One of the latest to add his un-
qualified endorsement to Martins
Liver Medicine is John Bu.nyon
Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In letter
dated August Is, 1917, he says:
ut affords me pleasure to report
that 1 have taken Martins Liver
Medicine and obtained most deslr-

cine is pleasant to the taste, does
not gripe nor inconvenience the
taker in any way. 1t acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold"
Martins Liver Medicine IS strictly
vegetable in ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the drug store
and the SOC paid for it will be re-
funded. AS medicine for consti-

CONSTITUTION AND PENSIONS
To the Editor of the Telegraph:


To the Editor of the Telegraph:
Our State Constitution is one of the
best constructed guides for State
government that can be formulated,
and if strictly followed in legislation
and use in conducting the government
In general, very much that is bad
would not be and unconstitutional
laws would not be on our statute
books.
The great trouble seems to be the
deplorable ignorance displayed in re-
gard to 1T. AS remedy, a law should
be enacted that any one elected or
appointed to office should not be al
lowed to hold it unless he first qualify
in knowledge of the State Constitu-
ton, and it should also be made an
obligatory study in the grammar and
high school grades of the public
schools.
Lately, Deputy Attorney General
Kun gave to the Auditor General what
was termed a very important opinion
based on Section z of Article 3, of the
Constitution. Why have Sections 1S
and 10 of Article 8 received no con-
siderauon in legislation and their
application thereto? They are so plain
that they need no special opinion or
Interpretation. They read as follows:
Section Is. mo appropriation except
for pensions or gratuities for military
service shall be made for charitable,
educational or benevolent purposes to
any person or community; nor to any
denominational or sectarian institu-
ton, corporation or association"
Section 10. THE General Assembly
may make appropriations of money to
institutions wherein the widows of
soldiers are supported or assisted or
the orphans of soldiers are maintain
ed and educated, but such appropria-
tlons shall be applied exclusively to
the support of such widows and or
phans."
Those wise men who ordained and
established our Constitution, knew
well politics and politicians, and to
bar the flood of inimical and vicious
legislation on that line prohibited it
by these two sections that were adopt
ed.
These prohibitive sections have been
treated as scraps of paper" either
through ignorance of them or wilful
disregard by legislation enacted.
