men certainly do hang together"
according to Brown, who is quoted
in Tit-Bits.
For instance, I have a friend
who lives in a suburb where many
wealthy folks live. Recently he
had a motor accident at a lonely
spot on the road, where he found it
impossible to reach a telephone to
notify his wife.
"Now, it happened that he was
happily married, very domesticated,
and no; accustomed to staying out
at night. So at midnight his wife
became very nervous. She dis
patched the following telegram to
five of her husbands best friends
in the city: Jack hasn't come
home. Am worried. Is he spend
ing the night with you?:"
Soon after this her husband ar
rived home and explained the cause
of his delay. While he was talk
ing a boy brought in five answers
to her kilograms. all worded prac'
tically as follows: Yes, Jack is
spending the night with me-"

The Flag at the Front.

Into the seething hell of flame
Mid the dust and CRIME of the bat
ties smoke
Where the kissing shells like serpents
And the deadly fumes of the gases
broke.
He came, his young face set and pale,
A light in his eyes from another
world;
In his heart the courage that cannot
fail,
In his hands his country's flag I'M
furled.
The first to carry the Stars and
Stripes
To the enemy's front, through the
trench's mire,
And what cared he if he died that
night.
And what cared he if a nation wept
For a brave young son of the Lore
Star state!
He knew that his pledge of faith was
kept,
He had blazed the trail for the path
of Fate.

Concerning Making Speeches.

In closing a brief but comprehensive
statement before the senate Monday,
urging 1.-The adoption of his nitrate
amendment to the food bill, Senator
Tillman said: eff 1 were to talk two
hours, l could not say more, and
have long since learned in making
speeches when l can not say anything
worth while or to stop" Would
that many other persons who speak in
public had learned the important les
son that Senator Tillman has learned!
Instead of delivering a discourse OF
reasonable length, combining himself to
a concise and logical treatment OF MS
theme, the average public speaker re-
peats, or dwells upon minor details, or
digresses, until he has spoken an I'M
reasonable length of time, exhausting
the patience of his audience and mar
ring the good effects of the first half
hour of his speech. Most audiences OF
to-day are composed of men and wor.en
who are more intelligent from every
standpoint than were audiences of two
or three decades ago. And for that
reason, the public speaker of to-day
must, as Senator Tillman says, have
something new, something original,
something worth while, to say, if he
would make a favorable impression
upon and edify his hearers.
A concise, to-the-point speech of a
half-hour or three-quarters, which
bears the hallmark of careful study and
research, is worth more than an hour
and a half of desultory declarations
that are devoid of special interest or
value.
The Advertiser AYERS too that some
editors, like some speakers, should
learn the priceless art of being reason
ably brief. This IS too. strenuous an age
to infict long editorials upon readers.
Let them be condensed into reasonable
compass and they will be readl and
digested by a larger number of ger
Away with the long-winded
speech and the long-drawn-out edi-
torlal. They have no place in the
modern economy" of things.

White Elem Sentenced to ~Penitentiary.

The unexpected has happened. Six
white men were committed to the State
penitentiary last week from Charles
tonf for violating the prohibition law.
Their sentences range from two to SIX
months. This is an evidence that
Charleston has undergone a wonderful
change in the matter of law enforce
ment. Not many years ago 1T was
impossible to find a Charleston grand
Jury that would send up a true bill in
liquor cases. But it is quite different
now. The law abiding men of Char
lesion, aroused to a sense of duty large
ly through the Charleston press and
through the efforts of Governor Man
ming, are now asserting themselves. A
wholesome public sentiment for a bet
ter enforcement of all laws, particu-
larly the prohibition law, has been
created, and as a result when men are
brought before Charleston juries for
selling liquor they are convicted, if the
testimony warrants a conviction. The

Advertiser sincerely hopes that the
better element of Charleston's citizen
shin will continue to be the dominant
element. There are no better people
anywhere in the world than many OF
the Charleston people and the reigning
of the lawless element of the city I'M
der the old regime must have been un-
speakably humiliating to those who
were opposed to such a condition OF
affairs.
1t was a great day for law and order
in Charleston when six white men
were sent to the penitentiary for vio-
lating the law. May this wholesome
public sentiment continue to grow in
Charleston, the grand old "city by the
sea

Read carefully all patent medi-

Read carefully all patent medi-
cine labels to see if they contain
alcohol. The law requires that all
medicines containing alcohol must
be so labeled for the protection of
the public, thus CHASING alcohol as
other dangerous, harmful and habit
forming drugs.
The American Medical Associa-
ton, composed of the foremost men
in the medical profession, came out
with the statement in their recent
meeting that alcohol is of no value
in medicine, either as a drug or a
stlmuiant. A recent Investigation,
conducted in the Bellevue Hospital,
New York, disclosed the fact that
of 269 alcoholic patients examined
per cent. more than half,
began to drink before twenty-one
years of age. As a result physi-
clans all over the country refuse to
prescribe alcohol under any condi-
ton.

As has been shown many acquire

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
average person imagines.
Iron, of course, is the greatest
blood purifier and strengthened
known. On the other hand alcohol
is perhaps the deadliest poison to
the tissue of the human system. 1t
counteracts the efficiency of the
iron and makes the condition worse.

off if given just plain beef. The
reason for the fallacy that beef,
wine and iron is efficiency is that
the alcohol it cantains imparts a
feeling Of stimulation and quickens
the heart action, a temporary condi-
ton lasting as long as the alcoholic
affects the senses. That is why one
must use such preparations contin-
uously, SO that the artificial stimu-
lation may be kept up. The result
often brings on a case of alcohol
ism.
1t would be more beneficial in
such cases to use a natural iron
preparation free from the dangers
of alcohol or other habit-forming
drugs. For those who may be
weak, anemic, run down, or suffer-
ing from stomach, kidney or blad-
der trouble, or poor impoverished
blood, an iron tonic of known
