J. Roy Adams Making Efforts
to Cure Chronic
Indigestion.

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."

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;

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.

The police sent out extra men tpA

Orders for a general exodus of

announcement by local police
authorities that Villa adherents

petition to IVesident Wilson urging
the immediate removal of Consul Edwards
