To Be Held i'm NezV York

Plans have been laid for the holding
in New York this season Of an aquatic
pentathlon for women, to which will be
invited the leading mermaids of the
East and Middle West, and the fixture
promises to be one of the most inter-
esting on the indoor programme. The
event will be an all round test of
workmanship in which the candidates
compete successfully in five events
100-yard free style swim, 50-yard
back stroke, 5o-yard breast stroke,
fancy diving and lifesaving.
Awards will be made by summing up
the place numbers of each entrant in
all Ave contests, lowest scores natu-
rally taking precedence. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that versatility Is the
chief factor, rather than exceptional
ability in any one line. The pentathlon
was introduced about a year ago, and
at its first presentation Miss Gertrude
Artelt, of Philadelphia, a fifteen-year-
old girl just rising to fame, defeated
a large field Of crack rivals and capt
urea premier QONOTS.
George schroth, Of Sacramento,
seems to have succeeded Lieutenant
Norman Ross, of San Francisco, as the
all round swimming champion of
California. Although hardly in Ross's
class, Schroth has been winning most
Of the Pacific A. A. u. title races since
Ross left the sport to enter the avia-
tion service, and he has just added to
his laurels a victory in the long dis
tance classic of the district The
event was decided over q two-mile
open water course at Neptune Beach.
Schroth completing the trip through
heavy seas in i hour IL minutes AZ
seconds and defeating by nearly six
minutes his closest opponent, Jack
Wolyniek, Of the Coast Guard service.
The epidemic of influenza has tenn
porarily killed water sports in Phila-
delphia. All the pools have been or
dered closed and many of the city's
leading contestants are suffering from
attacks Of the sickness, including Miss
telt, two Of the champion mermaids.
While these fair stars seem now on the
high road to recovery, it is feared they
will be unable to resume training for a
couple of months.
The Milwaukee Athletic Club is tax
ing keen interest in aquatics these days
and has formed senior and junior COM
petitive squads, besides organizing a
swimming club for members unable or
unwilling to seek laurels in the open
field. This sub-club numbers already
nearly two hundred self-styled water
bugs" and Is growing steadily.
Miss Ruth Stacker, the famous little
Hawaiian mermaid, who abandoned the
amateur ranks some time ago to be-
come coach at the Honolulu Y. w. C. A..
has been appointed physical director
of the yeomanettes at Mare Island, in
California. and it is claimed that, hav-
ing entered the United States service
she is eligible for competition in
A. A. U. meets. One can but hope that
the authorities take the same view OF
the case, for Miss Stacker has always
displayed fine brand of sportsman.

1t is Professor Wilson's theory
that the Influenza germ in the nose
and throat can be killed by the
powerful antiseptic vapors of the
solution just as efficiently as you
can kill germs in room by fumiga-
ton.
One Of the greatest advantages
over other preparations is the fact
that it can be conveniently carried
on the person, and is always ready
for use when entering crowds or
public places.
Local druggists are already re.
porting an enormous demand fol-
the preparation and are experienc.
ing considerable difficulty in keep
ing supply on hand. A 35-cent
vial is sufficient for a weeks treat
ment. The preparation is sold by
all druggists.
Wilson's Solution, which is also
known as Anti-Flu, is to be used as
preventive treatmentionly and not
as a cure. If you contract Spanish
Influenza call your doctor at once.

pounded by Professor Robert C.
Wilson, for eleven years head Of
the department of pharmacy of a
Southern university, for the
protection Of himself and his family
against the malady. The immun-
ity of the Wilson family and their
circle of friends, which followed
the use of the solution, made it
famous overnight. On account of
his university connection and his
high standing as an educator, the
people of his home city began
clamoring for it just as soon as it
became known that he had perfect
ed the formula. Leading physicians,
specialists and psychologists give
the preparation their unqualified in

it to their patients.

many other disinfectants now COM

crop of wheat and corn, how would
the world exist until another crop
could be raised. In view of all Of the
above, let me urge you all to plant an
abundant food crop, those of you who
have tenants see to it that they plant
sufficient to take care of them and
their stock and have it fertilizcd and
we'll cultivated and should it become
absolutely necessary to neglect some
part of the crop be sure that it is not
the food crop which suffers. If you
should happen to raise surplus it
should show nice profit at the prices
now prevailing. Now don't misunder-
stand me. l am not advising you to
cut out a cotton crop. On the contrary
it is another necessity and after you
have. planted an ample food crop you
should put the remainder in cotton
and other money crops. This would
be a good plan to follow both in time
of war and peace. Had all of the
South been doing this for the past
forty years it would have been the
most prosperous country in the world.
In closing, let me again beg you to
give this matter serious consideration.

Manning, S. c., Feb. II, 1918.
TO the Frmers Of Clarendon County:
"Times do surely change" Two or

pected cotton buyer to address a
letter to you advising caution as to
your crop acreage. AS you all are
aware, | am in the cotton business,
representing w. Gordon McCaba &
Co., of Charleston. If we consulted on
ly our own personal interest we would
wish to see @ large cotton crop. How
ever, conditions are too critical for
any Of US to be SO narrow as to con-
slider what may be profitable to us
alone. Mr.. McCabe, who travels con-
siderably, is in close touch with our
large c2nters and is personally ac-
quainted with many of the govern
ment officials, realizes the extreme
Importance of large food crop in the
South and has called me on the phone
several times in the past few days
relative to this matter. Probably you
noticed news dispatch from Wash
jngton a day or two ago indicating
that the government will not allow
cars to haul grain and hay from the
West to section which can raise an
abundant supply. Few Of us realize
how near to a worlds famine we may
be, just suppose for some seasonal
cause the United States and Canada

NEW RULING ON
tLG Sljj:SyiT r. ?"

Mixed flours containing less than
so percent of wheat flour NAV be sold
without substitutes according to a
statement by the United States Food,
Administration today.
Special rules governing the sales of
other mixed flours have beeen pro-
mulgated. Retailers are forbidden to
sell mixed flours containing more
than 30 percent Of wheat flour to any
persons, unless the amount of wheat
flour substitutes sold is sufficient to
make the total amount of such SUBJ
stitutes, including those in mixed
flour, equal to the total amount Of
wheat flour in the mixed flour. For
instance, if any mixed flour is pur.
chased containing 60 percent wheat
flour and 40 percent substitutes, it. is
necessary. that an additional 20 per
cent of substitutes be pur-
chased. This brings it to the basis Of
one pound of substitutes for each
pound Of wheat flour. N}
The other exceptions to this bask
of purchase, in addition to thatfax
mixed flours containing less than So
per cent of wheat flour, are those
concerning graham and whole wheat
flour, which flours may be sold at a.
ratio of three pounds to five pounds
OF wheat flour; and special exGep
tion, which may be granted upon ape
piication showing the necessity, in Mey
case of prepared infants and inval-
IDS food containing flour.
