: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."

Mr. Woodard gave the following in

today:
Everybody knows." said Mr.
Woodard, "that two-thirds of the cot

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.

twice as much as formerly and from

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. '.

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

up with the demand. 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.

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.
