The cages at Ibis camp were re? markably elean, being in the best con? dition of any we have seen. The foromaa had a pile of (dean blankets neatly stacked, and | supply of clean ticks for beds, thus enabling him 10 give each new convict (dean bedding. His general attitude toward cleanli Reef, in his camp is to be commeml ? d. One feature of the camp that makes a bad impression on the visi? tor going through it is the kitchen I it, which looks very dirty and grimy. It i* cleaner than it looks, but it is dark inside, and the walls' are badly smoked. We recommend that the Commis? sioners and the Supveisor have the kitchen car painted inside, and the window screen repaired as now need? ed; that they provide some sort of shelter for the mules; that they haw the county physician make a physical examination of each convict within 24 hours of his commitment, to vaccinate against small-pox when indicated, and to make weekly inspections of the prisoners' food, quarters, and the san? itary arrangements of the camp. We further recommend that the Super? visor obey the law which requires that convicts deserving it be given one-tenth off their sentences for good behavior, on all sentences six months or OVer in length, life sentence ?x cepted. ^ We recommend that the foreman improve his already good record by burning the pit used for sewerage dis? posal out with straw and oil every WOOh; that hO have the manure in the mule lot piled up in a bin daily, and baV Od away from camp regularly SV cry week; that he add to his records of the convicts their age and raoe, ami the date of their discharge. Finally. WS recommend that the filthy prac? tice of allowing more than one man to htthe In the same water be stop? ped immediately. Men who have WOrhOd in dirt and mud n'l waek on lhe road should certainly have I clean tub of water for their weekly bath ami in addition the habit of allowing two Of more to use the same water increases the danger of <lisea.se amom tho men. many of whom from time to tn.io have dlOOaOOl which can hi ?Dread by this sort of bathing. 1'uttiug these recommendations into t if eel will improve the living condi? tions of the no n and guards, and at the same time raise the score of tin e.ang upon next inspection.

How Much May a Housewife Can? in view of war-time conditions the canning season present! the problem of how much fruit and how many vegetables can be prepared for future, use without overstepping the regula? tions governing the use of sugar or the conservation of food. "May the housewife put up an un? limited supply of canned goods and not be accused of hoarding?" In re? sponse to the question John R Munn, . hi< f of the Canned Goods Division, United States Food Administration, said: "The food administration urges the canning of foodstuffs in the home to the limit of home consumption. "If It is desirable to put up more than one year's supply, the foud ad? ministration can have no objection, but cautions the canner that there may be spoilage and loss if the pre? served foods have to be held over a long period. "It is not economical for the can? ner to have the idea of disposing of any surplus through commercial chan n< Is, out the food administration does urge in the season of, produc? tion tho preserving of as much food as possible for home consumption." The election law of South Carolina requires that all voters shall register and obtain a certificate every tenth year. This is the regular year for general registration and citizens who wish to vote may obtain certificates during the months of July and Aug? ust. The Supervisors lof Registration will be, |n their office in the Court House every day during those months. The poeseesion of s certificate issued prior to June :?0.
