ASHEVILLE DOCTOR TALKS OSTEOPATHY ill III E OU THERN PLANTER Asheville Visitor Reviews the European Situation As Big Producer, TOBACCO AND COTTON CROPS WILL SURVIVE :Dr. Meacham Speaks Before ., Annual Convention In Ses sion at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, Aug. 4. Osteopathy will give the greatest known control over all germ diseases, particularly those in which medicine has failed, declared Dr. W. Banks Meacham of Asheville, at the annual convention of American1 Osteopathic association here today. Dr. Meacham spoke up on "The Relation of Nutrition to Body Resistance." He said in part: "We know from the experiments of earner pnysioiogists, aa well as from the experiments of Whiting, Burns, Deason and McConnell that the blood, both as to. its constitution and as to its physiological activity can be modified by osteopathic principles. "Dr. Burns has shown us conclu slvely that the digestive ferment, pty- alin, can. be influenced by the osteo pathic lesion. Dr. Whiting and oth ers have shown that the bactericidal power of the blood can be influenced by osteopathic treatment. "We know then that nutrition is Influenced by the osteopathic lesion, and that germ activity in its war fare against the cell is influenced by osteopathic principles. We know, furthermore, that the vitality and activity of individual tissue cells de pend upon the state of nutrition. "For the past ten 'years I have been appearing before this convention at practically every meeting, in an ef fort to show the osteopathic profes slon that at least one germ disease, (tuberculosis) is influenced bv osseous lesions which are practically always' present in this disease, and which, when corrected, give the body its best chance for recovery after bacterial infection "We have Clinlcallv dnmnnntrnttil for a quarter of a century the fact that the eliminating organs can be stimulated to eliminate food wastes and body wastes I believe We can stimulate such eliminations to the point where the principles of oste opathy will give us the greatest known lontrol of any and all Infec tious diseases. I believe this is the problem before our poofesslon to day, which, when solved,, will force the recognition of osteopathy as a scientific procedure In handling all acute infections and that the solution of this problem will do more to give us the recognition that should be ours than will the tabulation of any nam ber of case reports or affidavits show ing our clinical results in the chronic nervous cases that have been the par ticular Held of our profession in the past."

I Woodard of Wilson, one of the largest cotton and tobacco' grow ers of eastern Carolina does not be lieve the European war will have disastrous effect upon the cotton and tobacco Industry of the south, except temporary depression in price, uiv less England aids Russia and France by conforming to the entente. Mr. .Woodard, accompanied by his two daughters, Misses Virginia 'and Almira Woodard are at the Battery Park hotel for the week. From Ashe ville Mr. Woodard will go to Lake Toxaway for his annual summer out ing which has been spent in western North Carolina for the past fifteen yeafs: Mr. Woodard gave the following in terview to a Gazette-News reporter today: Everybody knows." said Mr. Woodard, "that two-thirds of the cot ton and tobacco crop in the south, and especially of eastern North Car olina Is exported to England and to various foreign countries of the world. The Imperial Tobacco com pany, and the Export Leaf Tobacco company which is really the British- American Tobacco company take about four-fifths of all tobacco bought for foreign trade In eastern North Carolina and the independent dealers take the balance. Practically all of this tobacco is first shipped to England and placed In the Queen's warehouse. All tobacco purchased by the Imperial Tobacco company Is manufactured In England and nearly all bought by the British-American company is shipped to various parts of the world. Tobacco Supply Short, 'Last year tobacco brought almost twice as much as formerly and from all reports the supply has not kept Doctor Speaks Out TO COFFEE DRINKERS The Boston Advertiser of June 15, 1914, quotes Dr. D. II. Kress, of Chicago, in an address as saying that tea, coffee 'and cocoa cause more deaths than alco hol. "Th- table beverages are sapping the life of our nation. They are making us a race of weak-kldneyed, weakllvered beings, unable to reproduce ourselve The kidneys and ilver do not perform their proper functions and the waste matter left In the system tends to bring on arteriosclerosis. "Statistics show conclusively that aa the consumption of coffee, tea, and cocoa have increased, the number of nervous diseases and insanity have Increased propor tionately." This strong 6tatemetot from a medical authority, cannot be lightly disregarded. It is easy to prove in one's own case whether cof fee is the cause of frequent "spells" of nervousness, indigestion,4 biliousness, liver complaint, headache, heart disturbance and other ills. Quit coffee 10 days, and in its place use TUM ; i then note the difference Made from prime wheat and a bit of molasses, Pos tum is a pure food-drink, entirely free from the pernic ious drugs in tea and coffee, or any other harmful sub stance. In thousands of homes Postum supplies a table bev erage, pleasant to the taste, and to be used freely as a rebuilder, where coffee and tea tear down. Postum comes in two forms: Regular Postum, must be boiled, 15c and 25c pkgs. Instant Dostum, a soluble form, made in tho cup instantly, HOc and 50o tins. Grocers everywhere sell both kinds and the cost per cup is about tho same. '. There's a Reason" for Postum I Woodard of Wilson Takes Op. . timistic View of tho Existing Conditions His Statement. RSREV1LLE "SILENCE" IS PUZZLIIiHIE EXPERTS Wireless Station on Summit of of Mt. Mitchell Fails to Call . Up Local Tower. :- Wireless telegraph experts will probably be called upon to ascertain just why the station on the summit of Mt. Mitchell can communicate, or rather pick up messages from points thousands of miles away but still can not "find" Asheville? The local situation is indeed an In teresting 'one and it may be several days before the mystery can be solv ed. Experts are to be carried to Mt. Mitchell to ascertain the trouble. Asheville cannot get Mt. Mitchell and Mt Mitchell cannot reach Asheville. On the other -hand, according to -J. W. Dunn, who has a summer lodge for the public on Mt Mitchell, there is no difficulty experienced by his operators in picking up wireless mes sages from ships at anchor or sailing In the Gulf of Mexico, or in the At lantlc ocean. Asheville, however, is cut off from his station nearby. . The Mt Mitchell station picks up, with the greatest of ease messages going out from the wireless stations at St. Petersburg, Fla., Tampa, Nor folk, Newbern and other places but it Is impossible to communicate with Asheville. Several nights ago, the Mt. i Mitchell station picked up a message with ease very distinctly, that was being sent from the ship Minnesota, in the Gulf of Mexico to New York. Still, AsHeville was silent to Mt. Mitchell's repeated calls by wireless. The summit of Mt. Michell is 6,711 feet and the aerial tower for the use of the wireless Is seventy-five feet further up in the air. A 3-horse power gasoline engine is used to. generate the electricity used for the aerial tower, the power being taken direct from the fly-wheel. In this way it is believed that the equipment on Mt. Mitchell is complete and that the trouble does not come from that source. . The top of the tower Is nearly 7,000 feet above the level of the ocean and some have advanced the view to Mr. Dunn and associates in the enter prise that perhaps mineral deposits in that Immediate section had pernaps caused some effect upon the atmos pheric conditions around the tower. This, however, Is a mooted question and Is far from being a settled one. Mr. Dunn is open for suggestions from wireless experts In Asheville and elsewhere. He says that the strange failure of his tower to "pick up Asheville is a source of great dlsap pointment not only to himself but to Asheville Drygoods Co.

We have every many others in the south, especially reason to believe that although prices railroad men, wno are aeepiy i.uer- last year were abnormally high they would still go higher this season. The tobacco market in South Carolina opened on July 18 approximately 25 per cent higher than last year. We are now shipping large quan tities of leaf tobacco to China on ac count of the prohibition of the use of opium in that country, the possi bilities of a much larger trade in that country were never brighter. It will be Impossible for nny shipments to be made to the conti nent but this will not affect us very greatly unless England aids Russia and France by conforming to the Entente. If we can get our tobacco transported to England and they do not actually engage In warfare, ex cept for sentimental reasons we see no reason why tobacco should go much lower. Last year Wilson sold In leaf to bacco $4,000,000 worth and we con fidently expected to increase the sales this year. The Export Leaf Tobacco company of Wilson has this year erected one of the largest factories of the country and In addition have built a warehouse sufficient for a storage of 7,000,000 pounds. The other various enterprises have erected and enlarged buildings at a cost of over $150,000. This market expects to handle about $5,000,000 worth of to bacco this season. Cotton Is King. "As to cotton about three-fifths of the entire cotton crop is exported to the continent and England. 'England taking a fraction more than the con tinent As before stated as tobacco if England does not actually engage In warfare the crop in cotton will only be temporary. If England re mains neutral, the united states ana England will contr I the manufac tured products of the world. It Is a rare opportunity for our southern manufacturers to exploit In South Amertra and get a large part of the trade now held by Germany. We can also re-establish our trade In China, which at one time was con siderable, but for reasons which are not necessary to mention nt .ncen almost entirely wiped out It la a critical time for the south and if we will be patient and our business men and bankers will be patriotic rather than selfish, there is no reason why we should not greatly benefit by this war In a financial way." ested in the question. Why cannot Asheville and . Mt. Mitchell communicate by wireless?- that is the Important question Just now, especially with Mr. Dunn and his experts. THE WEATHER Si n 'O PS 2 SS J C 3 o o of '5 j v n u a Politics at Durham, Durham, Aug. 4. The opposition to the democratic ticket In Durham county has called a convention for August 15, at which time another ticket will be put In the field. Those behind the movement say that the ticket will not bs known as a Pro greMlve or Republican ticket It will simply b. an opposition to the Demo, cratlo ticket ' Th. cause for the Republicans and Progressives not putting out a ticket under either of these names la that there has been soma failure to co-op-rata among the members of these two wings of those who ars not Dem ocrats. A large number of the tralnht Republican element In the party participated In the Democratic primary and hence are disqualified for participation In the election of a ticket opposed to the Democrats. That Is they have taken an oath to support the Democrats In the Nov.m br elections.
