American Training Camp in France.?The latest development of the camp is a postoffice which will enable men to mail letters either home or to any other point in the world, to keep in constant communication with friends without revealtheir exact whereabouts by the telltale cancellation mark on envoan/I t/? poimuf/i ?->> ? 11 oiHlfl)' through families or friends, who do not know what the destination ?-f their letters may be. The system will be enlarged to fit needs. At present it consists in requring of each soldier or officer that he address his communications of every nature from the American training camp and deposit them in special pcstoffice, form where they will be taken by pouch to Paris and mailed in the ordinary manner. Similarly, return mail should be addressed tt the training camp of the American Expeditionary forces, Paris, whence it will . be forwarded to the proper address. Redistribute Tobacco When the troops left their base they took with them surplus supplies which are being turned back to the ouurtermasterr'it rlonartmpnt quarters for redistribution, so that there will soon be more than enough oi' such thing-s as tobacco and similar little luxuries which have been somewhat scarce among some troops and sections. Each succeeding day brings a better degree o* arder and system out of the inevitable confusion attendant upon moving a large body of troops Officers who billited among the in habitants are still billeting at tlu moderate prices that prevail for th< majority. They may be required t pay one franc daily for quarters and. provided they eat at a "hotel," expond seven francs daily for excel'en-, food. Prices are thus k?pt low to pre vent a repetition of events early i the war when Allied troops in French territory, accustome! to th city prices, all but spoiled the Krone: population by paying what sccmet to them moderate, but really enoi r.ous rates for everything. o fwiilKeep YoiHWeiri RS ^ose ?r *,w?

HANDS, ARMS, LIMK ASLEEP And Was Ron-Down, Weak and Nervous, Says Florida Lady. Five Bottles of Cardoi Made Her Well. Kathleen, Fla.?Mrs. Dallas Prlne, of this place, says: "After the birth of my last child...I got very much run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. I was so awfully nervous that 1 I could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting ' worse all the time... I knew I must have some relief or I would soon be In the bed and In a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. -about my taking CarduL lie said, 'It's a good medicine, and immi for that trouble', ho he got me 5 bottles... After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved.. .before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disappeared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bottles, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children besides." You can feef safe in giving Cardu! a thorough trial for your troubles. It contains no harmful or habit-forming drugs, but is composed of mild, vegotablo, medicinal ingredients with no bad after-effects. Thousands of women have voluntarily written, telling of the good Cardui has done them. It should help you, too. Try it.

It is deplorable to note how susceptible many growers are to the bait that is hung for them by unscrupulous members of the trade. Farmers and growers complain of being impost eu upon and robbed and yet they are actually to blame for the e-xistence of certain evils in marketing. Instead of being loyal to their interests and giving it their wholehearted en- ^ ccuragement they continually listen ^ to bribes that are offered them by individuals who are trying to keep the I farmers disorganized. The State Market Agent was especially struck by an incident that took place in the asparagus districts. The more enterprising growers have i been organized into <2 splendid cooperative association and have adopted , the best method of marketing in existence, taking everything in consideration. This step among the grow- 1 er.-? has of course broken up the high way robbery that they were exposed to in past seasons. Never before havo the growers been so successful a? now, after having organized and adopted a modern system of market- fM ing. j Certain interests in the trade of course saw that their past lucrative I methods were almost eliminated so they decided to do everything to | break up the association. Their fa- j verite method of breaking up an as- I sociation is to get a weak-kneed individual and pad his sales, that is, give him a little more than the mar Kt-i price. This weak-kneed individu- I al goes about the members of the jli association and brags about how much he received from such and such a party. The parties who pail these i ? ~ saies nope to bring about dissatisfac- ^ tion among the members of the^association by the reports that f^tho | weak-kneed grower spreads. ' Growers should be very careful of i such bait. They should realize that an> one handling a bribe has an ulNOTICE OF FINAL DISCHARGE* Notice is herby given that the undersigned administratrix of the pre- t sonal estate of Robert Harley Ander- | son, deceased, will apply to the L Jvdge of Probate at his office at \ Conway, S.
