A Code Of Manners for Boots
BY Isabel w. Clayton

Francis w. Parker School
Just as there is code of NAM
ners of behavior there Is one for
books, DO you know and use IT.
DO not hurriedly open a now
book. Instead, lay it on table or
flat surface. grasp the pages in one
hand and with the other gently
push the covers down. Then press
a few leaves down, first in the
front OF the book and then in the
back. DO this until all have been
pressed down. This softens the
back and prevents it from break
ing.
Never use anything thicker than
a piece of paper for bookmarh.
Do not turn the book over on it's
face; do not turn a leaf down or
place a pencil or pencil mark in he
book to mark the place.
Keep your books clean. Do not
touch them when your hands are
soiled. DO not turn the pages with
moistened thumb. 1t leaves a
mark which is hard to remove.
When the cover has become
soiled, clean it with finely powder
ed pumice stone rubbed in with a
soft cloth. Soiled pages may BE-
cleaned with the pumice stone or
with art gum.
If a leaf is torn, cut a piece of
thin onion skin paper one half inch
wide and the length of the tear and
apply it by means of good library
paste to the tear. Put piece of
oiled paper under the page when
mending so that no paste will get
through to the next page.
If page comes out, make a
hinge of a good brand of paper one

hark by another road. A carrier
goes over each OF these routes once
Il day. He delivers to the farmers
the mail addressed to them and
carries back to the post office the
mail they wish TO send.
Letters aren't always that big,
are they" asked Hunting Eye.
NO. we carry small packages as
we'll as letters. The carrying OF
them is called Parcel Post. A Vet,
ter below a certain weight will be
carried anywhere in the United
States for the same price. But for
the carrying Of parcels the country
is divided into zones and it costs
more to send a parcel to a distant
zone than to one not so far away"
But the carrier had now come to
the end of his route and Hunting
Eye learned no more about the
mail service that day.

over HALF-MILLION
DOLLAR COTTON FIRE
Warehouse, Platform, Compress and
More Than 1900 Bales Cotton
Burned This Morning.
Sumter Item. March 20.

Sumter Item, March 20.
1he cotton shed and platform of
the Sumter Cotton Warehouse Com
pany, the Cotton Compress, the cot
ton platform Of the Atlantic C."St
Line, about four thousand r. c
cotton, stored under the she d,
the platforms, ten or lively
standing on the cotton plat side
tracks and several car loads
tillzer, were burned this morning be-
tween 3 and 8 o'clock. The loss is
conscrvativcly estimated at half mil
lion collars, and it may exceed that
large sum, as some of the estimates
run from six hundred thousand to
seen hundred and fifty thousand.
The fire was discovered at 8 O'Clock
~ men working Oh the railroad yard
adjacent to the cotton platform, and
according to their statement the
flames burst out on the northwest
corner of the platform and spread
almost instantly over the entire area
covered by the cotton. BY the time
the alarm was rung in and the fire
department was on the way to the
scene the compress, sheds and plat
forms with their great store of cot
ton bales were Il secthing mass Of
flames. The entire fire department,
including the steamer, was called into
service and Il largo number of streams
were turned on the fire, but it was
impossible to save any OF the cotton
or the box ears on the side tracks
the best that could be done was to
hold the flames in check and prevent
the spread Of the fire to other build
ings in the vicinity. A few bales Of
cotton on the Atlantic Coast Line
platform were saved in a damaged
con3ition, but it IS doubtful whether
the salvage on ;ncSc bales will
amount to mulch. In addition to the
cotton there were several carloads of
fertilizer on the platform and in the
car standing on the Siie-tracks. The
brevk warehouses OF the Sumter Cot :
ton Warehouse Company adjacent to
the platform were rot damagcd-if
the FIRE had gotten hold on these
buildings the loss would have been
several times as great, as the ware
horses are filed to capacity with
cotton.
The origin Of the fire has not been
determined, nor has satisfactory
theory been advanced
The cotton in storage with the
, surancc, but, it is stated that some
Of the cotton on the Platforms, owned
by cotton buyers and merchants
was not fully covered. Nor was all
Of the fertilizer insured. The ware
house had 2,400 bales under the shed
| and on the platform. Mcrchants, cot
ton buyers and others had approx
mately 1000 bales on the platform.

A TWICE TOLD TALE
One Of Interest TO Our Readers.

Good news bears repeating, and
when it is confirmed after long
lapse Of time, even if we hcsitated to
believe it at first hearing, we feel Sc
cure in accepting its truth now. The
following experience OF Manning
woman is confirmed after seven years.
Mrs. Joe Wells, So. Boundary St.,
gave the following statement January
80, 1911: 81 have been greatly re-
lieved and benefited by Doans Kid
ncy Pills. I had kidney annoyance
and I suffered with dull backachcs. I
was also bothered with headaches and
dizzy spells. Doan's Kidney Pills,
however, soon proved just what
needed for in short time | was free
from those troubles"
OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER or
on February Is, 1918, Mrs. Wells
said: 81 can always say that Doan's
Kidney Pills are without n doubt, the
best kidney remedy or the market.
Anything as good as Doan's Kidney
Pills is worthy Of high recommended

a dose Of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble Often in the

on, in fact, being so much more ex- pensive now than ever before"
 There is room for 40 children in the hospital, but during the influenza epi- demic last winter Mrs. Baldwin said We took care of 50 cases. The nurses even gave up their rooms and slept in tents in the yard. The contagious ward is far too small for the demands and for the lack of funds and because of everything being so eXorhitant in price we have not been able to en- large it as it should be-"
 We are so fortunate in having such an excellent superintendent at the Childrens hospital as Miss Mcdonald. who came to us early in October from Philadelphia--a graduate nurse (which of course we are required to have) and a woman of splendid character and with her heart and soul in her work
 Our expenses for the coming year will average fully $S000 at the hos pital" Mrs. Baldwin said, and it is imperative that we raise the funds. Birmingham has always been so lib- eral in responding to our call that we feel sure that there will be generous patronage accorded the ball on Friday evening, because of the conditions that we are facing, with the terrific ex- pense we have and the number of tiny little babies we have at the hospital who must be cared for, clothed and nourished."
