produces typical cases Of staggers.
The extract of such corn is rapidly
fatal to rabbits.
Aspergillus favus, Aspergillus niger
and Rhizopus nigricans (molds) have
been found abundantly on the corn
only in localities which lose horses
from staggers.
Corn containing any molds should be
thoroughly cleaned or 'ioated" before
feeding.
Mixing corn with bran and oats
seems to lessen the danger.
Treatment to be effective must be
begun early.
During the course of investigations
it was found that in some localities
cases which were reported as staggers
were in reality typical cases of para
sitism produced in horses by the pail

vessels, the error arising from the SIM

The observations have not been suf-

called cornstalk disease. The latter is
the name popularity applied to many
disorders of the digestive tract in cat

The non-nitrogenous elements are
divided into fats, carbohydrates. (sug

In other words, we must find in our
food the same elements that enter
into the composition of the body.
The folly of trying to live on any
one particular kind of food will be ap-
parent to any one who familiariZes
himself with the constitution Of the

What Is Digestion?
Digestion is the process of trans
forming food elements into substances
that can be absorbed into the blood
through the walls of the digestive
tract. If the digestive functions are

causes irritation and finally, by it's de-
composition, poisoning.

But digestion does not begin in the
stomach. The saliva contains a very
important engine, ptyalin. which con-

bles, bread, pastry, potatoes. ETC., will

not advised. The act of chewing

If the attention is directed too closely

functions are retarded. Count your

Summary.
Good teeth, natural or artificial, are
more necessary than knives and forks.
Eat slowly, chew starchy foods thor
oughly, eat meat once day, water
in moderation at meals, freely between
meals, less meat and sweets and more
vegetables at middle life. Do not wor-
~ about your food: do not eat when
very tired; do not exercise just after
eating. A mixed diet is best unless dis
ease calls for special diet; avoid
strange. weird diet fads; more muscu-
lar work calls for more food, espe-
cially fats and sYxars: less muscular
work. less food; Moderate eating for

KINGSTREE-THE GATEWAY
TO OPPORTUNITY.
THURSDAY, DEC, 1911.
Blease's Pardons.

Before the South Carolina constl-
tuition was amended in 1895 a ver-
dict of guilty of murder with rec
ommendation to mercy subjected the
convict to the death sentence. The
Judge was compelled by law to con-
denim the felon to be hanged. The
recommendation of the jury could
have weight only with the Governor
and while it usually brought about
cornmutation to imprisonment for
life, that consequence did not follow
as of course. There are probably
cases of record, long ago, in which
the prisoner was executed notwith-
standing the recommendation.
The makers of the constitution of
1895. when they gave to the recon-
nendation the effect of reducing the
penalty to life imprisonment, did not
change the law of murder. Now'as
before that time, a man is guilty OF
murder in South Carolina only when
he has taken the life of a human be-
ing with malice aforethought-not
Elm sudden heat and passion" or by
criminal carelessness. There are no
degrees of murder in this State and
the recommendations of the jury for
mercy means no more than that in
the jury's opinion the murder was
attended by some extenuatlng CIR
cumstance. The wide distinction
which the law makes between wll1ui
and malicious murder and man.
slaughter remains untouched.
Yesterday the Governor of South
Carolina "paroled during good be-
havior" four men who had been
convicted of murder. They had
served an aggregate of 80 years-or
an average of less than ten years
each. A verdict of guilty of MUIR
der, with recommendation to mercy
means, of course. that the jury be-
lieves the accused almost worthy OF
death Had the juries foreseen that
these men would be released after
ten years, would a recommendation
have accompanied the verdicts?
The Governor also paroled yester'
dav four men convicted of man
slauphter and sentenced to an aggre
gate of 273 years imprisonment
They had served an aggregate OF Il
wears, He granted full pardon te
another convicted about two year:
AGO. with recommendation TO mercy
of that crime he openly condone'
lynching as punishment.
We shall not criticise the Governor
for his wholesale indulgence in exec
utive clemency. 1t will doubtless be
appIauded bv his friends

President to Ask
Congress to Decide
Upon Panama Tolls
Colonel Goethals' Present Trip North
Believed Largely to Emphasize
Early Action by Nation.

WASHINGTON, June u-(Special Tele-
gram.) -Before the present extra session of
congress ends unless plans are changed,
President Taft will ask for definite action
in the matter of fixing the rate of tolls
to be charged for passage through the
Panama canal.
This information comes from a good
source. Thep resident took up the subject,
following the arrival in Washington two
days ago of Colonel Cocktails, chairman of
the Isthmian Canal commission. One reason
alone, Colonel Goethals has pointed out to
the president, calls for the fixing and an
nouncement Of the rate before the end of
June. In Liverpool this month is held an
annual convention of the shipping interests
Of the world. This international association
of shippers appealed to the United States
last year for information as to tolls and
other details of the government of the
canal.
According to statements made by Colonel
Goethals to the president, this inability on
our part to announce the rates will eventu-
ally cost us in loss of business through the
water way not less than 100000 1t is
to avoid an even greater loss, says Colonel
Cocktails, Of congress failing again to give
Liverpool this information, that he has
come up from the isthmus and spent every
moment of the time the president could
give him in the White House-and 1t is
known he has completely won the presi-
dent TO his way Of thinking
