BILIOUS, HEADACHY,
SICK 'CASCARETS"
Gently cleanse your liver and
sluggish bowels while
you sleep.
Get a 10-cent box.

Sick headache. biliousness. dizzi-
ness, coated tongue. foul taste and foul

bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
Poisonous matter clogged in the In

stomach, remove the sour, undigested
food and foul gases, take the excess
bile from the liver and carry out all

poisons in the bowels.

from your druggist means your head
clear, stomach sweet and your liver
and bowels regular for months. ADV.

Protection Laws.

The Dingley Law was a frank ex-
preston of protection. and it sue
ceeded beyond the most sangulne ex-

The Underwood law, fashioned in

fosters high cost of living. has failed,
and, as Mr.. Wilson would say,
knocked that contention into a
cooked hat.

SWEDEN.

Another note from Sweden has been
addressed to the state department in
Washington, through Minister Eben-
gren. appealing to the United States
for cooperation with the Swedish gov
eminent and other neutral nations to
maintain navigation. Following is the
text of the note: "Of late the Brit
ISL authorities have violated the mail
traffic. Parcel post from one neutral
country to another is being unloaded
in British ports and the contents are
being seized While parcel post is
not protected through The Hague
postal convention, it nevertheless
seems to his majesty's government
that the British procedure, in the form
ard extensiveness practiced, would he
invalid in regard to even ordinary
express goods, and that this seems
Of parcel post is directed against a
means of conveyance under guarantee
of sovereign powers. Besides, great
personal inconvenience is connected
with seizure of this kind. However,
England's present practice of censor
ing also frst-class mail, sent by neu-
trail vessels from one neutral country
to another. is even a greater violation
of the rights accorded neutral powers
by the rules of international law The
royal government therefore now APP
peals to the government of the United
States for cooperation for the pur-
pose of seeking to bring about a dis
continuation of the violations of in
ternational law, at least so far as the
same concerns first-class mails" The
United States will not take final &C
ton on the note from Sweden until

The dearth of men in England is
proving the opportunity of swedes
and Norwegians skilled in the use
of tools to improve their financial
condition. Not week is now passing
without several hundred of Swedens
ambitious young men, who have
learned trades, going to Great Britain
and Immediately obtaining work at
wages very much higher than they
have ever received. So large has this
exodus become that II has affected the
labor market in the Scandinavian
peninsula. and the newspapers In
Stockholm are telling of the dis
quieting conditions" facing employers
there. The Dagens Nyheter states
that about 100 worklnen emigrated
from Sweden alone within six weeks.
The greater number % these are tram
way conductors and workmen in the
metal industry. A ommittee has been
appointed ii Stockholm with the OBJ
iect of endeavoring to persuade the
men to remain in their own country.
and = scheme for the improvement OF
their circumstances is being consid-
cred. The press in Sweden and Nor
way insist that the government should
take immediate action to prevent re-
cruiting by agents, and an appeal has
been made to labor organizations to
give their wholehearted support TO

are two good early varieties of to-
matoes.
In blowing the young orchard,
work as close up to the trees as pos

Do not attempt the pruning of

RAILWAY AGENT
FEELS SAFE AGAIN
BEN. F. NEWMAN, SOUTHERN'S
FREIGHT AGENT AT COLUM-
BIA, TELLS OF CHANGES.

Seldom do men of prominence in
business and commercial life willing
ly express their Indebtedness to a
proprietary medicine, but when a
preparation attains that singular
purity, uniformity and efficiency that
is shown by Tanlac, endorsements
from the best known citizens my be
considered as fully measuring up to
the good that is being accomplished.
Ben. F. Newman, the big, jovial
Southern Railway freight agent at
Columbia, man whose present high
position assures he has been true to
every trust reposed in him, is one of
the widely known men of Columbia,
who has given praise to Tanlac. Mr..
Newman has long and excellent re-
cord in the service Of the Southern.
He held the important position of
freight agent at Columbus, Ga, be-
fore he was promoted to the position
he now holds. With the men under
his supervision, he is prime favor
ite, because of his fine business abil-
ity, excellent judgment and open
hearted disposition.
When he was interviewed at his
Office 800 Gervais St., regarding the
relief Tanlac had brought him, Mr..
Newman said: 81 am delighted with
Tanlac. It has brought me the re-
lief have sought for years.
During the past eight or ten
years my system has been in such a
run down condition that I was pecu-
liarly liable to take cold. These
colds would sometimes continue two
or three weeks and would be quickly
followed by another. Cold frequent
ly would settle in my limbs, back
and shoulders, causing me intense
pain of a neuralgaic nature. Dur
ing several winters I have worn plas-
ters on my back almost all the time.
At times I was forced to arise at
night and bathe my limbs in strong
liniment to relieve the ache. Even
in the summer months was greatly
troubled with colds, which my system
seemed unable to throw off. When
had cold I felt miserable and as
if I were about to fall to pieces.
81 began taking Tanlac and took
five bottles before stopped. Now l

Tanlac I would catch a fresh cold
every pay day, when went into the
cold pay car, and would feel terribly
for a week or more. Last week
when I paid off employees no i'll ef-
fects came from the exposure, and
the day was very cold.
