A REFLECTION.


When | look on the picture Of old
man Crouch in the Constitution, the
first thing that pops into my head is,
| wonder if | am as hard featured as
Daddy Crouch. The next, whether my
wife has mo under as good control, as
Mrs. Crouch has her old man. When
see the milk churn between his legs
and his wife's cook apron over his
lap to keep the milk from splashing
over his trousers, 1t looks very home
like. Papa | wish you would churn
for me this morning as have SO much
to do" She can tell me to do more
half hour. Sometimes. / think she is
afraid that | will get lazy, and wants
me to keep in motion to work off the
surplus fat. well know that work
will keep me from getting too tiff in
the joints We old men must have
something to do, and as we spend the
most OF our time on our younger days
in outdoor work, it is a good thing to
get acquainted with Our wives in our
old age, and cheer them up and help
them all we can in their daily work.
When all the children leave the home,
the good wife needs all the help she
can get, and encouragement to bright
en- up the old home. The visits Of the
children and grandchildren add great
ly to cheer the lives Of the parents.

TO CIIURN WHOLE MILK
is HARD AND COSTLY
Practice Prevalent on South Carolina
Farms Proves Burden.

FafmS IrOYcS Burden.
Clemson College, dee. 26.-The
greatest part of the farm buttcr made
in the upper counties of South Caro-
lima is made by churning whole milk
The chief reason given by those who
follow this practice is that they wish
to make large quantity Of buttcrmilk
but it is very expensive product, as
the following estimates made by the
dairy division Of Clemson College
prove.
When ten gallons Of average milk
are churncd under the very best con-
ditions about one and one-fourth
pounds Of butter will be left in the
buttermilk. This Is worth at least
from % to 35 cents. This means from
2 1-2 to 3 1-2 cents worth of butter in
each gallon Of buttermilk, which is far
too great a loss to bear
To churn ten gallons Of milk is
hard work for woman women
do the churning in most farm homes.
With average conditions, she will
make only four pounds Of butter. To
churn ten gallons Of milk and make
only four pounds Of butter is very poor
business. On the other hand, ten gal
Ions of cream should contain not less
than 30 pounds of butter, and with
the same labor seven and onc-half
times as much butter can be made
when cream instead Of whole milk is
churned.
TO churn whole milk the temper
aturc must be high and this often gives
alb ad body to the butter. 1t is hard to
get the butterfat together when whole
milk is churned and much butter is
lost in the wash water.
Buttcrmilk just as good can be made
If skim-milk is allowed to clabbcr and
is then churned. If some butter is de-
sired in milk, add one quart Of whole
milk to every 20 quarts of sltim-milk.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of Sc
rious illness, makes q chemical analysis
of the patients urine. He knows that UNI
less the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are sure
to follow. Therefore, it is particularly
necessary to pay more attention to the
health of these important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy il
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
ized, according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp Root at once from any phar-
macy. It is sold by every druggist in bot
ties of two sizes-50c and $l00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR.
Kiimer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y, for
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

ALLIED FORCES ON RETREAT
Fall Back Into Greek
Territory-Greece Protects Allies
on Retiring Towards Saloniki.

LOndon.-The Ar,gfo-French forces
have commenced a general retirement
from Southern Servia, and it is sug-
gested that their destination is the re-
gion of Saloniki. This retirement was
necessitated, not only by the superior
forces which the Bulgarians and Ger
mans opposed to the allies. but to a
threat of an outfianking movement
from Petrovo, where the Bulgarians
have arrived, and also to danger to
their line of communication from Bull
garian irregulars, who had crossed the
Greek frontier.
Both the British and the French
forces, who are well supplied with ar
tiIlery and machine guns, engaged in a
four days battle. in which they inflict-
ed very heavy losses on the Bulgar-
ians, who fought with desperation and
the greatest courage. Attack after AZ
tack was repulsed, but the Bulgarians
still came on, and each evening the
allies fell back to new positions. where
events ofsthe day before were re-
peated.
The question now arises whether
the Bulgarians and Germans wal fol-
low the allies across the Greek from
tier and what attitude the Greek gov
eminent will adopt. King Constantine
has promised to use his army to pro-
tect the retiring force II they under
take to re-embark. and has shown his
good faith by preventing Bulgarian
raiding bands from destroying the al
lies communications. but It is doubt
full whether the allies will agree
evacuatte Saloniki. which, under the
guns OF their ships. would provide .
good defensive position and a base
from which other operations could be
undertaken.

On January 3.

Washington. first week Of the
Sixty-fourth Congress. which Is des-
tined to be historic in the nations an
nails, brought about practically har-
monious organization in both houses
and revealed the determination OF ad-
ministration leaders to attempt no So
rious legislative business until after
the holiday recess.
President Wilson's address, with It's
suggestions for national preparedness.
denunciation Of internal conspirators
against the neutrality OF the govern
ment, warning OF the necessity for In
creased revenues and outline OF other
urgent legislative needs, was the most
important event of the week. The adj
dress furnished members OF botn
houses with much food for thought,
and there were many indications that
the defense program and revenue re-
Quirements would precipitate long and
strenuous debate.
Owing to the difficulty Of reorganiz-
ing the House committees because OF
the greatly increased minority, Con-
gress could not get down to actual
business. Minority Leader Mann does
not expect to have his committee as
signments ready for several days. and
little can be done before Dec. Is, when
Congress plans to adjourn until Jan.
3 for the Christmas holidays. Senate
Democrats and Republicans are ready
with their committee reorganization.
but there Is no disposition in that
branch to undertake consideration of
any important legislation at once.
Several days may be spent by the Sem
ate in executive consideration OF re-
cess nominations and perhaps the
pending treaty with Nicaragua.

PROTESTS ANCoNA SINKING
Demands Made by ". s. In Note For
warded by,State Department-Ask
Disavowal by Austria.

Wasbington.-A vigorous protest
against the sinking of the steamship
Ancona by an Austrian submarine has
been sent to Austria by Secretary of
State Lansing. 1t has been learned
that the note was sent following a cab.
met meeting.
Demands made on Austria are:
That the government disavow the
act
That assurances be given that there
will be no repetition of such warfare.
That reparation and indemnity be
given Americans concerned.
That the submarine commander
guilty OF the outrage be punished by
the government.
Austria's unsatisfactory explana-
ton, which conflicted with the official
reports of United States consuls at
Algiers, Naples and Marseilles and
the report of Ambassador Page at
Rome, prompted tire protest. The Ital-
ian statement and the stories OF the
survivors were also widely at vari-
ance with Austria's version OF the
facts.
The United States takes the unqual-
flied position that it has been estab-
lished that the Ancona was attacked
without warning. 1t Is also held as
an established fact that the ship was
fired upon while ljfeboats were being
filled with passengers.
These conclusions are reached by
this government despite the sweeping
denial in Austria's first statement of
the allegations of the American sur
vivors and the Italian government
which were denounced as "mendacious
inventions" A second dispatch from
Austria was to the effect that report
could not be made until the statement
of the submarine commander was OBJ
tanned.
One Of the latest communications to
the state department was from Con-
sui Dean Mason, at Alg!ers. who stated
unqualifiedly that passengers were
still aboard the Ancona when it sank.
Thus far this government has not
been appraised of the report made by
the submarine commander to his gov
eminent The delay has irritated ad-
ministration officials. particularly In
view of the attack on the Standard
Oil steamer Petrolite by submarine
flying the Austrian flag.

and Capt. Won Papen, naval and mill
tary attaches, respectively, of the en-
sbassy, had been recalled In accord.
ance with the request OF the United
States. He asked that safe conduct
home be obtained for the officers.
The ambassador said that the
American reply to Gornany's request
for the reasons for asking the recalls
had been satisfactory. After leaving

to make any statement. 1t was made
plain that the recall of the attaches
was perfectly satisfactory to Emperor

personally.
