LECTURES ON
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

By invitation of Dr. ID. B. Johnson,
President of Winthrop College, Gen
eral Superintendent, Leon G. Palmer
of the South Carolina Sunday School
Association, will give a course of lee
lures on the principles and methods
of religious education with especial
reference to the Sunday School, at the
Summer School of Winthrop College
next year.
1t is expected that this series will
be full course, extending through
out the six weeks Summer School, on
the same basis as other professional
courses. Similar courses have been
given by Superintendent Palmer, at
the University of Alabama and the
Alabama Polytechnic Institute, it is
stated and the State Department of
Education of Alabama gave full cred
it for these courses toward the ex-
tension of teachers certificates.
On account of the large enrolment
at the Winthrop College Summer
School, which is said to have been ap-
Fortunately fifteen hundred this sum-
mer, it is believed that this feature
next year will be marked helpful
ness in providing the public schools
teachers of the State with definite
training in Sunday School work, thus
enabling them to be of larger service

ABOUT DIGESTION

Digestion begins in the mouth. The
food should be thoroughly masticated
and insalivated before it is swallowed.
When this is habitually neglected
stomach trouble is almost sure to fol-
low. If you have Indigestion eat no
beef or veal and sparingly of other
meats, Imasticate your food thorough
ly and you may recover without taking
any medicine. If your bowels are con-
stipated take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They not only cause gentle move
ment Of the bowels but aid digestion
and strengthen the stomach.

SAYS WARSAW
CAN BE SAVED

Washington. July 22.-Army officers
and officials of the state department
who have been studying the Polish
Russian operations expressed the opin-
ion unofficiallv today that Warsaw can
be saved from the Bolsheviki only if
adequate support is available within
the next few weeks. The government
was without official advices of the re-
ported decision of the allies to send
trops if necessary into Poland to check
the forward movement of the Russians.
1t is believed here that the allied
powers phobably would suggest par
ticipation bv the United States.

WIRELESS TELEPHONES
USED BY FORESTERS
Preliminary Tests Show Invention
Can Be Employed to
ADVANTAGE.

Preliminary tests of the wireless tel
ephone by officers of the forest serv-
ice, United States department of ag-
riculture, in the vicinity of Portland,
Ore, lead to the belief that this in
vention can be utilized extensively in
the national forests, especially in fire
prevention work. While It is recOg-
niZed that there are conditions limit
ing wireless telephone transmission,
the results so far are pronounced very
satisfactory.
One of the sets used in the tests was
installed on Mount Hood Oregon,
where the problem of providing sat
isfactory support for the antennae was
Il difficult one, since mast was needed
which would be strong enough to re-
sist the 20 or so mile gales that sweep
the mountains. At the same time the
mast had to be light enough for the
men to be able to raise and lower 1t
before the Sleet storms. A 5O-foot
bamboo pole was finally selected as
the support.
In the telephone conversations be-
tween the sets, some of which were
ten miles apart, the voice carried very
clearly and was about as loud as over
IA wire line. Telegraph signals from
many stations scattered over the con-
tinent were picked up. On Mount HOOD
they often were so loud as to be audi
bile in any part of the cabin.

One way Of reducing the cost of

through the planting and cultivation
Of home garden-a Thrift garden.
War gardens played their part in the

The reasons for Thrift gardens are
many and various. The same reasons

son are regarded as a good indication
of what conditions will be month
or two from now.
If the reduction of commercial gar
suit will be fewer vegetables and
higher prices. The logical remedy
lies partly in home gardens. This Is
a remedy, moreover, that will work
no harm even If the commercial acre
age should be up to normal, as any
surplus of fresh vegetables may be
saved by canning, drying, and other
means of conservation and the surplus
kept so that 1t will be useful next fall
and winter.

horse, with a new harness and bug

was that 1t had been stolen from the

WEEDS ARE VALUABLE ASSET
Noxious Plants Cut Down and Turned

for Garden.

Weeds in the back yard or on that
vacant lot next door are an asset to
the gardener, for he knows, or should
know, that these weeds, cut down and
turned under in the garden plot, mean
fertilizer for his soil. Turn the rank
grass under with the wheel hoe and
cultivate 1t once to destroy the
growth. When manure is not procur-
able this green material Is invaluable.
