The memory of Daniel Boone has
been perpetuated with the knitted cos

MEETING OF PRAYER BAND.
The ladies who compose the prayer
band of the Presbyterian church met
yesterday afternoon with Mrs. George
Duncan at her home on Church
street. Among other things of inter
est the ladies decided to adopt the
minute prayer at noon each day and
it has been suggested that the fire
bell be rung once at the appointed
hour as a signal the prayer to begin,
for, as everybody knows, the prayer is
for the victory of our allied armies
and the safe return of our boys from
France. The movement is meeting
with the approval of Americus people
and will no doubt soon become an
established custom. The meeting was
adjourned after a most earnest and
helpful session.

FRIDAY, AUGUST THIRTEENTH.
Sumter schools have adopted local
taxes for the support of schools al-j
most unanimously, and out of the,
twenty-four districts in the county
only six have not already adopted this
feature. In the Mossy Dell district a I
proposition to impose a local tax for >

there is every indication that the tax
will be adopted almost unanimous- :

RED CROSS PLANS
FULLY EXPLAINED
i tnat the millions of Red Cross
i knitters may know the plans of the
i Red Cross for future knitting, George
E. Scott, acting manager of the nat
ional organization, has issued the fol
lowing statement:
“When the war industries board
some time ago advised the Red Cross
that future production of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced, we
immediately commenced to purchase
I all yarns suitable for our knitting,
i As a result, we have today in stock
or on order l,4((’.,0)0 pounds of yarn
for distrbutica to our chapters. It
is hoped th?.’ we may obtain some ad-
I
. ditional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government use.
“The expected total, however, will
be considerably below the ten million
pounds used last year. While the
total of yarn we can secure is being
determined, we are studdying how
to use our supply to produce only
garments which are most essential.
When a conclusion is reached we will
announce our full program of knit
ting.
“In addition to this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has on hand 1,600,000
sweaters, 134,000 mufflers, 384,000
wristlets, 228,000 helmets, and 1,328,-
000 pairs of socks, —a total of 3,374,-
000 articles. We are hopeful there
fore that these and such additional;
garments as we shall be able to make I
will enable us to meet the most ur-1
gent requirements of our men during
the coming winter. In this connec-,
tion it will be interesting to the wo-,
men who have been knitting to know .
that from September 1, 1917. to June
1, 1918, the Red Cross distributed

Many women prefer pajamas to
nightdresses and others acknowledge
their advantages over the nightdress
but are loth to part company with the
dainty and frilly finishings that pa
jamas lack. For their benefit we have
been furnished, by those who make un
dermuslins their special study, with a
variety of sleeping garments of a new
sort. These include separate trous
ers and coats or jackets and one-piece
garments in which trousers are fas
tened onto a bodice. Besides these
there are full-trousered pajamas worn
under short kimono coats and for all
of them crepe de chine has proved as
practical In every way as muslin. It Is
easily laundered and as filmy and
dainty as batiste.
The figure at the left, in the picture
above, is clad in plain pajamas made
of sateen. They are very like the
garments worn by men and are devel
oped in several cotton fabrics, percale
and outing flannel among them, and in
crepe de chine. Occasionally a print
flowered silk or men's wear silk shirt
ings are made in this model —the lat
ter recommended to withstand wear.
The garment at the right is also
classed among pajamas. Just now,
flesh-colored batiste with narrow Vai
lace and insertions or fine swlss em
broideries used for decorations, is the
favorite cotton fabric for these gar
ments, but In the picture the choice
seems to have fallen on striped dimity.
The full trousers have almost the ef
fect of a narrow skirt and are drawn

Painted Sport Hsts.
Painted sport hats are affected by
the younger girls at some of the sea
side and country places. They are
painted with all sorts of designs, but
perhaps those showing daisies and
popples and the other unsophisticated
flowers that have come in for much
approbation this summer on the part
of fashion, are the smartest. Very ef
fective, too, are those painted with
green and blue designs—peacock feath
ers, for Instance, wound around the
crown (in paint, of course), or pine
needles and cones. With some of these
hats there are bags—lnverted hats,
they are, with silk tops and draw
strings. And with some there are
those little straw cases, one-half of
which slips into the other, decorated
like the hats.
i “At the request of the war indus
tries board, with which the Red Cross
works in close co-operation, we have
I urged chapters and indidvidual work
ers not to buy wool in the open mar-

i through our department of supplies.”

RECIPE RHILED FREE
A veteran business man, who was
almost completely bald and had tried
numerous tonics, lotions, shampoos, etc.,
without benefit, came across, while on
a Journey, an Indians’ recipe by which
he grew a complete crop of healthy,
luxuriant hair that he now possesses.
Others—men and women—have re
ported remarkable hair growth by the
same method. Whoever wishes the re
cipe may obtain it free by writing to
John Hart Brittain, BA-222, Station F,
New York, N. Y. Or obtain a box of
the ointment, Kotalko, made according
to the perfected recipe at the drug
store, ready for use.
« Indians’ Sicret if Hair Growth *
In a vast number of cases, when hair
falls out. the roots are not dead, but remain
imbedded in the scalp, alive, like seeds or
bulbs, needing only fertility. The usual
alkaline shampoos, alcoholized hair tonics,
etc., are of no avail in such cases. Tho
Indians’ ointment nourishes th® hair and
stimulates the growth.
Kotalko fertilizes the scalp and induces
hair growth in every ease possible; won
derful results reported. For men's, women's
and children’s hair.Q If you are bald, or
losing hair, or have dandruff, you should
try Kotalko. It is a pleasure to observe
the starting of new hair and its steady
increase until a prolific growth supersedes
thin hair or baldness. Cut out this notice
show to others who want beautiful hair
The recipe is free. This is genuine.
