Paris, March 19.-The German line at
last accounts was in full retreat over
a section which represents one-fifth of
the vast front from Switzerland to the
sea. closely pressed by the French and
British. French troops advancing with
the precision of a machine along a
forty mile front have recaptured many
square miles and many towns of i'm
portance, accomplishing this with small
loss to themselves.
In the Lassigny region, west Of
Roye, the Germans appear to have
made only a weak defense. since the
French were able to push forward
thirteen miles at one bound.

An Old Mans Stomach.
Commissioner.

AS we grow older ana less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
ach will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced & of 85 o roo, you
will find that he is a Eighth eater.
Be a scareful as you will, however,
you will OCCASIONALLY eat NOR than
you should and will feel the need Of
Chamberlain's Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin, but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
a gentle movement Of the bowels.

COMMUNICATION ABOUT
THE CEMETERY.

Dear Sentinel:
In days gone by you have helped
the Ladies' Cemetery Association
generously in caring for u beau
tiful white city on the hill. We
are knocking at the door for another
favor, assured that we shall receive
the same courtesy and kindness
shown us in the past.
We, the L. C. A.. are planning our
work for another year believing that
preparedness, so s~plendidly taught by
our great government, is the key
note to all great success.
Our sexton who has served US well
and for many years, has resigned and
said that no inducement could alter
his decision. We must look else
where and we think we have found
one who has had experience and who
comes well recommended.
Every change is a trial but the
L. c. A. has been tried and given
evidence of ability, devotion and
trustworthiness. We earnestly de-
sire every member Of the Associa-
ton to prove her appreciation OF
work done and responsibility borne
by standing solidly by US, the execu-
tive committee, in this change. We
call upon the citizens of the town who
have or may have loved ones there.
to aid us by joining the Association,
by donation, by their moral support
and above all by kindly consideration
and forebearance. We ask the CO.
operation of Garner & Sharp, under
takers, and of the Odd Eel
lows. The perpetuity of the organi-
cation demands that there shall not
be a divided interest.
We have shown the retiring sexton
every consideration possible, acced-
ing to almost every request and we
regret the necessity for a change but
feel that he is not the only one pos
sible and that he should retire entire
ly and leave the are of the sacred
place to the ladies who have done for
him. these years. the best they could.

HI SOUTH'S LOSS.

Not a single pound of cottonseed
meal will be shipped out of any of
u Southern States in which it is
produced when our farmers realize it's
worth for feeding animals and plants.
Yet at present only a fraction of the
supply is used here. By far the
larger portion of it goes to the
North and West as cottonseed meal,
or across the ocean in the form of
cottonseed meal and cake. If those
feeders a afford to pay the high
prices which include the extra freight,
handling and commissions, how much
more can our Southern farmers af-
ford to use it? Live stock and dairy
should consume here all our cotton
by-product, and make enough manure
to restore lands to full yields.
This way leads to prosperity.-South-
ern Farmer.

TUBERCULOSIS SUBJECTS
AND RED CROSS SEALS

The sale of Red Cross seals this
year should treble that of 1916.
Throughout the nation the import
ance of tuberculosis work has been
intensified because of the war. The
United States must act promptly and
efficiently or it will find itself hand
icapped and actually honeycombed
with tuberculosis. France is strick-
en- with the "white plague" to a far
greater extent than wounds inflicted
upon the battle field. The tubercu-
losis death rate in Berlin has in
creased more than fifty per cent.
London is graphing with the same
problem. Far more Red Cross seal
money with which to fight tubercu-
losis in this country is needed this
lar than ever before.
On March 90, 1917. Lord Shaugh-
messy. President of the Canadian Pa
cific Railway, thus described the con-
ditions in the Dominion: "As many
Canadians have been killed at home
by tuberculosis since the war began
as have been killed by the war itself
Yet it is an entirely p~reventable dis.
ease.
"More than 1000 French sol
diers have been sent back from tn,
firing line because they were so il
with tuberculosis that they were M
! longer able to fight. Our men, Mis-
sissippi men, too, will fall victims O
this disease through the hardships o
life in the trenches. They are offer
ing their lives for US, for every man
woman and child in your community
Will we do all that we can do to nurs
them back to life and happiness whel
they come to us broken in health
Each community in Mississippi surel,
is too proud, too big of heart, to-
deeply conscious of it's obligation t
its W flesh and blood to refuse ad
equate provision for its returned tn
b%erculosis soldiers. Money from Re
Cross Seals will open the way TO
thise service.

NEW PRICES OF ICE.

Due to the increased cost of coal,
high labor wages and the scarcity
of labor, we are forced to put in eff
feet December /, 1917, the follow-
ing new prices on ice:
Soda Founts, Butcher Shops, 40c
per 100.
Grocery Stores Having tickets)
45c per 100 in 100 lot.
Grocer Stores. less than 100 ID S. at
time, 60 per 100.
Residents (Having tickets SOC per
100 in 100 lot.
Residents from 25 ID S. to rs fb S.,
Coo per 100.
All ice delivered in lob lot, SC.
We regret exceedingly that we are
forced to have to take this step but
we feel that the public can under
stand and will appreciate u posi-
ton in the matter. We do not want
the people to feel that just because
we have no competition that we raise
our prices whenever we get ready.
The fact is we have delayed raising
our prices just as long as we possibly
could, they are already and have
been for some time in effect at other
places.
We take this occasion to thank
the good people of Grenada and vi
for their patronage in the
past and ask the same consideration
in the future.
