HOME DEMONSTRATION
CLUB NOTES

The Home Demonstration Work in
Clarendon County has been steadily
growing for the past few years, and it
is our ambition for each succeeding
year to mark an epoch of advance
nlcnt in cur work.
The work Is growing not only in
scope but also in eff icicncy. We have
active clubs in almost every commun-
Ity. The work is being directed by a
county agent and war emergency
agent. We have just returned from
Winthrop College where we took a
very thorough course in problems per-
tanning to the home.
Instructions end demonstrations
were given us by the best specialist
from the Department at Washington
and state instructors. Winthrop Col
iege and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture are making it
possible for the instructions and re-
suits of tha best research laboratories
to be brought to the very door of
Our busy home-makcrS.
They are also helping the schools
to link their problems more closely to
the problems Of life.
We are preparing to hold a coun-
ty short course in June. hope to have
larger attendance this year than
ever before.
We have a systematic course of
study for our Women Home Demon
stratOrs.
The first years course consists of
lessons on home convenienccs, food,
serving of meals, cooking of meats,
milk and milk products, home SANTA
ton, personal hygiene and home nurs-
lag, bread making, beautifying the
home grounds, laundry, textiles and
honlc decoration.
Second year course consists Of a
definite study Of bcautifying the home
both interior and exterior and cloth
ing.
Third year course consist Of les
sons in gardening, poultry and a Sc
rics of lessons on Nutrition
Each month q lesson is printed by
Winthrop College end is studied by
women in the clubs.
During the entire history of Dem
onStration work never before has it
been moro appreciated. Our country
being engaged in q terrible war we
all realize that the food supply is Of

fore. We realize that the Home Dm-
onstration agents work is Of great i'm
portancc in serving our country, if we
can help our people make, preserve
and economizc in order to supply food
for our homes.

TO the Editor of The Manning Times
Owing to your special fondncss for
Hon. John l.. McLaurin, | have no
hcsitancy in saying that | had occa-
sion to accompany Senator McLaurin
to Columbia on last Thursday and
while | was in the Senator's company
l was particularly struck with the
numerous congratulations which were
simply showcred upon him by mem
bcrs of the Legislature and by citizens
in the private walks of life for COM
ing out in manly way in support of
President Wilson and his administra-
ton. May be permitted to say that
sincerely hope that the day is not

CONVINCED OF TANLAC
BY AID GIVEN, Wife
Husband Says She Added Fifteen
Pounds on Four Bottles
DOUBLE ENDORSEMENT
Knew Tanlac Would Help Him Great
ly When He Began 1t, And
He Tells Details

Cases in which two or more people
in the same family have been so great
ly benefited by Tanlac that they have
offered double endorsement of this
famous Master Medicine are common.
When you sec person relieved cf suf-
fering and made strong again, it is
the most natural thing in the world
for you to want the same ben fits.
i This is how Charles e. Whitmore, of
103 Bradford St., Albany, N. Y, hap
pened to take Tanlac.
"My wife, who had been all run
down and nervous and getting weaker
right along, began to take Tanlac."
Mr.. Whitman explained. "Well, of
course, wanted the results, and it
was wonderful to see the way it built
her up. On four bottles she gained
fifteen pounds. 1 had been doubtful
about Tanlac, but that settled me.
When | started Tanlac 1 could hardly
cat one good meal in whole week.
From suffering with bad stomach
had become nervous and restless at
night and all run down. Instead of di-
gesting. my food would just lie like
lead on my stomach and sour and fer
ment and form gas. Because l had
sour stomach-acid stomach-so long,
7 mouth had gotten sore. could
not sleep restfulIy, but would wake up
every hour or two and would roll and
toss. l was tired in the morning, and
by mid-afternoon I was so tired out
it seemed l couldn't get through the
day. l had lost all ambition, and did
not care. Seeing what Tanlac had
done for my wife encouraged me to
it began to brace me up right away.
1t did as much for me as it did for
her. slept right through the night,
woke up rested, with good appe.
tite, and was able to enjoy my meals.
My food digcsted, and the gas, bloat-
ing and sour stomach disappeared. l
felt like a new man, and the old
tired, worn-out feeling went with the
rest of my troubles"
When Mr.. Whitmore's stomach be-
came weak, his system probably be-
gan to clog with waste matter. What
he needed was good system purifier,
stomach tonic and reconstructive, and
Tanlac did the work for him and he
saw it do for his wife, and as it has
done for countless thousands.

NO SEARCHING OF
TRAVELLERS GRIP

Columbia, Fb. 11.-The story of
the agreement by the free conference
committee of the general ASSEMBLY,
on the item for claw enforcement" )"
which really means sum for the
maintenance by Gocvrnor Manning of
liquor constabulary is contained in
letter written by the governor to
his chief constable here today, calling
a halt in the matter of the promis-
cuous searching Of grips, which has
been going on during the past sew
eral months, to the Inconvenience and
disgust Of the public generally. Know
ing that he was in desperate hole,
the governor "came across" and
wrote his letter of today and furnish
cI a copy to the free conference :or,-
mittee. 1t was only then that the
committee agreed to recommend the
sum Of SAL 900 for claw enforcement"
Up until the time when the governor
mercy, he was absolutely beaten, and
mercy was shown him only upon the
conditions demanded, to which his
letter agrees.
Two members Of the Charleston
delegation figured prominently in the
matter. They were Messrs. Scabrook
and Young.
There was a determined fight in the
general assembly over the appropria-
tiOn of money for the enforcement of
tn prohibition law. The house refused
to give anything whatsoever, and the
senate wanted to give $51 900. The
great objection by the house to this
fund was on the ground, as contcnded
by some members of the house free
conference committee, that agents of
the governor have been searching per-
aonal baggage without warrant and
suspecting responsible persons to un-
reasonable search Mr.. Scabroo6, Of
fdisto, member of the free con-
ference con,!.1ittee and Mr.. Young, of
the Charleston delegation, pointed out
to the governor where the trouble lay,
and after the governor had written
the following letter, the sum Of $41,-
600 was allowed by the committee:
columbia, February II, 1918,
"Mr. r. j. Smyrl, chief constable,
Columbia, S. C.-Dear Sir: It having
been intimated to me that the state
constables have probably misunder-
stood former instructions in enforcing
the prohibition law, desire now to
instruct you and the state in enforcing
that they shall not search, or under
take to search, the baggage of any
traveller. unless that traveller has been
heretofore indicted for selling intoxi-
eating liquor in contravention Of law
or unless such person has q warrant
describing the person or baggage to
be searched, or unless the constable
has certain knowledge that there is
liquor in said baggage.--Very truly
yours,
ORCHARD I MANNING,
Governor"
