CLEMSON TO OPEN SEPT. 18TH.
President Riggs Gives Reasons for
Postponement in Opening.

Clemson College, Aug. Nv. NJ
Riggs, president of Clemson College,
has announced that the opening date
of the college session has been post
poned one week, so that instead Of
September ii the time will be Sep
tember is, This means that old stu
dents will report September II in or
der to begin class work on the morn
ing of September 8. The new stu
dnets will report September 20 to
begin work on the morning Of Sep
tember q.
Several reasons make the change
in date necessary
l. A good many Of the cadet Off
GERS are now in training at Platts-
burg, having been selected as merit
ing a second course in order to fit
them to help with the military in
struction work during the session.
These men will not be through with
the Plattsburg training until Sep
tember &c.
ent detachment Of enlisted men now
receiving technical instruction here
will not be completed until Septem-
Der 9Th, and there would not be time
to get these men away and make
ready for the opening of the session
on September 11th.
3. On account of the shortage of
labor, especially on the farms, many
students are needed at home as long
as is possible.
4. There is yet more or less un-
certainty as to the organization Of
military matters. especially concern
ing the rules governing the Student
Army Training Corps. DR.. Riggs is
to attend meeting, or conference, on
September 8, in regard to the SAT.
G. and its relation to the R.O.T.C., the
details Of which could not be an
nounced in time to open the college
on the earlier date.

(Greenville News.)

In considering the casualty lists as
member a story of French battalion
told in recent war dispatch. While
the battalion was drawn up for the
distribution of medals, visitor hap
pened to ask how many had been
wounded. The commander did not
known, but proceeded at once to find
out.
lie started by asking all the men
who had been wounded five times to
step forward. Forty-siX left the
ranks. He then called for those with
fewer wounds, in a descending scale
There were rs who had been wound
ed four times, 1914 who had been
wounded three times, 1O1 wounded
twice and 1872 wounded once. That
left two men out Of the coo who were
free from wounds. They hung their
heads in shame, and actually wept as
their comrades laughed at them, un-
til their commander restored their
self-respect by going up to them,
opening their coats and showing the
war cross ribbons on the breasts won
for distinguished gallantry. "lt is
not their fault" he explained.
The story might end right there.
1t is complete in itself. an appealing
little picture of the war as fought so
devotedly for four years by the brave
| men Of France. But it has its lseson
for our own army and people at this
time, particularly, when we are be-
ginning to feel the human cost of our
victories.
Let us consider the fact that out of
600 French fighters, taken at ran
dom, sos had been wounded any
where from one to five times, and
that every man Of them was there on
the job just the same, sound enough
to lick more than his weight in Prus-
slams.
Don't worry, then, when you hear
that son or brother or friend is
wounded. Wounds on the average
mean little IN this war, particularly
on the allied side, where injuries are
so promptly and wonderfully cared
for that about nine-t ,nths out of ten
they leave the victim practically as
able-bodied as he was before.

nl-Fitting Harness.

Very often animals on the farm
are rendered unfit for service by ILL
fitting harness. Horses and mules
that are worked steadily at hard
work, or young horses and mules
which are not accustomed to work,
are most liable to such injury. The
collar, saddle and other parts of the
harness improperly fitted and ad-
justed. bring undue pressure on those
parts Of the animal they come in con-
tact with. This is the cause Of sore
shoulders, sore neck, sit-fasts, gall
ing and chatting.
The most helpful treatment in
such cases is to correct the ill-fltting
parts of the harness. Not enough
attention Is given to the proper fit
ting of harness. A collar fitted pro-
perly distributes the weight to all
parts of the shoulders. Such a col
lar is neither too small nor too large
at the top. Guard against the use of
old, ill-fitting, lumpy collars. Col
lars and harness properly adjusted
for one horse should not he wori: ed
on another animal. Farmers who
use badly worn and sweat-soaked
pads may expect trouble. A clean
and dry pad is useful in preventing
Calling.
Surfaces Of collars and sad lies
which come in contact with the aGi-
NAL sh ,nld be kept smooth aud clean
When work first starts in the spring
1t Is good plan to bathe the should
ers and those parts of the back where
the backband rests with cold water
night and morning. "a good prevent
i've Of chatting to use is Lead ace
tate, two ounces; zinc sulphate,
one and one half ounces in one-half
gallon of water. This treatment may
be used once each day. A clean,
smooth leather pad for the top of the
collar Is also a useful preventive and
curative agent
In treating gals dry dressings or
ointments may be used A good
busting powder may be made OF tan
mic acid, one ounce; boracic acid,
four ounces, and calomel, two
ounces This may be busted over
the parts twice each day. Areas
which are dry and abrased may be
treated by applying cotton seed oil,
four ounces; fannie acid, one-half
ounce, and carbolic ecid, one drain.
When growths or enlargements oc-
cur from ill-fltting harness consult a
veterinarian for treatment or an ope-
ration.

CAIIOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes Into Sour Bile, Making You
Sick and You Lose Days Work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamiate on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for few cents
which is a harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and If 1t oesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better
and quicker than ma. ty calomel and
without making you sick, you just go
back and get your money.
If you take calomel to-day you'll
be sick and nauseated tomorrow;
besides, 1t may salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play.
It's harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.-Adv.

Did you ever pipe a ball player be-

gridiron athlete being hurried out
from the side lines when the game
was all knotted up, or scrapper

ring In big bout?
Did you ever hark to the ad-

The manager or the coach or the

Now, Harold, / wish you to do

Or:
archibald, expect great things
from your coming endeavor"
Or:

exhibition as soon as possible"
Nothing like that. They say
"Get in there! Knock 'em dead"
And the boys sta rting for the ac-

but hearty slap on the back-and
that's the best encouragement reg
ular man can get.
That's the way we should send in

Don't weep over them! They're

twenty-five of the "a hangers on

were blown down and many airplanes
destroyed or entirely swept away by
the tropical storm which struck this
region late yesterday, according to
word received here tonight.
Two men were killed at Gerstner

storm which swept this section yes

stricken area has reached 10 dead
and 20 seriously injured. The list
Is being added to by mail and mes

Brief Warming.
With scarcely any warning the
West Indian hurricane, which swept
in from the gulf yesterday, struck
Lake Charles virtually with its full
force and left ruin in its wake. The
storm began shortly after noon and
continued its violence for nearly
three hours. The wind blew at ter
rife rate, accompanied by torrents Of
rain.
A conservative estimate Of mate
rial damage is placed at $1,000,000.
1t is believed this amunt may be
somewhat exceeded when all points
in the path Of the storm are heard
from.
"A remarkable feature of the storm
