DUE TO TOXINS IN BOWELS
Appendicitis Is primarily due to poi

sides appendicitis most other diseases
are due to unclean bowels. Nervous

caused by pressure Of gas in the intes-

Beef Stew.

The report that the British govern
ment has recently contracted in the
United States for 6OO,000,O00 cans of
beef stew, for use in provisioning its
armies in the field, has inspired dis
tinguished authority on diet to make
analysis of this article of food. 1t
appears that, in comparison with the
beef stew which finds place upon
American tables, it lacks very con-
siderably in the chemical ingredient
of calcium oxide, with dispropor-
tionate amount of magnesium; and
that susceptibility to illness fol-
lows"
These chemical determinations,
however, are not alarming, in view of
the judgment of the New York Medi-
cal Journal that the formula sounds
an appetizing one and ought to be
much more acceptable than "bully
beef to all excepting those few un-
fortunate individuals who cannot bear
onions-Boston Post.

Interned Cruisers Seized.

Philadelphia, Feb. 3.-The intern
ed German cruisers Kronprinz Will
helm and Prinz Eitel Friedrich were
seized early tonight by order of the
navy department and their crews i'm
prisoned in an isolation barracks.
The Seizure was followed by the
placing of an armed guard at the
yard entrance, while marines were
assigned to patrol the land side
limits of the government preserve.
Motor boats and other light craft
with machine guns aboard patrolled
the river and prevented vessels from
coming within g prescribed area.
Shore leave of marines and sailors
was rescinded and visitors forbidden.
Four steamers, one flying the
American flag, laden with munitions
and other rich cargoes and destined
for the war zone, sailed from here
today. Among the half dozen steam
ers that cleared for foreign ports was
the American tanker Gold Shell, fol

"PEARL OF MYSTERY" SOLD.
Was Central Gem of Stolen Necklace
Valued at $675,OOO.

The finest pearl of NJ. Max Mayer S
celebrated necklace, which was not
recovered when the other pearls were
located" in the autumn of 1913 af-
ter the theft, but came into the pos
session o. Lloyd's underwriters many
months :ater under remarkable cir
cumstances, has been sold for a sum
that represented five figures. 1t is
understood that since the recovery
the pearl has been held for under
writer's account, and that the pres
ent sale has been effected outside
this country.
The gem, which has now been sold,
weighs Al 1-16 grains, and was the
centre pearl of the fine oriental neck
lace of 81 graduated pearls, weighing
1859 grains, which was stolen when
in transit in July, 1913, between
Paris and London. The complete
necklace was valued at 5000
pounds (s675,O00). On September
4 of that year the announcement was
made that two of the large pearls,
valued at $4,000 pounds had been
recovered. On September 15-just
two months after the theta pack
age containing most of the missing
gems was found by a workman in a
Highbury street One of the small
pearls, valued at less than 400
pounds, was dropped by the finder,
and it was subsequently replaced in
the necklace by another. The other
81 which were discovered were taken
to the local police station, and were
soon identified by NJ. Mayer. Only
the central pearl remained unac-
counted for, and this was recovered
on February "a, of the following year
by means which have never been pub
licly disclosed.
Immense public interest was taken
for months after the theft in the
search for the missing pearls, stimu-
lated by the offer of a reward of 1O,-
600 pounds; in the trial of four per-
sons who were found guilty of steal
ing and receiving the necklace and
were sentenced to terms of imprison-
ment; and in the subsequent division
of the reward among the persons who
were held to have participated in the
circumstances leading to the recov-
ery of the pearls.-London Times.

FLOWER GARDENS.
How They are Used to Interest the
Traveller.

In the January Woman's Home
Companion, writer says:
Zone of the best means of quickly
catching the interest of the passing
traveller is shown in a beautiful
flower garden on a main highway,
not fifty miles from New York. 1t is
a we'll kept, artistic garden Of old
fashioned flowers, riot of color the
season through. One long bed runs
quite a distance by the road on each
side of the house, planted with taste
and craft, to give a maximum OF
beauty in successive crops of flowers.
Only two harmoniously colored flow
ers bloom at a time for the whole
distance, and the effect is very strik-
ing. 1t is hard to decide which is the
more artistic, the purple and yellow
iris in early spring, or the gorgeous
poppies that follow after, but all
through the flower season this bed
is sure to catch the eye of the autoist
in time to cause him to slow down,
to enjoy the garden about the quaint
little house. And having slowed
down, he next notices an artistic
swinging sign-board reading, Flow
ergarden Tea Room and inviting the
passerby to luncheon or afternoon
tea. All is so alluring that there is
almost too much patronage. He en-
joys so entirely the surroundings, the
luncheon of good home cooking, the
flowers, that he almost resents the
entrance into this Eden of a lot OF
other hungry mortals."

Palmetto State Ready.

Columbia, Jan. Ex-Governor
Manning tonight received the follow

Times:
Germany has presented note to-
night withdrawing her submarine
pledges and indicating her intentions
of sinking without warning by mine
or torpedo, any vessel, including
American, carrying goods or passen-
gers into a zone extending about
twenty miles around the coasts of
France and the British Isles after
February l. Please telegraph us a
brief expression of your views on
this situation" The governor re-
piled as follows:
"Germany's note presents situa-
tion Of extreme gravity and may pre-
cipitate complications resulting in
war. President Wilson can be relied
on to use every possible precaution
to protect American lives, consistent
with the honor and dignity of the ma

Retrenchment Would EnSue Upon
Declaration of War.

Columbia, Feb. 4.-Rupture of
diplomatic relations between the
United States and Germany will be-
come a demoralizing factor in the
general assembly during the two re-
naming weeks of the session. With
the possibility of entrance into the
European war impending, legislation
of Statewide import is likely to be
enacted cautiously, particularly that
relating to finances.
Appropriations will naturally be
sliced in the effort to conserve econ
omy. The greatest sufferers will be
State institutions of learning, all Of
which were rapidly readjusting them
selves and retrenching losses effected
by the early disturbing influences OF
the war, reflected in the United
States. Other institutions calling for
large appropriations are the State
Hospital for the Insane, the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
and the State board of health. All
these were entering upon enlarged
spheres of usefulness and foreign
complications will induce legislators
to restrict expenditures wherever pos
sible.
Decided progress was made in both
houses last week. Through effective
committee organization and coopera-
ton. the issues calling for sharp de-
bate have been advanced to the lead
in the senate calendar. Insurance
measures to close the breach opened
by the Laney-Odom act are on third
reading in the upper house along
with the three pending liquor traffic
regulation bills. Passage of some
highway commission bill is probable,
that the State may become the bene-
ficiary of the national fund for the
construction of post roads. Two bills
of this character were debated Sat-
urday and will be subjected to an
other discussion Tuesday night.
Another bill about which the
storms of partisan debate will in all
probability rage this week is the bill
to empower the governor to appoint
the chief game warden, without re-
course to recommendation of the
Audubon society. Though regarded
as one of the measures of the ad-
ministrative programme, the society
it is said, asked last year that the bill
be passed. "Pernicious political &C
tiyity' in last summers State cam
paign is an argument which will per-
haps be advanced by those advocat-
ing the passage of the bill.
Rumor current about the capitol
is that the election of the State ware
house commissioner has not cleared
the programme of the prospect of an
indirect fight on the system. Infor-
nation is that filibuster on the ap-
preparation is in contemplation.
