Most digesters rely on pepsin'
But pepsin digests albumen only.
1t is but one of the elements need

Starch, fats and phosphates each
require something else.
Then half of digestion is done in
the bowels, and pepsin can't do
that.
1t requires many ingredients to
form a perfect digester, and they
must be in liquid form.
Kodol has all those ingredients.

One teacher in every school should
have a knowledge of the properties
and application of the most useful
antiseptics, and of the principles of
treatment of wounds, istuloe and
certain common skin infections. This
is the more imperative in the rural
schools, some of them many miles
from a surgeon. There should be a
statute requiring every teacher, re-
gardless of whether or not he or
she holds college diplomas, to pass a
prescribed examination indicating
his or her efficiency in the science
and art of simple surgery. This
would not in any way hurt the prac'
tice of the professional surgeons but
would add much to the average life
of man. 1t really seems strange that
we should have been so long neg.
lectful of this matter.

MEETS old COMRADE.

EulLOT OOC N IL IeECORD L IldNC
had a pleasant trip to my birth
place, the City by the Sea. How
the old place has changed since my
boyhood days! had no one to ac-
company me around so I went from
place to place by myself. Of course
it would have been of little interest
TO some of the young people to show
them around from the Battery to
Line street and from the marshes of
the Cooper to the Ashley river, the
places where | went to school, the
different creeks where l went swim
ming, the marshes where l hunted
the marsh hens nest, the place where
the bad boys and myself used to help
ourselves to old Mr. Days sugar
cane without asking for it, rowing
up and down the two roads leading
from King and Meeting streets and
what was called cup the road"
Mr. Editor, very little of my life
was spent in Charleston after was
thirteen years old, but there were
many scenes and trying times
crowded in those few short years of
Poor Conrad's time. Yes, l was all
alone in the dear old City by the
Sea. The name is so appropriate.
I strolled along many of the streets
that were once the outskirts of the
city but now elegantly paved with
handsome buildings on both sides,
street cars whirliug by where few
years ago the sand was several inches
>deep. passed some of the churches
where l went to Sunday school, also
the place where my mother and
father are buried. / took look at
the old Market that was once such
a lively business place but now sad
and graveyard looking place. Did
not even see any of the old buzzards
around-all gone. 1 never fail to
go by the corner of Charlotte and
Elizabeth streets where l had the
hardest fight of my life with an Irish
boy.
l write about good many things
that may seem small to big people
but we were, all of US, children once.
I went over to Sullivan's Island to
see the soldiers encampment. | was
soldier myself once, SO was my
father. He was in the Indian war
In Florida. l met several of my ac-
qualntances from Kingstree. Some
seemed surprised to see me. Some
asked what 1 was doing down there.
They did not seem to know that |
was on my old ground.
I spent two nights with my son.
He is employed by the Southern
Hallway. also had the pleasure Of
visiting the Citadel, and was re.
joiced to meet Col Asbury Coward,
the superintendent, now resigned.
He was quite glad to meet me, al
though it has been 46 years since !
saw him. Colonel Coward is every
inch a soldier. remember him SO
we'll IN Virginia the first two years
Of the war. 1t made me feel so proud
ALWAYS when I was detailed on
brigade guard to be drawn up in
line with the others in front of the
Colonel. He had such fine soldier
like bearing. He was quick-spcken.
When giving a command to the
guard he would not say "Attention
Guard" but "Attention Quad"
not "Shoulder Arms but "Shoulder
Ans" had quite long talk with
him. He was wounded at the battle
of Sharpsburg. as we'll as myself.

THE PUBLIC COAL LANDS

Bad land laws are temptation to
crime. We have had that proved
over and over again.
Congress is very slow about substi-
tuting good land laws for bad land
laws, primarily, it must be believed
because persons influential in con-
trolling legislation and INSCRIPTIONS
in their methods of conforming to
existing law are making more profit
out of the bad laws than they could
make under good laws. They stand
in the position of the holders of spec
ial privileges, with this qualification
that they are privileged directly
by crime
Secretary of the Interior Garfield
again calls attention to the coal lands
of the country in his annual report.
He has had surveys made, so that his
department has more exact know
ledge than ever before of the location
and values of these lands. He points
out that the existing laws for their
disposition are not suited to for
ward development. He appeals to
congress for new legislation and urg-
es that leasing system be estab-
lished, so that the coal can be mined
on scale sufficiently large and yet
the surface can be reserved for 9TH
er uses.
Such legislation is needed. The on
ly opponents are men who hope to
be permitted again some day to profit
by privileged violation of the present
laws. Congress will shame itself if
it does not put the situation at once
on better basis.
