HOW TO PREVENT THE ~FLU"

In order to avoid recurrence of the
influenza epidemic whose ravages last
year resulted in great loss of life, the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor has made
public the following rules, calculated
to ward off this dangerous disease,
which have the endorsement of the
physicians of the Association.
obey all regulations of the City
Health Authorities.

5@Keep the home well ventilated
and be sure there is plenty of fresh
air day and night.
6-S1eep with the windows open
Avoid fatigue and get plenty of
rest; in particular, avoid fatigue of
the stomach and excessive eating of
unsuitable food. Sleep is one of the
most important things and the thing
that IS most neglected
S-Be much as possible in the
open air and walk to your work if
| possible.
| 9-Eat three uniform meals day,
and avoid a breakfast of mere coffee
and a mere piece of cake or some
thing the kind for lunch Special
caution should be taken against gorg-
/ ing at dinner time when the stomach
/ is least able to cope with the largest
meal of the day, and which practice
! is bound to lower the resistance of
the system.
| Keep warm and keep dry; the wrap
ping up of the neck or exposing the
neck and arms unduly are undesirable
in the changing weather of the Fall.
11-Bathe frequently. The skin is
part of the breathing system of the
1 body and must be aired
/ 12-Exereise regularly, both in the
open and indoors if possible
/ 13-Avoid the common drinking cup
| or glass
/ 14If you feel sick and have bad
/ cold coming go to bed Call the
/ doctor Stay in bed until the doctor
says you can get up and don't receive
callers or visitors until the doctor says
that danger of infection is passed.

SUBSCRIPTION TO
IMPROVE CHESTERFIEI, D STREET

Chesterfield is to have graded and
gravcled streets!
This important decision was arriv-
ed at few days ago when several of
our public spirited citizens entered in
to discussion as to the best and quick
est way of ending the present nuis-
ance.
The almost impossible condition
of Main street was at least bearable
when it was muddy. Now that the
mud has turned to dust life is not
worth living to the merchants, clerks,
customers and others who spend a
large part of their time on that street.
p The damage to goods and store
fixtures will amount to figures of no
mean proportions. Now, it was a very
difficult proposition to get quick ac-
ton, and yet every one seemed to be
filled with civic pride. That is the
quality that will do the work. No

RICHLAND COUNTY
VOTES FOR ROADS

Richland county on Tuesday Joined
the procession and voted for bond
issue of $2,00O,0OO for the building of
permanent good roads.
While there was some opposition to
tho issue in the back woods districts
of the county, it was unavailing. The
issue carried by vote of more than
2 to 1. In Columbia the majority was
to in favor of the bonds.
Richland county deserves the con-
gratulations of the State. The ex-
ample set is splendid one and there
is no doubt that its effect will be mani
fest in all parts of the State. The
good roads movement is growing and
nothing can stop it.
Richland county owes. debt of
gratitude to the city of Columbia for
the great campaign that city waged
in the interest of the bond issue and
the large vote she piled up in it's fa-
vor. Columbia gets none of the
money for city improvements. The
entire two millions are to be spent on
roads through the country districts.

THE ADVERTISER CIRCULATES

When Mr.. Will Lucas gave the
Advertiser the copy for his last weeks
advertisement he was mostly looking
ahead. He was directing attention
to two carloads of automobiles that
he expects not yet but soon. Will has
4 long and good eye. Consequently
he looks ahead. However, he did
mention as a sort of afterthought that
he had Ford sedan for sale at the
list price. The Advertiser prip4ed
this on Thursday morning. On Fri
day morning three men from three
counties were after the car. While
they were talking money with Mr..
Lucas another man from Latta, s. c.,
called over the phone. He wanted
the car One of the men hearing Will
say, "No, ] haven't sold it yet" yelled
Yes you have. take it," AS Mr.
Lucas note in this column shows, five
more cars could have been sold on the
strength of that one advertisement.
The Advertiser has just been in
formed that DIR. ID. II. Teal has sold
400 acres of land to parties in Dar-
!ington county, as direct result of
an advertisement in this paper. The
price was $40 per acre or $28, 900 for
the parcel.

STOLE THE CALF BUT
Borrowed THE ROPE

Abraham Redfearn, a colored boy
about Ia, certainly will never. want
for anything that pure unadultcrated
nerve will get him, for he has DEM
onstrated that he has an abundance
of that quality on tap. That he was
hailed into court and escaped prison,
when his people paid his fine, was due
to lack of judgment rather than
lack of assurance.
Abe went to Mr.. w. w. Melton's
pasture and loohed over the cattle
grazing therein. Seeing Il yearling
heifer that met with his approval he
decide1to appropriate it. The only
difficulty was to get it away He
scratched his woolly head and be-
thought himself. He then put his
hoeght into action. He went boldly
to the Melton home, knocked at
The door and when Mrs. Melton
asked what he wanted, he Informed
her that he had bought calf from
Mr.. Melton and would she kindly
give him a piece of rope to lead it
away with.
Unsuspectingly. Mrs. Melton look
I'd around and found piece Of rope
md gave it to Abraham, who thanked
ler politely and hied himself to the
pasture and lossocd the calf and to-
gethcr they departed.
Now it so happened that Mrs. Mel
ton had little curiosity as to the
price of veal, SO she casually asked
hcr husband ~ supper that night,
What he got for the calf To which
he parried, not so casually, What
calf?" She didn't know just what
talf, so he hurried to the field and
discovered which one was not at
home. He then called up Deputy
Sheriff j. T. Grant and poured his
,ale Of woe into his ear via long dis
tance.
Sure" answered j. r., "Abe Red
fearn sold $l8 worth of calf to Mr.
Bennie Davis for 5000. That must
be your calf"
And it was. Mr.. Davis got his SO
back. Mr.. Melton got his calf back !;
Mrs. Melton got her rope back and
Abe has soon caught and gave most
Of the money back. His people paid
MS fine and promised when they got
him back home they would convince
him of the error Of his ways.
