This Simple Laxative
A Household Necessity
DR. CaldwelPS Syrup PepSiD Should
Have a Place In Every Home.

| Constitution, or inaction of the
bowels, a condition that nearly ev-
eryone experiences with more or
less frequency, is the direct cause OF
much disease. When the bowels
become clogged with refuse from the
stomach, foul gases and poisons are
generated, and unless the conges-
ton is quickly relieved the system
becomes weakened and most sus-
ceptible to attack.
Various remedies to relieve con-
stipation are prescribed, but many
of these contain cathartic or pur-
gative agents that are harsh and
violent in their action and shock the
system. The most effective remedy
is the combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin that is sold
in drug stores under the name OF
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
The Hon John D keister OF Bran
dywine, w Va, who has represent
ed his district in the State Legisla-
ture for six years, writes that ne
used DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln
and finds it a splendid laxative,
easy to take and mild, yet positive
in its action, and that it should be
in every household for use when
needed.
DR. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is sold
BY druggists in all parts OF the Uni
ted States and costs only fifty cents

DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL EVENT.
Mrs. Jno. ID. Britton Entertains'.
Enaaaement Announced.

Mrs John D Britton delightfully."-
entertained a number of friends at
her home on Ashton avenue Friday
afternoon from 4:30 to 500 o'clock.
Upon the arrival of the guests a slo-
gan contest was engaged in. The
first prize, a dainty handmade lace
handkerchief, was awarded to Mrs }
Percy Hutson, sister of the hostess.
Misses Ada Brockington and Emma
Cooper tied for the consolation
prize, set of lingerie clasps, Miss
Cooper being the winner. The invi-
tations had conveyed the idea that
the party was given in honor of
friends visiting Miss Jimmie Brit
ton, sister of the hostess. lmmedi-
ately after the contest, however. lit.
tie Miss Margaret Lesesne entered
the room holding most mysterious
looking bag. When the feminine
curiosity was at its height the bag
was opened and a little white kitten
jumped to the floor, being caught by
Misses Cooper and Brockington.
Upon untying the ribbon from round
the kittens neck. Miss Brockington
read the following announcement:
The cat is out of the bag now, for
Jimmie Britton is not going to Flor,
ida, as she has been telling US, but,
on December 2. 1916, will become
Mrs Fore Jasper Watson" The an
nouncement came as a complete sur
prise, for no one suspected the en-
gagement. Miss Jimmie is the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs H 0 Brit
ton. 1t is with genuine regret that
her many friends learn that in the
near future she will make her home
in another town. Her charming uian.
ners and loving disposition have won
her a place in the hearts of all. Mr.
Watson, who for the past two years
has been the successful superintend-
ent of Little Rock High school, is a
graduate of the Citadel in Charles
ton and of the University of South
Carolina. He is a member OF a
prominent Latta family and has a
host of friends throughout the State

ed with miniature pines, ferns and

British Warn Mexico
Not TO Aid German
Submarine In Gulf
Foreign Minister Aguilar Gives Out Text of Note
from British Ambassador - Strict Censorship
Mexican Wireless

The reply says that the Mexican gov.
ernment WILL for this time only. an.
swer the representations of the Brit.
ish government through Mr.. Parker,
Foreign Minister AGuilar states tina,
the Mexican government feels 1t unjust
for the allies to hold Mexico respon-
sible for submarine activities in the
gulf of Mexico. when the same sub
marines arrived in American ports and
sank ships in American territorial
waters without causing conflict or diff
fculties between Germany and the
United States. He adds that Mexico
d csires to retain cordial relations with
Great Britain and to this end suggests
that the English fleet prevent the Ger
man submarines from leaving their
base, thus obviatirg to the Mexican
disagreeable incidents
caused by the European conflict. If
such measures by England are not eff
fcacious. the foreign minister con-
the Mexican government will
take such measures as the circum-
stances direct should German subma-
rines enter Mexican waters.

Mexico City, Nov. 6.-The Mexican
government has been notified by the
British ambassador at Washington of
the presence of German submarines in
the Gulf of Mexico and has been warn
ed that the allies will take drastic
if the undersea craft receive
aid from Mexican ports or sources.
This information was made public last
night by Foreign Minister Aguilar.
who issued the text of a note received
from the British ambassador through
Secretary of State Lansing and Charge
D'affaires Charles B. Parker. The Brit
ish note demands a strict censorship
of the Mexican wireless and says that
any failure to maintain neutrality will
be followed by disastrous results. In
his reply addressed to Mr.. Parker Sen
or Aguilar says that it seems strange
to the Mexican government that Great
Britain should use the United States
State Department as an intermediary
on a point concerning Mexico alone.
when Great Britain has an
representative to Mexico.
