for Less Work-Situation Critical.
The farmers of the Sea Island cot.
ton belt, irrespective of any particu.
lar locality, seem to be cup against
1t" good and hard this season, Not
withstanding that the crop is reported
10 be anywhere from % to 33 l.3 per
cent short throughout the belt the
matter OF gathering that of the plant
which did mature Is proving difficult
problem, according to the report Of
a number Of growers.
Owing to the numerous naval stores
and lumber plants i'm operation
throughout this section of the coun.
try, all clamoring for labor and paying
good wages, 1t has been problem
to secure pickers, and It was reported
here Wednesday that growers are
offering from $l,25 to Sl,75 per hun.
dred pounds for gathering the staple,
and labor Is scarce at that. I'm former
years pickers have been accustomed
to receive an average of seventy.five
cents per hundred for their labor, last
year the price going to 81, and in some
very unusual instances 1925 per
hundred.
This condition Of affairs Is laid
at the doors of the mill men and tur.
pentine operators, as the growers de.
clare they are responsible. However,
these men are not TO blame, as they
are as badly In need OF help as the
cotton grower.
There should be no scarcity Of pick.
ers at the figures offered. however. as
women and children, who are unfit
for mill and turpentine work, make
admirable cotton pickers. Neverthe.
less, It is the case that pickers are
in demand, the staple In many in.
stances is rusting and rotting I'm the
boil. and the situation at present
looks anything but favorable.

How to Cure a Torpid Liver.

The only salvation for the person
with a torpid liver is through n
changed system of dietetics. combined
with exercise In the outdoor air, calls
themes and deep breathing. The per.
son with bad liver should habitually
practice deep and long breathing, fll.
ing the lungs at each inhalation. The
curative dietary must consist princi.
pally of nerve and brain food. includ.
ing fish and a reasonable amount OF
beef. with generous quantities of cereal
foods and the fruits that are rich in
acids. In warm weather 1t is best to
abstain from milk altogether. Butter
and vegetable fats, olive oil. boiled
rice, baked apples. baked potatoes
graham or whole wheat bread. soft
boiled eggs. all constitute a safe and
nourishing diet for the bilious person
At the first symptom of biliousness
squeeze the juice of half lemon in
the water you drink just before break
fast and before going to bed at night

An Attractive Calendar.

AS the holiday season approaches al
most all other work Is laid aside that
one may devote all her time to making
suitable gifts.
A dainty calendar Is always useful
and acceptable, and there are number
of attractive designs for this season.
One is oval in shape and made Of
linen in dull green or blue shade and
mounted on an oval cardboard mat
1T has design Of dogwood embroid-
cred entirely around 1t In white, or
small white flowers Of any sort can
be used. After the embroidery Is fin
ished and pressed it Is mounted very
carefully and neatly on the oval mat
and the edges are turned over and fas-
tened on the back with good library
paste.
This Is covered with another card
oval, which has ring attached.
Two pieces Of ribbon the color of
the linen used or Of white are caught
between the two pieces Of cardboard
and tied in a graceful bow, by which
1t can hang. The small calendar Is
fastened on the front. This will also
be attractive made Of white lawn en-
bcoidery in wild roses or buttercups
and mounted over an oval card COW
cred with pink or yellow silk and tied
with pink or yellow ribbon.

How TO Treat Weak Ankles.

It Is not 80 easy to see why so many
people have weak ankles. The ankles
Of young children bend in when they
walk, and parents, thinking they will
outgrow this trouble, pay no attention
to 1T. The consequence is that the
turning In becomes a habit which Is
not corrected In later life. Little chill
dren should have the ankles rubbed
with alcohol If they show any signs of
weakness. Young children ought to
wear shoes without heels, and the con-
dition Of the shoes worn by older ones
should be watched carefully. When
the heel is worn down on one side, the
ankle naturally turns down on that
side. Carelessness in the fit of shoes
and the wearing of shoes that are
worn ON one side will cause the ankles
to turn and the walking to be tiresome
and awkward When the ankles bend
either in or out when walking, 1t Is a
good plan to have the heels lowered y
bit on the opposite side. In the same
way habit Of turning the heels over
on one side can be counteracted by
lowering them on the other. Bend the
foot backward, forward, sideways. Ro-
tate 1t slowly at the ankle. Stand on
one foot, shake the other leg from the
thigh, letting the ankle Of the foot be
perfectly loose. SO that the foot moves
freely.

A Useful Gift.

A useful gift that will be acceptable
to women, especially when travelling,
is the little linen case for covering
powder leaf books. 1t may be made
from a small dolly hemstitched or but
tonholed on its edges. Just fold it
book fashion and on one cover work
an initial, on the other a tiny spray
of flowers. Catch the book and covers
together with ribbon, then add narrow
ribbon ties. This little case will wash
well, and new books may be readily
Enclosed as necessary.

TO PREVENT SKlDDING.
How to Manage an Auto on a Slip.
perry Road.

How to Manage an Auto on a Slip
perry Road.
The ordinary small skid on slip
perry road may be overcome by turn
ing the steering wheels In the opposite
direction to that which the real wheels
are trying to follow and then, as the
car straightens up and starts to skid
the other way, swinging them back
again, continuing this until the ma,
chine steadies itself.
Except the skids which sometimes
occur in descending steep hill on
muddy roads, those which most often
happen occur on city streets after rain
or the passage of sprinkling cart
when attempting to turn u corner or
when the brakes are applied.
What the results will be cannot be
foretold, says writer in Suburban
Life 1t is usually advisable to take Il
chance In shaving close to other vehi-
cles rather than to take the risk Of
applying the brakes hard on slippery
roads.
The side slip happens SO quickly that
the operator scarcely knows 1t has
started before the car is turned half
way around or is oven headed in the
opposite direction to that in which Il
was going. A car can be stopped
without causing it, to skid by applying
the brakes quickly, releasing them and
applying them again, overcoming each
small skid with the steering wheel
Often where the service brakes are
on the hubs it Is advisable to use the
lower speed gears as u brake, as the
action on the rear wheels will then be
about the same. With hub brakes one
may be set tighter than the other, and
when these are applied the car will al
most invariably skid to one side or the
other
The best method is to go straight
ahead as far rs possible, gradually
slackening the speed of the car and
avoiding sharp swerves right or left
or turning any corners. Ordinarily the
car will not skid, even at high speed,
on q slippery road SO long as straight
course Is followed, but the moment q
turn Is attempted or the brakes are
applied the trouble begins.

THE FUNNY SIDE. OF N. o.
Politics In City DEP artments-A Queer
Velocity Poles Downed.


Public Service is not a humorous
publication, but there were some fun
ny items In it's December issue. Com
menting on the proposition of the
Business Mems club of Cincinnati that
civil service rules should be introduced
into the municipal department. Mr..
Miller, member OF the board of pub
lie service. Is quoted as saying, 81
think the first requisite for a good
official Is that he should be good
Democrat" ...
The mayor of Bluffton, Ind, Is more
subtly humorous. He advocates mu-
nicipal ownership as an antidote for
monopoly and then vetoes a fran
chise for gas plant because 1t would
compete with the municipal electric
light works and probably would re-
duce the clty's $4,000 plant to mass
OF junk" This Is rather more than q
tacit admission that the consumers are
paying through the nose.
But the funniest thing of all is that
some of the citizens of Chicago had to
go to law to compel the city electrical
department to obey Its own laws. Be
cause such construction Is much cheap
er this department undertook to erect
poles in district where the ordinances
require wires to be placed under
ground The citizens appealed to the
department to protect them from what
they assumed to be the intrusion of q
private company, Instead Of being al
Iayed their Indignation was rather In
creased when they learned their mis-
take. and they did not stop until the
city council passed an ordinance re-
curing the removal Of the poles.
