BRITISH CABINET IN A SPLIT
OVER CONSUMPTION

London, Dec. 25.-British cabinet
faced gravest internal crisis of war
when it met shortly before noon to-
day, with conscription issue to be de-
cided.
1t was current rumor that several
ministers would resign, possibly be-
fore the day was over, unless the
government agreed on some form of
compulsory service. David Lloyd
George, according to one report,
threatened to quit last night.
On the other hand, it was reported
in many quarters that Premier As
quith and possibly Sir Edward Grey
would leave the cabinet if the con-
scription advocates won today's bat
tie. In that case it appeared certain
that Lloyd-George would be elevated
to the premiership of a new minis
try. The issue, it was generally be-
ieved, will be decided today.

Hon. Joseph Brown, Former Cover

Dear Sir: A large per cent Of the
population of Georgia, white as we'll
as black, is illiterate. In fact, Geor-
gia shares with two or three other
States of the South the disgraceful
distinction of having the largest per
cent of illiterates, white iliiterates,
of any of the States of the Union,
and, according to the University Club,
of Atlanta, white illiteracy has in
creased in ffty-one counties of Geor-
gia in the past five years. 1t is safe
to say that no other State equals this
disgraceful record. The cause Of this
shameful condition of illiteracy in
Georgia is not far to seek. 1t is due
to a lack Of support Of common
schools For example, while Nebras-
ka spends $7.18 per capita Of popula-
ton in support of common schools,
Oregon $3.50, California $3.50, and
other Northern States approximately
as much, Georgia spends only S1.89,
or say only one-third to one-fifth ae
much as the States named. (See New
York World Almanac for 1915, page
626.)
It has we'll been said that Georgia,
like Mexico, has always been long on
Statesmen" (sic) and illiterates and
short on school teachers.
With a knowledge, therefore, of the
general illiteracy and medieval con-
ditions that have long existed in
Georgia, and which do not appear
to be improving, one is not surprised
to learn that an Ex-Governor Of Geor-
gia born and raised in the State and
handicapped by such surroundings
and associations, would appear before
the pardoning power Of his State and
demand the blood of a fellow citizen.
Such an appearance would be un-
speakably indecent on the part of an
Ex-Governor, even though the guilt
of the prisoner was an undisputed
and conceded fact. How much more
indecent. when grave doubt exists in
the minds of many as to the guilt Of
the prison

Indigestion May Be
 Due 10 Constipation
Neglect Of Important Function May Seriously Impair
 The Health

There are many people who believe they suffer from indigestion when their discomfort really is due to a constipated condition.
 BIoat with it's attendant mental de- pression, sick headache, the belching of sour stomach gases, etc, are fre- quently due to inaction of the bowels Relieve the congestion and the trou- ble usually disappears The use of eathartics and purgatives should be avoided, however; these shock the system unnecessarily and, at best, their effect is but temporary. A mild laxative is far preferable.
 The compound of simple laxative herbs known as pr. CaldWells Syrup Pepsin and sold in drug stores fer fifty cents a bottle, is highly recom- mended. MT. Benj. Bassin, 360 Madi- son St, Gary. Ind.. thinks pr. Gala wells Syrup Pepsin wonderful med- icine; for four years he had a severe case of indigestion and constipation before trying pr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin. which he is glad to recom- mend to all who suffer with stomach and bowel trouble.
