Manning expressing their readiness to do their part and I naming the three methods by which they propose to begin immediate pre- < paredness measures. In replying the 1 governor thanked the league for its j prompt steps. < The two letters, the suffrage board's < and the governor's answer, follow: "To the Governor of South Carolina: 1 "We hope and pray that our coun- < try will not be drawn into the hor- | rors of war, thus bringing upon our State the sorrows and evils of conflict. But if war does come, we offer our devoted service, and in so far as we are authorized, the services of our ? members, to the governor of our State to be used for State or nation, fn the present European war, woman's industry and ability have proved ( to be one of the nation's greatest re- : sources.

The trouble with most thin folks who wish to gain weight is that they insist on drugging their stomach or stuffing it with greasy foods, rubbing on useless "flesh creams," or following some foolish physical culture stunt, while the real cause of thinness goes untouched. You cannot get fat until your digestive tract properly assimilates the food you eat. Drink a glass of cold water four or five times a day and take the following preparation known to reliable druggists almost everywhere, which seemingly embodies i in.- iiii.-s.-uiiK neiiifiiis neeueu oy inc digestive organs to help them convert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This preparation is called tonoline, and much remarkable testimony is ^iven as to its successful use in flesh build- , intr. Tonoline which conies in the form ' of a small non-injurious tablet, taken at meals and mixed with the di^estinj* food, tends to prepare fat, flesh and muscle building elements so that the blood can readily accept and carry them to the starved portion of the I>ody. You can readily picture the transformation that additional and previously lacking flesh making mal -rial should bring to your cheeks, fill i g out hollows ,il)out your neck, sin .1hers and bust disappearing, and your t tkiner on from 11 to 30 pounds of solid healthy flesh. Tonoline is harmloss, inexpensive, efficient. Glymph's Pharmacy has it and is authorized to "fund your money if weight increase is not obtained as per the guarantee found in each large package. Caution: ? Tonoline is recommended I only a.s a flesh builder and while ex- ! cellent results in cases of nervous in- | digestion, etc., have been reported, care *! should be taken about using it unless ' a gain of weight is desired. 10-3 DAUGHTERS OFFER FOR SERVICE FOR WAR Daughters: Knowing that each of pou would approve the action of your president at this time, when the international affairs seem so unsettled, [ wrote to Governor Manning the folowing letter: 'Excellency R.
