Kidney & Co.
(BY DR.. v. N. PIERCE

\oA DIss W M 1AGAsSHv
The kidneys and the skin work in har-
mony. They're companions, the skin
being the second partner. If we are
anxious to keep well and preserve the
vitality of the kidneys and, also, free the
blood from noxious elements, we must
pay special attention to a good action of
the skin and to see that the kidneys are
flushed so as to eliminate the poisons
from the blood. The pores of the skin
can be easily clogged, and frequent baths
with soap and water help to remove the
injurious products that clog the pores.
Sweating, by hard work or in bath,
at least once a week, helps to keep ths
skin and kidneys in good condition. Flush
the kidneys by drinking plenty Of pure
water with meals and between meals.
Occasionally obtain at the nearest drug
store Anuric, which will help flush the
kidneys and the intestines.. You will find
that Anuric is thirty-seven times more
active than lithia and that it dissolves uric
acid as hot water does sugar.

A DISAPPOINTMENT

The pictures of Bemidji people,
taken yesterday with expectation to
show them on the Elko theater screen
proved not to be a success on account
of failure of the Photographic plates
to develop properly and the manage
ment decided to omit this advertised
feature for an indefinite time. This
is regretable, but in the circumstan-
ces was unavoidable as the manage
ment was not advised of the failure
until an hour before opening the
theater for last nights show.

MAKE THIRD SURVEY.
Engineers Again Go Over Proposed

Columbia, Dec. A party of en-
gineers, under Edmund McCrady, as
sistant State highway engineer, left
Sunday to begin a p. eliminary sur
vey of the Lanneau's Ferry, one of
proposed bridge sites FOR crossing the
Santee. This will be the third sur
vey OF the Lanneau's Ferry, one Of
the proposed bridge sites for crossing
the Santee. This will be the third sur
vey to be made. Murray's Crossing
and Pinckney's Crossing having al
ready been surveyed for the commits
sion. The engineers Will be absent for
several days inthe work, which will
be very thorough, so as to give the
commission grounds for an impartial
of the different plans.

neer, will also accompany the party

cation to attend meeting of the

ton the thousands of dollars the
warehouse brings here in the shape
of tobacco money rece 5ed on the
warehouse floors.
Two warehouses will increase the
business of tobacco selling in this city
and will also create a greater demand
for both warehouses. The present
tobacco warehouse has been leased
for next tobacco selling season, for
double what it was leased for here
tofore, and the number of applicants
for next year was 500 per cent great
er than this year. This gives an idea
of what tobacco warehousemen and
buyers of tobacco think of Sumter as
a tobacco market, arI what they
think of the prospects for higher
prices of tobacco for 1918 also.
Both warehouses, IL another is
erected, will probably pay dividends
in 1918. Sumter should be made a
big tobacco market, ard can be if
only about $4,000 can oe pried loose
from somewhere without dividends"
for year or two longer.

The Library ODened.

From The Daily Item, Dec. 4.
The formal opening of the Public
Library last evenin' was attended by
a large number of .terested citizens.
who have looked forward to the estab-
lishment of a library in Sumter with
keenest anticipations for many years.
The building which was erected
through the coopera ton of the CITY
Council, which provided for the main
tenance Of the library by an annual
appropriation of $1,000, the City
School Board, which gave the lot and
the Carnegie Foundation, which gave
$4,000 for the erection of the
building. The library building which
Is situated on the western end of the
Ryttenberg lot, purchased by the
school board several years ago, faces
on West Liberty street. 1t is a SUBJ
stantial and attractive building. with
out ornamentation, IFS beauty being i'm
the simplicity and symmetry of its ar
chitecture. In planning the building
the architect had the benefit of the
experience the Carnegie Board has
gained in supervising the erection of
several thousand libraries and il is
well arranged, as convenient and as
we'll adapted to the purpose for which
1t was designed as ii possibly could be.
The library now contains nearly
two thousand books, many of which
have been donatd by clubs, other local
organizations and public spirited cit
lzens. Recently a large number of
new books have been purchased with
funds raised for the purpose bv the
Civic League and others. The lib
rary is by no means as complete as is
desirable. but the looks will be pro-
Vlded from time TO time and it is a
we'll known fact that q library is a
matter of growth it being impossible
to create one out-uf-hand no matter
how much money rhere is available
Tor the purpose
The success and value of the library
are dependent upon the use that the
people of the community make of it,
and the use of a library is an index
OF the intellectual life and growth of
community. 1t is the confident be-
lief of those who have worked for tbe
ablishment of this library that it
will find need ana that it will soon
occupy n large place in the life Of
Sumter people.

Plant Delinted Cotton
 Seed

When the soil and air are warm and the soil is in good condition, the plants from delinted seed will come up several day S earlier than tie plants from ordinary seed. When the soil is damp and cold, dry and cold or poorly pre- pared, a good stand will ire quently be secured from delint ed seed where land planted with common seed will have to be re- planted. Replanting is seldom profitable. it means failure where there is boil weevil One week $ difference in earlineSs often means a difference of a quarter of bale an acre.
 Delinted seed drops evenly like corn or grain. There are nc skips. Ordinary seed mats up in the planter and the skips are frequent. This evenness of planting from delinted seed in creases the yield 10 to p per cent. When a hard crust forms on the soil after planting, the plants from delinted seed are so thick and evenly placed that they will usually lift the crust and grow. The plants from seed hay ing short lint generally start un- evenly and are spaced uneyenly so that they die before they can get through a hard crust.
 Many oil mills will deIint seed for planting for the lint. Several gins in Eastern Arkansas have put in delintipg machines.
