CLUMSY CAMP COOKS
CUT THEIR FINGERS
Warriors Don't Mind. A>Little Drop
or Two of Medicinal Iron Stops
Bleeding; Heals it Too.
HANDIEST LITTLE BOTTLE YOU
EVER HAD IN THE HOUSE.

T In camp the clumsy cooks assist
ant, trying to peel potatoes, cuts his
finger, blood spurts, but warriors are
efficient. A few drops of medicinal
iron, highly concentrated and known
as Acid Iron Mineral, poured over the
cut stops the bleeding, leaves no stain
like Iodine and best of all prevents
soreness, infection and acts as quick
and sure healing agent
Try it at home It works like magic
on old sores that don't heal. SWeaty,
tired, tender, bruised and bleeding
feet, covered with, corns and bun
ions, after the long hike, hurt like
everything but again we find that
highly concentrated cheap and eff
cient iron does the trick. Several
thousand tests prove it not only
brought relief, but cured. After that
good shoes and common sense keep
feet feeling glad.
Druggists sell Acid Iron Mineral
for family use in fifty cent and dollar
size bottles. It will prove the hand
est little bottle of medicine you ever
had around the house.
You can get large bottle prepaid

A we'll known national advertiser
using space in The Bamberg Herald
says: I've are pleased to note that
your publication is bringing results.
Mr.. Local Advertiser, space used in
The Herald will bring you equally as
good, and doubtless better results;
for the concern referred to has been
advertising a very uncommon arti-
Gle, and one for which there is no
large demand.
The Herald urges the farmers to
attend the tobacco meeting to be held
in Bamberg next Friday. Unavoid-
able circumstances compelled the
postponement of the meeting which
was to have been held last week.
1t will be great thing for Bamberg
county if a tobacco market can be
established here. Mr.. Ring, the to-
bocca expert employed by the Sou
thern railway, told The Herald the
other day that with the exceptional
demand at the present time for to-
bacco he felt sure the tobacco houses
would send buyers here if as much
as 800 acres of tobacco is planted
next year. Ordinarily they would
not do so, however. The wise farm
er will begin to make preparations
to fight the boil weevil before the
weevil gets here. There is no bet
ter way of fighting the weevil than
by planting other crops than cotton.
Tobacco is equally as profitable as
cotton, and Mr.. Ring says, from his
Investigations and observations, that
Bamberg county lands are as we'll
adapted to tobacco raising as the
Pee Dee lands. Even if the weevil
never comes, tobacco would be a
most profitable crop for this county.
It is sold and marketed before cot
ton picking even begins, and the most
of the work is done when there is
little work to be done on the cotton
crops. If the movement can get
started, the county can have two
money crops instead of one. Tobac-
co is sold right in the middle of sum-
mer, the dullest time of the year in
Bamberg.

LOOKING FOR A LONG WAR.
No Expectation at Washington of
Any Early Peace.

When will the war end? Prophecy
and prediction go unheeded nova
days, because the factors are so
multiplex as to make forecasts seem
mere guesses. But there are certain
tangible facts on which a judgment
of the maximum and minimum
duration of the war can be based.
These facts are available only to the
officials of the United States gov
ernment. 1t is neither wise nor
necessary that publicity be given to
them, but certain conclusions, certain
inferences, certain opinions can be
drawn form an analysis of what the
true facts of the war tell.
The writer has canvassed officials,
high and low-men whose opinions
might seem to be worth while; at
any rate, the we'll informed indivi-
duals whose names, if given, would
carry weight with the average man.
There are more people who assert
definitely when the war will not be
over than when it will be. There are
many persons in the government who
can advise you what the United States
and the Allies intend to do in the
next three years than can possibly
forecast what will happen inside of
Germany in the next three years.
Two methods of approaching
Judgment are invariably given-one,;
the military and economic powers of
endurance of the Teutonic allies, and,
two, the military and economic re-
sources or future strength of the Uni
ted States and the Entente Allies.
Taking the first, it can be definitely
stated that most people in Washing
ton do not know a thing about inter-
nal conditions in Germany. They can
not say positively that German man
power is weakening or that her re-
markable interior organization is dis
integrating. They literally do not
know. If President Wilson knows
there is nothing to indicate that he
believes Germany is beaten or on the
verge of collapse. Baked, but not
defeated" was the way he referred to
Germany in his reply to the Pope.
Nothing has happended since then to
change his opinion.
AS to Plans Of Allies.
On the other hand there is great
deal of valuable information safely
secreted in the minds of high officials
as to the plans and purposes of the
Allies. Without explaining or intimat-
ing in the slightest degree the nature
of these plans, it is permissible to
say that they specify in detail what is
to be done in the remainder of 1917,
what is to be undertaken Immediately
in 1918 and carried through to the
next December and then comprehend
certain other things for the year
1919. Also general idea even pre-
walls of what must be accomplished
in the spring of 1920. Obviously,
such plans are military. They look
three years ahead.
But, they will say, it is the busl-
ness of the military establishment to
plan far in advance. So it is. But

A F4nEMAN.s SUIT OF WATER

From the Popular Science Monthly.
 The Cincinnati fire department has been testing a new safety dress for firemen. The man who wears it can stand right ir the midst of flames. He need not fear the glowing embers around his feet. He can walk into fire and it will dwin- dle away and go out around him.
 The dress is made of fireproofed canvas ot two thieknesses between which water flows constantly. The water enters by means of perforated brass tube which encircles the neck between the two thick nesses of canvas and flows down between the layers through the arms and legs, finding exits at the finger tips and around the soles of the feet.
 Water flowing only between the two | thicknesses of canvas would not offer complete protection to the wearer. To
 keep him cool and comfortable while standing in the hottest fire, two brass perforted tubes encircle the helmet and give him constant shower bath from
 the outside as well as within the folds
 of the uniform. This not only keeps him 1 from becoming overheated but also ex-
 tirguished the fire around him.

Too Much Waste
 On Average Farm

WAFFLE there has been wonder
 w ful improvement in farm methods in this country in recent years, still a great deal of food is wasted on the average farm and too little attention is paid to cultivating the small hooks and corners. Every husbandman should practice business like economies and learn the value of food conservation.
 As a part of war preparedness every industry, including agriculture, is expected to give a good account of itself. That was timely appeal which Secretary Houston made Tues day to the farmers of America fol the elimination of waste and the con- servation of surplus food. Both for economic and patriotic reasons the American farmer should strive this 4
 year for the highest standard of eff ficiency in the production and con | servation of food" said MT. Houston "Under the conditions in which this country now finds itself it is impor. tant that everything practical be done to increase the efficiency of agricul tural activities during the coming season."
 The Secretary urged, among othel things, that plans be made for stor- age necessities of sweet potatoes. O1 the usual annual crop of about 50,000,

HOTEL LOBBIES
A Striking Contrast |,

T greatly enjoyed ex-President Tafts speech at the Tutwiler Satur- day afternoon said Judge R.. F. Watts.
 Taft is a good citizen and his re- marks upon any topic are always such as to command attention and have weight. He desires to be of assistance in solving national problems rather than a hindrance to the administra- tion; and his long experience in exec utive matters should make his coun- sel most valuable to the citizens as we'll as officials of the United States al any crisis. He is cool and collected, has an analytical mind. just the re- verse to that of the impulsive and crafty politician such as Roosevelt. In fact, the contrast in type of states manship could hardly be stronger than in these two ex-Presidents-Ro the demagogue and Taft the judicious councillor.

BURNS INCONSISTENT IN LOVE

From the London Telegraph.
 Burns love affairs were both the product and the inspiration of his genius. Although he had written to C1arinda of Edinburgh that, compared with her, Jean Armour was as the ex- piring glimmer of farthing taper be-
 side the glory of the meridian sun, he
 married Jean within two months. Last year at Sothebys letter written a week after his marriage, vindicating
 Jean entirely, fetched S550. A few days ago curious Burns letter was offered, date June 26, 1788 (Burns was married August 3, 17SS), in which he states: q have waited on MT. Aud about my marriage affair and stated that I was | legally fined for an irregular marriage | by justice of the peace. He says if l l bring an attestation of this by the two witnesses there shall be no more liti- I gation about it." The legal" marriage
 which followed August was appar- ently the solution of the trouble Doubts raised in the auction room as
 to the authenticity of the letter were | dispelled
