RUSSIA AWAKES.
f For nine mouths tho Russian

■ Russia herself has passed through a
revolution in which the Czar lias
been deposed and the struggle for
f democracy successfully launched,
'ihese momentous movements have
occupied the Russians so much that
tiiey accomplished little other than
to hold their positions. Then, too,
* efloits have been made by tho Ger
mans to lorm a Boparato peace with
fcusaia. Ail the elements have been
Russian activity.

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.''

STARTLING SHORTAGE.
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.

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

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.).

Yes, North Carolina is slow;
and yet, somehow, she nsnally

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.

Few medicines have met with
more favor or accomplished more
good than Chamberlain's Colic,

Are You One of Them!
There are a good many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for
a weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. B Searl,
fiaidwinsville, N. Y., relates her re
lates her experience in the use of
these tablets: "I had a bad Bpell
with my stomach about six months
ago, and was troubled for two or
three weeks with gas and severe
palna in the pit of my stomach.
Our druggist advised me to take
Chamberlain's Tablets. I took a
took a bottle home and the first
dose relieved me wonderfully, ana
f kept on taking them until I was
cured." These tablets do not re
lieve pain, but after the pain has
been relieved may prevent its re
currence.
