Some say that President Wilson

sing. Once in a while a fellow puts
himself in a position to be "kicked
oat," as was the case with Lansing,
who, when he foand himself in dis
agreement with his chief, did not
have the discretion to resign. When
Mr. Bryan foand himself at variance
With Mr. Wilson he promptly tent
Says the call for the Bepublican
State convention: "A special invi
tation is extended to the women of
oar State to attend and participate
in the deliberations." They are
spreading the net, perhaps, unmind
ful of the proverb which runs thusly:
"In vain ia the net spread in the
sight of any bird."
It seems that A. J. Maxwell now
stands a better ahow than Judge
Geo. P. Pell of being appointed a
member of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Both are members oj.

When one has been sick and be
gina to show some temper it is said
to be a good sign that he is getting
well again. The ousting of Lansing
is laid to Mr. Wilson's temper, and,
surs, if true, Mr. Wilson is happily
on the road to rapid recovery.

Tbe Blessing of a Harden.
A sermon for laat Sunday by Rev.
L. U. Weston, Paator of Graham
Baptist church.
Caat thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee.—Psalm
58:22.
It ia not always the lightest load
that brlnga the greatest Messing.
Usually the light things ars the
cheapest things- It hi not tbs
lightest wood that makes the hot
test fire or lasts tip longest. All
our blessings may be rated the
same way. If they are easily
borne, or come without great cost
' of effort and sacrifice, their value
I to us is not great. But If they
come to us through great sacrifice,
self-denial, tears, anguish, pain
or even death, we may be sure
■ that they hide iu them the jktj
Jewels of God. So it is that the
i greatest blessings of Qod come to
us through the dark channels.
TaJce tbe irksome tasks of life.
They btgfn in childhood. There
is school with its set hours, its
lessons, rules, tasks, recitations.
When we grow up, instead of get
ting away from these tasks they
iiecoine more irksome. It is ris
ing at the same hour every morn:
ing, and hurrying away to our
tasks and doing the same things
over and over day in and day out,
on and on unto life's end. We
think of it only as the children of
Israel thought of their bondage in'
Egypt. But out of these weari
some tasks come some of ihe
greatest blessings of life. The
loveliest flowers in list have their
roots in common earth. "Be thou,
O man, like unto the rose. Its
root is indeed in dirt and mud,
but its flowers still send forth
grace and perfume." So, my dear
reader, take heart, for out of these
irksome taSVs God will brin forth
some beautiful, sweet characters.
Take again the conflicts of life.
Every life has to meet the oppos
ing conflict of sin. There are dif
ficulties and hindrances which
make it hard to live successfully.
The Adam nature in us ever has a
tenilancy to pull Physi
cally this is true. Every baby, in
infancy, begins this struggle for
existence. Only about half the
babies born reach their teens is
sufficient proof of this struggle.
This conflict goes on through all
life, and if we live to be old it is
through our successful victories
over tbe unceasing antagonism of
accident and disease.
The same is true in mental pro
gress. The man who becomes a
scholar is the man who meets and
and overcomes the difficulties.
There are many obstacles to be
overcome. Theself-indu'getit stu
dent may have an easy time but
he will nover tread the path to
the joys and rowards of scholar
ship It is only through patient,
persistent toil that these are
reached.
When we come to the spiritual
life we find similar conflicts. Tbe
moment we reject self, accept
Christ, resolve to bo a true uian
or woman, to forsake sin, aud obey
God by doing our duty we meet
opposition. But thia timo it is
not flesh and blood but princi
> palitlea, powers, rulers of dark
ness of this world, and spiritual
( wickedness. —Eph. 0:12. From
this we see It is not easy to be
good. The cross must be taken
up daily and borne. But it was
ouly after Christ had entered the
gloomy garden of Gethsemano,
and was carried through Pilate's
Hall, bore the cross up Calvary's
heights, and was even crucified
before He could come forth in a
transfigured life, having conquer
ed hell, death, and the grave. It
is out of these victorious strug;
glee that the beauty of character
comes.
The word "character" in its
ori.'in means to scratch, to en
grave, to cut in furrows. In life,
then, it is that which experiences
cut or furrow Iu tbe soul. A baby
has no character. Its life is like
a white piece of paper, with noth
ing written upou it; or the marble
upon which nothing is cut; or the
canvass, waiting for tbe painter's
colors. Character is formed as
the years go on. It is the result
of Ihe pen, the chisel, or the
painter's brush. It is what we
become after many years. Christ
ian character is the likeness 10
Christ. It is like the faithful
general of Napoleon who had
been shot. The doctor was prob
ing for the bullet. The wounded
soldier looked up into the doctor's
face and said, "Doctor, cut a lit
tle doe per and you will find in
scribed upon my heart the face of
the Emperor. The christian has
Christ inscribed upon his heart.
The greatest burden that most
of us have to bear is suffering.
This is peculiarly true in the
preeent. There are many homes
that are iu or have been through
groat trials of suff> ring the past
few weeks. Many strong bodies
havo been racked with pain or
burned with fever. Yet even this
burden has a blensing in it for tho
christian. It unbinds the world's
fetters, turns the eyes heaven
ward, purifies tho heart and sobeni
the spirit. It draws the house
hold closer together, softens the
heart, and makes sympathy
deeper.
There are many forms of trouble.
It may be the bitter disappoint
ment of love in some young life
that has turned thp fair blossoms
of hope to dead leave*. Or it may
be the keener, more bitter grief
that comes to one when a friend,
a child, a brother or sister, or even
a\wife or husband proves false.
When love suffers even the divine
comfort cannot heal the heart's
hnrt, lessen the pang, or quenob
the anguish. The suffering of
love is the saddest of all earth's
sorrows..
There aro griefs that hang no
I crepe on tbe door, that wear no
bUck r that olose no shutters, thst
{ drop no tears before men, and can (
get no sympathy
Christ, or perhaps some close com
panion. Yet the heart that l-eais
them moat carry a smiling face
before men and go on with life's;
work as if the heart was filled
with gladness. If we knew the
suffering of many people we would
deal very gentle with them and
excuse many things that seem
strange fn" them. But even in
these bidden griefs there is a'
blessing if we do not mi*s it.'
Every night of soirow carries In |
its dark bosom its own lamp of |
comfort.
"Be still sad heart and tease repining, I
Behind tbe cloud tin; sun is still shining-"
It ia my prayer that the bard
toil performed, the conflicts met
victoriously, and the pala and
suffering of life endured may en
rich our character, sweeten.our
sympathy, brighten our hope, and
strengthen our faith in Christ.
May tbe Lord comfort tbe sorrow,
ing heart.

Pepto-Mangan, Famous lied
Illood Builder
If you are just recovering from
a fight with the "flu," it will be
weeks before you're really out ot
danger.
Your blood has exhausted its
strength—it is fn no condition to
fight off other disease germs it
may be exposed to. That is why
doctors advise staying away from
crowds as much as possible.
You can help your blood get
back its strength—its stability to
fight off disease—by taking that
splendid tonic Pepto-Manfan.
The famous blood builder will
supply the iron and other prop
erties your blood lacks and help
you regain your old-time vigor
and enthusiasm.
« Get Pepto-Mangan today. It
may bo bad at any drug store in
either liquid or tablet form. Make
your own choice as to liquid or
tablet. They are exactly the same
in medicinal value. Take which
ever you prefer.
But be sure you get the genuine
l'epto-Mangan. Ask for "Oude's,"
and be sure that the name is on
the package. adv
Back Yard Flock Profitable. __
A small flock of hens, even ns
few as eight or ten, can bo kept
with profit by many town and city
dwellers who have a back yard,
says Mr. Allen G. Oliver, Poultry
Specialist for the Agricultural
Extension Service. With the ex
ception of the moulting period
during the fall and early winter,
this number should produce
1 enough eggs for a small family
throughout the year, if used eco
nomically.
Eggs and fowls are usually do
sired for both table aud cooking
1 purposes, and for this reason Mr.
Oliver recommends such breeds
as the Plymouth Rock, Rhode
1 Island Red, Wyandotte, or Orp
ington. These are preferable to
the smaller egg breed*, such as
the Leghorns, especially for broil
ers aud fryers.
However, for the production of
eggs, rather than table fowls, the
lighter egg breeds will prove bet
ter and cheaper in tbe end, as
they will lay as many eggs and re
quire lees feed
Where desired for table use and
market purposes, Mr. Oliver
recommends the heavier breeds,
aa they not only mature faster
and ate of a larger size, but mako
good sillers and mothers, which is
a gieat advantage over the egg
breeds when it is decided to hatch
and raise cbickenß.
According to Mr. Oliver, it is
by all means advisable to keep
some pure bred fowls. Where
this is done, sale can often be
made of brooding stock intended
for market, or of eggs for hatch
ing, at a profitable figure.
Death Rate in 1918 Highest on
Record.
Washington, Feb. 2.—Tbe death
rate in the Uuited States for 1918
was the highest on record accord
ing to the census bureau's annual
mortality statistics issued today
which show 1,471,307 deaths for
ihe year representing a rate of 18
|>*r 1,000 population* in the death
registration area of 30 Stataa and
27 cities, with a total estimated
population of 81,808,104.
Of the total deaths 177,467, or
over 32 per cent were due to influ
enr.a and pneumonia, 380,996 hav
ing occurred in the last four
months of the year when an epi
demic of these diseases prevailed.
The rate for Influenza and pneu
monia waa 583.2 per 100,000. lu
flueuia caused 244,081 deaths and
pneumonia 232,780, showing rates
of 289.8 and 284.3 per 100,000, re
spectively, the highest rates which
ever have appeared for these
causes Tire rate in 1917 for in
fluenza waa 17.2 and for pneu
monia 149.8. The other principal
causes of death were organic dis
eases of the heart, tubercnloeis,
acute nephritis, Brights disease
and cancer, which together were
responsible for 391,391 deaths, or
nearly 27 per cent of the total
during the year.
Bud Browo says occasionally a
member of the bar correctly de
flues himself when he calls him
self "a criminal lawyer" instead
of saying he's a lawyer for those
accused of being criminals.

When a coal car on an east

I train jumped off the track at a
point 100 yards west of the pas-
Isenger station at Gilmonville
Saturday morning at "8 o'clock,
seven freight cars joined the de

mad crash in which wreckage was
scattered in every direction. It
waa impossible to estimate the ex

Prominent Educator Believes That Vapomentha Is A
Sure Preventive
Dr. R. M. Brame, discoverer of I
Brame's Vapomentha Salve, has a |
letter from C. C. Wright, Soper-h
intendent of the Wilkes County, I
N. C.y Public Schools, in which he
says: "We have used Brame's j
Vapomentha Salve for nearly all
the ills for which it is prescribed i
and have always secured satisfac
tory results. If used in time it
has never failed to break up colds, !
usually the forerunner of Grippe,
Influenza and Pneumonia. * * * i
I speak from personal observation, i
I believe if this preparation isj i
used in time it will prevent the |
development of pneunao lia in j i
every instance, if used according ji
to directions."
These strong statements are;
fully justified by the remarkable :
recoveries that follow. Brame's
V.ipomentha Salve is applied free-i'
ly over the chest and thro it and i
inserted in each nostril. Brame's) I

I Vapomentha Salve penetrates the
' pores of the skin, relieving con
gestion, at the same time healing
vapors arise and are breathed
1 through the mouth and nose,
i loosening the pleghm and causing
the patient to breathe freely. Its
absolute reliability is evidenced
by dozens of unsolicited testi
monials. Brame's Vapomentha
Salve will relieve pneumonia, in
fluenza, grippe, pleurisy, bron
chitis, whooping cough, catarrh,
asthma, tonsilitis, hay fever and
inflammation of-the skin.
Vapomentha is applied extern-
ally, and it will not stain the '
i clothes, as other salves do. No
home should ever be without it.
