Roy Adams Making Efforts to Cure Chronic Indigestion. , 1 a > I Washington, Jan. 14.?J. tioy Adams, clerk of the Senate committee on woman suffrage, has completed twenty-seven days without touching food. Iklr. Adams is not fasting on ac<r?unt of a bet, nor has he, sworn off 1 ood until the women are given the thnDot. In fact, he plans to begin rating again next Sunday morning, when will have gone thirty days without food of any kind. He is fasting bessaase he believes that it will cure him of intestinal indigestion, from which ibe suffered severely before entering Ttrpon his period of fasting. To look at Mr. Adams, you would tltbnk thai he had never fasted a ?lay in his life. He admits, however, 1o having lost eight or nine pounds so far. "I am feeling fine, better than I fttrve felt for months," he said, when Kfftestloned about his fasting. "I believe that i could go down and swim liie K astern branch of the Potomac irivnr tonight if I had to." Works All the Time. This is no idle boast, for 011 Christwas eve a year or two ago Mr. Adams fjlid just that thing, on a bet. ""1 haven't had so much as a crumb trf bread since 1 began my fast," he rw&tmuod. "Every morning I take u large glass of hot water, and that h u? I take during the day. For the firsi feu days I felt a little 'peckish,' bu Unit soon passed, and I believe tha HjLn course of treatment will cure m< of my trouble entirely. Of course ^ihen I begin eating again, I will hav i? careful, and if I find that I ar cured, I'll start on another fast. *4The finest dinner you could set on ^ uuJdn't tempt me to walk across th to get it today. I know that, fl*:n ma go on indefinitely withou f#od, hoover, and that I will have t Itegin eating again some time." Mr. Adams has been constantly s ; E i 'ji . 17 i"1 i ' * County Ti . D.

K-42 )G, Chattanooga: Please ship me the following, ch enclosed find money order for State * y; ERA LP, OOKWAY, S. C. Ithree great ideas are before body Gathered to Make Laws for South Carolina at Session of 1916 ECONOMY AND TAXATION A Bin rnn nnm nni-rir*n hirun rnuniDMiuiM These Three Things Will Occupy the Stage in Legislature This Year. i Economy, prohibition and taxation ' are the three ideas that loom to the front in the opening days of tlie legislative session. At the very first session of the ways and means committee, a resolution was adopted expressing the sense of the committee that the appropriation bill be kept within the two mil; lion dollar mark. This in face of the ! fact that last year's appropriation bill summarized $2,0lb,759.S2, and by j special levies, one mill for pensions and a half a mill for the State Hospit al for the Insane, running the appro priation bill in the aggregate to $2,468,579.82. I The estimates submitted by the va-J rious state institutions and depart-1 ments of government advise the expenditure of three million dollars. The question now will be whether or not the State can do without any portion of these appropriations. One of the j first suggestions is to lop off the hundred and fifty thousand dollars that was spent last year by way of an extra appropriation for the State Hospital for the Insane. The Hospital for the Insane last year cost the State three hundred and ninety-seven thousand dollars plus a hundred and fifty thousand, or an aggregate of four hundred and fifty-1 nine thousand dollars. Last year it will be remembered, the Confederate pension fund was also increased. The committee, of course, is going to have a difficult time to keep the appropriation within the limits that it hopes to. \ State of Prohibition. J There is an earnest desire to make effective the state of prohibition that; . ryow exists in South Carolina. How lo better enforce the law is to be thei problem, and that is today the uppermost issue.. Tt may, of ironrse, be overshadowed by more important yroblems.. Mr. Liles haa already introduced his bill making it a chaining offense to be convicted of violating the prohibition law.. Mr. IJIes if? willing to provide a mtrumum of fifteen days on the chain gang, but Jte does not want to allow an alternative of paying fines. Then there ifc another proposition to repeal the g^illon-a-month law,, in- that way to legally have prohibition, and not to allow any liquor to legally be brought into- the State. Tiifl'O ionin'r fKo t-r?r?c f nf_ fort to provide machinery for the enforcement of the law and that means constables or detectives who are to i operate in the counties that are more or less indifferent to the enforcement of the prohibition Taw. One contention is, that this should be a statewide fund and to be raised by direct taxation, as proposed by the bill presented today. Another view is, that the counties that are sincerely undertaking to enforce the prohibition law should not be taxed to pay the constables in counties where officers and people are not inclined to do their duty. This sentiment may lead to some plan by which the Governor or someother official shall have the right to> impose a tax sufficient to pay far the constables in the recalcitrant counties. Another plan that is suggested is, that !>0 cents be changed on every gallon of liquor brought into the state under the gallon-a-month | law, and that this 50 cents per gallon be collected by the express or railroad companies and lie deposited for use in the enforcement of the prohibition law. Stock in Dispensaries. Another problem in connection with the late dispensary law is what to do with the liquor that is left over. Dorchester, Bamberg, Williamsburg, and Florence counties disposed of all of the liquor that they had on hand, but the other counties that had dispensaries were not so successful. Charleston and Richland are reported to each have over $30,000 stock on hand. Calhoun has $8,000 and other coun; U i\ pj limn! 'I i Jin ' 'ijai, -J.J i. j i ui?P Healthy Old Brin Simple Remedy Promotes Health by Overcoming Tendency to Constipation. Advancing years impair the action of the vital organs. Old age should be the period of greatest happiness, but good health is necessary. Constipation should not be tolerated?it is often the direct cause of ill health. Headache, belching, biliousness, bloat, drowsiness after eating and oth or symptoms of constipation can be readily relieved by the use of a simple laxative compound sold in drug' stores 1 under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mr. J. H. Bristol, 1412 Geddes, Ave., Ann Arbor, Mich., who is 83 year* old, says "Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the best remedy T ever used for constipation and 1 al! ways have a bottle of it in the house to use when I feci the need of it; it never disappoints. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a ' mild laxative preparation, positive in its ofleet, acting easily and naturally I without griping or other pain or dis' ties sufficient to run the agro.gate up to between one hundred and seventy ' and two hundred thousand dollars. Some counted that the county boards should have disposed of this liquor, and that they hail plenty of time in 1 which to dispose of it if they had not | bought new supplies. Others contend that these stocks i represent the profits and the counties i should not be denied this profit. Some want the state to- grant a week or ten days in which to sell ,the surplus stock locally. Others contend that if the stock is sold at all it must be sold outside the state, in wet territory Some urge that the liquor should be poured into the gutters, the statej naving adopted a prohibition policy..! Some think that it can bo soli! topublic institutions, charitable organizations that buy liquors. There are so many conflicting views upon this subject, that unless those really interested get together it is possible that the liquor wilf be left over for another year, without anything beinif done, as to its disposal. o NOTICE.

Orders for a general exodus of mining company employes in Chihuahua and Durango; protests against the United States; the arrest of two leaders of the former Villa organization; announcement by local police authorities that Villa adherents would Ik? driven out of El Paso and a petition to IVesident Wilson urging the immediate removal of Consul Edwards at Juarez, for alleged indifference to American interests in Mexico, indicated the intense feeling in El ^ Paso towards the situation in Mexico.
