Garter Glass Confirmed
Senate Approves Appointment
as Secretary of Treasury.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The nonina-
ton of Representative Carter Glass of
Virginia, to be secretary of the treas
ury to succeed William c. McAdoo
was confirmed tonight by the senate
without objection.
Mr.. Glass Immediately will resign
from congress, in which he has served
16 years, and will take up his new
duties on December 16 Mr.. Nc
Adoo will continue as director general
Of railroads until his successor for
that position is appointed
Representative Glass said today he
had every reason to believe that the
future policies of the treasury would
not be different from those being pur-
sued except as varying circumstances
may suggest. ..-..#...
There is no further statement that
could make at this time which
would either interest or enlighten the
public" said Mr.. Glass. "I would
readily wish that may succeed even
approximately az well in administer
ing the affairs of the treasury as has
the distinguished man whose retire
ment so distresses the country. It is
my judgment that his retirement is q
national misfortune"

Whnt is Electricity.

Ever since this force was first iso-
lated, there has been constant effort
to define just what electricity actual
" is. Good Housekeeping for De-
cember contains very interesting
article on the subject. To quote:
The word itself is taken from the
Latin for amber (electrum). as amber
under certain conditions will exhibit
electrical effects Many theories con-
corning the nature OF electricity have
been advanced but. the latest, the cleo
tron hypothesis. furnishes the most
plausible explanation Of electrical
phenomena. This theory supposes
all matter. gaseous or solid. In the
universe to be composed Of electrons
consisting of an inconceivable subdI-
vision of molecules and atoms. and
that a certain arrangement and move
ment of these electrons constitute
that subtle something which we cal!
electricity. For practical purposes 1t
matters little what it really is. Ey
experiment and study the laws that
govern it's actions have been deter
mined. 1t will develop light. heat,
and power as we will it: the tiny fan
and the ponderous train alike move
in response to its influence.

ytion shortly after the signing Of the
armistice stated that reports made to
them indicated that the expectation OF
american cotton for the current sea-
son under peace conditions would be
2, 100000 bales in excess of the ex-
ports of the past season. This would
bring the exports for the current sea-
son to a total Of about $500, e0O
bales, which does not seem unreason-
able to expect when it is considered
that this figure is still much under
normal and is even 100000 bales
less than was exported in the first
year of the war.
Another factor not popularity
known or appreciated is the shortage
in the Indian crop, the effect Of which
has been to force Japan to enor-
mously increase her normal purchases
of American cotton, SO that this coun-
try is expected to take 100000 bales
of American cotton during the cur
rent season as against a normal TAX
ing of 100000 bales

RESTRICTIONS ON COTTON SOON
Senator Smith Talks With Officials as
to Charleston.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The outlook
for still further removal of restrictions
from the cotton rade is improving.
Senator E. D. Smith, following his
talk with the president, Tuesday
night, has had conferences On the
subject with all the principal Of
icials who have to do with cotton
here and believes that all restrictions
will soon be off except those on
short selling.
Tomorrow the senator will see the
secretary Of war in connection with
the suggestion that through bills OF
lading for expectation of cotton and
oher commodities to Europe through
Charleston and other Southern ports
may be reestablished if the govern
ment will fix definite schedules for
the arrival Of ships bringing our SOL
diers home through these ports, the
same ships to carry cotton. etc., as
cargoes to Europe on the wa.r back.
The senator has already discussed the
matter with Gen. Goethals who will
agree if the seer tary Of war does.

CANADIAN DECENTRALIZATION.
Division Perfecting Plans to Bring
Troops From Overseas.

Winnipeg, Canada, Dec. 6.-Plans
for the demobilization Of Canada's
286,304 overseas troops under a sys-
tenn intended to meet economic and
industrial conditions have been COM
pleted and will be put into operation
when withdrawal Of the forces is con-
sented to by the high command
After considering available shipping
facilities and rolling stock in Canada,
the Imperial Ministry Of Shipping and
the Canadian War Board have con-
cluded that the rate of return can ap-
proximate 10000 men a month.
Close study of the military and eco
1omic phases of demobilization result
ed in a decision to first return men
whose trade classification showed
there was immediate use for them in
industry. Preference is to be given
married men, the order of their return
to be determined by the length OF
time in overseas service. Then single
rnen will be returned along the same
general lines
Classification Of the troops into oc-
cupational groups by the Militia De-
partment was deemed advisable to
meet the requirements of the labor
market in the various districts To
return the men regardless Of their
occupation in civil life and demands
of the labor market in their respec-
tive districts would work a hardship
upon them as well as upon industry,
officials decided.
Latest figures list 2S6,3O4 as the
number Of Canadian troops overseas.
An estimate of how these men will be
distributed among the various prov
,inces, based on the ratio of enlist
ment in each province, follows:
Ontario, 121,500; Quebec, $4,000;
New Brunswick, 1880; Nova Scotia
and Prince Edward Island, 15,5O0;
Manitoba, $4,000; Saskatchewan. 49,
500; Alberta, 21,500; British Colum-
bia, 25,5oo.
The problem of bringing back from
England the wives and families OF Ca
madam soldiers, estimated at 35, ,0O0
persons, has been placed with the De-
loartment of immigration. They will
be returned to Canada as quickly as
possible, as the government desires to
have the soldiers homes re-establish-
ed before their arrival.

WILL IMPROVE WILSON.
A Canadian View of the Presidents
Mission to Europe.

The Mail and Empire Of Toronto
says of President Wilson's mission to
Europe:
It will be a, good thing for Presl
dent Wilson to attend the peace con-
ference in France and the benefit
ought to react upon his party and
upon the United States. He will come
into close touch with men like Poin-
care, Clemenceau, Lloyd George, Bal,
four, and others, and he will be
dealing with them as equals. Presi-
dent Wilson seldom meets men on
that footing. The tradition which
has so long kept the chief magistrate
in, the United States has kept him
from personal contact with the chiefs
of State in other countries. This tends
to fix his mind !. too much on the
things that are desirable. and too nt-
tie on the things that are practicable.
President Wilson's advisers have been
his personal appointees, most OF
them apparently attached to him by
strong personal ties, and some by a
sense Of admiration that rendered
them useles AS candid critics. The
.on& man by whom it is generally be-
lieved the president is Influenced Is
Colonel House, and nobody but the
president has any data on which to
form an opinion Of the practical value
of Colonel Houses advice.
In going to Europe and talking
with the statesmen and military lead
ers who have borne the burden Of
four years of war, who have been
graphing with the most momentous
problems that ever arose, and in see
ing some Of the effects Of the war,
President Wilson will come to close
quarters with realities. He Is not
more likely to instruct and inform
those men than they are to instruct
and inform him. They are his peers.
Their experience Of the matters in
hand is greater than his. Their good
will is as little likely to be questioned.
Sensible Of the great debt they owe
to the United States, there will be ev-
cry disposition on the part Of the rep
resentatives Of the allies to defer TO
the president, and on his part an ap-
probation of what the Unied States
owes to the allies will forbid any
suggestion of dictation. The confer
ence cannot fail to be highly :nstruc-
tive to all who take part in it and to
no one more than to the president OF
the United States.

FRENCH WHEAT HARVEST.
More Than Hundred Thousand Acres
Recovered From Germans.

New York, Dec 6.-More than 137,-
500 acres of wheat were recovered
from German occupied territory N
France by the British and French
armies in the great offensive that
ended the war, says the New York
Federal Food Board. This is believ-
ed by the food officials to have ma
terialy contributed to the food crisis
which helped to bring Germany to
her knees. This wheat was harvest
ed chiefly by the French. The work
of nearly 1900 men was required
in the harvesting. The binding ma
chimes and threshing machines were
supplied by the French Office of Ag-
ricuItural Reconstruction and when
the harvesting was completed the
machines were sold at reduced prices
to farmers or groups Of farmers who
had been victims Of the war.

CALOMEL ROBBED
OF NAUSEA
AND DANGER
Medicinal Virtues Retained and
Improved = Unpleasant and
Dangerous Qualities Removed
New Variety Called 'Calo-
tabs"


The latest triumph Of medical sci-
ence is a purified calomel known as
"Calotabs." The old-style calonnel,
as all doctors know, was the best and
most generally useful of all rnedi-
cines. The new variety, known as
Caltoabs, is purified and refined from
all Objectionable qualities, and is most
delightful in effect.
One Caltab on the tongue at bed
time, swallow of water-that's all.
No taste, no gripping, no nausea, no
danger. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, with a clean liver. a
purified system and a hearty, appetite
for breakfast. Eat what you please.
There is no restriction of habit or
diet Calotabs are sold only in orig
al, sealed packages; price, thirty-fve
cents. Your druggist recommends
Calotabs, and will refund your Mon
ey if you are not delighted with them.

Stop Them Now!

Clemson College, Dec. 6.-To walt
until the. cotton becomes infested With
the red spider next summer and then
attempt to fight it is like locking the
crib after the corn has been stolen.
At this time OF the year the food
plants Of the red spider are becom-
ing scarcer every day. and there are
only very few plants on which this
pest can spend the winter. Among the
most important are common violet,
poke weed and blackberry bushes on
the terraces, ard edges Of the fields
These plants form the red spiders
winter hotels and where there is no
efforts made at clean farming, one
must not expect to escape the raw
ages Of this pest and other pests
next season. This is the best time
of the year to fight most OF our
worst field crop insect pests.
All poke weed, blackberry. Jeru-
salem oak, jimson weed, and violets
that are to be found along the ter
races, ditch banks, fence corners
and other places in the vicinity OF
the cotton fields should be destroyed
and burned. The red spider spends
the winter on the roots of some OF
these plants. Dig them up.
Not only is the red spider depriv-
ed of it's most fortified position but
the boil weevil, the cinch bug, the
hessian fly and other farm pests can
be effectively controlled or prevent
ed. But allowing rubbish to remain
on the farm is the best way to help
these pests to accomplish their de-
structive work next season.
