South Carolina Woman's Thrift.

In the January Woman's Home
Companion 4 writer advises:
The idea Of using the materials
to be found in the home locality. plus
her own labor. is we'll exemplified in
the case of q South Carolina woman
who picks and cures pine needles from
her own grounds, and later weaves
them with raffia into delightful bas-
kets, serving-trays. and coasters,
which she sells to many distant shops.
This pine needle indcstry Is possible
in and part of the country where the
pine trees are found. The needles
when dried in the light turn tobac-
co brown, while those dried in the
dark retain their green tone; there
fore many beautiful combinations
are possible through this srmple and
easy means Of obtaining variety OF
color"

Winter BPiDls Colds To Children.

A child rarely goes through the
whole winter without a cold, and
every mother should have a reliable
remedy handy. Fever, sore throat,
tight chest and croupy coughs are
sure symptoms. A dose Of DR. Bells
Pine Tar Honey will loosen the
phlegm, relieve the congested lungs
and stop the cough. Its antiseptic
pine balsams heal and soothe. For
Group, whooping cough and chronic
bronchial troubles try DR. Bells Pine
Tar Honey. At all Druggists, 25c.

An Ancient Prsst ptIon.

Medical prescriptions are often
hard to read, and there is one in
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art,
New York, which is particularly
bothersome. 1t is on stone and
dates from about 1900 B. c., max
ing it NO doubt the Oldest prescrip-
ton in America. Men Of science
say that the Egyptian physician wls
prepared it was prescribing precious
stones, finely ground, for fumigation
ia cases of hysteria. And, IS often
in later times, much more expen-
sivs remedy was prescribed for rich
people than for the poor.

The Habit Of Taking Cold

With many people taking a cold
is a habit, but fortunately one that
is easily broken. Take cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out Of bed-not too cold. but a
temperature of about 80 degrees. AL
so sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and get rid
Of it as quickly as possible. Obtain

APPEAL FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF S. c.

AN INSTITUTION WITHOUT EN-
DOWMENT.-IS DEPENDENT ON
LEGISLATURE FOR SUPPORT.
Editor County Record
The University of South Carolina
is the only State University in the
South that has no endowment. This
institution, therefore, is entirely de-
pendent on annual legislative appro-
priations for maintenance and future
development. There is never any dlf-
ficalty about ordinary maintenance
but development is necessarily slow,
as South Carolina is not wealthy
State and as the demands upon the
legislature are numerous and insist
ent. Such an institution as ours.
therefore, must be partly dependent
upon it's alu nni if we are to keep
pace with the rapid strides of mod
ern higher education.
There are FIVE ordinary ways by
which our alumni can contribute to
the development of their Alma Ma
ter: (1) By the establishment of an
endowment fund; (2) by the erec-
ton individually or collectively of
an alumni building on the campus;
t3) by special donations for the en-
bellishment of the grounds and build
ings; (4) by supporting, in part.
athletics; % by gifts to the Alumni
Loan Fund.
It's of the last that we shall speak
in this article, reserving comment on
the others ia subsequent contribu.
tons to your journal.
The Alumni Loan Fund was Gre
ated February, 1904. to meets the
needs of poor but worthy students
of the unive :ity. During the eleven
years of is activity t19O4-l915)
$50, 900 have been lent to students.
''The active part of the fund has
been paid ont four times and recol-
lected three times" as we learn
from the bulletin prepared by the
very competent administrator, Pro-
fessor F w Bradley. There are
about fifty regular annual contrib
utors. A few others have contribut-
ed sporadically. The largest total
contribution was 81. .6o2.25 (in 1910
the smallest $3.50 Tin 1912. As
there are about 5000 living alumni
it will be.seen that the number OF
contributors is exceedingly small.
II the alumni averaged $500 apiece
annually the contributions to this
fund would amount to SIS, 900 a
year. As only 500 is ever loaned
to any one applicant. this would
mean that $50 young men and
women would be enabled annually
to complete their education in addi-
ton to those who had already secur-
ed loans from the permanent fund.
When these young people graduate
they naturally become the warmest
friends Of the institution and the
most generous contributors to the
fund to which they owe their high
educational training. But better
far the State is enriched by an in
creasingly large number Of highly
educated citizens to aid in guiding
her future career.
It is said that Alexander Stephens,
the Vice President of the Confeder.
aey. educated out of his private
funds sixty young men most OF
whom rendered valuable service in
after life 10 the great common
wealth of Georgia. Surely there is
no benefaction that reaps larger re-
turns than one that helps to fit men
r a career Of usefulness and dis
;ction in life. The interest on
ch q fund is not to be measured in
ollars and cents but in souls and
,cial service, the value Of which is
