' . # HOW TO CONSTRUCT ICELESS COOLER Helps to Conserve Food in tho Country During the Summer. Washington.?Refrigerators can be nxttdt to do their part in conserving food this summer. Preserving milk, f* butter and other supplies and keeping . Jeft overs and unused portions until they are needed will be their service. * i If ice is not obtainable, an icelesa re frigerator, cooled by evaporation, can be easily constructed. Women demonstrators in PYtonsion vi-nrt Smith of the United States department of agriculture, tell how to make such a cooler at a small cost. T,his refrigerator consist of a wood <M\Wrame covered with canton flannel burlap or heavy duck. It is desirable that-, the frame be>, screened, ^ although this is not necessary. Wicks, ^ made of the same material as the covering, resting in a pan of water on top of the cooler, conduct the water over the sides and ends of the pan and allow it to seep down the sides of the box. The evaporation from this moistened covering causes a lower temperature inside. On dry, hot clan's a temperature of 50 degrees has boeAi known to be obtained in the cool er* This is the way to build it: Make a screened case three ami one-half feet high with the other dimensions 12 by 15 inches. If a solid j top is used, simply place the water pan on this. Otherwise fit the pan closely into the opening of the top frame and support it by one inch cleats fastened to the inside of the frame. Place two movable shelves in the frame, 12 to 15 inches apart. Use a biscuit pan 12 by 14 inches on the top to hold the water, and where tinrefrigerator is to be used indoors have the whole thing standing in :* large pan to catch any drip. The pans and case may be painted white, allowed to dry and then enameled. A covering of white canton flannel should be made t<> fit tho frame. Have the smooth side out and button the covering on the frame with buggy or automobile curtain hooks and eyes, arranged s0 that the door may be opened without unfastening these |f hooks. This can easily he done by putting one row of hooks on the edge of the door noar the latch and the 4 other just opposite the opening with . tl'.t hem on each side extended far enough t0 cover the crack at the edge o' the door, so as to keen out the warm, outside aid and retain the cool | . ed aJr. This dre.vs .or covering will y*' have to be hooked around the top edge also. Two double strips one-J half the width of each side should be sewed on the top of each side covering and allowed/to extend over abou*: two and one-half or three inches in ( the pan of water. The bottom of the covering should extend into the lower pan. Place the refrigerator in a shady place where air will circulate around it freelv. If buttons and buttonholes jft are used on the canton flannel instead of buggy hooks, the cost will be reduced. TRjf IT!

C.?"Dipping cows to kill fever ticks actually increases n.ilk yields," says the United States Department of Agriculture in a state event issued today. "This is proved in actual experiment and in results obtained in thousands of dairy herds the owners of which are thorough bilieveis in tick eradication by the dipping-vat mchtod. .Careful records prove that lightly infested cows pro <Iuce 18.6 per cent less milk than free cows, while cows heavily infeste<l produce on an average 42.4 per cent less milk than similar cows freed from ticks. This was establish ed by records of yields kept over con siderable periods for ticky herds before they were dipped and for the same herds after they were dipped. "A herd of twenty lightly ticked cows produced 29 quarts less milk per day, or a loss of 5,800 quarts in 200 days' milking, than 20 tick-free cows of the same kind. Twenty heavily ticked cows produced 67 quarts per day less, or a loss of 17,'i00 quarts in 200 days' milking, than 20 tick-free cows of a similar breed. The monetary gain from dipping o Jthe lightly infested herd would hav? been $280 a year; from the heavily ticked herd dipping would have given increased profits of $660 a year. nvrc is an uciuai record irom a Hairy herd: A dairyman in heavily infested territory dipped his cattie. One week after (pipping, his herd of 42 cows gave 10 gallons of milk a day more?an increase of 16.6 pel cent from the start. The milk sold for 3? cents a gallon, and he got $3.50 more per day from his herd from one dipping. He had begun to feed the cows instead of the tioks.? "Those who assert that dipping diminishes milk flow judge entirely from the milk production for 2 or 3 days immediately following the trip to the vat. It is natural that for 2 or 3 (fyiys after a milch animal has been >driven a few miles and gone through the excitement of dipping her milk flow will temporarily fall oft slightly. The actual figures show that for 2 or 3 days there may be a reduction of an average of 10.6 per cent or about 0.8 of a quart for an 8quart cow. In 3 to 5 days the temporary falling off disappears and if the dairyman would keep records over any long period he would fina that getting rid of ticks was increasing his acuta! milk production from 18 to 42 per cent. "That dipping cows to get rid of cattle ticks must increase milk flow can readily he reasoned out by-any one who will approach the subject with an open mind and not let his prejudices fight his pocketbook. Cows can make milk only from blood. It follows that the more blood ticks suck out from them tinless material the cows will have t > turn into milk. When it is realized that the ticks on a heavily infested animal consume as much as 200 pounnds of blood a year, it can be seen that a heavily infested cow will u se t>y tiio tick route a large ami important amount of milk-making material. When it is realized that the cow can make blood to supply her milk glands only from the feed she consumes, it can be seen that the tick by sucking blood is wasting a lot of good feed that ought to be going to increase milk production. "It is as unreasonable to estimate the effect of dipping on a cow's yield from the milk she gives for 2 days after she has been dipped as it would be for a purchaser of a cow to expect that cow to give her full milk record the first day after she had been driven to a new farm and plac3d in strange quarters. No sensible dairyman would send back a cow bocause she did not live up to the guaranteed record for a day or two after she had been shipped to his farm. All the Department asks of anyone is to use fair records. Experience I with millions of cattle dipped proves conclusively that dipping increases materially and in no way diminishes the year's milk yield, or injures the cattle." o To Cure a Cold In One Day Take I.AXATITTt wrtOMO Quinine.

Washington.?An air of elation pervaded administration circles over I the safe arrival of the first Ajrterican overseas expedition after a voyage in which submarine attacks were twice repelled with the loss of at least one of the underseas raiders. The forces landed intact at a French port without the loss of a man, ship or animal. The first encounter, on the night of June 22, was a complete victory for the convoying destroyers, whose accurate gunfire directed on the enemy craft as revealed by the moving rayS'of the searchlights speedily rout ed the attacking force. American gunnery told effectively in the secound skirmish a few day* later. A 'protecting screen of destroyers thrown around the trans purrs neni tne raniers at a safe (lis-1 tanee while the presence of oil and ! wreckage on the surface of the sea after the batt'e indicated tho destruction of one, and probably more, of the undrosea vessels. Both attacks were made far out on the Atlantic beyond the ordinary I rtmge of submarine activities. This is taken to indicate that the German admiralty had been furnished with information concerning the precis:i route to be taken by the American contingent. Every effort is being made to run down the spies who are belie veil to have furnished this information to the enemy. 1917 CHARLESTON 3 OLDEST COLLEGE ns September 2 8th county-seats Friday, July 13. at B.

SOUTH CAROLINA O ???J I , J I THIS PRACTICE IS WRONG IN SPIRIT New York, June 27.?Men of miiit.uy age are being discriminate! against by employers since the enact mont of the selective draft and it ;s becoming increasingly difficult for them to obtain employment. Help wanted advertisements in the great oaily papeis show this, the grniter majority calling for men "over 31" and otherwise indicating that preference will be given to the men not subject to the nation's call. The injustice and disloyalty of this was .1 ? ^ ' sium n oy ur. scttuyler IS. Wheeler, past president of the Amei ican Institute of Electrical Engineers, who is head of a firm employing several thousand workmen. j "Employers only willing to hire men over the military age," he said, "are disloyal, un-American and unfair. In addition, they are shortsighted, as only about one in twenty ot the ten million men registered will be called. Refusal to employ men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one penalizes the very class on which the future of the nation reper.ds. These men are the fathers of i the coming generation. I "Men should be given employment on the same basis as before the war. If a man is called from his work to | take aims to help 'make the world [safe for Democracy' the employer I should be proud that one of his men ! has gone to the front and should , wish him God-speed. The thought j that his work may have to he done h\ a new man should never occur? j there are millions who cannot go! I "If employers are not careful they1 j will make it a disgrace for a young man to brt called to the colors.

This evidence exposes insufficient nourishment, cruel punishment, brutal intimidation and hard conditions o* labor under which a great many succumb while a large proportion returned so reduced and weakened that they are incapable of physical effort. This is the regime of the camp of Slotau described by one of the men, who escaped. "In the morning, a third of a litre of a beverage resembling coffee, hut seeming to have been made of acorns; at noon, a half litre of soup generally made of hoots, but somotimos of potatoes; in the evening. fifth of a litre of porridge made of corn meal or barley; the ration of bread is about a half pound per day; it is made of a mixture of corn meal and rye. The interned men are m vor given meat, fish or cheese.

"Other principal measure.* resorted to to bring the deported men to submission were the supplies of ti e post; stoutly fettered to posts, the men are exposed to heat or cold, according to the season, for days togc.ther, during which the food rations are reduced systematically until they reach the proportions of a half ration only for two days' subsistence." o IN MEMORY.
