oNE-TH1RD OF A CENT A DAY

The Bureau Of Salvage and Shop
was esta ab1ished by the Pacific Division
Of the Red Cross in February, 1918.
This bureau has now become a regu
larly established commercial business
The base principle Of salvage and
shop work is that many articles and
materials of no value whatever in the
small quantities in which they are
thrown out by individuals may be col
lected and sold to advantage in large
quantities. The tinfoil collection is
one item.
The bureau has taken for it's slogan
'.one-third Of cent day." remind
ing the country that If each person in
the United States saved material
worth even as little as that, the Red
Cross would have, from this source
/. alone, practically 125,0oo,o0o year
to spend for relief work.
The expenses of operation so fer
have been kept to a minimum.
great deal Of the work is done by vol
unteers. There is no attempt to com
pete with merchants in any way. The
bureau makes no requests for funds.
Not only does the work Of this bu-
reau supply an increasing income fo1
relief work, but it also serves as q
means Of education in conservation
and thrift So valuable has, its wcrE

iais and used garments that many To-
cal organizations are glad to cooper.
ate with the salvage and shop COM
naittee, thus avoiding duplication o!
effort.
Now that the war is over, many are
inclined to forget the lessons in thrift:
learned so cheerfully and practisea 81
patriotically year ago. It is we'll e
be reminded of the value Of these
small things, so long as they are KEEP
in their place as aid and steps K

Tax Commission
Checks Up Lists
To Summon Merchants Failing to
Return Blanks

Columbia, June 19.-During the
last few weeks the South Carolina tax
commission has been receiving stock
statements from merchants over the
State, and at the present time the
commission is making its final check
OF the lists of merchants in order to
ascertain the names. of those who
have failed to send in the blanks.
Within few days merchants who
have failed to send in their statements
will be summoned to appear before
the commission with their RECORDS,
books, papers and other documents SO
that the commission, from the date be-
fore them, can find out the value OF
their stocks of goods.
In the act to create the tax comnlls-
sion, the commission is given author
ity .'to summon Witness to appear
and give testimony and to produce
records, books, papers and docu-
ments relating to any matters which
the commission shall have authority
to investigate or determine"
I'm May the commission began its
work Of sending out blank statements
to merchants in the State, asking
them to fill in the blanks and return
them as soon as possible. A short
time thereafter, a second letter was
sent out to merchants who had failed
to respond to the first, again blank
was inclosed and the merchants urg-
ed to respond promptly
W. G. Query, a member of the COM
mission said yesterdy that the two
letters had brought replies from
great number of merchants only
small per cent. failing to respond to
one or the other of the two letters.
The merchants who have not respond
ed at al TO letters sent out are now
to be summoned to appear before the
commission with their records, SO that
the commission may determine the
amount of stock carried.

HOW TO KEEP HOT.

Arise about an hour late in the
morning so as to escape the cool
freshness of the early dawn.
Proceed hurriedly to prepare the
breakfast or for the business day.
Do not take cold plunge or sponge,
as this may lower the vitality and re-
suit in comparative GOODNESS for sew
eral hours.
Dress as nearly as possible as IN
winter. Flannels are not necessary,
but high collars and heavy outer
clothing should be worn. Choose new
materials as much as possible-there
is nothing so cool as worn cotton gar
ments.
Complain constantly about the
heat. If necessary to raise the tenn
perature a little further, fly into fire.
quent RACES.
Take pains whenever writing let
ters to mention the exact height OF
the thermometer for the last ten
days.
Do everything hurriedly. Do not
seek the shady side of the street. AT
the close Of the day eat heartily OF
hot meats, soups and rich pastries
and drink plenty Of hot tea or coffee
After supper do not sit out on the
porch in cool attire. Dress neatly, si'
in the house and light the lamp early
sit close to it and read until bed time
Do not sleep with the window open. A
draft may upset all the care Of the
day.
If this regime is carefully followed
it Is guaranteed to give full measure
Of hot weather to anybody. 1t is even
possible by crowding it a little to en-.
Joy a, heat stroke or apopleXy.

Guard Against Typhoid.

In urging the people of this COM
to take vaccine, the Sumter
County messenger sounds a note that
should be trumpeted throughout the
State.
'In this age of enlightenment" "
says our contemporary, when science
shows us how to prevent disease, ev-
cry one should take the precautionary
steps to safeguard his own health and
that of his family and community,
Particularly, is this true after the
warning which physicians have given
of the extraordinary perils Of typhoid
at this time.
The waves Of influenza, which
swept the country last winter, left
thousands of people in a weakened
condition and therefore peculiarly sus-
ceptible to other diseases.
It is more than ever important,
therefore, that every possible pre-
ventative be mustered into service
during the summer which is upon us.
Chief among these is sanitation. The
household and the community that
value their health will see to it that
no fy-breeding nook or corner is left
unpurged, or removed as drastically
as though its every atom were the
habitat of legion Of devils And
that is really the nature of every
piece of matter on which fly lodges
and feeds.
Carelessness in this respect is meal
dangerous.
But sanitation, alone. is not

And there's certainly poetic justice in
the plan-the locusts eat the crops,
and people eat the locusts.

MONEY FOR BUSINESS NEEDS.


The discovery made by congress
that governmental expenses for the
next fiscal year will be larger than
was expected has given rise to the be-
lief that there viii have to be one or
two more Liberty Loans This has
had a rather unsettling effect on bus
mess, coming at a time when busi-
ness men generally had just begun to
feel relief from the long series OF
popular loan campaigns and the
financial tightening that attended
them.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass
does well to conteract pessimism, by
announcing again, unequiyocally, that
there are to be no more Liberty
Loans. The government Will need to
borrow money from time to time, but
it will do so by the process Of private
loans-mostly Short-term borrowings
from banks in anticipation of tax col
lectionS.
This assurance should have its nat
tural effect in loosening credit and
making more money available for
private enterprises Of all sorts. Busi-
ness revival means, first Of all, abll-
ity to borrow money promptly, at
fair interest, for any legitimate in
vestment or development. With So
500, ,00o,0 600 Of the $4,50o,000, 900 Vic
tory Loan already paid in. and with
no more such loans in prospect, there
should be plenty Of money for busi-
ness needs.
