War Gas Causes Appendicitis.

The various poison gases so much
in use at present at the European
battle zone are not only breathed, but
are swallowed. This might seem
strange at first, but the likelihood OF
swallowing some amount Of gas i'm
pregnating the atmosphere may readily
be seen. This might take place incl
dental to the intake of food and both
to normal and convulsive actions OF
the throat. Such swallowing Of toxic
vapors causes a variety of digestionai
disturbances. according to the amount
of gas ingested.
According to an article in the Jour-
nal de Medicine at de Chirurgie
Pratique, appendicitis has been found
caused by swallowed gas, especially
when the gas contains chlorine. The
progress of the malady was rapid, but
rather mild, and treatment was efec-

An Important Phase OF War Work

Since the people of Newberry coun-
ty have subscribed their full quota in
the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive we
feel that we have done our part, for
the present, in buying clothing, guns,
ammunition, food and other material
necessities for our soldiers.
1t behooves us, now, to seek to find
some other way in which we can help
win the war as quickly as possible.
Our love for country is also tested in
the way we support the organizations
that are working for the morale and
for the souls of our men and women.
One from General Pershings staff has
said that the agencies that are work
ing for the morale of the army are
adding big per cent to the fighting
efficiency of our men. The Young
Women's Christian Association was
cne of the agencies mentioned by this
staff officer.
Below is a telegram which was sent
some months ago to Mrs. Cushman,
Chairman of the War Work Council
of the Y. w. C. A., by our beloved
president, Woodrow Wilson. At that
time the work of the association was
not on such a magnificent scale as il
is today.
my Dear Mrs. Cushman:
May I not express to you the ad-
miration which I in common with the
great body of my fellow
have felt for the work of the Young
Women's Christian Association? It
has responded at this time Of need n
the most admirable way to the claims
upon its patriotic services, and wish
to give myself the pleasure of ex-
pressing my appreciation and the
high value which l put upon its work.
Sincerely yours,
(SieneO Woodrow Wilson,
War work of the Y. W. C. "A began
as the result of a request from the
War Department Commission on
training Camp Activities to supply
leaders for girls in the vicinity OF
training camps. That request was
received the first of June, 1917, and
since then 81 club centers have been
opened.
The government requested houses
where the mothers. wives, sweethearts
and sisters who visited soldiers in the
training camps could be entertained.
The Y. W. C. A. answered with the
Hostess House. Today 90 hostess
houses have been opened and others
are under construction. Twelve are
for colored troops. Many other Host
ess houses have been requested.
Early in the war;, French women
cabled to the American Young Wo-
mans Christian Association for help.
Now they conduct social and recrea-
ton work for French women among
the munition workers of Lyons, st.
ouentinne and Bourges; for French
women in government employ; for
Americans who serve in the social
rooms for nurses at Red Cross huts
at IA base hospitals; in the Hostess
houses of Paris and Tours; in the
Hostess houses for American Signal
Corps girls; and maintain hotel Pet

fully approve Of your editorial last

splendid idea and it can be put into
practical effect. There are a great
number of boys in school who would
like to work on a farm but they don't
know what farm to go to. There are
a great number Of farmers who want
boys on the farm, but they do not
know what boys to get or where they
reside. Let every boy who is in school
register, giving his age, name and ad-
dress and the wages desired. Then let
every farmer who wants a boy send
for a copy of the list Of the boys reg

Every boy who can work on a farm
this year should do so. It is a good
thing for the boy and a fine thing for
