i've July 10. This order leaves por-
ton of Berkeley county the only ter
sritory in the state still subject to fed

ty, territory within five miles of Mar
tinsburg or of an infected farm at
North Mountain remains in the re-
stricted area. The regulations in the
restricted area, however, are much
less stringent than in any of the other

ANGRY AT AUGUST
July Building Operations More Than
Double Last Month What They
We're in July.

The month Of August may have
been "cussed and discussed" by the
public in general but the Rock Islar,d
contractors did not fare so badly. ac-
cording 10 the figures on the building
operations started during the month,
and which have Just been compiled by
City Building Inspector c. Y. john
son.
Building circles were very active
compared with July. and more than
twice as much work was started due-
ing the month lust closed as in the 81
days preceding it.
In August according to estimator,
permits were taken out for structures
to cost $124. ISL, while in July the
estimates were s55.S59. The fees col
lected in August amounted to $15450,
while in July they aggregated S79.
Stxty-five permits were taken out IN
August.
Contractors are expecting a con
ttnuation OF this showing during Sep
TENDER at least. The year thus far
has not developed many large opera
tions. but the number Of houses con
structed, alterations, remodeling and
repairing Jobs, compares well with
1914.

A New Wrinkle
For Cooking

Many housewives have found out
that for cooking purposes there is nc
milk superior TO Etna Brand Evapor-
ated Milk. As it is germ-free ana
cleaner than dairy milk it is safer to
use and means a real saving in cost
Etna Evaporated Milk in the tai
can for ten cents is the equivalent OF
an equal amount of fresh cream. T.
cooking it can be used. in place O.
cream, just as it comes from the can
or diluted in place of milk. When
chilled Etna Milk will whip as well as
double cream.
Owing 10 the wonderful process OF
evaporating Etna Milk. il has none OF
The cooked taste OF condensed milk,
but retains the fresh milk taste OF
The pure cream. unsweetened, from
which il is made.
Housewives like Etna because it is

Rabbi Cronbach in Good VIII Sermon

Association.

Good VIII" was the subject dis
cussed by Rabbi Cronbach at Temple
Bethel Sunday morning in which he
spoke of the purpose of the camT align
and the many results that may come
from it.
The Good Will campaign is cam
paign OF education in which the peo-
pie of this city are going TO learn what
they have not known before, but what
they ought TO know.
How many know about the Flor
cree Crittenton circle andi tsa dmir-
able work? How many know about
the Children's dispensary? How many
mothers are ignorant Of the fact that
there is on West Division street a we'll
managed place where the life and
health Of babies can be conserved
How many know about the Visiting
Nurse association which enables
the needy and sick 10 have the atten-
ton Of a trained nurse.
How many know what the Associ-
ated Charities is for. enormously
imagining that the Associated Chart
ties is an aims giving institution and
then raising the clamor about office
expense when il is by chance discov-
I'd that the Associated Charities IS
not an AIMS swing institution. but an
educational institution where the poor
and rich alike can go and obtain ad-
wee ,OGehing the correction Of pow
erty.
You may say the poor do not need
advice but they need clothes and food
You are wrong. Poverty has its roots
not IN the pocket, not in the stomach
and not on the back. Poverty has its
roots in the head and in the heart Of
not only those who ask alsm but also
these who give aims.
If there were more wisdom and
more common sense. there would be
less poverty. The Associated n lri-
ties is the scientific store hou Of
wisdom and common sense. They who
content themselves with asSailng the
Associated Charities for its office eN-
pense' would do better more frequent
Is 10 consult the Associated Charities
They would he less iniuring and more
