Screens Best Protection Against Flies It is high limn for screen doors and windows to bo put in, t IK- State Hoard of Health reminds us in olio of its nwnt bulletins. It says: "Von may liavo doubts or become discouraged when il comes to cleaning up and kcoping NO cloxn that you won't have flics, or when you try to keep them down by poisoning or trapping, but there's one means of protecting yourself against lilies that i.s safi' and effective. This is thorough screening, in this part of tlit> country doors, windows ami porches, upstairs ami downstairs, should be thoroughly screened in Htiminer for the comfort of tln> home and tlie health of the family. Mosquitoes are a health menace as well as flies and thorough screening protects against both. "A few years ago, screening was considered almost as ineffec tive as a means of protecting against Hies as |M)isouiug, disin fecting and a few feeble efforts at cleaning up. None of these methods prohibited flics. They apparently continued to come In their usual large number. Hut the trouble was we did not know how to properly use screens Then only the kitchen and diuing room doors and windows were screened, while the doors and windows of the other part of the house were left unprotected. Later we found that not only all the opining* to the house must have screens in them but that they must fit and be made so fly-tight that no fly could enter. This was found more effective but not until the porches were screened, particularly the luick porch where most of the food was handled-, did we come to know the real safety and couifort that lay behind screened doors, win dows and porches. "Hut," the lioard says, "we must light flies as doggedly as ever through cleanliness which is their starvation, by trapping and poisoning and by faithfully swat lDg, which, however, should always be douc behind tight tit ting screens." A SYMBOL OF HEALTH. The Pythagorl.ms of Ancient Greece ate simple food, practiced temperance-and purity. As a badgi they used the five pointed star Which they regarded as a symbol of health. A red five pointed star appears on each package of Cham berlain's Tablets and still fulfills UH its ancient mission as a symbol of health. If you are troubled with Indigestion, biliousness or constipa tion, get a package of thes? tab lets from your druggist. You will be surprised at the quick relief which they afford. .

I & SUNDAY SCHOOL Lesson Vlll.—Second duarter, For May 20, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, laa. xxviii, 1-13. Memory Veree, 7—Goden Text, I Cor. 9-25—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns The title of this lesson Is "The Im portance of Keif Control," and that fits well into the last lesson, for we can not be faithful unless Spirit controlled. According to the Golden Text and Its context, the self life must be persist ently reckoned dead If we would win the Incorruptible crown. Paul In that passage had no thought or reference to the loss of his soul, but was speaking only of service, which he knew might be rejected or disapproved, and lie suf fer lons, according to I Cor. 111, I I, 15. This Is culled a lempurauro lesson. I suppose because of Its references to drunkards it ml strong drink ( verses 1, 3, 7, 8), but the whole chapter and the context refer to those who scorn the word of the Lord and take refuge in lies (verses 11, 15|. No doubt the priest and prophet, as well us the people, were given to wlrte and strong drink and thus were opt of the right way. drinking themselves drunk like those ttr 1 Kings xvl, II; xx. 111. Tlie fllthl ness ami beastliness of ac tual drunk ards are seen In lesson verse H, and those who continue sueli cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but there are forgiveness uiij salvation for ail kinds of sinners If tliey will only turn to the Lord, according to I Cor. vi, 0-11. In the next chapter (xxix, 0) there are a drunkenness und a staggering with wldi h wine iiiul strong drink Imil uoth Ing to do. It was the religious, schol arly kind so prevalent today, a sleep from the I-ord because they turned away from Ills word and said that they could not understand It. He colled it drawing near to lllm with their mouth only, while tlielr heart was far from lllm, and they were*glv- Ing heed to precepts of men and not to Ills precepts (xxlx, 10-131. They said (o the seers, "See not." and to the prophets: "Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things. Prophesy deceits. * * * Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us" ilsa. xxx, H-lli. According to Ezek. xxxlll, 31, they hear, but do not; with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goelli after their covetoug ness. It was Just the same when our l.ord was i ll earth, for lie quoted from Isaiah and said, "In vain do they wor ship Me, /Teaching for doctrines the eommaii'lineilts of men (Matt, xv, 8,0). There fa.j.mly one true fininilution, mid (lint in the trieil stone, the precious cornerHtooe. the 'sure foundation of xxvlll, Hi, M|M)keu of so plainly In 1 Cor. 111, 11.

To-day, May lfc, 1917, U6 years years ago tiie battle oi Alamance was lougiit OJ tiie old liiiltttoiv and Salisbury road about nine ii.nes Soutnweat ol Burlington. Hie mi.ne, oi course, did not originate irom our county name, because date ol tneb attio preceded me cre ation ol our country by many years ine uate olt net) atile was May iti, 1771, anu Alamance was created or made irom a part oi Orange in 1818. i'ne battle of Alamance toon its name from tne stream on wnicn or near Wnicn it was iougni—Ala mance. To locate t.iiugs b.> streams or i.iii or mountain in tuese days was a natural way and tne o'njr way as Uiere was very li'-tie else to use—lew villages and no towns. Tne battle was fougut betw-en Uov. iryon, WHO was governor oi tne Carolina Colony and tne itegu laors. ine "Kegulalors" were a band of iarmers w.io banded them selves to "leguiate" t.ie "unjust" not tne just, toliec t iJll o* Uov. iryon gat.iered his men in tne J'.ast auu marcneu against tne i{eguiator.> in tne i> eSi » est irom niiisboio, t.ie ca t i, tal ol tiie colony. ine rteguiaioi s were untrained for war. mey were not ior military battle, they were onl.> partly arn.cd and were not sup plied witn the munitions oi war. iryon on tiie other hand had train ed men and several pieces oi aiui »ery. • mere were some negotiations oe tween the two armies lo a settlement without bloodstKii. bin it was ol no avail. J ijon, ;t bifju, became somewuat enraged and ex claimed, "tire! i'irel lire on tiiein or on nie." xnese words would a» so indicate that nis men wero slovv to lire on tneir brotners whom cause seemed so just, une i istorian by..j i.iat Tryon lired tne urst gun on a prisoner named Kobe* t i'hompson kiiuk* i.i.u instantly'. This statement raised in ter's mind, two questions: i'irsl, now could there be prisoners uiien there Had been no war'.' detonu, wuy did he want to shoot a pris oner? Such procedure is the rules of war; and tnere were tnosc just in front ol him who were not piisoners ai.ci ready to B.ioot a. him. These two questions remain ed in the writer's mind lor years unanswered. Since 1 nave lounu iwo answers varying some in taeii nature. One runs ti>us: as iryon crossed llaw river below tne pres ent town of Clraham, near the liv er he took a farmer by the name ol Kobert Thompson prisoner be cause Thompson sided with the Kegulators. When ihompson saw the Kegulators on the battlefield o. Alamance lie started to go to tnem and was killed by Tryon. Ji ow ul. of this actually occurred may be a matter ol conjecture, but thai Kobert Thompson was tne first man Killed all have agreed. ine oattie raged lor two hours. The regulators got out 01 ammu nition and. were driven from tne licld. Try on lost nine men Killed and Ul wounded. Ol tne Kegulators there were 31 killed and auout auu wounded. Of tne prisoners taken by Tryon some, six or more, wei\ nanged on the ground, others were kept for a public execution and military display at ilillsboro. Tlius ended the lirst battle of the Kev oiulion. A beautiful and yet pathetic cto ry is told in connection witn the execution ol the prisoners at ilills boro. Ui s said tnat h small lau approached the oliicers in cnarg. ol tne execution and said, "Let uiej bo hanged in place of tne man. And the officer turned to the boy and said, "what do you mean?" The youtn responded, "That is my la ther and let me be hanged in his place and let him go home to worn lor motner and little brotners and sisters." The oflicer exclaimed, "A people made of so stern a stun wi.i some day be free.'- freedom wai> seen in embryo, and a prophet spoke. Mark the fact that the Battle oi Alamance was fougnt May lb, 1771, and the Nation did not declare in de|HUidenCe until July 4, litil. It takes bravery for t.iose in hum ble station to Bet tne fashion for that which is not yit fashionable, would claim tnat lis Independence was not declared until '7b, the bat tle ol Alamance in 'II was a reod lion anil does not belong to tne Kevolution. llu» Kevolution i» re bellion against tne power in au thority, and that is what the Battle of Alamance was. So ireedom nad htr birth ont ho Battlefield ol Ala mance. Long before Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill were writ ten in tiie hlblory of warfare and bloodshed, Alamance was sealed in solid truth, andt he Kegulators had spoken the first word with shot anu shell against British tyrany,and for eternal deliverance for 'ne Ameri can people. When the great era of Freedom comes, when the Kaiser's govern ment shall have been reduced to nuught and a Democracy shull have been placed in its stead, w hen Monarchies everywhere shall have been blotted from the face of the earth and Kepublics have taken their places; and the question shad go forth who has taken olf the chains and who has given us the liberty, the answer shall be, the heroes who sleep in silent slum ber beneath the sod on the Battle field of Alamance were the first to light the torch. In lb#o (and this is an interesting story within itself) the first monu ment was eree'ed to mark this sa cred spot. A small shaft on a base to match was pined upon a stone IH-destal. The stone pedestal was not built as firm and secure as it miglrt have been and in a few years It began to give away. In 1895, Just fifteen years after the lirst monument was erected the County Commissioners had the monument repaired by having built of soldid stone granite a pedestal for the original shaft and base. This repair with the original shaft makes a solid symmetrical little monument, and it stands there now a silent, lone little sentinel, keep ing watch over the graves of th first martyrs to ireedom's cause.
