C. -lew man, head of the Horticultural Division, have perfected a method of peeling peaches by chemical process at a great saving of time, labor, und fruit* Ordinary caustic soda, commonly called lyc, is used, preferably that sold under the brand of "Greenback Alkali." _ Use a three per cent, solution (1 I (>Und of KOrla to 4 rrnllona nf wotar^ heat to 90 or 95 degrees centigrade. Dip the unwashed fruit into thi: and allow to remain one to two min utes, until the skin scales off freely. Wash the fruit well in three waterr to rer.'.ove loose peeling and all trace of sada. Equipment, even for a commercia cannery, is not expensive. For use in the home in canning or otherwise p pre3ervig peaches the process is easily p applicable. An ordinary porcelain lined pre ser. :ng kettle makes an excellent vat for the solution. A wooden vessel may be used, but not metal vessels which would be corroded by the caus tic soda. A wire horse muzzle, o so.nothing similar, may be used foi a dipping basket for scalding and foi washing the three waters nft??r annl.l ing. In this way the fruit need not be touched by hand after scaldinp until completely washed. A 12-gnllon solution will dip 5( bushels of peaches. The fruit retains all its original j flavo * and firmness. A carefull chemical analysis shows] ^ no trace of anything harmful. Soft ripe fruit can be peeled a; | effectively as firm fruit; and small] or irregular fruit as readily as the better specimems. A bushel of peaches peeled by this chemical process will fill 52 quarts, or six quarts more than a bushel peeled by mechanical methods. Write to the Horticultural Division, Clemson College, S. C., for Bulletin No. 19G, "A chemical Process of Peeling Peaches." It will be ready for distribution \v*ithin the week. i i _ FORCE TO T!

Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing freezone, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so it lifts out with the fingers. A quarter on an ounce costs very little at any drug store which handles drugs, but this is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet of every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply just a few drops on the tender, aching com or toughened callus and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn or callus is so shriveled that it lifts out without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the surrounding skin. This discovery will prevent thousands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore Resulting from the suicidal habit of cutting M onraa A J- 1 H /1UV. u. ! j ' H/purina "LCKIXJ IPURINAfl g chick^_^CHKK V Um iW two feeda and wa wi guarantee DOUBLE DEVELOPMENT during the fw* aa warlu oI a diicb Me of MONEY BACK It pax* ta aaa lha baar teede?Punaa Said ia Cltatktrbatd Baca bv FARM ELL MEEMAN ??a?M ' m GOODS AND SERVICES By Dwight W.

The government must be supplied with money to pay q for the goods and services it needs. " But the only way the government can get the goods that it needs is by getting the people to do without those goods and services.

Vhat the government wants from hose men who go to France is a ervice; what the government wants :Ypm the man who works in a muni- m ion factory, of the man who works V1 n a copper mine, of the man who VC uns a railroad is service. 6j Nov/, if the government needs not hi nerely money but goods and ser- m /ices, and if the needed goods and services are limited in amount, obiously the government is virtually in st erested in having the people free as ui nany goods and services as possible in order that the government may or :ommand those goods and services, w there are only two ways in which vl he government can get what it needs '8 o prosecute the war successfully?

As Lord Kitchen;r put it: "Either the civilian popu- ^ ation must go short of many things h o which it is accustomed in times of eace or our armies must go short q, >f munitions and other things indis- gt sensible to them." If you invest in government securities, such as War to Savings Stamps the government wi'i al hus get the things it needs to fight w he war. And you will save money in ;t a good rate of interest.

Rossville, Oa.?Mrs. Kate Lee Able, of is place, writes: "My husband is an igineer, and once while lifting, he inred himself with a piece of heavy matinery, across the abdomen. He was i sore he could not bear to press on mself at all, on chest or abdomen. He eighed 165 lbs., and fell off until he eighed 110 lbs., in two weeks. He became constipated and it looked ce he would dia. We had three different xtors, yet with all their medicine, his jwels failed to act. He would turn up ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink two or three days in succession. He id this yet without result. We became csperate, he suffered so. He was swoln terribly. He told me his suffering }uld only be described as torture. I sent and bought Thedford's Black raught. 1 made him take a big dose, nd when it began to act he fainted, he ras in such misery, but he got relief and egan to mend at once. He got well, nd we both feel he owes his tlife to Bedford's Black-Draught." Thedford's Black-Draught will help you > keep fit, ready for the day's work. Vy lit NC-131, ^ ? an i QerQiany, who signed the conventions ' j of the second peace conference at The | Hague, 1007, pledged themselves to the following: "Article L. No general penalty, pecuniary or otherwise, shnll be Inflicted upon the population on account of the acts of Individuals for which they can- . not be regarded as jointly and several- ' shall be committed by the Inhabitants uguinst our troops will be burned. j "For all destruction of rouds, railways, bridges, etc., the villages In the neighborhood of tho destruction will be held responsible. "The punishments announced above will be carried out severely and without mercy. The whole community will he held responsible. Hostages will be taken In large numbers. The J heaviest war tuxes will be levied." At the end of the "Appeal to Truth" Curdlnul Mercler suys: "But we cannot suy nil here, nor [ quote all. "If, however, our readers wish for J the proof of the accusations ... we shall be glad to furnish them. | There Is not In our letter, nor In Uie four annexes [to the "Appeal to Truth], one allegation of which we , have not the proofs In our records." j SUGAR FOR CANNING AND PRESERVING FRUITS AND VEGETABLES Columbia, June 21.?Under new sugar regulations recently announc-| ed, limiting purchases of sugar fori household use to two pounds to individuals residing in cities and towns ind to five pound to individuals residing in rural sections, sugar can be secured for canning and preserving fruits and vegetables upon the signing of certificates which dealers throughout the State are furnished by the Food Administration. For canning and preserving purposes twenty-five pounds of sugar per month can be obtained by any person but the sugar must be used for this purpose only, and the person obtaining it will be required to sign aj pledge to return to the dealer any, sugar so bought and not used forj canning and preserving. It is regarded as important by the Food Administration that as much perishable food products as possible be canned this summer, not so much for market as for home use next win-, ter. Conservation of sugar must necessarily be practised, but provision has been made to provide sugar for canning and preserving purposes in order that a great waste of perishable food products may be avoided. Nothing that can be saved should be al lowed to go to waste. < Every household is urged to put up at least a few cans and jars of fruits and vegetables. TOUGH TO BE BUMBED "The war is producing a slang all its own," writes a Y. M. C. A. secretary overseas. "In England, for example when you hear that a ship was bumhed you know it was torpedoed." No. 666 This la a prescription prepared especially for MALARIA or CHILLS & FEVER. Five or six doses will break any ease, and If taken then as a tonic the Fever wHI not return. It acta on the liver better tbn Calomel and does not tripe or aickaa. 2- i ( iy responsioie." "Article LII. Requisitions In kind and services shall not be demanded from municipalities or Inhabitants except for the needs of the army of occupation. They shall be in proportion ? to the resources of the country, and of such a nature as not to Involve the inhabitants in the obligation of tnklng 1 part In military operations against their own country." The German authorities hove violated these articles from the very beginning. As soon as they Invaded Belglum, heavy fines were laid upon Individual communities as reprisals for < some act against the German army or i Its regulations which wus committed ( within their boundaries. In "An Appeal to Truth" Cardinal Mercler cite* i the following cases: ' "Mullnes, a working-class towu, 1 without resources, has had u fine of 1 20,000 marks Inflicted on It because the burgomaster did not Inform the mintnrv onthnrlfv o <nni.nn.? ^ tV* U JUUI IIVJ V> Ultll the cardinal, deprived of the use of his | niotorcur, had been obliged to make on foot. In fact, upon the flimsiest pretexts heavy fines are Inflicted on communes. The commune of I'uers wus subjected to a flue of 3,000 murks because a telegraph wire was broken, although the Inquiry showed that It had given way through weur." Merciless Exactions. In addition to such arbitrary, sporadic exactions. In December, 1914, the Germans demanded 40,000,000 francs ($8,000,000), n month to be puld by the Belglun provinces Jointly. Concerning this enormous Imposition 1 Cardinal Mercler says, In the "Appeal to Truth "Now, In December, 1914, Belgium ! was devastated. Contributions of war Imposed on the towns and Innumerable requisitions in kind had exhausted her. The greater purt of the fuctorles were mm, unu in inose wmcn were still ut work, ruw materials were, contrury to all law, being freely commundeered. "It whs on this impoverished Belglum, living on foreign charity, that n contribution of nearly fiOO.OOO.OOO francs was Imposed." The German military rules have also made the families responsible for acts committed by or charged ugulnst members as is shown In the following examples, which are quoted from the "Appeal to Truth, cited above: "The Belgian government huve sent orders to rejoin the army to the militiamen of several classes. . . . All those who receive these orders ure strictly forbidden to act upon them. . . . In cuse of disobedience the family of the mllltiainan will be held , equally responsible."

Conspicuous among cold-blooded lets of cruelty committed by the Oermhns, to their everlasting disgrace, the deportation from Mons is j prominent. Official documents published by the committee on public information tell part of the harrowing story. A vivid sketch of the deportutlons from Mons, ordered by Gerniun author- > Itles, drawn by u participant, limy well be cited here: "I will take the 18th of November of last year [19115].
