" The Journal of the American Medical Association says, in a re cent editorial, that the attitude of tbe Department-of Agriculture on any subject connected with pub lie health 11 1 - Wheri in doubt, let the public take - the 'risk. For years those who are competent to speak on the subject have'declared that the use 'of saccharin in food stuffs is ' deleteriousto healthy but the t Department of Agricul ture permitted its use, in unlimit ed quantities with understanding that the referee board- was to in vestigate the question-and report on it. In the course -of time the report was sent in and it was ad verse to the use of saccharin 1 On the strength of ; the board's find ings, the department declared that after July 1, 1911, foods contain ing saccharin would be regarded as adulterated within the mean ing of the Foe d and Drugs Act. Naturally enough, those manufacturers' that have grown rich in substituting a cheap drug saccharin for an expensive but wholesome foodstuff sugar a t onse brought all the preesu8e pos sible to bear, to have the decision of the department either rescind ed or modified . As is usually the case, when the interests of the manufacturers clash with the interests" of the, pubho health, public health got the worst of it and the users of saccharin were given an additional six months -during whioh it would still be le gal to add this chemical to food stuffs. As Jaouaty 1, 1912, the end of the period cf probation, drew near, a little more pressure was applied to those officials who are supposed to stand between the public and the food sophisti cators. Again the officials yield ed and another extension of time was given to February 1, 1912. The pewspapers for January 30, ; 1912, contain the statement that still another extension has been - i given,. to March 1, 1912. How much longer this will go on can be best.judged by those who are familiar with the methods of of ficial Washington. The spectacle is not a pretty one and does not tend to increase public confidence in the Department of Agriculture. 6asoling liacblnes Rulei Out. - A Raleigh dispatch says: Attorney General T. W.

Attorney General Bickett played the machine recently to the amount of forty cents and came out of the game with $1.50 a net profit of $1:10 which he turn ed oyer to "the barber shop "in which the machine is located. The attorney made seven successive plays that broueht only the gum each, then he got two -checks. He played one of these and brought out twenty checks, worth a dol lar, v He pronounced the operation of the machine "gambling once removed. but clearly, under the ban of the law. The operator plays not for what the machine will deliver at that play, but for what it will indicate for de livery in the next play.

More than one death- outiof every; three deaths occuring between the ages of 20 and 35 are"-from consump tion. -These -ire facts proven" by vital statistics. "With these facts and figures it behooves us to avoid the disease - : To do this we do not neccessa rily need to avoid all consump tives. A careful consumptive is not dangerous. The only con sumptives that spread the disease are the careles spitters," and those that oocgh or sneeze with out using a paper napkin or handkerchief before the mouth to catch the spray or tiny dropleti thrown eff . Avoid these careless consumptives. It is never ad visable to sleep in the same bed or tne same room witn a con sumptive. By far the best way to avoid consumption is to build up a strong body. We ari all ex posed - to consumption when : we breathe foul, dusty air, or when we eat or drink articles of food that have be9n exposed to sush air. Meat and milk from tuber culosis cattle may also oonvey consumption. The surest way to keep from getting' consumption when we are so frequently ex posed to it is to keep our bodies in excellent physical condition. This will prevent many other dis eases and, in faot, it is the only lreal way to live. By always keeping ourselves in good phyai cal condition we get the most' out of life and put the most into it. To be able to cure . the . disease it is neccessary to recognize it early. " For then it is most curable. The best indications of con sumption are a gradual loss of weight not due toother evident oauaes. i-osa or weignt is usually accompained by a gradual loss of strength and vitality. If the body temperature goes much above 99 in the afternoon or re mains much below 98 in the fore noon, it should be regarded with suspioion. Any -or all of these conditions may or may not be ao- co'mpanisd by a cough. If mat ter is occasionally coughed up in the early stages it will not -often be found to oontain the germs of consumption, but if the germs are found by the aid of the mi croscope, it is sure indication that the. 'disease exists. Heroic efforts should then be made to cure the disease. . : The prime essentials in the cure of the disease are rest, fresh air- and abundance of good, wholesome -food. : Milk and eggs are excellent articles of diet Jot Consumptives. o medicines are Lecessary 'unless . other diseases are also present.- -Avoid all' al coholic drinks and patent medi cines "The least thev can do is to rob you. of your money, and the worst, thev invariably do, is to rob you of your life. ; "J- ...

It is i said that Mr, Settle is willing to make the race if the ; local option plank is included' in the platform, not otherwise, and many declare for this reason that he will not be the nominee, for they argue hat the Republican party is committed to prohibition just as much so as the Democratic party, and cannot afford to break faith with the temper ance people.

It is Said ta he Accomplishing Yerj Bene- nciai ffernortheFaroifrs. ' Washington, D.O., February , Secretary - Wilson has ?uoivou buu loiiowmg report: on Demonstration Work of the 'De partment in North Carolina. uemonstration work is only four years old m North Carolina, yet it has become , a power there for progressive agriculture, atd through this, for the. general .'up lift of the home life of the far mer. Many farmers, advanced in age, deplore the fact that demon stration woik did not begin sev eral de"cades ago so that they might live JoDg enough to enjoy the fruits of its teachings, there by reapmg the benefits of. mere 03untuul crops . produced at a minimum cost.of cash and labor. Many farmers who have been in the work one yearstate that" as successful farmers they are only cne year old. -. The work is based upon sound, well-tt ied apd essential princi ples .such as a deep soil, plenty 'of humus, improved seed, inten sive cultivation, rotation of crops, etc. That the work is ac complishing the purpose for which it was degsigned, is shown in a number of ways. For in stance the average yield of corn in North Carolina', for the past forty years has been a little less than fifteen buihels per . acre. The yields - under- Demonstration methods were as follows: In 1908, 8? bushels per acre ; in 1909, 40 bushels per acre, and in 1910 (4.861 acres) 43 bushels per aore. The records sor 1911 are not complete yet j but will prob ably be greater than for 1910, isowilhtfridrdlni; theTacX-thkiri severe drought, cut off the yield through the the central part of the State. The Demonstration work stands for the growing on the farm every thing needed there in the way of home supplies. The careful re cords kept in the work show that these can be grown for very muoh less than market prices. The matter, therefore, is an economic one . - - The organization.: in North Carolina, at present, cchsists of a state agent, two district agents, fifty-one lecal agents and over three thousand farmers con ducting demonstration plats av eraging thres acres each. The two largest demonstrations the past season were one of forty acres of com that produced fifty bu3hels par aore and one of a hundred asres of cotton that grew a u ale and a quarter of cot ton per acre. The demonstrators are superyied by the local agents who in turn are instructed by district and state agents. ... The Demonstration Work has hearty co-operation with the A. M. College, the Far n.eia' Union and other progressive organiza tions . The State r Department pf Agriculture t is now co-operating financially and otherwise. 1 Lbal aid for the work for: present sea son amounts so : , $1& 000.00. This shows 4hat; the people; are interested in the work. ; .
