food crops for man and beast and to
conserve their live stock.

RAISE MORE FOOD CROPS,
Says President Farmers' Union of Ala
s mance, Edgar Lone, to Aid
in World-War Crisis.
Editor of The Oleauer:
It is very apparent that (luring
the crisis through which our coun
try is about to pass that the farm
er ifi to play a most important
part. Id was Napoleon that said
"an army travels on ita belly."
Woodrow Wilson says that fur
nishing the warriors in the simplest
part of our task in thirf great
world-war. Food for our own
people aud for our allies is the
greatest problem before the Ameri
can people. The present indica
tions are that the real farmers of
our republic are not going to be
called to the front in actual bat
tle, but are going to be called
upon in no uncertain terms to
supply the sinews of war in the
shape of foodstuff. The world's
supply of grain is very short.
Prices are the highest ever known
and still going higher.
As President of the Farmers'
Union of Alamance county, I want
to insist that every member of our
profession exert himself to raise
more food crops. Jet us beeijual
to the occasion and show ourselves
every inch men.
First. The world needs all we
can raise at good prices.
Second. It is our patriotic duty
to make the supreme effort of our
lives to help our country in tbe
great effort she is making to help
humanity. I am glad to say that
reports from different sections of
the county seem to affirm my sin
cere belief, that the farmers can
always be relied upon to do their
part in any emergency.
Finally, brethren, get real busy,
and if the good Lord will ouly
bless us with good seasons let us
show to the world just what an
honest effort can accomplish.
Eihjak Long.

HABITS AND GERMS
Only 2 Percent Die of Old Age.
That habits, bad habits Of
course, cause more deaths than
germs is the statement made to
day by the Stale Hoard of Health
iu its latest bulletin. A study of
the causes of death in a number
of Slates, says the bulletin, has
shown that about 50 percent of
all deaths are due to diseases
caused by bad habits, that about
40 percent are due to infection or
germs, and that the remaining 10
percent are due to miscellaneous
eauKCH, accidents, old age, etc. As
to old age, however, the only re
spectable disease of which a mau
can die, according to Dr. Harvey
W. Wiley, it was found that only
2 percent died of this disease or
rather met a respectable death:
I'robably the most important
diseases and the faulty living
habits causing them are diseases
of the kidneys, heart and blood
vessels due to excessive eating and
drinking, particularly the eating
of meat, constipation, the abuse
of tobacco, and the lack of exer
cise; diseases of the nervous sys
tem duo largely to tho habit of
worrying, nagging, poor sleeping
and probably the drug habit; then
there are the diseases of the diges
tive system which are due largely
to faulty personal hygiene, per
haps a wrong diet, irregular hab
its, constipatiou and lack of fresh
air and exercise as well as rest
and recreation.
While the breaking of old habits
anil the making of uew ones, sug
gests the bulletin, is the only
logical remedy for this condition,
there must be croatod a more
geueral regard for the health ef
fects of proper personal hygiene.
Health is largely a personal mat
ter. It is coming to rest more and
more with the individual as to
whether he lives a long life anil a
healthy one or a short life and a
sickly one. Not heredity, climate
or economic conditions but the
cultivation of proper living habits
and an appreciation of good health
will determine the state of health
ouo may enjoy.
Figures given out by the War
and Navy Departments on the 28th
show that recruits for the army and
navy are being obtained at the rate
of nearly 4,000 a day.
A special term of Court, Judge
Whedbee presiding, is in session at
Munroe, to try Hunk Maske, the
negro who recently killed Pollcc
msn Kdgar William* at Wingste,
Union county.

Calomel Salivates
and Makes You Sick
Acts like dynamite on a slug
gish liver and you lose
a day's work.
There's no reason why s per
son should take sickening, salivat

It is a pleasant vegetable liquid
which will start your liver Jast ss
surely as calomel, but it doeant
make you sick, and cannot sali

Children and grown folks can
take Dodson's Liver Tone, because
it is perfectly harmless.
Cslomel is a dangerous drug. It
is mercury and attacks your bones.
Take a dose odf raasty calomel to
day and you will feel weak, sick
and nauseated tomorrow. Dont

GET OUT INTO THE OPEN.
Forsake the Home—Sleep on the
Porch—Work Out in die Air.
Yoii prorrisotl youiself last wln
lf r .vou i Lit afraid to open
the windows .that when warm
weather came again you were going
to get back some ot the health giv
ing properties of fresfi air .vou de
nied yourself during t*ie cold
weather. You planned also to
sleep out on the porch. Arj yoj
doing it ?
Now is the time for everybody
to forsake; the house as far as pos
sible and get out in the open. The
best plan is to find some out door
work to do, such as gardening. The
raising of vegetables is now not
valuable from a monetary and
health point of view, but it is the
most fashionable work a person
can do. Front yards are being con
verted into vegetable gardens, and
places that have been wont to grow
grass and flowers for beauty are
now being made to grow "greens''
for health and economy.
If you are so unfortunate as not
to be able to work in either vege
table or flower garden, take long
and frequent walks in the fields
or woods, or play some out door
games, such as tennis, crouquet,
base ball or golf. What Is atill
more essential for your good health
in the spring Is sleeping in all the
fresh air you can get. Move your
bed out on the porch If you have
One, if not build one. Too much
time is spent in sleep for it not to
bring great returns to your health.
Sleep in the open air is far more
valuable and refreshing than sl?ep
indoors.
Spring fever is a myth. It be
long* to the days of hobgoblins.
The "tired feeling'* which some
people have when the first warm
days come is often due to poisons
that have collected in the system
from eating through the winter too
heavy meals. , Fresh vegetables,
fruit and cereals in the place of
meat will help take it away. Pur
gatives are not needed..

Lesson V.—Second Quarter, For
April 29,1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Tsxt sf the Lesson, John xli, 12-28.
Memory Virtu, 12, 13—Golden Tsxt,
John xli, 13—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. O. M. Stearns.
The first part of this lesson Is the
record of the so called triumphal entry
Into Jerusalem, but it was really one
of the saddest days of His life, for ss
He beheld the city He wept over It,
because they knew not what He longed
to do for them (Luke xlx, 41-44). By
riding upon the ass' colt He literally
fulfilled the prediction in Zech. Ix, 9,
and the time draws near when He will
Just as literally fulfill the next verse
snd speak peace unto the nations and
have dominion over all the earth. Then
shall He make wars to cease In all the
world, and the nation* shall'learn war
no more (I'M. xlvl, 0; lsa. 11. 4). Then
shall Zepli. 111. 14-17. be literally ful
filled. 'The king of Israel, even the
Lord, Is In tlie mfdxt of thee; thou shalt
not see evil any more." Then shall all
the world Indeed go after Him (verse
ID), for when the Lord shall make bare
His holy arm In the eyes of all the na
tions all the ends of the earth shall
see the salvation of our God and shall
turn unto the Lord, and all nations
shall worship before Him (lsa. 111, 9,10;
I's. xx 11, 27. 28; Ixxxvl, 0). All that
He was prevented from accomplishing
at His first coming shall surely be ful
filled at Ills coming again.
The desire of the (Ireeks to see Jesus
and Ills reply are all suggestive of the
time of which we have just been speak
ing and of the nice at suffering through
which we are still passing because of
the rejection of Him and His kingdom
and Its consequent postiioncment. He
Is the wheat that bad to die in order
to bear fruit, and Ills followers must
be content to travel the same road
(verses 20-20). Instead of praying to
be saved from the hour to which He
had now come. His prayer was, "Fa
ther, glorify Thy nsme!" And the Fa
ther answered from heaven, "I have
both glorified It and will glorify It
again (verses 27, 28). To the people
the voice sounded like thunder, but to
Him the words were clear (verses 29,
80). Pot with this the other two testi
monies of the Father from heaven,
"This is my beloved Son, In whom I
sm well pleased," and, "This Is my be
loved Son, In whom I sm well plessed;
hear ye Him" (Matt. 111. 17; xvll, S),
and may we become so well pleased
In Him that the Fstber may be well
pleased in us. Then shall we glorify
God, whii'b U the one thing we are
here to do (I Cor. x, 31; I Pet. lv, 11).
Because the right fill King Is rejected
the devil continues to be the prince of
this world,-the god of this world, and
the whole world lleth In the wicked
one (verse 31, xlv, 30; xvl. 11; II Cor.
lv, 4; I John v. 19, R. V.). Having to
contend with such adversaries as the
world, the flesh nml the devil, we can
better understand Ills sayings: "Ye
shall hear of wars and rumors of wars;
nation shall rise against nation and
kingdom against kingdom, and there
shall be famines and pestilences and
earthquakes In divers places. Bee that
ye be not troubled. In the world, trib
ulation; In me. peace" (Matt, xxlv, 0,7;
John xvl. 33; Luke xxl, 25, 20). The
|>ast two years of these things In an
unparalleled degree convince us that
we have entered upon the closing years
of the times of the gentiles, and, while
His followers have always been ex
pected to be ready to lay down their
lives for Ills sake, In these perilous
last days, when the food of the church
Is being so thoroughly leavened and
the world In so many forms Is being
welcomed by the professing church, It
Is necessary to be very, very peculiar
In the eyes of many and absolutely re
fuse to listen to any discrediting of
any part of the Word of God, or to
making light of anytlitug taught there
in. or to have any fellowship with any
thing In the church which Is purely of
this present evil age and not of God.
We must lesrn to say with new em
phasis, "To me to live Is Christ," and
all that Is not directly from Him and
for Him we cannot touch. It must be
fully anil always "Not 1, but Christ,"
"Not I. hut the grace of God," the self
life reckoned dead that the life of Je
sus may lie made manifest (Pbll. 1, 21;
Gal. 11. 20; I Cor. xv, 10; II Cor. |v).
Boar with me for saylug It so often.
Hut when we consider thst He never
pleased Himself, never sought nis own
will or His own glory. how can we fol
low Him except by a similar renuncia
tion of self? Anything like preferring
the praise of men more than the praise
of God cannot lie tolerated (verse 48),
snd s desire to he thought original In
anything we say or do Is wholly ruled
out by the fact that He said only what
the Father told Him lo say. and all
His works were wrought by the Fs
ther In Him (verses 40. 50; xlv, 10).
We may not expect all people to be
lieve all we aay. even though the mes
sage lie wholly of God and He In soma
wsy set Ills seal upon It, for His mes
sage wss not Received by all. and Ha
was despised add rejected. The devil

Every school and district of the
county were represented in the

Senator Non-U of Nebraska, the
notorious hyphenate Senator, dis
graced himself, when he suggestea
the "dollar mark" design for a war
flag. No, Senator, we are not
fighting for dollars, we are fight
ing for liberty, liberty of our de
acendants, Just the same as our
forefathers fought a tyrant on the
other side of the Atlantic, that
their descendants might be free.
Civilization hangs in the balance,
until that mad monster, the Kaiser,
and his mad military machine are
crushed to rise no more. And it is
going to be crushed all right.
Does Your Back Ache ?
It's usually a sign of sick kid
neys, especially if tne kidney ac
tion ia disordered, passages, scanty
or too frequent. tyon't wait for
more serious troubles. Begin using
Doan's # idney Pills. Read this Bur-,
lington man's testimony.
J. P. Thompson, Means St., Bur
lington says, "Quite often I have
have had long dri\ eaand have been
exposed to all kinds of weather.
They have caused my back to ache
at times and my kidneys to act
irregularly. Sometimes I have
haraly been able to straighten
because my back has been so weak
and lame. Often aharp twinge* have
caught me across my kidneys, so
thta 1 could hardly move for a
minute or so. Whenever I have
felt the trouble coming on I have
taken Doan's Kidney Pills for a tew
days. The pain in my back has
been stopped and my kidneys have
again acted regularly. I believe
Doan's Kidney Pills will help any
one who wfli give them a good
trial.

ers will tell you that poverty is the
largest single factor in producing
high baby death rate. Social work
ers will tell you that the general
sickness rates are highest among
people who earn .but little. With
these thoughts In mind the State
Board of Health is giving the ad
vice, "Beware where and how you
economize."' A bulletin from the
Board says:
"The high cost of living does
send up death rates and sickness
rates, too, points that they are af
fected from many angles and direc
tions. High prices may mean cheap,
dirty milk, or canned milk, or milk
without ice in summer, which means
sick babies, or it may mean skimp
ing on doctor's bills and doing
without the doctor when he is
needed, which means more illness
and death perhaps; or it may mean
overcrowding and bad housing con
ditions which means spread of con
tagion and various forms of ill
health.
"If there must be short cuts and
economies," says the Board, "let
them be made' without sacrifice oi
the family's health. Clean, fresh,
cool milk is essential to the baby s
health in summer. A home well
screened from fliss and mosquitoes
and admitting plenty of fresh air
is necessary to the family's health
as well as to their contort. Pure
drinking water, nourishing food,
cleanliness and regular rest are fur
ther essentials not to be over
looked. Let the skimping be made
on non-essentials, such as expen
sive dress, tobacco, cold drinks,
moving pictures and automobiles.

There's nothing casual about
the casualties in Europe.
In Cuba the revolution game is
not so popular as once it was.
Armed American merchantmen
will also bear the Nation's good
wishes.
Indications are that there would
be uo great need for American
cavalry in Europe.
In future ages civilization will
not think-much of the quality of
history it manufactured at this
period.
Nearly 200 students of the naval
academy whose graduation has
been hurried up are taking the
prospect of war cheerfully.
Even the Nick Garter school of
conspiracy could teach those Ger
man plotters some of tLe fine
points in the game.
President Wilson's great pa
tience with Germany has been
Anally exhausted, and the honor
of the country demands a declara
tion of war.
Just one more Ford joke and
then the curtain. In a wee small
town in New Hampshire a man
who stole a flivver was arrested
for petit larceny.
Militiamen who refused to re
enlist after their return from
policing the Mexican border are
signing up in the tace of war.
They are the right sort.
A Philadelphia dispatch says
that Senator Norris will explain
the filibuster. It will take quite
some explaining to restore the
Senator in the esteem of the Ameri
can people.
If only Ihe Republicans in the
House could agree upon something
among themselves, they would
be in better position to ask that
the control of the House be com
mitted to their hands.
A jireat many people are of the
opinion that Germany desires a
declaration of war from this coun
try, so that she can surrender and
"save her face" by declaring that
she cannot fight the whole world.
All the liberal governments of
the world, the United States
included, have extended to new
Ruartia the glad band of good
fellowship and welcomed her to a
place among the republics of the
world.
If, as Chancellor Bethmann-
Hollweg says, "Germany never
had the slightest intention of at
tacking the United States," what
was the meaning of its various
notes warning Americans from
the seas on pain of assassination
at Bight?

Spring is looked upon by many
as the most delightful sesson of the
year, but this cannot be said of the
rheumatic. The cold damp weather
brings on rheumatic pains which
are anything but pleasant. They
can be relieved, however, by apply

"Tenting Tonight."
Mary Roberts Rinehart has con
tributed to the May issue of
Cosmopolitan Magazine a brilliant
article entitled "Tenting Tonight".
In this narrative Mrs. Rinehart
tells the story of her wonderful
trip to the great Northwestern
Rockies, and tells it in such a
fascinating manner that the read

markable photographs taken on
the trip.
The feeling against dances in
public places- in London daring
the war baa grown so strong that
nearly all the hotela have decided
to abandon them. The last im

sentiment in this respect were two
leading hotels, patronised largely
by Americans.
