For Peace
sy Z. X. HITCHCOCK

II is not generally known that there is
an Emergency Peace Federation in the
United States and that il has since March
10, had within its organization an unof-
fetal commission which has sought by all
means in its power to avert war.
Altho the notice was short David Starr
Jordan responded at once and came from
California 10 act as its chairman.
II believes that the great contribution
that this country can make to civilization
during the present war is the champion
ship Of neutral rights, and an interna-
tonal organization to guarantee fu-
ture peace-a policy in accordance with
the best American ideals and the prime
achievements of American diplomacy, in
GLIDING those of the administrations of
Washington, Adams, Lincoln, Cleveland
and Wilson.
II believes that the true patriots Of
America have on their hands the biggest
fight that has ever been waged against
militarism and high finance
The Emergency Peace Federation ap-
peals to the west and middle west which
proved last November that the country
could decide its policies without the vote
and help of Wall street interests.
The following letter has been drawn mp
by the commission and forwarded to the
President:
ITO the President:
I'VE earnestly press upon you that
when congress convenes you lead and
clarity public opinion, now not only con-
fused but Intentionally misled and in con-
flicting directions.
I'VE urge that you analyze the interna-
tional situation for the benefit both of
congress and of the public at large, ak
pressing the desire TO keep alive interna-
tional law and to make effective protest
against ruthlessness and lawlessness.
I'VE beg you to set forth the signih-
canoe of the conflicting policies publicly
urged upon congress, that in making de-
cision il may clear its purposes to itself
and to the public.
For instance. if war should come,
what of the following questions
Should the United States form an al
lance, informal or formal, with the En-
tente Allies? Or enter the war without
any understanding with them. or how
should it proceed?
Should this country enter the war to
establish the right of neutrals TO defend
by force of arms their commerce with
belligerents?
Should this country enter the war for
the purpose of underwriting foreign
bonds, as is now urged by officers of the
Federal Reserve bank?
What, precisely and clearly. is the
purpose of the war if il comes? And on
what terms would we consent at any
time to a settlement?
I'VE recall that last summer, when mil
lions of your fellow citizens could see no
outcome of the Mexican crisis except war
with Mexico--on the innocent and the
guilty alike-you announced that that
was the long way and the wrong way
to settle international issues, making
mere might the basis of settlements,
arousing hatreds and leading the citizens
of the nation against which war is de-
clared to feel it an imperative, patriotic
duty to defend their fatherland
We believe that the same principles
hold good in the present crisis, and we
look to you in earnest hope for their real
ization.

A LETTER FROM REV. GARVIN.
Whitmire, S. c.. Nav 2S 1917

Whitmire, S. c., May 2S, 1917.
Union Times:
l noticed in your paper that | was
in Clinton, S. c., assisting Rev. G.. c..
Wilbanks in a meeting. This was a
mistake for at the time I read it Dr..
Ray Palmer, one of the Home Board
evangelists, was here with me in a
series of meetings.
Brother Wilbanks wanted me to as
sist him but l could not, at the time
he wanted me, owing to previous
promises. So he had the assistance
of Rev. w. E. Ferqueron.
Brother Rice, the latest from the
doctors say that if nothing happens
they feel sure the son can soon leave
the hospital for home, as he has
greatly improved since going there.
/ hope your and my many friends
over in Union are we'll and happy.
This leaves myself and family as we'll
as usual.
The many friends of Mr.. j.. M. Mil
wood will be much grieved to know
that his aged mother had the mis-
fortune to have cane stuck in the
corner of her eye yesterday by little
grandson. 1t was purely accidental
and the little boy who did it is deep
ly grieved to know he hurt his grand
mother, whomthey all love SO much.
The doctor was called; he hopes
she will not lose the sight although it
gives her much pain. But we all
pray that she may soon get we'll
again.
Our church and Sunday school work
here seems to be going along very
we'll. l occasionally trouble the
water. Pray for US; come and see us
and preach for us. May God bless you
and His cause in our State.

muscles lack tone. They become ner-
vous, irritable, respondent, melan-
choly, the brain fags, and the memory
fails. Therefore if you wish to pre-
serve your youthful vim, vigor and vi
tality, to a ripe old age, you must
supply the deficiency of Phosphates
lacking in your food by using Argo-
Phosphate, the form of Phosphates
most easily assimilated.
NOTICE.: Argo-Phosphate which is
recommended and prescribed by ply
sicians in all enemic cases, is not a
secret or patent medicine, but one that
is sold and recommended by we'll
known druggists everywhere, and ply
sicians are daily subscribing the con-
stituents contains in it. Being entire
ly unlike many other Phosphates, it is
easily assimilated and will be found
effective in the treatment of indiges-
ton and stomach troubles, as we'll as
for care worn, nervous conditions. The
manufacturers of Argo-Phosphate will
forfeit to any charitable institution
$4,000 if they cannot treat any man
or woman under 65 who lacks Phos-
pilates, and increase their strength and
endurance from 100 per cent. to 300
per cent. or more in one months time,
if they are free from organic trouble.
1t is dispensed by all reliable drug
gists.

Pale Faced Women Take Phosphates to Make Rosy
q Cheeks and Beautiful Forms
Men Need Phosphates to Make Strong, Healthy,
Vigorous Bodies.
Athletes Increase Their Strength
Simply Taking of Argo Phosphate

Atlanta, Ga. DR.. F. A. Jacobson
says that Phosphates are just as cs-
sential to any man or woman who tires
easily, is nervous, or irritatable, worn
out, or looks haggard and pale to make
strong, robust, vigorous healthy
body, as they are to cotton to make it
grow. The lack of Phosphate is the
cause of all enemic conditions and the
administration of 5-grain Argo- Phos-
phate tablets will increase the strength
and endurance of weak, nervous, care
worn men and women 800 per cent. in
two or three weeks time in many in
stances, and their continued use will
build up the whole nervous system,
and give new life, vim, vigor, and vi
tality to the whole body. 1 always
prescribe Argo-Phosphate to patients
who are pale and colorless, and it is
surprising to see how quickly a few
weeks treatment will transform a pale
face to rosy checked beauty. There
can be no rosy checked, healthy, beau
tiful women, without their system is
sufficiently supplied with Phosphates.
In recent interviews with physicians
on the grave and serious consequences
of deficiency of Phosphates in the
blood of American men and women, I
have strongly emphasized the fact that
doctors should prescribe more phos-
pilates in the form of Argo-Phos phate
for weak, worn out, haggard-looking
men and women. When the skin is
pale, and flesh flabby, it is sign of
anema. When the phosphates go from
the blood, the pink cheeks go too. The

First Visit to Columbia Since War.

Mr.. I. w. Rentz, of the Ehrhardt
section, was in the city Saturday, and
paid The Herald visit. Mr.. Rentz
had just returned from Columbia,
where he went to visit relatives. This
was Mr.. Rentz's first visit to the Car
olina capital since the War Between
the States. His previous visit to Co.
lumbia was under much different cir
cumstances.. He was with his COM
mand at Greensboro, N. c., at the
time of the surrender. He walked
to Columbia, where he signed a pa
role. At that time Mr.. Rentz said
the business district of Columbia was
Immediately in front of the capital
building. The city now bears no re-
semblance to the town where he re-
ceived his parole in 1865. Mr.. Rentz
is 80 years of age, but he is very &C
tive, and does not look day over 10.
He has many friends in Bamberg, and
though he does not come to town Of
ten, they are always glad to see him,
and trust that he may be able to make
his annual trip for many years yet.
