Reliable physicians believe that
broken down nerve tissues need not
n bracer but a builder like Phos-
pilates and Iron. To get these essen
tial food tonics to the nerves has
long been the big question.
A successful physician says, "Phos-
phated Iron is an especially adapted
discovery that has solved the prob
lem Of giving Phosphates and Iron in
such a way that the nervous system
can actually take hold Of it,
Another. an equally important mis-
sion Of Phosphated Iron, is to build
up anaemic (thin. weak. watery)
blood by charging it with good
health giving Iron.
A leading doctor says. "Phosphated
Iron is the best Iron tonic that I have
ever prescribed. its results are re-
markable.
Strengthening the nerves, building
up their starved tissues and re-
charging weak. watery blood with the
great health restoratives, Iron and

streets in their columns Of squads.
Picture column after column, side oy

after hour with open sights! It's
nothing more or less than senseless
slaughter. Germans attack over fields
paved with their dead and dying
comrades. 1t is a marvellous exhibit
ton of discipline, but how long can
the German High Command throttle
clamor against such unbelievable
brutality?
And yet they MUST go on. You
know what it means if they go back.
1t must mean that Are the Germans
such sheep that they would stand
that realization Of their own doom
under the lash Of Hohenzollernism?
Are the Prussian leaders such fools
that they will continue? They have
failed. They have tested all sectors

with the strongest assaults they
could muster. and there has been but
one result. They have pushed back

Attempt. probably. to secure some
kind of peace while they hold on to
what they have. To hold on they
must continue to attack, because they
fear if they stop the Allies will start
a counter offensive. They must con-
tnue to throw their shells into allied
positions, striving in desperation's
panic not to let the Allies know how
weak they are become.
THE allied generals must laugh at
the enemy's forces drawn from their
own strongholds into trenches and
shelters wrecked and nearly useless
where they must refortify: drawn
away from efficient lines of commun-
! ication: drawn hopelessly and help
! lessly across useless country-and
the bodies Of Germans. who a few
days ago. days Of hell, lived as they
are living and died as they seem GER

morale-cannot stand it. The weak

cut a road to Lille, 20 miles away.
Nothing could save tho German
hosts in the North. Ypres is 20
miles north of Lille, with all the

T. is a natter Of surprise to many that the chautauqua can handle a big

will be staged just IS 1t as played in the big cities.
AS Is well known. "The Melting Pot is a drama in or acts, which pr-
trays American citizenship in the making TINT is, the fuxing and fusing OF
the numerous races and nauonauues that make up our population.
This is a company Of ten players, and the great American drama will be
presented by actors of reputation, who al make the great moral lessons Of
the play stand out in all their power.
This Is a most opportune time for bringing this great play Il the Chauhu.

In addition to being q great entertainments, "The Melting Potn carriesa so

without the sanction of the majority
Of the Odd Fellows as q Lodge.
We have been forced &c make a
nominal charge for the use of the
Opera House and expect that the gen.
cral public will appreciate the fact
that from a financial standpoint the
investment in such a building is a
very poor one at that. We are forced
to pay "a large a tax as anyone would
on the same property. We also pay
a war tax and . license, and have
been doing this for several years.
Now we wish to state that because
we asked the sum of So. 90 for the
use of the hall on a very recent occa-
sion, we were classed as unpatriotic.
We think that any fair-minded person
ought to be capable of seeing that it
would be very greedy for anyone to
expect the few Odd Fellows of this
city to furnish q meeting place for
anybody else (gratis) any longer in
face of such an expense account. If
that kind of business is necessary our
city ought to provide for it, in our
opinion, so that the expense would be
divided among the masses of people
and not or only q few. We are q
patriotic organization from start to
finish and have been rendering every
assistance possible to our government
in its present struggle and are not
entitled to any such defaming epitheti
as tight wads'' or an "~unpatriotie

LOCAL BOARD TO
PUT FARMERS IN
DEFERRED CLASS
NOT NECESSARY FOR THOSE In
CLASS ONE ON FARM TO COME
HERE PERSONALLY = ORDERS
RECEIVED TODAY.

All men in Sumter county who are
farmers, or farm laborers, and are in
Glass One. will now be put in de-
ferred class, so they can stay on the
farms until after the crops.
1t will not be necessary for them to
come to the local exemption board at
all, as they will be taken care of in
that respect Neither are their en-
ployers required to appear here.
The local board today received or
ders, part of which read as follows:
"The situation arising from, the
scarcity arising from the scarcity O.
farm labor demands that the call to
the colors of men actively, complete
" and assiduously engaged in the
planting or cultivation of a crop, but
who are in Glass One and within the
new quota, should be deferred until
the end of the new quota. Please in
struct your local boards, therefore,
that the president directs that, in fill
ing this emergency call, they shall
pass the order numbers of such men
and defer their call for the present.
1t must be borne in mind that this
step is taken solely in the need of the
nation, and not for the benefit of any
individual Therefore, while boards
should consider it a grave duty to eX-
ercise this power to conserve and aug
ment the agricultural production, they
should observe closely the conduct of
tohse deferred and Immediately upon
becoming convinced that any person so
dc erred is not giving his entire time
and earnest attention to agricultural
duty, or that he is trifiing with the
deferment thus granted him, the board
should forthwith call him to the col
ors. All citizens should assist in MAX
ing this expedient effective. and in
bringing to the attention of the boards
cases meriting deferment, as well as
cases in which deferment is being
abused"
