Gives Startling: Sta tittles Thai Can be Reversed bv Preven tive Medicine. According to announcement Dr. Cor. ington, of the State Board of Health, Raleigh, made a most interestjnr speech to an audience of Franklin'* represen tative people in the court bouse here Tuesday. His subject was the eatab Ushment of a real health department in the count; to take the place of the old time oounty physician. In his argu ments be used soo>s statistical facts that were convincing and described the working of the proposed department to gether with the support that would be given by the State Board of Health in a most interesting manner. He showed that, lit accordance with the general statistics, Funklm County had flvs hundred deaths eaeh year and of this number one hundred and seventy-five were from preventable causes, that of nine hundred sick each day of the year one hundred and ninety-two was from consumption. He contrasted the value of human life as a financial loss to show why the county should take further steps by showing that if the same mon ey value of animals were dying each year from a preventable cause immedi ate action would be taken. He endorsed the whole time health officer and that he be furnished with an automobile, and gave a broad explanation of his doties, which if property attended to would re quire the major part of the time of such an officer. The entire scheme is well built and will no doubt within a few years become general all oyer the State. After the address several im promptu responses were given and the meeting was adioumed with a few hap py remarks from our efficient oounty physioian, Dr. J. E. Malone.

A Week at the Moody Bible Institute It was the privilege of the writer to spend a week at the Moody Bible Insti tute of Chicago and to attend the open ing exercises of the last term of its twenty-sixth year, which is marked by the largest enrollment of its history. Almost every State is represented as well as many other countries, aaong them Australia, Norway, Sweden, Ja pan, Canada and the British Isles. From his wide experience and obser vations as an evangelist, Mr. Moody was convinced that there were many men and women who would be enlarged in their Christian lives and become ef ficient workers at home and abroad if only they con Id receive proper training in the English Bible, Gospel Music and Practical Methods of Christian Work. The plans suggested by him were ap proved by men and women who were slose to him snd funds necessary to start the work were contributed by these earnest Christian friends. The Institute began in a small way; but from its beginning until the present there has been a gradual and healthful growth, nnder the blessing of God, and because of Mr. Moody's vision, there comes today from all over the world this call f^r trained workers such as he away back in 1886, had r rayed and planned for. Notwithstanding the crowded condi tion, an Italian department has been opened, the objeot of which is the train ing of young Italians so ss to reach the Italians of this country, and also to reach those In their own country. One of the most zealous of students was an Italian who went from the Institute back to Italy and is now working with oue of the regular denominational Boards here. During the first few davs of the open ing of the term tha'atudents were priv lleged to hear Rev. G. Campbell Mor gan, D. D., of London, who spoke to them on -the theme "Going out after. Soul." He warnad the students not to place side by side with Jesus sny other such as Coofueloos or Buda. "Follow Jeaoa only, and follow him by way of the cross to'thereeurreetion life. Than only can you shepherd the sheep." Death of Bin Rebecca Lancas ter. ?
