Physical Fitness Big Asset.


No woman nowadays can afford
not to be well.
III health-even mere "delicacy,"
with no positive manifestations OF
disease-exists too much. There Is
the obvious, direct expense Of doctors
bills and medicines. But Indirectly
you pay much higher price for not
being we'll. If you are wage Garner
your lost time and energy, due to a
lack Of physical strength, must also
be computed in lost dollars.
Poor health will interfere constant
ly with your social good times. It
will mar whatever beauty you may
possess sooner than any other cause.
If you are a wife and mother illness
and weakness will interfere with your
duties and the comfort Of those dear
to you. Whatever your station In
life you will find that the role Of in
valid and weakling is no longer fash
ionable or popular. For a while you
will have the sympathy OF your
friends, but the best Of them viii be
bored with you sooner or later. They
can't help it. 4 worship Of physical
fitness is in the air, and, instead Of
whining and plying yourself, you
must bend all your energies to the
task Of becoming well.-Exchange.

Ex-Governor Blease in a
speech before a convention held
in Columbia last week said he
was not a candidate for any
Office, which should relieve the
distressed minds Of those who
have been claiming he would
run in the general election. We
are glad Mr.. Blease had the
manhood to make this statement
and not be Influenced into enter
ing the general election, as 1t
would have been a bad precedent
in future primaries. 1t matters
not how lie or his supporters
feel, they should accept the de-
cision of the ones that declared
him defeated, and hope for
things to right themselves in
time to come.

to have the Office, whether there
be any honor attached or not.
NOT FAIR.
After seeing the representa-
tives in this convention, and
having had personal interviews
with men from every nook and
corner of South Carolina during
the present week, I am absolute
ly and confidently satisfied that
South Carolina Is facing the
greatest political crisis of her
history, and that the'honest yoe-
manry Of this state, even some
of those who are opposed to me
politically, have awakened to a
realization Of the fact that their
elections are no longer fair and
honorable, nor is the victory to
the man or men who engaged in
honest methods, but to those
who can steal purchase, intimi-
date or coerce the largest num-
Der of their fellow citizens.
Realizing this, they have made
up their minds, with full deter
mination, to so into the fight
with renewed vigor, and [ now
predict that the year 1918 will
see the greatest political battle
that has yet been fought IN
South Carolina, and the Reform
faction sill be the victorS, be-
cause the right will prevail: and
truth crushed to earth shall rise
again"

FUmiaating Paper.

There are many formulas for max
ing fumigati2g paper, one Of the most
simple being: Benzoin, 1 av. ounce;
storax, one.half ounce; fumigating es.
sence, 2 fl. ounce; ether, 4. ounce;
acetic acid, glacial, 20 drops; alcohol,
2 fl. ounce. Dissolve the benZoin and
storax in a mixture Of the alcohol and
ether filter, and add the fumigating
essence and the acetic acid. Spread
the mixture upon fltering or bibu1ous
paper (blotting paper e.g.) and allow
it to dry. To prevent sticking, dust
the surface with talcum, and preserve
in wax paper. When used, the paper

Keepino Blooms Fresh.

Flowers begin to bleed as soon as
they are cut, and the precious sap
running out Of them causes the cells
to collapse Immediately. To prevent
this, the end of the stem must be
quickly closed, and this is best done
by soaring in a fame or by placing
directly in hot water. For corsage
bouquets the soaring process is best,
although little tedious, as each stem
must be so treated.
