EFFECTS OF CONSTIPATION.

Constipation causes a stoppage Of
the sewerage system of the body. The
poisonous refuse matter that should
be carried away is retained in the sys-
tenn and often poisons the blood and
causes numerous disorders. No one
can afford to neglect his bowels A
dose of Chamberlain Tablets will
afford relief. Avoid drastic cathartics,
as they take too much water out of
the system, and their use is likely to
be followed by constipation.

FARM CREDIT BILL
HAS CLEAR TRACK
IN j. s. SENATE

WASHINGTON, July 29.-Bipar-
tisan senate forces yesterday cleared
the way for passage, possibly today
or early next week, on an agricul-
tural credits bill embodying the ad-
ministration plan to make the war
finance corporate the adninistra-
tive agency.
By a vote of 10 to 2, the senate
agriculture committee reported a
new substitute for the Norris, KEEL
1ogg and other agricultural credits
bill. The new measure, presented by
Senator McNary, Republican, Ore
gon, had general backing of Demo-
leaders on both sides said it's pas
sage was assured.
Besides adopting the plan for fur
nishing of agricultural CT edits by
the war finance corporation. the
committee bill would increase the
900 and also authorize direct loans
to producers and foreign govern
ments.
Senator Norris, Republican, Ne
braska, today spoke at length again
4 in support Of his original bill AM
! in bitter criticism of the substitute
plan, which he, with Senator Ladd
Republican, North Dakota, had OPP
posed in committee. The Nebraska
senator declared that all sins
enlarged against the Norris bill ap-
piled with equal force to the substi-
tute, which, he said, proposed 3
z"rake-off" for bankers and would in
crease farmers interest burdens

State Health Board
Reports $50 deaths
From Malaria in 20

The death from malaria of $50 per.
sons in Georgia in 1920, is reported
by the state board of health, which
comments on the report as follows:
TINS is not only sad condition.
but also shows the cheapness of hu.
man life even in this highly civilized
and christianiZed land, since malaria
is not only a preventable condition,
but can be controlled for about enc.
tenth of what the people are now
paying for the privilege of being sick
of this disease.
Incident to the death of these $50
persons there were more than one
and half million wage or working
days lost on account of sickness from
malaria. This, together with the
drug bill, doctors bill and funeral
expenses, represents the loss of more
than $5,000,000.
This condition, however, is by no
means hopeless, as this disease can
be controlled for a small per cent
of what it is actually costing. In
deed ray of hope is seen in the
introduction of a bill in the house
of representatives by Mr.. Vocelle of
Camden county, providing an appro-
priation of $4,000 to he used in
helping malarious communities get
rid of this expensive disease. If this
bill passes, it no doubt will be in
strumental in the saving of hundreds
of thousands of dollars and many hu-
man lives"

S||v|v FEM OBJECTS
To BRITISH TERMS

DUBLIN, July 29.-Sinn Fein to-
day began drafting a rejection of the
principal terms in the British peace
proposal. The Irish will make coun-
ter proposals, regarding the degree
Of self-government, and the rela-
tions to be maintained between III
ster and the southern counties.
The reply probably will not be sent
to London before the middle of next
week. 1t is being drafted from a
trading" viewpoint. That is, the
principal terms in their present neb-
ulous state are turned down, with
the idea that the counter proposals
will lead to further parleys. If the
governments offer is elastic, Lloyd
George is, expected to answer by in
viting De Valera to London for more
conversations. This invitation. it
be accepted. If the government s
proposition is a flat take it or leave
it" offer, the peace negotiations
seemed doomed.
Sim Fein officials here are resent
full at the ;nsistence of the London
generous" They regard the .erms
in their present form as not gener-
Gus.
The Sim Feiners object, in the
first place, to Britain's desire to
maintain military domination over
, Ireland
They also object to the fact that
the offer does not give Ireland do
minion home rule as it exists III Can
ada, South Africa and Australia, Ell
Their as regards freedom to deter
mine it's own course in imperial af-
fairs or freedom from military dom

terms clarified so London will be
eliminated as a connecting link be-
tween Ulster and the south. They
want a united Ireland.

COTTON IS REDUCED
100000 ACRES,
GOVERNMENT SAYS

WASHINGTON, July 29.-An I'M
precedented change in the ratios or
the acreage devoted to leading crops
in the cotton belt had been shown
this year, the department of agri-
culture says, declaring that almost
eleven million acres have been cut
from the cotton, rice and tobacco
acreages and slightly less than two
thirds of this area has been taken
up with wheat, corn, oats, hay, pota'
toes and other crops. The larger part
Of the remainder of the land has
gone back into pasture or is left idle,
The net reduction of land in Guilt
walton in the cotton states still
leaves a larger acreage in cultiva-
ton, however, than before the war,
the department states.
In the ten leading cotton states,
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma
and Arkansas, the cotton acreage
has been reduced 10,194,0oO acres or
% per cent; the rice acreage reduced
100000 acres, or 80 per cent and the
tobacco acreage $4,000 acres, or 81
per cent.
"These reductions which were due
to the unsatisfactory prices for last
years crops resulting from finan-
cial deflation, coupled with heavy
stocks and lessened buying" the de-
partment states, ARE partly offset by
increases in the acreage Of staple
food and feed crops in those states
Corn shows a gain of 4,521 200
acres, or 1S per cent; wheat $4,000
acres or 10 per cent; oats 10000
acres or 13 per cent; hay 413,00Ol
acres or 5 per cent; sorghum and
cane 10000 acres or 10 per cent, and
potatoes 1884, 900 acres or 10 per cent;
a total increase in these six crops
Of 6,483,000 acres. Further offsets to
the remaining difference of 4,423,O0O
acres exist in increased paintings of
cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans and
other less important crops. Albania
alone reported increased paintings of
$4,000 acres of the three crops
named, but these are largely planted
in with corn and are therefore, in
cluded in the acreage Of that crop"
