ADOPTS RESOLUTION AS TO IODINE TRADEMARK Columbia. — Confederate Veterans and their widows will receive addi tional pensions under the terms of a bill advanced to third reading in the house Thursday after considerable de bate. The amount now appropriated for Confederate pensions is $750,000. Under the bill passed last week, this amount will be increased to approxi mately $825,000 to be apportioned among the veterans of the different counties. The bill provides pensions of $240 per year for all veterans; $160 for Confederate widows 60 years of age and over, and $125 for other widows. When the measure came up Thurs day Representr.tive W. I). Kirby, of Cherokee, who with D. L. Smith, of Colleton, and T. N. Dulin, of York, in troduced the bill, made a speech in favor of it. He declared the old sol diers and their widows were suffering, that some were going hungry and that they needed more pension money. “We have money for everything,” he said, “except the old Soldiers and their widows.” Mr. Dulin added his voice to that Mr Kirby for favorable action on the bill. D. L. Smith also spoke for tho measure. Representative J. E. Harley, of Barnwell, said hi* county in its county supply bill made provision for the old soldiers in addition to that provided by the State. While he was in favor of larger pensions, he thought the present state appropriation might be left as it is and the counties in their supply bills make additional pro vision. Representative S. T. D. Lancaster, of Spartanburg, spoke for the bill which was advanced to third reading. To Provide for Refund.

Brown has introduced a bill in the Legislature to provide a refund of county taxes to J. J. Boyd, of WMliston. It was read the first time and placed on the calen dar without reference. Augusta.—Announcement is made ot the death of Miss Tillie Young blood, who died Thursday night at an Augusta infirmary after an illness of two months. Funeral services were held at First Baptist church in Au gusta on Saturday. Miss Youngblood was well known in Augusta, having taught for over 40 y«ars at the Augusta Orphan asy lum. She is survived by a brother, F. M. Fuel system of the new Ford has been designed for reliability and long service '/pi- Kgfc. 11 w, THE practical value of Ford simplicity of design is es pecially apparent in the fuel system. ^ The gasoline tank is built integral with the cowl and is unusually sturdy because it is made of heavy sheet steel, lerne plated to prevent rust or corrosion. An additional fHCtor of strength is the fact that it is composed of only two pieces, instead of three or four, and is electrically welded—not soldered. Because of the location of the tank, the entire flow of gasoline is an even,* natural flow'—following the natural law of gravity. This is the simplest and most direct way of supplying gasoline to the carburetor without vari ations in pressure. The gaso line feed pipe of the new Ford is only 18 inches long and is easily accessible all the way. The gasoline passes from the tank to the carburetor through a filter or sediment bulb mounted on the steel dash which separates the gasoline tank from the engine. 4 The carburetor is specially designed and has been built to deliver many thousands of miles of good service. Since all adjustments are fixed except the needle valve and idler, there is practi cally nothing to get out of order. The choke rod on the dash acts as a primer and also as a regulator of your gasoline mixture. The new hot fpot manifold insures conixdele vaporization of the gasoline before it enters the combustion chamber of the ' engine. — y—■ •—-«—»♦- — As a matter of fact, the fuel system of the new Ford is so simple in design and so carefully made that it requires very little service attention. The filter or sediment bulb should be cleaned at regular intervals and the carburetor screen removed and washed in gasoline. Oc casionally the drain plug at the bottom of the carburetor should be removed and the carburetor drained for a few seconds. Have your Ford dealer look after these important little details for you when you have the car oiled and greased. A thorough, peri odic checking-up costs little, but it has a great deal to do with long life and continuously good performance. Youngblood; nieces, Miss Mamie Youngblood, Mrs. C. H. Bruce, Mrs. B. L.
