SOUTH AMERICA SUFFERS
FROM WAR
(By Associated Press.)

MANTIVEDIO, Uruguay, Nov. 23-
The effects of the European conflict
are visible here in a general shortage
of money, in banking difficulties, in
reduction of salary lists and discharge
of workmen by commercial houses and
industries, in the scarcity and expen-
siveness of provisions, in the curtail-
ment or delay of shipping movement,
| etc. The government is resolved to
practice economy and retrenchment
wherever practicable. The people are
! careful in buying and the market for
non-necessaries has fallen off. I'M
porting firms here were generally we'll
stocked before the crisis, so that an
immediate demand is not expected for
any article. After few months it is
anticipated that there will be a scar
city of coal, printing paper, sugar, rice,
wheat, flour, canned goods, chemicals,
hardware, cement, dry goods, and per-
haps other articles.
1t has been announced that for NUM-
cipal enterprises the coal supply on
hand is sufficient for six months. In
preparation for shortage the Central
Uruguay railway reduced it's schedule,
the change taking effect August II. I'M
porters of British coal assert that En-
gland will not allow interruption of
the transport of coal and that many
GOLFERS now on the way to South
America. Nevertheless, American coal
is already finding a good market in
Uruguay and dealers are making ex-
tensive preparations to secure future
stocks from the United States.
Butter, vegetable and other fresh
provisions have been high for some
time, Vegetables being very scarce on
account of bad weather from April
through July. The securing of meat,
bread and imported foodstuffs is a
more serious problem. The wheat pro-
blem was bad enough before the crisis.
At the request of bakers a govern
ment committee was appointed
month ago and has just recommended
reduction of so per cent. in the duty
on wheat and a legislative act to per-
nit further reduction or a total re-
moval if found desirable, until the
years end. The nearest and practi-
cally the only source of supply, Argen-
] tina, will at best furnish only limited
| quantity now, and at high price. 1t
is announced that the executive is
preparing measures to deal with the
high cost of provisions, but by indirect
methods without fixing prices Import
ed foodstuffs, especially canned and
preserved goods, are subject to heavy
duties and are very dear, but reduc-
tons cannot be predicted unless the
situation grows much worse.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 23.-The
leopard cannot change his spots.
Neither can the summer girl lose her
freckles, nor the one who enjoys win
ter sports when the air is biting, that
is, unless they have them operated on.
This opinion was made known by DR..
H H. Hazen, dermatologist of George
town University, who spoke to the
keep wells" at the Cairo last night.
Blames Eczema to Hot Water
DR.. Hazen laid down many rules for
treatment of the skin and hair, and not
few dont's. Hot water and soap
treatment of the face in winter he ia
booed, saying that rs per cent of the
case of eczema noted in hispitals are
the result of leaving the hands in hot
water too long. Cold water baths, he
said, were only for the hearty, and the
fashionable homemade saltwater
bath he convicted on the grounds of its
irritation to the skin.
About soaps, DR.. Hazen declared,
there was more nonsense than about
the war" Cheap good soap, he said,
differed from the most expensive only
in scent and in cost of the wrapper.
Discussing rogue, he had to admit that
it was harmless to the skin, but called
it painful to the eye. He likened the
decoration of a young lady's face with
1t to daubing advertising signs on the
lisades of the Hudson.
Tells Men to Shave Themselves.
"Shave at home" he advised the men.
"A great deal of complexion troubles
come from the barber shop"
False hair and curling irons he de-
cried In fact mpst of facial and
hirsute decoration dear to the femin-
inc heart he outlawed Injecting par
. ATTN in the face to fill our hollows, he
! declared extremely dangerous, and
| fruitful cause of cancer. DR.. Hazen
held out little hope to the bald-headed
man, saying that hereditary cases
we're beyond the skill of medical sci
ence. and that falling hair was among
the hardest things to keep in check,
much less cure.

AMER|CUS AGENCY
PURCHASES MULES
SHIPMENT ABROAD.
SINGERS FROM COTTON FIELDS
OF SUMTER WILL GO TO
WAR ZONE.

Four hundred Sumter county mules
are to quit making six cents cotton and
will occupy the more exalted position
of hauling cannon and performing
other warlike tasks upon the plains of
LIE Belle France or the sunny slopes
of stricken Belgium. There is a de-
mand there for the long cared pillow
pullers, and as the supply muletic in
Sumter is far in excess of the demand
next year, when cotton fields will grow
grain instead, the mules are going to
Europe.
Turpin Bros, Of Americas, have Or
ders for a large number of mules to
be shipped to the war zone-several
hundred in fact-and are already in
the market for such mules as come UP
to requirements.
Several fine animals have been pur-
chased this week by the Americas firm,
and as rapidly as &C arload is made I'D
the mules will be shipped to a concen-
trationl point and thence to a desig-
mated port, where they will be loaded
aboard ship for Europe Fair prices
are offered for the mules, and as farm
eras of south Georgia have, under
present conditions, surplus of mules
a good opportunity is afforded them
to sell out
Usually at this season many car
loads of high-priced mules are shipped
to Americas as the distributing market
point of south Georgia, but there will
be no such shipments this season, it
is said, owing to curtailed farming op-
erations next year.

Nd NEED To
FEAR MEAT

Ne GnaKse With Feot-aRd-MOuth Dis
ease Being Slaughtered in Federally
Inspected establishments Thorough
Gsskiag VIII Render Uninspected
MeMk PROM Local Slaughter Houses
Thoroughly Safe.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 23.-Ac-
c0ri1ng TO the specialists Of the de-
;Yzrtment of agriculture people even in
the states guaranteed for the foot
and-mouth disease need have no fear OF
eating meat, provided they cook it
Thoroughly. The foot-and-mouth dis
ease is not easily communicated to HUI
man beings through food, although the
zziRk from diseased COW might trans
INIT the disease to a human being. In
the case Of milk, however, pasteuriza-
4iGn will render it entirely safe. HUI
man beings who do get the disease
commonly get it from direct contact
With SICK animal 1t is wisest, there
fore, for people to keep away from all
animals having the disease, unless they
are properly provided with rubber
gloves, coats and boots, and these are
thoroughly disinfected after each visit
to animals.
In the case of meat, as in the case of
milk, it must be remembered that all
herds which actually show the dis
case are quarantined, and neither milk
NOR meat from the sick animals can be
sold Sixty per cent of the meat u.s.
ed In this country is produced in near
~ 500 federaITy inspected slaughtering
End packing establishments located in
240 cities. In these establishments ne
animal is slaughtered until it has
passed an ante-mortem inspection and
also most rigid post-mortem inspec-
ton by a Veterinarian at time of
slaughter.
After slaughter its meat cannot leave
the establishment until it has been
carefully examined and stamped "U. s.
Inspected and Passed" In all these es-
Establishments no animal showing any
symptoms whatever of foot-and-mouth
disease is allowed to go to slaughter,
and no meat which, on post-mortem in
EpectiOn. shows any suspicious symp-
toms OF this complaint, can be ship
ped out of the establishment. All meat
suspected of coming from an animal
suffering with this complaint is sent,
under government seal, to the tanks,
tn be rendered into fertilizer. The fed
eraI inspection stamp on meat, there
fore, means that it is entirely safe.
The federal government. however.
has no jurisdiction over local sIaugh-
ter houses which do not ship meat out
side of the state in which It is slaugh.
tered IT.. however, meat from such an
animal did escape from one of these
local slaughter houses, which are pure
IL under state or municipal control,
all danger of it's communicating the
disease to human beings would be re-
moved when it is thoroughly cooked
and sterilized. Those who are located
near an infected region and v ish to be
absolutely certain of the safety of their
meat should cook it thoroughly.
The disease when contracted by
adults is not at all serious illness. It
commonly takes the form of slight
fever sores in the mouth and a slight
eruption on the fingers. In the case of
small or sickly children, it may take
a more serious form, especially if COM
plicated by other illnesses.

Fir. Ford said when lie announced
that they would not share in tho
$40, 200, 900 melon he intended to cut

received their first pay today under

them found that their rate of wages
had been doubled, while the others
had received increases that almost
doubled their former remuneration.
There are nearly 200 women en-.
irloyes. About one-thlrd of them
work in the offices.
Officers of the company are very
