ODD CURE FOR RHEUMATISM Might Have Been Effective In 1742, but One Would Heeitate to Recommend It. Rheumatism Is associated with a greater number of superstitions than any other complaint. In Holland there are people who believe that a potato begged or stolen Is an effective preventive, while chestnuts are said to possess the same efficacy. In the Midlands of England the right forefoot of a hare, carrted In the pocket. Is regarded as a fine amulet, and the Cornish villager Is apt to put his trust In a piece of the wood of the mountain ash. Perhaps the strangest "cure" for rheumatism is that which Is to be found In the "Compleat Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman's Companion"?u work published In 1742: "Let the party take of the finest ? glazed gunpowder as much as a large thimble may hold; wet It In a spoon with milk from the cow, and drink a good half-pint of warm milk after It; be covered warm In bed and sweat: give It faRtlng about seven In the morning, and take this nine or. ten mornings together."

Postmaster General Work has two choice specimens of typographical errors which he keeps on his desk handy to show to (he discriminating. Like most everybody else In the world. Doctor Work appreciates that sort of thing. Itoth of these "bulls" occurred In connection with printed portraits of Doctor Work when he was appointed to the highest position In the postal service. One of them hears the title: "Dr. Herbert Work, physician to the pope. Was with the late pope In his Inst Illness." Evidently the Inscriptions of the two photographs got mixed up, and nohody caught the error, on account of the title of doctor of both physicians. The other sample was a picture of the postmaster general, and an Inscription which should have read: "Colorado Man Appointed Postmaster General." But it got In like this: "Colored Man Appointed Postmaster General." One Last Request. Thev were silllnir elrmo tnirpUmr ?na suddenly, unnhle to resist the temptation, lie kissed her.

Qln vuNued In bootleg circles at $3,000,000 was relmported from Cuba about two weeks ago. The distillery which made the shipment had gone out of business, a fact that apparently was not discovered by the government agents until the gin had arrived here. A special permit had to he obtained from Washington before it could be stored in a local warehouse, pending Its withdrawal for medicinal purposes on permltR from the director's office. Prohibition agents were mystified In checking up the cargo to note on the manifest 112 empty barrels. They have not yet been able to make out the reason for the empties, but Federal Prohibition Director Ralph A. l>ay regarded It as a suspicious cin cum stance. The passage of the Willis-Campbell law, ostensibly for the purpose of kill- | lag medicinal beer, has made It possible for the thirsty to be supplied with good liquors for a much longer period than appeared likely before the measure was adopted, prohibition officials said. In some quarters the provision for the reimport of liquors was considered as a "Joker." Storad In Othsr Countries. The law provided "that the commissioner may authorize the return to the United States, under such regulations and conditions as he may prescribe, any distilled spirits of American production exported free of tax and relmported in original packages In which exported and consigned for redeposlt In the distillery bonded warehouse from which originally removed." Liquors have been stored In France - - - nna otner countries in large quant I ties, according to Mr. Appleby. The prohibition department plans to scrutinise carefully the applications for permits to reimport. What Is regarded as another "Joker" In the supplemental law Is the provision which exempts payment of tax and penalty for distilled spirits upon which the tax has not been paid which are "lost by theft, accidental fire or other casualty while In posses- 1 slon of a common carrier subject to the transportation act of 1920 or the merchant marine act, 1920, or if lost by theft from a distillery or other hnniloH ?i-ohnn?o " Her Diplomacy.

St. Clair Washington, May 24.?Representaive Stevenson the other day injected t little tariff speech into the house on he rivers and harbors bill that touchid the skin of some^Republicans like t fire brand. Representative Phil Campbell of Kansas sought to interrupt but the incisive South Carolinian :ut him short for he was determined ;o drive home his point without hinIrance. Mr. Stevenson attacked the pending tariff bill in the Senate from a new, most vulnerable angle, that is what is known as the drawback provision of khp Kill Ponnoio 11 ?r a o it- ? ~1.. f * ...w mrmmm ^u^WtMUJ ?0 IV 1C10VC3 tU wheat, long staple cotton, lumber and other materials imported from abroad, manufactured in this country and sold abroad. He showed that the tariff paid on these imported materials and then refunded on the production made from them and exported abroad was not a protection but a sheer fraud on the farmers and the American consumers. Mr. Stevenson's remark* on the tariff on long staple cotton as provided in the emergency tariff act and reembodied in the pending bill gives to the long staple cotton growers no protection as statistics show. This part of his speech is of especial interest to the people of his district. It is quoted as follows: "You put a tariff on long staple cotton and they are maintaing it. What about that? Practically all of the products of long staple cotton arc exported, except in sewing thread. They are spinning it down in my district. There are mills there that do not spin anything else. They are paying $3 a bale import tax on cotton; they spin it and export the goods and get $31.50 back. Let me show you what effect it had on the long staple col ton importations to this country. During the first cigh: months of the cotton year of 1921?that is from August to April, and that was just before the emergency tariff went into effect?we imported of Egyptian cotton 70,145 bales. During the first eight months of this cotton year, during those corresponding months under a 7 cents a pound tariff, we imported 214,071 bales. What effect did it have? Is that the direct result of your 7 cents tariff? Yet we have that and we have ?i- 1 wm umivum-h, unu it is art illustration of the fraud that you perpetrate on the farmer when you try to fool him into believing that a protective tariff on cotton or a protective tariff on wheat the surplus of which goes abroad for sale is something to raise the price to him". Another feature of the drawback provision relates to lumber imported from abroad in the construtcion of ships in American yards, the ships being sold to foreigners. On this feature Mr. Stevenson said: "They are asking us for a ship subsidy here in order that we may build up ships that can compete with the ships of the world, and yet they are carrying in this very bill a provision that our manufacturers when they manufacture for the foreign shipowner shall have an advantage of the tariff on the imported materials over the man who is manufacturing a ship fnr tha hnma T? .'* vow ?iviMv oiu|jun uci XII UtllUt words, if there is $100,000 of tariff paid on the materials that go into a ship, the steel, the lumber, the other materials, the machinery, the engine, and so forth, if the ship is sold to a foreign purchaser, the manfacturer can get the drawback, but if the manufacturer sells it to our great merchant fieet that they are expecting us tq tax our constituents to build up, they cannot get any drawback. Therefore, we have to tax our people more to pay heavier overhead charges because of the original cost of our ships. Is that dealing squarely with CLEfi SOUTH CAROLINA'S REGULAR FOUR-YEAR COURSES AGRICULTURE Agronomy Animal Husbandry Agricultural Teaching Agricultural Chemistry Dairying Entomology Horticulture ENGINEERING Civil Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Textile Engineering Agriculture Chemical Engineering Industrial Education i~nE.mi9iKT Anu UbNEKAL SCIENCE Chemistry General Science ^HORT COURSES Agriculture (1 year) Agriculture (2 years) Mechanical Arts (2 years) Mechanic Arts (2 years) Textile Industry (2 years) SUM!

DAMAGE BY HAIL NEAR PATRICK I " l'atrick, May 22.?This vicinity was visited by a severe hailstorm about noon last Thursday and considerable damage is reported to crops, especially cotton. The most damage seems to have been to the earlier cotton which had been brought to a stand. Some farmers have planted over and some are considering planting other , crops, as the cotton was practically all destroyed.
