dustries Board. These materials to be
sold, but any financial benefit which
NAV accrue to the Red Cross will be

Loew's CoIumbla-waIIace Reid.

LESS Than Kin" with Wallace
photoplay at Loew's Columbia yes
until Thursday. Wallace Reid plays
a dual role and is admirable in both
the characters played by him.
The main role Is a young New
Yorker, Lewis Vickers, who acci-
IDENTIFY kills a man and goes to Gen.
trail America Here he meets Robert
Lee, who bears a remarkable re-
semblance to him. Lee is a worth
less young chap whose father is
anxious to have him return to the
United States. On his death bed Lee
turns his papers over to vickers and
begs him to assume his name.
Arriving in New York, Vickers
goes to the Lee home as Robert Lee,
and discovers that the dead man has
willed him a badly blotted past that
includes a wife and two children and
a large collection of debts, He also
finds a beautiful adopted daughter
in the Lee household and promptly
falls in love with her. The only way
he can stand any chance of winning
the girl is by telling the truth about
himself.
The arrival of his undesirable FAM
lily and several Of its friends and
connections helps to bring out the
truth, and the picture ends with a
runaway marriage between vickers
and the adopted daughter.
Ann Little as Nellie Is sufficient
excuse for Lewis Vickers' devotion
and RAYMOND Hatton does a clavar
character impersonation as James
Enlmons.
Thursday. and for the last half of
the wek. Charles Ray will be seen
in "A Nine O'clock Town"

RADIUM BEST
ANTIDOTE FOR
POISON GASES
Bromide Salt, Attenuated,
Provides Remedy for
Caustic Injury.
ny CLARK WILLIAMS WILSON.
American Gas Expert.

The German mustard gas" 10
which our boys are being subjected on
the Western front. is not made from
mustard and has no connection with
mustard II was so named by the
British soldiers because tt soaks
through their clothing and burns the
skin worse than a mustard plaster.
II has an odor more suggestive OF
garlic than mustard. Thousands of
tons of il are now being loosed at the
allied armies by the Huns.
Antidote Chloride of Lime.
Mustard gas is developed by vapor-
king diclorethyl sulphide, which vol
aulizes slowly and the fumes Of which
become tenaciously attached TO OBJ
Jects Of the landscape. Chloride Of
lime is most effective in neutralizing
Its yirulence.
Phosgene gas. another popular
weapon OF the Huns. which is deadly
and rapid, is formed by the action OF
light on a mixture Of carbonic acid
and chlorine Like caTbonic gas. IL is
suffocating. eUt has more odor.
Fluorine gas, a combination OF
iodine, sulphur and phosphorous
is fatal gas which might be used
by the allies in fighting German cas-
warfare. II has been liquified under
pressure and might be used in this
form by shell-makers for charzinz
explosive shells. Its vapor Is more
pungent than chlorine or any Of the
irritating gases. OF all substances IL
is most destructive Of animal mat
ter. Applied to the skin, it causes
excruciating pain.
My experiments in chemistry and
medicine have proved that a perfect
antidote for the caustic effects OF
acid gas burns is radium when used
in the form Of a bromide OF radium.
but considerably attenuated. A very
few small doses. taken internally,
have always been wonderfully effec-
tive in providing relief.
Gas GanErene Terrible.
The awful gRs Eangrene infection.
which often develops in neglected
wounds Of our soldiers, might be con-
quered by the use OF preparations OF
Lachesis. the lethal venom OF the
lance-headed serpent OF South Amer
lea That poison has cyanide OF soda
for its active principle.
Hell could not concoct more fiend-
ish punishment than that which the
detestable Huns have dealt out by
the use Of these acrid gases IN mod
crn warfare. Chronic pacifists and
pro-Germans should be forced 70
scrutinize some OF the heart-breakinz
and hideous exhibits OF gassed and
disabled entente allied soldiers re-
turned from the battle fronts. Then
they might realize what America is
fighting for and fighting TO prevent.

Approaching Her Friends.

/ am writing after an illness from
the results of blow supposed to be
from the hose during the fire. But
for the kindness of DR.. Qualls in TAX
ing charge with painotaking care
and scientific application the results
might have been quite serious.
l am thankful to the public gem
orally for their sympathy and aid in
saving my property. Sympathy can
not restore material losses, but it
helps to bind up a bleeding heart.
To some of my friends, including
Mr.. John Walker, who came to my
aid in the adjustment of insurance,
am deeply indebted Mr.. Walker
is young man of sterling qualities
and heartily thank him. The local
papers are very liberal and kind. l
often wonder how many of us appre-
ciate their kindness. But the only
way is to pay up.
l want to thank the fire company.
They deserve all the expressions of
commentator that can be bestowed.
They, all of them, did their utmost
| would like also to mention the first
to arrive at the fire: Mrs. Jack Yer
hine, Walter Mitchell, A. B. Watts,
Miss Jennie Martin, Mr.. Hunt Rop-
or and Mr.. and Mrs. F. E. Arm, Mr..
Hassell. They all worked Faithfully,
but Mrs. Arm did more. She paid
others for help. Mr.. Hasscll got help
to move the salvage without charge
and for this kindness l am grateful.
Willie Martin was very kind to give
me room. Don't think l could rest
until had poured out my heart in
thanks to ell these good people.
A flower from the little hand of
Robert Mitchell, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Walter Mitchell, touched my heart
when the little fellow came up and
said he was sorry for me. The pray
ers and sympathy of my minister,
Rev. J. Randall Farri5, and the God
ly women of our aid society are very
precious. Mrs. James Reynolds and
Miss Ella Whipple came in behalf of
the society to render aid. No more
spiritual or highminded hearts are
to be found. am deeply grateful to
all. MRS. C. E. TREVATHAN.

Advises Economy.

Thru DR.. F. M. McRee, member OF
the District Exemption Board, we
are requested to give publicity to
recommendations made by the Gov
eminent to citizens to observe the
most careful economy in living ex-
penses.
The circular issued to this effect
states that our resources in man
power, money, transportation, food
stuffs, raw materials, and fuel are
subjected to the heaviest strain, and
it is the clear duty of every citizen
to guard against increasing the
strain by single wasteful act. 1t
is incumbent upon everyone to be
economical in dress, food, and man
ner of living.
DR.. McRee states that he is au-
thorized to put this in the form of a
request, and we are hereby acting in
compliance with the orders.

We would like to say again there
are numbers of people sending arti-
eles to the office we would like to
accommodate by publishing their
manuscript. In fact there is no dis
position in this Office to favor one in
preference to another. We refer to
obituaries as much as anything else.
In some cases we have as many as
half a dozen about one person. In
some cases we don't have any at all.
We regret it very much when we fail
to get a notice of the death of any
person, doesn't make any difference
who. But it is practically impossible
for us to publish from week to week
additional notices about the same
person, especially now since the war
when so much war publicity is ex-
pected. 1t costs money to publish
paper, and every article in it. Also
help is scarce, material is expensive,
and if we cannot use everything sent
to us it must not be taken for grant
ed that we object to using it. 1t is
just simply matter of impossibility,
and that is the whole of it. OF
course we are bound to have the
local news items, all we can get.
without them there would be no
field at all for the paper; without
them we could have no subscribers.
Therefore we say, while the Govern
ment has our paper in the draft for
its publication work, to be done free
of charge, and while there are so
many other things we must do you
must excuse us if there are not many
things repeated two weeks or more
in our paper. We have since Amer
lea has been in the war printed for
the Government hundreds of dollars
worth of publications without pay.
We are going to keep doing this too,
as long as we can. 1t is part of our
donation towards conducting the
war, and we positively must sidetrack
other matter when it comes to a
choice between that and loyalty to
the Government.

Protemus Pig Club.

A pig club has been organized by
a club of nine boys at Protemus, who
have, thru the Old National Bank of
this city, each bought Duroc Jer-
sey pig, the money furnished by the
bank as a loan to the boys, who have
each in turn entered into an agree
meDt to raise the pig and develop
the highest points in him. This, we
understand, is to be competitive
arrangement. The pigs were ship
ped from Paris, Tenn, at cost of
SIT each, and the boys were here to
receive them. The pigs were taken
to Protemus in the crates in which
they were shipped.
Mr.. T. H. Dougherty, the county
farm agent, has charge of this work.
He induced the boys to take an in
tercst in the work, and thru him
the club was organized. After the
pigs have been kept thru the sum-
mer they will be bred and ex-
hibited in the fall, and the boy who
has been most successful will be
given a reward of some kind

Must Work or Fight.

Gen. Crowder has undertaken to
supply some of the deficiencies of
draft law. He has decided to make
it selective in fact, which it original
ly was in conception. He has given
teeth to it's exemption provisions by
requiring those who claim exemption
from military duty to give concrete
illustration of the validity of their
claims. Translated into comprehen-
sive English, the new order provides
that all physically able draft men
must either work or fight. Fish or
cut bait is about the way the situa-
ton would be sized up in the street.
This may seem like a radical
procedure, but when analysed it is
correct in principle. For instance,
if an exemption is claimed on ac-
count of dependents it must be
SHOWN that these are actually de-
draftee-not merely that he has a
family. If exemption from military
service is claimed on the ground of
useful service in some other line, it
must be shown that the particular
service is actually being performed,
Under this order, a young man may
not successfully claim exemption as
a farmer merely because his father
owns farm. He will have to show
that he is doing the farming himself
And the same with other employ
ments.
The ruling really gives effect to
the draft. 1t concretely employs the
selective principle. There is de-
mand going up all over the country
for help to keep up production. The
farmer is straining every nerve to
meet requirements upon him-with
a shortage in man-power. The same
situation is almost universally true
as regards the industries. Every
body is periodically doing his best
to get along and spare the boys who
have been called to the colors. In
the face of all this, there are those
in nearly every community who, like
the lilies, toll not, neither do they
spin. There are those who claim
exemption on account of dependents,
but who are themselves dependents
upon their wives or parents.
In addition to those who arc doing
nothing in this time of the nations
need, there is a considerable contin-
gent who are engaged in superfluous
or unnecessary employment. These
must seek work upon projects that
will contribute to the country's ag-
gregate production of things neces-
sary, or to the winning of the war.
Everybody must eat and wear, hence
everybody must help to produce the
wearables and eatables-must show
clean bill of health or go to the
front. Chattanooga News.
