Seventeen Million Over Last Year. - London, March 17.-A variant on the naval holiday suggestion was pro ducgd by \Vinston Spencer Church hill, fir.st lord of the aduirality, in the house of Commons today. In introduc ing the naval estimates for 1914-15, amounting to $257,750,000, ho said: "Every delay, accidental or deliber ate, by the next strongest Power to idngland, will be matched by us." Admitting that the naval estimates were the largest that had ever been submitted to the Ilouse, Mr. Cittreh hill swallowed the pill by inaking the suggestion that in the ahsence of any new deiaiture the estmateCs for 1915-1 16 woulI he substantially lover thin the pres(nt on which; show an in crease (1 of ll.. a,00 ove ( I;4oset of' lust yl' r.

These straws indicate the sen timent of the voters of the great Pied mont section of South Carolina-They tell a story- when studied. The main interest in politics today centered in John Gary E~vans, attor ney of Spartanbiurg, former governor of South Carolina and several times candidate for the United States sen ate.

Ii rlym is a beloved ma IIIS simple rule of health is <auly called attention to by every doctor in the land, whose first question to the patient almost invariably is, "Are your bowels regular?" Yet there's not one person in fifty who takes proper care of the bowels. And the result of this foolish neglect is nine-tenths of all ill-health. If today you are unable to free your body of waste matter at the usual time, or if the act causes straining, pains and discomfort, don't let that condition occur again tomorrow. Unless your bowels can carry away the. waste materials left after food is digested, decay sets in, the poisons of which, taken up by the blood, increase the risk of Typhoid Fever, Appendicitis, and many other serious diseases. In treating constipation, there is a right way and a wrong way. The wrong way is to take harsh purga tives which even though they (1o clear the bowels, cause griping and nausea, injure the delicate tissues, and so disturb the normal functions as to cause the return of constipation. The right way is to help Nature to produce natural movement, without pain or discomfort, by using MA o re -a gentle laxaive In the form! of a chiocolate--i asting tr ablet.
