When people realize the injurious effects of coffee and the better health that a change to Postum can bring, they are usually glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of ethers. "My mother, since her early child hood, was an inveterate coffee drink or, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak-all-over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making a visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the mer chants of the place. I noticed a some *what unusual -flavor .of the 'coffee' and asked him concerning it. Ho re plied that it was Postum. "I was so pleased with it that I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well that we discontinued 'coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had been very anxious concern ing my mother's condition, but we ,noticed that a~fter, using Postum for a short time she felt much better, had little trouble with her heart, and no sick stomach; that thle hleadaches -were not so frequent,,.and her general condition much improved.

A LAW ENFORCEMENT FUND Ways and Means Committee Reports Favorably Bill Appropi'ating $50, 000 to Enforce Prohibition. Columbia. Further evidence of a determina tion on the part of the majority in the house of representatives to make hard the way of the drunkard and of the transgressor against prohibition has developed. After lively debate the lower branch refused to recommit the sen ate bill, brought over from last year, making drunkenness on the highway a misdemeanor in itself. Thereafter the bill passed its third reading and was enrolled for ratification, being the first measure to reach that stake dur ing the'current session. The ways and means committee re turned a favorable report on the bill of Messrs. Crum, Sellers and Wagnon to appropriate $50,000 for the enforce ment of the prohibition and gallon a month laws of South Cai'olina. Without debate the house passed to third reading Mr. Arnold's bill re quiring textile manufactories to pro vide water coolers and to enforce the use of individual drinking cups in connection therewith.' Violation of the measure calls for a fine of $25 to $300, the money to go to the public schools of the district. Enforcement of .he law is devolved upon the com missioner of agriculture. The house offered ' the use of the hal to the University of South Caro lina for the annual Founders' day ex ercises, which will be held January 27. On a division vote the speaker was instructed to invite Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, to addresse the lower branch on night of Jabuary 20. Other invitations to attend addresses were accepted. The general assembly, on invita tion of Gov. Manning, -visited the State Hospital for the Insane. where many improvements have been made as a result of the increased appro priation given in 1915. Mr. Belser of Sumter moved that Senator Beanmguard's bill relating to disorderly conduct, which passed sec ond reading in the house be recom mitted to the judiciary committee from which it received an unanimous ly unfavorable report. Mr. Belser maintained that it was too binding 'in that any overzealous policeman may arrest any person for taking just a few drinks of liquor. J. W. Boyd pointed out that ob scenity and disorder are punishable under other statutes. Ile claimed that the people of the state do not want simple drunkenness made a crime. He. said that the state ah-eady has laws sufficient for the proper handling of drunken people. Mr. Frombarg said that' he was against those "narrow minded bills at tempting to enchroach up)on the har-i less personal liberties of a man." He said that the bill had dangerous ten dencies. Mr. Dixon of Fairfield called atten tioni to the unfairness of the bill in that any person, apparently drunk, may be arrested and proven a crimi nal. He -brought up the expense of giving the accused a jury trial. Mr. Dew, in favoring the bill, said that he sawv in the n~easure a means of protecting the people of the coun try in like manner to the ordinances prevailing in the state'g municipali ties. Mr. Bickett, sh'owing the "mem ber's the errors of their ways" in pass ing the bill, read th~e existing statutes on drunkenness and disorderly con duct. The Beaufort representative discoursed on the varying categories and degrees of drunkenness. He pro posed the question, "When is a man drunk?" showving the multiplicity of definitions. He called up)on the legis lators to protect rather than p~unish the "man wvho can not refuse." Mr. Zimmerman called attention to the unfairness of the proposed legis lation and asked that the bill be0 kcilled. .Drunken Man a Menace. J. T. Liles apoke in favor' of the bill, saying that there is nothing in the arugument that a man with a few drinks in him will be arrested un'der thie proposed~ statute. He asked for a deofiuition of the line of demarca tion between oderly and disorderly conduct of a drunken man. Ho called the drunken man za "menace ta out' women and children while onth public highway." Mr. Massey said that arguments for and against the bill itself are tidicu Ious. He moved the previous ques tion on which Mrt. Gradford demanded the yeas and nays. Bill Passes.. By a vote of 55 to 52 the houte refused to recommit the bill to the judiciary committee. The house then voted on the passage of the bill, re sulting in 61 yeas and 52 nays. The bill wvas or'dered enrolled for ratifica Lion,.the first of the 1916 sessioni.

Membeirs of the board are: R.1 B. Scarborough,- Conway; S. C. Baker, M. D., Sumster; Christie Benet, Columbia; B. W. Segars, Oswego, and J. E. Sirrine, Greenville. "No great retorrirvs brought about by a. single effort,' says the board. "Reforms are generally the result of years of persistent - agitation; and what we shall attempt to point out as improvements under the present ad ministration are but the fulfillment of purposes and plans that have been in the making for'several years. We would not disparage the efforts of any single individual or give undue credit to any one person." The board says that practically all of the recommen dations made by Dr. A. P. Herring, Gov. Manning's expert, were made by Dr. J. W. Babcock, former superinten dent of the institution. Concerning the visit by the board pt several of the larger hospitals of the country the board says: "In all the institutions we visited, we found that, as far as possible, all patients are allowed to engage in some form of work, and that occupation of some kind is considered of greater effelency in treating patients than drugs." The board says that the occupational treatment has been introduced at the hospital by Superintendent Williams with splendid results. Discussing the improvements on the buildings the board says that the ends sought were: safety, health and comfort and proper facilities for ad ministering to the mental and physi cal needs of the patients in every way. The board says that no new policy with regard to the admission of pati ents has been adopted by the admin istartion. Session Will Run Forty Days. House and senate leaders said that no serious attempt would be made te secure adjournment of the general as sembly by February 10. The session will continue 40 days, it was said. The results of the first few days would indicate that this is going tc be a working session. The ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate are holding joint ses sions daily and the claims of the do partments and institutions are being disposed of at a rapid pace. J. T Liles, chairman of the ways and means c( mnittee, said that every ef fort would be made to send the ap propriation bill to the house at the earliest pbssible moment. Reports from the committee wou< indicate that the members are tryInF to follow as closely as possible tlh terms of the resolution to hold dow1 the appropriations to $2,000,000.

Governor Manning in a special mes sage to the legislature announcec that he had vetoed the act, passed a the last session, to prohibit non-resi dents from operating automobil< trucks in the countes of Aiken, Clar endon and York counties, withou procuring an annual license. I"The constitution provides," sai( Goev. Manning in this message, "undei article 3, section 34, subdivision 9 that wvhere a general law can be madc applicable, no special law shall b( enacted. This is reason enough for veto; but, in addition, the bill is, in m3 judgment, discriminatory against cit izens of other counties of the state, ai wvell as those from other states. "I am constrained, therefore, to re turn the bill without my signature An effort will be miade to enact a geni oral law on this subject at this ses sion." Suffrage issue Gets Start.

GAI6ENS FO ILL 807dOL Pupits Un dertak w F6dure With Z6al and interest-'lax Levy Is Advocated. Columbia.-George D.' Brownl; Jr., stato superintendeht' of mill 'schools, gave the first week of the new year to th6 anhools of Union couitty. In his work there he encouraged the peo pie tg employ additional teachers to relieve the crowded condition of the schools, to apply the compulsory fea ture of the public school law so that the children out of school may be taught and to vote an extra school tax for better schools facilities. He said the Arkwright mill 'school in Spartanburg county had voted a four mill tax without a dissenting voice, the vote being 53 to 0. Just now Mr. Brown is elated over the work that is being done to the Mollohon will school district in New berry, where 46 pupils in the ad vanced grades are working special garden plots under the immediate su-, pervision of -the public school teach era. This training is properly cor related with the class room work, and' the English exercise is based direct. ly on the garden cultivation, the stu. dents being required to suminarizo their results in regular class ear vises. In commenting on this feat. ure, Mr. Brown, said: "Forty-six children of advanced grades in the Mollohon mill school have plot 10 by 22 feet pach,'planted in garden peas, onions, sweet p6as, radish, cabbage, lettuce and mustard. Three times- each week. the children, under the. supervision of the teacher and with t.e assistance of Ernest An derson, superintendent of the Now berry schools. *work the garddn. This, takes the place of the class room work. Results of the work are. written for the lesson in English, which is much better than using some deep and dry subject. The children go home and work the home garden as direct ed at school in working the school garden. The children -are interested in the work, so much so that they are anxious to work when the earth is too wet. They come to school in order to work in the garden. Many of the mills have such gardens and I believe most of the teachers would take to the work if they and had knowledge of gardening." Find Skeleton In York. York-While hunting on Springstein farm near Rock Hill a party of young white men made a very gruesome dis covery when one of them stumbled over the skeleton of a human being. The young men returned to their homes where they secured assisitance and again visited the scene. The Rock Hill officials and the coroner of York county were then notified and they made an examination, discovering that the skeleton was that of a man and a few remnants of clothing were also discovered. Physicians who ex amined the skeleton said that it had evidently been in its position for some thing like six months. Other physi clans who examined the remains said that the skelton was evidently that of a very old man. Major Moore Retires.
