Accident at Crossing. Spartanburg, Feb. 2G.-Mrs. Janie Itivers Twitclhell, wife of A. H. Twit ehell, president of the Glendale and Clifton oiils, lies perhaps fatally in iureic at her home on Pine street, and Glenn Brown, her negro chauffeur, Is in an unconsicous state at the city hospital as a result of an accident at Union street crossing of the Southern railway this morning when Southern passenger train No. 9 from Columbia struck AIs.

L. .1. Blake, her phy silian, late this afternoon issued the following statement: "Mrs. Twitchell Is In a very serious condiion. ier left ankle is broken aind she has concussion of the brain and Spine." Eye witnesses of the accident say the car and the train were moving in the sante direction, both coming into the city, and that apparently neither ilie engineer of the train nor the driver of the automobile saw the other 'ntl ii the collision came. Between I'nion street and the tracks of the Fouthern at this point there are a number of oil tanks and buildings that. cut off the view and as the wind was high and blowing in the opposite direction, the supposition is that no sound of the approaching train reach ed the oceipanits of the car. .\lrs. Twitclhell had been to visit a seamstress on Union street and was rturnilug to the city where she was to meet .\lr. T1witchell, who waited for hlt at his office. News of the accident spread over the city rapidly and was quickly com muiniacted to .\r. Twitchell, who, with physielans and friends, hurried to the scene. They arrived before Mrs. Tiwitchel had been removed from the wreckwage, a8nd( removed her- to the residence on flne street. Prior to her marriage to Mir. Twit (hell, about. ten years ago, Airs.

Increao in Size of Bore Would Bring Extension of Fire Zone. Washington, Feb. 26.--xperiment al long range firing by the Atlantic fleet and inforination about naval bat tles in the Eiuropean war virtually have convinced the navy departnient that battleships to be authorized this year should carry ten 16 inch guns each in stead of the 12 1-1-inch weapons aboard ships of the Pennsylvania and the California class now building. De tails of gunnery are confidential, but it became known tonight that the next target practice of the fleet would be held at ranges uip to 88,000 yards be cause of the lessons taught by the bat tie between (ernian and British bat tlecruisers in the North Sea, where 17, 000 yard shots scored hits. The navy general board recommend ed so1e tinme ago that new battleships be signed for the 16-inch rifles and proposed other military characteristics that inhde it necessary to increase the tonnage froni :2,000 for the Califor nia class to 36,000. Officials of tlie board have urged their views upon the naval committee in connection with the pending appropriation bill, al though the 1917 building prograinme is not yet before the coltmittee. Many officers of high rank, however, have considered it unwise to mount the bigger guns or build the bigger ships. Secretary Daniels, it is said, however, is about convinced of the desirability of the bigger sillp project. An order for the first kite balloon to be added to the navy's aerial fleet has been placed, it was learned today, and this latest device to Increase the aecurracy of gunlilire may be tested drring the spring target practice. It Is proposed that each battleship he eqiuipped withi a captive kite balloon, which will rise 1,000 feet above her decks. The oflicers observing le fall of shots now stationed in the fighting tops 150 feet above leeks will be stationed in the balloon basket, coatii nicating with the ship by tole phone. 'i'lie navy's biggest guns now have a range of 12 sea iiles or mtore, and this probably will be increased mater ially with ltie new 16-inch. iefore the cotinnittee recently Admiral Winslow said lie had seen weather conditions in which ships were plainly visible al ;0,000 yards, or la miles. It probabl. was due, lie said to a miirage; but. if he had had guns of sutllcient range h< thought lie could have guaged his shots so as to make a bonbardment effective GIRLS!

You can't cure catarrh by greasing your nose. Take S. S. S. regularly and you will drive catarrhal poisons out of your blood. The membranes will soon recover and no longer con tinue to accumulate the mucous that gathers and thickens into catarrh. . S. S. stimulates the cells of the tis sues to select from the blood their own essential nutriment. Rapid recovery from catarrhal inflatation in the stom ach, kidney, bladder and all mem branes is the result. MALARIA. Throughout the country, wherever malaria abounds, are happy, joyful people to whom S. S. S. has given won derful help in the treatment of mala ria after the most sickening torture imaginable. The gaunt complexion of malaria's victims, the chills and fever, the ma larial dysentery that seems to defy all other treatment, the malarial leg, the enlarged liver, the persistent anemia where the blood turns to water and the system wastes away. These are the conditions that S. S. S. so effectu ally asissts in overcoming, by helping to restore the blood to its natural vigor. STUBBORN SORES Sometimes a sore spot becomes indo lent. 'The tissues surrounding it lose tone and are unable to provide suffi cient nutriment to stop the drain. It is then chronic. Just saturate your blood with S. S. S. This is quickly accomplished as S. S. S. is naturmiiry assimilated the same as milk or iny other healthful liquid. Nature acts with marvelous rapidity when given the proper assistance, and S. S. S. so stimulates cellular activity that the parts surrounding an ulcer se lect from the blood the materials that make new tissue. Thus the sore spot rapidly heals in a natural way. iLocal applications for any skin dis ease will afford protection from with.

POISONED BLOOD, So many difierent things contribute to poison the blood and the effect is so startling that the sufferer becomes panic-stricken and is led to use harm ful drugs. It you have any blood trou ble, got a bottle of S. S. S. and take according to directions. Don't take anything else. Poisoned blood is bad enough without ruining your bones, joints, teeth an'd vitals with minerals. S. S. S. so stimulates cellular activity that they reject all poisonous influences and select only those materials in the blood that make healthy tissue. This is why its assist ance toward recovery is so noticeable and at times remarkable. S. S. S. Ns welcome to the weakest stomach and is assimilated just as readily as the most nutritious food. It has helped to cure a host of sufferers. RH EUMATISM. In any form of rheumatism give the blood a good effectual cleansing with S. S. S. Use thN'4 remedy for three days and take a hot salt water bath to open the pores. This relieves the lungs and kidnevs and assists S. S. S. to utilize the skin as the principal avenue of eliminatjon. Avoid salts, calomel and other dras tic pui'rgatives, as they absorb the mols titrei from the walls and membranes of .the intestines, weaken the muscular 'action, produce chronic constipation and thus stagnate the system with rheumatic poisons. Get a bottle of S. S. S. at any drug store. Don't take a substitute. S. S. S. Is purely vegetable and is prepared only by the Swift Specific Co., 271 Swift Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.
