Every person in this section who
ST 1els /. OH rheLt.Aatism in any form
is invited to read the story of Mrs
A. E. Deane, the well-known resident
of l0lz Marion street, Columbia.
Mrs. Dean was a victim of this
dread malady up to short time ago.
SHE thought her case was hopeles until
she discovered an herb-and-root med
icine that proved to be just what she
needed. She tells about it in her
own way. This is what she says: ,
81 had rheumatic arthrities and
my knee was so stiff 1 could not bend
my right limb. 1 could walk very
little. I often had to stand on one
foot on account of the pain in my
knee. But. all this is over now be-
cause I have discovered recipe that
proved to be just what needed. Just
as I was about to give up hope OF
ever getting rid of the pain I found
a new root and herb medicine called
Dreco. 1 took just one bottle OF
Dreco and the pain is gone. Now
can bend my knee as well as ever
and walk any distance.
stomach trouble caused me much
pain also Coffee, milk and even
water soured in NJ stomach and
bloated me up. I was practically
living on a liquid diet. Dreco has
put an end to all these troubles.
'1I recommended Dreco to my niece
and it is helping her also.'
Dreco, mentioned in the above sign
ed statement Of Mrs. Deane, is the
new vegetable compound that is
such a profound sensation in
medicinal circles of this section. So
great has been it's record of achieve
men that all reliable druggists and
pharmacies are now carrying it as
a regular stock and are recommend
ing it to sufferers for rheumatism,
stomach disorders, liver and kidney
complaints and similar ills requiring
a safe and reliable medicine.
Dreeo is sold and particularly rec
commended in Newberry by Glider &
Weeks.

Attack Advancing columns.

The great advantage Of aviators for
bombing and machine-gunning adyan-
cling columns was shown in the March
and succeeding offensives, when time
and again scores Of aviators concen-
trated upon a certain point disorgan-
lied German advance, or held por-
tion of the line that had given way
until re-enforcements could be rushed
up by the Franco-British. On one dav
these aviators fired more than 100000
rounds into German columns. More
than 120 tons of bombs have been
dropped IN one day.
America is playing a part in the air
offensive. Every new contingent OF
American aviators which reaches
France or England helps out in the
general scheme of things which keeps
the allies masters of the air.
The British also have shown they
are superior to Germany in aerial de-
fenses. There have been twenty-one
raids on London in the past year, three
of these by Zeppelins. But since the
visit of eleven Zeppelins October last,
when five of them were brought down,
four in France and one in the Medi-
terranean, they have not attempted
to visit London, where the air de-
fenses are such that the Zeppelins do
not dare to come lower than 10000
feet, which is too high for them to
bomb effectively.
Gotha raids also are becoming quite
expensive for Germany, the last raid,
May 20, resulting in seven machines
being destroyed. twenty-five avia-
tors trained for night flying are far
more valuable to Germany than two

The IL, defensive barrage and pre-

Sugar Supply Assured.

Manufacturers of essential food
products have been advised by the
Food Administration that they will
be able to obtain their full necessary
requirements of sugar for, manu-
featuring purposes during the coming
year.
This applies particularly to pack
ers of fruit, condensed milk, such
vegetables for the preservation OF
which sugar may be necessary, as
we'll as to the housewives, for usage
in preserving purposes. AS soon as
the car shortage is relieved, accord
ing to the Food Administration state
ment, supplies of sugar will be avail
able for these purposes. Shipments
from Cuba are steadily increasing.
All Gamers have been advised to
hold for war purposes such quanti-
ties of canned corn, peas, tomatoes.
string beans, and salmon as they may
have on hand. Such quantities as
are not wanted will be released with
III few days after receipt of reports
showing stocks on haud, which must

RUSSIA BOWS TO GERMANY.
Congress of Soviets Agrees to Terms
of Peace Treaty.

March 17.-Russia has bowed 10
the central empires. The hard terms
of the peace treaty submitted by the
Germans at Brest-Litovsk have been
agreed to by the all Russian con
gress of soviets, in session at MOS
COW, in spite of the opposition OF an
important element of the Russian peo-
pie.
The result of the vote was forecast
in the announcement from Moscow
on Friday that the Bolshevik dele
gates to the Moscow congress had at
q party caucus voted in favor of rati-
fcation. There was a faction, how
ever, that registered it's disapproyal
of the treaty, but the presence OF
Nikolai Lenine, the Bolshevik pre-
mier, probably united his followers
and enabled them to roll up large
majority in favor of accepting the
provisions of the German peace
treaty.
The message sent by President Will
son to the congress, in which he ex-
pressed his sympathy with the Rus
sian people, was read at the opening
session on Thursday night. 1t was
received with marked enthusiasm and
a reply embodying resolution OF ap-
probation was sent to the American
people

Does Germany really do such things
as poison wells and spread disease
germs. wherever possible among he1
enemies?
Upon this point we present tie
testimony of Prof. G. F. Nlcolal,
formerly physician to the Imperial
family of Germany aac professor of
physiology at the University OF Berlin
In a recently published book from his
pen. entitled, ''The Biology Of Var y
occur these paragraphs:
"The military parsonage who is
numbered among the most proml-
nent, but whose name l shall not
mention, inquired of me whether IL
might not be possible to fix shells
with cholera germs or plague bacllil
so that the shells could be sent back
of the front firing line.
Gas I replied to him that 1 did
not think it would do to use proceed
ures so lacking in humanity, he ans
wered me in a tone tinged with con-
: tempt, Humanity is not to be con-
sidered in this war and Germany has
a right to do everything she pleas
es'."
Professor Nicolai added that in
Germany many millions of people are
reasoning in the same way as this
man. who in no other ways has mani
tested marked superiority of charac-
ter. Others, he said, have even more
cruel ideas, and a medical officer on
the general staff asked him whether
it would not be possible to- inoculate
the Russians with bacteria, saying,
tsWith such cattle everything is le-
gitimate.''
Professor Nicolai is known as a
humane as well as skillful physl-
clan by a number of medical men in
this country who studied with him in
Germany, one of whom called our at
tion to these facts. 1t is perhaps un-
necessary to add that Professor Nlco-
lai is now serving term in Ger
man military prison. 1t is all right
to do these things but it is highly
improper to talk about them.-Bal-

been lost.
40. That cities, towns, and vii
lages had been fined and their in
habitants maltreated because of the
success gained by the Belgian over
the German soldiers.
I'll. That public monuments and
works of art had been wantonly de-
stroyed by the invaders.
"l2. And that generally the Reg
ulations of the Hague Conference and
the customs of civilized warfare had
been ignored by the Germans, and
that amongst other breaches of such
regulations and customs, the Germans
had adopted a new and inhuman prac-
tice of driving Belgian men, women,
and children in front of them as
screen between them and the allied
soldiers
The German authorities undertook
to defend themselves against the ter
rible Indictment in the report pub
lished by the Belgian government
and appointed a German commission,
which collected a huge mass of ma
terials designed to show that their
acts\ of cruelty were merely acts
of reprisals necessitated by the
deeds of the Belgians. This
mass of testimony was published
in a. German White Book with the
title Die olkerrechtswidrige Fuhrung
des Belgischen Volkskriegs.
The German commission declared
in it's findings that the German SOL
diers had acted with humanity, re-
straint. and Christian forbearance.
But the sworn statements of German
soldiers, which the commission pub
lished, show the reverse to be true.
German White Book Reveals Atroci-
ties.
It has been well said that the pub
lication of this German White Book
was IAN amazing official blunder.'
The neutral world, whose good opin-
ion Germany sought, was not con-
vinced by it that the Belgians had
committed the atrocities with which
the Germans charged them. On the
other hand, this White Book, pub
lished by the German Government,
will be accepted by everyone as con-
elusive evidence of the massacres and
other brutal deeds which were car
ried out as "reprisals" by the orders
of the German military authorities
in Belgium. The names of the Ger
man officers who gave the terrible
orders are published officially and
Frequently the very men themselves
come forward and depose coldly and
callously to acts which have degrad-
ed the German army and left stain
upon it's banners that (future) gene
rations of chivalry will not efface."
Indeed, in the light of the admis-
sions of the German White Book, it
is not too much to say that the time
has already come which was spoken
of by President Wilson in his dis
patch to President Poincare, .Septem-
Der 19, 1914, when he said (speak-
ing for "a nation which abhors in
human practices in the conduct of a
warO:
''The time will come when this
great conflict is over and when the
truth can be impartially determined.
When that time arrives those respon-
sible for violations of the rules of
civilized warfare, if such violations
have occurred, and for false charges
against their adversarfes, must of
course bear the burden of the judg-
ment of the world
