The action Of the Jockey Club stew

OF agent was one of the principal
topics among the turtles. who are
beginning to gather for the opening
of the season tomorrow at Bowie.
Practically all agreed that the New

skids beneath the Marylander. The
Jockey Club always has been su-
preme in the East and does not like
to have its power questioned. Its
desire is to WELD a club OF some sort
over racing in this State. and it is
making an effort to stick like a bull
dog when he has a stranglehold upon
q rival.

UNCLE SAM TELLS HOW
TO STOP YOUR COLD

One of the most important things
to do after having contracted a cold
is to take a foot bath at a tempera-
ture of lis degrees Fahrenheit, a
good hot drink either a hot lemon
ade or hot milk, and dose of relax
ing medicine.
If it is convenient, it is we'll to
take a full hot or warm bath from
100 to 115 degrees, and then go
promptly to bed.
You will be surprised how much
time you can save by recognizing
the first danger signal of the So
called common cold.
AS regards food, eat moderately.
Whiskey and heavy doses Of quinine
which you frequently hear recon-
mended are decidedly Objectionable
and cd more harm than good.
Remember, the so-called cold may
be the beginning of an attack of in
fluenza, or tuberculosis, or pneu-
monia or, in children, not infre-
quently of whooping cough or meas
les.
A cold in young infant is al
ways dangerous. 1t spreads rapidly
if not gotten promptly under con-
troll and soon involves the bronchial
tubes and the lungs, resulting in
ibroncho-pneumonia, which is very
fatal disease in children under five
years of age.
The mother who has a cold should
always wear a mask when nursing
her baby, so as to prevent the pos
sibility of any droplets coming in
contact with the child.

A BIG OPPORTUNITY

Clemson College.--The farmers
of South Carolina, as well as the
town people now have an excellent
chance to reduce the losses they
have sustained the past year, to
beat the H C. of L. and at the same
time to take out an insurance policy
on health not only for the head of
the family but for every member of
the family. And what will it cost to
take advantage of this opportunity?
The cost depends on the way you
look at the proposition. To many the
cost will be the pleasure they get
out of it, but to others it will be
hard labor.
This opportunity is spring garden
says A. M. Musser, assistant Exten-
sion Service horticulturist. More
than enough vegetables for the
whole family can be. raised at the
expense of few hours labor a
week, and there will be the advan-
tage of having fresh, crisp vegeta-
bles for the table instead of stale,
half dried vegetable which you of
ten buy at the local stores.
While costs of production in ev-
cry line are much higher than in
1914, the cost Of producing gar
den is as cheap as it was in 1914.
Sunshine and rain cost nothing. It
takes but little fertilizer, and the
time it takes to cultivate a family
garden is many times smaller than
the time the average man idles away
in a year. <,.
If your income has been increas-
ed, spring garden will help save
that INCREASE and if your income has
not been increased, there is all the
more reason for planting a garden.
In . nearly. every community in
South Carolina, there are men who
always grow their own vegetables.
These men are not. worrying much
about the price of cotton, for they
are in position to hold their cotton
until prices get Gbetter and at the
same time they have plenty to eat
at small cost.
February is the time to start your
spring garden. Make plans now and
order seeds from a reliable dealer.
A good garden will enable you to
tide over hard times that would be
much harder if you had to pay cash
for everything you get.

THE STORY OF AN EGG

The hard times strikes everybody
and is the topic of conversation
where ever one or two are gathered

point with most men and Col. Billy
Owens says an egg at six and half
cents apiece burns his mouth just
like Red Devil Lye when he bites
down on it.

been cleared up when some of the

QUINN, MCLAUGHLIN
TOLEAD DEFIANCE

At a recent meeting of the ath-
ietc committee Of the Defiance Ath-
letic Association, James A. Quinn
and James +. Mclaughlin were
elected to lead the Purple and Gold
gladiators on the wooden ways dur
ing the coming season in the capac-
ity of manager and business man
ager, respectively.
"F'usser' as Quinn is popularly
known, is undoubtedly one Of the
most brilliant basketball stars in the
State. While cavorting under the
colors Of the Salesianum Catholic
High he gained quite a reputation
and proved one of the best basket
eers the Eighth street institution
has ever produced, and they have
had some good ones. In the year
Quinn led the high school quintet, it
came through the season with a rec
ord OF 20 victories and two defeats
a mark that will more than likely
stand for some time. He has been
a leading light with the teams Of
Defiance in baseball, basketball ana
football.
In 1919 when not playing with
.Salesianum and Defiance he worked
with the National Aniline five Of
Chester in the Industrial League.
which boasted of some OF the best
players of the country. He proved
one of the leading scorers Of his
team. Quinn is one Of the most pop
ular young men in the Tenth ward
and his selection as manager met
with the approval Of the large fol-
lowing OF basketball lovers through
out the city.

Middletown 8. Townsend 8. Same
old story Of hanging up another
scalp for the local boys. And this
was some victory, too.
At that, the boys from the hick-
town certainly sprang a surprise
upon the local fans Most OF them
were anticipating about a 20 to
score.
Old George Winters went to the
pitching peak in the third frame and
he demonstrated that he stin has
the goods on the hill.
George allowed the local slugeers
but four hits in the six innings he
pitched and two OF these came in
the eighth session.
Big Boy Carson also pitched a

sixth inning.
II looked bad for Middletown in
the sixth session with the cushions
peopled, one out and three runs al
ready in. Shippers stab OF SCOTS
liner. which doubled Harry Hook
on second saved the day, for Carson.
IL looked like a parade around the
bases in the second session when
the local wrecking crew started 10
wade into Watkins pitching. Four
runners had dented the scoring sta
tion before a put-out was registered.
Harold Moneys debut as a pinch
hitter was somewhat OF a hasco.
when the big fellow made three fu-
tile dents in the ozone with his club.
When Carson slammed a clean
bingle off Watkins in the second
spasm It looked like the local star
was going to maintain the clean
batting record he garnered against
Chesapeake. Winters, however.
famed him on his next two visits
TO the plate.
Roland Reynolds seems to at

stopped carson's fast ones with some
part Of his anatomy.
The Townsend fans gave their
team royal support About 1900
journeyed TO Middietown for the
game.
Without the services OF Hoch
brothers and George Winters, the
! Townsend gang would not have been

runs for the boobtown.
