FEDERAL GRAND JURY INDICTS
118 CORPORATIONS AND

New York, March G.---One hun
dred and eighteen corporations
and 71 individuals'in the business
of producing and selling coal were
indicted here today uudor the
Sherman anti-trus . law, true
Mils being found by ilie Federal
grand jury investigating the high
cost of food and fuel.
One hundred and eight corpora
tions and 55 individuals are named
in the first indictment and ten
corporations and sixteen indi
viduals in the second.
Defendants in the first indict
ment are charged w th -partici
pating in a combination among
selling agents and producers of
22,000,000 out of 35,1/00,000 tons
of coal produced an mi ally, in cer
taln districts of West Virginia
and in Western 1 Virginia, arbi
trarily to fix prices at which this
coal is marketed.
Defendants in the second indict

in Wedt Virginia and Virginia
and with a selling ageut, arbi
trarily to fix prices and to pool

Sold coal at fixed prices.

Country School Children More Un
healthy Thao City School
Children.
That country children are less
healthy and are handicapped by
more physical defects than are
the children of the cities, incliul-
ng even children of the slums, ix
tlie story that figures are telling
most every day, according to Dr
Thomas I). Wood, professor of
Physical Education in Columbia
University. Dr. Wood banes his
statement on official figures drawn
from fifty or more sources which
show that country school children
are from .34 to 14.22 percent,
more unhealthy than city school
vhlldreu.
As a remedy against this con
dition Dr. Wood propones making
the 250,000 rural schools in Ameri
ca just so inany community health
centers for he believes that rural
b.'ul health must be remedied iu
the rural schools. Hesays: "There
is only one way to talk health on
a modern scientific basis to.the
people iu the country districts,
and that one way is through the
public schools. Kdueate thechil-
dren Hi school into health haWts;
reach out through them nml raise
tho health standards of their
homes, and tho health conditions
of posterity are assured."
The program of reform that Dr.
Wood would adopt would lirst
have to do with employing bettor
qualified teachers, especially in
matters relating to health and the
welfare of the pupils. Then he
would form among the pupils
health clubs lor the pur|tose of
training the -ttmldren in health
habits. He would give them a
warm lunch prepared in the school
kitchen and would see that they
have directed play and recreation.
Fortherinore, he would nee that
no child was knowingly exposed
to disease and that every child
should have a health examination
once a year with whatever treat
ment was necessary. He proposes
that every school shall hsve a
school nurse or inspector aud (hat
the latter should he the whole
time health ofllcer of the county.
His motto is, "Better health Is to
a striking extent a purchasable
commodity, aud national economy
demands that we purchase it."
Major Chan M. Stedman of
Greensboro, who has just begun
his fourth term a* a Representa
tive iu Congress from the fifth

Under the several heads above
a number of items of special in
terst to every teacher will be dis
cussed. This will be the round up
business meeting ol the year; ana
it is very important that eachj anJ
every teacher should be present.
Tte following quotation, which is
full of timely trusth, is taken from
last week's Progressive Farmer.
"There is still time to arrange for
County Commencement if your ed
ucational authorities take fiolu
juickly. And if such a commence
ment is planned in your county,
encourage your loca' school to do
its full part. It means to "draw
out", not to stuff in. And as a
means of drawing out and develop
ing the inate powers of or
girl and developing qualities of en
thusiasm and leadership, the coun
ty commencement is worth all the
time and the little money that it
costs. On the same principle, too,
it is worth while for every School
to liave a "last day" with exhib
its, recitations, dialogues, songs ana
award prizes."
Alamance will hold her sixth an
nual County Commencement this
year on Friday, April 20th.
Dr. W. A. Harper, Pi-eat. of Elon
College—Alamance's Colf.ge— w.ll
deliver the literary address.
The indications are that we
will have splendid co-operation
throughout the entire county. Sev
eral schools that have done little
heretofore have promised to take
an active part this year.
The annual Colored Educational
Rally and School Exhibition will be
held on Friday, March 31st. The
colored people of the county have
organized their forces and they
gjve promise of a good exhibition
this year.
TYPHOID DECREASINGADEGEN
ERATIVE DISEASES IN
CREASING.
Sanitation Has Accomplished Results'
People Must be Taught
How to Live.
According to the annual report
of tho vital statistics department
of the State Hoard of Health for
tho year 1915, diseases that are
due to filth and flies are on the
decrease in North Carolina while
diseases due to habits of living,
called degenerative diseases, are
much on the increase. The'death
rates for typhoid fever and diar
rheal diseases of babies in 1915,
the diseases that are spread main
ly by filth and flies, show a de
crease of 4 6 per 100,000 popula
tion for typhoid fever and B.for
diarrhael diseases over the year
before.
The diseases that show a decid
ed increase are diseases of the
heart and arteries, apoplexy and
paralysis, pneumonia, Bright's
and diabetee, and cancer. Tuber
culosis remains about the same.
While the cancer death rate shows
an increase over the year before,
North Carolina is one of tin five
States rated with a low cancer
death rate—lower than that of the
United States. The other States
are Utah, Kentucky, Virginia and
Montana.
Another interesting point noted
from the figures of the report is
that while the State's death rate
from typhoid fever is decreasing
every year It is still something
like 100 per cent, higher than the
typhoid rate for the registration
area of the Uuiled States. This
interpreted by the State Board of
Health is that while much has
already been accomplished in
health work in the State there
can be no letting up until not only
typhoid is controlled but th it
every North Carolinian knowsihe
gospel of good health and disease
prevention. Not until then, says
the Hoard, will the death rate
from degenerative diseases be ex
pected to fall. I'eople must know
liow to live right before they can
be oxj>ecied to live long.

GARDEN FOR HEALTH.
Do It Also For Sake of Economy.
•
Plant a garden for health's sake
aa well as economy.
"If there ever was a time" says
the State Board of Health, "when
every effort should be made to
plant a garden it ia now. There
are two main reasons for this. A
healthful diet calls for plenty of
vegetables. At least one meal of
the day summer and winter should
be largely of vegetables and fruits.
The second is for economy. _ The
price of vegetables and every other
of food is still soaring, and plenty
of home raised vegetables will oe
| one of the means of bringing it
down.
"In some parts of the country,
especially in large congested cities,
there are movements, whose pur
pose it is to see that vacant lots
are not left idle the whole year
round, but rather that some one is
allowed to grow on them during
the summer table vegetables. Then
there is another town and city
movement that would turn unsight
ly back yards that are idle or used
largely for rubbish heaps into veg
etable gardens. These movements
realize not only the value and ne
cessity ot vegetables in the daily
food, how essential they are to
health, to efficiency and to
economy, but how by a little fore
sight and energy there could be
so many more vegetables raised
which would be a thou
sands of dollars, as well as a great
factor in reducing the high £ost of
living.
"Here in North Carolina, we do
not have to scramble around for
a charity garden. As a general
thing there are more garden spots
than there are those wanting to
cultivate them, and there are scores
of back yards and garden places
that are used for • rubbish or left
idle that should be used for grow
ing vegetables. But what North
Carolina particularly needs is a
movement to teach her people the
importance of fresh ve&.tables from
a health standpoint on the daily
bill of fare, also the importance
from a money standpoint or grow
ing vegetables at home instead ol
buying them at the rharket.
"Thanks to the canning club girls
throughout the • State we are al
ready being taught how to make
proper use of vegetables and to
preserve them one season for an
other, and it is through their work
we hope to come to the proper ap
preciation of vegetables and learn
not only how to eat them but how
to raise them.
The cost of the "measures neces
sary to maijptainSweeden's neutral
ity" last year was about $20,000,000,
according to the official figures,
and it is expected that the amount
may be increased this year.

wind-whipped flags over Pennsylvania
avenue from the Capitol to the White
House between open lines of khaki,
bronzed guardsmen from New York,
home from service on the border.
was the first time since the Inaugura
tion of Lincoln in 1861 that troops hal
guarded the line of march.
Despite the wind and lowering
clouds, which early in the day dark
ened the city with threats of a con
tlnuation of the downpour, almost
every foot of vantage space along the
mile-long way was occupied, and the
great reviewing stands, windows, bal
conies and housetops held thousands
more.
The crowd waited patiently behind
the stout ftee\ cables stretching from
the White House to the Capitol, hun
dreds of early comers being In posi
tion at 7 o'clock, four hours before
the President and his party left the
White House. Ten hours later, when
the last of the marchers was nearlrg
the reviewing stand, the line still
held.
Presidential Party.
President Wilson and his escort,
Squadron B of the Second Cavalry,
left the White House at 11 o'oloclc,
the President and Mrs. Wilson riding
iii an open carriage drawn by four
horses, preceded by mounted police
and cavalry and flanked by secret
service men. The Vice President fol
lowed in another carriage, with his
smart-looking escort of cadets from
Culver Military Academy, mounted on
black horses.
As the procession left the Court of
Honor, opposite the White House, the
cavalry formed a hollow square, with
the President's carriage In the cen
ter. It was shortly after 1 o'clock
when the Inaugural parade started up
the avenue, the President and hi* es
cort leading.
Meantime the sun Had come out,
drying the sand sprinkled over the
way. The line moved slowly between
two New York regiment* the
Twelfth and the Sixty-ninth—stand
ing at attention. They were the visi
ble evidence of elaborate steps taken
to Insure the President's safety.
With bands blaring many tunes and
flags whipping, the parade got under
way—a long line of brilliant color.
First came the Weßt Point cadets,
overcoated, a marching mass of gray
and white whose clock-like move
ments were as of one man. They
were followed by the Annapolis ca
dets, 1,200 strong, wearing their deep
blue overcoats.
Military Organizations.
Then came the long line of military
organizations, guardsmen, sailors,
coast artillerymen and cadet school*
which formed the first and second
divisions, under command of Major
General Tasker H. Bliss and Brig.
Gen. Williams A. Mann. As the head
of the line reached the Court of Hon
oi the marchers stopped and remain
ed at attention for .20 minutes while
the President prepared to take the
place In the reviewing stand.
A bugle gave the signal, and the
long line mbved again. The Inaugu
ral parade was on, with the Presi
dent standing where President* long
have stood on inauguration day to re
view the marchers. For nearly four
hours they filed past—sailors, soldier*,
guardsmen, cadets, veterans, Gover
nors and their staffs, thousands of
civilians in civic and political organi
zations, Indians here and there, a line
of women, and hundreds of brass
bands.
The crowds In the reviewing stand
and on th* streets were chilled by
the wind. The paraders marched
stoutly in the face of it. In sudden
gusts, it picked up the sand and
blinded them, swept their colors from
their grasp and sent their hats high
In the air.
At times, whole organizations had
to halt while, a particularly severe
guest sent Its force, musicians had
to empty th* sand from their Instru
ments In the midst of playing and
color-bearers by the hundred had to
furl their colors. But the crowd was
mors orderly than usual, and th* pa
raders took It all In good part.
It was after 8 o'clock when the
parad* ended. Pennsylvania avenue
no longer looked Its customary spick
and span cleanliness. Instead, It re
sembled Si dusty road, with the wind
whirling the dust and the litter of
torn papers Into the spirals.

March 11, 1917.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Anything that will give a man a liv
ing, provide that which he needs to j
supply bis physical necessities, seems
to most people to be ffie all Important
thing. Here is a man who abundantly
fed more than 5,000 people and by His
helpers waited on them all and served
them. They must not lose sight of
Him, for with Him they hever need be
hungry. So they follow Him across
the sea and fln4 Him. He knew what
was In them. He read their hearts
and tol.l them, why they sought Him
(verse 2d). Then He told them of some
thing more important than life for the
body—everlasting life auj bread from
heaven and n resurrection body whlcii
would never die. In.other discourses
He told them, or, rather, "his own dis
ciples. that if they made the coming
of His kingdom their first concern tfieir
Heavenly Father would see that they
never should lnj"k food or raiment
(Matt, vi, 31-33; Luke xii. S9-31). But
before any one can make the coming
of His kingdom their first business
they must obtain eternal life as the
gift of God, and this is more Important
than keeping the body alive,- a thing
that only God Himself can do, for He
glveth life and breath and all things,
and no one can keep alive his own soul
(Acts xvii, 25, 28; Ps. xxil, 20). To the
man who thought he had plenty to
keep his body and soul together for a
long time GoJ said: 'This night thy
soul shall be required of thee. Then
whose shall those things be?"
Tile great thing Is to be rich toward
God by receiving Himself as our life
and then ever be found laying ,up treas
ure in heaven by a whole hearted mis
sionary life of winning others to Him
and thus helping to hasten the coming
of His kingdom (Luke xii, 15-21). To
the question of these people, What
shall We do that we might work the
works of God? His answer was that
the one thing needful, the one essen
tial thing, was to believe on Him
whom God had sent—that Is, receive
Him (verses/28, 29; 1, 12). Then they
ask for a sign, some work of Ills,
that might believe on Him, and
this after they had just seen Him feed
thousands of people with a few loaves
and fishes. What more did they want?
What more could tbe.v ask? Then they
seem to make light of His recent feed
ing of the multitude by quoting Moses
as feeding Israel In the wilderness.
This led to Ills further discourse on eat
ing nimself as the real manna, the true
bread'from heaven. Mark His wonder
ful words, "My Father glveth you the
true bread from heaven, for the bread
of God is lie which cometh down from
heaven and glveth life unto the world;"
"I am the living bread which came down
from heaven; if any man eat of this
bread he shall live forever, and the
bread that I will give is my flesh,
whleh I will give for the life of the
world." "Except ye eat the flesh of
the Soil of Man and drink Ills blood
*ye have no life in you" (verses 32, 33,
38, 42, 51, 53).
No mere man could say such things
and he truthful or In His right mind,
but He vr'as the God-mau, God manl
fnt in the flesh, and He was The
Truth. Compare verses 47, 54 and
note that He says to cat His flesh and
drink nis blood is the'siame as believ
ing in Him, for the result of each is
eternal life, and there are not two
ways of obtaining eternal life. Com
pare verse 50 and I John iii, 24, nnd
noto that oat!ng"His flesh and drinking
His blood bring the same result as
keeping His commandments. So the
one great thing i s just believing Him,
receiving Him. appropriating Him, as
we do to Hi for our bodies. As He
lived by tbD Father who sent Him, we
are to eat Him and live by Him (verse
f>7). This Js uo new figure, for the
prophets irn'crstoxl It, one saying,
"Thy words were found, and J did eat
them, and thy word was unto me the
Joy and rejoicing of •■my heart," an
other being admonished In these
words: "Eat that thou flndct; eat this
roll, and go speak unto the house of
Israel; * * * fill tlicy -bowels with
this roll that I give thee * • • and
speak with my words unto fiem" (Jer.
xv. 10; Ezek. ill, 1-4).
Because of these say! igs the Jews
murmured at nim, as did also many of
His disciples, yet lie went fit) to speak
of nsi-ending up where lie was before
(ve-ses 41. 01, 02). Many of Ills dis
ciples even went lia k and walked no
more with Him, but If they bad been
tire disciples they would hove con
tlnueil with Illm. As It Is written,
"They went out from us. but they were
not of us" (verse 00 «nd I John 11. 19).
Simon Fetor's answer when ne asked.
"Will ye also go away?" is very nota
ble: "Lord, to whom slia'l we go?
Thou hast the words of e'ernnl life,
and we believe and are sue that thou
art that Christ, the Sou of the, Living
God" (verses 07 'W). Perhaps no word
in this discourse has brought more
comfort to souls than the last clause
of verse 37, "Him that cometh to Me I
will In no wise cast out." So when
any unsaved sinner or any wandering
backslider com"s to Him they may be
rertaln of being accepted. The first
clause of that vc*se should rest u«
ronccrnlng the sum completion of nis
:hurch.
