THE PRESS CONVENTION
• The 43rd session of the North
Carolina Press Association convened
. in Durham Tuesday evening. The
session closes today. .The writer,
after a dozen years, dropped in on
the brethren yesterday evening. We
* had a yearning to see some of them
again. A dozen years had wrought
wonderful changes. We found the
ranks filled with now men. Of those
present whom wo knew when we at
tended regularly wo found Major 11,
A. London of the Pittsboro Record,
Hon. Josephus Daniels of the News
and Observer, Mr. R. R. Clark of
the Statesville Landmark, lion. M.
L. Shipman of the Ilendersonville
Hustlor, lion. 11. 1!. Varner of the
Lexington Dispatch, and Mr. J. IJ.
R> Sherrill of tlio Concord Times.
That's all wo recall wooing, of the
more tliaa an hundred we used to
know, ilowover wo did not find a
full attendance, but wo found a
genial lot of fellows enjoying the
splendid hospitality of the great
"Hull City."
Alfalfa (Lucerne) is a name known
by everyone these days that protends
to be much of a farmer, though it is
not a misstatement to say that there
are some farmers who are regarded
as pretty good ones, who have been
' fairly successful, but do not know
tho plant on sight. Editor Wade
Harris of the Charlotte Observer at
tended the St. Louis convention,
then took a spin over the Ureat
West. He saw the farmers "rolling
in wealth and riding in automo
biles;" he hoard them talking alfalfa
and saw plenty of it on all sides and
he divined tho source of the wealth
Now he is telling the readers of the
Observer about it. It is (toped they
will hoed his words. In this issue
wo publish one of Mr. Hanis' short
articlos—"Alfalfa.Grows Feet
High."
When the Doutschland, the Ger
man undersea merchantman, slip
ped into the Chesapoako May at 1:45
(Sunday morning, after a :i,BOO mile
run under innumerable dangers and
difficulties, there was accomplished
one of the most notable sea voyages
in the world's history—marking an
epoch in navigation. Feel as we
may about tho part of tho Germans
in tho terrible European war, one
cannot help admiring tho ingenuity
that croatod tho craft and tho in
trepidity that steered it to the shores
of Ameiica.
No effort will bo spared to settle
the trouble with Mexico without ac
tual resort to arms, but preparation
on an adoquate scale will not halt
until a proper adjustment is effected.
5 . Ever since the first of this month,
according to repoits; Germany has
heon losing ground and the allies
gaining. It looks like the begin
ning of tho end of the conflict.

In the June Womau's llouit*
Companion a writer says:
"I know plenty of women in
town who pad their bills and cou
nive with their dressmakers so as
to cheat their husbands and get
upending money. I also know
Bomo country women who can't get
their husbands to put running
water in the house, who cook on
old-fashionod-and broken—stoves,
in inconvenient, badly-arranged
kitchens, who have neither va
euuui-cleanor, tireless cooker,
dishwasher, clothoswasher or any
thing else to make work easy.
Thoy don't even get tho egg and
butter money, or they might btly
these things themselves."
The report of Commissioner of

Four Constitutional Amendments
2 Voted on Next Fall.
At the election next fall four
amendmonU to the State consti
tution will be submitted to tiie
- voters for ratification. The amend
ments provide (1) restricting local,
private and Bpecial legislation; (2)
£ to prevent delays in trials by pro !
at viding emergency judges; (3) to
•« prevent special charters, to corpo
>r rations by the General Assembly;
... (1) to prevent special charters
~ towns, cities and incorporated
villages.
, Each of the amendments pro
posed has in it the promise of re
ducing the expense of tho State.
Three of them will relieve the
i. General Assembly of attending to
- various local affairs and give time
to pay attention to legislation of
State-wide interest.
The amendments to restrict
h local, private and special legisla
j tion would relieve the General As
sembly of such matters as estab
e balling county and city courts,
r > appointments of justices of the
n peace, matters relating to ferries,
e bridges, non-navigable streams,
n cemeteries and all that class of
county and town legislation which
could easily be looked after in tho
0 comities and towns. Another
b amendment would allow the Geu
, oral Assembly to prqyide for the
chartering of corporations under
' a general law instead of taking up
■ the time of the Legislature. And
H in the same way general logisla
f tion for city and town charters
would bo provided.
The other amendment is to pro
. vide for emergency judges who
e would take the places of Superior
- Court judges who aro not able to
i. hold court by reason of sickness,
u disability, or other cause. By
means of these special or einer-
J gency judges there would bo no
1 delay or postponement of the
i courts of any county. Thisainend
b iiient is propos'id with the purpose
I of saving money to the counties
of the State, for delays in holding
courts cost money, and it is held
that there would not alone bo a
i saving in dollars and cents by
B having such judges, but that jus
tice would b» expedited.
B Alfalfa 9,000 Feet High.
a Charlotte Observer.
v Iredell, was tho first county in
e the State to voto a big issue of
■ r bonds for the building of good
( roads, and through having done
' this, Iredell not only secured a
II tine system of roads, but gave in-
B spiration to other counties in the
>- State. It begins to look as if
a Iredell is going to pave the way
j to a general cultivation of alfalfa
in North Carolina, the farmers of
1 that county already furnishing an
e object lesson in that tremendous-'
y ly profitable departure in agrieul
e turo. Alfalfa growing in Iredell
is a success from the start and
any farmer in the State knovys
* that alfalfa at SIOO an acre beats
cotton by a considerable percent
age. Alfalfa is a crop that re
quires no labor after it comes to|a
"stand." The only trouble the
'• farmer is put to is tho cutting of
5 it three or four times a year, each
e time securing a crop for which
j there is an ever-ready market at
, profitable prices. The alfalfa
farmer does not need to worry
8 about too much rain or too much
) dry jveather. Alfalfa is a crop
B that takes care of itself. It wel
g comes the rain and grows tho
faster the moro it gets. The dryer
L ' the weather the deeper its roots
1 will go for moisture. Tho pin
- nacle of Genesee Mountain is
, marked by a flagstaff from which
the colors of the country are kept
floating every day. When ouo flag
is worn out by the wind a now
> flag is substituted. On the slop
. itig summit of this mountain,
within a few hundred yards of the
top is au alfalfa farm. It is a
1 small one, to be sure, embracing
. about six acres, but it is a lux
uriant. one. It is flanked by a
residence and two barns, and a
' herd of cows is maintained"by tho
1 owner. This alfalfa farm is O,(KM)
i feet above sea level. At this 010.
. vat ion the troos are stunted, veg
etation is sparse and it is doubt
ful if corn or any other cropcould
bo grown, yet alfalfa seeuis to
flourish there tho same as it would
in tho fertile fields of a valley.
> Tho more we learn about alfalfa
the more firmly are we convinced
that it is the Crop for North Caro
lina. Alfalfa and livestock would
i soon make this section independ
ent of ootton and remove the
farmer from the constant worry
about the weather. There is only
one soil in which alfalfa will not
thrive. That is a soil underlaid
by a rocky strata through which
the roots of the grass cannot pene
trate. And the beauty about it
is that an alfalfa field once estab
lished on a farm is there to stay.

v Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 50-cent bottle of

' spqonful to-night. If it doesn't
• start your liver and straighten you
right' up better than calomel and

1 It's perfectly harmless. Give it to
your children any time. It cant
salivate, so let them eat anything
they want afterwards.
i Rabies or Hydrophobia in Animals.
Tho term "hydrophobia" was
r employed as a name for the dis
. ease of rabies at a time when it
B was thought that fear of the sight
. of water was one of the best symp
toms in its determination. Tho
) disease, like many others, occurs
» in nearly all countries.
0 It is principally a canine dis
. ease, being seen mostly in dogs,
. anil usually transferred from dog
\ to dog, dog to man, or dog t > other
1 animals. Only a few animals are
not susceptible to it. Other than
the dog, most cases reported to
the Veterinary Division have been
, in cattle. A number have been
0 made where hogs were affected,
j and several in horses and sheep.
B Dr. G. A. Roberts was recently
f called to one county where there
was a suspicious outbreak in cat
t tie. Seven head out of a herd of
. eighty cows in one pasture died,
. and the clinical symptoms were
. typical of rabies. However, the
t brain from one of tho animals was
j removed and sent to the labora
t tory, where the bodies which are
so characteristic of the disease
■ wore found in the cellular struc
-1 turo of the brain. Some dogs
which had -been showing symp
■ toms of rabies had also been killed
. in the neighborhood, and other
> deaths had occurred in cattle and
• sheep. This all went to prove that
i the cattle had died of rabies.
I Tho identity of the specific cause
of tho diseaso has not been accept
i ed by all investigators, though
many of them believe it to be* an
animal organism represented by
i the "Negri Bodies" mentioned
above.
The natural manner of trans
mission of the disease is by means
of introducing saliva into or under
the skin with the bile of an in
fected animal. With few excep
tions, the bite is from a dog. If
he is not infected, the bite cannot
i result in the disease, nor will the
i bite from all infected animals de
velop rabies. The failure to know
this fact has made many so-called
, "mad-stones" famous. *■
The length of time occurring
between the bite of the animal and
the devejopment of the disease
varies from a few weeks to several
mouths in rare instances. Dogs
bitten by another suspicious dog
should be kept confined and under
observation for at least 'two
months, though most cases will
develop in one-half the t mo.
There are two forms of rabies
most commonly observed in dogs.
One is tho "furious" and the other
the "dumb," and the terms used
are descriptive of the general
symptoms of each. Paralysis, in
dicated by an inability to swallow
feed or water, is present iu the
latter stages of each form. A
positive diagnosis may be made
iu many cases from the symptons
alone, but in other cases a labor
atory examination is necessary.
This consists first of a micro
scopical examination of some of
the brain substances, and if the
bodies are found a positive diag
nosis is made. Otherwise it will
bo necessary to reproduce the dis
ease iu a small laboratory ani
mal before such a diagnosis can be
rendered.
Another and much preferable
laboratory tost is now in process
of development. This consists of
taking a sample of blood from a
living or healthy person or animal
which has been bftten by a dis
eased animal and submitting the
sample to a test. In this case it
will not be necessary to wait until
symptoms develop or the animal
dies to dotormiue the infection.
Such a tost will the au
thorities to use the Pasteur pre
ventive treatment on only such
pei-sons or animals whose blood
shows a positive reaction.

i. Rule* ot Health and Long Life.
H John D. Rockefeller, the world's
- richest man, was 77 years old on
1 the Bth of July. His physician for
1 25 years is Dr. 11. F. Bigger, Br, of
B Cleveland, O. The Dr. says the oil
h magnate will live to be 100 years
old. The following rules of health,
" which Mr, Rockefeller is following,
'/ 'are laid down by Dr. Bigger :
* Tlie average span of life ha#
„ lengthened. Three hundred years
, ago the average period of life was
j less than 20 years. Today it is
1 more than 40.
, And if the men, women and
children of today, continue to im
' prove certain habits of life the
f span of life should be lengthened
B to 100 or even more!
To attain age without being
C aged you must follow certain
rules.
' First of all, don't worry.
B Daily worryin - for no good rea
j sou weakens body and mind. Then
when the real cause comes for
t wo.ry, the reserve torce of the
, body has all been used up.
We hear much of diet these
, days. The chief thing to remem
ber is this:
I Do not acquire overweight if you
p would acquire length of years,
j Underweights live longer than
t overweights. Escaping consump
tion in early life, the underweight
j is fairly safe, while the over
weight seldom attains old age. He
; usually succumbs to some disease
( of the heart, brain or stomach, or
, to diabetes.
I The accepted standard ot weight
of a man at 40 is 150 pounds, and
h'H height is five feot six inches.
, For every inch above this height
r add three per cent, of the weight.
Drink enough water between
meals to keep ctear of eye and
p piifk of akin.
Fresh, pure waW>r, two or throe
J quarts a day, will make that
brave little machine, your heart,
, rejoice in having good, clean
fluid to work upon. s
Be sure to exercise.
Exercise makes it possible for
[ muscle to throw off its waste. Kx
! ercising in bed, if practiced every
day, is better than 30 holes of
! golf on a Saturday and a swivel
, chair the rest of the week.
More energy is stored up in
, sleep than in any other way. The
i conditions of sleep have improved.
It is customary now to sleep with
, fresh air, whereas a century ago
only supposed freaks risked ex
. posing themselves to night air.
There is something in the adage
about beauty sleep.
Sleep after sundown carries
, you farther than sleep after mid
, light.
Early retiring, moreover, makes
, for an even-tempered mind.
Moses, who taught the former
slaves oI Egypt principles of life

died, yet his eye was not dim nor
his natural force abated."

i
The average annual toll of typhoid fever in our array before vaccination
1 was begun was 536 cases and 37 deaths per 100,000 soldiers. In 1910
the treatment was made optional and the rate fell to 23?. cases and 16
' deaths. In March, 1911, the treatment was made compulsory and the
rate fell to 80 cases and 11 deaths. In 1912 there were only 26 cases and
three deaths. There have been no deaths in the army since 1912.
Immunity lasts from two to four years, perhaps longer. Take rour en
tire family to the most convenient dispensary and be immunized. Three
. treatments are necessary to give complete immunity.
S Therefore be sure to visit a dispensary on the opening date to secure

What North Carolinians Are Do'ig
the World Over.
Speaking recently to North Care '
linians resident in Atlanta, District
Attorney F. D. Winston told a story
of the activities and achievements of
North Carolinians that is out of the
common. He said:
,- We rejoice over the achievements
of our absent sons here, and else
where. They daily give us cause
boastfully to exclaim when others
recite their worthy deeds, 'He was
born in North Carolina.' They are
at work in every land; in every
country of the old world; in the
Awakening Orient; remodeling the
acqueducts of the Caesars, and re
pairing the Bridge of Sighs. In
London a North Carolinian is build
ing an electric railway with Ameri
can capital, and another is there the
master of trade the world over," he
said.
A North Carolina drummer sells
blankets in Manchester and another
more enterprising disposes of razors
and blades on the streets of Damas
cus,
"The fastest train in Continental
Europe is engineered hy a native of
Guilford county and North Carolina
engineers pull the throttle up the
slopes of the Andes, in African jun
gles and across the island of Japan.
A North Carolina contractor has
thrown a cantilever bridge over the
river on the road to Mandalay. An
engineer, graduate of our A. and M.
College at Raleigh, installed the ma
chinery which lights the most south
ern beacon on the habitable globe at
Terra del Fuego, and a Bertie coun
ty sawyer cuts timber today in the
far north of Sweden in the light of
the midnight sun.
'"A North Carolina plumber in
stalled the electric plant at Bagdad
which outshines the lamp of far
famed Aladdin. Todaya North Caro
linian is carrying laundry machinery

Germany improved machinery for
brewing lager beer. The listless l
looking coolie by his tepee in India
cpols himself with ice made on a'
Charlotte ice machine, and a North
Carolina gin outfit g'ns cotton in the
islands of the seas.
"From the coves of Yancey and
the mountain fastnesses of Watauga
we are shipping cheese to the sol
diers fighting near the Swiss border.
The world rocks in comfort in North
Carolina chairs, and chambers and
palaces of royalty are beautiful and
gorgeous with High Point furni
ture."
Pool rooms are falling under
the ban. Asheville has refused
to license pool rootns in certain
sections of the city, the police al
leging that these places are breed
ers of crime. Newton commis
sioners have under consideration
a request of the ministers to re
voke pool room license, on the
ground that pool rooms are sources
of evil; and the Newton authori
ties cut out the carnivals by pro
viding that they can't set up their
tents within 300 yards of a church
or dwelling.

An6ther pathetic little feature
of the situation is recalling that

James Leland Stamford, a highway
engineer, who made a nation wide In
vestigation of road work for the na
tional committee on prisons, which Is
Interested In promoting road building
by convicts, snyg in regard to the lack
of efficient supervision of road work
generally:
"In forty-four states comity road
worf Is carried on under the supervi
sion of county commissioners; in other
states It Is under the control of the
sheriff. These authorities are not train
ed for their work, and the road work Is
costly and Inefficient. Alt counties car
rying on road work should obtain the
service* of a county road engineer who
Is acceptable to the state road authori
ties and able to work in co-operation
jrith them."

, vital aspects of country life as tho
country church nnd Sunday school,
the country community and home,
club work for boys and girls,
farm co-operation and credit, com
munity health and health officers,
country high schools and farm
lifg schools, neighborhood socials
anil field days, made the Country
Life Institute at the University

tor countty life problems in North »

, spective fields presented the prac
tical Bide of their work, and threw
, light on difficult problems. Over
, 150 people registered for the In
stitute.
President Graham, in welcom
• ing the visitors, stated that the
University had been trying to find
out what the people of the State
are thinking by calling people
here to conference. The modern
: University, he continued, must
concern itself with such things as
corn clubs, pig clubs, and the like.
Some connection has to be made
between the theory in our church
( es and our education and the prac
tical daily life of our people. Our
salvation depends upon our own
mastery of our situation.
In speaking of the .country
ehur, h, Rev. J. M. Arnette of Me
bane asserted that those churches
pre growing where the church re- -
lates itself to the social life of the
people. Dr. Archibald Johnson
insisted that the country church
should have preaching every Sun
day. The country minister nhould
have his church home and identify
himself with the community. In
discussingthecountry community,
Prof. W. C. Crosby said that tile
country people have long suspect
ed that there is something wrong »i
with country life. But the trouble
lies primarily with the country
people themselves. There must
be leadership with vision in every
community. , -
Friday was observed as Country""
Health Day. Such timely topics
were considered as whole health
officers, community nurses and
child welfare campaigns. -Dr. G.
M. Cooper of Raleigh declared
that all progress comes through
educational enlightenment, yet
one-fourth of our children of
school age are out of school. Prof.
N. W. Walker regarded the farm
life schools as the light of the
community. Better business, bet
ter farming, better living are the
concern of the schools. There
are now 19 farm life schools in 16
counties of the State. Mr. Walker
believes there should be one in
each county. The Institute closed
Sunday with sermons on social
service in all the Chapel ~Hil}
churches.. «i , ty

versity, July 40-15, will be de

HillouaneM and stomach Trouble.
"Two years ago I suffered from
frequent attacks of stomach trou
ble and biliousness," writes Mrs.
Emma Verbryke, Lima, Ohio. "1
could eat very little food that
agreed with me, and I became so
dizzy- and sick at my stomach at.
times that I had to take hold of
something to keep from falling.
