The Sanitation Law.

The last Legislature enacted a
law providing that "every resi-
dence located within three hun
dred yards of another residence
must have an improved sanitary
privy of a type approved by the
State Board of Health" Means
to enforce this law are provided,
and sanitary inspectors will be
placed on duty throughout the
State on October first, acting
under the direction and by the
authority of the State Board of
Health. The law is in the inter
est of the public health and all
persons who have concern for
their own health or the health of
their neighbors should not only
be willing but anxious to comply
with the regulations. Even those
not affected by the law should
comply with it for their own good.
There is nothing new regard
ing the method of disposing of
human waste matter. 1t is found.
ed on regulations which Moses,
great leader and law-giver, laid
down for the Israelites many
thousands of years ago. The
man who disregards regulations
designed to prevent the spread
of disease is enemy to himself
his family and his, community
In other words, all good citizens
will promptly comply with the
regulations provided for the pub
lie good.

Muchly Married.

Rev. A. L. Ormond is an ear
nest man, and he believes in do
ing every job we'll. So we'll, that
on Sunday he married the same
couple twice.
A Mr.. Truxley and Miss Ed
dings came to the parsonage
Sunday afternoon, desiring to be
wed. The license was duly pre-
sented. Mr.. Ormond glanced at
it and proceeded without more
ado to make the couple man and
wife. Afterfnishing the service,
he began filling out the certifi-
cate, but to his surprise found
that the license was granted in
Arson county, and not Rich
mond. But he was quick to
grasp the situation. Getting in
cars, with Will McRae as chap
eron and witness, the party drove
to the river, crossed the ferry,
landed on Anson's shores and
once again was the ceremony
gone through with. And doubt.
less this couple now think they
we're, as well as are, very muchly
married.

QUIT MEAT WHEN
KIDNEYS BOTHER
Take a glass of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
is troubling you,

No man or woman who eats meat regu-
larly can make q mistake by flushing the
kidneys occasionally, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
axcites the kidneys, they become over
worked from the strain, get zlugqish and
fail to filter the waste and poisons from
the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessnass and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
Kidneys
The moment you feel dull ache in The
kidneys or your back hurts or ii ae
urine is cloudy, offensive, full OF sedi-
ment, irregular of passage or attended b.
a sensation of scalding, stop eating meat
and get about four ounces OF JAG
Salts from any pharmacy: take
tablespoonful in glass Of. water before
breakfast and in a few days your kidneys
viii act fine This famous salts is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
the kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes irritation,
thus ending bladder weakness
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
liniure: makes delightful effervescent
IEthia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

FEW FOLKS HAVE
GRAY HAIR NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur.

Hair that loses it's color and Iustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which is so at
tractive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition of other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance of abundance.

pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and youthful ap-
pearance to the hair. 1t is not in

U-BOAT GETS

LONDON, April 23-(Corresp pond
ence of Associated Press.)-A Ger

this week by gunfire of French de-
stroyer with permission of the British
admiralty, granted with pleasure .
The French were towing two of the
captured craft to France for exhibit
ton purposes. The hawser to one of
them parted in the gale and the de-
stroyers were unable to again take it
in tow. AS the boat threatened to
become a menace to navigation the
French commander asked permission
by wireless to sink it and the request
was granted at once.

Clippings Duppings Dippings

The big increase in Texas and Flor
ida are regarded as particularly mo-
table, indicating aggressive work in
these states with much quarantined
territory. The healthy gain in Alaba-
ma is credited largely to the opera
ton of the new statewide compulsory
dipping law. Decreases in Mississippi
and South Carolina are due to the
fact that these states have been re-
leased from Federal quarantine and
are now conducting "mopping up
work in locally infested areas; in
Louisiana to less infestation tina ma
year ago; in Oklahoma, to the work
being conferred in counties that have
less cattle than the counties that were
dipping in April 1918; and in North
aCrolina where the work has recent
ly been organized.

BLOW
DEALT CATTLE
TICK IN APRIL

WASHINGTON, May 23-The cattle
fever tick was subjected in April of
this year to the heaviest attack ever
made in any April That is shown by
complete reports to the United States
Department of Agriculture.
In April 1919 there were 5,339,0
clippings of cattle in the canals to
prosperity This figure compares
with 3,SS0,1 1876 in April 1918. The great
increase in April clippings signifies a
determination throughout the tick-in-
tested states to get rid of the parasite
as soon as possible, according to Of
ficials of the bureau of animal hus-
bandry
Special stress has been laid on the
advantage that comes from killing
ticks early in the season before they
have had chance to multiply by
thousands and millions. A new record
was set in March of this year and
when April follows with another rec
ord figure every reason is seen for
believing that 1919 will be the biggest
year ever experienced in driving out
the destructive insect enemy of the
cattle industry in the South.
The unprecedented number of dip
pings in April was made possible by
the fact that more dipping watts were
available. Those in use this year num-
bered 30,100, compared with 24,379 in
April 1918. Wherever a dipping vat
