VICTORY ASSURED
The South Falls in Line

A short time ago the name of Iron
lied Paw-Paw was unknown in Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina
all had been accustomed to hear of
the old reliable Paw-Paw Tonic.
The march Of progress and science
brought Iron and NuX to universal
use, then our chemists got busy and
added these two important items to
the original Tonic, in use for the past
20 years, making a compound of 3
powerful forces into l, now known as
IroniZed Paw-Paw.
Since January 1, 1917, we have
introduced this great new remedy
into nearly every city and town in
Virginia and are now completing
North and South Carolina. Thou
sands of bottles have been sold and
in not one single instance has any
dissatisfaction been made known.
We stand or fall on the merits OF
our preparation. Remember, lit is
not a cure all" We point the road
to Health-Nux for the nerves-Iron
for the blood-Paw-Paw for the
stomach.
Don't trifle with your health If
nerves disordered. or stomach weak
have the remedy at hand-Ironized
Paw-Paw, which has stood the test
OF time.
Ironized Paw-Paw Remedy will do
more to brighten the world; to dis
pei gloom, to make happy homes and
strong Iron bodies, than all the med
icines that have been compounded
The evidence we are publishing every
day should be conclusive proof.
There is no guess work about these
statements, they come from your
neighbor, from people you can GO
and see and from people you are
bound to believe.
A system that Is overworked or run
down requires a harmless stimulant
IrOnized Paw-Paw lifts and holds
you. Your druggist probably keeps
It. but IL he doesn't. 1t is sold at the

THE COTTON RED SPIDER.

Clemson College, Aug. 2.-No
action entailing much labor and ex-
pense should be hastily begun at this
time where the red spider is infest-
ing cotton. Cotton red spider was
predicted at the beginning Of the sea-
son but at this time the weather
conditions in most sections Of the
State are badly against this pest.
Watch the fields closely and when
the first signs appear collect the in
tested leaves and dying stalks in the
various spots in the field according
to methods similar to the following:
Soak a cotton seed sack in kero-
sene and then wiring the sack so that
1t Is only moist. Hang this on one
shoulder and every leaf picked
should be put Immediately into the
sack. When the infested spots have
been gone over burn sack and all.
This requires comparatively little
time and labor and prevents much
damage. Do not carry infested
leaves or stalks over the field be-
cause this is an effective, way OF
spreading 1t. There is little danger
OF spreading the pests from the
kerosene sack.

TEN SUGGESTIONS FOR MILK
CONSUMERS.

Clemson College. August p
l. Buy only the best milk OBJ
tainable. 1t is cheapest in the long
run.
2. Consult the health department
before selecting your milk dealer.
3. Buy only bottled milk if pos
sible. Dipped milk is often dirty and
deficient in cream.
4. Take milk into the house as
soon as it is delivered, and place
1t in the refrigerator Immediately.
Bacteria increase rapidly in milk
which stands in the sun or warns
up, and such milk will sour quickly.
s. Keep milk in the original bot
tie until the moment OF serving.
Milk which has been poured from
the bottle should not be returned
to it.
6. Keep the bottle covered with
paper cap or an inverted tumbler.
to prevent the entrance OF flies and
dust, which may carry dangerous
bacteria into the milk.
Z. Keep the refrigerator clean
and sweet by means of proper drain
age and frequent washing with
scalding water and sal soda, since
plilk quickly absorbs unpleasant
odors and becomes less ralatable.
8. Wash Inilk bottle as soon as
eEptied, by rinsing first with luke
warm water and then With hot wa
ter, II there Is any infectious dis
ease in your house, do not return
any bottle except with the knowl-
edge OF the health department and
under conditions which 1t may pre-
scribe
8. Return empty bottle promptly,
and do not Use them for anything
except milk. Remember that they
are the property of the dealer and
represent cash.
10. Remember that clean milk.
properly cared for, is one of the best
foods obtainable. 1t is nourishing,
digestible, and usually economical.

Negro With Ticket 25S.

Negro With Ticket 25S.
York, July 3O.-Despondent be-
cause he will be summoned this week
to appear in York next Monday for
examination as to his fitness for army
service and dreading the idea Of go
ing to war, John Wilson, No. 258.
a negro, of the Hoodtown section, the
first person in the western district OF
selective draft law Friday, July 20,
attempted to commit suicide last
week by hanging himself.
Wilson, who is about twenty-five
years of age and who is said to
hardly possess average intelligence,
is in the employ of Mr.. William
Hayes, OF the Hoodtown section. 1t
is understood that he has been wor-
rying much since he learned that he
was the first man drawn for army
duty in the western district.
According to a story told by sew
eral negroes who live in the neigh
borhood in which Wilson resides, the
negro tied a moose around his neck
and was preparing to suspend him
self when other parties interfered.
That occurred early last week and
since then Wilson is said to have
made two other unsuccessful at
tempts to end his life. He told sew
eral persons Friday that he had three
balls in his pistol and II am going
to put one in my wife and another in
my child and the other in myself be-
fore let them take me to war"
Wilson is being watched closely
People who know him believe that
the draft and the idea OF going to
war has so preyed on his mind that
he has been driven insane temper
arily at least, and there is little pos
sibility now that he will be accepted
for army service.

The reason that Texas fever ticks
can remain on animals other than
cattle without producing the disease,
Is because these animals are not
susceptible to Texas fever. Num-
erous experiments have shown that
only bovines (cattle) contract the
Texas fever, so 1t is not difficult to
understand why other hosts can be
infected with impunity.
