percentage OF Illness Among TrooDs
Remarkably Light.

American Training Camp i'm France.
Thursday, Aug. 9.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. 1.-The hard training
work for the trenches, with it's long
hours Of outdoor life. is proving Il
veritablc tonic to the members Of the
American eXpeditionary force. The
percentage of illness for the entire
force is but 1-2 per cent as against
an average of per cent. in army
posts in the United States. Nearly all
the sickness is made up of light cases
of mumps, measles and colds.
The remarkable light sick report is
most gratifying to the medical staff
There is every likelihood that the
American medical staff will be con-
siderably augmen tod before the men
actually take their places in the
trenches. At present the American
army has only one doctor and eleven
medical corps men to each 500 SOL
diers. The French have two doctors
and thirty-seven men for the same
number of soldiers and find this staff
none too large.
There has been considera BILE discus
sion here as to just what part the
American Red Cross with tbs vast
funds, will play in handling the
wounded and sick, and just where the
army work will leave off and that of
the Red Cross begin. 1t has been
suggested that army medical corps
will undoubtedly handle everything
within the actual fighting zone, turn
ing the patients over to the Red Cross
for conveyance to a base hospital.
There seems little possibility that
Americans wounded will be trans
ported back to America for a long
period to come. These men will have
to be cared for wholly in France and
looked after during extensive spells
of cOnvalescence.

The lesson of this union last night,
the subject being make His Praise
Glorious" was an unusually interest
ing one.
One of the most interesting items
in the program was the recitation of
poem composed by the pastor, Rev.
r. w. Reynolds, on this special sub
ject at the request of the lady who
rendered it.
Following is the poem:
"Mal>c His Praise Glorious"
For all that God has done for us,
His praises we should sing.
He gives us all we have in life,
We owe Him everything.
The sunshine bright, the stars at
night,
The dew at carly morn,
The rain that falls upon the earth,
From out his hands are borne.
The song birds singing in the trees,
The fragrant flowers that bloom,
Are Heavens rich blessings sent to
us,
And out Of Gods hand they come.
There is nothing in this life we have,
No blessings great or small,
But come from God in Heaven above,
to Him we owe It all.
Yea, even for that larger life,
We owe Him all we have,
Because when we were lost in sin.
His Son for us He gave.
And on that Son believing, true,
We can brave deaths swelling tide,
And come at last to live with Him,
Safe on the other side.
SO. sing Gods praises every day,
With lips attuned to praise,
with glad hosannas laud His name,
Through all the passing days.
In the morn's fresh hour let praise
rise,
AT the noon-tide hour sing
jubilant song OF praises great,
In honor Of God our King.
When the sun sinks In the golden
West,
And the bright stars deck the sky.
Break forth in rapturous hymns of
praise,
TO Him who reigns on high.
so, every day and every hour,
Throughout our whole life long,
Let's strive to make our life for Him,
One beautiful. glad praise song.
And when at last we pass life's stile,
And His glory we shall see
| Well then break forth i'm richest
| praise,
Throughout eternity.
Rev. T.. w. Reynolds.

Tuesday, August :ist, buy Set Apart
by Government for This urposc. 4.

| Tuesday, August 14th, has been sc,
aside by the National Council of De.
Tense as Registration Day" for the
women OF the nation. On that day cv-
cry woman over sixteen years of age
Is expected to fill out q card giving
data and information concerning her
occupation and ability. Those signing
the cards carry no obligation with IL
to serve the government. The idea
OF the government is to get a def
mite scope OF the woman power of
tho nation. This Is the first request
the government has made of the
american woman.
The local councils Of defense COM
mittees are cooperating with the gov
ernment In this work and work has
been carried on throughout the en-
tire State. Later on chairmen for the
different townships will be appointed
and the work will reach every woman.
In accordance with the request OF
Herbert C. Hoover, food dictator
under the recently raszed food con-
troll act, Gov. Manning has issued a
proclamation setting aside Tuesday,
August 21st. as the date Of registra-
tion. 1t Is the plan of the govern
ment to assemble all resources in the
food line.
The proclamation reads as follows
Whereas. the great world war in
which this country is now involved,
In the fight for liberty and humanity,
makes 1t necessary that the resources
Of the entire country be concentrated
and placed at the disposal of our gov
ernment: and,
Whereas. the necessity is such
that all our resources should be con-
served in every possible manner: and
Whereas, 1t is necessary that the
women be called on to do their part
(Which Is a very important one) and
thus share in the glory Of winning in
this great struggle:
Now. therefore, /, Richard I. Man.
ming. governor of the State of South
Carolina. do hereby proclaim Tues
day, August 81. 1917. 'Woman's Reg
istration Day. and urge the women
of the State. on that day. to sign their
pledge to support the Hoover plan O:
food conservation. and give to the
government information about them
selves. In order that the women
strength OF the State may be known
by the authorities. and each may be
allotted such service as she Is bes.
fitted to perform. The women O.
South Carolina, like her patriotic
SONS, have never failed to do their
duty whenever a crisis is presented,
and confidently expect a full reg
istration on the day fixed.
I'm witness whereof, 1 have set my
hand and caused the great seal of
the State to be affixed, ut Columbia,
this Sth day Of August, A. ID. 1917,
and In the 1920 year of the inde-
pendcnce OF the United States

HOME BURNS NEW YEARS DAY
House on Minette Farm Near West
port Completely Destroyed
Contents Saved.

The house on the farm owned by
Hon. F. E. Minette, near Westport,
was completely destroyed by fire New
Years morning about 1880. Ed. Min
cite, a son of the owner, very recently
removed his family to the farm from
North Dakota. Mr.. and Mrs. Minettc
were up and about their morning
work when the wife discovered that
the overheated flue had set fire to the
kitchen. Hastily summoning her hus-
band from the barn they set about to
get their five little children up and
removed to safety. Meanwhile a
youngssister Of Mr.. Minette's ran to
the Spooner home about 600 feet dis
tant and soon several were busy re-
moving the household goods. A piano,
heavy stoves and ranges with fire in
them, and most of the household fix
lures were saved. The loss On the
house is about $500 with an insurance
of 5000.
After the kiddies were remov ed
from the house they We've placed in
a manger in the barn to- keep them
warm. Later the family came to Sank
Centre and are stopping temporarily
at the Minette home in this city. A
typical North Dakota shack will be
built at once which the family will use
until spring when a new home will be
erected.
