vey of the entire state by the school
districts. 1t is important that sani-
tary conditions as they exist in the
various sections of the state should
be known and whatever necessary
proper steps taken to remedy condi-
tons. I have heard it stated that
the health laws of South Carolina are
equal to the best in the union. This
is gratifying, but it is certainly true
that a great deal is yet to bedone
before our people are properly pro-
tected against the ravages of disease
and unnecessary mortality. Your
state health officer will tell you that
we have a great many deaths among
infants and young mothers, because
of lack of a few simple and neces-
sary precautions. Information which
has come to us incident to the mobili-
cation of our troops in the recent
world war ras disclosed a PHYSICAL con-
dition' among the adult population,
both men and women, which cannot
be ignored and should not be neglect
ed. Our people, if we are to ade-
quately safeguard the future, must be
physically and morally clean as we'll

tion is to endure, it must have as its
sure foundation, people mentally,
morally and physically fit to be the
fathers and mothers of future gener-
ations.

U. S. Siberian Commander Demands
Apology From Russian Guard,
Incident Being Considered as
Most Serious.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. General VIII
liam 5. Graves, commander of Ameri-

an apology from General Rozanoff, In
command of Russian troops in Priamiir
province, for the arrest of Captain l..
p. Johns of the Twenty seventh regi-
ment and Corporal Benjamin Sporting
of the Thirty-first and the flogging of
the latter by COSsacks commanded by
General Kalmikoff. An investigation
of the conduct of Japanese officer
at Imam, the place where the arrests
took place, has also been begun by the
Japanese high command. The incl
dent, which occurred September 3, is
considered one of the most serious
since the allies landed in Siberia.
The two Americans, in uniform and
| on official business. went to Imam,
town 10 miles north of this city. on
| the section of the railroad guarded by
Chinese troops, passports being unnec-
essary by agreement between the allies.

arrested by orders OF General kaIim-
koff, the Americans, claiming they
were not provided with identification
papers. Captain Johns managed to es-
cape, and, catching moving train,
went to Spasske, where he reported to
| the American officer in command.
During his absence, Sperling was

General Kalmikoff, who is consid-
cred by Americans here as siberian

slant source of trouble, it is charged,
his raids being marked by cruelties
and atrocities. He was recently APP

Panama Was outcast City.

Panama is the oldest city on this
continent inhabited by white men, and
is the great curiosity shop of America,
George A. Miller writes, in his book,
"Prowling About Panama" Some of
the cities of the canal zone are among
the cleanest and healthiest on earth,
but laziness, shiftlessness and inef-
ficiency are in full sway in Panama.
Economic waste meets the prowler at
every step.
Probably Panamanians had less OPP
pOrtunities than citizens of some of
the other cities to learn advancement
in these lines, due to the fact that
they were on the defense against the
encrOachment of conquerOrs for past
centuries, its author says Not until
the present republic was set up. under
the protection of the United States,
was the city any better than an outcast
of the world.

Movies In the War,

On the fast cruisers that convey the
troop ships across the sea, the Y. M.
c. A. movies are In many cases the
only recreation the sailors have. Owing
to the need of caution about showing
lights, and owing to the fact that coal
fills most of the space In the ship,
these shows have to be given below
decks in highly restricted quarters
Now and then 1t happens that the
sailor who secures even standing room
has to fight for the privilege.
In government circles the story Is
told OF n bad labor situation which the
movies remedied. At a certain point

IT. HERE is a tremendous loss

smuts of wheat. barley and oats are
not communicable from one grain to
the other, the most prevalent smut in
each Of the three grains may be con-

The principle is the same, although
the application of the formaldehyde is
somewhat different for wheat, for bar
ley and for oats.
For Wheat.
Mix one pound of full strength for
maldehyde solution in forty gallons of
water. Provide two tubs or other
containers, placing one above the
other, as shown in the Illustration.
Pour several gallons of the solution
into the upper tub. After having
carefully recleaned the seed, stb-
merge half a bushel or more In the
upper tub. All trash, shrunken and
immature kernels, many smut balls
and weed seeds, will float and may be
skinned off. This process serves a
double purpose. Stir until all grain is
soaked and NJ more rises to the sur
face.
Take a short piece of hose, sub
merge in the liquid in the top tub and
quickly lower one end of IL into the

which on twenty-five million acres
