Columbia, Nov. s.-The War In
dustries: Board has worked out with
the shoe manufacturers, wholesalers
and retailers a plan, whereby shoes
are grouped in four classes and are
to be retailed at prices which have
been assigned to each class with the
approval Of the War Industries
Board. An important part of this
plan is that each retail shoe dealer
shall sign pledge to the War In
dustries Board that he will conform
to the plan and prices as approved,
and then be furnished with a win
dow display card, stating that he is
selling shoes on the basis approved
by the government.
The State Council of Defense has
been asked by the War Industries
Board to take charge of carrying

KEEP LIVESTOCK OFF
RAILROAD RIGHT-OF.WAY
Annual Loss Approximately $780,
ooo.oo-Reprssentatives For
County Appointed.

The Press and Banner is In re-
ceipt Of the following with a re-
quest for publication:
Editor Press and Banner,
The loss Of livestock killed on
railroad rights Of way IS excessive
in the South, being double per mile
the loss in the West and triple the
loss in the Northeast. The annual
drain in South Carolina runs ap-
proximately to $60,O00.00,
In ordinary times this would be
q matter between the individual
stock owners and the railroads.
Now, however, it is of national I'M
port, and forms no small part of our
States Food Conservation program.
For whether peace comes in three
months or twelve, America must
continue to feed the world for an
other year at least. Furthermore,
since the railroads have been taken
over by the Government. payment
of stock losses must be paid by the
Government, which Of course, falls
on the citizens.
The South Carolina Council of
Defense, aided by the Food Admin
istration, with the cooperation OF
the railroads, has undertaken the
important task of cutting in half the
inexcusably large losses in South
Carolina.
We have mailed to all stock claim.
ants an appeal to shut their stock
away from the railroad tracks. We
have also appointed special volun'
teer stock agents at every railway
town and, city in South Carolina
These men will work under and with
their County Councils Of Defense
Their endeavor will be to reduce as
much as possible the wastage in
meat and leather, and to secure the
passage and enforcement of ade'
quate stock laws wherever needed.
The representatives for your
county are given on the enclosed
list. Please back them up.

Start Tomorrow
and Keep It Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass Of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat we'll, digest we'll, work well, sleep
we'll, and look well. what glorious
condition to attain, and yet, how very
easy it is II one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache. stuffy from cold, foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can, instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices Of the system
each morning and flushing out the
whole otSthe internal poisonous stag
uant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
we'll, should, each morning, before
breakfast drink q glass of real hot
water with Q teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate m It to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action OF
hot water and limestone phosphate on
IN empty stomach Is wonderfully in
vigorating. It cleans out all the. sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast. While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate Is quietly extracting
q large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for q
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation, bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallsw skins, blood disorders and
sicklys compilations are urged to get g
uusrter podnd Of limestone phosphate
frofns the drug store. This win fcost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone a pronounced crank on the
subject of inside-bathing before break
