ARMY BATTALION
IS ONE OF UNITS

WASHINGTON, May 8.-An army
battalion is composed of four COM
posed of four companies, and at peace
strength totals Ala men and officers.
Three battalions compose a regi-
ment, with subsidiary units.
battalion is composed by major,
with under officers-a first lieutenant
and battalion adjutant.
The battalion is not a tactical unit,
operating as a component part of the
regiment the smallest tactful force.
Neither is the battalion an administra-
tive unit as is the regiment.
The cavalry equivalent OF the in
fantry battalion is the squadron. 1t is
composed of three troops, totaling 294
men, and is commanded by major, a
first lieutenant, and a squadron ad-
jutant.
The field artillery battalion con-
sists of either two or three batteries
two for mountain and light gun of
howitzer battalions; and three for
horse and heavy gun battalions. 1t is

THE TEAR GAS.

At least one American has contrib

ons. 1t has just become known that
Dr. Robert w Wood of John Hopkins
university, furnished the formula to
the French for the manufacture of
tear gas" which has been used with
good effect on the Teutons. This IS
ore of the many hundreds of instance
where American ingenuity has assisted
ia the great war. The Lewis machine
gun is remembered; there's the sub
marine, and thousands of ideas evoly-
ed from original plans of Americans
Germany has gained wide recogni-
ton for the work in science, but her
opportunities have been rewarded with
greater favor by the government. In
America it has come to a situation

SHOULD ISSUb BONDS.

Frequently the Times-Recorder has
commented favorably upon the idea OF
Issuing bonds for Sumter county for
Inermanent improvements. The county
commissioners are discussing the mat
ter and it is not improbable that they
will order an election
Sumter county has more public
roads in comparison with its area than
most any county in the union, and with
the increasing work demanded and
the permanent work einbg done, it is
almost impossible to do the right kind
o. work under the present limited fin
ancial system. And too permanent
roads will be assets of another genera
ton, and why shouldn't the people to
come assist in paying for the pleasures
they enjoy.
1t is to be admitted that certain ele-
ments enter into the question of bonds.
There is such criticism, and for this
which has never issued bonds
there will be many objections and
to overcome.
No one can deny that general con-
certed work on our roads is needed.
There are many sections which need
and our main trunk lines in
some instances deserve careful atten-
ton. 1t costs almost as much to do a
half job on road work as it does to
a piece of road Permanent
should be built, and then
with a minimum of expenses they can
be- kept in excellent condition.
1t is for good roads and permanent
of a deserving nature
that bonds should be issued. The cost
and interest will be an inconsiderate
compared with the principle of perm
arent construction.
We hope that the people will study
the question, and when an election is
called that they will see the wisdom
of issuing bonds.

PARIS HAS SHORTAGE
OF AMERICAN FLAGS

PARIS, May 8.-America's entry into
the war found Paris unprepared ia
American flags. Even before Congress
had debated President Wilson's war
proposal, Paris department stores had
to admit that the demand for the Stars
and Staripes exceed the supply. Hardly
a street in the capital lacked one "Old
Glory" Even small American flags to
be worn on coat lapels were gone as
sooon as the larger ones. Frenchmen
bought them as eagerly as Americans.
Both are waiting for a new supply.

HEALTH Is WEALTH

Mr.. Citizen, have you taken into
consideration, in making plans for
your material welfare during the
coming summer and fell that the
health of yourself and your family may
determine whether or not this is to be
a successful year for you? If you are
"a merchant, have you stopped to re-
feet that case of typhoid fever in
your family will affect your assets in
exactly the same way as the loss of a
valuable shipment of merchandise? If
you are farmer, has it occurred to
you that such an illness may Offset
the value of a bountiful crop on many
acres of your land? If you are a wage
Garner, have you considered that ILL
ness of yourself or member of your
family will materially affect the plans
you have made for the investment of
your savings?
You have though, of course, of how
unfortunate it would be for such ill
ness to happen" in your family. You
have insured your merchandise against
loss. You have insured your house
and barn against fire. You have per
haps even taken out an insurance
police to provide for the necessities Of
life for your family in case you be
come ill., But have you given to. thu
question of Preventing" such illness
the thought and study that so import
ant matter deserves? And many o
our most serious and costly diseases
Eare entirely preventable.
The United States Public Health
Service deyotes much of its time anC
effort to the study of these preventablt
diseases, and has issued numerou,
publications containing the fundamen
tai principles of disease prevention.

HOW TO FLY OLD
GLORY IS TOLD

WASHINGTON, D. c., May S.-For
the guidance Of puzzled patriots, the
war department has prescribed this
simple formula for hanging the Amer
lean fiag-as it should be hung:
Wherever possible, hang the flag
from a staff, and not against the wall
use bunting for the way. If, how
ever, flag is hung against wall, the
field of stars should be always to the
north-on a north and south street, and
to the east on an east and west street.
Never hang it horizontally, if possible
to hang it otherwise, but if hung hori-
zontally, the ending containing the
stars should be at the north or east.
Army regulations call for the flag to
fly from sunrise to sunset, but it is
optional with the individual whether it
shall fly at night

FOR COLDS AND GRIPPE
 DOCTORS ADVICE
The Improved Calomel Tablet That Is Entirely Purified of All Nauseal-

Physicians are warning public against trifling with colds and grippe. They saw that brisk calomel purga- tive, preferably Calotabs the new and improved calomel tablet, should be invariably taken at bed time and re- peated the second or third night, if necessary. In the earliest stages, one calotab is usually sufficient unless the case is particularly severe.
 Physicians say that it is a waste of time and is dangerous to eXperI- ment with other laXatives, as calomel is absolutely necessary sooner or later. One Calotab on the tongue at bed time with swallow of water that's all. No salts, no nausea nor the slightest interference with diet, work or pleasures. Next morning your cold has vanished and your whole system is purified and refresh ed. Calotabs are sold only in origin al sealed packages. Prices thirty five cents.
