be, that we offer to furnish the med

1t is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartlc
drugs. lAxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause reaction,
irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chro
mic. Besides their use becomes a ha-
bit that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves and muscles of the
large intestine or descending colon.
To expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen
these organs and restore them to
healthier activity.

pie of our remedy involved the labor

Forests and Streams

The relation of forests and stream
flow, one of the questions involved in
consideration of the Weeks forestry
bill, was discussed at length last
week by Willis L. Moore, chief of the
weather bureau, at a hearing before
the house committee on agriculture
of which Congressman Frank Plum.
ley is a member. Mr. Moore devoted
most of his time to defending the the
DRY advanced in his recent report TO
the committee that forests have no
particular relation to stream flow,
floods, precipitatiQns or climate The
committee was much interested in
what Mr.. Moore said and according
to a Washington associated press dis
patch, several members, especially
Representative Plumley of Vermont,
closely cross examined the witness.
AT the conclusion of the hearing Mr.
Plumley was quoted as saying:
Although Prof Moores theory
was vigorously assailed at the hear
ing on the Weeks bill last week
there seems to be comparatively lit
tie difference between the views of
experts on both sides. Prof Moore in
sists that no amount of forestation
will prevent an extraordinary large
food. | think the forestry advocates
will agree with nim on this point, but
we believe that the ordinary food
such as occurs several times annually
on each stream, would to a great ex-
tent be controlled If the watershed
of the stream were forested.-North-

ed by one half of the fertilizer tax
which now goes to Clemson College,
it is said that this is one Of the most
important bills now before our Leg
islature and will be almost sure to
pass at the next session Of the Leg
islature for its champions are among
some OF the strongest men of tie
house. Mr.. Edwards was strong sup
porter of the $60C00 appropriation
for common schools.
He stood for every measure that
had for its end the Improvement of
the roads and upbAilding OF Lexing-
ton County's best interests. Another
bill which should oe mentioned here
and which he supported was the use
OF the convict's which may be nee
