two hands to fight with successfully,
how can he get along effectively with

war cannot spare a, hand to hold the
glass, how can a people at peace?

"GAVf NE Three
MONTHS TO LIVE
MISS GARRICK WAS TOLD HER
CASE WAS HOPELESS-GREAT
JOY CAME YEAR LATER.

"You have about three months to
live" Miss Fife Garrick, of lllO
Huger St., Columbia, was told, after
she had undergone an operation Tor
stomach trouble, more than a year
ago. Miss Garrick says Il did not
die, but I did continue to feel terri
BILE until recently when l found a
means of combating my troubles
Miss Garrick says she believes she
has at last found a means of restor-
ing her health. which. all too soon
for her years, has continually threat
ened during the past ten years to
break down completely. She has
been 2 sufferer with stomach trouble
and other kindred ailments, which re-
duced her health to a state which
made her almost wretched all the
time, she said. Tanlac, the master
medicine, Miss Garrick believes, will
prove it's superior worth in her case,
as it has in hundreds of other cases
in South Carolina. Her statement
follows:
81 have suffered for ten years
with stomach trouble, indigestion,
nervousness, sleeplessness and awful
headaches. My system all the time
has been in a very much run down
condition. More than a year ago
/ became so ill I felt 1 surely would
die. After I had undergone an op-
Grafton, l was told I could hardly
live more than three months.
"Of course, 1 did not die, but |
did continue to feel terribly, and
nothing seemed to relieve my trou-
bles. I took many kinds of medi-
cines, but to no avail. l would
have headaches frequently, and they
were so painful l thought 1 would 60
crazy. While I had a headache, |
was always forced to stay in bed. l
was very nervous. I would suffer
with a full, heavy feeling after eat
ing, and I had little appetite. I
was forced to eat a very light diet.
NV condition has been steadily grow
ing worse for the past ten years.
81 decided to try Tanlac as a
sort of forlorn hope, as l had read
so much of it's wonderful effects. The
first bottle relieved my stomach trou-
BILE to an extent that l consider re-
markable. 1 began to sleep we'll,
and my appetite became enormous,
so much did it improve. l would
wake at night and be so hungry that
I would have to get something to
eat. My system responded imme-
diately to Tanlac, and built up rapid
ly. -.
"Tanlac is a great medicine, and l
I'M always glad to recommend it.
It is due many good words, for 1t is
so valuable a remedy"

MIDDLETON WANTS
OTHER BRIDGES
Augusta Chronicle.

Augusta Chronicle.
M. H. C. Middleton, Augustus
we'll known citizen, has an article in
the Columbia State, advocating an
other bridge across the Savannah
The State contains the following on
the subject:
To the Editor of The State:
The legislatures of South Carolina
and Georgia should each appoint a
committee to confer and make rec
concentrations to the two states for
a plan to bridge the Savannah river
between the two states.
Here is a large stream that sep
arates the two states. Not being en-
tirely in either state, it is unbrldged.
Bridges over this large stream are
needed in this modern day.
If the two states should agree to
erect n bridge a year over the
stream until ten bridges were erect
ed, it would mean a great deal to
each state. Each state could pay half
the cost; and each state could ar
range it's method of raising the mon
ey to pay its half-probably the
county which a bridge touches should
pay half of the states expense.
. This is an important matter and
will have to be taken up before long
the sooner the better. One bridge
the first year at a point about half
way between Anderson and Augusta
would serve a great territory; then
one between Augusta and Savannah
the next year; then another cutting
the upper river into a quarter Sec
ton the third year, etc.
Can't you agitate this for the Gene
fit OF the two states and especially
the large number of counties from
the mountains to the seaboard on
the western side of the state?

Train Your Hair as
an Actress Does

No class of people devotes as much
time to beauty as do actresses. and
naturally no class must be more care
full to retain and develop their charms
Inquiry among them develops the in
formation that in hair care they find
it dangerous to shampoo with any
makeshift hair cleanser. Instead they
have studied to find the finest prepa-
ration made for shampooing and
bringing out the beauty of the hair.
The majority of them say that to en-
joy the best hair wash and scalp slim
ulator that is known, get a package of
canthrox from your druggist; dissolve
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water
and your shampoo is ready. 1t costs
less than three cents for this amount.
After its use the hair dries rapidly,
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than it
is. Its lustre and softness will also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair

Simmons, who left his family and in

accompany him, has been located at
Woodward, Okla. A reward of $3.50
was offered for his arrest and convic-

sheriff of Woodward county will have
the satisfaction of spending the
money.
He found Simmons living with the
girl under the name of Ray Smith and
working in a barber shop. He wired
c. C. Myers, county attorney of Jewell
county, that he had the man. Myers
and the Jewell county sheriff, u. w.
Henderson, went to Woodward.
Simmons admitted his guilt but was
very much grieved to leasn that there
is a federal law which applies to his
case. He was left in charge of the
federal authorities and will be tried
in the Oklahoma federal district court

here today. Mrs. Varney spoke on
Woman Suffrage and Prohibition
and said in part:
THE saloon offers the warme est
welcome and the most hateful tempta-
families, from the poorest, from the
ignorant and from the educated, the
young have responded.
Hence, the mother from every
sphere in American life is no longer
silent, but is saying louder and louder:
The saloon must go.'
THE welfare worker today is con-
fronted with the ravages of the liquor
business. Deficient children must have
especial care The teeth of poor chill
dren must have treatment through
feeble minded must be segregated.
The hungry children must have food.
The crying babies must have medical
care. The welfarist proceeds to care
for these needs, but she asks every
where, -Why?'
In the majority of cases she finds
drinking father or a grandfather is
the source of trouble. After expert
ence she is no longer silent on the
liquor question, but SAYS boldly, Why
not expel from the fabric of life the
cause of SO much need, the liquor
business itself 2
From the psychological and socio-
logical viewpoint, the woman is crying
out for Prohibition for the nation
and has an ina1ienable right to cast
her ballot to this end"

DISCARDS HAGUE RULE
Russia No Longer VIII Respect Turk
Hospital ships

London, July 21.-A Reuters Petro-
grad correspondent says that the RUS
sian minister of foreign affairs has
informed the Turkish government
through the ambassadors of America
and Spain that Russia henceforth will
disregard the principles of The Hague
convention as far as Turkish hospital
shipes are concerned.
The Russian hospital ship Portugal
was sunk by a submarine in the
Black sea last March. There were a
large number of wounded on board at
the time and lis lives were lost II
was at first stated that the ship had
been sunk by a German underwater
boat but Turkey later accepted the
responsibility, declaring the ship did
not fly the Red Cross flag and was
mistaken for a transport.
In July the Vperiode, which took
the place of the Portugal. was tor
pedoed and sent to the bottom while
on her way to Batum to embark
wounded soldiers. The official report
of the disaster made no mention OF
loss of lives or of the nationality of the
submarine.
