Provision for Soldiers' Families.
Parents of Enlisted Soldiers :
A law has been passen at Washington
requiring a man in the army
or navy to give part of his pay to J
his wife or children. The government
will also give them a family
allowance, in addition, while the
man is in the service.
The Kingstree chapter of the Am- ,
erican Red Cross has provided a j
place where information concerning ,
allotments, allowances, powers ol attorney,
insurance, etc, for families j
of men in service, can be obtained. ,
Mr W H Welch, manager of the ,
Kingstree Insurance, Real Estate j
and Loan company, also member of
our committee, has offered us his office
for that purpose and he will be J
glad to tell you free of charge all (
about your rights under the new law.
The Home Service committee is '
glad to be of service to you in this j
way, just as we stand ready to help .
or advise you in any matter which |
may be troubling you because of the ,
absence of a man from your family.

The big sale of real estate for Dr 1
D C Scott by Doner's American <

ready to pull off the sale had the

Internal Revenue Collector D C
Heyward urges that every citizen in
this county make his or her income
tax return before March 1 pext.
Explanation by Mr. Barr.
To whom it may concern:
It has come to my attention that a
report has been circulated through
the county that a short time since I
was selling sugar at an exorbitant
price and that a revenue officer called
at my place and closed my store. Although
I dislike newspaper publicity
this report has been so widely circulated
that I have no other means of
correcting same, ana out or justice i
to myself I feel that I should make I
a statement.
This report is false in every respect.
I never sold sugar at a greater
price than 12 cents per pound and
most of the time for less than this
amount. So far as I know, a revenue
officer has never cglled upon me.
nor have I ever received any communication
or instructions from one
of them. I do not know where this
report started, nor what motive
prompted the person or persons who
gave it out. I am in a position to
prove my statements, and if anyone
doubts same I would be glad to have
bira call upon me for the proof.

Sell Cotton Samples for Orphans.
In October, 1917, the cotton buyers
of Greelyyille agreed to save all
samples drawn from bales. The
agreement was observed strictly and
the samples were sold several days
ago for $127.20, which was donated
in equal share to the Jenkins orphanage.
Charleston, Connie Maxwell
orphanage. Greenwood, Thornwell
orphanage, Clinton, Freewill
Baptist orphanage, in North Carolina,
and Epworth orphanage, Columbia.
Each of the above named
institutions receiving $25.44 The
buyers who saved their samples and
made this donation possible were
Fred Mishoe, P R Keels, J W Timmons,
J E Richburg and E B Rhojus.
The amounts given may be
3mall, but it helped to feed our orphans.
Suppose the cotton buyers
of the county pledge to do so in 1918,
what would it do for the good of
humanity? Let's try it. Those
lyishing to do so should write Mr E
B Rhodus, Greelyville, S C.
The Baltimore & Charleston Steamship
Co has applied to the Interstate
Commerce Csmraission for permission
to increase freight rates.

WIFE HAPPY OVER
HIS BIG APPETITE
j MRS ROGERS APPRECIATES HUSBAND'S
COMPLIMENT TO
HER COOKING.
ONCE SUFFERED MUCH.
Mrs Rogers Suffered Long Wfth
Stomach Troubles, But Was
Restored by Tanlac.
My fine appetite certainly pleases
my wife, for she is a good cook and
likes to see me enjoy my meals."
said H M Rogers, of 105 Budd St,
Elmira, N Y, in a story for men,
and women, too, who have a finicky
appetite and cannot eat the fine,
nourishing meals that are set before
them.
"For a while," Mr Rogers explained,
"I couldn't eat any solid
food. I was continually bothered
with gas and bloating that made
me feel very much as if I were going
to burst. My breath would come
short and I would have a stuffed up,
suffocating feeling. It seemed to af
lect my neari. .uy stomacn was so
.sore I could hardly touch it. I kept
doctoring and trying remedies, hut
got worse instead of better. While
I was suffering so I kept hearing of
a new medicine, Tanlac. and commenced
to take it. I didn't get any
relief from the first bottle, and said
to myself, 'Stung again,' but people
told me to give it a fair trial,
and so I kept on. In a little while
then I began to improve. After
my fourth bottle I felt fine. The
old appetite came back; I did not
have any more gas or bloating or
suffocating spells, and my stomach
and whole system were toned right
up.
"That is all true," declared Mrs
T>
1 (1111(11 nu^CU nunucic*
for him, and we are glad to tell our
experience to everyone. It is no
use to doubt this Tanlac; it does
the work."
Tanlac is the Master Medicine for
ailments of stomach, liver and kidneys
and catarrhal affections, which
so often makes good after other
medicines have failed.
Tanlac, the master medicine, is
sold by Kingstree Drug Co, Kingstree;
Mallard Lumber Co, Greelyville;
Farmers' Drug Co, Hemingway;
S S Aronson, Lane; R P Hinnant,
Suttons; W D Bryan, Bryan. I
Insurance for Every Fighter.
The Treasury department is making
every effort to have every member
of America's fighting forces take
advantage of the Government-insurance
plan, which Secretary McAdoo
asserts to be "the most just and
humane provision ever made by any
nation for its soldiers and sailors."
The purpose is rapidly being
achieved, the insurance having passed
the third billion mark ir. the
total of policies written, and there
are many military units in which
every member has taken insurance.
The automatic insurance provided
by the law is only partial and
limited protection, payable only to
wife, child or widowed mother and
ceases after February 12, 1918. It
is important, therefore, not only to
the soldiers and sailors of the country
but to their families and dependents,
that before that date they
avail themselves of the full government
protection, which can go as
high as 810,000 and is payable to a
wife, husband, child, grandchild,
parent, brother, or sister.
The law also provides for the reeducation
and rehabilitation of the
totally disabled and monthly com
Jpensation to those disabled.
