Davenport of Parker Better, After First Dose of Remedy I W. R. Davenport of Parker, N. C.,j long suffered from a peculiar malady of the stomach. He sought treatment with but little relief. At times it seemed that h would have to srive un hope. I He took Mayr's Wonderful Stomach i Remedy and found immediate benefit. I He wrote: I "For years I have suffered from a! disease which puzzled doctors. Theyj termed it catarrh of the stomach, say ing the only hope would be a change of climate, and that in all probabilitv I would never get well. Then I heard ' of your remedy. One trial bottle gave rne instant renci. it made me feel like a new man. Your full course of treatments has about cured me. Sev eral of my friends have also heen cured." Thousands of others suffering from DEATH RATE DECREASING Vila! Statistics Indicate That North Carolina is Slowiy Yielding to Health Work Preventable disease Higher Than Average North Carolina's death rate is slo ly decreasing according to statists just compiled. These statistics sv-- only tor towns of 1,000 or more. From these t would seem that North Caro lina s total death rate was 18.3 pe 1,000 in 1911, 17.3 in 1912 and 17.1 ii 1913. The need for more and bV health work is clearly indicated by the fact that the average death rate m the registration area of the Unit. -States is only 14.6 per 1,000 as against 17.1 in North Carolina. Upon examining the death rates i- the various causes of deaths, the dr source of our high death rate is fcin to be due to preventable diseases. s"'! as typhoid, tuberculosis, diarrheal, d"; eoses pmong hi 1 1 - -ii. nio-is;lps n whooping cough while in the old-rr diseases our death rate is lower than the average in the United States. For instance. O'.ir tynhoid fever death rate is over four times the av erage. We have over three times as many deaths from measles and about four times as manv from whooprnn cough as we are due to have. Oui t"hrci!osis Heath rate is 54 per cent higher than the average in the Unit States. What this one (lisea.se alow means may bo better understood when we consider that this excess a!or amounts to something li':e 1.K40 mor deaths every year from this droa disease than we would have if out conditions were no worse than : average in the United States, anc Heaven knows tuberculosis is ba enough in other oarts of the Unitci States. The facts of the case v. that every one of 5,300 deaths from this disease that occurred in Non Carolina last year are as unnecess;, ry as the useless deaths now occu-. ing on the European battlefie'.r When we consider this we should re member also that European wars don" occur every year, hut deaths from tu berculosis in North Carolina are regular occurrence. Furthermore, this 5,300 needless deaths represent hut one disease tuberculosis. There are many others, none, of course, as great, but pneumonia is credited with 2,900 needless deaths, diarrheal dis eases among children S.000 and so on. Diphtheria is about the only preven table disease shown by the present r port in which North Carolina has lower death rate than the average It appears that we probably lost oniy about 275 people from this cause whereas if we had had the prevailing conditions in the United States, it would have been about 420. The gist of the whole thing socn to le that our total death rate is abom 17 per cent higher than the average in the Uin'tad States. Of this our death rates from preventable -disras-o-. are a great deal higher than average, h .t they are s'ovly decree ing. Oi'r old-age or non-yoventabie doi-th v-itas are lover than to o.v- :ir,e.

Nowhere in all history, sacred or profane, is there so sharo and telling a setting forth of the truth declared by John that light is come into the world a id men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds wet evil." As we have in the trial and condemnation of Jesus Christ. Every one has had the experience of stand ing under a very bright lia-ht aid see ing his shadow inky black, in contrast to its intensity. So does the blackaess of the selfishness and the sardioess, and the cowardice of the human heart stand unrelieved in the light of God. as we see that light in the supremo sacrifice of the Savior, what a revela tion of the hideousness of humaa sin. There is the cuniditv. treachery and hypocrisy of Judas. There is the fear of Peter and of the other dtsciales. There were the evil feelings of the rulers who were jealous of Jesus and envious of his power with the people and embittered by hatred because he had re'.uked then for their sins. There was the male ready and willing to do the bidding of its masters ana ist ing for blood; there was the Ro man Governo-, who well knew what he ought to do but loved popularity more than he loved right. There were false witnesses willing to testify any thing for a bribe. But horrible as these are they are usual elements in human history. Oh. men need a Saviour from sin, for they are steeped in it, drowning in it; never has the contrast of oi rne holiness to human sinfulness ho-vn forth as it did when the Prince of life stood before an envious saiwie drian, an infiamable mob and a time serving Governor for Judgment. To the false witness and the false accusers he was silent; concerning his kingship and his mission, he was clear. He asserted without argument, God's truth concerning himself, how his calm contrasts with their tumul tuous denunciations and outcries; how his incomparable courage coatraats with the fright of his disciples; his steadfastness of purpose with the vacillating pusillanimity of Pilate. His self-giving love with the eavy and the hatred of the rulers. The black ness of human guilt is seem aa the marvelous light of Christs' holiaosa and love as we could not elsewhere set it. Not only does the crow have the greatest drawing power it has also the greatest convicting war. I do not see how any one caa feBinv the events of our Saviours' last day before he is carried to the tomb and know the contents of his own heact without crying out, uncleanl nmoi&0 and one who does that is not far ftm the Kingdom.
