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.

J. 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.

Forced Sales—
Visitors to New York cannot fail
to notice the enormous number of
fire sales, bankrupt stocks offered
and other types of forced sales be
ing held here at all times. 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.

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.
