For A Long Life.

Fresh air and exercise, with proper
food and a sufficient amount Of sleep
are the essentials.
Under such a regime Of living,
germs cannot develop and many dis
eases are prevented.
Should the system require a tonic
take only such as you know their in
gredients-such as Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the health
giving properties of the Gods livers
with all the useless grease eliminated
and tonic iron added, happily blend
ed in a mild, medicinal wine.
For this reason Vinol is regarded as
one Of the greatest body builders and
invigorators for aged people. 1t in
vigorates and builds them up and
keeps them up.
We sell Vinol with the understand
ing that if it does not give satisfaction
the price will be returned. De-

FIRE ON MAGNOLIA STREET.
Residence Of j. p. Commander Dam
aged by Fire Friday Morning.

The second fire on Magnolia street
within a space OF twelve hours oc-
Cured Friday about half past
ten O'Clock, the hose wagons being
called out to extinguish the fire
which they did before 1t had time to
burn through the roof Of the building.
The fire originated in the closet
next to the chimney in the living
room Of the house and burned its way
through the ceiling in which it was
smouldering when the hose wagon ar
rived. AS the fire had not yet burnt
through the roof the dense
smoke from the shingles and the
cracks in the walls made it appear as
If the whole body Of the house was
on fire.
Three streams Of water were turn
ed on the fire and it was extinguish-
ed in few minutes.
The damage, which amounted 70
several hundred dollars, was caused
as much by the water and the work
of the firemen in getting the fire un-
der control as by the fire itself. The
damage was fully covered BY insur-
ance.
All Of the furniture and fittings of
the house were removed and little
damage was done to them.

MADE INTO ALCOHOL,
Atlantic Coast Lumber Company of
Georgetown Turns Loss into Profit
by Converting Waste from Lumber
into Salable Commodity.

Special to The Daily Item.
Columbia, Dec. 10.-Turning an
actual deficit Of $50 a day into a profit
Of 800 a day Is the feat being accom-
plished by the Atlantic Coast Lumber
Company at Georgetown, the largest
single sawmll plant in the United
States. This Is being done by convert
Ing slabs and sawdust into wood alco-
hol. At first regarded as an expert
ment, officers OF the corporation now
realize that the plan is a success.
A year ago it cost this mammoth
company just $50 to dispose of the
waste material OF the mill. A $685.
100000 corporation though it is a
saving Of $50 day is a good sum. A
scheme was devised for converting
the slabs and sawdust into wood al
cohol. the legislature, by special act
permitted it's manufacture and the
Dupont Powder Company financed the
scheme. the proposition being that if
the inventor were successful in MAX
ing alcohol the company would re-
imburse. 1t now appears that the
huge concern is doing this thing. The
powder company needs a great deal
Of alcohol in the manufacture Of
dynamite and other explosives and
was quick to seize a proposition CAL
culated to lesson the cost Of raw ma
terials.
In addition to solving a problem for
the Atlantic Coast Lumber Company,
the invention Of a plan to take care
of the refuse will eventually revolu-
tionize the saw mill industry-or at
least give to the business a profit that
has heretofore been waste matter. The
experiment at Georgetown Therefore
is being watched with interest by
saw mill men everywhere.

japanese War Talk.

London. -Greard Fiennes, an
EnglisA naval expert, is irving his
best H5s-make Americans understand
that it probably will not be long
before they will have to fight Japan.
There are a hundred indications.
says he in an article just publishe
in the London Graphic. (which show
that collision between Japanese
and the United States is approaching.
The Americans live in q fools para
disc in this matter. The Japanese
are full of contempt for American
brsg and bunco, for the lack of
national spirit. or even Of true
nationality. They have profound
disbelief in the war worthiness Of the
American navy and an acute realiza-
tion OF the fact that the strategical
situation is overwhelmingly in their
favor.
1T is held that the Japanese are
too poor to fight. When will people
realize the fact which all history
teaches-that it is the poor nations
which fight? Japan is rich enough
to afford war, because. directly or
indirectly. she will make war pay for
itself. japan will fight very much
for the same reason that prompted
Bismark &c fight France. The war
will be for the concentration of the
yellow peoples The Chinese dislike
force but readily yield to the fear of
it. Japan has beaten the most
aggressive of the white powers
already; victorious over another. she
will appear to her huge neighbor
invineible.
Europe is not going to lift a
finger, l imagine. when war breaks
out between Japan and the United
States, to save the latter the islands
of which they deprived Spain. Europe
has a Monroe dostrine' of its own,
and it includes the determination to
let the United States stew in her
own juice.
