Mrs Aug Doellefeld of Carlyle, 111, recently wrote to I)r Caldwell, at Monticello, 111, that she has used Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin in her home for a number of years, and would not be without it, as with it she has been able to keep her four children in perfect health. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative Herbs wiin pepsin uuu uui? uu me I?owels in an easy, natural way, and regulates the action of this most important function. Nearly all the sickness to which children are subject is traceable to bowel inaction, and a mild, dependable laxative, such as Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin should have a place in every family medicine chest. It is pleasant to the taste end children like it, and take it readily, while it is equally effective for adults. Dr Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty cents a bottle. To avoid imitations INCREASE FOOD SUPPLY. Resolutions of the Soathesstern Food Conference. Editor County Record:? We are taking the liberty of sending you a copy of the proceedings of Southeastern Food conference held here last week on the call of the Chamber of Commerce. It was an exceedingly representative body, including some of the ablest men in this section of the country, and was tremendously in earnest about increasing the food supply. - * ' ? - L. The letters and resolutions emoodied in the proceedings make clear the reasons for this urgency. It is so urgent that Senator Reed of Missouri has presented a resolution asking for a plan for the cultivation of food on Government land by the Governmenf to help out the supply. Planting time is <Jh us, and quick action is necessary to get results. This information has gone to every banker in the Southeast with the request that he confer with local supply merchants and that they use their influence with the farmers energetically to increase the acreage planted in food crops. Our committee requests that you confer with your local banker,supply merchants and other leading men take steps to organize a Committee of Public Safety to meet any emergency and to cooperate with the Gov ernment. The Government has advised us through the Assistant Secretary of Agriculture, Hon Carl Vrooman, who met with the Southeastern Food Conference, that the best thing we can do now to help is to increase the food crops largely and this will be the first duty of your Committee of Safety. We respectfully ask your attention to the proceedings of the Conference and that you give its recommendations as expressed in the resolutions full publicity through the columns of your paper. We would be pleased to receive any suggestions which may occur to you in regard to expediting matters. Yours very truly, W G Cooper, Secretary S E Food Conference. Atlanta, Ga, April 9.

Cotton has about all been planted, or will be this week, and much of the tobacco crop has been transplanted. There is no scarcity of plants. Depredations of the birds have broken the stand of corn so badly in some places that it was necessary to plant over. We have never heard of birds pulling corn up as they have this year. We are glad to see that a number of acres of rice will be planted in this section. Y TX7 U7kif^al/1 nkorlocfnn U1I O If TT I1IV41CIU vi vuu* ivwwvm spent Monday with friends and relatives here.

Here is the story of how a big German U boat of the new type was blown to bits by a German mine while pursuing and shelling a British horse transport off the Irish coast. Henry Jacobson, a recent arrival here, was a petty officer on the Dutch freighter Aspyndjk on her voyage to the other side early last month. "We were rounding the Irish coast," said the petty officer, "and were making for Kirkwall, where we had to report. When about 300 miles from there we sighted a horse transport bound for England. She was about three miles off our port bow, and our glasses showed that she was unarmed. "Suddenly, at about an equal distance from us and the transport, a big U boat emerged. We turned our stern to her and ran away under full steam. Pretty soon, though, we discovered that the horse transport was her prey, and while we ran we watched. The submarine cut through the water at a terrific pace, sending a shell after the transport. "We could see the excitement on the transport's deck, all hands taking to the boats. One boat was lowered and smashed against the side, and the occupants thrown into the sea. Shells were falling about the men in the water and flying over the transport. Suddenly, those of us looking at the U boat, saw a great geyser shoot up into the air. We heard a heavy roar and the U boat plunged clean out of the water, then wen" down head first and disappeared in a whirlpool. It evidently had been blown up by a German mine. "Not a vestige of the submarine was left on the surface. Where a moment before there had been a big U boat disgorging shells at the helpless horse transport, there wasn't even a speck on the ocean. For a few moments we looked in amazement, then gave a great big cheer. The trar.sport was not injured. Whether any of the men were lost from the overturned boat we didn't learn, but there seemed to have been plenty of time to pick them all up. "There seemed to be no doubt that the submarine had hit a mine laid by the Germans.?-Ve?? York World. Two Flags la Washington. Of an illuminated poster distributed by the Southern Railway company, advertising the dates of the general reunion of the United Confederate Veterans, June 4-8, the Stars and Bars is a feature of equal prominence with the Stars and Stripes. Nor will any sensible man object to the presence, in profusion, of the flag of the Southern Confederacy in the capital of the Republic. We suppose a Southern boy would not follow the Stars and Stripes less eagerly in northern France for the wear ing of the flag of his father on his coat lapel?and Colonel Roosevelt expressed the feeling of every American, Northern and Southern, when he said the other day that he would like to hear "Dixie" on the battle lines in Europe. In a word, the Confederate flag testifies to the loyalty of our people to a cause in which they believed and, now that the cause has passed, it remains the emblem of loyalty, of sacrifice, of dauntless courage. The "Star-Spangled Banner" is our flag, it stands for our cause now and the only cause we know, but the other dear old flag is the symbol still of fine,pure virtues that would animate Southern men in the defense of their country. There are bettei citizens and will be better soldiers when the test bomes by reason of the reverence in which they hold it and of the holy memories that cluster around it for their treasuring. The Southern states can oner to the country no better pledge of their devotion to its flag, strange as the paradox may seem, than the affection with which some thousands of men now old and gray will greet another flag of a nation that lives only in memory.? The Sfnte, 4 GREAT VICTORY FOR ALLIES. BRITISH AND FRENCH SMASH THE GERMAN LINES IN FRANCE-ERITISH DEFEAT TURKS. The past ten days 'have witnessed intense activity in the world war. Monday the French troops delivered a violent infantry attack against the Germans in the departments of the Aisne and the Marne over a front of twency-five miles and made important gains, capturing more than 10,000 prisoners and large quantities of war material. The artillery for several months had been actively shelling the entire region, and Monday, while British activity had almost ceased, owing to the heavy rainfall, the French made their successful attack, as given above. The official German report briefly describes the engagement as a great attempt to "break through with a far distant object," possibly meaning that a breach of the German lines here might necessitate the falling back by the Germans along a great part of the front from Lens to Soissons. Tnesday the French continued their onrush, extending their lines |about [fifteen mile9. At that , time the German losses were esti mated at 10U,UU0. To the east in Champagne violent artillery activity continues, probably being the forerunner of an attempt by the French at a drive against the German lines in this no less important region. Up to the time of the heavy rain Monday, the British scored brilliant successes. Within a week they captured 14,000 prisoners, 194 guns and large quantities of war material. In re prisal for the torpedoing of hospital ships,British and French airmen bombarded Freiburg, Germany, with good results. 1 The British have defeated the Turks in Mesopotamia and taken many prisoners. The British tank !steamer Narragansett.one of the largest ever built, was torpedoed and sunk off the Irish coast. A Sumter philanthropist that participated in the "buy a bale" move.ment and bought cotton at 10 cents a pound has sold his holdings at a net profit of $32.
