From The Dally tlem, April 26. Yesterday afternoon at c. meeting of the board of directors of the Y. M. C. A. a contract was again made with the Redpath Chautauqua bureau for next season. Although not as many tickets were pledged, as was desired, It Is thought that, unless conditions in this section are vastly different on ac? count of the war being prolonged, the Chautauqua will be supported more largely than ever before. Sumter pa? trons therefore have this attraction which has become an annual one for ths city snd one which has delighted a large number of citizens. Yesterday s program wis a full one. The attractions were pleasing and numerous. In the afternoon, at the conclusion of the community sing? ing, Mr. Hardy presented Dr. William L. Tomlins, the originator iJ com munlty singing. Dr. Tomlins, who had charge of all of the music at the Columbian exposition in Chicago, and who, by the way, Is now net.rlng his eightieth birthday and has been sing? ing professionally for sixty-four years, mads a very interesting talk on the origin of community singing, the idea it conveyed and the great good it, or any kind of singing, accomplished. He gave an analysis of music, as It ap? pealed to the human emotions and mind, and showed how through it much of good had been and could be accomplished. Dr. Gee. L, McNutt, the "Dinner Pail Man," as he has been called, was the next speaker. He told how Sum tor housewives could reduce the high cost of living. His lecture was a prac? tical one In many ways. The speaker held the attention of his audience throughout his talk, his forcefulness snd earnestness adding to the interest of what he said. He gave a large number of ways of preparing cereals and at the conclusion of his talk In an informal way answered questions propounded him by members of his audience. Wednesday night was "Children's" night. Mother Goose was present and with he** were the members of he large snd Interesting family. There were several hundred children who psrtlcipated In the frolic and all seemed to enjoy themselves thorough? ly. The children who were looking on Instead of participating and the older folks who were spectators also en Joyed this very pleasing part of the program. Mise McCormlck has Kept herself and the children extremely busy In the five days she has had them in charge to train them for this event snd she has wrought wonders with them. She and her pupils are to be congratulated upon the success of their entertainment. Mr. McGregor gave several most de? lightful musical numbers which were enjoyed by all. He has an exceptional voice and his efforts were appreciated. Lieut. Robert Bowman, formerly of the ambulance corps In France, de? livered the talk of the day. Lieut. Bowman Is not an eloquent orator, but he Is a man with an earnest mes? sage and he delivers In a way that holds his audience waiting on his ev? ery word. His talk, for that is what it was, was to the large audience the most interesting of the Chautauqua series of lectures. The United States' recent entrance into the world war has created a great -ai additional interest in the war among the citi? zens of this country and they were in the right mood to hear what this clev? er young speaker had to say. Lieut. Bowman is doing a great work for the United States by his talk, for he is encouraging enlistments more than any number of recruiting officers could. Lieut. Bowman described what ho had seen and what he had gone through. He told of the work of his department and of other departments! as well of the movements of the arm? ies. His description of the first ad? vance at the Battle of the Somme was a magnificent word picture that would thrill anyone. Ills talk was Illustrated with slides made from ko? dak pictures he had taken on the front. WANTED.

Harby Adds New Department to His Contracting Business. Mr. J. M. Harby has recently added a new department to his contracting business, bringing four experienced tinners and their families to Sumter l thereby. He has added a tinning and roofing department and through the work of the new men he has brought to Sumter expects to increase the scope of his business considerably. The bringing of new citizens to Sum? ter Is calculated to help the town, by Increasing Its business and adding to its propspertty, [ How to Keep Down Cost of Living. The day of luxury has passed, so far as the present order of things is concerned. Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the well-known food expert, for many years in the employ of the United States government, says. I s "Whether vwe remain at peace or adventure on war, the government should take over our food supplies. "Every family in the country must be able to buy staple foods at fixed prices. I "Already one-tenth of the people of the United States are starving. Such starvation is largely due to stupidity. "Even today one dollar spent on In? dian corn will keep a working man well nourished for one month. Five dollars will supply four weeks' satis? fying food for an average family. | "Plain living? Of course! But you I may take it from me, the war has kill- I ed luxury for this generation. "Humanity is entering upon such a period of enforced economy as the world bus never seen. Europe feeh? this today. We may realize it tomor? row. I The Balanced Ration. "When one dollar can purchase only 50 cents worth of food the man who earns and the woman who spends must learn what foods furnish the most nourishment before they buy. "Corn bread, corn mush, any one of a hundred corn dishes with a bak? ed potato and an apple supply a per? fectly balanced diet. ?Tor children milk is also necessary ?one pint of milk per child per day. Health for Four Cents. "I will guarantee to keep any child in perfect health, growth and enjoy? ment on a dally ration of one-half pound of corn meal and one pint of milk a day?cost four cents. "That plan steals the threat from food wars or railway strikes, and puts the quietus on the question of the high cost of living. Hungry Can't Work. , "A hungry child cannot be good; neither can it work or study properly. "My household of four makes four dinners from a five-pound roast, changing to a chicken on Sunday. The rest of the diet is fruit, potatoes and cereals. We work hard and are never 111. j j My farmer, who earns one-twen tih of my wages, spends not less I than five times as much per person on food for his household. Prejudice a Factor. ' "My corn meal mush costs six cents) a pound; his breakfast cereal sells for 25 cents e >ound. "I offered *o supply his corn and wheat free. " 'No, thank you.' said he, 'my wife wouldn't stand for It. If wo ate as you do, all the neighbors would make re? marks.' "There lies the chief reason for the high cost of living?prejudice and fashion."?The Watch Tower. Privateer Mas?

The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We arc frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well. A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pili? to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsrieid, 8j Plum St., Atlanta Ga., writes: "I have on several occasions been vastly relieved by the use of your med? icines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills, which 1 keep constantly on band for the use of myself, husband a:^d two sons.

HAYNSWORTH, County Superintendent of Education, tfflwwww?mt?m???nmnn Corn Selling at $1.72 a Bushel, Wholesale! Worth Saving, Isn't It? Then feed your stock a ration of COTTON SEED MEAL with Corn. Dr. Tait Butler says that If you are feeding your mule 14 lbs. of corn per day, you can take our four pounds and put in two pounds of Cotton Seed Meal and get better results. Four pounds of Corn is worth 12 Cents today. Two pounds of Cotton Seed Meal is worth 4 cents?a saving of 8 cents per day and each animal fed. In 36B days you would save $29.20, if you put into practice the advice of Dr. Butler, who is conceded to be the higest authority on feeds and feeding. It is as necessary to SAVE as it is to PRODUCE, and "saving" and producing" are the watchwords of today. In The Progressive Farmer, Mach 24th. 1917, Dr. Butler recom? mends the following ration for work stock when Cotton Seed meal is used: (1) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal by weight to 5 parts of Corn. (2) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 4 parts Corn, 4 parts Oats. (3) 1 Part Cotton Seed Meal to 10 parts Oats. A pint to a quart daily Wli 1 produce good results.
