There is just so much work that must be done each week, and as there is never an excess in the force, a day of idleness makes it a hardship to accomplish that which must be done. In the case of a rush of extra advertising matter, such as we have had this week, and to get the paper out on time without some shortcoming would be almost imDossible. We had hoped that the order of the fuel administrator relative to heatless Mondays would be rescinded before another one rolls round, but at present there is little or no prospect of a reality, and we mean to peg along, cut out Heatless Monday, and get out The Record in as good form as we can and as nearly on time as circumstances will permit.

Buy a War Savings Stamp. The greatest thing about learning to save is to make a start. There are very few people who have not determined at some time or other in their lives that they would lay by something for the proverbial rainy day. Where they fail in their plans in the great majority of cases is that they never get enough ahead, as they think, to warrant them in opening a savings account at the bank or making any definite move to acquiring habits of thrift. When they are in funds their thoughts are filled with wants that must be met, and their desires grow as a rule decidedly faster than they are able to gratify them. For people of this kind the war savings stamps movement should accomplish wonders. War savings stamps make saving easv and they makeit attractive. Twenty-five cents is all that is needed to make a beginning; that will buy a thrift stamp For $4.13, invested now, a war savings stamp can be purchased, redeemable by the governmant in January, 1923, at $5. Many who buy these stamps will thus come to com v-aUah/1 fUo firaf fimo flio maorin picticiiu 1U1 liiv mow vi iiiv viiv of compound interest, will perceive for themselves the inner meaning of the old adage, "Take care of your money and your money will take care of you." This is a lesson which once learned is not easily forgotten or disregarded. It is gratifying to see that the war savings stamps movement is getting under way in South Carolina, for there is no part of the country that has suffered more because its people did not know how to keep their money from burning holes in their pockets. They have the chance now to learn andthev can have the added satisfaction of feeling that every thrift stamp purchased, every war savings stamp that is bought, is a direct contribution to the winning of the war.?Xeicx & Courier. | JR. RED CROSS NOTES. | A PROCLAMATION. To the Schoolchildren of the United States: The President of the United States is also President of the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined in one that I writeyou a word j of greeting at this time when so! many of you are beginning the school | year. The American Red Cross has just prepared a junior membership with school activities in which every pupii in the United States can find a chance to serve our country. The school is the natural center of your life. Through it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service to your community and to other communities all over the world and guide your service with high and religious ideals. It will teach you how to save in order that suffering children elsewhere may have the chance to live. It will teach you how to prepare nwnAA rt? ounnliAQ IVAtinHoH BUItlC Ut tllC 3U^^llCO nui\.ll TTUUUUVU soldiers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross bulletins the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And best of all, more perfectly than through any of your other school lessons, you will learn by doing those kind things under your teacher's direction to be the future good citizens of this great country which we all love. And I commend to all school teachers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your cooperation, knowing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs? (Signed) Woodrow Wilson, President.

Don't trifle with your health; if you need some remedy take a tried one, which for nearly a quarter of a century has stood the test of time. No man or woman is eqipped for noble deeds who is a dyspeptic or who suffers from any form of nervousness and anaemic conditions of the blood. Indigestion, stomach troubles and impure blood weaken our minds, dwarf our capacities and limit oar possibilities. Mrs C B Jaynes, R F D 1, Eastover, S C, writes: "I was a great sufferer from constipation,stomach troubles, indigestion and general weakness. I could eat nothing, or what I did turned sour and gassy, causing me intense pain at times. Could not sleep and was all run down. I was advised to try your Ironized Paw-Paw and did so with such beneficial results that I called to interview the Iron Man demonstrating at Wingfield's Drug Store t*> thank him and you. I never experienced such relief from pain and wretchedness.
