JUDGE DRAFTS ALSO
TO REQUIRE PROOF

George S. Drafts, probate judge
of Lexington, has joined the judges
of probate who will require doctors
prescription as evidence that the
whiskey for which permits are re-
quested is for medicinal purposes.
Judge Drafts writes: "In reply to
your letter of recent date will on
March 10 start with a physicians
prescription to issue permits" ;"
The Record asked all the probate
judges in the State to outline their
practice which they will employ in
satisfying themselves that the whis-
key for which permits to purchase
was asked, would be for medicinal
purposes. A large majority of the
probate judges replying wrote that
they would require a doctors pre-
scription as the best evidence as to
the intentions of the applicant.
The new law is effective March 10
Probate Judge Bellinger of Richland
was an early advocate of the doctors
prescription to establish the fact that
the whiskey was for medical pur-
poses. He explained that by this
method he employed what he consid-
cred the strongest testimony COW
ering the point.-Columbia Record.

BODIES OF NAVAL MEN
WHO DIED ACROSS
OCEAN SENT HOME

Base American Flotilla in British
Waters, March 1.-The bodies Of
four American naval men who have
died over here have just been ship
ped back home or board a United
States naval supply ship. A brief
funeral service-the first of its
kind to be held here-took place on
the quarter deck of the supply ship
when the bodies, in sealed laden cas-
kets, were received on board. The
ship had just finished unloading A
merican supplies at a dock so that
several hundred townspeople were
able to witness the funeral service
from points of vantage ashore.
All flags on the American and Brit
ish men-of-war were half-masted dur
ing the service, which was conducted
by the chaplain of the American flo
tilla flagship. The coffins were
placed in the center of the deck and
each was covered with " Old Glory
while grouped about were several
bluejackets. The reading of the
funeral service over, the band from
the flagship played "Nearer, My God
to Thee. Then the coffins were
lowered into the ships hold. All the
time the service was in progress the
civilian onlookers stood with barred
heads.
One of the bodies was that of Dud.
ley W. Queen, surgeon on one of the
destroyers, who came to the navy
from Texas and whose death is the
first from disease since the arrival OF
the American forces over here. The
other three victims of accidents or
board their ships. They were Will
liam Lusso, an electrician of Kansas
City and Martin O'Callaghan and
John Rourke, water tenders.
There also took place the other
day the first burial of an American
naval man at sea from an American
destroyer over here. He was Willis
Martin Goodrow, a machinists' mate
whose home was in Charleston, S. c.
He was killed in an accident on board
ship and was buried in U-boat in
tested area.
One o'clock on a bright January
afternoon was chosen as the time for
the service. The body was placed in
canvas casket. Draped with the
stars and stripes, it reposed on the
after-deck of the ship while the blue
jackets listened to the Episcopal bu-
rial prayer read by their commanding
officer. This over, the destroyer
was brought to a stop for 80 seconds

She has given her attention entirely to
the war and to the various domestic
questions that are troubling England.
II wish the Irish would only make ur
their minds on what they want" she
said. Lloyd George has made a brave
attempt to please them but the lrist
people live in the past and cherish theil
| grievances"

Strength and
How to Gain II
Instead of Exercises, Patent Foods and
Medicines, Take Phosphate with
Your Meals

The demand today is for men and
women who ARE strong in every sense
of the word-possessing the physical
strength necessary to endure hardships
and fatigue; the mental strength to
grapple with difficult problems; the
nervous force which endows the body
with vigor and vitality; the will pow
er to triumph over adversely and turn
defeat into victory.
But such glorious strength is impos-
sible so long as your nerves are weak
and exhausted, and therefore if you
would be really strong you must first
care for your nerves. Weak, exhausted
nerves need food and for this purpose
physicians strongly recommend the use
of the organic phosphate known among
druggists as bitro-phosphate and put
up in 5-gr. compressed tasteless tab
let's.
If your feel your strength is failing
from any cause, get supply of these
bitro-phosphate tablets and stake one
with every meal. Practically all of the
minor ailments afflicting mankind, as
well as many of the more serious mala-
dies, can be traced to nervous exhaus-
tion and lowered vitality, and probab
ly this explains why such remark
able improvement in the general health
is invariably noticeable when bitro-
phosphate is taken as directed, as the
nerves are thereby, revitalized and
made strong.
