all over the country refuse to pre-
scribe alcohol under any condition.
As has been shown, many acquire
the alcohol habit before attaining
maturity. There are many ways in
which this habit has been acquired,
but perhaps the commonest form
has been through the medium OF a
patent medicine containing a great
percentage of this deadly poison.
Beef, wine and iron, for instance, is
usually given to those convalescing
from a severe illness. This is a ia
vorite preparation given to children
and has probably done more to de-
velop the alcohol habit than the av-
erage person imagines.
Iron, of course, is the greatest
blood purifier and strengthener
known; on the other hand, alcohol
is perhaps the deadliest poison to
the tissue of the human system. 1t

American Women No Slackers.

These are days when we may we'll
feel proud of our American girls and
women. The fields of France for
countless miles are this moment be-
ing cultivated by the French women
with never a man to assist. That
American women would as prompt
ly. resolutely, and effectively take
up the same burden, did the same
necessity exist here, there is not the
slightest doubt. The voice of the
scoffer at the suffragette is hushed
in admiration at what the women
are doing in the demands of the
crucial moment. Both in crowd
ed cities and by the isolated farm
side the American girl and woman
without regard to wealth or social
distinction is employing every spare
moment in Red Cross work. With
out any brass bands to call a crowd
they flocked to the training places
to learn and to do, nor has their in
terest and enthusiasm waned; on
the contrary it has steadily grown.
The subscription to the Liberty
Loan affords another opportunity to
show of what stuff the patriotism of
the American woman is made. In
countless shops, stores, factories,
and offices, girls receiving only a
few dollars per week, and too often
responsible for the support of wild
owed mothers and younger brothers
and sisters, Loyalty made their SUBJ
scription for bond, when to do so
meant actual sacrifice and even pri-
vation for so weeks. But no one
hears them complain of this, and
their only expressed regret is their
inability to take larger amount.
These are days when the American
man and boy has greater occasion
than any time in the past nalf CEN

mother, sister. and sweetheart.-H

Using Your Time.

Time is only a measure of ambi-
ton. The allotted expectancy of life
is three score and ten years. This is
! period, q space; and in this sense
all men are equal. Yet how different
is the value of this allotted time to
different men.
Successful men use time for what
it is worth; the failures place no
commercial value on time. Success
full men divide their time 80 that
every hour brings them returns.
Business, recreation. rest and edu-
cation, each has its certain time and
that time is used for that particular
purpose.
To such men time is money, for
money is the logical return for the
use of time properly expended. Not
a minute is wasted. The time devot-
ed to recreation, rest and education
is valued because it makes men ply
sically and mentally able to get the
most out of the time strictly devoted
to business.
The man who givess all Of his
time to business is a failure because
his health won't stand it, and when
health is lost time is of no CONNER
cial value. So the expression time
is money" does not mean that every
minute should be given to business,
but that the time given to business
will bring more money because of
the added efficiency possessed by
any man who sensibly divides his
time between business, recreation,
rest and education. To such men all
time is money.

Food for Humanitarian Use Only.

Following the official announce
ment of food embargo the govern
ment has notified the Dutch, Swedish
and Danish governments that they
must establish effective agencies to
limit the sale and distribution of
their exports into Germany to hu-
manitarian uses-that is, necessities
solely for the nourishment of women
and children.
There probably will be exceptions
to the embargo regulations humane
ly essential to the we'll being of the
suffering women and children Of
Germany. These would take the
form of exemptions covering dairy
products designed for the use of in
nocent victims of the war and coal

Great Britain as we'll as the United

Crop Prospects in South Carolina.

1t would he difficult to find a wider
contrast than that which exist be-
tween the conditions which obtain
in Eastern South Carolina today as
compared with those which were
general throughout that section a
year ago at this time. Then the
great storm of July, 1916, had just
swept the State, leaving desolatian
in its wake. There were wide areas
in which crops were completely de-
stroyed; and the rains which follow
ed were so torrential that the sea-
son was we'll spent before those who
had the seed and the thrift could do
much in the way of planting other
crops to take the place of those
which had been ruined. Not all
famers suffered alike, of course.
Many made half a crop or better.
But there were hundreds who lpro-
duced practically nothing. In parts
of Williamsburg, Florence, Claren-
don, Marion, Georgetown and Oar.
lington counties there were lands
which did not yield a bale..of cotton
to fifteen acres.
No better testimonial toathe posi-
bilities of this section could be had
than the manner in which the people
have pulled through this distressful
period. For many of them!the past
twelve months have been very hard

how, and kept going. Now they
see daylight again. The tobacco
markets are in full swing and the
prices are the best the planters have
ever received. Throughout the sec.
tion which was storm-swept last
summer hundreds of thousands of
dollars will be disbursed for tobacco
in the next few weeks. 1t is prob
able that if things go as we'll as
they now promise numbers of small
farmers will pay themselves out of
debt with their tobacco money alone.
Yet tobacco in South Carolina is

this state of affairs will persist until

No other country is so susceptible
to psychological manipulation as
Germany, but there are limits to the
German capacity for unquestioned

the German press that those limits
have been reached. AS the economic
and military pressure increases, pop

of political palliatives adopted by

The German Crisis.

Out of the conflicting and incon-
elusive reports in regard to the Ger
man crisis one fact stands forth
clearly and distinctly. The imperial
government is now on the defensive
at home and is compelled to deal in
concrete fashion with the growing
dissatisfaction of the German people.
The nomination of an official scape-
goat in the person of the chancellor
or DR. Zimmerman or Helfferich, or
the adoption of electoral reforms.
can surely have only a temporary
effect, for no power exists by which
the German government can give to
the German people the one thing
that is necessary to reestablish the
former solidarity. Victory alone
can do that. and victory is no long,
er possible.
The present state of the German
mind marks the first stage of German
defeat. Hitherto the kaiser's states
men have been able to answer all
questions with the simple formula,
Look at the map" The Germans
have been looking at the map month
in and month out as they frightened
their belts and adapted themselves
to new privations, but the map no
longer carries the inspiration to
sacrifice. What the German people
are beginning to perceive is that
their government has been multiply
ing the number of enemies without
giving them anything in return for
the increasing odds against them.
The submarine campaign has not
produced the results that were
promised. After five months Eng
land is as, far from starvation as
ever. Five months ago the German
government was assuring its people
that victory through ruthless SUBJ
marine warfare was so inevitable
that Germany could well afford to
drive the United States into the war
in order to obtain a free hand at sea.
The submarine has failed to accom-
plish the results that were so eager
ly expected, all the military, financial
and economic resources of the Uni
ted States have been thrown into
the scale on the side of, the allies,
Russia has been rehabilitated in a
military way. France and Great
Britain have drawn new inspira-
ton from American support, dis
content in Austria Hungary has
steadily increased and the Geman
governments pledges of victory
have gone to protest.
The temper of the people is reflect
ed in the morale of the army, which
is fighting with little of its former
vigor and elan, as recent results on
both the Eastern and Western fronts
show So long as a decisive Ger
man victory seemed probable or pos

at no sacrifice. but that spirit grows
weaker and weaker. A whole peo-
pie cannot be indefinitely deceived

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever since there
were farmers in New England, but the
number of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity Of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
" at home and contented with its sur
roundIngs. The English sparrOws and
the starlings may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter how
cold or stormy it may be, one finds
the crow doing business as usual. If

SINGING CALLED LOST ART
II Is Now Confined Chiefly to Profes-
sionaIs, Drunkards and Phono-
graphs, Says Writer.

Singing as far as most people are
concerned, is lost art. Thousands
attend operas, recitals and musical
comedies, tens Of thousands wind up
monographs; but as for singing them
selves informally at their work or play
they have forgotten how. In times
past people of all ranks sang together
as a matter of course. Sailors sang at
their work, peasants, shepherds, cow
bOys-all had their favorite and ap-
prOpriate songs. The songs of chill
dren at games, the lullabies of moth
ers are in the collected ballads and
folklore of many peoples, says the In
dianapolis News.
"The pastimes and the Iabors Of the
husbandman and the shepherd" says
Andrew Lang, "were long ago a kind
of natural opera. Each task had its
own song; plowing, seeding, harvest,
burial-all had their appropriate bal
lads or dirges. The whole soul Of the
peasant class brealhes in their bur-
dens as the great sea resounds in the
shell cast up on the Shore"
Nowadays the whirl of machinery
makes all the noise. The workers in
mills might find il unsatisfying to sing
at their work, but it is doubtful if they
would sing even if their voices could
be heard; while singing in an Office OF
store would pretty surely be stopped
by the "bOss" or the police. Thou
