The boycott is a step forward in the
campaign for bakery-wrapped bread.
which is being waged by the women of

having bread clean and wholesome, the
women's clubs of Washington will de-
mand that the same sanitary provisions
be made in Washington as In a number
OF other large cities where regulations
are In operation forcing bakers to wrap
their bread before IL leaves the bakery.
While at first glance a boycott Of bread
appears to be rather difficult Of accom-
plishment. II is in reality not so. num-
Der OF prominent women have the plan
worked out. and all thai remains is for
the word to be given which will open
up the boycott in full force.
While the larger bakeries of the city
have plainly intimated to a committee

by Miss Georgia Robertson, that they

to wrapping their bread, quite a few

Dental sections. are willing to give the
proposed plan a fair trial. 1t is to these

bread, that the various clubs propose to
take their trade.
By purchasing bread from smaller
bakeries or making Il at home. as some
will, II IL believed that a large decrease
in the sales of the big bakeries can be
accomplished. This decrease will grow

An echo Of the speech delivered on
Tuesday by Representative Moore, of
Pennsylvania. was heard in the House
yesterday when Representative Helm,
Of Kentucky. chairman OF the Commit
tee on Expenditures in the War De-
partment, declared that an enemy NOV
ing on Washington could reach the
Treasury Department easily.
Representative Helm was arguing
the Hay bill. providing for the chang
ing of Fort Oglethorp into a brigade
post. He spoke of the lack OF accurate
information concerning the strength
of the fortifications near the mouth OF
the Chesapeake Bay.
And as IL is" he added. we leave
the very vitaIs and heart OF the nation
open TO an enemy. II would be possible
to-day for an invader to enter Chesa-
peake Bay and seize the United States
Treasury"
The bill, which marks a distinct
change in army concentration policy,
passed the House.

CAUCUS ON SUGAR TARIFF.
Democrats VIII Decide on Reduce
tion Next Friday.

The Democrats of the House will meet
in caucus tomorrow afternoon at :
o'clock to pass upon the bill revising the
sugar schedule. upon which the majority
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee have finally reached agreement.
This sugar schedule has given Chair
man Underwood and his party cohorts
more trouble than all the rest of the
schedules put together. There was par
ticularly strong sentiment for free sugar,
which probably would have prevailed IL
any possible way of making up the $50
100000 of revenue thus cut of from the
Treasury could have been found.
For the last couple OF weeks the COM
mittee has been considering the reduc-
tion Of the customs duty on sugar from
Sl.s5 to 50 cents per 100 pounds and the
imposition of a manufacturers tax Of
about half a cent pound.

Card From Clerk Shealy.

To the Voters of Lexington County:
AS the election day draws near there
are always many campaign stories set
af1oat throughout the county. This
summer they are very numerous; ard
many of them are false from their be-
ginning. Agreat number has been di-
rected against me for the sole purpose
of carrying points, places, and intliYid-
uals In the coming election. l take
this means Of warning my friends to
be on their guard, and take no notice
of such false and slanderous reports.
My public and private record is be-
fore the people, and am quite willing
to stand upon it. All charges that l
have made are founded upon fact, and
I defy contradiction.
The proficiency of the work done
during my administration as Clerk OF
the Court has never been questioned,
even by my political enemies; and ev-
eryone who has had work done with
me knows that have saved great
amount of money to the public by re-
ducing the fees.
During this campaign, as in all pre-
vious ones made by me, have endea.
vored to conduct q clean campaign
using only such matter as the records
themselves will bear me out. 1t has
never been my policy to use fimsy
and slanderous material to win votes
or nomination.
Idesire here to publicly thank my
friends for their past support, person
ally and politically, and I promise
here and now faithful performance
of every duty devolving upon me.
Very sincerely yours,
Frank w. Shealy.

Besides, it costs more to get mad

own, control or have any interest in
any stock in your bank at all. The

have long since sold, and the DR..
Kaufman stock which I bought for
another party, I have no idea who
owns it today. Any statement that l
am the owner of said stock is untrue.
hope this statement will correct
the rumor,
