If SKIN BREAKS OUT
IS FIERY, ITCHY OR
ROUGH, Use SULPHUR

just the moment you apply Mentho-
Sulphur to an itching, burning or
broken out skin, the itching stops and
healing begins, says a noted skin spe-
cialist. This sulphur preparation,
made into pleasant cold cream, gives
such a quick relief, even to fiery &C.
zema, that nothing has ever been
found to take it's place.
Because of its germ destroying
properties, it Quickly subdues the itch
ing, cools the Irritation and heals the
eczema right up, leaving a clear,
smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions,
rash, pimp1es or roughness
You do not have to wait for i'm
provement. 1t quickly shows. You
can get little jar of Mentho-S Sulphur
at any drug store.-Advertisem

Wheat street, Lincoln street and
Gadsden street, and will begin build
ing a modern cotton warehouse with
in very short time. The coming to
Columbia of this cotton firm will add
another big business to the city.
Marsh and Son selected Columbia as
the best point from which to conduct
their cotton business and are anX-
ious to get located in their new
quarters.
The selection of Columbia was
made after a thorough investigation
of the advantages offered here in
comparison with other cities, includ-
ing a number in Georgia and South
Carolina. The decision of Marsh and
Son points ccnclusively to the many
advantages offered by Columbia as
business centre.
In connection with the location OF
the new firm in Columbia, j. Fleming
Marsh of Johnston has purchased the
residence at 1906 Pendleton street
from ]. w. Tompkins and expects to
move in a short time. Mr. Marsh eN-
poets to get possession of the new
home within a few weeks and as soon

the home. Mr.. Marsh will be connecE-

Save Money on Meat.

The Division of Women's Activl-
ties, Department of Justice, believes
that the cost of living, so far as
meats are concerned, depends some
what upon the individual housewife.
If the woman who now confines her
purchase to the so-called choice cuts
of hindqualter meat will master the
art of preparing palatably the mex
pensive cuts from the forequater, she
will be able to effect a considerable
saving.
These forequarter cuts have sat-
isfactory food value and when prop
erly, are thoroughly appetizing. The
thirty recipes recommended by the
Division of Women's Activities are
thirty direct and practicable ways to
save money on meat. They will sug-
gest others.

In Re State Memorial Fund.

Early on this, the first Monday
morning, / have had visits and re-
ports from some of the School Dis
trict .Chairmen appointed for raising
this Memorial Fund, and it gives me
great pleasure to announce to the
other chairmen that these have gone
after this matter in the right spirit
and l feel that l can safely say that
they will raise their quotas without
fail.
Mr.. Geo. T. Swearingen, chairman
for his school district, sent in $500
cash this a. m. on his $4,000 appor-
tionment, and reports that he will
make other collections today. Won't
every other chairman please exercise
the same spirit? Your county will ap-
preciate it!
The apportionment is small for
each school disctrict and we CAN
raise it WITHOUT sacrifice to any
| one. VIII you!
Names of the contributors will be
published; also, l will publish each
district that goes over the tsp.
One of the chairmen suggested
that he be permitted to cut his dis
trict into small sections and that he
be allowed to appoint collectors for
each of said sections, because in this
way each one in the whole district
would be seen. l think this a splendid
plan, and hope that the committees
for EACH district will do likewise.
Each chairman has the authority to
