SpartanburG, June l1.-Onc of tho
most daring robbcrics ever ATTEMPTED
IN Spartanburg was pcrpctratcd Thurs
daE at o'clock when an unknown sol
dier entered the store of II. SkalowSl,i.

point Of pistol, handcuffcd them. tied
gagged thcm and thcn proceeded TO
rob the store OF $50 in cash and al
least one ring. 1t is possible that
more jcwclry was taken, for an in
vcntory Of the stock has not yet been
taken.
The robbery was attempted in broad
daylight, and its success is doubtless
due to this fact and the extremely
great nerve Of the soldier robbcr. The
city police and the military authori-
ties have been on the lookout for the
robbers, and have made a diligent
search for him, but so far their cr-
forts have been unavailable. No clue
as to the identity Of the robbcr. It's
not known whether or not he is sta
1ioncd at Camp Wadsworth. He rep
resented himself to the store keeper
as military policeman, but it is very
probable that he is a civilian mas
qucrading in the uniform Of the Unit
cd States.
J. r. Simpson, ihc manager of the
store, states that n 9 O'Clock this
morning the soldier entered the shop
stating that he was a military police
man and desired 10 buy Il pair Of hand
cuffs. Harry Roth, a clerk. took soy

All Banks to Help.

The report that only banking insti-
tutions qualified as United States Gov
ernment depositaries would be allowed
to take subscriptions for the Fourth
Liberty Loan has been emphaticaliy
denied.
"The Treasury Department" says
Secretary McAdoo, desires that all
banking institutions shall continue In
the future as they have in the past
patriotically to assist and cooperate
during the various campaigns for the
sale of Government securities"
Secretary McAdoo's often expressed
gratitude and appreciation of the pa
triotism and the wonderful effective
ness of the work of the banks of the
country in the past Liberty Loan cam
paigns would seem absolutely to mega
tive any idea that he would refuse to
avail himself of their assistance In
future campaigns.

Soldier and Sailor Insurance.

Secretary McAdoo has received the
following cablegram from General Per-
shing:
"All ranks of the American Expe-
ditionary Forces appreciate deeply the
generous measure the Government has
taken to provide insurance for their
families, in proof Of which more than
80 per cent Of men have taken out in
surance. To wisely provision for their
loved ones heartens our men and
strengthens the bonds that unite the
Army and people in our strong deter
mination to triumph in our most
righteous cause"
The Bureau of War-Risk Insurance
up 10 June 2S has written $21.566,-
100000 insurance, representing 2,570,-
455 applications. The average amount
of insurance applied for is $S,387, and
in some battalions and regiments,
some in France and some here, every
man has taken out insurance. In
some units every man is insured for
the maximum $4,000.
One of the American generals says
that this Government insurance is an
element of victory. All Liberty Bond
holders and all purchasers of War
Savings Stamps may feel that they had
part in this insurance-the most just
and humane provision ever made by
any nation for its fighting men.

Food Hint for Today
Fruit Juices Take no Sugar.

Homemade fruit juices take no
sugar and may be used during the win
ter months in vaiety Of ways, ac-
cording to specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. One
important use for fruit juices is in
the making of jellies at time of year
when sugar Or its substitutes may be
more plentiful and when it is more
convenient to do the work. In this
way freshly made jellies may be avail
able all through the winter.
Fruit juice may be pressed out of
fruit by means of cider press, special
fruit press, or other improvised pres
ses; then heated in an acid-proof ket-
tie up to 110 degrees F. The fruit
juice may then be poured into ordi-
nary hot jars, hot bottles or tin cans,
and handled by the same directions
as those for canning of fruit itself. II
poured into miscellaneous bottles 1T
is suggested that the fruit juice be
sterilized as follows:
Make a cotton stopper and press
into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles in boiling hot water up to the
neck of the bottle, sterilize the fruit
juice for 40 minutes at a temperature
of 165 degrees F. Remove the prod
uct, press cork in top over cotton stop
per Immediately If the cork fits well
no paraff1n need be used. If poor
cork, it may be necessary to dip the
cork in a melted solution of wax OF
parafin. Fruit juices and apple cider
when handled in this way will moi
''flatten in taste" and will keep fresh
for future use.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 15.-The

lie that steps will be taken at once to

SSLIM' CHANCES

Great as the danger and large al
the losses in the aggregate, the indi
vidual soldier has plenty of chances
of coming out of the war unscathed
or at least not badly injured" de-
clares an International slip being
sent over the United States.
Among other things, it is stated that
a soldier has only one chance out oi
twenty-nine of being killed. This
statement is supported by statistics
of mortality from the Allies armies
and have been got together to root
out of some persons minds that their
sons will never come back, once he
enlists to help preserve the honor of
the Nation. Yet some persons say:
"Oh, so you are in the infantry, or
cavalry, or machine gun organization.
Well, you know that the average life
is six minutes, or something to that
effect" This gets the soldier to think
ing "well, / don't care If a U-boat
does sink our transport going over"
If wounded, soldier boy has forty
nine chances to get well to one chance
to die from the effects of his wounds.
Tales are spread, no doubt by German
propagandists, that there is no anti
septic in the hospitals where the
Americans are brought; that the doc
tors are unskilled and nurses rich
women who know and care only for
show. Well, if this were true, would
the country of Liberty have nurses or
hospitals? 9
Another frequently spoken fear"
is utterly discarded A soldier has one
chance in 500 of losing limb!
Other fears" are answered by
showing that men will live five years
longer because Of physical training:
that they are freer from disease in
the Army than they would be at home
and they have better medical care at
the front than in civil life. In previ-
Gus wars from ten to fifteen men died
from disease to one from bullets; to-
day, one man dies from disease to
every ten from bullets.
Let us remember that to those of our
fighting men who do not return
scathless and their dependents, and
the dependents of those who make the
supreme sacrifice for their country,
the Government gives protection un-
der the sailors and soldiers insurance
law.

FOR PHYSICAL TRAINING

Some school authorities, anxious to
assist in any move that would aid in
making the world safe for democracy,
or develop a state of preparedness
to resist militarism, are introducing
military training.
This introduction should be carefully
considered Thinking men among the
officers of the allies, even the German
leaders, do not approve of its intro
duction. The most thoughtful of the
military leaders of America prefer
that the military training of youth
should not begin before he is 10. Ed
ward B. De Groot, an American au-
thority, says, Germany and France.
nations which have overlooked moth
ing Of value in military preparation
and practice, have tried and discarded
the training of schoolboys in military
science He classes the majority Of
the enthusiastic advocates for the in
production with misguided amatueres
in the field of military affairs, and
says they mistake a stuffed goose for
an American eagle" To his opinion
may be added that of Baden-Powell
who says, ''If you want to spoil SOL
der give a boy military training,
There seems to be a strong senti-
ment against the military training OF
young boys, among military men, and
it would be wise to go slow. All,
however, favor physical training; the
physical training that will develop
selfreliance, selfcontrol, effectiveness
and happiness. Physical effectiveness
we need whether we are at war or at
peace. There will be great need for
skilled fingers and bodies after the
war in carrying on all varieties Of in
dustries. 1t is to our school boys we
will turn for laborers to reconstruct
the industrial life both in this coun-
try and in Europe, Statistics state
that of the 35,OOO,OOO man power in
the United States 100000 has been
drawn off for war work. The school
boy of today will have to fill the de-
pleted ranks. The worker in the mills
will not come back from his shoulder
ing with added efficiency. We must
train our school boys. Which will give
most efficient fingers, minds and
bodies? Consider the subject well be-
fore adopting military training for
the boy of 10 and less.
