The following editorial comment
was also made concerning this im
portant meeting:
The church of Christ today faces
moral, religious and political prob
lems of far reaching influence up
on the future of b»Mi religion and
civilization.
Crime, atheism, immorality, in
temperance, are organized and are
arrogant, insolent and unashamed.
Not in modem times has irrever
ence for the institutions of religion
reached so dangerous an attitude
as now.
“Christ was crucified by a refer
endum.” There is not a cause
which He holds dear which His ene
mies are not ready to resubmit to
day.
The experience of Canada in al
lowing liquor to come back has
brought disappointment, sorrow
and deep regret. The same expe
rience will be ours if we allow the
liquor interests to triumph.
Sincere co-operation on the part
of all Christian leaders is required
at this time.

Thunder Does
Not Sour Milk
Contrary to popular belief, thun
der does not have anything to do
with the souring of milk, says the
United States Department of Agri-)
culture. Just before a thunder- 1
storm the atmosphere is unusually
warm or even uncomfortably hot.
This warm condition is ideal for
! bacteria to work, and the sour milk
is a result. The heat and bac
teria do the trick, not the thun
der. More attention to cooling the
milk is suggested to prevent sour
ing at these times.

Too many people fail u o regulate
their bite by their capacity to
chew.
More children and adolescents die
from tuberculosis than from any of
the common diseases cf childhood,
according to a report of the South
Carolina tuberculosis association,
mailed this week to members and
prospective members in counties
having no tuberculosis associations.
In a program based upon this fact
the field nursing service of the as
sociation in the last eight months,
had 2516 children in counties giv
en the tuberculin test to see if they
were infected and found 373 posi
tive reactors. Local physicians
and volunteer workers and a clini
cian furnished by the State Board
of Health, co-operated in this work.
The positive reactors are being
followed up to see that they are
given a thorough examination,
with x-ray pictures, to discover if
they have tuberculosis in either
the adult or chilhood form.
Due to the loss cf funds in closed
banks, the nursing service has been
suspended for three months. The
response to the membership appeal
will decide whether or not the ser
vice will be restored in the fall.
The membership letter states
that a dollar invested in this nurs
ing service will give at least one
child, who has been expo*sed to
tuberculosis, the opportunity for
examination, instruction and pos
sibly treatment.
Since only a few letters are being
mailed, the State Association at Co
lumbia is requesting readers of this
paper who are interested, to send in
their membership dollars without
personal solicitation. Organiza
tions may become members upon
payment of a five dollar fee.

Livestock A Good Bet
In Depression Times
/
CLEMSON COLLEGE, July 5.—
Feed crops, like most other things,
are cheap now, but,.the cost of
marketing these crops has not been
materially reduced, and for this
and many other reasons, it is a
good plan for farmers to market
their feed crops through livestock,
Prof. L. V. Starkey, chief of the
animal husbandry division here,
thinks. ~
“While meat animals are low in
price now, they are certainly noi
relatively lower than feed crops,
and there is always a sale for meat-
producing animals,” Prof. Starkey
continues. “When a farmer pro
duces meat animals on his farm
he may rest assured that they will
bring cash any day he wants to put
them on the market.
“Hogs, cattle, and sheep have
not made ‘a killing’ during the past
year, but where they were produced
on home-grown feeds they have
marketed these feeds at a reason
able price and brought to the farm
a cash income. So there seems to
be no logical reason why there
should be a decline in the live
stock population of South Caro
lina.”
