(By a School Boy 16 years old.) Total abstinence is the art or practice of abstaining entirely from intoxicating drinks. Very often the use of intoxicants has its be ginning unconciously fro mits kin dred evil of cigarette smoking. The nicotine in the cigarette calls for a still stronger poison, which is found in alcoholic liquors. There are a number of ways in which to tal abstinence adds to the value of an honest, upright life: but, alas, so many fail to realize this. Total abstinence produces a strong and healthier body, and thereby a stronger and more vig orous mind. Intoxicants affect the various tissues of the body and weaken the muscles, and therefore render the body unfit for the pur pose pf its creation. The man who is a slave to the drink habit can not do as'much work, or undergo as great endurance, as the one who is a total abstainer. The nerves are also affected by the use of al cohol. “To use liquor is to the nervous system like pouring sand in a watch; it wears it out rapidly, making it a useless, worthless thing,” Children who follow the example set by their fathers in the use of alocohlic liquor, never reach their normal growth. The alcohol hinders the growth and de velopment of the cell, and causes the body to become stunted. Since alcohol weakens the body, it makes it an easy prey to disease; for in its weakened condition, it is less able to resist the attacks of the disease germs which seems to be everywhere present. Alcohol in juries the cells of the brain and thereby impairs the judgment; and so enfeebles the mind that it can not act wisely. The mind being thus impaired the individual will have no determination, ambition, or ideal in life. The use of intoxi cating drinks is one of the causes of insanity. Upon investigation, in Great Britain, it was found that twenty per cent of the number of those in insane aslynums were there from the results of the use of alcohol. The body is the temple of God, and He has commanded that we keep it clean. Those who use intoxicants are violating this command. He who is addicted to the use of alcoholic liquors can not succeed in the business world. The mind be ing enfeebled, and filled with il lusive inaginations, renders him in capable of transacting business wisely. It is bad for an old man to be addicted to the drink habit! but for a young man to be thus addicted is pitiable. The world stands in need of numbers of hon est, upright young men of sober, steady habits. Numbers of good positions are open to the temperate young man, but they are closed and sealed to the drinker. A young man usually enters into business life at the age of twenty-one. When he applies for a job, one of the first questions asked of him is “Do you drink”? If he is forced to hang his head in shame and an swer in the affirmative, he is told that he is not needed. It is known to the business world that a young man addicted to the use of intoxi caing liquors is not reliable. And no employer wishes to have in his service a man who is not reliable. A total abstainer has higher ideals in life than a tiepler. He is not content with just any old manner of livelihood, but is con stantly striving to better his con- ditions, to attain higher and nob ler things and to leave the world some better by his having lived in it. O n the other hand the drinker cares little for his own condition, or the uplift of his fellow man. He seems content if he only has some thing to eat, to wear, and to drink; especially to drink. Then too, the total abstainer is a joy to the home; a source of pleasure to his friends and a gener al favorite in his community. A las, how different with the drinker. If you should visit the home of a drunkard you will likely find it a small, uncomfortable and insani tary cottage with a conspicuous scarcity on all sides. You will like ly see in the faces of the wife and children expressions of fear and dread, the evidence of neglect and cruelty on the part of the drunken husband and father. Do you think the mother and children of such a home happy? A man who drinks does not seem to realize what affliction he may bring upon his decendents. Some times the children of drunkards are born with such a craving ■ for alcoholic liquors that they take to the use of it at a very early age. THE CHATHAM RECORD Their bodies will become so weak ened, and their minds so impaired, that they will not be able to per form ordinary work in life. Often in cshool, pupils are not able to keep up with their- class. When the proper investigation is made, it is 'found to be due to the fact that they or their fathers are victims to the drink habit. Men who are total abstainers can manage the affairs of the govern ment of our country far better than those who indulge in the use of in toxicants. Their minds are strong er and clearer, and their judgment sounder; theirfore they are more capable of observing what is best for the general welfare of the coun try. Abraham Lincoln, one of our most able presidents, on one oc casions, was handed a glass of wine by his host. He refused it. His host suggested that one glass of wine could not injure a man of his age. Lincoln bravely told his host that a few days before his mother’s death he had solemnly promised her that he would never touch any thing intoxicating; and that he con sidered the promise as binding as it, was the day he made it. We are to be congratulated on having at the head of our government today another man who is a total abstain er. If Woodrow Wilson were ad dicted to the use of alcoholic liquor, in all probability, on account of an impaired mind and unsound judg ment, we would have already been plunged into the great world’s war. Total abstinence produces higher ideals in life. Young men who do not use intoxicants naturally have a desire to be true and noble. On the other hand intoxicants destroy the higher sensibilities and fill the mind with evil thoughts that fre quently lead to crime. Statistics show that ninety-nine per cent of the crimes committed are due eith er directly or indirectly to the in fluence of liquor. When we see the evil caused by the use of intoxicating liquors; then why do we hesitate to help the Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union to fight this dreaded monster and make our country clean and pure; the home of the brave and noble? MEN AND MEDICINE SENT TO MEMPHIS BY HEALTH BOARD Raleigh, May 2—North Carolina today sent men and medicine to Memphis,' Tenn., the while adding to Red Cross flood relief funds with baseball games, benefits and gen eral contributions. Dr. Charles O’H. Laughinghouse sent two doc tors and a sanitary engineer and a good supply of anti-toxins, on re quest tof Federal health authori ties. Governor McLean had issued two proclamations calling upon the citizenry to aid. Theatres held benefits. Com munities continued to raise money. A married men vs. single men baseball game was held at Rocky Mount as a novel flood benefit.

RIGGSBEE, May 12, —4t-c Valuable Finds In Bible Lands The University of Pennsylvania Working With British Museum, Makes Wonderful Discovery Philadelphia Objects 2,000 years older and “rivaling in. artistic merit and skill in craftsmanship” the treasures of “Tutankhamen” have been found by the joint ex pedition of the British Museum and of the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania at Ur of the Chaldez in Mesopotamia. \ This was revealed in a report from C. Leonard Woolley, director of the joint expedition, made public by the university museum today., The expedition closed its excava tions at Ur for the season on Feb ruary 19. Clay tablets bearing the names of kings unrecorded in his tory and indications that they had ruled as early as 3,500 B. C., were among the discoveries. Every advance into the mount, Mr. Woolley’s report said, brought the expedition to a richer part of the cemetery. On the topmost level cylinder seals inscribed with the names of members of the house hold of the Daughter Sargeon of Akhad, “the lady who became high priests of the moon god at Ur,” were found. Farther down was un earned the lapis lazuli cylinder seal of Nin-Kur-Nin, the wife of Messanipadda, founder of the first dynasty of Ur. This was character ized by Mr. Woolley as a historical document of first importance. “Three yeare ago at Tell El Obeid,” added the report, “the ex pedition discovered the foundation tablet and gold seal of A-An-Ni- Pad-Da, the second king of the dynasty, and thereby restored to history a line of kings often re garded as mythical. Now A-An- Ni-Pad-Da’s father becomes a real person attested by material proof and at the same time we gain an approximate date for our second level. The cylinder belongs to the end of the series and the graves fall between 3200 3100 B.C. “Below these comes a blank stratum and then a distinct eric of graves much older and much richer than the rest. With them are associated clay tablets inscrib ed with a semi-pictographic script and seals bearing the names of kings unrecorded in any history. The difference in level and change in writing both demand a consider able lapse of time and the lower graves must be as early as 3400 8.C.” Mr. Woolley said that because of the nature of the soil, Meso potamia would never produce such furniture as filled the rock hewn hermetically sealed chambers of Thebes but that articles carved from gold and other metals able to resist the chemical action of the soil were superior in workmanship to those found in Tutankhamen’s tomb.
