tax OUR FOOD PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE WAR I Handled by Department of Ag- j riculture in Four Page Leaflet CANNOT FURNISH EXCEPT T^LEADERS But the Press Will Publish Some Information From Time to Time. Uncle Sam's food advice to his people at war, condensed in four-page "United States Food Leaflets," and aimed to stimulate food saving withclicrTif iitn- luvli' 11/ioiIl' n rn tw\tt \'U V PI Ij^llUII^ UVVI ^ II VV?IOy Ml v IH' \1 ready. Prepared by the United Suites Department of Agriculture and the Food Administration and with i the aid of State representatives, the leaflets carry the country's expert 1 thought on food conservation and utilization translated into popular language. For the mother who may bc confused with much advice about her war-obligation, as well as for the food conseivation worker, the me,ssage of the leaflets should be most helpful. Beginning with the day's first meal the experts take up the daily food problems of the average home. "Start the Day Right with a Good Breakfast" is Food Leaflet No. L Then follow others now ready: "D?> You Know Com Meal?" "A Whole Dinner in One Dish," "Choose Food Wisely," "Make a Little Meat Go a Kong Way." "Do You Know Oatmeal ?" "Food for Your Children." ftiore will follow. In four-page nutshells and in big, readable type, the problem of foods and diets are presented in a way which should make them "strike h<#me" every homo in America. War j 1..i/ ....... uu.*vs lor un: iiuui aim iin; iuiur*., vuit: | fully selected, not only with regard to "calories" and "protein" scientific measuring rods but also with delicate respect for young, middleaged, and grown-up appetites, are presented by means of menus, red-} pes, and hints- many of them new j and all of them simple and practic- : able. A Dinner in One Dish. Confident that "A Whole Dinner in One Dish," presented in Food Leaflet No. o, will make good its name, the Government's food specialists guarantee that: "Youngsters will like it." "Father will like it." "You will lik(. it." "Your pockctbook will surely like it." "Your hu<]w>v /?ii n't hnlrt litrinir it " "Uncle Sam is Vund to like it." Here is another brief lesson in food economy taught in one pointed ' paragraph: "Use cereals- corn-meal mush, oatmeal, rice, hominy grits, i These are much cheaper than some I 'ready-to-oat' breakfast foods. J 'Ready-to-eat' breakfast food may cost 15 cents for a big package, but if the package contains only on luarter of a pound 00 cents a pound for cereal. This is X or 10 times as expensive as corn meal at r or 7 cents a pound. Look for the weights printed on the package and get th0 most for your 'money." Diet for Little Children. Diets for the chiMren, one leaflet says in big type, should not be. skimpy, but a wise selection will enable food saving even in their meals. Ami, then, after enumerating model breakfasts, dinners, and suppers, lh'? experts make a bid for the ehild v<>ce wiin inese suggestions: "Sweets arc good Cor them?the right ones at the right time. Dates, raisins, stewed, simple puddings, and sugar cookies are bettor than candy, (Jive them at meal time. Between meals let them have bread and butter, a cracker, or fruit. They won't spoil the appetite, and candy be tween meals will." A New Method of Distribution. The United States food leaflet: are intended to supplement rathei than replace the Department's pub lications on food and other honv problems. With the funds at its dis posal the Department of Agriculture will be able to supply these leaflet directly only to leaders and activ workers in the food conscrvatioi movements. Efforts are to be mad* to induce the press to republish thi material widely and thus make i directly accessible to millions o readers. The department also wil endeavor to interest women's club* churches, civic and other organize UGH! CALOMEL MAKES ! YOU DEATHLY SICK Stop using* dangerous drug before it salivates you! It's horrible! You're bilious, sluggish, constipated and believe you need vile, dangerous calomel to start your liver and clean your bowels. Here's my guarantee. Ask your4' druggist for a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone and take a spoonful tonight. If it doesn't start your liver am! straighten you right up better than calomel and without griping' or making you sick I want you to go back to the store and get your money. Take calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak and sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of harmless, vegetable Dodson's Liver Tone tonight and wake up feeling great. It's perfectly harmless, so give it to your children any time. It can't salivate, so let them eat anyhting afterwards.?adv SUBMARINES FAR AHEAD IN RACE Washington.?Ship tonnage sunk by submarines in 1917 was nearly thi^ee times tfs great as the total o production in the United States and Great Britain during the year. This wa s disclosed by t,hc announce I ment of Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, in the British House of Commons, that Great B it ain produced only 1,163,474 tons of shipping last year. The output ui the United States was 901,223 tons, a total combined tonnage of 2,064,679 while sinkings by submarines last year generally are reckoned a' 6,000,000 tons. While complete figures on construction in Japan, Italy, France an 1 other nations in 1917 arc not yet available, officials here do not behove their aggregate equalled that of the United States. If that is th case, submarine sinkings more tha\ doubled all new tonnage produced. Both American and British officials expect a very different story in 1918, however. The United State and Great Britain are speeding u > their building programs and nav. 1 officials of both countries have confidently predicted that the submarine will be curbed this summer. Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, former chif of the British naval staff, recentiy piedictcd that next August it eouV. be said that the "submarine menace is killed." However, he predicted dark months before that time. The output of ship tonnage in th 4 United States in 1918 has been variously estimated at from 2,500,000 i > 4,000,000 tons. No estimate of Great Britain's output has been received.

Final adjournment of 1 the General Assembly was taken at 12:13 o'clock. Little business re ' mnined to engage the attention of j! the two houses throughout the even- !1 ing, but to await the engrossing o\' the county supply bid and to ratify a 1 number of other measures. Just when the ctiy clock was strik- ; ing the midnight hour, committees were appointed from the two houses J to notify the Governor that the desks were clear of the work of the session and asked to receive any communications The session began January 11, thus terminating before the full 40-day period had elapsed. The session jusi closed was characterized by other features than brevity, one of these being- the complete absence of fractional politics. Fewer legislatures,! more democratic in character and temperafnent, have ever been as-' semblcd in the State. Early in the evening: scsson, Gov-1 ernor .Manning; signed many of the ! important bills, among the first of. thes0 being that creating an institu- 1 lion for the feeble-minded, the -S ate industrial school for girls and-the federal prohibition amendment. The general appropriation bill was signed at 9?45 o'clock. The Governor's signature had been-affixed to about 125 hills of the session up to midnight lust night. In advising the two houses that the appropriation bill had been signed, th-i chief executive sent the I fol 1 o\vi ng message: "I respectfully inform your honor- j able body that I have signed the ap-, popriation bill and the school and county supply bill and have no fui ther communication or message. "With this session coming to a cicse, permit me to say that you hav?i passed many of the measures which are particularly important in this national emergency. I regret veiy much the failure of your honorable body to give your official sanction i? certain measures, but I believe thai your favorable action will come a' a subsequent session. "In bidding you good-bye, I extend my best wishes for your future welfare and feel certain that you w;l! carry deep in your hearts the messages that have come from the President of the United States ami others in authority. I urge you, now that you are returning to your p ople, to see that the people of South Carolina are prepared and wHl make every sacrifice necessary to the presevation of our national and State institutions, our liberties and the j maintenance of right and justice of ( mankind, which arc now threaten d by the grasping- clutch of the German military autocracy. "May God's blessing rest upon you and yours." Several brief" speeches were made at the closing hours of the session last night in tribute to Harry It. Hughs, of Oconee, who lias volunteered his services and has been accepted in tho aviation signal corps. Since j the opening of the General Assembly I ho went to Atlanta and upon examination qualified for this exact 'n*;branch oli the war service.

PRSGEiioifoF NOT TO BE FIXES Washington.?It became practic Ih certain hero today that there wi)l be no price fixing of cotton prices by congress now. Today Senator E. D. Smith of Smith Carolina was asked about the matter and said he wa.;. positive that no action of this kind would be taken for some time. There has been great interest in this matter all over the South and tlie assurance that come? from Senator Smith should be good news to those who hav(. feared that cotton prices might suffer because of war conditions. "I am satisfied that the senate com niittee on agriculture will not agree ( to the fixing of a price on cotton 01 any other farm product unless there is a general fixing of prices on all and this is most unlikely," said Sen, atoT Smith. Senator Smith is a meir , her of this committee. I o , For Indlgoatlon, Constipation 01 Biliousness Just try one 50-cent bottle of LAX-FOS WITH PEPSIN. A Liquid Digestive j Laxative pleasant to take.

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING ' TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER For a good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a 1 series of experiments having as their 1 object the improvement of smoking 1 tobaccos* | < And it is interesting to know that one 1 of the greatest of their discoveries was one ' of the simplest and that was, that cooking 1 or toasting tobacco improved it in every 1 way, just as cooking most foods improves : them. * They took a real Burley tobacco, grown J in this country; toasted it as you would 5 toast bread; moistened it to replace the natural moisture driven off by toasting; ; made it into cigarettes, called them *LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette," 1 and offered them to the public. The result has been the greatest demand ever created "for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves meat, for example, FLOUR SUPPLY CENSUS ORDERED BY ELLIOTT The following statement relative to the proposed census of the flour supply in the- State was issued last ni<rht hv Will htm T?'Hi fit t Sstfitr. I Administrator: Washington has authorized flour census on basis agreed upon at administrators' meeting", as follows: , All persons are invited to report to county food administrator amount of Hour they have on hand in excess of SO days' supply. It should be mack entirely clear that they should keep flour, unless some disposition of it is ordered by food adnunistintion, and that it is a census and not a plan of confiscation. Also make clear that v. lien these written reports arc filed the person accurately making them will be relieved from charge of hoard ing or other unpatriotic act; this will make plan popular. Certificate should be very simple. 1 suggest tin following: "I have on hand blank pounds of flour in excess of 110 days' supply." Suggest tluit this censie may result in great saving of trans portation, since shortages can b? thus equalized I will be glad to have suggestions, in order that I may pass them on to others to make plan a success. o COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.

The purpose of these meeting's will be to give a thorough knowledge fo jthe war situation, to present the program of the Food Administration, Farm Demon- , stration Bureau, and the Council of Defense, and to set forth plans for the combined spring campaign which will be launched shortly after these meetings. We expect to present several speakers of National prominence and ran nromisc that thrwe who attend will receive inspiration and valuable information. The following a,'c requested and expected to attend at Greenwood or at Sumter, whichever is most convenient. All county food administrators, and all other food administration representatives; all farm and homo demonstration agents; all members of the State council of defense, all chairman of the county councilof defense, the chairmen of the township oY school district councils* aiv' all members of the woman's council of defense. We also request tlie presence of the- s pen hers selected by the State Council of - Defense who will carry the burden of-the*speaking* campaign, and other patriotic citfs.cns who wish to prepare themselves for volunteer service in the approaching campaign. Each farm demonstration agent is asked to select two or three prominent farmers from his county who will attend one of these meetings and actively cooperate in the campaign. Recent war developments, and especially the foodstuffs situation, make it absolutely necessary for every citizen of South Carolina, to bo informed of the very serious trend of affairs, and of the obligation that vests nnon us for jl much creator production and morc perfect const'vvation of food supplies, as well as of a more vigorous and whole-hearted support of the government in everv other way. We earnestly hope that a full attendance may be had at both the Greenwood and the Sumter meetings, in order that the forces who must carry the brunt of the approaching campaigns may be thoroughly inform ed of the. situation, and properly instructed as to the concrete program which will be presented at these meetings. ?William Elliott, Food Administrator for S.
