WATERS MAKE
ANGRY PROTEST
Against Orders To Shave Their Mus.
taches or Quit, BY Several Cafes
On Paris BOulevards.

PARIS, Nov. 15-Waiters in seven
or eight of the largest cafes on the
Paris boulevards have been stirred to
angry protest by orders to shave their
mustaches or quit.
One of the bitterest grievances the
walters had when they went on strike
last April was the edict of the en-
ployers to the effect that walters must
sacrifice their mustaches. The wait
ers triumphed and the employers
agreed they should be permitted to
adorn their visages as they pleased.
Now an attempt to revive the ban on
mustaches has reused their indigna-
ton.
THE walters are sufficiently humil-
lated to have to earn their living by
extending their hands to receive what
often proves to be q ridiculous tip,
without being forced to forego one Of
the privileges Of manhood said the
Secretary Of the Union. Really the
ferocious employers know little about
psychology. Should they. maintain
this iniquitous measure destined
solely to give their staff servile APP
pearance toward the customer, they
are picking ont poor time for it.
Whether through snobbishness or ii
the hope Of appearing original, GUS
toners choose to make their faces as

OCTOBER 9TH has been set as
the date for the general election
to fill the unexpired terms in
Congress from the sixth and
seventh Congressional districts
in South Carolina, made vacant
by the death of the late J. Will
ard Ragsdale, of Florence, and
A. F. Lever, of Lexington, who
recently resigned to accept an
appointment on the federal land
bank board.
The democratic primary will
be held Aug. 26th, and if a sec
ond one is necessary, Sept. 9th,
Cole Blease will not enter the
primary, but will be an active
candidate for Levers seat in the
election Oct. 9TH. He has issued
a statement that he was opposed
to the war and urging every dis
satisfied soldier to vote tor him.
But South Carolina, or rather
the seventh district, will surely
not disgrace itself by electing
such a man as Blease to Congress.

GOOD DIGESTION: GOOD HEALTH

lsaa d.
No one, man, woman or child,
is stronger than their stomach,
and any man or woman who may
be working for : living can af-
ford to neglect this vital organ
of the system. For as sure as
the stomach becomes deranged
it means that your earning ca
pacity will be greatly decreased,
since a disordered stomach often
results in serious digestion
troubles, the blood becomes
sluggish and full of poison,
headaches often occur, the ap-
petite falls off, you become ner-
yous, lose weight, can't sleep
well and you decline generally.
By taking a good tonic it is
possible for you to keep well and
strong at all times and so be
able to take advantage of the
high scale of wages now pre-
vailing. Earle's Hypo-Cod, the
great flesh and strength build
er, is the tonic to take. This
exceptional preparation cleanses
the waste matter from the sys-
tenn, strengthens the digestive
organs so that they can extract
the full nourishment from your
food, helps make rich, red, pure
blood, increases the appetite,
strengthens the nerves, clears
the complexion, increases weight
and often doubles your strength
in a few weeks time.
Earles Hypo-Cod contains no
dangerous or habit forming
drug. There is no secret in the
formula, which is printed on ev-
cry bottle and carton. It con-
tains nothing but the very valu-
able extractives from fresh cod
liver oil, malt, iron, wild cherry
bark, quinine, lime, hypophos-
phites, manganese, aromatics
and other medicinal properties
of known value.
Earle's Hypo-Cod costs but
little. Just get a bottle of
Earle's Hypo-Cod today. You'll
like it's delightful wine-like fla
vor and the good it will do you
will exceed your fondest expec-
tations. Look for the name of
the Earle Chemical Company on
the carton, which is assurance
of first quality.

ceipt of price, $1,20-plus &c

you can get anything in the way

are made in 38m m to Ann m

Etoo, that you can get the best
service in examination, and re-
member, that if your eyes are
still giving you trouble after you
have had rour glasses fitted it is
because the glasses are not cor

cause the object must be held
TOO close to the eye, and if held
too far away there is still strain.

AT Des Moines, Iowa, each
year, there is a baby show at the
state fair. Babies are entered
from all parts of the state, ard
judged by score cards. They
are classified as coming from
cities, small towns, and from the
country. e. from farms.
And each year the farm babies,
both boys and girls, no matter
what age, average the lowest in
health. The town babies beat
them every year. Yet Iowa is
a typical farming state, and a
prosperous one.
And at a meeting of the Nation
al Educational Association, held
in February, 1919, a chart was
presented showing what percent
age of school children are afflict-
ed with various diseases, both in
the city and in the country.
There were fourteen kinds of
disease tabulated, and the coun-
try children were found to be
the greater sufferers from each
of the diseases. The disorders
listed were tonsil defects, teeth
defects, weak eyes, adenoids, ear
troubles, enlarged glands, NAL
nutrition, breathing defects, spi-
nal curvature, anaemia, social
disease, lung disease, heart
trouple, and weak mentality.
1t seems almost incredible, but
it is so true that experts have
been giving the matter anxious
consideration. They have de-
cided that the disease rate among
country children is caused by
the unhealthy condition of ten
ant farmers homes. AS a ten
ant knows he may be leaving be-
fore long, he is not disposed to
improve living conditions for the
benefit of the next tenant. Bac
ventilation, absence of screens
insanitary fixtures, leaky roofs
all continue from year to year
The landlord will not make i'm
provements, because he fee}'
that the next tenant will want i
done all over again anyhow.

Gettinn Them Mixed.

Hazel, age six, dotes on using big
words, but she occasionally gets them
mixed. She came home from school
one day all aglow with sympathy.
There was a little boy in her room
too poor to buy any paints.
''An right, Hazel" said her mother,
"you may have the money to buy the
paints, only you had better have the
teacher give them to the little boy in
stead of giving them yourself, for fear
he might be embarrassed"
"I gave them to Miss Wright,
mother" said Hazel that evening in
telling of what she had done, "and
I told her not to tell the little boy
who sent them cause 1 was afraid
he might be so astonished."

Thespian HAPPINESS,

Some one at the Lambs club once
asked George Cohan, the player, to
define his idea of happiness. WELL"
said George, "the term happiness
must, of course, carry a different
notion of different people-for in
stance, folks in different lines of hui
man endeavor would naturally have
each their own notion of the meaning
of the word. AS an actor, I may say
that my idea of true happiness would
be to lie on luxurious couch before
a fine fire on winters afternoon,
smoking a large Havana cigar pre-
sented tD me by some admirer, while
listened to a woman who worships
me read fattering press notices about
my acting"

Plants Are Prolific.

If all the seeds of any one sort Of
plant were allowed to grow they would
soon cover the earth to the exclusion
of all else. A single orchid plant pro-
duced more than 100000 seeds In
a season and many common plants, as
the foxglove, very nearly equal this re-
markable record.
