ENFORCING PROHIBITION LAWS,
Director Says He Will Have to Fight
Band of Desperate Criminals.

Atlanta, Nov. 25-D. j. Gnatt, re-
Gently appointed by the federal gov
ernment to supervise prohibition en-
forcement in the southeast, in state
ment to the Prohibition Enforcement
Campaign Committee, declares that
enforcement means battle to the fin
ish with well organized band OF the
most desperate Of criminals and yegg-
man. The statement says:
1.-The whiskey interests are well
organized. On account of the enor--
nous profits in the manufacture and
sale of the whiskey it has drawn into
this traffic the most desperate OF
criminals and yeggmen, and it is no
child's play to bring these men to
justice.
'It looks like unfortunate circum-
stances move in cycles and six Of my
men now are under indictment for
murder because of having to shoot
men who tried to kill them.
1--WE have been operating entirely
heretofore under the revnue laws, and
it would not be surprising to me at
all if we continue to operate under
them instead Of the new prohibition
law, because the internal revenue
laws provide for a minimum penalty
and the prohibition laws can be whit
tied down to penalty of even one
cent.
'SThe force in our territorial di-
vision will consist of a number of Of
ficers who will be available for this
line of work. They will not be re
stricted to any special territorial ar
rangement, but they can be used
where their services are most needed,
When these officers are not employ
ed on one of these cleanups they will
be placed at strategic points ready
for instant action.
with an appropriation of only
$2,000,000 for this work for the fis-
cal year 1920 you can readily see
that it is going to be impossible for
the Federal government to take over
all the responsibility Of enforcing
these various laws, and it is going to
be necessary, if you want enforce
ment of the law, to secure the func
tions of sheriff, police officers and
all other officers of the law.

A MERCILESS JUDGE.
One Who Shows No Favor.

A merciless Judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting
go to the wall. Only the truth can
stands For years the following state
ment from a Dillon resident has
withstood this sternest of all tests.
C. E. Peck, Dillon, gave the follow
ing statement December 21, 1914:
my kidneys were out of order and
l had dull pains in the small Of my
back. l was so sore and lame l could
hardly bend and it was just as hard
to straighten. 1 had headaches and
spells of dizziness. The secretions
passed irregularly and 1 had other
symptoms of kidney trouble l read
of Doan's Kidney Pills and after US
ing them as directed soon got re-
lief from my trouble. I keep Doan's
on hand now and when a kidney
medicine is needed they never fail to
give good results"
Lasting Benefit.
On January 20, 1918 Mr.. Peck
said: 'I have had better health the
last four years than 1 have ever had
inmy life. l give the credit to Doan's
Kidney Pills as they gave me cure
four years ago. am glad to confirm
my statement of 1914"

December i 10 lU is lie TIME ap-
pointed for the national campaign
against tuberculosis, the most deadly
plague in the world. Other plaques
come and go, but tuberculosis has
been steadily busy for over 1000
years. 1t kills 10000 people every
year in the Unied States, or / every
8 minutes, 20 an hour, 4S0 day. A
large per cent of its victims are men
and women in the prime of life.
Ten per cent of all persons who
die in the United Statess each year
or one out of very ten fall victims of
tuberculosis. And yet tuberculosis is
preyentable and durable.
The National tuberculosis Associa-
tion and it's 1000 State and local or
CARNATIONS are waging systematic
warfare against this insidious foe OF
mankind. They are helping to cure
the afflicted and taking approved
scientific measures to check and pre-
vent the spread of the disease. 1t
is in this work, which is financed
chiefly by the sale of Red Cross
seals, that your help is asked. Won't
you do your part to end the war
that is causing untold suffering and
csting the nation 10000 lives every
year?
The quota for South Carolina is
$65,000. Dillon's share is $1,000.
rs per cent of the amount raised will
be spent for health work in the coun-
ty, per cent goes to the National
Red Cross Society and 20 per cent

New York.-For months naval au-
thorities and private steamship COM
panies have been seriously consider
ing the conversion of vessels from coal
to oil burners and some have already
made that change. The coal mine
strike has quickened plans to make
fuel oil the ship-propelling power of
the future, and many companies have
announced their purpose to run their
craft with oil instead Of coal.
Oil, it is argued by engineers en-
gagged in making the change, will cut
large slices from the expenses of OPP
GRAFTON, the size of crews, eliminating
coal stokers and increasing cargo
space by releasing much space now
given ove to coal.

viathan an oil burner. 1t is no secret
that she is considered a failure. from

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for sugar
or for other normal ingredients of
foods should be declared on the labels
of the packages of food in which they
are used, If the packages are shipped
within the jurisdiction Of the federal
food and drugs act, say the officials
of the Bureau of chemistry, United
States department Of agriculture, who
are charged with the enforcement Of
that act. Only substitutes which are
harmless are permitted in foods un-
der the terms of the law, and those
that are permitted should be stated
clearly on the labels.
The object of the regulation re-
curing that substitutes be declared
on the labels is not to limit in any
way the use Of wholesome substitutes,
the officials state, but to let the con-
sumers know what they are getting. A
purchaser of any food product, Of
which sugar is a normal ingredient,
will naturally expect to get sugar In
that product unless advised to the con-
trary. AS the substitutes are usually
cheaper than the substance for which
they are used, 1t Is only fair, both
from the standpoint of the purchaser
and from that of fair trading, that a
clear distinction be made on the Ia
bells between foods that contain all
the normal ingredients and foods In
which one or more of the normal ingre-
dents is replaced by a cheaper sub
stance.
Substitutes That May Be Used.
There are q number of substitutes
for sugar which can very properly be
used In manufactured foods, such as
jams, %jellies, marmalades, pops, soda
water, CONNECTIONS, and the like. Among
substitutes that may be used, If prop
erly declared on the labels, are maple
sugar strip, glucose, corr sugar, corn
strip. honey, and high-grade refiners'
sirup.
~Saccharin, a coal-tar product which
has been widely advertised by it's
manufacturers as a sugar substitute,
is not a proper or legal substitute,
since IL is held to be injurious to
health, and as 1t has no food value
whatever. II lowers the quality Of the
food in which 1t replaces sugar, which
has q high food value. The use OF

horses must rest until after noon, and

while the girl busted herself with work

After the midday dinner Dave har-

town, but before leaving inquired Of
Irene If there were any special pur-

OF the house, which she would recon-

The day was Introductory to others
that were to follow. Dave returned
the next afternoon, riding his own
horse and heavily laden with cigars,
magazines and soap.
The following day It was decided
that the automobile, which since the
accident had laid upturned by the road
way, should be brought to the ranch
buildings. Dave harnessed his team
and, instead Of riding one Of the horses,
walked behind, driving by the reins,
and accompanied by the girl, who had
proclaimed her ability to steer the car.
With the aid Of the team and Dawes
aariat the car was soon righted and was
found to be none the worse for its de-
election from the beaten track. Irene
presided at the steering-wheel, watch

Many Advantages in Oil.
Asked by a reporter for The World
the advantages Of oil over coal a
shipping expert said:
"Oil requires less bunker space for
a given steaming radius. 1t can be
carried between double bottoms and
in other places where neither coal nor
cargo can be stored. The space saved
can be used by freight-paying cargo.
"Bunkering can be effected with
greater dispatch and is not interfered
with by darkness or weather. Dirt
and other discomforts attending the
loading and S of coal are missing
with oil. There is no need of machin-
cry such as is required for handling
ashes. Stocking is eliminated, reduc-
ing the number Of men necessary.
