The externals of health may ho obtained In that way, but the basis of health lies deeper, and yet. is just as easily 'obtained. The most important thing that n woman can do for herself, and about which she is often most neglectful, is to watch the condition of her sto mach and bowels.

Will Abolish interchangeable Mille- j age After May First. ! Tiio railroads of South Carolina have entered into an agreement to abolish interchangeable mileage books after May 1st of this year. Af ter that date each railroad in the State will Issue mileage books good only on Its own lines. The above ls the gist of the fol lowing communication handed The Courier by Supt. J. It. Anderson, of the Blue Ride railroad: To the Public Traveling in South Carolina: Karly tn the year li)08, an arrangement was marte between various railroads having lines In South Carolina and tho authorities of various States in the South, In cluding South Carolina, by which the railroads agreed to put in effect, as of April 1st, 1908, for a trial pe riod, certain forms of mileage trans portation, which may bo generally described as follows: First. Two-thousand-milo book, interchangeable with certain roads, at two cents per mlle, good for heads of firms or employees, not' ex ceeding a total number of (ive, the names to be furnished at the time of the purchase of the mileage hook, and entered thereon. Second. One-thousand-mllc book, likewise interchangeable, at two cents per mile, good only in the hands of the purchaser, whose nnme iib., r'd lie i\/rpia?li d n't tile'1 (Imo n't .ho nurch.i.'>.. ol the boole ntui '-MU- r od( hoi??\ a. Third. Vivc-Lur i - d--tul., hook. goou only io. intrust_ tu-. . South Carolina, ac two and' one fourth cents jier mile, go.d for heads of families and d?pendent members thereof, non-lnterchango ble, the names of the members of the family to be furnished nt tho time of the purchase of tho mileage hook and entered thereon. All of these mileage books, with the exception of tho 500-mllo book, wore interchangeable with a large number of other roads, both in the State of South Carolina and outside of the State, and were sold at. the low rate of two cents per mlle, while the regular passenger fare was two and one-half cents per mile. In view of this very low price, and the fact that the mileage books were made interchangeable with a large number of other roads, each ono of the participating carriers to honor the mileage transportation, notwith standing the fact that tho books might be sold by any one of thc other participating carriers, either within the State of South Carolina or out side, and of the consequent necessity for regulations In order to protect the accounting of the various car riers and their revenues, certain reg ulations were adopted in respect to these mileage books, one of which was thal the coupons should not bo '? d on tho train, but should be god at a ticket ofllco for a covering the proposed journey, the same way that a person . g to pay in cash ?',: his ticket would procure it. There wore many reasons for this, one of them being that In no other way could the ac counting and revenues ol' the car olers he properly protected, lia reg ular ticket ls sold by one carrier for a continuous journey over I he lines of that road and the lines of another connecting carrier, a report ls at once made by tho carrier sollitiK the ticket to tho account lng department of the other partiel pating carrier and a charge Is thereby created nt once against tho carrier selling thc ticket, which must ho paid by ll whether the ticket is over presented or not. If tho coupon from such a ticket, af ter hoing taken up hy the carrier which did not soil the ticket, is lost, the report from tho carrier which ?ld sell the ticket would be author ity for tho collecting from lt of tho amount duo for this service not withstanding the loss of Ibo coupon. On tho other band, when a m He nge book is sold by one carrier, good over the lines of that carrier and m Knew ation of Health T^y _ dioB can be obtained, but the best in the estimation of most women is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup PepBin. It is^ mild, pleasant to tho taste and exaetly suited-to lier needs. It is far supe rior to salts, cathartic pills, waters, etc., which are entirely too violent. Woinen should see to lt that they have at least one movement of tho bowels each day, and when showing anv tendency to constipation should Those opinions are voiced by thou sands of women, after personal ex perience, among 'them Viola Caper, Covington, Ga., and Mrs. E. E. Brewer, Central, S. C. Any one wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it In the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bot tle sent to the home free of charge by simply addressing Dr. W. B. Cald well, 405 Washington street, Monti cello, 111. Ydur name and address on a postal card will do. others, lt is not known at the time of the purchase on what lineB of railroad the coupons will be used, and therefore no report, which would afford a basis of charge, can be made to the auditing offices of the other carrier. Consequently, the only me thod of collecting the revenue due for service' by a carrier which did not sell the book would be the cou pons taken from tho book, and if these be lost the whole or its reve nue would be gone. As these cou pons are easjly lost, tho regulation in question was considered by the carriers as entirely reasonable and as amply justified. Moreover, un less a ticket, as contra-distinguished from a mileage book, wore presented when baggage is checked, no means would ht afforded the carrleivof safe guarding the checking of baggage, as ls required by law, by the route which the traveler would ultimately take and to the proper destination. There, were also other reasons, not necessary bore to be detailed, which were considered hy the carriers ns amply supporting and justifying the regulation as applied io all classes of mileage hooks, whether interchange able or not. Opposition, however, was made to this regulation by certain members of the Associations of Commercial Travelers in South Carolina, and this opposition resulted, nt the last ses sion of the South Carolina Legisla ture, in the adoption of a statute as foliows: "Be It enacted by the Goneral As sembly ci i'?.' Slate pf South Caro lin a : "Soc. i. Tli:'1 tth> railvoud com pany Bolling mil' ;< hooks foi trans portation is nereoy required io re ceive coupe..s from mileage books sold by said railway company on its trains for transpotration within the State, and to chock baggage for pas sengers upon' presentation of said mileage book. "Sec. 2. This act shall go into of- j feet May 1st, 1912." lt will be observed that the re quirements of this statute are sim ply that the railroad selling the book shall receive, on its own trains, for transportation coupons out of books which it sells, and that the statute covers only Intrastate transportation In South Carolina. The fact, that the statute does not attempt to make a requirement that one railroad company shall accept on Its trains coupons from an inter changeable book sold by another railroad, is doubtless duo to a reali zation, inasmuch as those inter changeable mileage books are volun tarily issued by tho railroads, are participated in by many carriers" (about 52 in number), many of which have no lines at all in South Carolina, and inasmuch as the South Carolina lines could not, without a breach of contract with the partici pating lines outside of the State, ac cept coupons from those Interchange able books on their trains, that no statute of South Carolina could ex tend beyond tho limits of tho State to roach these other carriers and control their methods and regula tions.

I Carolina eau control tho regulations adopted in respect to lntcr-state travel, that being a matter entirely under the ultimate control of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The above recital ls made for tho purpose of pointing out, with some precision, tho understanding of the carriers lu respect to the scope ot the South Carolina statute. From this recital it will likewise be seen that lt Is manifestly impossible for carriers having lines in South Caro lina to preservo tho interchangeable feature of tho mileage books and at the same* time accept mileage cou pons from these interchangeable books on their trains, without a breach of their agreement with the other participating carriers outside of South Carolina, and that conse quently, if the interchangeable fea ture or these mileage books is to be preserved in South Carolina at all, they must be restricted to apply to the traille not covered by the State of South Carolina, which, as above stated, embraces only Intrastate travel within that State. While tho carriers operating lines in South Carolina regard the require ments of the statute, evea as applied to intrastate travel, within that State, as invalid, because unreasonable and abridging their right of reasonable and proper management and regula tions, and for other reasons, they have determined not to he actuated or controlled by a controversal spirit, but to put Into effect a system of in trastate mileage books In accordance with the statute of South Carolina, reserving, however, tho right of test ing the validity of the statute by a suit begun in the State courts of South Carolina. The system to be kept In effect, however, until the val idity of the requirement is authori tatively determined. In ihe regulations about to be stat ed, governing the system to bo Inau gurated I?; obedience to the South Carolina statue, lt will be observed that a new 1,000 mile hook is to be sold at exactly the same price and the same rate per mile as thc present Interchangeable 1,000 mile book, but is to be confined to intrastate travel in South Carolina, and ls to be non interchangeable for reasons herein before stated, while the interchange able book, so far as South Carolina is concerned, is to be confined to In terstate travel between points in South Carolina, and points In ochei States. , ' Regulations in respect to this> mat ter, affective May 1st, 1912, will, un i til fnr*'?or ordered bo ?'?j follows: i There will po issued a liejv 1,00( .nib' book; lit ; .vo cents per mlle ,'go'ocl . dy. oil ill o trains nf the rail .

Each railroad taus issuing mileage "ekcts in Sinti Carolina will sell it.ls new form ol 1,000 mile tickets .for its own in dividual line. The existing forms of Interchange able mileage books, (viz., Forms 7. and Z. Z. and S. I. M. and also Pennj Seri)),) being interstate forms o' .insportatlon and Interchangeable cannot be used under regulation! different from those to which all o: the carriers have agreed, without the unanimous concurrence of al the participating carriers, Including those having no lines in South Caro lina, and, therefore, the South Caro lina railroads Issuing mileage books find themselves requP'ed to write lnt< the contract of these Intorchnngenbh mileage hooks, a clause reading a follows: "Coupons from this book will no be accepted on trains, nor on and af ter May 1st, 1912. in exchange fo tickets, for a Journey wholly wlthli the State of South Carolina." This means that all these forms o interchangeable transportation wll be good only for an Interstate join ney and will not bo good for an in traslato journey In South Carolins even when forming, a part of an In terstnte journey.
