BOULWARE Attorney-at-law - Barnwell, S. C. Mr. Teagle, president of .New Jer- rey Standard Oil, warns oil men that 'hey are cutting their own throats. This country is treating thp nation’s rij wealth as unintclltgentlyront- ^rsjnen treated The herdjtrof bison. Therl)isons soon \anished. Oil is actually being sold for less than it cost* to produce, cheerful for l uyers, but it will not last. Millions arc spent developing nev v/clls to increase competition while c il companies are carrying 530 000.009 barrels of oil stored above gnund -Tt an annual cost, loss and waste of $13(7,000.000. —— The country’s national oil wealth, is not merely private wealth. — It is a great national asset and a way should lie found to give oil production some national control and stop waste. - You are told many things about prohibition, for and against. R. H. Davidson, writing from Coronado Bead).„California, asks, “Do you chsfhce to know that tbe sale of chil dren’s shoes has increased 400 per cent per annum since prohibition came ?’’ Blackville, April 9.—Mrs. T.

Overdoing?, ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel. r* Everybody will agree that 400 per cent more shoes for children, com bined with larger savings bank de posits, is a strong argument for pro hibition, assuming those things to be results of pfohilation. Those that would modify the Vol- *trad Act say the average man is earning a!>ont twice v hat he earned l-r fore the war. and increased earn ings, not the absence of beer, explain greater savings and more children’s shoes. • A coal -trike of a sort was start ed last week in whaf is called “the emtral cumnetitive field.’’ Union men in the North cannot compere with non-union men farther South. - The alleged attempt to reduce wag es in the North would cause still further reduction of wages in the South. Industry and business are nor civilr/ed while it is ncCCsaary for employes to engage^in periodical hat- iIcn. at the expense of the workers’ wives and children, to decide what is fair pay. Some impartial third par ty should fix wages. The public pays in the price of coal. See rave.

A NEW TAX EXEMPT<ON ARRIVED AT JAKE MAN N ’5 HOUSE WEIGHT 9 POUNDS by John Jooeph Gaines, M. D. CANCER We Cannot know too much about things that concern life itself. This terrible disease always strikes ter ror in the heart of its victim as well as in the minds of those who love, or are called to minister to him. Hence, this brief article. .. We know that cancer is not com- inWcable—and that it is not His-, tinctly hereditary, though .the “ten dency” may belong to certain fam ilies. 1 have noticed that florid complexions are more Fable to skin malignancy than the medium; and that the very dark individuals are moro^ofton afflicted with malig nant growths ofythe internal or gans. In either instance, continual irritation is the thing that bring cancer info activity. Hence, peo ple with cancer-tendcncics muT avoid all things that set up con tinual irritation; a pipe-stem or cigar; a stiff, hard, hat; a corset -that exerts pressure in some par ticular locality; a rectal grqwt.x simple at first, may become mriig nant by constant irritation; the eating of strong condiments, pep per. catsup, or other active irri tants of the gastric membrane lining, continued for years, nia; hasten a malignant condition. In, this terrible disease, an ounc? of prevention is worth many pounds of cure.. May I insist upon the well-known axiom that, «uc- cess with career depends upon it- early recognition.

Hurry* Worry and Overwork Bring Heavy Strain. M ODERN life throw* a heavy burden on our bodily ma- > chinery. The eliminative organs, es pecially the kidney*, are apt to be come sluggish. Retention of excess uric acid and other poisonous waste often gives rise to a dull, languid feeling and, sometimes, toxic back aches and headaches. That the kid neys are not functioning perfectly is often shown by burning or scanty passage of secretions. More and more people are learning to assist their kidneys by the occasional use of Doan’s Pills—* stimulant diu- redc.

Now New York may have to de cide about executing Mrs. Ruth Sny der. young, blond, curly-haired wid ow, aged thirty-two, who rrccntb confessed she helped another man minder her husband. Sin says she now loathes the man dial did the killing. He seems to have borrowed ri simrestion fr< nt his original ancestor, \datn. Friends say he was hypnotized by the woman v hose husband he killed. If Imnian nature, puM’c opinion arid the course of events work as us- tnl, the matt will be e-eeutetj and the v oman sentenced to life impris onment.

Having told Asiatics that they may not live here, it would be playing the hypocrite and hully to object to Chi-\ na’s decision that she does not want its, or Europeans, on her soil. If we may exclude Asiatics justly, Chi na may, with equal justice, exclude us. Quality Features of the worlds most popular gear-shift truck.
