ABBEVILLE COUNTY
BIBLE SOCIETY

The Bible Society of Abbeville
has had many important
years in it's history, but never a
more important year than the pres
ent. In fact, all branches of the
American Bible Society have shown
so much interest in our soldiers that
the work they are doing should ap-
peal to US as patriots no less than
as lovers of the Bible. In other
words, the meetings of the County
Bible Society to be held at Able
vile on the 31st of July should be
the occasion of a great patriotic
rally. Let US all try to make it
such. Let all pastors of churches
and all presidents of local societies
see that delegates are sent up with
good collections.
Will not the pastors in .AbbeviIle
urge the Importance and the privil-
eye of attendance? Will not all the
lawyers, the merchants, and the
business men in general make it a
point to attend? Would it not be
a fine tribute to a great cause if
all business would suspend for one
hour that day and make the day
memorable in the history Of the So
ciety? Let us do so. Let none of
US be slackers. Let. US have a
large and enthusiastic audience to
hear what the speaker will tell US
Of the great work that the American
Bible Society is doing for God and
humanity. '

VOLUNTEERS FOR ARMY UN-
DER 10 YEARS. NOT WANTED

The minimum age limit for volun-
tary enlistment in the United States
Army is fixed by Congress at 10
years. There have been so many ap-
plications for releases from the Ar
my of boys under this age who have
enlisted that Adjt. Gen. Henry P.
Mccain has issued the following cir
cular letter:
"The large number of applications
received from parents and guardians
for the discharge of minors under
IS years of age, inclosing satisfac-
tory evidence that the soldier is un-
der this age, indicates the necessity
of more care on the part of recruit
ing officers in order to avoid unnec-
,cessary expense to the Government
and annoyance to troops in the field
in the subsequent discharge of such
men, and to avoid placing a blot for
life on the record of a boy whose
offense of misstatement of his age
arises usually from a patriotic de-
sire to serve his country.
thereafter no applicant under the
registration age will be accepted or
enlisted until he has proven to the
complete satisfaction of the recruit
ing officer that he has reached the
age of Is years. The proof re-
quired will be (a) birth certificate,
baptismal record, or school certifi-
cate, or, in case (a) is not available,
(b) affidavit of parent or Of guar
dian with legal evidence of guardian
ship"

AN OLD RECIPE
TO DkRKEN HAIR
Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded HairXDark
and GlossyH

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound:
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to get
this mixture was to mako It at homo,
which Is mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "tWyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You will get a large
bottle Of this old-time recipe improved
by the addition Of other Ingredients.
at very little cost. Everybody uses
this preparation now, because no one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as It does It so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
soft Sbrush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-
~plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark. thick and glossy and
you look years younger. Wyeth's sage
and Sulphur Compound Is a delightful
toilet requisite. It Is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.

There is more Catarrh in this Sec

diseases put together, and for years
it was supposed to be incurable.
Doctors prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure

incurable. Catarrh is a local dis
ease, greatly Influenced by constitu"

F KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER BOTHER
Take a glass Of Salts to flush ont your
Kidneys and nsutralize irri'
tating acids.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritats and infame,
causing q burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck Of
the blaS1 Ter, obliging you to seek relief
two or .hree times during the night.
The BIZ :rer is in constant dread, thu
water passes sometimes with q scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in avoiding It.
Bladder weakness, most folks call It,
because they can't control ~urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this Is really n Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take q table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
the urine 80 It no longer is q source OF
i~rritatiou to the bladder and urinary Or
which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid Of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bed
effects whatever. =.
Here you have a pleasant, ~e1ervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble

told him never to disgrace the May
family by not being loyal to America
if he should become an American cit
izen. He told about the utter disre-
gard which the German has for the
property of others, and said that the
German defeat would come when
they were attacked on their own prop
erty across the Rhine. He said that
the French people knew Of their
treachery and cruel nature, and that
his regret was that he was too young
to fight in the Franco Prussian war
in 1870 and too old to fight in this
war.
Rev. J. S. Bell talked for a few
minutes and helped bring volunteers
to their feet, promising to increase
their subscriptions to the fourth Lib
erty loan. Rev. Geo. H. Hull, for
mer Congregational pastor in Colville,
also made an eloquent appeal from
the audience. The Liberty loan COM
mittee reported that about three thou
sand dollars was subscribed at this
meeting. Most of the audience had
already purchased bonds.

DO YOU KNOW THIS
ABOUT YOUR ARMY?

Facts concerning various parts of
the United States army and the num-
ber Of men in each are interesting at
present when the man power of the
nation is being called to these divi-
sions. Here are few facts about
the army:
An army corps is 10000 men.
An infantry division is 10000 men.
An infantry brigade is 5000 men.
A regiment of infantry is 1000
men.
A battalion is 1000 men.
A company is $50 men.
A platoon is go men.
A corporal's squad is II men.
A field battery has 1876 men.
A firing squad is 20 men.
A supply train has 1873 men.
A machine gun battalion has 296
men.
An engineers regiment has 1908
men.
An ambulance campany has 66 men.
A field hospital has 55 men.
A medicine attachment has 13 men.
A major general heads the field
army and also each army corps.

WHY THE PUBLIC
MUST DO ITS SHARE

If the "home papers" are to be sent
to all our soldiers and sailors and
others, men and women engaged in
war work abroad, this must be done
by the public generally or by inter-
ested parties in each community.
The ruling of the War Industries
Board in reference to daily newspa-
pers, published August 6, says:
COPIES may be sent free to for
mer employees who are in the war
service, and copies may be sent free
to Libraries of institutions recognized
by the government, such as the Red
Cross, Y. M. c. A., X. of C. etc. Copies
should not be sent to individual
soldiers unless formerly employed by
the newspaper"
The ruling of the War Industries
Board in reference to country week.
lies, published August %, provides:
"No publisher may give free copies
of his paper except for actual service
rendered and except to camp libraries
and hospitals and canteens of organ
izations recognized by the govern
ment, etc.
"N0 publisher shall send his pub
lication to anyone below the public
subscription price"
IT VIII thus be seen that all news
papers which heretofore have been
sending free copies to the soldiers
abroad and all newspapers that have
been contributing a portion of their
subscription price in order that the
public might be encouraged to send
the newspapers to soldiers, will have
to discontinue those practices.
In other words, if the soldiers are
to have their "home papers" of which
they stand so much in need and which
give them so much delight and COM
fort, the people will have to supply
the money for the full paid subscrp-
tions.
The newspaper has no option in the
matter, in view of the very business
like ruling of the War Industries
board, which is seeking to prevent
any consumption of print-paper with
out an adequate return therefor.
If the public will respond with
prompt donations for sending the
papers, every boy from Sevens county
will in time receive his "home
paper"

SAVE FRUIT STONES
AND ALL NUT SHELLS

The government has asked that all
of the pits from peaches, apricots,
plums, cherries and prunes, and all
Of the shells from hickory nuts, wal
nuts and butternuts be saved. These
are used to make charcoal or carbon
to neutralize the gas used by the
Huns. Two hundred peach pits or
seven pounds Of nuts produce enough
carbon for one gas respirator.
The school children of Stevens coun-
ty are gathering fruit pits and nut
shells. AS soon as yours are dry,
give them to some school child and he
will take them to the proper place
where the collection is being gathered.
Fruit pits and nut shells are SO
much needed by the war department
in the manufacture of gas masks that
an appeal for their collection has
been sent broadcast. Spokane has
been chosen as one of the $50 cities
where the material will be assembled,
packed and shipped. The Red Cross
society has charge of the collection.
Every person is urged to save pits
and shells, even in small quantities,
SO urgent is the need of the govern
ment. Donors are requested to keep
the varieties separate and to allow
them to dry before packing. Pos
tage must be prepaid as the Red

CIVIL WAR FIGHTERS
WERE MOSTLY BOYS

, Surprise is often expressed that
there are so many veterans of the
civil war still living. The fact is
that the war was fought, at least on
the northern side, by boys. Of the
2,159,79S enlisted there were only
46,626 who We're over 25 years old.
The official figures of the age at en-
Gstment in the civil war were read in
the house Of representatives by Jo-
seph G. Cannon, and they are as fol-
lows:
Those 10 years and under-25.
Those IL years and under-38.
Those IL years and under-225.
Those 13 years and under-30O
~ Those ID years and undor-1 ,523.
Those Is years and under-104, ,987.
Those 16 years and under-231 ,051.
Those II years and under-844,8 ,891.
Those 18 years and under-1, ,151,-
438.
Those 81 years and under-(these
two classes make the total number of
enlistments) s)-2,159, ,798.
Those % years and over-(these
two classes make the total number of
enlistments)-618,511.
Those 25 years and over-46,626.
1t will be noticed from this state
ment that the greatest number of en-
listments were of boys 18 and under.
In great number Of cases these boys
became officers before they were 20,
some of them even reaching the rank
of captain. The methods of war have
so changed that in future armies
there must be a far greater portion
of mature men. There must be a
large number who can handle the in
tricate, complex and death dealing
machinery and engines of destruction.
But as far as the civil war was con-
cerned the fighting was done by boys
and the phrase "boys of 81" is a lit
eral expression Of the truth and not
metaphorical. There are still 100000
of them alive.
