INTEREST in the Caruso concert In
Pittsburgh at Shriners' mosque on
Saturday evening, May 9th, is un-
precedented, and indications are
that out Of town residents will form q
large part of the audience on this occa-
sion, for whose convenience March 19-
25 has been designated as Caruso Sub
scrfption Week. Many parties have al
ready been arranged, and special trains
will be run from different points for
the accommodation Of patrons to this
concert. Saturday night was chosen for
the Pittsburgh concert to enable music
lovers from more distant points to take
advantage of this opportunity, for many
will come from cities and towns that
would not be convenient to reach after
the concert, and a business day is
therefore not broken by stay in the

The Orchid.

The orchid is a peculiar plant, for,
strange as, it may seem, there is no
distinctively orchid odor. One smells
like the violet, others like the rose, the
hyacinth, the datfodil. Orchids are the
monkeys, the mim1cs Of the vegetable
world, In odor as well as form and
tint. No other flower resembles an or
child, but orchids are forever aptng
butterflies, pansies, roots, spiders, pitch
plants, birds and what not. And they
are not absolutely certain to look just
the same twice In succession.

Watch Your Pep.

Pep Is a slang word invented to con-
vey the idea Of those who are always
up and about, who are full Of "ginger,"
who never go to sleep at the switch.
When you are full Of pep you can go
O long way toward doing almost any
thing. But pep runs out. II your
stomach goes back on you because you
don't know how to take care Of it; If
you consort with weak minded people,
taking on the color Of their weak
mindedness; If you burn the candle at
both ends, then your pep runs low.

In this connection, Pennsylvania
state leaders, point to the fact that il
o woman suffrage amendment is pass
cd by the present session Of the legis-
lature at Harrisburg and the session
In 1919, another referendum cannot
take place in this state until 1920
Pennsylvania suffragists say New
York's action is refutation Of the ar
gument that it is too soon to reintro-
duce a bill in Pennsylvania, the suf-
Grage amendment in this state having
been lost by a much smaller majority
than that in New York, and having
carried in 33 out of 81 counties.
The statistics also stress other 1917
victories, notably those in Ohio, In
diana and North Dakota, where presi-
Dental suffrage has been granted this
year; Arkansas, which has granted
primary suffrage, which in that state
practically is full suffrage, and referen
da authorized in Maine and South
Dakota.
The table showing the scope of suf;
frage in the United States is said to
be the only one having detailed cor
rections to date. 1t gives in adL4ion
to other information the fact that
measures granting constitutional
presidential and municipal or primary
suffrage have been introduced in legis-
latures of Is states in the first 1O
weeks of 1917.
Attention is called to the fact that
Pennsylvania is the only Eastern
state north of the Mason and Dixon
line, which has not granted suffrage
in any form to its women, except
Maine and Rhode Island. 1t points out
IN addition, that Maine this year has
authorized referendum upon consti-
tutional woman suffrage next Septem'
ber.
Notable recent victories in Canada
are also detailed.

Public Health Department
For the People of Sumter
BY DIR. w. B. M'WHORTER.

Cleanliness of person and surround
ings is the keynote of all sanitation,
and should be one of the most inn
portant lessons which the pupil learns
at school,
The teacher should be informed up
on matters of health and sanitation.
Once a week they should give short
talk on the Importance Of caring for
the teeth, etc. They should insist up
on the correction of any eye, nose,
throat or other defect in the child
which may be preventing proper prog
ress in school.
We do not believe in going to ex-
tremes in anything. Sober common
sense should be followed at all times
But we do know that these things are
important and that proper attention
should be paid to them.
If any contagious disease should APP
pear in school, teachers should mott
fly the health commissioner. He will
attempt to do whatever is reasonable
and necessary to prevent its spread.

Some Suggestions on school Sanitation

Some Suggestions on School Sanitation
Desks should be so placed that the
principal light will come from the left
or from the rear. From the left is
preferable.
The desk seat should be of such
height that the thigh of the child
when seated will be level with both
feet resting ond the floor.
The school room should be well ven
tilated at all times. Windows should be
pulled down from the top.
Rooms should be kept at as even
temperature as possible. If stoves are
used for heating, it is well to keep
water on the stove
Some form of sanitary fountain or
individual drinking cups is strongly
recommended. Colds and many other
diseases may be spread by the use of
the common drinking cup.
Floors should be swept daily. Oil
or sawdust should be used to keep the
dust down. 81

TWO WEEKLY EDITORS
REFUSED EXEMPTIONS.

ATLANTA, Ga, September 17.-An
editor and a school teacher may be
factors in the life of a COM
munity, and undeniably are, but not
so important, in the opinion of the
district of Georgia, as to justify their
editor of the Carroll County Times,
Carrollton, Ca, and J. w. Bonner,
principal of the Winfield school, Co
lumbia county. While denying the ap-
peals of these two men for exemption,
the board allowed the claims of Rev.
A. G. Adams and Rev. Jesse Warwick,
ministers Of Athens.

SEVEN DOLLARS A QUART
PRICE OF WHISKY NOW
BELIEVED THAT IT WILL BE SELL
ING IN GEORGIA SOON AT NOT
LTSS THAN TWENTY DOLLARS
A QUART.

SAVANNAH, "a, Sept. --latest
quotations Of 'booze" preferred and
common, was firm at 81 quart at the
close of the local market yesterday,
and tips" on good authority at the
police station have it that it will open
Monday at an unprecedented squirt that
promises to sell at SIS common and
50 preferred.
Lieut. Fleming yesterday asserted
that this was not due to the Swede-
Deutsche diplomatic expose, nor the
mob violence in Buenos Ayres. The
recent liquor edict of Uncle Sam had
some bearing upon the market quo
tations. However, it is largely due to
the police skirmishes on the outskirts
of Savannah and the successful tor
pedoing of several vehicles with con-
traband just off Woodbine. This was
done without warning" to any of the
American passengers aboard by Sheriff
HIgginbotham.
In the high and palmy days of the
dominant rover, Capt. Bachus on the
high hills, the capture of violators
of prohibition averaged never less than
twenty-five persons by the police. This
fragrant disregard Of the liquor law
kept ten to fifteen patrolmen busy
every night. But them" was the old
days-last month! Now the average
arrests total two persons. Two high
powered motor cars were to be seen
rushing hither and thither from the
police station from sunset to the wee
hours of morning. For the last few
weeks, however, the police have been
complaining about the soaring price
o. liquor There is very little crime
about the city these days other than a
few family brawls, crap games and
auto speeders.
1t is attributed partly to the fact
that many of the former violators will
no longer run the big chances of SNUG
CLING liquor into the state 1t is be-
coming more of rash speculation
every day, no more profitable than the
wildests wildcat scheme. The punish
ment is also severe financially. 1t
means a heavy fine and the confsca-
ton of the vehicle in which the liquor
is conveyed. The negroes formed a

good portion of the patrons, but they
are fast dwindling, preferring to fore
go the liquor, rather than mortgage
their homes and razors for just a
swallow. The price was % cents a
drink, but this has been advanced con-
siderably by the government man on

the manufacture, too. 1t is the opin-
ion of the police that within another
month whisky will be selling at 800
a quart, and it will be difficult at that
to connect with the mad fumes" How
ever, there has been little change in
wood alcohol.
