Ccnstiption and Indigestion.
These are twin evils. Persons
suffering from indigestion are
of ten troubled with, constipation,
Mrs Robison Allison, Matoon, 111,
writes that she was a great suf
ferer from indigestion and consti
pation. Food distressed her and
there was a feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on her stomach
and chest. She did not rest well
. at night, and felt worn out part
of the time. One bottle of Cham
berlain's Tablets corrected this
trouble so that she has ' since felt
like a different person.

m convention here yesterday;
could not nominate, they merelr
could- indorse and recommend.
Despite the removal of power
trom the convention, significant
party history was made. A plat
form accepted by the delegates
as solid and sound was adopted
unanimously and men were
named as the delegates' choice
for the important places on the
ticket. . -

For Associated justices, 1 Judge
H li Starbuck of Winston-Salem,
md H F Sewall, of Carthage.
For corporation commissioner,
J J Jenkins of Silver City.
The convention reccommended
careful selection ot" candidates
for Congress in each district;
and gave the same advice in re
spect to thechoosing of. men to
run for the judgeships in the
state judicial system open this
year afld for the solicitorship of
all the 20 districts. The indorse
ment of the districts conventions'
choice in each case is to receive
the seal of the State executive
committee.
The executive committee was
elected and men were named for
the party club in eastern., and
western NorthCarblinaT lfy ac
ciamation Frank A Linney, of
Jioone, Watauga county, was re
elected state chairman, and the
convention wanted to show sirai
lar approval of Gilliam Grissom,
of-Greensboro, secretary, but it
was pointed out that the com
mittee must name its own secre
tary. A H Price was named as a
member of the Republican club
from Salisbury.
SerMa Yielded Wilhout Avail.
bpeaking in Washington the
other day, Minister' Michailov-
itch of Serbia declared that his
nation made every effort, suffer
ed everj- humiliation in order to
avoid the present war
"When on the 23rd of July,
1914,' said the minister, "Aus
tria addressed to Serbia the well
known ultimatum My country
knew that a powerful neighbor-
desired war. Bu' she also knew
that this war would set fire to
the whole of Europe. She there
fore, decided to make every con
cession in order to avoid this tre
mendous conflict.
"Cseroia consented to imprison
innocent people: to discharg-e
from the army, officers who had
committed no crime; to suppress
patriotic societies; to offer apolp
gies for deeds of which no one in
Serbiawas guilty, to revise the
program of her schools and even
to change the paragraphs of the
constitution, in order to bev able
to suppress liberty of speech and
of the press demanded by Aus
tria."
And all these concessions
Availed not because the German
t influence, which controlled Aus
tria, was determined to have war
believing that the hour had
struck to put' into execution her
long cherished programme of
world domination.

A number of North Carolina
hotel men, with several hundred
other important hotel men of the
country, have pledged themselves
to banish wheat products from
their bills of fare uutil next har
vest. The Food Administration
does not think that it is fair to
the hotels and restaurants that
are co-operating, to thi house
holds that are co-operaiing, and
least of all fair to our soldiers
and the soldiers of our Allies in
Europe, to allow any unpatriotic,
self interested, establishments to
disregard the program, and the
State Food Administra-tor Henry
A Page has addressed a frank,
vigorous letter to the hotels and
restaurauts in the State which is
designed to secure their immedi
ate and rigid observance of the;
entire conservation program.
In his letter to theu.hotel -and
aTndrestriurant men. Mr'Page de
clares:
"You are required to- rigidly
observe jwheatless Mondays and
Wednesdays, and at least one
wheatless meal each day. On
hese wheatless days' and at
wheatless meals no wheat prod
ucts of any sort
should be served, not even Vic-
ory bread, because . Victory
bread contains up to 75 per cent
of wheat flour. At every meal,
corn meal or other cereal products
should be served in preference to
other wheat products, and bis
cuits or wheat bread should be
served only when they are specifi
cally requested. As above stated
the utmost caution in the
use of fats and sugar is also re
quired. The far famed 4 Hen and pull
et" - order of ?the Food Admini
stration which he came effective
February 1st and which was de
signed to prevent the slaughter
of laying stock during the heavy
laying and breeding season has
accomplished its purpose so well
that the Food Administration
has amended the order to -make
it expire Friday night the 19ih in
stead of the 30ih instant. The
order has resulted in an increase
of several million dozen to the
egg supply of the country.
