Rose That Changes Color.
White in the shade, red in the sun
such is the twofold character that has
given a minie to the "chameleon rose.'*
At night, or when it is carried into a
dark room, it assumes a waxlike white?
ness. This docs not occur abruptly,
but the petals first pa's through ti
bluish tint, which rapidly changes Into
a very pale rose, and finally ends bj

is taken into bright sunlight, with tin
greatest rapidity it resumes the scarlet

Licorice root Is fdjund in various

probably on account of the lack of

spread In 'certain localities as to be?
come a pest difficult to eradicate. Now.
its usefulness has been recognised, and
the diggers pay two cents a pound for
tin* privilege of digging it.

Fop or Against Uncle Sam.
To oppose the war savings move
ment is to oppose victory on the
P?rt of the United States and its
Allies.
To be indifferent toward this
great movement is to be in effect
Indifferent toward the murder of
women, children, and other civil?
ians.
To belittle the war savings
movement is to belittle the heroic
sacrifices of dead and wounded sol?
diers who fought for your protec?
tion.
Failure to back the government
In the W. S. S. campaign is failure
to be a true American. The Amer?
ican who does not help America to
the limit of his means and ability
automatically helps Germany to
the limit of his means and ability.
In these times a person either
helps or hinders.
If our soldiers did not take their
duties seriously, there would be
disastrous results for those ?t
home.
And if those at home do not take
their duties seriously, there will
be disastrous results fcr our sol?
diers, for our sailors, and for us
all.
If our soldiers can GIVE their

Dividends in W. S. S.
Charleston.?-To the First National
Bank, of Florence, S. C, falls the dis?
tinction of being the first bank in the
country to adopt the plan of paying
dividends to stockholders in War Sav?
ings Stamps. Tills bank, according
to an official report received from
Washington, has set the pace for the
country in this respect, and is closely
followed by the Union National Brink,
of Columbia, which also pays stock?
holders' dividends in War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds. Banks all
over the country, and other concerns,
sre adopting this patriotic plan.

This Is The Limit!

only two men in Sou'.h Carolina have

of War Savings Stamps?one thou

ard I. Manning and J. E. Wannamak
er, of St. Matthews, have purchased
War Saving* Stamps to the extent of
11,000, the limit allowed by law. It
is. reported that a movement is on
fooT to institute a Limit Club in Co?

who pledge themselves to purchas*
during the year War Savings Stamps
to the amount of $1,000.

South Carolina Lags.
Charleston.?The official report Is
sued from Washington shows thar
of all the states in the Union, South
Csrolina ranks last and least in the
sales per capita of war saving!,
stamps. The South Carolina commit
tee is greatly disappointed at the poor
showing Which the. state has made up
to the n.d of February, and hopes
that the men, women, and children
of the* state will invest liberally and
steadily in stamps so that the stigma
may be removed from the state's
name.
-W. S. S.
Is Your Interest Patriotic?
Charleston.?"Invest Liverty Bond
Interest in War Savings stamps."
This is the request issued by the
South Carolina War Savings Commit
tee to government bondholders in this
state. This should also apply, the
state committee declares, to re-invest
ment of all securities' interest into
War Savings Stamps.
"Thousands of people own govern!
bonds in small denonijnations ant1
draw a few dollars in interest even
six months," the committee saw
"Why not re-invest these coupons
again in War Savings Stamps? The
interest of two or three dollars would
mean many thousands of dollars t<
the government, if this plan is fol
lowed."

Not a Bad Idea

OPEN FIREPLACE IS FRAUD
Almost Invarlsbly It Won't Draw and
If It Does Draw the Chances
Are Th.it It Won't Heat.
Thorn Is nothing that looks hotter
in n picture than an open fin-place.
The oM Dutch masters discovered that,
and wily craftsmen ever since have
used the knowledge. Witness tin? flour?
ishing modern school of commercial
Art. Tt's a poor phonograph that can't
he seen peeping out of the half light
thrown from a fireplace, with Its lucky
possessor lolling near by in an atti?
tude of ecstatic udoration. It's a poor
brand of sucks that can't he worn be?
fore the andirons, or of chocolates that
can't be munched by pretty girls In the
same effective setting. An open fire?
place has come to be one of the stock
properties for producing an effect of
cheerlness, and, indeed, the matinee
idol's heart-rending dilemma Is never
so heart-rending as when he tells his
bosom friend about it before a stage
fireplace, with the red Ineanrteseents
flickering realistically and the violins
sobbing a soft accompaniment.
But enough of that old hoar, says
the New Kim. The open fireplace Is a
fraud. Almost invurlably it won't
draw?Jack London, who, whatever
crabbed stylists might say of his writ?
ing, at least knew life out of doors,
made it the summit of achievement for
one who had gone back to the soil to
make a fl replace that wouldn't smoke.
And when It Joes draw It won't heat.
And If It does both, the chances are a
hundred to one there Isn't enough cord
wood in the whole neighborhood to
keep It going half a day. One of the
many comic sights to be seen in a su?
burban bungalow is a pyre of bits of
packing-case, small brunches of trees,
scraps of timber left by the builder
and such combustible'whatnot touched
off solemnly to show a helpless week
ender what >* real open fireplace Is
like.
Those who must burn wood to keep
warm don't do It so foolishly. A box
sUne of the old kind, that will hoftl
chunks two feet long, that has no
grate, but holds the embers glowing
redly about tlie fuel still burning, that
roars in a cheery crescendo as the
winds modnt outside, Is the proper
caper.
Throw open the swinging door. Was
there ever so brave a glare of livid
embers, pulstag with the breath of the
fire? A stet.k would and does broil
there in a ji Ty. Bread Is but passed
before It, and comes out toast. Pota?
toes bake nestling in Its bedded ashes,
tea water boils as if by magic. A
tiling of comfort that old box stove.
t m the \val behind it Is a nice, white
blank space that may suitably accom
I modate one cf those nice pictures of a
j fireplace.
Cleaning Rifle Barrels.
The best way to clean the barrel of
n rifle Is to get a ".pull-throueh." This
is a piece of cord which will pasri
through the barrel, with a weight at
I otic end, and two loops at the other,
in the loop nearer the weighted end
place a piece of oily rag, and draw
this through the rifle barrel until it is
clean. This is the method used In
the army. The following aro two easy
methods of cleaning guns and rifles:
If a muzzle-louder, stop up the nipple
or communication hole with a little
wax; or, if a breach-loader, Insert a
cork in the treech rather tightly; next
pour some quick-silver into the bar?
rel, and put another cork In the muz?
zle; then proceed to roll it up and
i down the barrel, shaking it about for
i a few minutes. The mercury and the
i lead will form an amalgam, aud leave
j the barrel as clean and free from lead
as the first day it came out of the
shop. The same quicksilver can be
Used repeatedly by straining it
through warn leather; for the lead
will be left behind In the leather, and
the quicksilver will be again fit for
use.
Mme. J off re.
All Parisians are familiar with the
small mansion occupied by Marshal

wives. Mine. .Joffre is animated, cheer*
ful, modest, industrious, possessed of
a sober elegance and an affection Cot
her home which makes her put it
above everything else. In the midst
: of celebrity she has always shunned
notoriety; and she sought refuge from
; the tributes won by her excellent
heart and illustrious name in work, in
the peaceful seclusion of the family.
It is said that the dream of the couple
is to buy, after the war is over, g mo?
tor houseboat, ami thus t*? cruise

beloved France to which the marshal
will have been the first to give the
assurance of victory.
