Headache, belching, biliousness, bloat, drowsiness after eating and other symptoms of constipation can be readily relieved by the use of a simple laxativo compound sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mr. J. II. Bristol. 1412 Geddcs Ave., Ann Arlw> *?

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a mild laxative preparation, positive in its effect, acting easily and naturally without griping or other pain He Sounds A Warning. Stewart Edward White, one of the outstanding figures in the ^ world of letters, has sounded a note of warning to the United States in regard to preparedness. He has written what he calls a typical letter from an average redblooded citizen of the republic to his member of congress. The letter follows: "To My Congressman. "Dear Sir:?And this does not mean alone you who were electd in the district of California where I reside and vote. In the matter of post offices and pork barrels, perhaps; but in affairs of national import you from Maine and Oregon are my congressmen also. You are responsible to me; you represent me: and the hundred million of men look to each one of you to do your duty by me no matter where you come from or where I live. "And because you are responsible to me, you must listen to me. In no other way is in possible for us to come into touch. I do not know you personally; I do not vote for you. My newspapers do not reach you fully; you do not quite believe in newspapers, though they have their influence. Only when I, and that w proportion of the hundred million of me who will take the trouble, write to you direct do you feel the pressure of my de sure, ao you come in vital touch with Public Opinion. "Only occasionally does Public Opinion become strong and practically unanimous. It is so now. It is more voiceless than usual because it is very deep, and *hen we Americans feel and think deeply we do not talk about it. We wait grimly to see what will happen. This is a pitv. but it is largely your fault. We have lost confidence in you. We believe you will talk, and wrangle and stray into side issties; that you will filibuster and waste time, and finally at the very last will rush through some sort of an unsatisfactory compromise. That is your usual method. "But this is serious. We have made up our minds.

"We know that our navy is weak in spite of padded statistics weak in ships, in guns, in muni, y tions, in men, and especially in y destroyers, submarines and hydro-aeroplanes. Some of us know that it is weak in leader- w ship. "We know that our army is units. We know it is unequipped ^ ' - wim proper artillery, that it "" lacks aeroplanes and every other .k necessity of modern warfare. "We know that we have neiter er ammunition or munition J,J plants.

The Woman Who Lived. Thret years ago last summer woman, paralyzed from the sck down, dictated a letter to a ty newspaper asking that "the egislature of her state pass a w allowing herself and others lffering as much to be put to snth to end their misery." Her case had been declared apeless by eminent physicians, he was a young woman with noling to look forward to but Bars upon years of the death i life she was undergoing. This year on Thanksgiving ay. she sat up in bed, able to love the upper part of her body, id with hope for further imrovement. She expects to be alking in another year or two. rogress will be slow, but after ine years of helplessness, two r three years devoted to re>very seems a small matter. The first thing this woman did hen she began to grow well as to call up the physicians ho had declared her case hope ss and beg of them never again ) tell a patient there was no ope. So long as we have apparently opeless sufferers on our hands, ) long will every effort be made ? discover cures for hitherto icurable conditions. They are a our to medical research. And to say that a case is injrable because none like it has Ben cured before reminds one little of that patent office clerk ho in 1833 resigned his job beause, since everything had been lvented, he left sure the patent ffice was destined to go out of ristence very soon. It doesn't pay to sit back and ly "This cannot be done betuse it never has been done." iscoverers in all lines have just Bgun to scratch the surface of Liman possibility and it can jver be said that life is not orth living, because it has been sstricted and circumscribed by lin and suffering.

K Believes in Printer's Ink. li Campaigning for office is becoming a science. Men long have realized that publicity is the th lone thing needful, and devious ways are pursued to get the ^ a fore staid commodity. Some men ( have learned that their public ^ | records are so distasteful to the j newspapers that they could not get publicity through the ordi ' nary channels, so they pursue a; i course once new and useful, but n< i now becoming too thinly (lis- h< guised. The course these men ai x m pursue is to "cuss out" the ai 'newspapers. This fashion was hl , set some 25 years ago and has had quite a vogue among men l, who could not get anywhere upon character and ability alone. D j "Get your name into the newspapers" has been the slogan. "If they won't boost you, make 'em roast you, but get the publicity." That is the secret of the Statewide and State around campaign bi tour?to get the newspapers to fo go to a lot of expense and trouble publishing accounts of political w meetings so that candidates may 1 get free publicity. "Oh, but it is til news and the people should have til the news." Mebbe so. From what hi we know of the newspaper read b? ing public, we think that they le are hunting for something else. 3C If the newspapers of South Carolina would give the "no no- J tice" treatment to all politicians, _ there would be a better class of, politics in South Carolina. All of which lqpds up to a direct application of the statement; that one reason that the newspapers of this State are poor is 1 because they have a commodity 1 to sell and they have been giving 1 it away. That commodity is space | We admit that the newspaper; should give the news and should i publish the truth and should give every man a square deal. But it is not a square deal to the people who support a newspaper, nor is it fair to the newspaper itself to permit the columns to be ridden to death by politicians who get space for which merchants and other advertisers would pay thousands of dollars. One man in this State realizes this fact, and that man is VV. F. Stevenson of Cheraw, candidate for congress. Mr Stevenson is spectacular, he is a man who by nature attracts attention, yet he proposes to pay his way in the newspaper columns. He has even now stated his campaign of advertising and uses the columns of every paper in his district, paying the ~ rate charged by the newspaper. "And I haven't found a hogI among the publishers," is his statement. Mr. Stevenson be1'eves that advertising mys an l he r?*o^O"es to show his faith j ?Columbia Feeord. jnvikor;?t?nv to t'.e Pule and SIcUv Tiiff' ! <i id ; s-a! MFcU ltn'iiiii% >i< *' : - i .f i?
