BEWAREOF
LAXATIVES
If You Are Constfpated and Have
Malaria In Your System
Read The Following

The only way to overcome consti-
patton and the resultant ills is to get
your liver in good working order. By
taking just laxatives you do not touch
the liver. One man of our acquain-
lance was a sufferer from constipa-
ton for years. He had taken salts,
OIL, pills and various laxatives until
his skin was like parchment. The man
actually looked twenty years older
than he was. He had gotten in such
shape that he never had a natural
bowel movement and even the
various laxatives that he was using
had to gradually be increased to get
any effect.
He was never well and yet could,
II asked, point to no special illness.
he was a victim of general ills-all
caused from one trouble-if he had
but known it. 1t took only one bot
tie of PLANK'S BLOOD MEDICINE
to give this man new lease on life
and after six bottles he is now as
fat, rosy and health as he was when
he was a boy. The secret of his won
derful recovery is in the action of
this scientific preparation on the liy-
er and blood. He never takes a lax
alive now and the bowels are regu-
lar. The digestion is good The i'm
ing of the stomach and bowels are
now able to absorb nourishment from
the food which had been passing out
OF the body unassimilated.
This grave condition was due to
LAXATIVES which do not ASSIST
NATURE, but instead sap the life
from the walls of the stomach and
bowels.

druggist, and all good drug stores.

TALK MASTERFUL
So Says Moultrie Cham
Der Secretary Of His
School Address

The Moultrie Observer reports the
speech in Colquitt county last week
Of Col j. E. D. Ship, of Americas,
as follows:
"Ty Ty district turned out Friday
in full force at the big barbecue and
better school rally, held in the grove
near G. M. Robinson's home. The
long dinner tables around which the
men, women and children gathered
fairly cried aloud with every manner
of good things to eat. But the men
and women of Ty Ty are to be con-
graduated for the serving of such
royal treat from beef and pork barbe
cue to pie and cake along with every
thing else between which would be
calculated to tempt healthy appe-
tite.
"Visitors were there from a num-
Der of sections of the county.
County School Superintendent
Thaxton made splendid talk on the
school problem of the county, show
ing by facts and figures in con-
elusive manner that after all the con-
solidated school costs less and is
worth FIVE times as much measured
by the benfts to the children, as COM
pared to hte one two teacher shoots
trying to teach all grades.
"Hon. J. E. D. Ship, of Ameri-
Gus, brother of Judge R. L. Ship,
of Moultrie, was the chief speaker
of the day. Mr.. Shipp halls from a
county which has few if any equals
county which has few if any equals
in the matter of education for the
rural districts. Sumter county is
just now in process of completing a
comprehensive consolidated school
system for all of her people. Mr..
Shipp has been one of the dominant
figures in the Sumter county move
ment.
GAS a speaker Mr.. Shipp is only
less pleasing than he is convincing.
He covered every phase Of the rural
school problem of the present hour,
and did not fail to pay tribute to-
teaching as one of the most noble of
callings but one Of the least appre-
ciated in substantial way when it
comes to remuneration for those who
choose the profession. His summing
up of: the benefits to the children, as
we'll as the parents, and the infiu-
ence for good upon the ~enral COM
munity, insofar as the soundness Of
the consolidated school idea is con-
cerned was unanswerable. His adj
dress was listened to with the keen
est interest and left a profund i'm

MARSHAL FOCH TO
SURVEY SITUATION
DOUBT EXPRESSED HERE OF RE-
PORT HE WILL PLAN MILL
TARY DRIVE.
WILL ADVISE THE POLES
Military Situation in Baltic States Also
Expected to Come Under Scrutiny
of the Great French Com
mander.

Washington.-Off here are con
fident that Marshal Foch of France,
reported as about to leave Paris for
Warsaw, will not go to Poland to ar
range an allied drive against the Rus
sian Bolsheviki. While official con-
firmation of the plan of Marshal Foch
has not yet been received, it has been
expected for some time.
The understanding here is that the
former allied-American commander
in-chief is merely going to Warsaw
and the present eastern fighting
fronts to make a general survey OF
the situation, primarily with view
to determining what Poland requires
for her army in the way of military
equipment, ammunition and other sup.
plies.
1t is expected Marshal Foch also
will visit the Denikine front and
probably Roumania, since there is a
prospect that the Bolsheviki army
also may seek to wrest Bessarabia
from Roumania. The military situa-
ton in the Baltic states also is ex.
pected to come under the scrutiny
Of the great French commander.
There have been no limitations
whatever, however, that the supreme
council has determined to take ag.
gressive military action against the
Bolsheviki, certainly not unless the
red army attempts to smash the Pol
ish army. Poland has perhaps half
million troops and properly armed and
equipped II is believed they will be
more thar able to hold their own
against any forces the Bolsheviki
may send against them The Poles
even without adequate equipment
with few men in uniform and many
in rags, so far have not yielded to the
Bolsheviki at any important point.
Marshal Foch is expected to advise
with the Polish authorities regarding
the ACCESSIBILITY Of drawing in the
fighting front to point which ap
proximates the frontier OF New Pc
land as tentatively outlined at Paris
The Polish army now is far from the
border of Poland and one reason for a
possible Bolsheviki military onslaught
against it in force would be to push
the line off Russian territory. the
advance into Russian territory was
made at least in part against the
advice OF the supreme council, but
in connection with the forward move
ment Of Denikine's forces when 1t ap
peared the Cossack commander would
succeed In eliminating the Bolshevik
forces.

HOLLAND WILL NOT
GIVE UP WILHELM
HOLDS THAT PEACE TREATY Is
NOT BINDING ON THE
NETHERLANDS.
ANSWERS ALLIED POWERS
Constituent Laws of Country Have
Made 1t Refuge for this Van
quished in international
Conflicts.

Paris.-Holland's reply to the allied
kaiser for trial is an unqualified re-
fusal The reason for rejection OF
the allied demand as set forth in the
official note signed by Van Karnebeek,
minister of foreign affairs, is that the
right of sanctuary has been tradition
of the Dutch nation for centuries and
that in addition the laws of the ma
ton forbid the surrender to an out
side power of any person who has
sought refuge within its borders.
Among other things, the reply says:
1.-THE queen has the honor to OBJ
serve, first, that obligations which
for Germany could have resulted from
article 22S of the treaty of peace can
not serve to determine the duty Of
Holland, which is not a party to the
treaty.
1.-THE government of the queen.
moved by imprescriptible reasons,
cannot view the question raised by
the demands Of the powers except
from the point of view of its own
duty. 1t was absolutely unconnected
with the origin Of the war and has
maintained, and not without difficult
ty, it's neutrality to the end. 1t finds
itself then face to face with facts Of
the war in a position different from
that of the powers
at rejects with energy all suspicion
OF wishing to cover with its sovereign
right and its moral authority viola
tons of the essential principles of the
solidarity of nations; but it cannot
recognize an international duty to as
sociate itself with this act of high
international policy of the powers.
Now, neither the constituent laws
of the kingdom, which are based upon
the principles of law universally rec
ognized. nor a respectable secular ira
6ition which has made this country
always a ground of refuge for the
vanquished In international conflicts,
permit the government OF Holland to
defer to the desire Of the powers by
withdrawing from the former emperor
the benefit of its laws and this tradi'
ton.
Justice and national honor. OF which
respect is a sacred duty, oppose this.
The Netherlands people. moved by
the sentiments to which in history
the world has done justice, could not
betray the faith Of those who have
confided themselves to their free in.
