A friend of ours name Schultz asks
us what we think of garlic. Truth
f., Harry, we don't think of garlic II
we can help it.
Onions are bad enough, heaven
knows. And garlic is demoralized

Garlic originated with the pirates
who sailed the Spanish Main. Knives,
daggers, blunderbusses, garlic and
other deadly weapons we're common
to them.
Garlic in the rough looks like q
tulip bulb and smells like an Italian
picnic. 1t is strung up In punches IN
front OF a grocery store. People who
eat it ought to be too.
A little garlic goes long way. Es-

THR NEW CONSTITUTION.

Mexico has declared her new con-
stitution effective, although there are
a number of articles which must be
brought into force through enactment
of laws. The constitution Is the work
of Gen. Carranza. and the Mexican
ruler is even now gaining notice in
Europe. Yesterdays dispatches say
a wireless message from the general
has been received by the Kaiser, ex-
tending best wishes--but authorities
say there is no wireless station In
Mexico powerful enough to fash the
token across the seas.
The new constitution has many fea-
lures of interest, especially to the
United States. There are opportuni.
ties for comparison, and many chances
for opinion because of the Mexican
aTairs being so close to the happiness
Of America. The Albany Herald says:
The Mexican constitutional con-
vention in session at Queretaro
has about completed aaprogram
for the organization of what is in
tended to be a stable constitu-
tional government. A congress is
to be elected the last Sunday in
February, and will assemble in
extraordinary session to act as
sort of electoral college to can
Z Yass and declare the vote fer the
presidency. The president is to
be elected the last Sunday in
March, and to be seated May list
There will be no vice president,
but the machinery is provided to
fill eventual vacancies. 1t is
practically a. foregone conclus-
ion that First Chief Carranza will
be the successful candidate. In
fact, no real opposition to him has
I developed. Our first presidential
election. too. was unanimous. and
| he had been the commander in
chief of the revolutionary armies.

LAW AND HUMANITY.

For the sake of law and humanity
in keeping with these highest essen
tails of civilization, President Wilson
has taken his stand, approved by the
American people, in the German sub
marine controversy.
But further than international law
President Wilson has made plain that
all other acts will be in keeping with
the laws of the nation, and of right
and wrong. Expediency will not give
way to wrong, says Washington. Pay
ing tribute to the presidents stand at
this time is the following comment
from the Savannah Morning News:
The president shows plainly his
determination that the game shall
be played according to Hoyle. He
is in no panic himself, and is do
ing everything possible to keep
the nation calm and sane. More
over, there has been a most en-
couraging absence Of local oct
breaks and other evidences of per-
sonal Ill will. The position of the
nation is one of dignity, and the
American people should deport
themselves accordingly.

I'm the old days" says The St Paul
Dispatch, when we didn't have much
money, but had muscular shoulders
and wore stout jeans, we had no quar-
rel with the silver dollar. When we
possessed money it was a comfort to
hear it jingle. to feel it weighing on
our galluses. But since we have be-
eume prosperous we have put away
our desire for the physical evidence
of money. We want something that
does not wear holes in our modern ef-
fete pockets. We want something
which It does not make us round

THE HEALTH LAW.

Sumter county is preparing to pu'
into effect the Ellis public health bill
Two successive grand juries in this
county have recommended the fulfill
ment of the law, according to the law
itself, the articles become bind
ing on the county through the action
of their grand juries.
It is now planned for the County
Board of Health to hold a meeting on
Tuesday, February 18th, to select the
health commissioner and attend to
other details of the bill
Interesting comment on the law
appears in the editorial columns OF
the Atlanta Constitution:
In adopting resolutions, urging
action by county authorities in
making effective the provisions of
the Ellis health bill, the public
health committee of the Georgia
Federation OF Womens clubs Is
only continuing with renewed en-
phasis the splendid efforts that
organization began some years
ago to improve the general health
and sanitation conditions prevail
ing in Georgia.
During the tendency of the Ell
lis bill before the general assem-
bly, in 1914, 1t had no more ear
nest support than that afforded
by the women's clubs federation.
As matter of fact, to the women
of Georgia is due the lions
!. share OF credit for the law; and
1t is only natural and proper that
the organization should not re-
linquish Its zeal until the good
work contemplated in the measure
becomes effective in every county

every particular. 1t contemplates
the health needs of the community

BETTER THAN CALOMEL

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel - are a mild but sure

almost instantaneous. They are the result
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
Of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teeth?
Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. Sodo strong liquids. Itis best not
to take caIomeI, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place. g
Most headaches "dullness'' and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
