Work Hard and PLAY Hard.

Regular daily relaxation and partic-

to live a decent, hygienic life in gener-

the secret of business success. Fol-
lowing this plan, men of only average
ability can and do advance by rapid
stages while without its aid more bril-
liant men falter and fail.

BRITISH GROCERS MADE
INCREASE WAR PROFITS

London, March According to
Arthur j. Giles, secretary of the Brit
ish Grocers Federation, profits of the
British grocery trade increased about
$45 100000 year during the war.
THE Food Controller" Mr. Giles
said, has been the grocers' real
friend for the last four or five years,
in enabling them to dispose of all
their surplus stock, much of which the
public would not look at prior to the
war.
THAT is on of the good things the
war has accomplished. 1t has been
a veritable spring cleaning for the
grocers.
A further asset was the resgistra-
ton of customers, which insured the
grocer a trade without his having to
work it up by his own personality

GREAT CHANNEL
TUNNEL REVISED
WOULD COST 100 MILLIONS AND
TAKE 5 YEARS TO BUILD.

Londonf March ID (Correspon-
dence Of The Associated Press -
Intense interest has been aroused by
the governments announcement that
the long projected tunnel under the
English Channel to connect England
and France is soon to be constructed.
The cost of the enterprise is roughly
estimated at $1O0,0OO0OO. Some say
the tunnel could be completed in
five and half years.
A commission in Paris which has
been discussing this project also is
considering the building of tunnels
under the Bosplforus connecting Eu-
rope with Asia and one from Gibral-
tar connecting Europe with Africa
The English Channel Tunnel Com
pany has done vast amount of work
in anticipation of the resumption of
actual construction of the tunnel 10
France. Engineering plans are said
to be so far advanced that the work
could begin at once
With the exception of the Panama
Canal, it will be the biggest engi-
neering enterprise of modern times.
The total length, including approaches
in England and France, will be 80
miles, with more than q u miles of
it under the sea. The plans provide
for two tunnels, each eighteen feet
in diameter, connected by cross gal
leries at intervals of 200 yards. The
maximum depth of water on the
route is 1870 feet, and cover Of chalk
about 100 feet thick would be felt
undisturbed above the crown of the
tunnel to provide against danger
from enemy attack with submarine
explosives. The tunnels level below
the sea thus will be about $50 feet
Iron tubes will be built as the tun-
mel advances. The extraordinary adj
vance is made in tunneling in recent
years, especially in the United States,
will enable the engineers to proceed
with great speed. The railway lines
viii be operated by electricity as in
the case of the Simplon tunnel under
the Swiss mountain OF that name,
and which is 1917 miles in length,
The longest at present in the world.
Before the war the quickest service
from London to Paris was in six hours
md As minutes. With the tunnel the
Journey could be made in six hours,
whatever the weather
Speaking of the problems of build
.ng thetunnel English engineers say
the sea itself offers no difficulty,
that the only risk lies in the geologi-
cal formations. The first layer under
the channel is white chalk, and be-
meath this is belt of gray chalk
some 900 feet thick The gerat ques
thion is whether the gray chalk is
impervious to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined but
expert opinion favors a spot just be
hind Dover and, in France, point
close to Cape Grisnez.
The tunnel will be capable of hand
ling 10000 passengers and 10000 tons
of goods each way in "a hours. Ordi-
nary railway rolling stock, including
sleeping and dining cars, will be able
to use the route.

WANT BRITISH
Dentistry LAWS.
AMERICANS IN ENGLAND FIND
EVERYBODY AT BUSINESS.

London, March 12.-(Correspon-
dence of The Associated Press J.
Butchers, drillers and turner's are
practicing dentistry in England The
only restriction, aside from possible
damage suits, is that the Operator"
does not call himself dentist" or
dental practitioner" 1t is unneces-
sary to register and anyone may start
in the business.
This condition with its resultant
health injuries has long been dis
cussed in medical organizations with
out remedy but at last it has been
investigated by a governmental com
mittee. The whole system is criti-
cized and the many American dentists
IN London are hopeful that Parliament
viii standardize the practice of den
tistry as it has medicine and at the
same time, recognize dentistry as a
profession. There is no such recog-
milton now.
Some of the American dentists in
London enjoy an exclusive clientele
but the reputation of the United
states for good dentistry has been
seized upon by unqualified persons in
their flamboyant advertisements
They may and do advertise "Ameri-
can dentistry and escape the tech
nicalities of the law by not using the
word dentists"
The Departmental Committee of the
Dentists Act shows how the Opera
tors" work. One had twenty can
vassers some of whom carried their
tools with them so they could "op-
crate" at the home of the victim
Another made a speciality of correct
ing the front teeth of young women
usually munition workers with new
ly found wealth. The system was to
extract or saw off the Objectionable
teeth and fit new ones.
Larfe profits are made and there
rank of unqualified operators while
the number of licensed dentists has
not increased in fifteen years. The
committees principal recommends
tons are:
Prohibition of the practice of den
tristry by persons not registered.
Establishment of a public dental
service.
Increased grants to dental schools.
Provision for dental treatment for
expectant mothers and children under
five.
Adequate system of school dental
treatment. RI *a

ACTRESS PAINTS HARD
LIFE FOR STAGE WOMEN

London, March ga dark picture
of life on the stage was drawn by
Miss Muriel Pratt, well-known Lon
don actress, in speech the other
day.
1.-THE discomfort of theatre" she
said, even in the West-end, if one is
lucky enough to have a star dress
ing-room, is extraordinary disagree
able. The draughts from the theatre,
the GOODNESS in winter, the heat in
summer, and the entire lack of any
form of comfort even in London,
would be enough to deter most peo-
pie, even if they knew it beforehand,
from going on the stage.
I'm the provinces it is fifty times
worse, and the music-halls are indie
scribably uncomfortable. They are
dirty, they are cold, there is abso-
lutely no comfort of any kind. The
journeys are bad, and one spent most
of ones time waiting about cold sta
tons 1t is impossible to get food,
and the whole of the life of the stage,
even to people who can raise pro-
tests and do their best to help them
selves, is painful and horrible"

ONLY One DAY
LEFT in OFFER
OF EXTRAVOTES

There remains only one more day
of the last extra vote feature in The
Times Recorders Big Subscription
Drive. This last feature, which closes
at 10 o'clock Thursday night, is the
New Subscription feature, in which
every new yearly subscription to
either the daily or the weekly gets 50,-
600 extra votes in addition to the
regular last period votes. There are
no club votes offered for the re-
mainder of the campaign. This $4,000
offer for every new yearly subscrip
tions also holds true on those turn
ed in heretofore during the campaign,
and all candidates have $4,000 extra
votes coming to them for every year
of new subscription or it's equivalent
These votes will be issued and ready
for each candidate when they call
Thursday No votes extra on new
subscriptions will be issued after
Thursday, but the campaign office will
remain open Thursday evening for
the convenience of those who are not
in position to call during the day.
Each candidate should bring or know
exactly how many new ballots she
has ON new subscriptions, in order to
to be sure that the ballot she receives
is correct for the amount due her.
The Second Payment feature, how
ever, in which $4,000 extra votes are
also issued to every year of second
paid subscriptions, continues until the
last minute of the drive. A second
paid subscription receives all that
the first one got both of the regular
votes and special club votes, accord
ing to the period in which the first one
was paid. There is no doubt that a
number of candidates will avail them
selves of this last minute opportunity
to get a huge number of votes The
offer is, of course, fair and open to
all, because the first subscription does
not necessarily have to have been
paid to the person receiving the sec
ond, but just as surely as it is a sec
ond payment and receives all the
votes that the first one received. If
the first subscription was in the first
period and got 10000 regular votes
and special club votes at the rate Of
100000 to $4,000, the second paid year

DATE LIMIT FOR
JOINING RURAL
CLUBSEXTENDED

Because of bad roads due to wealth
er conditions, and because of the pre-
calence of influenza during the win
ter months, the period of enrolment
for members of the Canning and Poul
try Clubs, and for women as home
demonstrators in dairying, gardening,
and poultry work has been extended
by the Department of Agriculture I'M
til May 1.
Those enrolling after this time are
eligible for County Fair priest but
not for State Fair prizes.
Any boy or girl over eleven years
of age, and any woman in the county
wishing instruction in any of these
lines may obtain them by giving their
Agent, Mrs. Olin Williams By so
doing they obligate themselves to
nothing except to follow, as nearly as
possible, instructions sent out by the
Department of Agriculture. In re-
turn they get the benefit of the scien-
tific knowledge of specialists in the
form of circular letters, bulletins, and
actual demonstrations in the home.
Where this study is carried on, the
results are said to be always better
home economic conditions, and the
highest market prices for produce be-
cause of higher grade products.
Over one hundred girls in Sumter
