My Favorite Ways
of Cooking Fish
By MAY IRWIN.


II XPERTS who are trying to
help us reduce the cost Of
living recommend that we
eat more fish because it is SO much
less expensive than meat. AS for
myself there are at least two rea-
sons besides it's cheapness why
am fond Of fish. 1t is, l believe.
one of the most healthful of foods
and when properly prepared there
is nothing more appetizins. Here
are some ways of preparing fish
which l find delicious.

How. to Make
Ferns Grow
THE prevalent idea that ferns

THE prevalent idea that ferns
must have no sun is wrong
one. Ferns will live in the
shade, and there are some sorts, of
course, that are scorched by the sun.
: But most ferns that are cultivated in
the house like good deal of sun
light, and never do their best with
out it.
Window boxes where ferns are
growing should be sprinkled lavishly
twice day. If the leaves are dry
and dusty they should be we'll shaken
before sprinkling.
If possible, get the earth with
which to fill your boxes from an old
hotbed-rich loan and rotted manure
about half and half
Failing that, take any which Is
handy and enrich it with ammonia,
and bone meal, mixed thoroughly. A
heaping teaspoonful of the bone meal
or tablespoonful Of manure Is
enough for a siX-inch pot Of earth.
Neither must be kept directly on the
roots of the plants. Liquid fertilizer,
likewise, must be kept off the roots,
stems and leaves. Make hole at one
side of trench just inside the pot
rim, pour in the fertilizer and let it
sink, then put back the earth.

Campaign Falsehoods.

Whenever reports are circulated or
campaign circulars issued at the
eleventh hour they should go unheeded
by every thoughtful citizen. The fact
that they are withheld until the cleo
ton is too near at hand to afford an
opportunity of denial or an explana-
tion is proof positive that they are false
and are being circulated for the pur-
pose of injuring some candidate.
The Advertiser hss been informed
that circulars containing false charges
are being scattered over Edgefeld
county for the purpose of injuring MIR.
Manning. That such literature was held
back by the political opponents of Mr..
Manning until he had absolutely no op-
portunity to disprove these charges, is
manifestly unjust and we do not be-
lieve the citizenship of Edgefeld coun-
ty will countenance any such method
to defeat good man for office.
The Hon. Richard /. Manning is
man of acknowledged ability and whose
character is absolutely without blot
or stain. He holds the confidence of
the people of Sumter county, the people
who know him best. Notwithstanding
the fact that there were II candidates
for governor, in the first primary Mr..
Manning received two-thirds of the
votes cast in Sumter county, which is
strong endorsement by his own people.
Beware of campaign lies that are
circulated at the eleventh hour. Such
methods should react upon those IN
whose interests that are circulated.

Farmer Thinks The Water Here

came to Hot Springs for the first
time, suffering with rheumatism and

ton. He had heard of the curative
powers of the hot waters here aud
he determined to try the noted
baths. He returned to his home,
feeling, as he expressed it to-day,
for he is back for his second visit,
as fine as l ever felt in my life. P"
This time, however, he did not
come alone, but brought with him
his neighbor, w. w. Satcher, also
retired farmer, and the two gentle
men called at the Business Mems

where they are opening a course of
