May this year be full of joy for you all We say this, knowing full well that into some of your lives some sorrow must fall ere the year grows old; but may such sorrow as must come be bravely and even joyously borne! In the lanKuajrc of Tiny Tim. "God bless us everyone!" AN IMPORTANT ADMISSION Once in a while we tfet a glimpse of true conditions in Germany from the inside, as an offset to the bluff, and brajr and bluster of the Kaiser. In the speech of Admiral von Tirpits before the Hamburg branch of the Fatherland party he said: "Up to the present Great Britain has won rather than lost." DEVELOPMENT OF NAVIGABLE STREAMS Senator Shield's bill for development of water power prospects on n.ivsiruanis mat iaiica in trie List Congress has been passed by the Senate. President Wilson favored the measure and recommended that it be passed before the adjournment of Congress for the holidays. A system of fifty-year permits is provided to encourage private concerns to make expenditures for dams on Navigable streams for development purposes. The bill of the Tennessee Senator is one of the most importance and most beneficial to the South and to the whole Country of any legislation that has been enacted. Railroads are congested with freight and traffic and the need of cheaper and more f uul. 1 ties in transportation will be met by the development of the now unused water power of our rivers. A man has been found in Pennsylvania who claims not to have heard that the Country is in war with (icrmany. He is probably related to that family that is said to be voting for Andrew Jackson as President. Senator Kenyan, of Iowa, is evidently a brave man. He has introduced a bill in Congress to cut the pay of ('.onjjros -nan and Senators 1 from $7,.">00 to $".,000. 1 BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S i 1 NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS-!

GULLEDGE. 44-p SHUCKS WANTED Wanted?Somo Shucks. Write t*? J. T. WALLACE, At Chesterfield, S. C., R 4 i SAVE WHEAT, MEAT AND SWEETS, SAYS MANNING To the People of South Carolina: I desire to appeal to the people South Carolina to lay down themselves certain definite and specific days on which we will save flour, meat, sugar, and fats. I Our National Government has come to us asking for the performance of a specific duty. We are asked to sav? meat, fllonr miraf fats. 1 urge our people to adopt the following program: To use no beef, pork or mutton on Tuesdays. On a basis of 7 ounces per person, this will save 700,000 pounds of beef, pork, and mutton per week, or save enough meat to feed all of the South Carolina soldiers in the army.* To use no wheat on Wednesdays. This will save about two million dollars a year, and would supply our South Carolina soldiers in the army. America uses now one hundred million barrels of flour. This must be cut down to seventy-five million barrels. To use no hog meat on Thursdays. This will save about 700,000 pounds, or enough bacon and ham to feed our South Carolina soldiers in the army. To use no cake or sweet desserts on at least two days in each week. We can use poultry, fish and vegetables. We can have them in abund r/. - 1 unci' ii we win raise them. We should save fats by broiling, , boiling and baking instead of frying. No family is asked to stint, but to save and avoid extravagance and waste. Elaborate meals should not be permitted. Use no beef, pork, or mutton on Tuesdays, no wheat on Wednesdays, and no hog meat on Thursdays. The saving of food is a war measure. If our army is to be fed we must meet the very reasonable demands of the Food Administration. The sacrifice asked at our tables is a small one compared to the price our soldiers stand ready to pay in blood. Remember the women and children of France have not tasted sugar during the past seven months, end in many towns and provinces IllOllt. iv illlnUMwl linl" .nn .. vu W.I.J V ?T IV V a wcti\. President Wilson and Mr. Hoover ur^e these requests upon our people as voluntary acts. I am confident that Sou h Carolinians, red-blooded and patriotic, realizing that American freedom, liberty, justice, and honor are at stake, will respond to this call and will do our part to win the war. RICHARD I. MANNING. Governor. GLAD TOTESTIFY Says Watoga Lady, "As To What Cardui Has Done For Me, So 1 As To Help Others." I i Watoga, W. Va ?Mrs. S. W. Gladwell,' of this town, says: "When about 15 years ! I af age, I suffered greatly . . . Sometimes 3 would {;o a month or two, and I had crrible headache, backache, and bearing- ~ iown pains, and would just drag and iiad no appetite. 1 hen ... it would last two W^At/C and utoe cr\ luanOn-lMi* . ?%i v* TVOO ov nrvaivtiuu^ !nd my health was awful.

Begin taking Cardui today. It may be the very medicine you need. NC-130 ASHCRAFT-S Condition Powderj hinli 1 - r -- w.fc..T,iu.i3 icmcuy ior norrft.* iu!
