COUNTY WARNED
OF SC0URACE OF
TYPHOID FEVER

That at least 1866 of the present
inhabitants of Sumter county will
probably have typhoid fever some time
in their lives, unless precautions are
taken to prevent, and that ravages of
the disase will take toll of more
than million dollars of the county's
material wealth, to say nothing or
more than 1000 lives, is the statement
of Dr. B. F. Bond, commissioner of
public health, who is now visiting va
rious sections of the county for the
purpose of giving anti-typhoid inocula-
tons These inoculations are gixen
free by him, and the public is asked
to take the immuning treatment. Fol
lowing is statement on the subject
just issued by DR.. Bond, giving dates
and places in Sumter county where
he may be found to give the injections:
There are approximately $4,000
people in Sumter county at present.
Among these about 1865 will most
likely become sick of typhoid fever
during life, unless come preventative
measures are used, and about 10 per
cent. of those sick or about 1865, will
die of the disease.
"As each case of typhoid fever
costs more than $780, and funerals are
expensive, costing $50. or more, the
-, CT
pay of their earnings more than ST.
1875 beside the value of human
lives exacted by this preventable
malady.
with these facts in hand no one
can be sure of escaping the ravages
of typhoid fever unless the advanta-
ges of one or more of the preventative
measures are used which have proved
themselves to be efficacious, vix-voc-
cination, fly control, sanitary closets.
why should one be vaccinated
against typhoid fever? All persons
between II and As years of age are
subject to the disease. Artificial i'm
munization seems to protect more than
SO per cent. Very little inconven-
fence is experienced on account of
vaccination. The county and state
health authorities at considerable eX-
pense are furnishing this prophyIactic
measure free. Immunity produced by
vaccination is from IL months to three
years duration, and after three or
four inoculations immunity may be
permanent.

Starving in the
Midst Of Plenty
Acid-Stomach Steals Strength and
Good Feelings From Millions

Ono of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
Gtarves its victims in the midst of
plenty. And the strange thing
about it is that the people with acid
5tomachs seldom know what their
.rouble really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
cat, they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
fact that an acid-stomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy, normal digestion, the excess
ccid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass of sour,
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intestines, it be-
comes the breeding place for all kinds
of germs and toxic poisons, which in
turn are absorbed into the blood and
in this way distributed throughout
13he entire body. And that is exactly
why it is that so many thousands of
people eat and eat and keep on eating
End yet are literally starving in the
midst of plenty. Their acid-stomachs
make it absolutely impossible for
them to get the full measure of nour-
ishment out of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in a
weakened, emaciated body.
You may say: ''My stomach doesn't
hurt me-" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains--head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an

CENTENARY DAY AND EASTER
AT PLEASANT GROVE CHURCH

Sunday, April 20, promises to be a
good day at Pleasant Grove Methodist
church. At the morning service a
splendid Easter program will be rem
dered, concluded with short spicy
Centenary speech. The ladies have
arranged to serve dinner at the
church. We will then have some
more Centenary speeches in the after
noon. We have the promise of some
good speakers. All have a cordial
invitation to be with us.

acid-stomach is the real cause of the
trouble.
Naturally, the sensible thing to do
IS to strike right at the very cause of
this trouble and clean the excess acid
out of the stomach. There is quick,
easy way to do this. A wonderful
new remedy quickly removes the
excess acid without the slightest dis
comfort. 1t is EATONIC. Made in
the form of tablets-they are good
to eat-just like bit of candy. They
literally absorb the injurious excess
acid and carry it away through the
intestines. They also drive the bloat
out of the body-in fact you can fairly
feelit work. Make testof EATONIC
in your own case today. Get big
box of EATONIC from your druggist.
See for yourself how surely it brings
quick relief in those painful attacks
ofindigestion, bitter heartburn, belch-
ing, disgusting food repeating, that
awful bloated, lumpy feeling after
eating and other stomach miseries.
Danish all your stomach troubles so
completely that you forget you have
a stomach. Then you can eat what
you like and digest your food in COM
fort without fear of distressing
after effects.
If EATONIC does not relieve you, it
will not cost you one penny. You can
return it to your druggist and get
your money back. So if you have the
slightest question about your health
if you feel you are rot getting all
the strength out of your food-if you
are not feeling tip-top, ready for your
work, full of vim and vigor-do give
EATONIC a fair trial this very day
and see how much better you will feel.

Ian, newcomers, won the first match
defeating Charles and Valentine Fa-
ger, scores, 4-6, Ga, and Ga. The

in work at frequent intervals. Charles
Eager was a little stronger than his
brother. but this pair were outplayed.

second set was hotly contested and
the third was easy for the victors.
The committee after looking over
the entries decided to draw for the
events for which names were listed

ming and are given below. Play will

ordinate the distribution of European
coal in an effort to avert what threat
ems to be a disaster.
The meeting was held as result
of warning given by Mr.. Hoover in
an address at the recent conference
in London of the Supreme Economic
Council. He said that Europe's coal
production was 35 per cent. below nor
NAL and that the United States could
not offer relief because of the shortage
of shipping. During his address, Mr..
Hoover said
"The fate of European civilization
now rests in the hands of the coal
miners and coal mine owners of
Europe to an equal, If not to a greater
degree than in the hands of the pro-
viders of foods and supplies during
the next year"
At to-day's meeting Mr.. Hoover de-
clined to accept the permanent direction
of the proposed European coal commits
sion, stating that he believed the prob
lem to be strictly European and that
the situation cannot be relieved ma
terially by the slight help which the
United States can give.

Japanese Attitude
on Shantung Same
as Envoy Viewed It

Washington, Aug. 5.-Japan's as
surances to the United States on Shan
tung have been printed in Toxic, but
they have not been delivered to the
Washington Administration.
These assurances. for which Presi-
dent Wilson has been waiting more than
a week and which he has counted on
to remove much of the antagonism in
the United States Senate to the Shan
tung provision of the peace treaty,
are understood to have been printed
in the "Orient" Saturday.
Advices received here state that no
date is fixed by Japan for the return
of the Shantung peninsula to China,
and 1t is generally believed from the
summary now available that the reply
Is only partially satisfactory.

nese government follows closely the

Accused of Inconsistent Atti-

Fiume

Washington, d. c., Aug. 5.-Presi-
dent Wilson'S attitude on the Terri
torial Clause of the various Powers
as involved in the Peace Treaty, and
the covenant of the League of Ma
tions, were made the targets of Sem
atorial attacks in the Senate yester-
day.
Senator Sherman. Republican. Illi-
nois, in an address on the Peace Trea-
ty, charged President Wilson with in
consistency in opposing ltaly's claims
to Fiume, while supporting Japan $
claims to Shantung.
"A League of Nations born of repu-
diation of ItaIy's claims and the spoil
alton of China is cursed from birth
with an irredeemable outrage on the
right of two ancient and friendly
Powers" said Mr.. Sherman.
"Fiume is Italian in blood, language
and traditions. Italy is JUSTIFIED in
asking to resume the natural rela-
tions existing between Fiume and the
mother country.
"Shantung is given Japan pursuant
to secret treaty. 1t was the price Of
Japans permission to China to declare
war with the Allies. Japan's sacri-
ices are unworthy of mention with
those of Italy. Her military forces
fought the German in Shantung. to
seize the proceeds of Germany's rob-
berry of China.

based on the condemnation of secret
treaties can justify the plunder CT
