulfill that clause of the Red Cross
charter which designated the society
as "a medium of communication between
troops in the field and their
families at home."

Are you willing to help advertise!
Bamberg county to other sections of
the United States? Don't yen know i
that there are many excellent l'ea
tares about the industrial and agri- J
cultural and social life of the city j
and county that would attract other,
home-seekers? Don't you know that j
these home-seekers don't find these;
facts out unless somebody tells
them? To answer this purpose, to
fill that mission. The Bamberg Herald
is going to iscue a Prosperity
Proclamation edition some time in
the near future. It will describe our
situation and nossibilities: it will advertise
the inducements and benefits
held out for newcomers, and it will
rive publicity to this community as
it has never had before.
Every progressive citizen should
help this enterprise. The Prosperity
Proclamation edition is'not necessarily
going to be a very bulky newspa
per?it will have facts, business
write-ups, and what is better than
anything else, exquisite photographs
of local places of business, churches,
schools, farms, stock, and growing
fields, etc. Pictures show more about
a section than talk, and while words
can be put together in an effort to
"stall" others, actual photographs
show actual realities.
We want to get photographs of
some of the progressive farms in
this county, showing the high state
of culture and comfort which exists
in our rural sections. This edition
cannot be issued without a great expense.
The most novel manner in
which this edition will be distriDuiea
appeals to everyone. No display advertisements
are to he inserted in the
paper, but only write-ups of various
firms and people accompanied by photographs
of them or their places of
business. The patrons do not pay
for this pace, nor pictures or cuts,
but help bear the expense of the edi,tU-n
by buying variois copies of the
Prosperity Proclamation edition.
| These are sent out by The Bamberg
Herald to various persons, including
whatever addresses given by the purchaser
of the copies.
The Bamberg Herald has been
meeting with cheerful cooperation
and a number of progressive citizens
are already backing it by subscribing
for copies. We have special
men here working on this issue and
in a few days pictures will be taken
of every point of interest which will
I be printed in this paper. Bamberg
! has nevfer issued an illustrated writeup
of the county and this is going to
be a complete one. Call around to
The Herald office and talk it over
with us.

ASKS FOR UNLIMITED ARMY.

draft age at least, must work or fight
"This is not alone a war of military
maneu\c,r. It is a deadly contest
of industries and mechanics.
"It is enough to ask what would
happen if every man in the nationturned
his hand to effective work.
How is this to be done?
"The answer is plain. The first
step toward the solution of the difficulty
to prohibit engagement by ablebodied
men in the field or hurtful
employment, idleness or ineffectual
employment, and thus induce and
persuade the vast, wasted excess into
useful fields.
"One of the unanswerable criticisms
of the draft has been that it
takes men from the farms and from
all useful employments and marches
them past crowds of idlers and loafers
away from the army. The reme
dy is simple?to couple the industrial
basis with other grounds for
exemption and to require that any
man pleading exemption on any
grounds shall also show that he is
contributing effectively to the industrial
welfare of the nation. '
"The regulation itself makes plain
the determination of the War Department.
The great organization of local
and district boards which has already
accomplished a notable work,
may be relied upon to catch the spirit
of the movement and sorely needed
man power will soon be flowing into
the fields of useful endeavor or into
the other direction of military
strength."
Theatrical performers were excepted
from the regulation at the direction
of Secretary of War Baker, who
is said,to feel that the people cannot
do without all amusement in war
time and that the other amusements
could be dispensed with more readily.

GROCERS HELP
IN 5(HO PLAN
SIGN PLEDGE TO CARRY OUT
FOOD ADMINISTRATION
PROGRAM.
POST CARDS IN STORES.
Explain, New Wheat Ruling to
Thousands of Customers?Insures
Greater Food Saving.
Grocers of the nation have accepted
enthusiastically the 50-50 basis for the
purchase of wheat flour and are doing
their utmost to explain the new regulation
to the housewife. This ruling by
the U. S. Food Administration requires
each purchaser ef wheat flour to buy
one pound of cereal substitute, one
kind or assorted, for every pound of
wheat flour. It was necessary to restrict
the use of wheat flour in order
that the allies and our fighting forces
abroad might be assured of an adequate
supply of wheat to meet their
vital needs. This supply must come
from our savings because we have already
sent our normal surplus.
Wheat saving pledge cards were forwarded
by the Food Administration to
all retail food merchants, and these
are being signed and posted in stores
throughout the country. This card
states, "We pledge ourselves loyally to
carry out the Food Administration program.
In accordance with this order
we will not sell any wheat flour except
where the purchaser buys an equal
weight of one or more of the following,
a greater use of which in the home
will save wheat:
"Cornmeal, corn flour, edible corn
starch, hominy, corn grits, barley flour,
potato flour, sweet potato flour, soy
bean flour, feterita flour and meals,
rice, rice flour, oatmeal, rolled oats and
buckwheat flour."
Some confusion has resulted on the
part of the consumer In construing
this "50-50" ruling to mean that an
equal amount In value of substitutes
L _ M Mr) rrtX^V PrrV? /vn AaIIH
Q1USI UB puruiiiseu wiuj wueai m>ui.
This is a mistaken idea. The ruling
states that the consumer in purchasing
flour shall "buy at the same time an
equal weight of other cereals."
One exception to this ruling Is concerning
graham flour and whole wheat
flour, which may be sold at the ratio
of three pounds to Ave pounds of
wheat flour. This provision Is made
because approximately 25 per cent
more of the wheat berry is used in the
manufacture of these flours than standard
wheat flour.
Another exception is that concerning
mixed flours containing less than
50 per cent of wheat flour, which may
be sold without substitutes. Retailers,
however, are forbidden to sell mixed
flours containing more than 50 per
cent of wheat flour to any person unless
the amount of wteat flour substitutes
sold Is sufflcient to make the total
amount of substitutes, including
those mixed in flours, equal to the total
amount in wheat flour in the mixed
flour. For Instance, If any mixed flour
Is purchased containing 60 per cent
wheat flour and 40 per cent substitutes
it is necessary that an additional
20 per cent of substitutes be purchased.
This brings it to the basis of
one pound of substitutes for each
poutid of wheat flour.
A special exemption may be granted
upon application in the case of specially
prepared infants' and invalids' food
containing flour where the necessity is
shown.
Some misunderstanding seems to exist
on the part of.consumers in assuming
that with the purchase of wheat
flour one must confine the additional
50 per cent purchase to one of the
substitutes. Tbls is not tne case, uae
may select from the entire range of
substitutes a sufficient amount of each
to bring the total weight of all substitutes
equal to the weight of the wheat
flour purchased. For instance, if a
purchase of 24 pounds of wheat flour
is made a range of substitutes may be
selected as follows:
Corn meal. 8 pounds; corn grits, 4
pounds; rice, 4 pounds; buckwheat, 2
pounds; corn starch, 1 pound; hominy,
2 pounds; rolled oats, 3 pounds.
These substitutes may be used In
the following manner;
Cornmeal, 8 Pounds.?Corn bread, no
flour; corn muffins or sppon bread,
one-fourth flour or one-third rice or
one-third hominy; 20 per cent substitutes
in whole bread.
Corn Starch, 1 Pound.?Thickening
gravy, making custard, one-third substitute
in cake.
Corn Grits, 4 Pounds.?Fried like
mush, used with meal in making corn
bread.
Rolled Oats, 3 Pounds.?One-fourth
to OBe-third substitutes in bread, onehnif
snhsrttute in muffins; breakfast
porridge, use freely; oatmeal cookies,
oatmeal soap.
Buckwheat Flour, 2 Pounds.?Onefourth
substitute In bread, buckwheat
cakes.
Hominy, 2 Pounds.?Boiled for dinner,
baked for dinner, with cheese
sauce.
Rice, 4 Pounds.?One-fourth substitute
In wheat bread, one-third substitute
In corn bread, boiled for dinner (a
bread cut), as a breakfast food, to
thicken soups, rice pudding instead of
cake or pie, rice batter cakes.
Several grocers have stated that
their customers who strictly observe
the 11 wheatless meals each week find
It necessary to buy substitutes In addition
to those ordered under the 50

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mother's Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding BlackDraught
Relief From Headache,
Malaria, Chills, Etc.
Ringgold, Ga.? Mrs. Chas. Gaston,
of this place, writes: "I am a user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mother's home, when I
was a child. When any of us children
complained of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave us
a dose of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often In the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Black-Draught pretty regular
until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of BlackDraught
when not so well saves a
lot of days in bed."
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
in use for many years in the treatment
of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys Is proof of its merit
Tf mm* in not. doine its dutv.
I you will suffer from such disagreeable
symptoms as headache, biliousness,
constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thedford's.
