If you hit your thumb
with a hammer you
wouldn't blame your
thumb for hurting.
Then why blame your
husband whose nerves
may have been pounded
by coffee, and whose rest
probably has been broken
by the irritation Of the
caffeine it contains?
If you stay awake half
the night you don't feel
any too cheerful.
The caffeine of coffee
and the them of tea are
known drugs. If their use
is persisted in, sooner or
later the nervous system
may give way.
Then you may have
insomnia, or disturbed
sleep. Your nerves and
tissues will be robbed of
that stability essential for
normal and happy living.

fine hogs in the permium list of the
South Carolina state fair, which will
be held October 24-2S.
The total of the premiums, cxclu-
sive of the premiums offered members

finest swine seen at any Of the fairs.

s4G0. For Berkshires, open competi-
ton, $500; Poland China, open COM

Guernseys, Holstein-Friesian, Ayre-
shire, Red Polied, Devon, Short Horn,
Hereford and Aberdeen-Angus.
The sheep and goat department al
So offers some valuable prizes as does
the horse department.
South Carolinians are much inter
ested in cattle and swine production
at the present time, the inroads of the
boil weevil having served to drive
home to farmers the fact that cotton
must be looked to merely as a side
crop for few years at least. Interest
in cattle and swine production has
been growing steadily over the state
during the past several years, and the
indications are that the displays of
fine stock this year will be especial,
ly full and complete.
Good Midway Attractions
While there will be excellent dis
plays of fine stock and farm prod
ucts at the state fair, the amusement
feature has not been lost sight of, and
an aggregation of 80 shows will hold
sway on the midway.
The midway attractions will be
provided by the c. . Worthan COM
pany, and Aare said to be the best
that have yet held forth at the state
fair.
There are many riding and amuse-
ment devices in the aggregation, ma
ny of which are new to this section,
so that there will be no lack of whole
some fun during the fair.
Some real automobile racing is
promised by Secretary Efird and the
horse racing toe will be interesting.
uto polo will have it's inning and Will
likely attract much attention.
The admission to the fair grounds
this year will be rs cents instead of
81 as was the, case last year and the
officials are anticipating good crowds
during South Carolina's gala week.

SILESIA QUESTION
HAS BEEN PUT OFF
Action on Disposal of Rich Re-
gions Postponed for Sev-
eral Months.
tey The AssoeIatea rreaa.l

PARIS, Aug. 12-The disposition of
the rich regions of Upper Silesia, which
has disturbed the peace of mind of
Europe since the signing Of the treaty
of Versailles is postponed for several
months by the action of the inter
allied supreme council today in re-
auesting the council Of the league Of
nations to study the subject and ad-
wise upon the fixing Of line separat-
ing Germany from Poland.
The text Of the resolution asking the
council of the league of nations to aid
in settling the question was drawn
so as to avoid the appearance Of arbi-
tration, which is not provided in the
treaty of Versailles. The resolution
follows:
'~The supreme council. before render
ing its decision upon the Upper Silesia
frontier between Germany and Poland
conformable with Article 50 of the
Treaty of Versailles, decides, pur-
suant to Article II, paragraph two of
the covenant of the league of nations,
10 submit to the council of the league
of nations the difficulties attending
the fixing Of the frontier and to in
vite the recommendation of the coun-
ell as to the line that the principal
allied and associated powers should
lay down.
.aThe council of the league of na-
tions is requested to regard the matter
as one of great urgency, in view Of
the situation in Upper Silesia."
The resolution was so drawn that
the council of the league may. not de-
eide the question at issue, but David
Lloyd George and Aristide BRAND, re-
spectively, the British and French
preniers, pledged themselves in the
supreme council meeting today to ac-
cept the advice Of the league Of na-
tions.

promise to become provost of the institu-

well he, Mr.. Weeks added, that should
the university authorities consent to the
change in plans. General Wood would, re-
main only a year in the islands, then
como home TO take up his deferred work

Pennsylvania had taken up the matter
with the university authorities and that
an early favorable reply was expected.
The officer would remain on the active
list OF the army on detached service, Mr..
Weeks added. and receive the pay OF
governor general during his service in
that capacity.

PRESIDENT IS NOT
TO OBEADELECATE
Has Designated Secretary of
State Hughes to Head the
American Delegation
(Ry Tho Assoe,ated Press,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Any ex-
pectation that President Harding will
himself act as delegate to the dis
armament conference was overthrown
today by a White House announces
ment that he had definitely designat-
cd Secretary Hughes of the state de-
partment, to head the American dele
CATION.
1t was said that other members were
yet to be chosen, although the presi-
dent is known to have narrowed con-
siderably the list of those he consid-
ers available and may reach the point
of other definite selections in the very
near future. He is understood to have
decided that at least one of the places
and the choice Of woman as a mem
Der of the delegation still is within
the range of possibility.
The exact role to be played by the
president never has been officially de-
fined, but the general expectation Is
that after delivering the opening ad-
dress of the conference on November
IL, he win remain in the background
of the negotiations, leaving direct con-
tact with the foreign commissioners to
his accredited representatives but at
the same time keeping in close touch
with them and with all the proceed
ings OF the conference
President .Harding's close advisers
are said to feel that by keeping away
from details of the disarmament dis
cussions he can reserve his efforts
for the more important features and
be so placed as to act as mediator for
all the delegates In any disagreement
that might threateng the success of the
conference.
Not only has the. president placed
Mr.. Hughes at the head of the Amerf-
can delegation but he also has turned
over to the state department the task
of clearing away all the details re-
naming to be disposed of beSore the
conference meets. It is understood
that the chief executive intends to
supervise only the more important
moves and has encouraged the depart
ment to work out lesser problems on
its own responsibility.

Large Sums of Much Needed Government Funds Are Being Eaten

The attorney general told the presi-
dent and department heads that large
sums of much needed government
funds were being eaten up in storage
house rentals and policing expenses
to keep liquor that the government
did not want. An even greater eco
nomic waste would result from pour
ing the seized spirits into the sewer,
and it was suggested that a way might
be found to extract the alcohol for COM
mercia1 purposes or to turn the liquor
itself to some legitimate use. The
law says how it is to be "confiscat-
ed'' but doesn't say how to dispose
of It.
