Printers Supplies Cost More.

Although there have been
marked increases during the last
rear in the materials used by
: printers, more increases are ex-
2tcted in the next few weeks.
No one will venture to say what
the situation will be if the war
continues another year.
Paper, inks, type, printers
rollers, machinery and metals of
various kinds have all advanced
Paper in various grades has
gone up from 5 to 20 per cent.
Printers have to pay for ink
from 10 to $50 per cent more
than a year ago. Only slight in
reases have been made in the
cost Of type to US.
Colored paper is becoming
scarce. So far it has been possible
to get it because large stocks
were on hand when the war
broke out and the manufacturers
have been able to get coloring
matter. But now the stocks are
low and the supply of coloring
matter is nearly gone. 1t is i'm
possible to say what theincrease
IS on these papers, for the prices
are constantly going up. Up to
the present time. the increase
runs from % to so per cent.

Home Grown Seed Best.

Beware of seedmen from
other states who offer great
things in the line of guaranteed
seed. Don't take things for gran
ted. As the state seed law can
not be held to apply in the case
of interstate sales, one has no
protection in such instances. J."
This is the warning issued from
the office of A. L. Stone, the
state seed Inspector. He reports
that an increasing number of
highly decorated catalogs full of
rich promises is being mailed
broadcast throughout the state.
The officials of the inspection
service are urging grain growers
to sow home grown seed, if such
is obtainable. Seeds that have
been proven "best by test" and
are reasonably certain of pro-
ducing good yields cannot be OBJ
tanned through hit and miss mail
order buying.
Lists Of farmers having good,

Cain, one OF the sturdy farmers of
westminster, near the dividing lines
OF the States OF South Carolina and
Georgia, that we are given a beauti-
ful example OF this return of 10y
when health is again made better
Mr Cain wrote recently to the
State agent for Tanlac at Columbia a
voluntary testimonial Of Tanlac. His
experiences are best told in the fol-
lowing letter, which he wrote:

You correct testimonial for Tanlac.

1t is just such statements from cit
izens OF various walks OF life, like
Mr.. Cain, who hold the highest es-
TEEN OF the community in which they
i've, that have prompted others to
buy the great preparation. and, there
fore the makers of Tanlac are in
debtcd to these persons for their tes-

TO Conserve business Mems Liy,

TO Conserve business Mems Lives.
To conserve the health of busi-
ness men was the theme Of an inter-
csting paper read by Dr. Chas. O. RI.
Laughlnghouse, OF Greenville, at the
| recent meeting OF the State Medical
Society in Durham. The prevention
| OF arterio ichlerosis or hardening Of
the arteries was the chief means
pointed out by Dr.. Laughinghouse for
| conserving the business mans health
and prolonging his life. That he
| above all others should be most
| markedly prone to acquire this dis
ease, as explained by the writer, is
| due to his manner Of living-"liy-
ing too rapidly, burning the candle
at both ends, growing old premature
IT,"
| fle says: The business man eats
| too fast and too much. He throws
into his circulatory system. without
knowing it. excessive food and
fluids, combined frequently with toxic
| products, which cause too early a
condition Of high arterial tension. He
! neglects his bowels and thereby
causes absorption Of poisonous pro-
! ducts from the intestines which
brings about rise in blood pressure.
| lie fOregoes even mild exercise
which is an essential feature to the
art OF living long"
Doctor Laughinghouse advocates
two ways for preventing what is COM
| monty called hardening OF the arter-
les: First, rational plan OF daily
| living. and second. a physical exami-
! nation twice a year. He says men
must be taught that they are entirely
dependent upon their circulatOry sys-
tenn, that they are as old as their
arteries and that moderation in all
things must be the rule. Besides
habitual personal hygiene. proper
diet. exercise and sufficient sleep and
rest, the writer makes plea for fire.
qucnt mental changes. He further
| advises every business man to go
twice year to his physician to
know whether this and other diseases
have set in, that he may check them
in their durable stage and prolong
the most useful period OF his life.
