submitted to the Legislature to-day.
The report says that tanners operat-

Healthy Baby is
Precious Blessing
TO Make 1T HEALTHY AND
KEEP IT HEALTHY USE A RE-
LIABLE BABY LAXATIVE.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent atten-
ton to diet, babies and children will
become constipated, and it is fact
that constipation and indigestion
have wrecked many a young life. To
start with a good digestive appara-
tus is to start life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a l~aXative-tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tilons. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those who
are already convinced Of its merits
buy the dollar size.
Its mildness makes it the ideal
medicine for children, and it is also
very pleasant to the taste. 1t Is sure
in its effect and genuinely harmless.
Very little Of 1t is required and it's
frequent use does not cause 1t to lose
its effect, as Is the case with so many
other remedies.
Thousands a testify to it's merits
in constipation, indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, ETC., among
them reliable people like Mrs. NJ.
Johnson, 752 DAYTON street, Keno

Dorothy Johnson who was always in
delicate health until her mother gave
her DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Mrs.

The semi-annual meeting Of the

We took in the Corn Exposition
the grandest opportunity to get a

Every State in the Union had an ex-
hibit, not corn alone, but the lead

1918. Every one wanting the work
can apply to me and their applica-
ton will be carefully considered.

OF the Delay
Aiken, Feb. I2.-At 3.4J O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon the case against
Hugh Long, member from Aiken
county to the lower house Of the
South Carolina Legislature, was call
ed in the Court Of General Sessions.
Long is charged with numbering
Pickens N. Gunter, bank president,
and a cousin of Solicitor Robert l..
Gunter, prosecuting attorney for the
State in the late famous Beach case.
The homicide occurred on the 28th of
last September in the little town of
Wagner, in Aiken county.
The case was first called immedi-
ately after the noon recess, but the
defendant and counsel had not ar
rived in the court room, and during
the succeeding interim the Common
wealth's attorney had sentences pass
ed upon q number of defendants
pleading guilty to minor offenses.
The defendant was ar object Of
much interest when, with his lower
lip twitching n~ervously, he came in
and seated himself, taking a hurried
survey Of the crowded court room
and closely s~crutinizing the prose-
cutting attorneys, as they, with heads
close together, conferred upon the
case
An immense crowd had fled into
the court to hear the case, every seat
being occupied an hour before it was
called, and a very perceptible, clearly
audible sigh of disappointment swept
the house as the presiding Judge,
Hon. T. Fl. Spain, after hearing argu-
ments pro and con on the continu-
ance of the case, ruled in favor of
the defendant and postponed his
trial until the next term of General
Sessions Court.
Mr.. Longs attorneys, Col. G. r..
sawyer and l.. 70. and T. G.. Croft,
based their motion for a continuance
upon a number OF contentious, most
prominent among which was an afi-
davit to the effect that the defend
ants wife, a very material witness,
was i'll in North Carolina and her re-
moval to Aiken would imperil her
life.
The prosecuting attorneys, Col. d.
8. Henderson and Solicitor Robert L..
Gunter, opposing each other as coun-
sci for the defense and prosecution,
respectively, in the famous Beach
case, just finished, and Herbert e.
Gyles, mayor of Aiken, stubbornly
opposed the motion, declaring that
the interest OF the public will be
~subserved by a speedy trial of the
case"

TAFT TO TEST DEMOCRATS
Army Nominations Will Deter
mine Their Good Faith.
fFroIh The Tribune Bureau. ]

Washington. Feb. 1j.-By the appoint
ment of Colonies Hunter Liggett and
James Parker to the vacancies IN the
grade of brigadier general. President Taft
has sauarely presented to the Democrats
of the Senate the question whether they
will confirm even the army nominations
before the expiration Of the present Con-
gress.
The fate of three appointments to this
grade is now in the hands of the Senate.
The nomination of Colonel c. \. Devol tn
be brigadier general in the quartermas-
ter corps already has been favorably re-
ported by the subcommittee. but there rs
some opposition 10 the appointment. In
the cases Of Colonel Liggett and Colonel
Parker no apparent reasons for antago-
nism exist Both are officers of the line.
Colonel T.iggett is attached to the inian-
try arm and Is now on duty at the war
College Colonel Parker is OF the llth
Cavalry. Each has an excellent recorn
and is. entitled TO recognition.
n the Democrats oppose these nomina-
lions it will be solely for fiibusterng, as
no charges of favoritism or lack or SER
vice in the line can apply. II is the pur-
nose of the Democrats to permit army
promotions TO go through during the
closing DAYS of the session but the COM
nlexities. of the legislative situation In
the upper house are such that these plans
might miscarry.

ARMY SERVICE 3 YEARS
AGAIN IN GERMANY
France Will Be Virtually Forced
to Follow Suit as Purely
Defensive Measure.
by Gable to The Tribune I

Paris, Feb. 15.-The declaration OF
the German Imperial Chancellor that il
was intended to increase to coo. 600
men the peace establishment of the
army. and probably TO abandon the
tWo-year term of sci ice for the bulk
OF the army a ID return to the three
year system. is causing profound emo
tion in France. This radical departure
is regarded as the last effort that can
be made in the direction of increasing
the nations fighting strength on land.
1T is not felt 10 be a threat TO France
or even menace TO peace. but simply
as measure deemed by German mill
tary experts as rendered necessary by
Germany's geographical situation and
historical precedents.
Meanwhile. II is considered certain
that the French government. maintain
ing always its absolutely pacific inten-
tons in so far as is consistent with
national dignity. will also speedily
adopt measures giving greater strength
TO its army in corresponding degree.
1t is by no means improbable that
besides increased ornaments IA return
in the special arms of the service will
be made TO the system OF three years
compulsory service with the colors. Ii
is believed in military circles here that
the real motive for the step of vital i'm
portance about to be made by Germany
is the enormous and rapid increase
made recently by the Russian army,
which is to-day formidab BILE enough 10
hold in check simultaneous attacks
from Both Germany and Austria Hun
