possible, throw everything into riuch a
state of anarchy and chaos that the
trouble will spread into Italy, France,
and Portugal, if not into England and
Ireland.

Journal here deals with the. problem.
There can no longer be the aliffhust
doubt, he says, that since the fignjtture
of the armistice the Germans in Spain
have completely reorganized then

tice. their agent* were engaged in the
more or lees military business of espion
age, torpedoing*, plots against war work
factories, agitations in Morocco and pro
paganda calculated to dlacouragi the
friends of the Allies Since the armist
ice, they have directed their effort - *
along social lines with the object of
bringing about a Bolshevik regime to
replace the present one

Colledge Declares Thrift
Great Christian Virtue
Florence. S. C.—Delegates to the South
Garolina Sundav school convention were
told todav by Dr W A. Golledge, vice
director of the savings division of the
treasury, that thrift was a Christian vir
tue.
"Of the 38 parables expounded bv Testis
t'brlst,' he said. “16 strongly empha
sized ft man’s relation to his money.
"Few men and women realize that 85
per cent of the Americans are living from
day to day with nothing betwe.en them
and actual poverty but the daily wages.
Ninety per cent of the men in the United
Staten over 60 years of age are partly
or wholly living on friends, relatives or
public charity.
“The whole campaign of thrift springs
from a religious motive. Christ taught
thrift in the parable of the loaves and
fishes In the wise and foolish virgins,
he taught the folly of individual waste
In the Old Testament. Joseph is shown
aa an example of thrift, storing the grain
in prepaarflon for a future emergency.**
In h'-half of the treasury department.
Dr Colledge said he hoped that war

end of the train was a car of black pow

trolley wire broke and fell Sparks ig

an explosion that sent the bodies of men
flying In all directions Flames caused
the greftter loss of life, many of the
bodies being burned to a crisp. Other
men who were burned and were trying
to reach safety died of suffocation.
When rescuers reached the tunnel
there were dead and dying scattered ev

pitals as quickly as ambulances could b
provided and tho dead wore brought out
and placed in tiers on the green.
Hospitals and morgues were quickly
filled
Identification of the bodies is almost
Impossible. Many of them are charred
beyond recognition The limbs of some,
the heads of others are missing. At
9:30 a. m. It was said between seventv

The death list is rapidly growing as
the bodies are removed from the mine,

Injured lived but a short time Hun

Women fainted, men lost their nerve and
children ran away In fright The bodies

The death list was made large by the

the new system. If it works, it will be
applied throughout France.
The government is expected to lend
Its cordial upport in harmony with the
general policy of France now to offer
premiums for an increase in the birth
rate to make up for the losses of the
war.
Under M. Autrand's system the old plan
of a uniform increase In salary to all
employes will be abandoned to a plan
whereby the increase is based on the
cost of maintaining the family of each
employe under present living conditions.
The more babies a man can muster the
larger will be his increase in salary.

the dying and the injured were heard

THE HUN •‘HOME GUARDS”
With tho American Army of Occupa

has become so acute a problem in vari
ous parts of unoccupied Germany that
the Prussian government has attempt
ed to meet the situation with regula

to information reaching American intel
ligence officers. Numerous Home Guard
companies from time to time have turn
ed out to be Spart&cist nests, when dis
orders developed, but on the other hand
Home Guard’s serving only on call are
easy to recruit, and are sorely needed
in every community because of the half
Spartacist and half-robber bands which
have appeared almost everywhere.
New Regulations for the Home Guards
provide that they shall be under the sup
ervision of the local district and town
authorities, wit h the cooperation of the
Workmen’s Councils and the Farmers’
councils. War veterans must be ob
tained so far as possible A pledge to
the republican form of government and
loyalty to authority must be taken. Of

Diphtheria Left Her With
Catarrh of the Throat
After Years of Suffering, this
Lady Sought and Found Re
lief in PE-RU-NA, the
Great Catarrh
Remedy.
While there is
nothing unusual in
the. experience of Miss
LfOuise Bruecker of
132 C East Twelfth
St., East Oakland,
Cal., her letter cannot
help but be an inspi
ration to every suf
fer from catarrh.
This is what she
says: “Diphtheria left me with ca
tarrh of the throat. After years of
suffering and disappointment, I gave
up hope until I heard of PE-RU-NA.
I tried it. Followed instructions and
have had no catarrh since. Now. we
always keep PE-RU-NA and MAN-
A.LIN in the house.”
It is not necessary for s any one to
go on year after year suffering with
catarrh in any form. PE-RU-NA is
just as effective for catarrh of the
stomach, bowels, liver and other or
gans as it is for coughs, colds and
catarrh of the nose and throat. It is
by regulating the digestion and aid
ing elimination that PE-RU-NA in
sures a rich supply of pure blood and
nourishment carried to the mu
cous linings everywhere. By keeping
the mucous membranes healthy, the
body is better able to rvpe; disease and
ward off such troubles as the Crip and
Spanish Flu. PE-RU-NA is of extra
ordinary value in rebuilding the body
to normal health and strength.
