THE LIQUOR AND
THE DRUG HABIT
For many yea i s some of out -people
have been working to remove all the
useless and dangerous drugs in tin
country as well as alcohol and various
| laws have been passed to regulate
| the sale of these drugs, many" ol j
!of which are fairly well kept. Two
forces are workihg however whiih
tend to keep the traffic alive, one ol
these is the .natural taste and do-.in |
of man for drugsi, of course that ap
lilie- only to tim e who know tin
'
craving, for people do not dosiie
things they know nothing about. This
class ure_cntitJod to sympathy.
-T he second class of people who an
I spreading the drug and lit|tttn habit
are time who are profiting from the
manufacture and salt- of it. Hotli id
these classes should be le trained, It
i I'rekueiitlv said that you can't leiri

an holiest cooperation among all the

habit will begin to die out but a I
as so many inftney hounds- are try

of ca.es except through the IIIIIIIIM
of deaths reported. For the tir t si>
months ut' 1921 there was a decrease
of thirteen in the number of deaths
from this cause in North Carolina. \
dec rase is shown for each month u|
to June, which latter showed an n>
crease o rfottr. The total number of
deaths reported for 1920 as havu
been caused h\ pellagra was 297. The
total number reported for the first si\
months ol' l!»2l was lit!. If the same
average is maintained for the remain*

show a net decrease of sixty five
deathes from this cause.
'Vlla'gia is a nutritional di -ease and
the 1 • S. I'ublic Health Service has

FLUSH WDSIMUIT
(Ily W. H. Orleans)
In the early days of the human race,
when man had not laid hold of the
true of knowledge, nor searched deep
ly into the mysteries of life and the
universe; when, with eyes closed, he
followed his natural impulses, which
guided spontaneously his physical and
spiritual powers, and satisfied his
simplu wiikK. without undue exertion;
ill tlio.se days his two battles were
| waged by two different forces—by
Reason and In Imagination. 11 is
I Will-To I.ivc controlled these two
forces, and made them work for his
well being.
Heason discovered the chain of caus
ation HI things, and thus taught him
how to obtain Ins desires and remove
■obstacles. Imagination fulfilled its
function iti the inner life; it brought
film comfort in trouble, anil", the
strength that is horn of hope; it kept
j lion from faltering, ami prevented a
despairing (light, from the battle field.
Heason was the general, directing
his forces in their work; imagination
was the priest who accompanied the
army, strengthening the weak and the
wounded, and administering sweet
comfort to tßeir souls. Wheiiexei
Reason was unable to lead the way
to victory, Imagination could lead the
way to rest, by refashioning the chain
HI cause and idled, and could shed a
cheerful light in every circumstance
iiid every event, good and evil alike
When the thunder peals, and the
blinding lightning Hashes play, and
terror lays hold on all living things,
man, too, leaves his work in lielij, and
forest, and hastens, r junking with fear,
to hide in some rocky cavern from
the anger of a hidden god, when hi:
Imagination comes to his aid, and
shows him Jupiter, sitting on the ol
Olvmpus, and hurling his lightnings'
ami his thunders upon the heads ol
liis enemies who have sinned against
him. So man calls on his Cod, ap
peases Ilim with an offering from hi
flock, and. returns to hi.s work with a
tranquil mind, to struggle fol'Til.s"ex r
isteiice against his .external eiieeiniesj
under the generalship of Reason. Fven
in the face of death, when he sees
that fell destroyer.Tftp Hi I -devouring,
all consuming, and knows that upo
him, too, must come the end of
-Hes.h r even then his desire ofr exist
eiice does not desert him; even tin
lie does not succumb to-despair "and
hatred of life. Imagination has power
to open the .gates of hell heforehim,
to show liim life and well-being, even
there, under the earth. And it is not
a different life, of' a strange, spirit
ual kind, that he sees there, but just
"a simple life of body and soul, where
in eevery man liven as he did on earth;
Wherein the small remains small, ••
t great-is still great; wherein the
Master Is master, ami the slave i"
not free, * This marvelous faith which
scietific research has -discovered to
day among various tribes in the stage
of childhood, is still being preached
