Contrary to old fashioned ideas sk\«*... e ..i uo open *s not haruitu' and night air is now held to be in vigorating. When the sun sets and night falls night air is the only kind oh r ainable and it is considered far better to have plenty of night air | than to breuthe loui or sia.c air. j v -riit air net* as a tonic, says Dr. Harvey Wiley, authority on neaith. One 'of the sins of civilization, ha ciaims is the invention of the house. If there were no houses there would be no tuberculosis, he asserts. TuDar culosis however, is not the on!y dis ease the house is reponsible for. Cut ting off the proper supply of fresh air reduces the vitality of the body to such an extent that not m..y tuberculosis germs, but germs of oth er infectious diseases may more rapidly take hold. This problem can best be bandied, he says, by making use of sleeping porches. Every house whether in the crowded city or in the country has one or more porches. These porches can easily and should be fitted out as sleeping rooms. Tfce Fall Cold. The prevalence of the common cold during the changeable weather of 'ate .Summer and early fall is usually due to some fault of the individual, says Dr. R. S. Copeland. In fact, he saya, a cold is a pretty reliable sign that some wrong has been committed against the body. All fall colds do not come from wet feet, chilling tne body or from, contact with somebody who ’has a eold. When you have a cold you can market down that you have abused yourself in some wav. It may be overwork, because fatigue lowers resistance and prepares the way for almost any illness. Other causes may be overeating, faulty elimination, loss of sleep, worry* being too much. indoors neglecting sunshine, fresh air and exercise, etc. Raleigh May Not Get Educational Meeting.

Knox, assist ant poultryman of the University of Louisiana; Roup is one of the most common poultry diseases of the late summer and early fall. It is a disease of the respiratory organs and is cbmmon ly found in the eye as well. This disease is characterized by a thin, watery discharge from tne bird’s nostril, which later become thick, hav ing a very offensive odor. The eye may become inflamed, catlsing tlie eye t<Wku’.ge outward, and if this is not opened, cause the eye ball to burst. The sinus jiiet underneath the eye is generally swollen. Roup is generally supposed, by the best authorities, to bo caused by a filterable virus, which means nothing more than it is caused by an organ ism which is so small that it will p**s through a porcelain filter, and when this filtrate is introduced into a healthy bird, it will reproduce the disease. Sanitation cannot be emphasized to highly in the control of any poultry disease. The poultry house * should be kept as clean as is practically pos sible ; the yards should be turned often enough to keep the ground in good condition, keeping a green cover crop growing on the ground. It has been noted that the cleaner the houses of the egg laying contest are kept, the less disease is had. Sanitation, then, becomes the first and most important step in the prevention of this disease. First, remove all visible dirt by scraping it off the floor, and equip ment ; sweep off the walls and ceiling thoroughly. Second, scrub the floor and equip ment with a strong solution of lye. Third, disinfect the house and equip ment with a standard disihfectant, ac cording to directions. Armored Fort For Payfolls Gives Electric Shock*.

Sunday, the most spectacular evangelist this coun try bks known for many yearn* does not think much of visitation evangel ist. . , _ It has a certain place in the -busi ness of bringing salvation to ainners.

Mr. Sunday recently told what he thought of visitat’oq evangeliMri in hi* custotnafy forceful manner, while he w*« resting up between meetings at Ocean Grove, N. J. ’ ‘ .‘ 4 i Ms. Sunday showed B»ly aWare bf the criticism of thh value of bin revival meeting* which, his been set -forth in a "preceding 1 article. He yanked off hi* spectacle*, up a knCe, and smacked it With hi* nSt, as he answered the objection thht his converts do hot, in an> large numbers become regular, Sustaining church members after the revival meetings are oVCr. . • j .“That’S npt my fault.” he said, “that’s th4 fault of the local church es. tell you thebe are too mafiy Churches where there is a block of ice irt the pulpit,’ Instead of a warin-heart ed human man. Why, there are some churches which seem So cold you can skate f doWri the centre aisle. ‘|You might as Wfll blame the doc tor who brings a Child into the world because the child gets whooping ebugh yearg afterward.

What aCe they doing to hold the convert after the evange list lfgres? Is the neighborhood church the Sort of a chureh in whieh a contort can make spiritual prog ress? Those are the questions you Want to’ask.” It Was pointed out that the Rev. Charles Goodell, head of Federal Council of Churches Committee on Evangelism, has said that Sunday’s New York revival meeting in 1917 cost $350,000 and netted only 200 per manent converts. “What’s he howling about the cost of converting sinners for?” Mr. Sun day asked. “Do you know the- Demp sey-Tunney fight in Chicago is going to cost those who see it more than sl,- 000,000? It can’t possibly last more than 45 minutes. Why not howl about the money that’s going to be spent there? “Did you know the people of this country spent a bill : on dollars last fall on .football games? The money that’s being spent on my revival meet ings ie beidg spent to bring salvation to sinners who are hungry for the word of Gdd.” Mr. Sunday emphasized that he ap proved of so-called visitation-evangel ism, and invariably urged, during his revival meetings, that after h 4 left the church members />f the commun ity take up the task of convers'on where he left it. His chief objection to it as a substitute for “masg evan gelism”-—Mr. Snhday dislikes the term * “mass evangelism”—ih that -it is impossible to ensure that the mem bers 'of the visitation committees ac tually convert the people they vlg’.t to what Mr. Sunday believes ie “the truth.”. ■ ‘I never knock personal evangelism. I urge it at my meetings,” he Skid. “More power, to it! • |‘But it can’t take the place of you are calling- .‘maes evangelism.’ What are these good people going to tell the sinners they visit?

ALWAYS GET RESULTS, Mr. Sunday , further believes, be can i do a ’ better job at conversion than • “the good people” who are likely to i be on. visitation committees. Mr. Sunday is, nbt unnaturally, on the side of the nien and Women he has ■ converted. If, after he has left tdwn, they do not ill beccme henceforth reg -1 ular,' sustaining members of the local churches, Mr. Sunday instinctively feels there must be something wrong with the churches. <• ” > -* *• The local ministers, on the other hand, apparently feel, equally Jnstihc tlvely, that if Mr. Sunday’s converts do mot become regulir, sustaining » members of their Churches, that there i was something Wrong with their cOn > vision. This feeling Mr. Sunday does not understand. As is obvious to every one who meets him, Sunday’s relig -1 oeity it a silnple, uncomplicated and extremely personal thing., When a 1 nian comes down the sawdust trail, and si asps Mr. Sunday’s hand, he is i “saved.” 4 r Opposition to evangelists of the i type ,of Billy Sunday which has re -1 cently come from local preachers is 1 largely confined *to the East. Mr. Sunday frankly admitted, that the East has becOme less eager, for hi* re • vlval campaigns than the territory be tween the Mississippi and the Rock > and infinitely less so than the • South. And the reason for this is, in • Mr. Sunday’s opinion, because of the i preachers in the East who are not preaching “the trtith.” Mr. Sunday Says the failure to I preach “the truth” has recently in i creased in the East, artd feels that l if energetic methods are not taken to <*Ounteract it, it will mean the end of i the United States as a Nation.' i “I don’t khow why it is that sin seems to collect in the b*g Cities,” Mr. Sunday said, ‘jßut you recall Babylon and Sodom and Gomorrah. The peo ple who lived out in the country • around those cities were all straight, i The sinful people were in the cities. “Not but what there aren’t sbme mighty fine men in New York City. Look at the wav the? came to my meetings in New York. Ninety-one i thousand came up and shook my hand. They’re hungry for. the renl old-sash • ioned religion in New York, but they can’t get it. That’s the trouble. 4 “Why, a big man in the church • there—l won’t tell you his name, but • he has ninety-one preachers working under him —told me he didn’t believe more than ten of the ninety-one had ■ been converted.

Next Saturday Marks 140th Anniver sAry of Signing of Constitution Washington, D. C., Sept. l‘> __v’ Saturday will mark the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the fram ing and signing of the Constitution' of the United States, and the Constitu tion Anniversary Association, which has its headquarters in Chicago, has requested that schools, patriotic socie ties, and other organizations through out the country observe the week hi ginning today as “Know the Constitu' tion Week.” As the birthday of the Constitution September 17 may be regarded as the mother of the several national an niversaries observed in the United States. Without September 17, 17*7 there would be no Fourth of July celebration, because in the intervening years between the adoption of the Declaration of independence and thr signing of the Constitution chaos reigned supreme in the country. i n that interim money was worthless credit was infinitesimal, trade lan guished, commerce was dead, no in ternal improvements were made and Congress could neither .raise an army nor collect taxes and revenues. Rebel lion prevailed in Massachusetts and several other States, and because of the attacks of mutineers led by in surrectionists, Congress fled from Philadelphia to Princeton. Disorder, disunion, discard, and despair were everywhere present. Then came the Constitution, and with it stabilized prosperity. In the same length of time, ten and a half years, the people startled the world and surprised themselves with match less achievements. Without the con stitution, which came on September 17; 1787, the Fourth of July would never have ’been the glorious holiday that it is. It was the Constitution that made Washington “the Father of his Coun try,” since without it there would have been no country to “father.” It .gave Lincoln a Republic to save. With out it, the American people would not be celebrating the birthdays of these two men. Without a Constitu tion back of Congress, no day could be set aside for the bestowing of de served tribute upon those whose lives were offered in the preservation of the Union. There would be little cause for Thanksgiving Day were it not for the keystone document. Many people are Inclines to regard the Constitution as a “law.” But it is not a law in the commonly accepted sense of the word. It is far more. It is a basic promise—a principle. Every Constitution is the principle of the United States and the American peo ple. The Constitution in an organic law, while a statute is merely the application of it to human conduct. The Constitution is the basic alpha bet —not the spelling of the word. It is the fundamental eight notes of the scale —not the adaptation of those' notes to music. The Constitution is the Golden Rule —not the various in terpretations such as the Ten Com mandments. It is the basic ten digits, not the working of a problem in par tial payments. _ Bueh are the facts pointed out by the Constitution Anniversary Associa tion in asking that the week set aside as “Know' the Constitution Week” be observed by all the people in all the States of the Union. The Winecoff, Harrisburg and Bethel high schools opened this morn ing and will continue for 8 months. The Mt. Pleasant school will operate 8 months this term hut the opening has been postponed a week or two. Foreseen. Friend: “I hear Hardupp’s stort burned last night.
