POTATOES CHEAPEST FOOD YOUCAN BUY FOOD ADMINISTRATION APPEALS TO PEOPLE TO CONSUME SUR PLUS AND AVOID WASTE. Columbia, S. C.-In a letter sent out by William Elliott, Food Admin istrator for South Carolina, to (lie re tail grocers throughout the State, at. tention is called to the big surplus in Irish potatoes, and the retailers are urged to push their sales. The ap peal is made by the 1" ood Adminis tration to the people of the state that they eat more potatoes and consume the big surplus during the next few weeks in order that a tremendous waste may be avoided. There are in South Carolina at the present time 40,000 bags of potatoes in hands of the wholesalers and 10,000 bags in the hands of the retailers. It is estimated by the Federal Food Ad ministration that the surplus this year over normal times is 110,000,000 bush els. The new crop will be coming in in a few weeks to add to this surplus. "It woul dbe a cryirg shame in this time of food shor -'e for this surplus in potatoes to go waste," says Mr. Elliott in his letter to the retailers. Farmers were last year urged to plant big Potato crops In order to re lieve the food situation, and did so patriotically, and at present prices. says Mr. Elliott, Irish potatoes are not only the most plentiful food, but they are the cheapest food that consumers can buy. Wholcsac ler3 at different points In the State are selling potatoes at from ,no dollar to two dolars a hag less than they cost tten..

HOW A RURAL SCHOOL IS FIGHTING THE KAISEAl Whole Community Awakened to a War Consciousness by the Bethea 'Rural School. Columbia.-- -iliow effectively a rural school can tight the Kaiser and make its influence felt throughout a commu. nity, awakening the people to a war consciousness and to a sense of their responsibility in the present crisis, has been striking&' demonstrated by the Bethea schoolh in Aiken county, reports of which have been received by the Food Administration. 1Pood production andl conservation have been so impressed upon the peo. plo of the Bethea community, through the medium of the school-the c'hil dren carrying the gospel home to their parents- -and the night school, which is attended by many adults. that In response to the crying need of the allied world for food. sixty-one acrs have been sown in wheat this spring as against only ten acres last year. This is only one of the several achievement of Bleliea school in war work. Bothea is a t wo-teacher school, five miles west of Wagener. The young women who preside ever the school are Misses Mary Eva lute and Myrtle IBurke; and they have, in addi tion to their regular duties, devoted time, effort and careful thought to helping the people of the community to do their utmost in helping win the war. A plot of land adjoinhing the school ground has been secured for a War Service Garden, which Is given as nuch attention as any other part of the school work. A Junior Red Cross arganisation has been perfected with n, membership of thirty-three-all ichool children. All communIty work w'an directed to Red Cross work last tall at the begi~nning of the school erm, and practically every home tn Lhe community has turned in son~e of he two hundred and sixty-eight arti 'les that have been finished.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot De Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There te only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result. Unless the inflaimation can be reduced and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness aro caused by catarrh. which is on L.flamed condition of the mucous sur faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous aurfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir culars free. All Druggists. 75c. F. 3. *H ENEY & CO.. Toledo, O.
