Auto.Intoxication
Causes Death

Do you know why you have sick
headache, diabetes, neuralgia, rheu-
matism and liver or kidney troubles !?
It's because you are being poisoned
by products of your own body. Your
organs of elimination are not work
ing properly. Waste material that
should be thrown out is being retained
TO poison and intoxicate your system.
That could not happen If the bowels
were kept open with Granger Liver
Regulator. This splendid preparation
is purely vegetable and non-alcoholic.
Demand Granger Liver Regulator at
your drug store-25c box-and take
40 other. There is nothing "just as

MRS. ADDIE EPPS DEAD.
Passed. Away Sunday after Sew
eral Weeks Illness.


One of the most generally lament
ed deaths that has ever occurred in
Kingstree was that of Mrs Addie
Epps, wife of Mr. D. Epps. which
occurred at her home on Live Oak
avenue, in North Kingstree, Sunday
afternoon at 2::30 o'clock. after an
illness of about three weeks.
Before marriage she was Miss
Addie Burgess. daughter of Mr. and
Mrs Samuel H Burgess. of the Bethel
section of this county. where she was
born and spent her girlhood. She
was married to Mr. Epps Thursday,
December 2l, 1898, and from their
union nine children were born, viz:
six daughters. Misses Irene. Louise,
Elizabeth, Pattie, Addie and an in
fant three weeks old land three sons.
David, a student at Davidson college.
Davidson, N C, Roy and Nevelin. all
of whom survive her. Mrs Epps was
a devoted wife and mother and was
never happier than when her hus-
band and children and others dear
to her heart were gathered about
her in the home she loved so we'll
and made so cheerful, bright and
hospitable to all who entered its
doors.
She was a lady of exceptional at
tainments, being noted and lovedsfor
her charming personality, kind, ami
able and affectionate disposition and
beautiful Christian character. and it
can truly be said Of her that she
greeted the trials and burdens of life
with a gracious smile under any and
all circumstances.
In addition to her immediate fam
lily the deceased is survived by her
aged mother. one brother. Mr. L D
Burgess, of this place, and three Sis
ters, Mrs Worsham of Conway, and
Misses la and Fannie Burgess of
Kingstree, besides a large circle of
other relatives.
The funeral took place Monday
afternoon at 8 o'clock at the Pres
byterian church, of which she was a
devout member. The pastor, Rev P
S McChesney, officiated. After the
service at the church the body was
taken to the old Williamsburg ceme-
terry, followed by large concourse
of sorrowing relatives and friends.
There it was laid to rest. The grave
was filled and the newly made mound
covered with beautiful floral designs.
last tributes from those who knew
and loved her in life.
The deepest sympathy is felt for
the grief-stricken husband, children
and other members of the home.
wherein the noble influence of the
devoted daughter; wife. mother,
sister and friend were as a halo of
beauty and glory always. May she
rest in peace.

AUTHORS AS LONG WALKERS
Dickens, Wadsworth, Southey, Faw-
cett and Others Were Classed as
Pedestrians of Prominence.

1t Is calculated that Wordsworth, In
his many years of sauntering. must
have Travelled a distance of 10000
miles. What sights he saw during such
prolonged and delightful wanderings
only those who have the poets mind
and eye can even guess, observes Lon
don Tit-Bits.
Charles Dickens was confirmed
tramp, and no doubt acquired his ex-
perience Of "life ON the road" from ac-
tual acquaintance with all sorts of
vagabcnds and odd characters.
One of the most remarkable of I'M
professional walkers was Professor
Wilson, the "ChristOpher North" of lit
erature. His fine physique and great
endurance prompted him to the per-
formance Of wonderful feats, which
seemed to him entirely matter OF
course. He once walked 40 miles in
eight hours, and at another time
walked distance of 80 miles In "a
hours.
Henry Fawcett, also, was tireless

of sight, did not think of relinquishing
this among many forms Of exercise. His
was a familiar figure on the roads
about Cambridge, and there is no ex-
aggeration in saying that few men
blessed with all his senses could enjoy
nature more thrOughly than he.
Southey. worn and preyed upon by
mental application and the practical
anxieties of everyday life, found his
greatest relief in tramping about the
country.
John Stuart Mill delighted In pedes-
trian tours, and Charles Lamb, though
he loved town better than country, was
one who believed in sweeping cObwebs
from the brain by brisk and continuous
walking.

TRAIN OVER SLEEPING BABY
Infant Near Ocean City, DEL, Was
Unhurt and Began to Cry When
Picked Up.

Whaleyville, Del.-Asleep In the
middle Of the railroad track, 2-year-
old girl escaped injury when a fast
train bound to Ocean City passed

The train, running about GO miles
an hour. was in charge of Engineer L.

child until only few feet away.
Brakes were applied, and the trainmen
ran back and picked up little Annie

Immediately began to cry. Not a

MISTAKE FISH FOR U-BOATS
Submarine chasers Spend Much Of

6Iackflsh.

Cleveland. O.-A great percentage
Of the U-boats sighted by merchant
ships going through the submarine
zone are just healthy, going
blackfish on their way to dinner en-
gagements.
That is why all submarine chasers
spend much of their time chasing fish
mistaken for submarines.
Lieut.. Howard Vickery, home on fur
Tough, expressed that opinion. And
Vickery ought to know, for his chaser
cruised $4,000 miles after the German
sea terrors. His ship is In dry dock
now and he has few days furlough.
"The U-boats do not bother the
American sailors half as much as the
mines" he said.
"Many torpedoed ships are lost" he
continued. when they might have
been saved, because their shippers

MINE FIELDS MENACE NORWAY
Ownership of Drifting Agents Of De-
struction Is Matter Of
Doubt.

MISUNDERSTANDING mine fields are
reported along the whole Norwegian
coast from Listerland eastward. Off
Halo, 90 mines were seen drifting
north to Christiana ford, and from
Halvo many explosions have been
heard.
The drifting mine fields are sur
rounded by n mass of dsifting wreck
age. Norwegian motor boats have
salved many casks of wine, margarine
and whale oil.
The ownership of the drifting mine
fields is a matter of doubt. Certainly
nobody is anxious to claim them, for
they do not conform to the rules of
The Hague convention, which pre-
scribeS that mines shall be so con-
structed that they become harmless
when adrift.

In the field, officers eat the same
food as the men. II they want to pur-
chase some extra dainties that is their
affair. Any man can do the same. The
government issues sugar for the coffee,
and jam or preserves or dried fruit. At
mess time. the men, each carrying his
kit, line up In front Of the kitchen. As
the line passes along, the sergeant
dishes up the stew and beans or other
vegetables, one Of the cooks dOles out
the bread. another fills the coffee mugs
and the third is sweltering over the
fire. After all the men have been
served, the sergeant fills the officers
tin dishes and carries them to where
they are waiting. That Is all the extra
service they get. 1t is the same with
the marines. 1t Is a wise government
regulation. The officer knows what
food the men are getting. for he has
the same.

MESS COOK THE Big man OF army

Anybody who has suddenly dropped
into a strange company about mess
time knows that the chances of dining

squat on the ground, hold the mess
plate I'm one hand and feed with the
made on the mess sergeant than If 1t Is
made on the captain. The captain
possibly eats off table made out of an
old box. Certain formalities, however,
are observed among officers. The cap
tain may not always volunteer as host,
and it is not good form to invite your
self.
"Say, sarg. any chance Of bumming
some chOw?" is a good formula.
Always can scrape the old pan for
a hungry man." is his usual reply.
Don't want to crowd you. and 1
haven't a mess kit either" you say.
"Guess I've got an extra one around
I'll fix you up all right" he says, and
you eat.
The American army eats well but II
figures closely. RatiOns are drawn for
exactly the number Of men and the
exact number of days that they are to
eat. 1t Is up to the mess sergeant and
his cooks to see that everybody gets
his share of everything and that moth
ing is left over. That means close fig
uring with only his eyes and a big
spoon to measure by.
For each infantry company Of 2O4
men there are a mess sergeant and
three cooks. Under the old organiza-
ton there were a sergeant and three
cooks for a company of 153 men and
officers. The way 1t works out up to q
