If we all understand the proper

probably be healthier nation. The
trouble with sugar is that most OF us
eat it in such way and at such a
time that 1t spoils our appetite for
more substantial food
But sugar. in spite of all the harm
that it does when eaten in excess,
should be recognized as one of the
greatest helps in counteracting fa-
tigue. Sweet and milk chocolate are
supplied literally to the soldiers-as
much for the sugar as for the choco-
late. And various sorts of sugar candy
are given to them. And some women,
desirous to help the soldiers to the
best of their ability, heard of this
demand for sweets and turned their
attention from knitting needles and
worsteds to candy kettles and sugar,
and turned out homemade fudge by the
pound for the soldiers.

Her Casual Smile Changed to Wild Excitement.

He lowered his eyes before her. and
then spoke suddenly: 1T is too cold
for you I'll get your furs.''
He tried to lead her inside. She re-
fused. There seemed nothing for him
to do but leave her there and go for
her wraps
She stared at the crowd, then on sud
den impulse ran down the steps to
policeman standing on the walk. Tim
idly she tapped him on the arm. "The
man who just went by so hurriedly-
he was poorly dressed, had n slouch
hat and beard. did you see which
way he went?" she asked.
The policeman pointed to the right
and Gloria started Immediately to run
that way. The streets were i'll lit and
poor, but she hurried on with hardly
Il glance at her surroundings. To lose
the real murderer now was unthink-
able to her; to have had him there in
the very arms of the law, the man
whom she had seen actually do her
lover to death, only to have him es-
cape again, drove her into a frenzy.
She ran on, peering into dark door
ways and alleys. Judge Freeman,
whom she had watched all evening
mete out punishment to far lesser
crimes, had actually made no effort,to
catch this demon for her. What was
the mystery of it all? Why We're they
all in league to thwart her and to re-
fuse vengeance on Dicks slayer?
Her brain was whirling, her search
ing eyes ached and burned as they
peered vainly ahead for the dread fig
ure of the tramp. So absorbed was
| Gloria in her pursuit that she gave
no thought to the dangers she was
exposing herself to, and the dangers
| were many. 1t was a bad district a
very hotbed of crime and poverty.
The hour was midnight and she was
alone-a young and beautiful woman
carrying money and jewels, as well
as her own priceless girlhood, but the
impetus of her search carried her on
without thought for her own safety.
Doctor Royce and her father had
returned with her wraps to the court
house steps only to find her gone, and
wild with anxiety, they started reck-
lessly in pursuit, each taking a differ
ent direction. By misfortune neither
of them was right.
Meanwhile Gloria fastened on. She
actually caught a glimpse of the tramp
ahead of her; he was lettering in a
doorway gnawing a crust of bread
hupgrily, and she redoubled her speed
but he started on and turned the cor
ner of a street while she was in the
middle of a block and when she got
there he was nowhere in sight.
Suddenly she realized she was tired
and weak, that she could actually go
no farther, and that she must rest. AS
she slackened her pace she was
alarmed at seeing rough-looking
man cross the street toward her; he
reeled as he came on, so that she was
further aroused to danger at thinking
him under the influence of liquor.
She did not know that this was one of
the numerous lodges of the pickpocket
and that she would have been safer
with an actually intoxicated man. She
looked up and down the street as far
as she could see, but there were no
policemen IN sight, and, hearing steps

"of course; glad enough to have

Gloria received the proposition Ian

along. When they arrived at the
courthouse they entered Judge Free

drink habit is to divert the drinking
impulse to another channel. A man
will get drunk on religion, altruism,

FIRST BAPTIST
START MEETING
FOR A SUCCESS

The series of revival services at the
First Baptist church began Sunday
with the evangelist. DR.. H. G. Buck
holtz, preaching a strong sermon from
the text: Psalms, SLIP, Restore unto
me the joy of thy salvation; and up
hold me with thy free spirit"
From the first, the congregation lis
tened with deep interest to the minis
ter. The sermon closed with an ap-
peal to all present to put away every
known sin and so live before men and
God that their lives would count for
the most in the kingdom of God. The
response was almost unanimous.
Mr. Williams delighted every one
with very touching solo, titled Lay
All on the Altar"
The service at night was even more
expressive than Sunday morning. DR..
Buckholtz preached especially to par
ents, and made very impressive and
effective appeal to the parents to safe
guard their homes, family affairs, relig-
icus instruction, early conversion of
their children. and by the right-kind of
life in the home.
Mr.. Williams sang very touching
sclo following the sermon.
Although it rained during practically
all of the day, and many were kept
away from the services because of the
weather, the congregations were large
and every indication points to most
successful meeting. The large chorus
choir assisted by the orchestra added a
great deal to the services, and this
feature will attract many who other
wise might not attend the services.
The church is delighted with DR..
Buckholtz's method of conducting the
services. He makes few propositions,
does not insist on everybody running
cl er the congregation and pulling peo-
pie to the altar. He breaches the gos-
rel with earnestness. and when con-
servative means are used to enlist
the unsaved, leaves the results with the
Lord.
The meetings will be held each day
at and 1880 p. M. The public is in
vited, and will receive cordial well
ccme.

TAKE ANOTHER LOOK
AT YOUR OAT CROP

One Sumter county farmer who has
been marvelously successful in his
work advises the Times Recorder to
warn the farmers against plowing up
their oats under the belief that they
we're killed by the recent cold weather.
This farmer states that on first in
yestigation he thought his oats were
dead, but that after the sun came out
for several days there was noticeable
difference, which later developed that
at least fifty per cent. of his planting
had survived The farmer says that
fifty per cent. oat crop from the origi-
nal stand will net almost as much as
an oat crop planted at this time, as it
would not be as mature and strong.
This hint is given the farmers OF
this section, so they can investigate
and determine the best course. The
farmer who advises the Times-Re-
corder says that a fifty per cent. crop
on the original planting is better than
the chances on a crop which is yet to
be planted, with the strong possibility
OF it being hurried in its growth.
