C.—“For nine years I suffered from backache, weakness, and irregularities I so I could hardly do j my work. I tried ; many remedies but, found no permanent relief. After taking Lydia E. Pink- ... ** ham’s Vegetable Tsp - 11 Compound I felt a great change for Ilh'W-’j: V-L. I the better and am ■ ■ ' x now well and strong so I have no trouble p--- ■ y> in doing my work. I hope every user of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will get as great relief as I did from its use.”—Mrs. S. D. McAbee, 122 Dewey Ave., Spartanburg, S. C. . .

DEWARE OF SPECULATORS. Shippers of Grain and Hay Advised to Be On Outlook for Speculators. * Shippers of groin, hay and feed arc' advised by the Bureau of Markets. United States Department of Agri!culture, to be on the lookout for what, is known as “shipper's order bill cf, lading” transactions with unknown ors irresponsible persons. Shipping ar. lots to such buyers under no obllga- ' tion other than to pay for the shipment if they finally take it out ot the car-:, tends to encourage speculation and is liable to increase freight congestion. Some of these buyers order J products shipped tn the hope that price will go up in the meantime and ( enable them to sell locally to a local ( dealer who will ray cash. Unless they , succeed in celling to others, many of ] these “shipper’s order" consignees ] [have insufficient canital to pay for the j ( goods, which som fall back in j. the shipper. I - In a case recently invc d by h the department a man withoht fin:it>c-|| lai standing, who posed as a comm’rj, ' eial company, succeeded in purch-is-|] ' ing large shipments of hay and r. ill ’ < ]feed. As there was no advance 'nJ I price and as he had no cash v. th. i [which to meet the drafts, he held he 1 * goods for several weeks in the cars.i ion the track. Some of the cars were ! ]on the track for over 20 days before ’ ■ unloading. When he succeeded in sell- j ! ing a car. instead .of paying his o" - n |' cash for it. he sent his customer to; the bank to release the draft. The day j' the department investigator was on i < the ground this man had 13 cars of hay and 9 cars of mill feed on the track, ' papers for 17 more care en route, and a number more still to be shipped, it was stated locally that in the same } kind of transaction in the past a se- f vere decline in price rendered this in- < dividual unable to pay''for 30 cars cf produce, which the shipner was forced I to self at a material loss. The shippers in this case easily could have obtained facts as to their customer's re- { sponsibllity from the mercantile agencies or from local banks or mer- _ chants. a OVER $1,000,000 NEEDED FOR ARMY CHAPLAINS. I 'United Vrcs Service"! Washington. D. C., Sept. 13 —(Special to Daily Democrat)—lt was < learned today that the war department plans to ask congress’s permis- ' sicn to employ 51.14fi.000 worth of ' army chaplains for the first 678.000 drafted boys to go to France. That statement is figured on the basis of ; 573 chaplains with the rank of first 1 lieutenants, for the 678.000 men. As first lieutenants each chaplain would , receive $2,000 a year. These chaplains will be chosen not only for their fitness as sky pilots , for the soldier boys, but also on the , basis of their physical ability to withstand the rigors of life at the . front and in the trenches. They must all be democratic and good mfxers. They will be chosen from the ranks of both Catholic and Protestant clergy all over the country. The war department has notified the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America and the Rev. Louis J. O'Hern, representing the Catholics, that congress will be asked to provide one chaplain for every 1.200 men. Formerly one was provided for every regiment, but since the reorganization of America’s armies on the European plan, which increases the size of the regiments, it is contended by the war department that one chaplain cannot care for the spiritual needs of an entire regiment. These chaplains will be 1 regularly enlisted members of the , field forces. They will look after the > physical and spiritual comfort of ■' their men, visit them when they are sick, lead them in prayer before they r go into the t-c-nches and follow them _ into battle when they go “over the top.” o MAY RAISE PRICE OF TITLES TO AMERICAN HEIRESSES. . (United Press Service) Lontion, August 26—iBy Mail)— There’s a strong movement under way in England to make English titles harder to get. There is no disposition, let it be reassuringly said. t to put up the bars against American ! heiresses. So far as can be ascertained. the status quo ante is to be j preserved in that respect, though the ante itself may be raised. Americans may believe that the ] scandal of the English nobility is the manner in which a wealthy Ameri-; can girl may marry a titled English-, man and straightway become a duchess more cr less. But the real, . .-apda! i,s th? manner in which many, j i< glislitnen have obtained their own ijitles. For years there has.been talk , ~i Ute political trading involved and i nov- ‘he bad feeling scorns to . have come to a }iead. Lord Selboj'tiP, with apparently unimpeachable right to his own title, having obtained the support of forty others similarly fortified, it is presumed. has put the matter up to the .iouse vs Lwjds. He has proposed a .

1 little measure to require public an--1 nouucenient of the reasons for all grants of honors and dignities. That Is to say, when the prime minister ] recommends to the king that Bill Jones. Esq., be made Sir Bill Jones. , K. C. 8., he shall publish the fact and the where/or. Since the king , confers practically all such honors on the prime minister’s suggestion.; this, in the opinion of Lord Selborne and his heroic forty followers, should Stop the evil. THE SECOND LIBERTY LOAN. It is contemplated that the second liberty loan compaign will close on tin first of November, next, and that lhe active campaign will begin not later than October 1. The details of the loan cannot be given out until congress has acted upon the bond bill now pending. As soon as the new law has been passed announcement of the details of the loan will be made. Obviously no subscriptions will be received or can be received to the new loan until the congress has acted upon the pending measure and announcement of the issue made. 1 earnestly hope that all liberty loan committees already existing will perfect their organizations immediately and get themselves in readiness for the next liberty loan campaign, and that new organizations will be effected wherever possible throughout the country for furthering this great service to the nation. As in the previous loan, the general direction of the campaign in each federal reserve district will be under the supervision of the federal reserve bank of that district as the fiscal agent of the government, ami all liberty loan committees are urged to get in touch with the federal reserve bank of their district and actively engage it) the preliminary work cf preparing for the next campaign.—William G. McAdoo. Secretary of the Treasury. o HARDWARE FOR SOUTHERN EUROPE. Washington, D. C., Sept. 11—The United States has an opportunity tc supplant. Germany in the hardware markets of Italy. Spain and Portugal, according to a report issued by (he Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, Department of Commerce. The publication was prepared under tire direction cf C. W. A. Veditz, Commercial Attache at Paris, who asserts that American hardware can more than compete with German products hi these markets if American manufacturers will make slight alterations in their lines to meet local conditions and will cater to the demands of the trade. An accurate description is given of conditions in each of the countries as to mechanics’ tools, cutlery, agricnl tural implements, garden tools, build era’ hardware, shelf hardware, vehicle hardware, harness and saddlery, pipefitters, cabinet hardware, firearms and ammunition, sporting goods, marine hardware, house furnishing goods electrical supplies, lamps and lanterns abrasive, paints and varnishes, brushes, and masons' and miners’ tools. LEGALLiFAMERICA HAS NO NATIONAL ANTHEM. (United Press Service) Washmglon. Sept. 12—The surprising news was forthcoming from Adjutant General H. P. McCain today that America has no national anthem, hymfi or air by the provisions of any federal law. Army and navy regulations constitute the only authority t >r proclaiming “The Star Spangled Banner” the national air. No federal court of law need recognize it as stuh Army and navy regulations are binding only upon the personnel of the army and navy. “However,” said Gen. McCain, “the custom of rising and remaining standing and uncovered whijc the “Star Spangled Banner” is being played is growing in favor among civilians. “\mong army end navy men it is obligatory. Whenever the national air is played at any place where persons belonging to the military or naval service are present, all officers and enlisted men not in formation are required to stand at.- attention, facing toward the music, excepting when the flag is being lowered at sunset, on which occasion they are required to face toward the flag. “If in civilian dress and uncovered, .they are required to stand and salute 1 at the first ncte or the air. retaining 1 their position of salute until the li t i note of the air is played. If in civilian ' dress and covered, they are required to stand and uncover at the first note of the air. holding the head dress ■ p'posite the left shoulder until the last note is played, except in inclement ■ weather, when the head dress .may be held slightly raised." n MOOSE DANCE ON FRIDAYS. Beginning Friday, Sept. 14th, and every Friday thereafter until farther notified the regular weekly dpiico wiH be given at the Moose hall. Beginners’ dancing class will start at 7:30.

“Onward With God!” Cries Kaiser While Hungry Austria Clamors For Peace Will Russia or Austria be the first to collapse under the hammering of the enemy legions without and the discord of quarreling forces within? Some editors even think the reply to this question will decide the war. While Russia staggers under the loss of Riga, the demoralization of her armies, and the desperate confusion of her internal affairs, Austria recoils before Italy's inexorable offensive and her hungry people clamor for an early peace. If Germany can force Russia into a separate peace, she opens for herself a vast reservoir of desperately needed supplies, doubles the number of men available for her Wester,n battle-lines, and increases tremendously the difficulty of the task to which America is pledged. On the other hand, if Italy brings Austria to her knees. Germany is cut off from Turkey and Bulgaria, her Pan-Germanic dream is shattered and peace with victory is brought immeasurably nearer for the United States and her Allies. The leading article in IHE LITERARY DIGEST for September 15th, shows these two uppermost phases of the war in all its lights.
