NO MORE MASKS
GIVEN FREE BY
RED CROSS HERE

Owing to the failure of people gen.
orally to wear gauze masks as a pro-
lection against FLU" the Red Cross
Chapter here has decided to dicon-
tinue the free issuance of these
masks, effective Immediately. Chair
man Pace announcing this decision
today, said:
Through the untiring efforts of
some fifty or more of our good wo-
men The Americas and Sumter Coun-
ty Red Cross Chapter has endeavor-
ed to supply the people of Americas
with gauze masks, to be worn at the
request of the health officers as q
precautionary measure against influ-
enza. We find that, though thous-
ands have called and have been given
masks, only a very limited number
"a
are wearing same.
In as much as the making of these
masks was taken up when there was
considerable other work to be done
fer the army, and in as much as the
people do not seem tip appreciate the
importance Of wearing same or the
money and time spent in their prep
aration, notice is hereby given that
no further masks will be supplied to
"sthe public Any one who is unable
to buy the gauze will be supplied
with same free of charge at the work
room, and an instructor will be on
hand there at all hours during the
day to show those who wish to know
how to make same

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS
WILL POLL STRENGTH

Everybody in Georgia thought the
state had threshed out its politics and
got through with them last summer,
when the crops were laid by and he
people had nothing else to do, but
now Republicans have taken a no.
ton to stir up something, or at least
to try to stir up something, by put
ing out several candidates in the gen
eral election to be held November 5,
including a candidate for the United
States Senate.
Of course the only possibility, if,
indeed. it could be called possibility
of electng a Republican senator
would be for ABOUT half the white
Democrats of Georgia to bolt the pri-
mary and join with the negroes of
the G. o. P. and their few white bre-
thren. That such thing is likely
to happen is about as remote as
Foch's surrender to the Hun.
Nevertheless, the Republicans APP
parently have got the idea in their
heads that the white Democrats OF
Georgia have been eating loco weed
and are ready to run amuck like g
heard of crazy cattle. Otherwise it
would not seem to be worth while
maintaining state campaign head
quarters and going to the expense
of printing ballots and paying all the
other incidentally connected with a
statewide campaign.
William ]. Harris is the nominee
of the Democratic party of Georgia
for the United States Senate, Every
Democrat who voted in the primary
is bound to support him in the gen
eral election. Thomas W. Hardwick
gave out a statement on the day after
the primary declaring he would sup
port Mr.. Harris. William Schley

India,s Prize Eiahtlna Birds.


In most countries little birds are
matched against one another for
beauty of plumage or strength of song,
but in India they are taught prize
fighting.
The quail is most commonly used in
these prize competitions, and the bird
dealers who stock the fighting kind do
a good trade among the natives. The
birds are kept in cages, scores and
scores being on view at the various
bird dealers shop. Those who engage
in the sport go the round of those
shops, and select those birds that seem
quarrelsome to the other inmates of
the cage. For the small additional fee
of five cents in our money the priv
ilege is given of selecting from the
stock in hand.
Only the male birds are used, the
females being placed in their cages
within sight of the battle royal to en-
courage their mates to fight. This
they readily do by means OF, a peculiar
whistle. The natives have side stakes
on the fight, but the only consolation
the winning bird receives for perhaps
few bruises and a good shaking up
is liberal feed of delicacies.

NEW METHODS OF
GAINING WEIGHT

New Orleans. June 29.-Scores of
young men, informed by army and
navy doctors that they were under
weight have hied themselves to the
Gulf coast and explained&to hotel or
boarding house proprietors that the
duration of the war depended upon
their gaining so many pounds in a
certain length Of time.
At first some Of the boarding house
and hotel proprietors were unenthusi-
astic over the prospects of a disap-
pointed would-be soldier or sailor and
loss of patronage to their establish
ment. Later. according to those who
have returned, whenever youth,
rather pale and slim applied for board

How much do you have to gain and
when must you report?"

TO GET POTASH
FROM THE DUST

Pittsburg, June 29.-Extraction of
potash from the dust from cement
manufacture is claimed as a POSSIBLE
ity. James D. Rhodes a Pittsburg
manufacturer claims to have made the
discovery, and at his own expense has
arranged to erect a large experimental
plant adjoining the plant of cement
company, at CastaIia, Ohio, for the
purpose of experimenting for 120
days. The Castalia plant is in the
hands of a receiver and it was neces-
sary to get permission of the United
States District Court, before Mr.
Rhodes could enter into any agree
ment with the receivers. This was
granted.
Mr.. Rhodes said he could extract
large quantities of potash for fertilizer
from the dust and waste of cement
mills that will be of great benefit tc
the country in increasing the supply

government is watching the expert
ments with interest.

KANSAS SPIRIT
BACKS UP ALL
PHASES OFWAR

Topeka, Kansas, June 29.-In the
first year. of American participation in
the war, Kansas furnished 1000 men
for the army and navy. Despite the
universal draft, Kansas early in June
still had to her credit more volunteers
than drafted men in the service Ac-
cording to records of the state Adju-
tant Generals office, 1876 Kansans
Ida voolunpered through the federal
lied national guard or the regulars
and 1893 men had been selected for
the national army. This, makes a to-
tai of 35,873 in the army while ap
proximately 1000 volunteered their
services to the navy and the marines.
There was, therefore, one Kansas man
in the service for approximately ev
cry AZ men, women and children in
the states population of 100000.
The same spirit shown by Kansas
men in assuming military duties Gag
erly, has been shown by the people of
the state in backing up the military
forces with its dollars. To the Red
Cross Kansas has contributed approx
imately $4,000, 0OO-the two drives
having netted respectively $4,000 900
end S2,500,000 the other $4,000, 600
having been contributed by member
ship campaign and by the various
chapters through their individual eff
forts.
There are 10 Red Cross chapters in
the state Each chapter maintains a
| live organization, women taking a
leading part in systematic campaign
of knitting helmets, socks and sweat
ers, making surgical dressings and 9TH
er supplies needed by the Red Cross
It is estimated that there are at least
0, 900 Kansas women thus actively en-
gagged in Red Cross work. In the re-
J cent Red Cross drive Kansas raised
nearly 81, 1000, eco in excess of its quo
ia of s1,5S4,00O.
In two campaigns for the Young
Mems Christian Association war fund
1.-THE state has contributed $3.50, 900, the
campaign of last November running
S150,000 more than the Kansas quo
ia. The state has furnished more
/ than one hundred Y. N. C. A, seefe-
taries for overseas service.
In subscribing to the Liberty loans
Kansas has gone over the top" in
| each of the three drives, contributing
fin all sos, eco. In the Third Lib
erty loan campaign, with quota of
$50, 100000, the state ran up a total
of more than S47,00O,000. In this
Topeka led the nation for cities of its
population with a showing of 202 per
cent. of its quota.

FOOD
POLICY SAVED
DAY FOR ALLIES

Gwen the most ardent admirers of
the United States-and I count my
self to be among them-must be as
founded at what the American people
have accomplished in their first year
in the war. When America came
in we all realized that her potential
resources of men, money and material
were unequalled either by friend or
foe, but we also knew that these re-
sources were unorganized, her men I'M
trained, and her shipping facilities I'M
developed. In one year the United
States has done most of the things we
have not yet done.
AS Food Controller of the United
Kingdom I can say without hesita-
ton that had it not been for the estab-
lishment by President Wilson and
Congress of a Food Administration
and for the~superb generalship of Mr.
Hoover as Food Administrator the
outlook for the Allies would be very
black indeed. Neither American nor
allied troops can fight on empty stem
achs, and the civilian populations in
their rear cannot provide them with
money, munitions or moral support
unless they have maximum of es-
sential food wherewith to maintain
output and efficiency. The wonder
full organization on behalf of the Al
lies and of Americas own military eff
fort and of the food resources of Unit
ed States, although only legalized
eight months ago, has so far enabled
us to defy the menace of famine.
But if we are to fight through tc
the finish no compulsory restrictions
of rationing which I have imposed OF
may impose, and no sacrifice which
our people here may make will be OF
avail unless the American people keeI
up full head of steam and continue
to provide to the utmost of their pa
triotism and their capacity these fooG
supplies upon which war depends"

BUSINESS MUST LIVE TO SERVE.

However, we should not forget that
business must live so that it may
serve the country, and while we look
to each individual to do his part in
upholding the government, so must
the government do its part to uphold
business. If business, even non-es-
sential business, is so discouraged as
to stop entirely, it might spread this
influence of inactivity even to those
industries which are vital and essen
tial to the needs of the nation today
While of course the nations re-
quirements and demands for war
purposes are naturally inherently
paramount, a constructive policy
should be pursued in drawing the line
of damarcation between the essential
and non essential business of the
country. The essential needs must
be enforced: the non-essential bust
ness should not be unnecessarily dis
couraged!

AUTO -INTOXlCATION
OR SELF POISONING
"FRUTT-A-TIvEs' Absolutely Pre-
vents This Dangerous Condition.

The chief cause ct poor health is
our neglect of the bowels. Waste
matter, instead of passing from the
lower intestine regularly every day,
is allowed to remain there, generating
poisons which are absorbed by the
blood.
In other words, a person who is
habitually constipated, is poisoning
himself. We know now that Aut0-
amortization, due to non-action of the
bowels, is directly responsible for
serious Kidney aad Bladder Troubles;
that it upsets the Stomach, causes
Indigestion, Loss of Appetite and
Sleeplessness; that chronic Rheum-
atism, Gout, Pain In The Back, are
relieved as soon as the bowels become
regular and that Pimples, Rashes,

This is not the first Polish Army to

AUSTRIA'S BATH OF BLOOD.

There can be little doubt that Ger
many drove Austria-Hungary to the
offensive. Possibly she believed that
a bath in blood would restore the fail
ing vigor of the Dual Empire. The
Allies were under a similar Illusion
when they urged an offensive upon
Kerensky. The Allied cause was the
loser in that episode; the German
cause may be the loser in the present
case. But there is another possible
explanation of Germany's action in
urging AustriaHungary to force the
Pave line. Germany.~it seems evil
dent, intends to launch a peace Of
fensive when her military has attained
It's maximum practicable results. That
means, while she still has reserves
enough to check a counter offensive
that would stiffen Allied morale to the
rejection of any German terms. The
case for a German peace would be
stronger if Austria-H Hungary also was
displaying Offensive strength, It
would not be necessary that the Dual
Empire should prove capable of sus-
tanning a. prolonged offensive if this
were the object of German Political
strategy. An appearance of great
strength, maintained for few weeks,
would be sufficient to exert a pro-
nounced< influence upon the course of
peace negotiations.-The New Re-

that a three inch black band should

vice, and that the band shall be worn
on the left arm. I hope and believe
that thoughtful people everywhere will
approve of this action, and I hope
you will be kind enough to make the

The Woman's Committee of the

man of the federal woman's commit
| iiiiiiiiinnnoo
tee. the following statement in this
matter 1.-THE desire to avoid the
usual symbols of mourning on the
part of those who have relatives in the
army and especially those who have
lost their loved ones in the country's
service is highly patriotic and to be
commended. The constant remind
err of losses and sorrow must tend to
depress the spirit of the people and
develop a feeling of helplessness and
despair not in keeping with the SUI
preme sacrifices which our fighting
rnen and toiling women in the field Of
action are making. This badge is not
so much symbol of mourning as OF
the rank of those who have been
counted worthy to make the supreme
sacrifice for their country and human

In bringing this matter to the at
Etention of this state, the woman's
committee of the Connecticut defense
council says that the federal woman's
committee feels that, if long before
any large casualty lists come into this
country, Americas women determine
that their attitude, in spirit and sym

glory in the great cause rather thar
of isolated mourning and depression
