Interesting Letter From Dr.. Gardner

sick call for the different organiza-
tions and detachments that come in
to the camp without. medical officers,
and do ward work.
Some days have very little to do
while at other times / am busy from
morning till night. However, it all
seems to agree with me for I have
gained about 20 pounds since I left
the States.
We have had some very cold
weather since the first Of December
and the ground has oeen covered with
snow for nearly week. 1t 10 still
showing but some warmer.
Well, France is a great place. Ger
tainly it is beautiful country, pref
ty chateaux with beautiful grounds.
OF course they are not as we'll kept
now on account Of the scarcity of
labor. The roads are grand, with a
row of beautiful trees on either side.
The people have been very nice
to us and are anxious to help us out
in every way. Very few speak Eng
lish, however, and as haven't learn
ed any French l do not have much
chance to talk with the people.
wish l could be at home for a
while now and talk to some of the
people l know who have 'pet" ideas
about the war and It's progress and
| effects. I think | could state few
facts that would kill few opinions
that heard before leaving home.
1 do not know anyone who had
grasped the situation as it really is
1t is now regarded here that all talk
of an early peace is German propa.
ganda and those engaging in it are
classed as allies of the kaiser, for ar
early peace can only be a German
made peace, German victory. Sucl
talk, therefore :; Of course very
harmful and dangerous. woulc
like to write more, but will have tt
stop for this time.
| Give all the good people of Ches
terlield my very Ccst wishes and tel
them l hope to be back with then
some day.
With very best regards,
l am yours truly,

BE AN AGENT;
HELP YOUR COUNTY

Charleston, Jan.-"Wc intend to
make it as easy for anyone to pur-
chase war thrift or war savings
stamp as it is for anyone to buy q
stick of gum," was the statement
made today by P. M. Rea, war-sav-
.ngs vice-director for the state of
South Carolina, in formally announc-
ing a special drive which has been in
'tituted for the purpose of securing
agents in the sale of war savings
stamps.
Of about $4,000 authorized agen-
cies which the government hopes to
appoint before the first of February,
South Cardinals allotment is 5,489.
Of this quota, the state has respond
ed with only "a per cent, only 1856
agents having been appointed
through January Is, according to Of
fetal advices received from Wash
ington. Of 52 quotas, South Caro-
lima is 47th, or only 9th, from the
last, and it is this fact that has
prompted the war savings committee
to make special drive towards Sc
curing agents. Application blanks
may be secured from pastoffices,
county chairman, or second class
agents, such as banks, and should be
signed and SEM to the state head
quarters in Charleston, r. G.. Rhctt,
director. Application should be made
at Shce.
We expect to have q sales aeen-
cy for every 800 population" Mr..
Rea stated. "Any individual, firm.
store, or corporation may become an
agent by making application. It en-
tails no expense, whatever, and helps
the patriotic work considerably. To
sell these stamps for the government
is to take care Of our boys at the
front, to help win the war and to in
crease the economic strength of our
state and nation"

Dec. 29, 1917
Editor The Advertiser:
I have been in France since Oct.
9Th and have intended to write you,
as you requested, for some time,
but have been to busy to do much
writing except to my family and
home folks.
l had very delightful trip COM
ing over and it was my happy priv
ilege to visit great many places of
interest, all Of which I would be only
too glad to describe to you but as
we can't mention the names of the
places we stopped the description
would be Of little interest
There were three other doctors
with me from South Carolina and
we were together all the way over
and every place we stopped we look
ed up the hospitals and visited them.
We were treated mighty fine and
were shown everything there was to
see. We were treated as the very
best and every courtesy was shown
us.
After reaching headquarters, A.
E. F., we four were assigned to diff
ferent organizations, and was
lucky enough to be assigned to a
base hospital on the lines Of com
!nunication.
When l reached the hospital was
assigned to the medical staff unde,
man who is very prominent in medi.
cine in the States, but l was there
only ten days and / was detailed OF,
temporary duty to one of the larg,
camps to open up n camp hospital
and have been on duty here since
though I am still attached to tho
base hospital.
The work here is very interesting
We have had the camp hospital ope.
now about ten days and we have ha,
a great variety of cases; in fact w,
are kind Of clearing house for the
sick or the various organizations tha
are passing through the camp. w,
keep the light or simple cases an
treat them and all serious cases W.
transfer to the base hospital.
My duties are various. am az
,slstant to the camp surgeon and
have to do sanitary inspection. holc

Sweet POTATO PIE
BECOMES A LUXURY

The price of sweet potato pie took
an upward bound yesterday to the
CONSERVATION of a number of patrons
of a largely-pat ronized Main street
lunch room. Ii now costs 7 cents to
get a small slice of SWEET potato pie
and a glass of milk.
The price of apple and raisin pie
up to late hour last night remained
at the old price OF jitney. although
beans, accompanied by a very thin
slice of ham. still fingers at the two
bit figure.
No excuse was forthcoming when
the girl behind the counter was asked
why potato pie had gone. up.
Everything is going up, amt IT.,
mister" was all the satisfaction the
hungry one received.
They'll come around when they
get hungry" commented another Of
the girls.
1t was hoped by a number of the
patrons of the establishment that
when the council Of defense begins its
investigation into food profteering
the reasons may be learned why the
price of sweet potatoe pie is increased.

OF Live Stock.

Colonel Charles r. Kelley, executive
secretary of the state council of de-
Tense, yesterday summoned the claim
agents o. eight Virginia railroads TO
his office and asked them for their
cooperation in movement designed
to reduce TO a minimum the number
of live stock killed annually along the
rights of way of the several carriers.
Colonel Kelley asked the agents to
supply him with figures indicating the
number of animals killed each year
by the respective roads. also respect
ing their value and the quantity of
meat, leather, bone, etc, needlessly
wasted.
Colonel Kelley asked for the CO.
operation of the railroads in a fencing
system designed to further the con-
servation OF live stock. The agents
assured him that. where an investiga-
ton disclosed that results justified
the expense OF erecting safety fences
they would cooperate to their fullest
extent
Colonel Kelley also asked that the
several roads submit to him models
of their present cattle guards. with
the view of standardizing the most
practicable and efYicacious.
The matter Of the conservation OF
human life by providing adequate
safeguards also was touched upon,
One railroad. II is said, kills more
human beings annually than cattle.
