An explosion followed singeing off his. eyebrows and causing other, though not serious injury. Dr. Ad ams attended him.

On last Tuesday afternoon about 3 o'clock a cyclone passed through the neighborhood of Pleasant Ridge, uprooting full-grown trees and frightening the citizens of that lo cality very much indeed. The cyclone was traveling in a north easternly direction and Mr. R. X. Holland who was present says that it is his opinion that it was travel ing at the rate of about 60 miles an hour. Fully 75 or 100 trees were blown down on Mr. J. M. Falls' place and a window in Mr. George Falls' store house was completely demol ished, and things looked pretty squal ly for a few moments. One strange feature of the matter is that but few trees fell in the direc tion that the cyclone was traveling. The storm only lasted two min utes and passed so quickly that one old citizen did not get scared until it was over, when be made a frantic effort to get in a cellar. On the Move.

Notwithstanding the amusing state ments one reads In tbe newspapers by some people trying to foist manu factured articles on a 'Confiding pubt lie. Ironlzed Paw-Paw stands out' boldly with" a ' dependable record oft nearly a quarter of a century, it is not a "cure-all" but prepared sini ply for what -we claim and no more. Thousands upon thousands of letters containing the warmest praise reach our headquarters and while we do. not believe in promiscuous publish ing of testimonials we occasionally feel compelled to give one as fol lows: Mr. A. F. Melster, an upholsterer by trade, living at 2211 Wheat St., Columbia, S. C, says: "I suffered from indigestion, liver troubles and constipation so that I could not eat nor sleep after any fashion. I saw your ironlzed Paw-Paw advertised in the newspapers, but was 'at first somewhat skeptical, having tried so luauy iejdy-a.ade medicines; howev er, 1 obtained a bottle and used It ac cording to directions, 1 tablespoon ful half an hour before meals, and in a few days before using up the first bottle I felt so much better that I wish to congratulate you on having such a splendid remedy. 1 am sleep ing well again and my indigestion has disappeared. I need not tell you I shall continue the treatment which has made me feel so much better."

That perisha ble vegetables and fruits dried by the latest approved method " come back" 'when soaked in water over night has been amply demonstrated by C. D. Matthews, Experimental Horticulturist, in experiments con ducted in connection with the forces of the home demonstration service. Mr. Matthews had a local tinner to construct an evaporator and has dri ed beets, squash, beans, tomatoes, spinach, corn and other vegetables. Later these vegetables have been soaked and brought back to so near their original form that It would re quire an expert to tell the difference. The secret of the new process or drying lies In driving away the mois ture quickly. Comparatively few vegetables can be dried in the sun because they decompose before all the moisture is driven away, even those which may be dried in the sun lose much of their flavor and have more or less of a "hay" taste. The new methods give an entirely dif ferent product. The drying may be done n home-made evaporators, In ovens as above or cook stoves. The bulletin on drying with full direc tions may be secured merely by ask ing for it. The new methods of conserving food stuffs are so successful and the product is so acceptable that food experts are of the opinion that in the future a very considerable part of the Irish potato and sweet potato crops may be saved through this means. The food situation during the com ing winter will probably be even more serious than it has been up to this date and all farmers and those town people who have sarden space available are being urged to not only conserve the products which tiiey have already raised, but to continue their planting and their canning and drying.

We don't remember whether in the days of peace Armour & Co. was one of Mr. Roosevelt's "bad trusts" or "good trusts," but if. J. Ogden Ar mour means what he says In this day of national peril Armour & Co. and the heads of the corporation are 100 per cent patriotic. Mr. Armour returned to Chicago last week from a conference in tae East, says a Chicago dispatch, ana when asked by some one what he thought of the "situation said: "I'll tell you what I think of it. The government of the United States ran have Armour and company. "The government of the United States can have J. Ogden Armour. "The government of the United States can have any one man or any group of men of Armour and compa ny. "There will be no requests for ex emptions. "As a nation and as free men we have staked all and we shall win or lose all. "That's what I think about the 'situation.' " ' That just about covers the ground of patriotism; that is Americanism without any frills or hyphens. In truth "as a nation and as free men we have staked all and we shall win or lose all." And that applies not only to J. Ogden Armour and to Ar mour and company but to every Am erican citizen and to every American business and industry. It is reported from England that a new discovery has been made for the extraction of nitrates from the air, and that a plant is to be erected at Manchester for the manufacture of nitrogenous products from this nitrogen.
