An Ideal Remedy
for Nursing Mothers.
Compound OF Simple LaXative Herbs
Safe for Baby and Mother.

Constipation is a con !ltion that
affects the old, young and middle
aged, and most people at one time
or another need help in regulating
the action of the bowels. Harsh
cathartics and rurgatives should not
be elup:oycd to relieve constipation,
as their effect is only temporary
while they shock the system un-
necessarily.
A remedy that can be used with
perfect safety for the tiniest babe
and that is equally effective for the
strongest constitution is found in
the combination of simple laxative
herbs known as DIR Caldwell's Syr-
up Pepsin and sold in drug stores
everywhere for fifty cents bottle.
This is an ideal household remedy
and should be in every family med

Hemingway. April 18:-The new
graded school building at this place
is nearing completion and will be
ready for occupancy in about a
month. When completed this build
ing will be one of the most modern
in this section of the State. 1t con-
tains eight spacious rooms equipped
with a modern lighting system. cloak
rooms, lavatories, etc. The audi
torium is constructed with an eleva-

The new Methodist church was
completed several weeks ago. This
building is also modern in every de-
tail. 1t is built with the elevated
floor, diagonal pews, Gothic windows
with stained glass. curved overhead

LATEST WAR SUMMARY.

The Germans have launched a
powerful infantry attack against
the French positions from the Meuse
to Douaumont, and again they have
been swept back. except where they
obtained footing in small portion
of the Chauffeur wood. Heavy cas-
ualties were inflicted on the attack
ing forces along the two and one
half mile battle front.
The Germans have kept up their
heavy shelling of Hill 304, north
west of Verdun, and the second
ines of the French in this region,
probably with the intention of again
throwing their infantry forward in
an endeavor to capture these i'm
portant points-keys to the Verdun
position on the west.
On the British front in Belgium
and France the heavy bombardments
by the British and Germans continue
unabated. The artillery activity in
the section between St Eloi and the
Ypres-Comines Canal has been especi-
ally marked.
The Germans have poured shells
on the Russian position along the
Dvina RIVER, at the Iksult bridge
head and about Dvinsk, and vigor-
Gus artillery duels have been in pre-
gress south of Dvinsk.
In Galicia. along the Stripa River,
the Teutons nave made several at
tacks against Russian trenches, but
all of them were repulsed. accord
ing to Petrograd.
The big guns on both sides are in
action along most of the Austro-
Italian front. In the Sugana Valley
the Austrians delivered attacks
against the Italians from the Lar
ganza Torrent to Mont Colo, but
they were everywhere repulsed.
In Asiatic Turkey the Russiaps on
the Black Sea coast have captured
the town of Suhmeneh, and have
pushed further westward against
the retreating Turks to Arzene
Kelessi, less than twelve miles from
the important fortified town. of
Trebizond.
The Russians are anticipating no
easy conquest of Trebizond, accord
ing to unofficial advices from Petro-
grad, the town having been heavily
fortified and reinforced with three
complete divisions of troops. The
Turks are declared to be resisting
furiously the onward press of the
Russians against Bathurst, north
west of Erzerum, in the attainment
of which the Russians hope to join
hands with their men fighting in the
Black Sea littoral.

Swat the Fly.

OlemSOn COleSe, April IL. Dy
carefully studying the numerous eX-
periments that have been conducted
within the last few years with the
house fly, it has been found that
this pest is a great disease carrier.
We must study its life history be.
fore we can understand its disease
carrying ability.
The eggs of the fly are laid on
stable manure and in privies. but
thrive best on horse manure. Each
female lays about 125 eggs. of
which rs per cent are females. In
ten days after the eggs are laid, the
fly is full grown.
The house fly carries disease
germs on its legs. 1t does not bite,
as most people think. 1t is the sta
bic fly that bites. Flies, after COW
ering the little hairs on their legs
with numerous disease germs. fly
into the house and crawl over the
food that we eat. AS they crawl
about, the germs drop off their legs,
and we eat them unknowingly. The
average life of fly in the summer
is about three weeks.
During the Spanish-American war
it was found that the fly was a car
rier of typhoid fever germs. Flies
are also carriers of infantile paraly-
sis. An experiment carried on by
Prof Munson proves without a
doubt that the house fly is a carrier
of this disease.
The best preventive against these
diseases is to keep the breeding
places of the house fly clean. The
following are few ways by which
the house fly may be controlled:
/. Screen the house.
2. Keep your premises free from
all fly attracting material, such as
garbage. slops. etc. Such refuse
should be kept in a closed vessel at
all times.
8. Screen all privies on the prem
ises. Have in every closet a keg of
slaked lime and use freely to dry up
the closet material.
a. When cleaning out the stables
do not sp 'ead the manure all over
the lot or leave in unprotected heap.
If possible haul it direct to the field
and spread it. If this is not possible
put it in heap, and spray it every
ten to fourteen days with arsenite
of soda solution as described in cir
cular No % of the South Carolina
Experiment Station. Arsenic of
soda is poisonous, so be very careful
with it. Keep it away from all feed
stuff, and out of reach of children.
5. Use the Clemson Fly Trap as
described in this bulletin, about the
barns. privy closets, kitchen doors,
hog pens and other breeding places.
6. 1t is we'll to do away with the
privy, and put in a septic tank.
These tanks are easily constructed,
and they give excellent results.
They do away with the disagreeable
odors of the privy, and reduce the
breeding places of the house fly.

THE RIGHT TO STRIKE.

Each side to labor controversy presumably
considers itself right; each side considers it.
self aggrieved by the other side-considers
that pledges have been broken and that a
brokn pledge, being matter of honor, cannot
be arbitrated.
In the case of the threatened railroad strike,
the men refused to arbitrate on the broad
ground that they could not get square deal
out of any existing r-to-be created board Of
arbitration; they are as wickedly wrong and
tyrannical at this day as was any cold blooded
and oppressive corporation in the old days.
And now, in the New York City street car
strike, day by day goes by, and it is the trac-
ton magnates and managers who refuse to ar
bitrate on the ground that the union men have
broken recently made agreement. The New
York City situation differs in degree-not in
kind-from that of the Washington fight three
weeks ago. The New York City employers are
just as arrogant, just as wickedly regardless of
the ultimate public interest as were the rail-
way brotherhoods in Washington.
We shall not achieve any great advance in
the handling of industrial disputes until the
growth of public opinion forces the voluntary
acceptance of arbitration as a matter of
course. And this presupposes the creation and
maintenance Of permanent arbtrating bodies
whose ability and lmpartialitv are so obvious
that neither labor nor capital will fear to risk
test at any time or on any question.
Compulsory arbitration seems wrong in
principle; but some approximation of it must
be had-even if that approximation is nothing
more than the force of public opinion-in or
der that both employers and employees of public
corporations be forced to settle their disputes
with minimum of inconvenience and suffer
ing to the public.
The right of the Individual worker to leave
his job the right of the individual worker to
combine with other workers and to leave their
jobs as an organized unit-these are industrial
rights which are both well recognized and
eminently sound But in the case of the great
public service corporations these rights come
In conflict with the equal or higher right of the
pubic not to be deprived of transportation OF

Whom every in arms should wish to be?
IT'S he whose law is reason; who depends
Upon that law the best of friends
Who, if he rise to station of command.
Rises by open means: and there will stand
On honorable terms else retire.
And in himself possess his own desire;
Who comprehends his trust and to the Same
Keeps faithful with singleness of aim:
And therefore does not stoop, nor lie in wait
For wealth. or honors. for worldly state;
Whom they must follow; whose head must fall.
Like showers of mamma, If they come at all.
Who If he be called to face
Some awful moment to which Heaven has Joined
Great issues, good or bad for human kind,
Is happy lover; and attired
With sudden brightness like inspired:
And through the heat CT conflict, keeps the law
In calmness made. and sees what he foresaw
Or If unexpected call succeed.
Come when it will. is equal to the need.

Forever. and to noble deeds give birth,
Or he must go TO dust without his fame
And leave dead. Improbable name

Federal Rate Making Supreme.

New York Times: The United
States district court at Cedar Rapids.
Iowa, has refused an Injunction
against an increase of express rates
within South Dakota, as ordered by
the interstate commerce commission.
Accordingly. on Friday the federal
zone and block rates will prevail over
state-fixed rates. The South Dakota
express rates were reduced by the
state commission on the order OF the
Legislature, entirely in the interest
of the consumer" according to the
Sioux Falls Press. But the Sioux
City jobbers complained that the
rates were SO low that they could not
compete in the South Dakota market
The rates complained of had been
iudicially declared reasonable. 1t is
not alleged that they are confiscatory.
The case, therefore, is not the ordin-
airy one of a complaint of a shipper
against a carrier or OF carrier
against commission, or of the rea-
sonableness of an individual rate, or
of the reasonableness Of the relation
Of rates to one another. 1t is prac-
tically case OF a market in one
state against the market in another
state 1t might almost be said that
1t is a case between states or between
South Dakota and the nation, since
he rates disallowed and the rates
established are both officially fixed.
The principle established is that
he citizens of one state have a
right to trade in another state on an
equality with the citizens of that
state The principle condemned is
hat any state can create preference
or its own citizens in its own mar
kets, or can discriminate against the
.rade of citizens of another state by
creating Determinations against
them by rates officially declared and
iudicially approved. Cheapness to
the consumers of South Dakota can
not be created at the expense of the
'oss of trade to Iowa jobbers, II that
trade is taken away by discrimina-
ton in rates The freedom OF trade
within the United States cannot be
destroyed by predatory rate making,
wen with the assistance of commits
iions and local courts. The United
States is the overload and will keep
a fair ring for the fight between COM
petitors.
Here energies another idea in rate
making. Regulation started with
rate fixing, passed into the regulation
Of profits, and now concerns itself
with the regulations Of markets. The
older cases were personal The later
cases are official and political. The
federal court takes the stand that the
interstate commerce commission is
superior to the general assembly of
South Dakota in the regulation Of
rates on business exclusively intra-
state. The federal power fixes the
rates on business originating and
terminating wholly within the state
whose lawful rates were annulled be
cause conflicting with the federal rate
system.

NATIONAL sELF-PRoTEcTIoN.

7 One of the seeming certainties of the early
future is that Great Britain, the only free trade
country of importance In the world, will aban-
don that policy and turn to protection at the
close of the war. By so doing she has very
much to gain She can give her great colonies,
Canada and Australasia, that preference in the
English markets which they consider their due.
She can raise money to meet her vast indebted
ness. She can keep German merchandise out
of the empire, and, most important of all, she
can thus keep her own citizens busy at renlun-
ierative work
! The British trades union congress sees clear
lly that the empire must become protectionist
after the war or experience such poverty and
Inisery as the island kingdom never knew before.
At a recent session, by practically unanimous
vote, this organization demanded that the gov
eminent ''adopt methods restricting or pre-
venting the importation of cheap manufactured
goods produced at lower rates of wages and I'M
der worse conditions than prevail in England. =
The only practicable way to do this is by a
protective tariff, and it is foregone conclusion
that this will be the method taken.
Self-protection is natures first law as well
for nations as for individuals. We have had no
end of sounding folderol about how we should
go forth uner free trade to capture the mar
kets Of the world. But our first concern is
manifestly to keep our own market, which is the
best on earth and must for years to come be
better, relatively to the European markets.
than it ever was before. Prudence demands that
we retain this at whatever cost. Take the case
of manufacturer who can sell at fair profit
in his own home market his output of ten
months. Is it not better that he should sell
abroad for cost his two remaining months out
put and thus keep his employees at work the
year around? It is no more criminal for ma
ton to do this than it is for merchant to have
annual sales of remnant; and left-oyers at or
under cost, but nation is supremacy foolish
which does not protect itself against duinping
nations as far as it can. The only effective
method of doing this ever discovered is by n
protecting tariff wall

Of equal rights, each of those rights must be
pared down or limited SO that the least hard
ship shall result to the greatest number
Government and state regulation and super
vision of rates and finances in the case of pub
lie service corporations have rested on the the
DRY that those corporations stand in semi
fduciary relation to the public whom they
serve. This is sound and true; but 1t is equal
ly true that the employee is in a semi-fiduclary
relation to the public; if the good of the state
requires that his employers conduct be super
vised. it equally requires that his own conduct
hs1supervised.
The Gate City believes, and has heretofore
expressed the belief, that the time is not far
distant when the government will limit the
right to strike of employees of railroads and
other great public service corporations; what
the limitations may be- it is more difficult to
say In the free market of private enterprise
the right to strike or lockout should be I'M
limited; but when the public is the most ag-
grieved party-when either the public service
corporations or their employees refuse to arbi-
trate-the time is soon coming when they shall
be forced to.
