Afternoon and Tonight?Y. M. C.
A. Signs for Another Year.
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

TO ENLARGE BUSINESS.
?I. M. 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?

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.

Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little things to \
annoy us, under present conditions
of life. 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. Nothing in the world equals Ihf^n
as a headache remedy. Often I an
enabled by the use of one or two ot
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise 1 would be in bed. My
husband Joins me in mv pnise of the
Antl-Paln Pills and Nervine.*'
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Fills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and Irritability in thou*
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years' use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them. n

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.
To be fed with the usual quantities of grass, hay, corn-fodde*-,
etc.
These are war times. Cam is a human food. Better savs it.
