WHAT ONE WOMAN !
HAS DONE ABOUT IT
Pits From Wasted Fruit Should
Be Collected and Sent to
Red Cross.
When the waves of poison gas,
loosed by the Germans, swept toward
the American soldiers and
their comrades in arms, alarm is
sounded and, trained to be quick, the
boys in khaki don their gas masks.
Only those masked save them from
inhaling the deadly fumes and dying
horrible deaths." Many an American
soldier owes his life to his gas mask.
It is one of the most important items
of the soldier's equipment in modern
warf aiv.
Uncle Sam is fitting out millions
of soldiers. There must be millions

here is a problem. The carbon which
is necessary to the making of the
masks is difficult to get. The supply
of carbon is short. The American
people arc being depended upon
to save certain fruit and nut seed, to
turn these in to the nearest Red
Cross, so Hi at carbon can be made
from them and the carbon used for
the making of gas maska.
In South Carolina peihaps the
most {plentiful fruit, from the seed
of which carbon can be made, is the
peach. Of course peaches are gone
now for this season. But the seed
are not gone. A splendid suggestion
has come to the food administration
from a woman near Jonesvillc, who
has found a veritable mine of peach
seed and a mine that is duplicated
in hundreds and thousands of places
in this SUite. If this young woman's
suggestion is followed generally, in
the same patriotic manner in which
she has set the example, enough
peach seed can be collected in South
Carolina to make carbon for thousands
of gas masks.
Only -nearly every farm there is
a peach orchard, or at least a few

portion of the fruit drops off an
rots on the ground during wot weatb
e?-, which comes just about the time
peach05 ripen. Dry weather follow
ing hardens and rottens the meal
around the seed, preserving th ? seed.
Those rotted peaches, if picked up
soaked and hulled even now, will disclose
the seed perfectly sound. Some
times the seed can he taken out. with
the hands, and somtimes the assistance
of a knife is necessary. 1
requiros only a few hours to soak
tho .peaches in order to get the seed
out.
From a small orchard sovora1
bushels of peach seed may be obtained
in this manner. Near Jonesvdle
the patriotic young woman already
referred to cleaned five and
one-half bushels of peach seed, picked
up on the ground in a small orchard.
She invited several of her
neighborhood friends to join her on^
evening last week, and together
they cleaned seven pecks of poaches.
To add pleasure to the party, she
served molasses candy, charging a
small fee and raising a tidy sum for
the benefit of a ^ar charity work
thu^ filing Cwo fine birds with one
stone. In this manner this resourceful
young woman enlisted the aid of
people, who otherwise would not
have spent their time so profitably
or so patriotically.
What this young woman has done
others throughout the rural sections
of South Carolina can do equally as
effectively, and they will not only
enjoy the fustivity of the parties so
arranged, but they will also be finding
means of furnishing fighting
men, perhaps their own brothers and
loved ones?wth gas masks for gas

END IS NEAR FOR
DESPOTIC CONTROL
Washington.?Signs are multiplying
in reports reaching the state deJ
partment from various agencies in
neutral European countries of the
rapid weakening of the despotic control
which the military elements in
Germany and Austria have imposed
' - }__ ? ...
upon ine civilian population. JSo ex'
tensive and consequential are the
events quickly following one another
in Berlin and Vienna, that American
officials are becoming convinced
1 that the imperial rulers have been
1 forced, however reluctantly, to the
'conviction that if they are to pre|
serve their dynasty from destruction
i they must yield to the growing demands
of the civilian elements for
the right of participating in the
government during this crisis.
The military parties have retained
their control only because of their as
sorted ability to secure a military do
cision that would confirm German
supremacy over continental Europe
and the British Isles as well. Now
that the German armies are being
defeated and driven back into Germany
and the nation is confronted
with the painful certainty and a retributive
justice for the wrongs inflicted
upon the French and Belgians,
the influence of the Pan-Germans
and military partes is waning,
and it is believed that the two emper
ors have decided that if they are to
i-etain the support of the people they
must turn to the civilian parties that
have been demanding a voice in affairs.

GETTING RID OF TICKS.
A South Carolina reader writes
that in those sections where the ticks

cows "find it inconvenient to bail 1 a
vat or to drive their cattle to a
neighbor's, who perhaps will either
charge for the use of his vat or else
would rather not be botherd." To
overcome this difficulty he suggests
I ho old remedy, much used before
the arsenal dip was discovered, "a
rag and kerosene oil."

Wake this beauty lotion cheaply

At the cost of a small jar of ordinary

lemon skin softener and complexion

of two fresh lemony into a bottle containing
three ounces of orchard white.
Care should be taken to strain the

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMa? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts
like dynamite on

Calomel loses you a day! You know
what cajomel is. It's mercury; quicicsilver.
Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel j
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson's l iver Tone, Tli'hich
is entirely vegetable and pleasant^?
take and is a perfect substitute f^tf 1
calomel. It is guaranteed to stytrt
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tono straightens
you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripPt
