MEMORIAL CHAPEL FAVORED BY LEGION Columbia, S. C., October 28.? Following a somewhat extended debate, the initial- annual convention of the American Legion of South Carolina, which met here today, in the hall of the House of Representatives, by an almost unanimous vote rejected a resolution, introduced by J. Hertz Brown, a delegate from Spartanburg, providing for a memorial hospital, commemorative of those South Caro linians in the service 01 tne nauun who made the supreme sacrifice in the world war, instead of the memorial chapel provided for by an act of the General Assembly. Subsequently another resolution endorsing a non-ultilitarian buildinng or moument as a fitting memorial was adopted by the convention. The hospital resolution asked the General Assembly to make the necessary amendment in the existing law, / so that the utilitarian building- instead of the memorial chapel be built. The resolution said that the building, if the Geheral Assembly was favorably disposed toward the idea "shall be a great miemorial hospital where suffering may be relieved, disease eradicated and the citizens of this State made more fit for her service." Act of General Assembly. The-last session of the General Assembly pass- j ed the act providing for the erection ; of the memorial chapel on the ground owned by the University of South Carolina. The measure carried an appropriation of $100,000 with the stipulation that it was to be augmented by public subscription from among the citizens of the State. It is a created commission, of which Governor Cooper is chairman, and exGovernor Manning, vice-chairman, to carry on the campaign and provide for the memorial. The commission 1 decided that the people of the State Only a Cold. Are you ill? is often answered? I "Oh! it's only a cold," as if a cold was a matter of little consequence but people are beginning to learn that a common cold is a matter not to be trifled with, that some of the most serious diseases start with a cold.

Almost from the first meeting of the Commission, opposition to the idea of nonutilitarian building was expressed. A campaign bolstered by a deal of publicity, has been waged bringing to the fore the hospital idea, the underlying plea being that the exsoldiers wanted something which would be of service instead of ornamental, by which their fallen comrades would be remembered. A petition was presented to the memorial commission asking for consideration of the hospital idea, but the Commission took the position that the Legislature had spoken and it was manda Tory upon it under the act to go on with the original project for a memorial chapel. So the solicitation for funds was commenced on September 29th. Indifference explained. The campaign for subscriptions has niet with indifferent success since the "drive" began, thought principally to be due to the propaganda in favor of the hospital project. However, the friends of the present memorial chapel idea are now confident that the solicitation for funds will take on an impetus as the voice of the South Carolina world war veterans, the American Legion, they contend, has spoken for it and' has demonstrated what the wishes of the ex-soldiers are. The resolution aaoptea Dy me convention reads: "Whereas, the Legislature of South Carolina, in its wisdom and after mature deliberation appropriated the sum of $100,000 and created a commission for the purpose of erecting a suitable memorial building to our comrades who fell in the recent great war; and, "Whereas, there has been since that time considerable agitation designed to change the form of memorial from that design contemplated by the Legislature to a hospital; and, ."Whereas, we believe that a memorial building or some suitable monument is a more fitting type of memorial than a hospital, and that all agitation at this time as to a change served only to create uncertainty and to hamper the raising of the fund; now, therefore, be it "Resolved, by the American Legion of South Carolina, representing the white soldiers of South Carolina and speaking for our fallen comrades that it is the sense of this convention that the most fitting memorial-would be not a hospital but some building or - jj - ' /' ' H g flj nm of Prove d in outward appea: in the light-weight, istration, the superi point. y angle, the Allen 4 )dy, finished in a ri< tor to extreme rea? rade throughout. of the specifications ison with other cars 1 buver that the All 1/ Lexir )RLEY, President [ monument which would be primarily a memorial and wouid express in itself the ideals of liberty and justice for which our comrades foug-ht and which might be a repository of the records of the South Carolina soldiers."?The Charleston News and Courier. I PERMANEAT iv is nut, SUGGESTION OF GEN. PERSUING Washington, Nov. 1.?A* volunteer force of officers and men who served in the great war, so organized to preserve war-time designations of units, was proposed to the military committee of congress today by General Pershing as the bas;s of -i per* manent reserve to be maintained m future by iznivcis&J service. Until universal training got under way, he told the committee, divisions and smaller units now disbanded could be brought back into existence on paper, with enough volunteers from their former personnel to make up the skeleton of a huge reserve system. Later, he continued, men emerging from universal training camps could be assigned to these reserve units in their home localities. He suggested that the men thus assigned be assembled for drill or maneuvers "once or twice during the period they are held for possible service, ' after training, though they could not be actually called into active service except in time of war. The general said the problem of fitting in this plan with any continuance of the national guard as such, was a difficult ope. He suggested that the governors of states might be given authority to call the reserves into service in local emergencies, but preferred that their training and organization be distinctj ly federal. General Pershing also declared his preference for army promotions by selection rather than senority and recommended a single list for proWlicn A Cliild Has Croup.

Mr. Dodson Warns Users of Calomel; I Says Drug Acts Like Dynamite j on Liver and You Lose a Day's Work. There's no reason why a person should take sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone? a perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid which will start your liver just as surely as calomel, but it doesn't fnake you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more biliousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone acts better than horrible calomel vour monev is wait ing for you. ifc, ?r.Ti-c .'?KSJft*c. f 1 -r > I J ^ ENGINE H Allen, V ^^ "head. j bore b ' Mr ing cr; I^V ??nSTARTIM Auto-I trie cc IGNITION Conne ? matic spark CARBURI Strom # j tion, s i|*|t\T tro101 * * w J COOLING Thern type r LUBRICA' touring car Press pump i# shaft. _ CLUTCH lien can be i dry di TRAXSMI Allen All se in design, ies a bevel equipment STF Z I ed by opera bearir ? . i -i with in this ad.; nmvE ? ?n Full i ion will con- peller ball b Auto TON, S.
