PEACH SEED PLENTIFUL.
Look in the Orchards Where There
Have Been No Hogs.

When the waves Of poison gas loos-
ed by the Germans swept toward the
American soldiers and their COM
rades in arms alarm Is sounded and
trained to be quick. the boys In khaki
don their gas masks. Only those
masks save them from inhaling the
deadly fumes and dying horrible
deaths Many an American soldier
owes his life to his gas mask. II Is
one of the most important items OF
the soldiers equipment in modern
warfare.
Uncle Sam Is fitting out millions
OF soldiers. There must be millions
OF gas masks to supply them. And
here is a problem. The carbon which
is necessary TO the making of the
masks Is difficult TO get. The supply
of carbon is short. The American
people are being depended upon to
save certain fruit and nut seed. TO
turn these into the nearest Red Cross,
so that carbon can he made from
|
making Of gas masks.
In South Carolina. perhaps, the
most plentiful fruit, from the seed OF
| which carbon can be made, is the
peach. or course peaches are gone
| now, for this season. But the seed
are not gone. y splendid Sugges-
| ton has come to the food adminis-
tratioa from woman near Jones'
vile. who has found veritable mine
of peach seed. and mine that is du-
plicated in hundreds and thousands
of places in this state. If this young
woman's suggestion is followed gen.
orally. in the same patriotic manner
in which she has set the example,
enough peach seed can be collected
in South Carolina to make carbon for
thousands Of gas masks.
On nearly every farm there is a
peach orchard. or at least few
peach trees. And every one who has
peach trees knows that certain pro-
| portion of the fruit drops off and
rots on the ground during wet wealth
cr. which comes just about the time
most of the peaches begin to ripen.
Dry weather following hardens and
rottens the meat around the seed.
and preserves them. These rotted
peaches. if picked up soaked hulled
and dried, even now. will disclose
perfectly sound seed. Sometimes
| these seeds can be taken out with
the hands. and sometimes II is nee
essary tc use a knife to free them
from the rotted mass attached. But
at any rate, a few hours soaking is
all that is necessary to do the trick.
Several bushels of peach seed may
be obtained in this manner from a
rather small orchard, and with very
little labor. The young woman al
ready referred to, picked up and re-
covered five bushels of seed from
less than two dozen trees. With the
assistance of several Of her neighbors
one day last week. she cleaned and
dried seven pccks Of seeds.

ISOLATION OF TURKEY.
Macedonian Drive Now Has a Twofold
Object,

The operations on the Macedonian
front are assuming relative import
ant proportions on the military maj

at Washington.
The general advance of the French
British and Serbians through Mace,

l. That the object of the tremen.

front is not the punishment O.
Bulgaria or the emancipation o
smaller states, but the isolation o.
Turkey.

way was thought to be the most vul.
nerable after the failure Of the attach

In its broader aspect and linked VI
with the whole connected series o.
approaches to the German citadel al
home the present fighting in Mace.

development after the exploits Of the
American field at st. Mihiel. That |:
the opinion Of one Of the members Of
the staff whose speciality is the obser.
walton of the war as one unified plar
to carry out the declared purposes OF
President Wilson.
This official said it was within the
the probabilities Of early realization
that Turkey would throw up the
sponge. This would be forced the
moment she was cut Off from the Ger
man line Of transportation and 1t was
evident, he said. that Germany nc
longer has an army to send from the
western front, nor can Austria send
one Of her assistants beset as the
dual empire Is by resolutions involv-
ing millions Of her subjects. and men,
aced by an ever-present chance Of a
great Italian offensive.
1t Is evident now said the military
critic. that the British offensive which
was directed along the Caspian sea,
but was halted near Baku, will put on
new life and vigor accordingly as the
British. French and Serbian armies
advance on the opposite side Of the
Ottoman empire.
That the advance through Mace
donia will go without checks of any
importance is evident alrecdy in the
official military opinion here by the
unexpected cowardice of the Bulgar-
ian troops which have been consider
ed the most savage and reckless Of
all the central powers Allies.
Discussing the progress Of the war
on the western front, 1t was stated
that the counter thrusts Of the Ger
mans against the British were the
"spasms Of reaction" and that moth
ing in the human probability. now,
can stop the general motion Of the
three great nations toward the last
defenses Of the Germans. The whole
