years doctors pronounced It a local dhiease
and prescribed loeal remedies, and by oon;
stantly failing to oure with local treatment,
Brenounced8 renounced it lnourable. Sclenoe has proven
atarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
v therefore requires constitutional treatment.

Tone tonight and wake up feeling
great. It's perfectly harmless, so
give it to your children any time.
It can't salivate, so let them eat

UNIVERSITY IN WORLD WAR.
' Of Alumni sad Meats 2,285 in
Service-Number of Dwto>
Cor. of The- Gleaner.
Chapel Hill, N. C., Nov. 16.
A total of 2,285 alumni and stu
> dents of the University of Norih
i Carolina entered the service oi
i the United States in the world
war, according to a report read On
i Armistice Day by Dean Andrew
H. Patterson. These ranged from
the Secretary of the Nayy down
through nearly all ranks lathe
army and navy and includes stqk*
dents in the army training corps
and civilian experts called into
service by such organisations aa
the War Fin&noe Hoard wad the
Amerioan University Union.
Topping the Hat is Secretary
Josephus Daniels, who studied
law at tbe University. Included,
too, are 3 brigadier generals, 12
colonels, 9 lieu tenant-colonels, 68
majors. 100 captains, 265 first
lieutenants, 341 second* lieuten
ants, 6 chaplains. In tbe navy
were 4 commanders, 2 lieutenant
commanders, 1 paymaster, 1 as
sistant paymaster, 11 lieutenants,
senior grade, 27 lieutenants, junior
grade, and 35 ensigns. In avia
tion were 43, in the training-carps
were 677, and in all other bcaifehes
were 694.
Of these 21 were killed in ac
tion or died -of wounds, and 22
died of disease, and 19 were cited
for extraordinary heroism in ac
tion, receiving variouß awards
from the American or Allied gov
ernments. The highest ranking
officer who was cited for service
in the field was Col. Joseph Hyde
Pratt/ State Geologist and mem
ber of the University faculty, who
commanded the 105 th Engineers
of tbe 30th Division, and Col.
Sidney W. Minor, who was with
one of the infantry regiments of
the 30th or Old Hickory Division.
Thfe record in the World l -War
compares favorably with the
record University men made in
the Civil War, but does not equal
it. In tbe Civil War 40 percent
of the alumni of the University
were under arms, a higher pro
portion , than any institution,
North or South, could show, and
of the younger alumni 55 f>ercent
entered the service. Yale, for
instance, gave 25 percent of its
alumni in the-Civil War and Vir
ginia gave the same proportion.
Overcrowded conditions at the '
University have forced tbe stu
dents to make a curtailment in
the persons going to' the dances of
the German Club, a student or
ganization. Too many dancers
spoil a dance, tfee.students point
out, and they say that Bynum
Gymnasium is now too small lor
-the University 4ances. Conse
quently they have bean forced,
with regret, t» limit tfee dancers
to students, alumni, aadwnanbere
of the faculty, and their pa*« era,
the overcrowded conditions at re
cent daacee have detracted faoin
the enjoyment of aUpreße»tf > «eys

club, and was neces
sary somewhere. A few yeans ago l
the spaoe was ample.

had never lived In snow huta, bqt In

where the natives do live In snow

to convert them to any other dwell

WHY Tilt IUULRJUI
NEED MORE MONEY
PREBCNT BASIS OP OPERATING
EXPENSE IS TWO BILLIONS
ABOVE Itl7
WAGES AND MATERIALS SOAR
Biaeewe explained by Interatate Com
meree Oemiwleelen in the
Rate Decision.
Why It waa neceeaary to IncreaM
mllroed freight rates 40 per cant. Ii
Eastern territory, SB per cent In AVe«t
era territory and 25 per cent each It
the Mountain and Southern districts
together with substantial increases It
passenger rates Is shown by thes
figures:
Railway operating expenses In th«
iMt year before the government oon
trol (1917) were 42,860,000,000. It
Mil, although much less business wat
handled than Is lfl7, operating ex
penses ware $4,420,000,0«0, an lncreas*
of U,M0,000,000 over 1817.
But during 1019, wages and material
oosts were on a rising scale, so that
by the termination of Federal control
last spring the annual basis of oper
atlng oosts had some |200,00000
more, making the total Increase In aa
nnal operating expenses upwards oi
$1,700,040,000. To this how must' bf
added $>5,000,000 of additional
wages, which makes the new basil
of operating expenses more than $2,
300,000,000 in excess of I*l7.
Against this Increase in operating ss
penses, whloh does not include In
eraased taxes or Increased cost ol
capital, there hare been total ad
vanoes in freight and passenger ratei
Of about $2,400,000,000, of which SBO4,
000,000 was authorised In 191$ by tin
government and $1,600,084,000 by tlx
Interstate Commerce Commission la
the recent award.
Oper sting Ratio Causae Concern.
In the rate decision the Interstate
Commerce Commission says:
- "Not only has there been a sharj
decline in railway operating incom«
daring the last three or four years,
but the operating ratio has Increased
at a rate that caases serious concent
"Tor tbe period of fire years, be
ginning with 1912 and ending wltt
1814, the Eastern carriers were spend
tng out of every dollar of operatini
revenue received approximately 71
cents for operating expenses.
"This Increased to 75.01 cents la
1917, to 85.82 cento In 1918, to 88,51
cento la ISIS, aad to 87.48 la the flrai
four month* of H24. I '
"Whan tt Is considered that oper
atlng expenses do not Include railwai
tax accruals, uncoil ecta Me ulinai
revenoss, )olnt facility rents, him ol
eoulpnMnt rents tor lease of nad,
Interest on funded aad enfiladed debt,
and ether fixed charges, dividends,
and certain other ltema. the above (Is
ores ate significant.
"The operating ratio for the flrsl
four months el 1920 means that durtai
that period, after paymeat of operat
ing eapeases, there wes left 2.81
cents out of each dollar tor the pay
ment of taxes and the other Items Jsst
mentioned.
"Daring the period of six years, be
tflnnfatg with 1912 and ending alt I
1917, tt took approximately 28.79 cestt
