HEROIsM SAVES LIVES OF SIX.
Man Plunges into River With Tank of
Blazing Gasoline.

Norfolk, Sept. 24.-Plunging in
the river with a tank of gasoline
ablaze, Walter Moore, of Portsmouth,
thereby saved his own life and the
lives of six others who were in a
gasoline launch with him.
The party was cruising the river,
when one Of their number carelessly
threw lighted match on the tank
Of gasoline. Immediately the oil ad-
herring to the outside of the tank was
in blaze. Taking the tank from it's
fastenings, Moore sprang overheard
with it, and both he and the tank
disappeared beneath the water.
An instant later there was en- ex-
plosion. Water shot high In the air,
and those in the boat thought Moore
had sacrificed his life to save theirs,
but he had let go the tank an instant
before the explosion and was only
slightly stunned. He came to the
surface still able to swim and was
hauled aboard by those whose lives
he had saved.

"BIOODY MURRAIN,"
RED WATER OF CATTLE.
BY NJ. Ray Powers,
State Veterinarian.

Clemson College, Sept. 24.-Edi-
tor Keowee Courier: This disease
has existed In South Carolina for
several years, and even now causes
the annaul loss Of more cattle than
all other cattle diseases. AS far back
as the oldest Inhabitants can re-
member, it was known that cattle
from Northern States succumbed to
the disease when brought South. The
cause was then unknown, but the
deaths We're attributed to change of
climate and food. 1t has since been
shown, however, that these factors
had absolutely nothing to do with the
outbreaks, which were caused by the
"fever tick" After this discovery
the disease was called "tick fever"
and is now known by that name.
To persons who can remember
when every cow carried large num-
bers of ticks, and yet seemed in per-
feet health, this assertion seems false,
but the seeming contradiction can
easily be explained. Before the stock
law was passed, cattle ran at large,
and practically every animal was in
Tested with ticks. AS a result, the
young calves were llfested and suf-
fcred very mild attacks Of tick fever.
which rendered them immune for
life.
Calves and young cattle under
eighteen months Of age seldom sue
cumb to the disease-in fact, the at
tacks are usually overlooked, owing
to their mildness. This is also true
OF Northern calves, and If they are
imported before they reach the age
OF eighteen months, they usually sur
vive.
Since the passage of the stock law
most Of our plantations have become
free from ticks. and the cattle raised
thereon (never having been exposed
to the fever tick) are as susceptible
as Northern cattle.
4 typical example of this was seen
at Anderson in 1906, when over forty
head OF cattle died as a direct result
OF the importation of one ticky cow
from Georgia. This condition of
premises In our State accounts for the
severe annual loss due to the fever
tick, and shows the Importance and
necessity Of eradicating the pest from
our State.

It's pity when sick ones drug the
stomach or stimulate the heart and
kidneys. That Is all wrong! A
weak stomach means weak stomach
nerves, always. And this Is also true
Of the heart and kidneys. The weak
nerves are instead crying out for
help. This explains why DR.. Shoop's
Restorative is promptly helping sto-
mach, heart and kidney ailments.
The Restorative reaches out for the
actual cause Of these ailments-the
falling "inside nerves." Anyway test
the Restorative As hours. 1t won't
cure so soon as that, but you will
surely know that help is coming.
