Order Men to Shear Sheep

You don't know where Akra Is. May

today luminous as the banner Red
Cross town In the world.
When the war broke out Akra FORM
ed a Red Cross society and all the
women, married, manageable, old
maids and girls that could ply needle

ran out Of yarn. Headquarters couldn't
supply them and committees sent to

sad word that no yarn was to be had
anywhere. We're the women and girls
Jet us not forget the girls-dismayed
by this condition, or did they use It to

diately they called council Of war to
circumvent another German machina-

went forth to the husbands and sweet
hearts that wool must be had or they

Terrapin Now Successfully
Bred at Biological Station

At the United States biological sta.
ton, Beaufort, N. c., they are breeding
now l,60O terrarins in the pounds, be-
diamond-back terrapin. There are
now LOGO terrapins In the pounds, be-
sides the young of 1916. The expert
ments prove that this most delicious
OF all the turtle tribe can be grown
and kept in vigorous condition In clp-
tlvity.
In report to Science Samuel II.
Hildebrand, the director, says: ut
has been known for some time
that a female terrapin may lay
twice In single season, but during
the past season through the discovery
OF II nests, averaging eight eggs
to a nest, in a pen where only four
females are confined, 1t is evident that
female may lay as often as three
times In single season."

America I am looking fer a recipe
for success from the men who have
gone over the top" in various lines
Of work. Therefore what Andrew
Carnegie, the shrawd Scotch multi
millionaire, says on that subject is
Of interest to me: ''The curse of
drink is the cause of more failures
in life than anything else Liquor
will conquer you a million chances
to one if you give it sway"
Sixth Boy: The argument Thomas
Edison, the electrical wizard, gives,
strikes me as all sufficient to settle
the question. When Frances Willard
asked Mr.. Edison to tell her why he
never drank any alcoholic beverages,
he answered simply, 81 always
thought l had better use for my
head" Another time he said, "Ciga-
rettes and alcohol go well together,
for they accomplish wonders in re-
ducing men to vicious animals"
Seventh Boy: The other boys have
given some mighty convincing argu-
ments. but l think one of the greatest
Americans, Abraham Lincoln, sum-
med then, al up II the historic pledge
he wrote and signed with his own
hand in his early life and kept to the
day of his death. Every n of US
should learn it by heart, write it
out and sign it. 1t reads: "Whereas,
the use of alcoholic liquors as a bev-
erage is productive CT pauperism, de-
graduation and crime land believing
it is our duty to discourage that
which produces more evil than good,
we therefore pledge ourselves to alb
stain from the use of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage"

Five Bottles Of Car5ui
Made Her Well.

Kathleen, Fla.-Mrs. Dallas Prime,
of this place, says: "After the birth
Of my last child...I got very much
rundown and weakened, so much
that l could hardly do anything at
all. I was SO awfully nervous that
I could scarcely endure the least
noise. My condition was getting
worse all the time.
/ knew I must have some relief or
I would soon be in the bed and In a.
serious condition for I felt so badly
and was so nervous and weak I could
hardly live. My husband asked DR..
about my taking Cardui. He,
said, It's a good medicine, and good
for that trouble, so he got me 5 bot
ties. After about the second bottle I
felt greatly improved. before taking
it my limbs and hands and arms
would go to sleep. After taking it.,
however, this poor circulation disap-
peared. My strength came back to
me and l. was soon on the road to
health. After the use of about 5 bot.
ties, I could do all my Homework

You can feel safe in giving Cardui
a thorough trial for your troubles. 1t
contains no harmful or habit-forming
drugs, but is composed of mild, vege-

bad after-effects. Thousands of women
have voluntarily written, telling Of
the good Cardui has done them. It

Exercise by Seven Boys. Each
gives a different reason for his be-
lief in total abstinence as the rule of
his lie.
FIRST Boy: 1 want to become a
strong healthy man, so l shall have
nothing to do with alcoholic drinks.
You may wonder why l am SC posi-
tive about total abstinence being nee
essary to health. I've good authority
for It, for didn't Dr.. Arthur Dean
Bevan, president of the American
Medical Association, representing
three or four thousand Of the finest
physicians of America, say at the
last convention of the association:
'sAmong the greatest wrongs so long
tolerated none has done more injury
to mankind than drink. Science and
educ25ion should eliminate not only
plaques and epidemics but also the
curse Of drink from the world"
Second Boy: I too am determined
to live a life OF total abstinence, for
1 believe it is one of the fundamen-
tails Of success. l should like to be-
come such a man as John Wanama-
ker, the merchant prince of Philadel-
phia, a lifelong teetotaler, who, even
when ne was Postmaster General of
the United States and was obliged
to entertain foreign officials whom
everyone was expected with strong
drink, had the moral courage to re-
fuse to have liquor in his home or
at his table. 'sIf we expect others. not
to drink we must not drink our
Selves" said Mr.. Wanamaker. EN-
ployers-~ especially should not drink
if they expect their employees not to
indulge"
Third Boy: A rule that is good
enough for the United States Navy
is good enough for me, and the fact
that the no-liquor order of Secretary
Josephus Daniels has resulted in max
ing our Navy 100 per cent efficient
is all the reason l need for keeping
on the "water wagon" all my life.
Fourth Boy: Listen to what that
fearless man at the head of u Ar
my in France, General John j. Per
shing, has to say: 81 know that alco-
hol is the greatest foe my men In the
Army have, greater even than the
bullets of the enemy" That settles
the question for me, for want to
make myself fit to defend my country
on the battlefield in its hour of need

WHISKY MONEY SPENT FOR
WAR SAYINGS STAMPS AND
LIBERTY BONDS, SAYS MAY
OR OF COLUMBIA, 5. C.

The mayor of the city of Columbia,
5. c., in a recent letter &c Mrs. JOS
eph Sprott, president South Carolina
w. C. T. u, declared:
"It is a pleasure for me to state
that Camp Jackson, which is located
four miles from Columbia, has been
highly commended by the military au-
thorities as being one of the best dis
ciplined environments of the national
Army. This is largely due to the fact
that South Carolina is a dry state.
The records show that the number of
cases docketed at police court has
been materially reduced since proh:-
bition went into effect. We have very
few cases of d~isorderly conduct eth
er against soldiers or civilians. The
most practical evidence of the good
of prohibition is the fact that the SOL
diers and civilians who formerly
spent their wages for whisky are now
buying War Savings Stamps and Lib
erty Bonds. l believe the day of ma
tional prohibition is dawning and l
am sure that it will work the same
good for the general welfare and up
lift of the people in other states that
it has in South Carolina.
"Wishing you much continued sue
cess in the splendid work you are do
ing, am,
yours very sincerely,
"R. j. Blalock,
Mayor"

Selected quotations to be learned
each recited by a different child:
What you would weave into the
life of a nation, put in the public
schools"
Write it underneath your feet,
Up and down the busy street.
Write it for the great and small,
In the palace, cottage hall
Where's there's. drink, there's dan
ger"
"The first little drop of strong drink
that is taken
Is the first step to ruin we children
all know.
If the first little drop be in earnest
forsaken
We shall never be drunkards, oh,
never, oh, no."
Science is on the side of temper
ance reform. Each child should enact
against all evil habits a prohibitory
law for one-that one himself; de-
clare that law constitutional in the
supreme court of his own judgment
and enforce it by the executive of his
own will, worked, as I believe that
will to be in everything that is good
and true, by the blessed will of God.
