to ______ DESTROY TOBACCO AFTER MANUFACTURE ' ; i * < I. . - - ' V ?? " ' s Bores Into Cigar and Cigarettes Causing. Great Loss. J The destruction wrought by the tobacco beetle has become so pronounced in this country tliat the United States Department of Agriculture has issued a bulletin on the subject for manufacturers and dealers in tobacco products. While tobacco is known as an insecticide or as a repellent for some insects, it has no terrors for this beetle, which prefers the expensive, sweet, mild tobacco, especially the best Turkish leaf. A very few of them, in factory or show room, may start an immense amount of damage. The beetle is a small brownish insect only one-tenth of an inch long. Most o'f the damage is done by the young, or larvae, a yellowish-white grub somewhat larger than the adult. While it is impossible to estimate tlv total losses in a year, the figures for the industry as a whole are said to d very large. Single firms report losse.as high as ^25,000 a year. T'rtn linvvnwt nf llin In: i filled with dust and increment, may extend in any direction, and may g< tlirough the wrapper of cigar or cigarette at any point. Injured cigars do not draw well, and burn unevenly'; moreover dust and trash is likely to be drawn into the mouth of tin smoker. Leaf tobacco in storage, and chewing tobacco also, may bo badly worm eaten and made unsalable. Beetles Come from Tropics. Although the beetle is now found in all parts o'f the temperate zone, its spread is from warm tobacco-growing countries such as Cuba and the Phillipines, where it breeds throughout the year. From these countries the insects are sent out constantly in shipments of cigars or leaf tobacco, either in the egg, larval, or pupal stages, or as adult beetles. The insect lives in the tobacco during its whole life, and thrives best with considerable warmth and moisture. In the Southern States there are three or four generations in st year. It does not live on growing j tobacco and is not introduced from the fields. How to Control the Beetle. Although a number of insects prey en the beetle, methods of artificial prevention and control are necessary. Prevention is important and all places o'f manufacture and storage should be thoroughly screened ami all refuse material, damaged stock, etc., promptly destroyed. The protection of the finished product is particularly important, since with most classes of manufactured tobacco the process of manufacture freeit from all stage of the beetle present in the raw material, including even the eggs, which are only loosely attached to the tobacco leaves. Cold storage affords a good method of control, temperatures between freezing and 05 degrees F. being effective as long as the tobacco is in storage, but the activity of tinbeetle is resumed after such storage. J ower temperatures, such as 12 do-j grees F., for from one to four weeks; kill all stages. Care must be used to bring the cigars out on dry days. This prevents sweating and consequent discoloration or warping of the containers. Winter freezing kills, and sudden and extreme changes o'f torn-! perature are particularly effective.! High temperatures, around 140 do-' grces F., will serve as wcli as freez ; ing. Fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid gas is sure when carried out properly, but the process of generating tlv* gas must be understood thoroughly and the greatest precautions taken, as it is a deadly poison. Carbon bisulphid is less effective but move easily used and less dangerous to the operator. When mixed with air its vapor is explosive in about the same degree as gasoline, however, and it nr.ust therefore be handled with care, and should not be breathed unnoces& o 1*1 1 If T ? * (.'? ?

FEBRUARY CRITICAL MONTH An Opportunity For South Carolina Mon, Woman and Chlldron to Da- I monatrato Their Patrlotiam. Charleston, S. C.?February is e*? ported to prove one of the most critical months of the war, and whether the war is to be prolonged or shortened will be decided to a great extent by what the millions of Americans at home do toward backing the army. This is the judgment of prominent government officials who visited Char- i leston in the middle of the month. j One of the most significant uttev- | ?nces made during the entire war was , made by a prominent German official when America cast her lot with the ( Allies: I ^ "We do not fear the American sol- ^ diers. because they cannot arrive in ( time; what we fear is the intelligence and devotion of one hundred million ; . Americans trained to a faith in indivi- ; t dual initiative. The day that those { hundred millions act as one, that day N Is Germany's doom!" ] Hastening the Doom. j To enable Tlie hundreds of millions r of Americans to act as one is one of j the maiji objects of the war savings 1 plan which the government is institutJng as a mighty weapon against Ger- j many. That is the underlying object ^ of the drive for war savings societies which is being pushed during this ' month, and through which millions of J ^ Americans are expected to pledge I ^ themselves to stand pack of the army i ^ and navy by avoiding needless expen- j ditures and thereby release the goods ! ^ and services which are needed to equip the army and navy properly and | j efficiently. K. Goodwyn Rliett. state j director for war savings, has issued s the following statement: "Joint the company of savers! Let a company of savers back every com- j pany of soldiers. The war savings committee or your county is carrying ^ on a campaign this month for the formation of war savings scadeties. War 1 Savings Societies make it easy for you ? to join with others in saving a portion of your earnings as they come in and " Invest them in War Savings Stamps, i ! Every loyal man, woman, and child in J 1 South Carolina should Join a War Slav- 1 lngs Society, not next week, but NOW. ( Let us respond patriotically to the j ' government's call. Let us act as one. I 5 and bring nearer Germany's day of ! doom." * W. S. S. \ PATRIOTIC GIFTS VOGUE 1 I! A Present That Lasts Five Years and Helps Win the War. Washington. D. C.?Reports received j 1 at the treasury department show that : ' In all parts of Amrica a new plan for ' giving presents is being (irmly estab- j ( lished. The "Patriotic Present" is the j * idea, and consists of War Savings j Stamps to the value of whatever gift , ' would ordinarily have been given. j Parents, to encourage thrift as well 1 1 as patriotism, have adopted the plan I 1 of giving War Savings Stamps and j 1 nirm stamps to their children In- I ' stead of the usual presents such as for ' birthdays, surprises, rewards, etc. ' Employers who have been accustomed to presenting bonuses to employees are instead giving such bonuses in the ' shape of War Savings Stamps. The | ' "Patriotic Present" now appear? to j f have become a nationwide custom. j W. S. S. j , LIFT YOUR CORNS M OFF WITH FINGERS;!

HOW TO CONSTRUCT ONE i ' Plant* Should First Be Started In Hotbed Then Transplanted to the Cold Frame. For forcing early vegetables such as :oniatoes, egg plants, peppers, etc., the lot bed is indispensable. To construct i hotbed an eastern or southern exposure should be selected. The !rame should be G feet wide and any lesired length. As a rule for the fam ly garden, a hotbed G by G feet will 1 p M II ft' i, i i > 11 t fni' i-onrincr ..ill vnim r ^ V .vavnv 1VI I \.??I 1115 M*? J UWU5 ilants for the garden. It would be mu h better, however, to have a frame > by 12 feet. This will afford ample >pnco for transplanting the plants and jive them more room in order that! hey may properly develop. The soil s exc avated to a d( pth of 18 inches tnd the frame built G feet wide and he desired length and fitted over, the rem ii. The frame should slope lovards th.e east in order to admit sun- | ight. The bottom of the frame i? illod with fermenting stable manure. Nils should he mixed thoroughly heore being placed in the frame and lacked firmly and watered freely imnediately afterwards. In the south 2 inches of manure will furnish suficicnt heat for hotbeds; while in the lorth, where the weather is more serere, two feet of manure is usually j tsed. On top of the manure is placed bx inches of garden soil which has >een well sifted and is free from ail oots and trash. This should be I dightly packed in order to make it j lerfeetlv level. The sash of the I Tame are always three feet wide and tlx feet long. The frame, therefore, ihould either lie constructed fhiec, lix, nine, or 12 feet wide. After the jarden soil has been placed in the Tame, it is well to cover this with one II / V> i\t Hnal V offtrt.l J - "I1" vH ui initio amni nuuus truilll. Woods earth is used because it is llwavs free from grass and wee 1 leeds which are frequently very troujlesonie when the garden soil is used. Vfter the bed has been completed the iash are put in place and the frame Glowed to stand for 3 or 4 days befor-) planting the seed. This is done in trder to allow the bed to become thoroughly warm before planting. The ieeds may then be planted, watered (lightly, and the sash replaced. As toon as the plants come up the bed should be ventilated if the weather conditions are favorable. Even when he temperature Is near freezing in he early morning, it will be warm snough before niid-day to ventilate he bed for a few hours. If the Tames are not properly ventilated, he plants will grow too tall and become tender and will not withstand he transplating without being injured. When a frame is properly conit ructed it will last for a number of fears. Each year, however, fresh mature will have to \w placed in the 'rante. The same hotbed may be use 1 'or various kinds of vegetables. For nstance one may first grow cabbage ?nd cauliflower. After these are removed or transplanted in the cold 'rame, tomatoes, egg plants and pep ter seed may be sown in the same 'rame. Those will be ample size fo.ransplanting by the time the weathtr conditions are favorable. Great are shpuld be exercised in watering he plants. If they are watered too Teely during warm weather they will *row too rapidly, and if watered too 'reoly during excessively cold weathjr, they are liahel to he injured. It s. therefore, recommended that the ilantfc he watered just enough to keep .hem in a good growing condition and lot allow them to suffer. Cold Frame.?The cold frame Oiould always accompany the hotbed, he plants first being started in the rotbed and then transplanted to the old frame, and from there to the open crround whenever the weather condilions will permit. The cold frairr* lifters from the hotbed in only one respect, it does not have the manure ai the bottom of the bed to produce heat, otherwise the frame is constructed in exactly the same way as the hotbed Cold frames are sometimes covered with heavy canvas instead of glass.

CUE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROni ARE GIVING TOASTED CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS To anyone who doesn't know of the onderful advances that have been made n the preparation of smoking tobaccos n the last few years it may sound strange o speak of toasted cigarettes. Strictly speaking, we should say cigarettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok:rs of this country will recognize it more eadily by its trade name,'" LUCKY VTRIKE"?the toasted cigarette. The American Tobacco Company are producing millions of these toasted cigaettes and these are being bought in inormous quantities through the various obacco funds conducted by the newspapers of the country and forwarded hrough the Red Cross Society to the boys :i France. This new process of treating tobacco lot only improves the flavor of the tobacco put it seals in this flavor and makes he cigarettes keep better. The Red Cross nurse is always glad to lave a cigarette for the wounded soldierJ s, in most instances, that is the tuati hing asked for. SEVEN REASONS FOR SAVINGS. There are seven good reasons why the government lias Issued War Savings Stamps: 1. Save for your country's sake, because it is now spending millions a day. and must find most of the money out of savings. 2. Save for your iwn sake, because work and wages are plentiful and. while prices are high now, a dollar will buy morn after tli<? war. 3. Save because, when vou spend, you make other people work for you. and the work of everyone is needed now to win the war. A. Save because. by saving, you make things cheaper for everyone, especially for those who are poorer than yovi. 5. Save because, by going without you relieve the strain on ships, docks, and railways, and make transport cheaper and | quicker. C. Save because, by saving, yon set an example that makes It easier for the neat man to save. A saving nation is an j earning nation. 7. Save because every time yon save you kelp twice, first when you don't spend, and again I j vnea you i?na vo tnc Muot. 0 COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. (Complaint Not Served.)
