LONG FIGHT FOR HEALTH
.REWARDEDBY RECOVERY
GRATEFUL LETTER FROM LEEDS,
ALA, WOMAN TELLS OF UNUSUAL
LY INTERESTING CASE.

Mrs T J Mackey, wife of T J
Mackey merchant of Leeds, Ala, is a
happy woman today and is brimful
of the JOY of living again aftera long
siege of illness.
For several years, she writes,
Il was sufferer and in spite of the
efforts of my doctor it seemed that
nothing was going to help me.
/ was confined to my bed many
months. My hands had turned
black and scaly. | was very nervous
and my head ached all the time. Up
to this time they had not known
what my disease was, but at last de-
cided that it was pellagra.
Then l started taking Sulferro-
Sol ,and it was apparent at once that
it was going to help me get well. |

that | am we'll and free from every
symptom of the disease. My folks
are amazed to see me out in the
fields again and looking after my
housework. 1t seems very wonder
full to ne, and l am sure | can as
cribe my recovery to Sulferro-Sol
and nothing else.
This is the greatest remedy |
ever heard of, and it will heal when
everything else falls

To Sustain Cotton Prices.

No one expects the American farm.
er to produce foods for charitable
motives. 1t is no duty of the farm
ers to raise corn and potatoes al
greater sacrifice than other mer
make for their country's sake.
: If the supply of food shall continue
short, the people of the world willgc
naked before they will 60 hungry.
They can and they will get along
with their old clothes many a long
day and month.
If corn shall sell at So a bushel
and other foods in proportion, little
money will be left to buy cloth. If
the people of Great Britain, France
and the United States shall be com.
PEELED to spend their money for food
with what will they buy clothes?
In other words. the only way to
sustain the price of cotton is to raise
enough food to enable the consumers
to fill their stomachs and have money
left with which to buy clothes. too
For two years the German and
Austro-Hungarian empireshave man
aged to subsist without cotton, and
they are not starving for cotton now
The peoples of other countries car
live without cotton-and they will
live without it ifthey can n'totherwise
keep soul and body together with
bread and meat.
That is the cotton problem for the
farmer to ponder who does not be-
lieye what is being said about the
food shortage.
If the country should be threaten
ed with famine the cotton farmer
would discover that the seed of his
cotton would fetch more than the lint.
Cotton seed is a food. You can't eat
the fabric. The State.

REGISTER YOUR
MOTOR VEHICLE
BY JULY 1-OTHERWISE 1T WILL
BE UNLAWFUL TO DRIVE 1T
AFTER THAT DATE.

Atl MA L LA Z.
In accordance with the act,appro-
we'd February 20, 1917. creating
State Highway Department, every
owner of a motor vehicle and every
dealer in motor vehicles is required
to register with the State Highway
Engineer on or before the first of
July 1917. The law provides that
each owner of a motor vehicle and
each dealer in motor vehicles shall
make application to the State High
way Engineer for registration and
license. The State Highway Engi-
neer will furnish these application
blanks on request.
The law further provides that on
and after the first of July that any
person who drives motor vehicle
on, or along. or across any public
road, or street. or highway in the
State of South Carolina, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and shall be punished by fine of
not more than $500. or imprison-
ment for not more than Is DAYS for
each and every offense.
The State HigHay Engineer is
anxious to register these motor
vehicles as fast as possible. and to
cause as little inconvenience to the
the public as possible, however.
there are about 10000 cars in this
State to be registered. and to regis
ter this number of cars will take at
least two months of time. AS there
are now only about two and one
half months between now and the
first of July. and as no one will be
allowed to drive motor vehicle
on the public highways after the
first of July unless duly licensed and
registered, the State highway en-.
gineer desires to urge every owner
of a motor vehicle and every dealer
in motor vehicles to make applica-
ton for registration at once in order
that his office may be able to COM
plete the registration of motor vehi-
cles by the first of July.
The registration fees for owners
of motor vehicles will be l24c per
horse power, based on an A L A M
rating. The registration fees for
dealers in motor vehicles will be
$500 for each make of motor ve-
hicle sold. 1t will not cost any more
to register car now than it will to
register the same car during the
last part of June. Every owner of
a motor vehicle is urgently request
ed to write to the State highway
engineer at once requesting appli-
cation blanks.
The registration and license fees
paid to the State highway engineer
are in lieu of all other State, munic-
ipal and county licenses for the en-
tire year of 1917.

Planting Shade Trees.
c.. H. TAYLOR.
County Agent.

Declaring that the State- Roads Com
mission favors the planting of trees,
Chairman Zouck, in letter sent State
Forester Beasley. Monday night, goes
on to say:
We have had a number of requests
from various parts of the state for per-
mission to plant trees along the state
highways, the various communities de
string to take advantage of your gene
rous offer to furnish mile CT trees in
each county - In view of these requests
it became ,essary for the State
Roads Comm. ssion to take some action
in connection with this matter.
Shade trees are all right, and they
would be quite an ornament for our
state roads, but if they are planted
closer than "a feet, when they become
large they will interfere with the
drainage of the road and the water
dripping from the trees, together with
the shade, will keep the roads wet for
a long while after rain and this will
iniure the tarred surface and cause it
to rot and slough off. For these reas
ons we thought it wise to establish some
rule in connection with this matter in
order that there will be no trouble OF
confusion later on.

How to Set a Hen

As the time approaches for the hen
to become broody or sit, if care is taken
to look into the nest, it will be seen
that there are few soft, doWnY feath-
ers being left there by the hen; also the
hen stays longer on the nest when lay
ing at this time, and on being approach
ed will quite likely remain on the nest,
making clucking noise, ruffilng he
feathers, and picking at the intruder.
When it is noted that a hen sits on the
the nest from two to three nights Ill
succession, and that most of the feathers
are gone from her breast, which should
feel not to the hand, she is ready to be
transferred to u nest which has been
prepared for her beforehand, 0ccord
ing to the poultry specialists of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture. The
normal temperature of hen is from
JOG to 107 degrees F., which varies
slightly during incubation.
Dust the hen thoroughly with insect
powder, and in applying the powder
hold tie hen by the feet, the head dpwn
working the powder we'll into the
feathers, giving special attention to
regions around the vent and under the
wings. The powder should also b.
sprinkled in the nest.
The nest should be in some q1iet, out
| of-the-way place, where the sIttiAg hen
| will not be distul bed. Move her from
the regular laying nest at night and
| handle her carefully III doing 50. Put d

Since the home gardening movement
began throughout the country as
means to meet the increased cost of
food, the Department of Agriculture
has been swamped with hundreds of
thousands Of requests for free seed.
Officials Of the department say that
unfortunately they have no seeds to
distribute. The free seeds provided by
Congr IS are distributed as members
of Congress themselves direct and this
years supply Of about 100000 worth
was long ago exhausted. Nomore free
seeds viii be available until late in the
