C., Sept. 27,1917. i The most conspicuous figure in public life today in opposition to the Government's wiir policy is Senator La'Follette of Wisconsjj}. His public utterances are seditious and unloyal. He hindered all he could in the Senate and now he is in the open. He Is an enemy and pro-German. He holds a high office, but he should be amenable to the law notwithstadiug. An example should be made of him. Governor Hickett has let it he known that he will not h> ar per sonal appeals for exemption from war service. All matters of the kind presented to hiin will .he heard only upon affidavit and these he will pass on as provided by law. He is right; besides it would be unfair to subject him to all sorts of political twaddle that could be coddled up. Jtlfee Pritchard's Patriotic Services. Judge Jeter C. I'ritchard, former U. S. Senator, is doing patriotic ser vices for his country. He sees the situation and tells the consequences, should the Germans fail to be conquered. In a speech at Wilkesboro the Patriot reports him thus. "We are not divided, we are unit ed. Time for discussiou has passed. All we want to know is that our dear boys are in it. God pity the inao who does not wish them well. Presi dent Wilson did all be could to pre vent this war.

Bkkett Issues Proclamation - Calls For 5,000 Men. • OR last Saturday Gov. Bickntt is sued a proclamation, calling tor militiamen. The call was for 5.000. Perhaps the number shotild have been more, Dut it is hoped the 5000 Will not be needed. The proclamation is as follows: "Whereas, U has been made to appear to me that conditions now within the Btate calling for the use and service of an effective force for the maintenance of peace and order; "Whereas, the companies com posing the organized Btate (Suarci are now absent from the State, having been duly called into the national guard service, and. "Whereaß, by an act passed at the last session of the General Assem bly, entitled "An Act to Keviße Military Laws of the State « North Carolina, and to inercise the e//i --ciency of the militia," ratified the 6th day of March, 1917, all able bodied male citizens of the State and all -able-bodied male residents ..herein who have fled their purpose ..o become citi zens between the ages o! 19 and 45, unless excepted by special Uw, are constituted and declared to be the unorganized militia of the State and made subject to the call of the Governor for the purpose indicated. "'Now, therefore, I, Thomas W Blckett, Governor,, by virtue of au thority vested in me by the genera) laws, and more especially by the provisions of said act, do make this my proclamation and call into the active service of the State the said unorganized militia as described and designated in said act between the ages of 31 and 45, to the ntim- I ber of 5,000, not less than 25 in any one county and the remainder to be apportioned to the larger counties, as the Governor may designate, Jo ( be selected by draft and forthwith organized and equipped as provid ed by said statute and the regula- ( Hons to be immediately framed ana published pursuant to the same." GKKMAN SPY CAUSKD NINE DEATHS. Justin Kramer, former resident 01 Ashevilje, who was killed oy a fab from an alrplam; at an aviation training camp In Canada several weeks ago, met death- not as thi result of un accident, as was pop ularly supposed, but as the deliber ate effort of a German spy, en listed as an airplane mechanic! in in tho Canadian flying corps, i: ifc stated. The spy filed the control wires of tho airplanes and at '(li ferent times caused the death of nine men. The fate of the spy is not reported, but It may no guess ed if he didn't get away.

"Will sending the soldiers Ji; Prance and the boys at the camps j cigars and cigarettes to smoke! tempt young men who have been | taught Dot to smoke to take up ibis unnecessary and uniiealt hful habit? 1 have always taught my 1 son to take care of his body and his health, likewise his morale, and this he has doDe. Hut now 1 ' have loaned him to Uncle S.tm and the greatest anxiety I feel ' about his going to war is, will his ' health and morals be safeguard>-d. j 1 I fear that ifrcigars and cignrol t-« are so plentifully furnished the ' s ildiers either by the government ' or frieuds back home that it will ' encourage non-smokers to smoke ' and will lead them to other bad habits'" Tho State Hoard of. Health, f •whom the question was askei, im plied to the matter: "We cannot assure you that your fears are without grounds. We can give you tests showing the effects of tobacco on efficiency andendur-j ance, and it seems that whatever weakens or destroys these quali ties in a soldier should not Ije en couraged among them. "An experiment recently con ducted by Fisher and Berry witli • twelve men, smokers and non smokers, provod that the smoking of one simple cigar interfered with an individual's efficiency. All of the men were baseball players.l Tho object of the experiment was to test the effect of smoking on the player's accuracy in throwing at a target. The distance of the throw was sixty feet and the tar- 1 get was a padded block, five feet square, with, a bull's eye.oue foot-1 iu diameter. This was suspended | at approximately the height of a man's shoulder. "The results of tho testa were: When one cigar was smoked the ( smokers showed' a loss of ( leven percent in accuracy when pitch-1 ing the ball; the non-smokers | showed a loss of thirteen porceut. When two cigars were smoked, i the smokers showed a loss of' eleven percent in accuracy and > the uon-smokers showed a loss of j eighteen percent. When no cigar-*; were smoked, the smokers showed | an increase in accuracy of nine! percent, and the uon-smokers j showed an increase of t ten per- 1 cent." What Indigestion is and is Not. The State Hoard of Health has prepared and had published for free distribution a bulletin on; "Indigestion—lts Cause, Preven tion and Treatment." In telling l what indigestion is and is not, the bulletin says: "The tragedy witli so many people is that after a few years of over eating, or irregular eating, intemperance, overwork, j worry, decayed teeth, and othwr | conditions, nature begins to fail i to perform its natural functions. l The patient has pain in the altdo-] men, sometimes before eating, sometimes after, sometimes all the time." This is indigestion. The plan of treatment the bul-' letin suggests, is first to locate the 1 cause. This should be done by having a thorough examination by a capable aud careful physi cian. "Some of the thiugs a care ful physician will do," says thei bulletin, will be: Take from one-half to ohe hour for the examination. Obtain au accurate personal family history (disease history). Try to ascertain how much and what kinds of medicine (patent and otherwise) the patieut has been taking, aud for how long. Find the correct blood pressure with au Instrument specially do vised for the purpose. Record the correct temperature by the t'se of a clinical ther mometer. Make a chemical analysis of the urine. Strip the patient to the waist aud examine the heart and lungs with a stethoscope (au instrument for aiding tho hearing) Place the patieut on an exami nation table a id carefully exam ine the abdomen after removing tbe clothing. . Carefully examine the teeth aud throat as well as looking at the tongue. Count the pulse rate one full mi lute with patieut first sitting aud then standing. Thoroughly study and weigh his findings before making his diag nosis. Write a list of articles of food the patient may eat, also a list contaiuiug what is forbidden. Hand the patient this with a pre scription of whatever medicine is uooessary. Collect his fee. If the doctor has made a correct diagnosis and tho patient follows his direatlons, this will be a lucky number for both. Atlantic Coast Inventors.

The MI in that IIHH IK CII decided on as a reasonable amount for the State to raise from felling Ked Cross Christmas Seals Is 160,000. Last year the sum of $12,000 was raised buithe committee decided to make the goal ihore than twice as much | this year in view of the fact that the war has heavily taxed every resource that can be used for lighting tuberculosis, and for the ) l'u i tlier rea!u»n that every State is goiug to be. expected to take care of her consumptive soldiers. I The campaign will open about November 20. Already over 400,- 000,000 seals have been printed and are now being distributed in every section of the United sla tea and its territories from the Philip pine Islands to the Canal zone. The seals this year are of a new HIHI pMriicularly attractive de sign, the ceuter of which, instead of the familiar Santa Claus face, is a Christmas tree laden Villi snow. I Upon the sale of the lied Cross Seal this year will depend largely the amount of means available for meeting the demands made by the thousands of new pases that have ' been discovered through the selec tive draft. Medical examining boards are every day finding cases that'never were before suspected. "It is only by providing adequate care for every case of the disease developing iu the country and by I excluding every case from the [ aatny that we eau avoid the fatal mistake of France and some ol' her | allies," aays Dr. Charles j.

For a number of year* country roads in parts of Germany, Austria and oth er European countries have been paved with small cubes of stone bnt It Is not so generally known that small-block pavements have been laid In the Unit ed States. They are believed to have been introduced first by J. T. MeClln tock, county superintendent of Monroe county, N. Y. Kfter an experience of ,ten years or so, he recommends the use of blocks of vltrliled clay, meas-j. urlng 2Vi inches on each side. These i are laid on a base of gravel, macadam, concrete or broken slag, which Is usu ally made wider than the pavement In order to support the gravel or brok en stone laid beside the cubes to form hard shoulders to carry vehicles that ii , }' >v. • '*i*'* :■ / ■■ -mmm Laying Vitrified Blocks. are forced to turn out of the main roadway. During fhe last year about six miles of such pavement were put down In the county. Mr. McClintock holds that this type of construction is desirable where a substantial base la already in place, as In the case of an old gravel or ma cadam road which Is not worn out, or a base can be constructed at low cost The vitrified blocks are often laid by unskilled labor, properly supervised, with entirely satisfactory results. Another type of small-block pave ment was recently laid on the Morris town turnpike in New Jersey, which carries a heavy traffic. There is a sec tion of this road about 1,200 feet long having a 7 per cent grade, where It was decided to try small granite blocks in the hope that their numerous Joints would reduce the tendency to slip and skid on this rather steep slope. The blocks are 3 to 4-inch cubes a»dv were laid on a thin foundation. They were not j laid in rows but in curved lines, farming a mosaic pnt tern, and the Joints were filled with fine stone and a grout of cement anil aand. PIONEER GOOD ROAD BUILDER Over $120,000,000 Expended or Pledged During Last Two Dec ades In New York Btate. Twenty years ago New York em barked upon Its policy of state aid for the construction, maintenance and re pair of state, county and township highways. Since that time approxi mately 20,000 of the total mileage, es timated to exceed 80,000, have been Improved.

Losses In eggs during the summer months fall directly upon the farmers. Dealers know that an average of IB to 18 per cent of eggs marketed during the summer is either a total or a par tial loss; hence prices, they say, are based upon good egga only, i Better methods of caring for the eggs and better packing before they are shipped would reduce this unnec essary loafc _ . h- • I Rote Comb Rhode Island Red. | A few definite rules for the pre vention of loss in summer eggs are {formulated by the poultry division at the Pennsylvania State college: (1) Produce sterile or Infertile eggs. (2) Keep eggs In a cool, dry place. (8) Have clean nests and plenty of them. (4) Do not keep the eggs near kerosene or decaying vegetables. They absorb odors readily. (5) Market the eggs fre quently. Holding does not improve quality. KEEP MOTHER HEN CONFINED Loss of Ohlcks by Exposure Largely Preventable by Keeping Hen In Ventilated Coop. It la not good poultry management to allow the mother hen to range un restricted with her chicks. With such freedom the hen frequently takes her brood through wet grass and, as a re sult, some are chilled and die, espe cially the weaker ones, which are like ly to be left behind. The loss of young chicks which follows such a practice Is large and mainly preventable. Fur thermore, the food which a brood al lowed to range with the hen obtains goes very largely to keep up the heat of the body and the chicks do not make as good growth as they other wise would. Chick losses of this nature can be largely prevented by shutting the hen In a coop. Any style of coop which Is dry, ventilated and can be closed ut night ttfprotect the brood against cats, rats and other animals, and Aa Boon ■■ Fowl I* Killed Dip It In Hot Water Thrto Times, Then Wrap In Blanket. j Much of the tronble experienced when picking geese may be avoided If the goose, aa aoon as dead.

That North Carolina's high death rate from typhoid fever ip gradually being reduced is shown by figures recently compiled by the Vital Statistics department of the State Board of Health. The Yi umber of deaths from typhoid from January 1 to August 1 this year reported to this department were 199 against 306 for the same time last year. The total number of deaths from typhoid last year was 700 against 744 in 1915 and against 839 in 1,914. "Even this reduction," says the Board, "does not bring the State's death rate from this disease to near what it should be. In 1916 the State had the high rate of 29.1 per 100,000 population whereas the rate fo» the registration area of the United States last year was only 12.4. This shows that North Carolina has a rate over twice as high as it should be. In 1915, the State's typhoid death; rate was 31.3. "To materially reduce this rate, and do it within the next few years," says the Board, "is going to be one of the tasks the Board will set its hand to in the near future." To accomplish this the Board will work mainly through the new State epidemiology law which makes typhoid lever—cases as well as deaths—reportable to the State Board of Health. It also makes it a quarnntinable disease. Through the law the Board will be able to know where cases of this disease exi4t, and will go after them with the full power of the law. • For the simple fact that every case of typhoid fever comes from some other case, and because the means of its spread are well knwn and theiefore can be prevented, the Board feels that there is lees excuse for typhoid fever in North Carolina than for any other dis ease. Consequently, the war that it will wage ou this disease is ex pected to be » relentless one. aeUefla Six Urari Distressing Kidney and Bladder Disease relieved in six hour* by the "NEW GREAT 80UTH AMER ICAN KIDNEY CURE."
