i Knowledge and Practice of. Correct Daily Habit the Great Essential Constipation is a condition affecting ell classes of all people and can b permanently relieved only by acquir- ing habits of regularity. ! “The most natural time for the elim- inative process is in the morning wken both the muscular and nervous systems are relaxed by sleep and rest. ‘When relief does not come readily, it is an excellent plan to take a mild lax- ative at bedtime. Cathartics and pur- gatives, that .by the violence of their | quick action shock and disturb the | system, should not be employed. | " An effective laxative ramedy that is very dependable, and which does not gripe or otherwise disturb the organs . involved, is found in a combination of simple laxative herbs known as Dr. | Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin _that can be | bought at the drug store for fifty cents a bottle. Mrs. C. C. Allen, 215 Foam St.,, New Monterey, Calif., wrote to Dr. Cald well that she “found Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin just what was needed for constipation and distress of the stomach after eating. It should be in every household.

House Washington, Feb. 4—Confidential marksmanship records of the navy were detailed to the house naval com- mittee behind closed doors today by Capt. C. C. Plunkett, sunnery officer of the department. At an open Ses- sion he discussed the subject in gen- era] terms and said the appropriation made last Vear to provide prizes for gun pointers would have been insuffi- cient had not the gualifications under which they were to be earned been raised by the department. “They got a burst of speed,” said Captain Plunkett, referring to the gun pointers, “and would have swamped us.” Captain Plunkett said approximately 50 per cent. of the enlisted force of the navy from ships’ cooks to petty officers had qualified as marksmen in rifle practice. He defined a marksman the lowest rifle rating, as a man able. to nail anything at 200 yards” | RECORD TRADE WITH SOUTH AMERICA Imports for 1915 Were $320,000,000 and | Exports $145,300,000.

Yark hhow; leaded guilty to the charge ‘hird district court, Friday, and Judge ‘Williams suspended sentence upnnm ment of costs amo ing to $8.40, which Graham promptly pi handing Clerk Roche & crisp had been hectoring him all day applied the vilest term that could be applied to any man that had respect for his mother. The accused said it was the first time he had ever been in a fight, had never been arrested be- fore and was never in a police cell un- til Wednesday night, when he was ar- rested. Shea continued calling him hard names in the hotel and Graham said he picked up a small piece of brick that he used to keep his room door open and struck Shea with it sev- eral times. He announced that he had recommendations from everywhere he had been employed before coming to Westerly in 1908, when he went to work at the Nash Inn. He had never been in trouble before and the vile ref- erence made to his mother by Shea made him almost crazy. He said he ad a good father and mother, good Christians, and that he never used vile language or did any wrong before. He was a graduate of Livingstone col- lege in North Carolina. He owned property in North Carolina and had a bank account in New Jersey, and tried to be a good living man. Town SoWcitor Agard said the state did not ask for a severe sentence in this case, as Graham bore a good rep- utation and was an orderly citizen. At the time of the assault. Shea was drunk and disorderly. While the state would not admit that the assault was Jjustified, it surely was provoked. Judge Williams said he disdked to give Graham a court°record, that the state of Rhode Island did not want a small fine and the circumstances did not, warrant the imposition of a large fine. The court hinted that if Graham had consulted counsel a plea of guiity would not have been entered. The court suspended sentence for thirty days upon payment of costs, adding that Graham would be around hgre during that period and that then more would be known of him. Graham re- plied: “O, T'll be here; and I warrant you that henceforth I'll never trouble trouble. I'm sorry this thing happen- ed, but never again. Silas Randall, of Hopkinton, arrest- ed in Wesgerly by Chief Brown and Policeman Curtin, and turned over to Sheriff Wilcox, who filed a _complaint against him for the eheft of four do- mestic fowl, to the value of $16, from William R. Wells, of Hopkinton, was arraigned in the Third district court, Friday, and entered a plea of mnot guilty. Randall asked that the trial of his case be continued for one. He had no counsel and said he did not intend to engage counsel. He had made no arrangement for trial and asked continuance. He could give no reason why the trial should not pro- ceed, but he would like a continuance and would be ready for trial next Friday. Judge Williams said Randall was charged with a serious offense that carried with it a vear in prison and a heavy fine, or both, and that he did not like to ignore the appeal of the accused for continuance. Town Solicitor Agard urged immedi- ate trial on the ground that witnesses for the state had been summoned. that the accused was not out on bail, and that his recommittal to jail and bring- ing him back to court would increase the costs. He said that Randall, ex- perienced in court procedure, was planning to take an appeal to the su- nd that could be done to perior court Judge Williams granted the request for continuance and impressed upon Randall that the case would be tried next Friday. When Randall learned that if the case had been tried his appeal would reach the February session of the superior court, but that now the case cannot reach the superior court until June and that it means an extra stay of four months in the Kingston jail, he saw his mis- take, George T. Kenyon, arrested by Dep- uty Game Warden Harry Kingsley, charged with shooting and selling gam, birds out of season, pleaded nolo, when the complaint was changed charging him with the sale of five quail and four partridge, a total of nine, instead of 18 birds. The case was prosecuted by Attorney Everett A. Kingsley, who ask- ed for the full punishment as pre- scribed by law, which was a fine of $20 for each bird. He said Kenyon was a noted violator of the game laws, an old hand at the game, who boasted he would continue to hunt and sell game birds. Attorney Ledwidge called the atten- tion of the court to a revision of the statute which fixed the penalty not to exceed $20, which had been interpreted by other district courts that the amount of fine was discretionary with the court and not specifically fixed by statute. FHe said his client pleaded nolo in consideration of the reduction ' STONINGTON Boy Scouts to Observe Anniversary in price but are low in upkeep and Weéek—Dr. Clarence D.

The great dang- er is the American government will bring other matters to a decision sim- ultaneously, clearly with the object that if no arrangement is reached with Germany over the general question of submarine warfare it will act as a cover for weighty decisions that may be reached behind the - bitterness which has remained in the minds of the American people since the torpe- doing of the Lusitania. The consider- ations of our rights and the moral ground that support us will have very little influence on the actions of the United States.” The newspaper argues that Germany has to decide whether it is possible, or desirable, to fight against the whole world for the sake of a principle. At the present moment, it is declared, a breach with America would mean a considerable prolongation of the war as American intervention would des- troy the calculations built on the col- lapse of Great Britain's power.

Vineyard Haven, Mase., Feb. 4.— Three men were drowned today whef Barge No. 12 of the Consolidation Coal company. in tow of the steamer Charles F. Mayer, was sunk off Point Judith in a collision with the steamer Howard, bound from Norfolk to Prov- idence. Captain Seamen of the barge jand two of his crew, who, it is be- lieved wers asleep at the time, were lost, while the Howard rescued two others and took them to Providence. The Mayer was coming up the coast from Sewalls Point for Portsmouth, N. H, with two coal laden barges. She had swung in past Block Island and was heading across to Gay Head, shortly before daylight, when the How- ard attempted to cross her stern. Number 12 was the first of the two barges and the Howard struck her on the starboard side just about midships. By using her searchlight, the How- ard was able to rescue two men be- fore the barge went down. The Mayer picked up the second barge and ar- rived here late today. the project for a new commercial agreement with Spain and the plan for a direct steamship line between the United States and the western coast of Spain.
