M# P lW. HOUSING IN WINTER I have a neighbor who keeps a three-story apartment house. This Imilding is. strictly modern in the western sense, having hot and cold water, refrigeration, and the most sanitary of kitchenette equipment; ■and it has the most efficient of heating plants to be found anywhere. "This, in one of the most variable climates that I know of—Missouri. My neighbor is thoroughly equipped with the idea of keeping his house WARM. I have attended patients there when the thermometer stood at zero, and . have been compelled to remove my coat to avoid breaking into an uncomfortable perspiration. I have,wanned the own er of the danger of extremes in temperature in living apartments; and he himself uses more medicine for “colds” than any three of my other jpatrons who live in less scientific homes. * Imagine sitting in a temperature of 80 degrees, (often higher) and then walking uptown facing a northwest wind in a temperature below ifreeaing! Imagine sleeping in a room at 75, and going out before breakfast in a zero temperature to brush away snow from the front 'door! ' The object in writing this is to urge on my readers the great danger subjecting the body to extremes of temperature in winter. It is equally bad for adults and children. The “germ” is a very poor ■ -second or even third in causing colds, when compared with overheated Jiving-rooms; and this doesn’t mean “chilly” or damp sitting-rooms either. Living-rooms should be COMFORTABLE, and maintained so hy careful attention. A good thermometer is indispensable in the home. And the matter of proper, healthful ventilation is not so simple as one might suspect. It will pay you to study it closely. TREMBLING ON THE VERGE DON’T GAMBLE WITH A COLD Neglecting a cold is a real gamble for you never know yhat- it may develop into. You can save your health and much disagreeableness by treating your cold with our re liable remedies right at the start. f 'WE HAVE THE 'REMEDIES YOU NEED . Remedies that have proven their merit by test. They will prevent and break up colds in short order. It is a mighty wise idea to pay our store a visit and secure a sup ply of the needed items so you wilt have them ready. STROMS’ DRUG STORE MAIN STREET McCORMICK. S.

S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. The United States is a famous trembler. There has never been a time in its history when some one was not ready to announce that it was “trembling on the verge.” Washington despaired of it. Lincoln despaired of it. Many present- day prophets assure us that it passed over the peak in 1929, and is now definitely on the r way 'down. Yet within the past few months I have enjoyed some interesting ex periences. I have attended the annual sales conventions of a number of major industries. Their business, when I visited them, was terrible. But what took place at the conventions? In one of them, an electrical industry, the head of the research de partment revealed plans for a new household utility which promises to banish one disagreeable feature of housework. It is certain to have a tremendous sale. In a furniture company, the ‘fplann^ng department” displayed a whole new line of improved floor coverings. In a third, an optical concern, the scientists told us of work now go ing on which may give all of us better eyesight. Everywhere I found men’s backs turned upon present discourage ments, and minds busy with better goods, better methods, better ideas and better living. I spoke to the head of one company about it. He said he had re cently been holding a meeting of their English representatives. He told them casually that the company had hired an engineer and assign ed him the task of making a world survey of their sources of raw ma terials for the next twenty-five years. One of the Englishmen exclaimed: “Confound you Yankees! What English company would ever think of hiring a man to look ahead twenty-five years?” Coming to the end of all these meetings, I concluded ihat it is a waste of time to worry about the future of American business. We have an asset more fundamental than gold supply, or raw ma terials, or electric power, or climate. That asset is a restless dissatis faction with the past, a spirit of continuous improvement. • As long as we are inspired by that spirit I believe that our future is secure. We shall not go down to destruction. No matter how often we may tremble on the verge. i r cuirofTi I Episcopal Church Schedule J SfRVtR BE READY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OPPORTUNITY Procrastination never got anybody anywhere.

For a time it creates a feeling that half of the small business men here are on the financial roqks. Instead of that, it seems to be a regular way of doing business. Peo ple in strange neighborhoods fall for the glaring signs just as much as visitors from other cities. It is only in their own districts that they are able to detect the. fake sales. That many of them are fakes is plain. One only has to look at the dirt on'some of the signs to realize that they were originally nailed up years ago. But it seems to attract trade. Free' Beer— One men’s wear shop hit on a new plan recently to attract trade. It placed a picture of a foaming stein of beer in its window under the legend, “free beer.” One goes in, gets a big glass of beer and a handful of pretzels without charge and then wanders around and selects items. The place is doing a rushing busi ness as a result. By the way, the beer is strictly legal, although a few steps down the street one can get the real article in a speakeasy. Page Mr. Volstead— New York is franker about its evasion of the prohibition law than any other big city in the country. Just ahead of the holidays some of the newspapers devoted a column or so to giving the cu#rent prices of Scotch, rye, bourbon whiskies, and gin and other liquors. Whiskey was quoted at from $1.50 a quart to $4 for the best imported, other prices being in line. No places were listed by street number but intending purchasers used the list to prevent being over charged—and the bootleggers themselves not only stood by the prices but, we learned, are the men who went around to the paper and named the prices. Indirect Advertising— Quite a few bootleggers have a novel scheme for advertising. They send men around who place a price list of liquors in your mail-box, no thing else being on the card or in that envelope. But, and here is the catch, one finds in the same box another en velope, probably advertising an ex pensive laundry, a place obviously too expensive for general patron age But on it is the name “Tom’s Place” or some other indication that one would never find on a laundry. And that’s one way New Yorkers discover where to buy drinkables. City Kindness— Police Commissioner Mulrooney got a letter the other day in which he was told he was no good if he didn’t call in Patrolman Chris topher Mitchell and shake him by the hand. The'letter told-him. ex actly what he ought to do—and the Commissioner did it. The whole thing was caused by the fact that the little daughter of the writer of the letter—a married man out of work with four chil dren, met the Officer, practically a stranger t;o her, on Christmas Eve. The cop asked her what she was going to have to eat for Christ mas. When she sadly told him nothing he took her by the hand, led her to a butcher’s and bought her two chickens and then filled a huge basket with other things, and sent her home, paying for every thing out of his own pocket. And so Patrolman Mitchell unex pectedly received the personal thanks of Mr. Mulrooney. Ajid he’s been promoted since, in addition.

AFTER 40 bowel trouble Constipation may very easily become chronic after forty. And any continued constipation at that time of life may bring attacks of piles and a host of other unpleasant disorders. Watch your bowels at any age Guard them with particular care after forty. Whenever they need any help, remember a doctor should know what is best for them. “Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin” is a doctor's prescription for the bowels. Tested by 47 years' practice, it has been found thoroughly effective in relieving consti pation and its ills for men, women and children of all ages. It has proven perfectly safe even for babies. Made from fresh laxative herbs, pure pepsin and other harmless ingredients, it cannot gripe; will not sicken you or weaken you; can be used without harm as often as your breath is bad, or when your tongue is coated; whenever a headachy, bilious, gassy condition warns of constipation.

CASON, Pastor -X- -IXT- Black Locust A Farm Tree ' Black Locust trees being distrib uted by the State Forestry Com mission are in great demand by farmers who see in their rapid growth and lasting qualities in the soil a permanent source of fence posts for use on the farm, accord ing to Assistant State Forester N. T. Barron of Columbia. This tree, according to the Forester, on the better soils will make usable fence posts in 10 to 15 years. It will also grow on poor, sterile and dry soils and thus is valuable for planting on the eroded hillsides of the Piedmont. In addition to its value as a wood, this tree belongs to the legume family and is a soil enricher. Its tremendous root system aids in retaining soil part icles when planted along eroding gullies. When planted for fence posts the youngitrees are frequent ly set out along the fence row with a spacing equal to the required spacing of the posts. The fuel value of Black Locust is very high. This tree should not be planted in very sandy or in very acid or poorly drained soils, but with these exceptions the tree will grow any place in South Carolina. Black Locust seedlings are avail able from the State Forest Service, Columbia, S. C., or through Dis trict Foresters located in Spartan burg, Aiken, Florence and Waiter- boro, at a cost of $3.00 per thou sand for trees up to 12,” $4.00 per thousand for trees 12-18 inches high and from 18” up, $5.00 per thousand, f. o. b. Camden. Longleaf Pine, Slash Pine and Loblolly Pine are also available for reforestation at $3.00 per thousand.
