Girls Need Martins
Liver Medicine In
stead of CalOmel

"My experience in work as a train
ed nurse" said young woman,
"teaches me that young girls are es-
pecially subject to constipation SIM
ply because they omit or neglect the
all-important duty to Nature that
should be performed without fail
every day."
And then, after they get bilious and
headachy, so many of them take that
nasty, poisonous calomel that sickens
their stomachs and makes them have
to stay at home while it acts on them.
They would be very much better off If
they took a dose or so Of Martins
Liver Medicine, guaranteed veget-
able medicine which acts gently on the
bowels, without gripping or causing
loss of time or affecting the appetite.

and pleasant to take-a spoonful is
usually sufficient in treating a head

NO MORE GRAIN FOR LIQUOR.
Whiskey Manufacture Ceases Under
Food Law Provision.

Washington, Sept. S.-Tonight al
II o'clock whiskey manufacture
ceases in the United States under the
provisions of the food control law
and the millions of bushels of grain
used heretofore in making that form
of drink will be diverted to food
Importation of whiskey also stops
tonight.
Just how much grain will be added
to the food supply as result is not
determinable, but experts say about
O,000,0G0 bushels are used by the
distilleries each year, of which about
4O,000,000 bushels are used in whis-
key manufacture.
Customs officials throughout the
country after tonight will seize all
importations Of spurious liquors
reaching the United States. Officers
of the Internal revenue bureau
throughout the country will see that
distilleries make no more whiskey.
Distillers may continue manufac-
turing alcohol for commercial pur-
poses, and many of them have ar
ranged for this work, others turning
their distilleries into manufacturing
plants for yeast, vinegar and by-pro-
ducts.
Stocks of whiskey in the country
undoubtedly are larger than they
ever have been, because of active
preparation by distillers and dealers
in anticipation of the law. Distill-
ers have been working at utmost ca
pacity and imports have been larger
than ever.
Officials estimate the quantity of
whiskey in bond in warehouses to be
about 190,000,0OO gallons. Stocks
not in bond will bring the quantity
on hand in the country up to about
230,000,O0O gallons. The annual
production of whiskey has been 49,
100000 gallons.

BOMB PLANT FOUND.
Roof of Building Blown Off by Blast
as Detectives Were Passing.

Hoboken, n. j., Sept. S.-What ap-
peared to be a fully equipped bomb
making plant was disclosed to the
police tonight when an explosion
blew off the roof of small building
in Third street as two detectives were
passing. A man who fed from the
structure was seized by one of the
officers. He gave the name of Robert
Lichenfeldt and his age as ffty-three
years old. He admitted he of is Ger
man birth.
The fire which followed the explo-
sion was quickly eXtinguished with
out additional damage from the dan
gerous contents of the structure,
which is situated in thickly popu-
lated section.
Police reserves removed the bomb
making ingredients, which included
bottles of sulphuric acid, muriatic
acid, sulphate of iron, nitroglycerine
and several pans of white powder.
The plant was elaborately equip
ped. On a work bench were several
chemist scales, mortars for mixing
purposes, a bellows and five gas jets.
The supply of explosives was said by
the police to be fully as complete as
that found in a River street hotel in
February, when Hans Schwartz and
Fritz Kolb were arrested.
Lichenfeldt was held under the
technical charge of being disorder
ly person.

MESSAGES TO BERLIN.
Directions for Destruction of Vessels
Sent Through Swedish Office.

Washington, Sept. 8.-Copies of
three brief dispatches made public by
the State Department today revealed
another case of sinister German di-
plomacy, this time directed against
Argentina and involving the Swedish
foreign Office in an apparent grave
breach of neutrality and diplomatic
propriety.
They were messages to Berlin from
Count Luxberg, the German charge at
Buenos Aires, forwarded by the Swe-
dish legation there as its own COM
munications. Besides advising that
no concession be granted Argentina
in the submarine controversy, they
suggested that the South American
country's ships be sunk without leav-
ing any trace of them, and gave in
formation as to the sailing and the
positions of certain vessels.
The departments announcement
went to the Argentine embassy and
the Swedish legation here at the same
time it was given to the public There
was no explanation as to how the
messages came into the hands of the
United States nor discussion as to
what may be the result.
Created Sensation.
The action created sensation, par
ticularly among the neutral diplo-
mats. Baron Akerheilm, the Swe-
dish charge, in the absence Of advices
from his government, would not
comment further than to say it was
improbable that the Swedish minister
at Buenos Aires knew of the con-
tents of the dispatches. Axel Robert
Nordvail, of the special Swedish eco
nomic mission, declared he was GER
tain that Baron Lowen, the Swedish
minister to Argentina, had no knowl-
edge of the contents of the dispatch.
Moreover, I am sure,". said Mr..
Nordvall, that no Swede would have
been a party to such heartless pro-
ceeding. l know Baron Lowen very
well. He is not in good health and
it is possible that he was unaware
of the sending of any messages. If
the dispatches were in German code,
as | assume they were, even if he
knew they were sent, he could not
have known their contents and may
have thought they were harmless
business messages.
Mr.. Nordvall was of the opinion
that Baron Lowen would be recalled
by the Swedish Government and said
he looked for an explanation and a
disavowal of any intention to COM
nit an unneutral act.

REVEALS DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Bodies of j. Milan Hellams and His
Wife Found, Each With Wound.

Laurens, Sept. 6.-Cold in deaths
embrace and lying near each other
Mr.. and Mrs. J. Milan Hellams
who reside near Tumbling Shoals
were found this morning at 10 o'clock
on the floor of their bed room, with
a pistol wound in the head of each
Under the body of Mr.. Hellams was
found revolver, with two empty
chambers. The theory generally ac-
cepted is that it is case OF murder
and suicide.
The tragedy probably occurred yes
terday afternoon shortly after four
o'clock, as Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Terry
who live near by, testified at the
coroner's inquest this afternoon that
they heard two shots at about that
time. in the direction of the Hellams
home. AS this was not an unusal
circumstance, however, they paid no
attention to it, for it is said Mr.. He'll
ans frequently engaged in target
practice about his home, being an ex-
pert pistol shot.
Verdict of Jury.
The coroner's jury returned YER
dict to the effect that both came to
their death from gunshot wounds in
the hands Of parties unknown to the
jury. The doors to the room were
closed and the window shades pulled
down. About ten minutes elapsed
between the reports of the two shots,
it is said, and the supposition is that
Hellams shot his wife and then pre-
pared the room for his own des-
truction.
Mrs. Hellams was shot through the
temple and her body was in front of
an open dresser, with one foot rest
ing on an overturned chair, which
she probab bly, occupied at the time the
fatal shot was fired. Mrs. Hellams
was shot in the forehead and was ly-
ing face downward On the carpet
were pools of blood and there was
nothing to indicate that either body
had been molested after death.
Robbery Hardly Motive.
That robbery led to the double
tragedy is improbable, as two purses
containing s34 were found in the
pockets of Mr.. Hellams, and in the
satchel of Mrs. Hellams was smaller
sum. Neighbors, becoming suspicious
on not seeing any signs of life about
the Hellams home late yesterday aft
ernoon, and again this morning, de-
cided to make an Investigation, with
the results as stated.
Mr. Hellams was good farmer and
lived in that section of the county all
his life. He was about siXty-eight
years of age. Last winter he married
Miss Deheims, of Lexington County,
who was his second wife. Mrs. Hell
lams was sister of Joe Deheims,
well-known poultry fancier of Lex
ington. One daughter and two sons.
by a former marriage survive Mr..
Hellams.
