Kidney trouble. Decrease in Mortality From Pellagra. It is gratifying that the death rate from pellagra dropped very considerably in 1918. In 1915, says the State Hoard of Health, there were 831 deaths in North Carolina from pellagra; in 1910 this number was decreased to 467. According to statistics furnish ed by the Metropolitan Life In surance Company, "In recent years pellagra has very rapidly increased in importance as a cause of death. In IGII the number of deaths in the company's experi ence was only 277; in 19l5*this number had increased to 650. Dur ing this period the rate had in creased from 3.(1 per hundred thousand exposed persons to 0.7. In 1910 the number of deaths dropped to 368, and the rate to 3.6 per 100,000, exactly the same as iu 1911. Comparing the year 1915 with 1916, there was a de crease of 46 per cent, in the rate. This drop is observed in many of the southern districts where the company does business. In the Atlanta district, for example, the number of deaths fell from 604»r 1915 to 28 in 1910; in the Colum bus district, from 73 to 26; in Au gusta, from 28 to 12; in Charlotte, N. C., from 24 to 12; In Greens boro, from 18 to 8; in Columbia, 8. from 24 to 11; in Spartan burg, from 15 to 2; in Chattanooga, Term., front 21 to/10; iu Knox ville, from 29 to 19; and in Mem phis from 57 to 41. "The insurance company's sta tistic make possible a number of interesting deductions with refer ence to the characteristics of this disease. The very remarkable drop iu tho rate in 1916 appears to bear out the tentative conclu sions of the Government experts who are now studying pellagra, namely, t hat the disease is not of infectious origin, but is probably one of the so-called 'deficiency' diseases induced by insufficient, poorly balanced dietaries. The year 1914 and the first half of 1915 were periods of depression iu the cotton belt and this was reflected by higher pellagra rates. Iu the latter part of 1915 and in all of 1010 prosperity prevailed aud the industrial and agricultural com munities of the Souih enjoyed a more abundant and varied ration. Future observation and experi ment by Government authorities will probably definitely determine whether this explanation of the declining death rate of tiie disease is entirely satisfactory. "Tho experience of the Metro politan, shows, furthermore, that tho disease is much more preva lent among the Colored people than among the whites and is much more frequent among females than among males. Thus, in the five yi'ar period, 1911-1915, the rate among colored females was high est, 20.3 per 100,000; among the colored males, it was 6.4; among the white females, 4.2, and among while males, the least of all, 1.7 per 100,000. It would be very interesting to learn why females iu this country have, approxi mately, three times tho pellagra mortality rate of males. Another interesting fact is that the inci dence of the disease increases with age. There is no exception to this faJt up to age 05. After 65, the rato remains fairly sta tionary.'' (low's This!

North Carolina Short Millions on Food Stuff-Winter Will Brine Hunger-Keep Plowing. University News Letter. Twelve hundred and ninety-six merchants in North Carolina have just reported to the State Agricultu ral Extension Service that in 1916 they imported food and feed sup plies that amounted to nearly 10,1 million dollars, at present current prices. Their report covers: 1,401,010 bu. corn $2,115,015 750,616 bu. corn meal.., .1,513,323 3,459,710 bu. oats 3,459,710 1,551,023 cases canned goods 9,928,580 213,708 tons feed stuff.. .10,979,760 907,813 tons of hay... .18,156,208 27,064,708 lbs, sides and hams 7,717,49,9 3,389,726 bbl. L>ur... .50,846,890 Total $104,717,897 Nearly 105 millions dollars sent out of the state for these 8 items of food and feed! And there are other large items not accounted for—say, the money sent abroad to pay for beef, mutton, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese, and so on. There were nearly exactly 15 thousand wholesale and retail mer chants in North Carolina in 1910. If less than a tenth of them import ed a hundred million dollars worth of 8 staple foods, then how much fo3(l and feed of all sorts did 15,000 merchants import? Not ten times as much, to be sure, because the dealers reporting" to Ilaleigh were probably the larger concerns, wholesalers and jobbers ijjiainly; but the figures given by the .State Agricultural Extension Service confirm the conclusions of the North Carolina Club at the University. Molt 310 Million*. In short, we shall this year bo sending out of the State 240 mil lion dollars for staple food stuffs that we could easily produce at home. These conclusions are based (1) ou the reports for North Carolina by the Federal Crop Reporter and the Federal Bureau of Crop Esti mates, and (2) on the per capita averages of annual consumption announced by the Federal Depart ment of Agriculture from time to time. Think of it! The total of pri mary wealth produced in North Carolina by agriculture, manufac ture, mines, quarries and fisheries, according to the latest figures, is less than 500 million dollars a year! And nearly half of it this year will take tho,wings of the morning and fly away to the utter most parts of the earth to buy the bread aud meat we fail to raise at home No wonder our per capita coun try wealth in farm properties in North Carolina is only $322, and our per capita wealth iu all prop erties whatsoever is only $794, and that in both particulars we rank among the half dozen poorest States iu the Union. . Aud we shall never be greatly richer until we can lay down our agriculture upon home-raised bread -an d - meat foundations. Summer Hygiene Hints. What we eat, what we drink, what we wear make us what we are, especially in hot weather. Probably, tho first aud funda mental rule for healthful living in summer is to keep cleau, inside and out. A bath every day is just about as essential as breakfast or any other meal. Thejtverage person should drink more water in the summer than in the colder months*of the year, to supplement nature's efforts to wash the body through the pores. Drink cool, but not ice water. The greatest danger from ice water is its excessive use. To persons who are overheated or who work in high temperatures, ice water may be dangerous. It may pro duce congestion, better known as cramps of the stomach. lie careful in eating. Don't gormandize. Too much is worse than none at all, especially in suinmeq. jgpt fruit aud vegetables. Remember that a meat diet is heating. It is like fuel under a boiler t hat keeps up steam for the engine. Iu warm weather wear light weight and light colored clothing. Discard heavy dark garments. Don't hurry, start a little sooner. Ue moderate iu everything. All kinds of excesses should be avoided in summer. It goes with out saying that over-indulgence in alcoholic drinks should be shunned, summer aud wiuter. This is not advised alone from the temperance viewpoint, but as well from that of the highest physical welfare. The postmaster ot Savannah, da bs* stopped Tom Watson's Jeffer sonian, The Appeal to Reason and the American Socialist from pass ing through the Bavannah office for alleged seditious utterances The. American Socialist has also been held out of the mails at Chi cago and St. Louis for the same reason. Eighty-seven of the German mer chant ships seised in American ports at the outbreak of the war have been turned over by President Wilson to the shipping board for operation. The other 14 are already in posses sion of the Navy Department. Title to the vessels was vested in the President in a resolution paased by Congress In.May. Many of them already have been repaired and put Into service by the shipping board. . HICKORY CHIPS. Timely pest slogan:. "Bwat the spy!" ' The old Confederates,- after 50 yea;w, finally captured- Washing ton. What has become of the old fashioned early spring? Cold storage supervision may vet provide some statute of limi ' HtiouH by which an egg can event ually be out-lawed. June (5 meant a terrible "morn ing after" to those soldiers of the future who forgot to register. "Eternal vigilance is the price of "liberty", said John Philpot Curran. A. more recent phase of "eternal vigilance" has been buy ing a liberty bond. There are various synonyms for prosperity, but the man with a liberty bond is "well fixed." Incidental to the food propa ganda we should see that no wire less plants grow in Oerman plots. Teuton strategy now consists in leaving the United States severely alone. Sorry, but we won't be able to reciprocate much longer. The use of German lunatics in Iliudenburg's army has proved a failure, crazy men so far en listed having refused to fight. The trouble with. Germany is that the wrong people have been locked up in the asylums. -v * * Get man propagandists engaged in urging Americans not to enlist are causing such a rush to the re cruiting stations that it might be advisable to employ a few hun dred of them at good salaries. But is Gen. Goethals as good at sawing wood as he was at hoeing his own row? It appears that only in Mexico can men light successfully in straw hats. Guns aud competent gunners on merchant ships are a great con venience. "Peace without annexation or indemnities" is a Russian" slogan made in Germany. If "it" fails ths money you didn't put into it won't be worth nnythiug to you, for both you and your money will eventually belong to the Kaiser. With the conscientious o.bjector to war service, it is not conscience that makes a coward but coward ice that makes conscience an ex cuse. The arrest of German spies is no longer news. The execution of some of them would be a welcome relief from monotony. When the Schurz opens fire on a submarine, the prestige of a great name will be increased. Carl Schurz fought against Ger man tyranny first, and then fought for America. The only argument against the suppression of German language newspapers in this country is the fact that thereby, deplorable as it is, thousands of American citizens would not do any reading. Henry Ford has subscribed for ♦5,000,000 of Liberty Bonds, thus at last doing something practical toward getting the boys out of the trenches by Christmas. Several Russian treaties have been stolen and Germany will please note that some countries make treaties that are worth steuling. Now that you have registered don't rage if you are not drawn for Bervice—you can't expect to have all the luck in the world. Did you b:iy a Liberty Bond and stop choking the American Kagle on that SSO gold piece? The recent report that the Con federate flag is flying oVer Wash ington will probably cause the Kaiser to issue another manifesto of good cheor. As a food dictator Mr. Hoover will have power to do everything, except fire the cook. No ordinary mathematician can figure out now how long Champ Clark will be able to hold the Speakership. If yoa don't want a real fight, keep away fro hi the Marine Corps. Republican Russia may still find uce for Siberia as a cozy anarch ist retreat. Now that Senator Lewis has ad vocated "hanging" for' food pi rates, it would be just like 'em to corner the rope supply. Indications that something is wrong in Mexico are afforded by the fact that Chihushns hasn't been retaken for several weeks. "War is a great stimulus to the imagination", aocordiugto a lead ing psychologist. This explains some of the crown prince's recent victories. What kind of a super-general will Vun Uindenburg think he is up against when he hears that Joffre has been designated as aide to Pershing? Now that you have registered there's nothing to do but wait and ho|>e that you will be among the lueky ones to go. There's one thing to be said in favor of a tax on beer—it would make Milwaukee realize that we are at war. The Vice-President of China has resigned, thus finally getting his name in the papers. Registration, after all, does not appear to have proved more dif ficult than voting. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson ll.—Third Quarter, For July 8,1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Taxi of the Lesion, II Chron. xxvitl, 1-27—M•mory Verses, 1, 2—Golden Toxt, Hob. xi, 6—Commentary Pre pared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. This is a hard lesson about a des perately bad man, one of the very worst of the kings of Judab, of whom It la said, "This la that king Ahaz" (verse 22). Mauasseb may bare been worse In some respects, but he repent ed, while of tbis man we read of no repentance. There were always some who feared God, a Godly remnant, and tbo sixteen years of this man's reign must have been a heartbreaking time for them, but no doubt a time of hu miliation and unceasing prayer to God, ami in due time deliverance came, as we shall see in our next lesson. Days of trial aro always times of faith and patience on the part of God's people, and the terrible days still be fore us. of which we are having al ready some foretastes, will give great opportunity for the manifestation of such graces (Heb. vl, 12, 15; Bev. xMI, 101. All life's story as well as all the Bible story is either a manifestation of God or the devil, and so it will be until a kin# sliull reign In righteous ness and peace and the devil be shut up In the pit for a thousand years. It U written of Ahaz that he did not right in the sight of the Lord, but walked in the ways of the .kings of Israel, and they, without exception, walked In the steps of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin. What Ahaz did that was wrong and desperately sinful is quite fnily record ed in our lesson chapter and in II Kings xvi, He burned incense to other gods not only in Jerusalem, but in all tUe cities of Judab aud on the hills and under every green tree. He burn ed his children in the lire like the Ueatben whom tiie Lord bad cast out He leaned on the king of Assyria and worshiped the gods of the kings of Syria. He had an altar made like one be saw in Damascus and put it in place of the brazen altar of tbe Lord and offered sacrifices upon It He took tbe great iaTer from off the brazen oxen which supported It and set It on a pavement of stones. lie cut in pieces tbe vessels of the house of God and shut np tbe doors of tbe bonse of the Lord. It seemed as if he could not do enough to show his hatred of God and His commandments. Yet ho had a good father, Jotlmm, wbo beams mighty because be prepared ills ways before the Lord bis God (xxvll, 0), and lie bud a good son, as we shall see In our next lesson. These things are o great perplexity. Just as similar tilings are in our own times. Bet there is rest In tbe Lord, and In Him alone, and in tbe fact that lie cannot full nor lie discouraged (Isa. xlll, 4). The Lord brought Judah low because of Aba/, and because they had forgotten the Lord God of their fa thers (verses (I, 1!M, but they did not repent nor turu to Illm again. Isaiah and Mlcah were the Lord's messengers in'tbose days, as we learn from the llrst verse of each of these prophecies, and the Lord sent Isaiah with a spe cial message to Ahaz, telling him that If he would turn to the Lord tbe pur pose of the Syrians against him would not stand nor come to pass and that lie might be quiet nnd not be afraid of them, but I lint if he would not believe be would not be established. On that occasion Isnbih was to take with him nis son, Sbeurjasbub, whose name aig uilles tbe remnant shall return, for, as we said earlier In this lesson, there is always a godly remnant, and it seem ed like saying to Ahaz that if he wonld not turn to the Lord the remnant wonld (Isa. vll, 1-9). It was to this same Aba« the Lord said, "Ask thee a sign of the Lord thy God; ask It either in the depth or in tho bright above," nud Ahaz said, "1 will not ask; neither will I tempt tbe Lord (Isa. vll. 10-12). He had pro voked tbe Lord seemingly beyond all endurance,- yet bear him say, I will not tempt the Lord. If be meant to *»y, 1 will not ask the Lord for any thing nor have anything to do with Illm, we could understand blm better, for that Is what his actions were say lng and perhaps what he meant to say Now hear this wonderful messagr from tho I .old to such a man repre sentlng the bouse of David and st such a time: "The Lord Himself shall give you a sign. Heboid, a virgin shall conceive mid lienr a sou and shall call nis name Immnnuel" (Isa. vli, 13, 14). We cannot but think of tbe Bret as aura lice of the gfeat deliverer being made to tbe devil himself (Gen. ill, 14, IS), and we know that when the devil shall come to .the time of bit very worst opposition to aud deflancc of God then shall He wbo In the full ness of time was really bom of a vir gin come In Ilia glory to overthrow ail Ilia enemies and act up Hla king dom. When the devil incarnate, the com tag antichrist, shall have gathered tbe kings of tbe earth and tbelr armlet against Him wbo la coming on the white horse, tbe Lamb shall overcome them, for He Is King of kings and Lord of lord* (Bev. xvll, 14; xlx, 18). That will be tho. morning of the Sun of lUghteoiiauens of which David spake in bla last words, but there will b« no morning for sncb sa Ahaz, wbo have no use for God or His word (II Bam. xxlll, 3-0; laa. vlil. 20, B. V.). Tbe glorious aaaurnucea of iaalah Is and xl and xii surely cry aloud to as. HERE'S PROOF. A Graham Cltlsen Telle of Hie Ex perience.

They say North Carolina Is Blow in enlisting. Yes, North Carolina is slow; and yet, somehow, she nsnally manages to reach the front in time for the crncial moment. In February, 1776, the people of Wilmington, N. C., were only seven years ahpad of the rest of the oolonies; perhaps they should have seen their dnty sooner. And incidentally, it is the fanlt of none bat ourselves that the whole world does not give dne credit to this wonderful, open, armed resistance Jo the infamous Stamp Act, seven years in advance of the Boston*] Tea Party. On the 20th of May, 1775, the people of Mecklenburg county, in North Carolina, were only a year ahead of the rest of the country. Perhaps they should have set the example sooner. Yes, North Carolina was slow in the War Between the States; she weighed the pros and cons deeply. But somehow, after she did secede, North Carolinians were always so near the front that the first to fall in pitched battle was a North Carolinian, Henry L. Wyatt, at Bethel, so near the front that, after Gettysburg, 80 per ceHt. of North Carolina's men were left on the field of honor, many of them lying farther within the enemy's line than the men of any other Southern State. So slow is North Carolina that she could not even be made to surrender until most of the other States had done so. One-fourth of the muskets laid down at Ap pomattox were in the hands of North Carolina soldiers. After a while came the Spanish American War. and North Caro lina managed in her alow way to do a few things. Lieutentant Richmond Pearson Hobson and Lieutenant Victor Bine might talk on the subject; and some of the comrades of Worth Bagley, the first officer to fall in that war, might also have something to say. Only two weeks ago the first shot against Qermany was fired, and, according to official report, it sent a submarine down. That shot was tired by James A. Good win, from eastern North Carolina. He took time to prepare slowly and caiefully, lor just that emer gency, and so, at the psychological moment, he was ready. Yos, North Carolina may have been slow to enlist in the present war; but she has made up her mind now, and when Tuesday came it was found that her sons had done her duty; and if God wills that the worst come to as North Carolina men will beiound dead or alive where the fighting is fiercest and the risks deadliest; and North Carolina women will be found at home or elsewhere if duty callc, loving their men, pray ing for them, and trying to d 6 their men's work as well as their own.
