METHODISTS MODIFY TIME LIMITJ
One of the most interesting
discussions held in the general
conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church, south, in session in
Atlanta for several days past,
was that over the question of the
abolition of the four-year time
limit on Methodist preachers.
The committee on revisals pre
sented both majority and minor
ity reports, the former favoring
the removal of the time limit.
After a lengthy discussion, ex
tending over two days, by a vote
of 155 to 131 a paragraph was in
serted in the cburch discipline
qualifying the time limit by em
powering bishops to continue a
minister in a pastorate on the
request of a quarterly confer
ence, supported by a majority of
the presiding elders in the bish
op's cabinet at an annual confer
ence. The effect of the change
is to permit a minister hereafter
to retain a pastorate for a prac
tically unlimited period where
the congregations which he serves
desire his retention. Some of
those advocating the change de
clared that the time limit was an
" antiquated measure, a heartless
piece of machinery, frequently
preventing young ministers from
aspiring to the highest positions
in the church, and that the time
shad come when it was necessary
in order that a preacher may do
his best work that he remain
Jtfith a church so long as he gave
-satisfaction. The status of the
presiding elders was allowed to
jremain unchanged and they will
continue to be forced to move
every four years. -
Another matter passed on fa
vorably by the conference worthy
of note was the extension of suf
frage to women members of the
church. After forty years of
effort, the paragraphs in the dis
cipline prohibiting women from
serving as stewards or being
members of the quarterly con
ference, was ordered stricken
from the book of laws.
RED CROSS DRIVE NEXT.
FT1
r
On next Monday, the 20th, the
Red Cross drive covering every
city, village and neighborhood
throughout the country begins.
The sum of $100,000,000 is to be
raised in the week given over to
this patriotic work in which ev
eryone should do his bit. The
good work which the
Red Cross is doing in
2??)l WEmfa rr mil- olr inw
both at home and "over there,"
is so well known as to admit of
no discussion on this point. A
certain definite amount has been
allotted to every county and com
munity to subscribe, and wo
doubt not that the goal set will
be reached.
Many examples have been giv
en during the present war of
how the Red Cross has been a
powerful force in reducing the
suffering and adding to the con",
forts of the soldiers and of tre
civilians in the battle zones
abroad. In one item alone, or e
million sweaters have been sup
plied to our soldiers andT sailors,
half of them made in American
homes, a record of which Ameri-.
can women may well be proud.
In innumerable ways the Red
Cross administers to the wound
and alleviates their suffering,
making it as endurable as possible.
TiME RECORD IN SHIPBUILDING.
The skill, dispatch and effici
ency of American workmanship
was splendidly demonstrated re
centlywhen all records-were bro
ken for rapid construction of a
shin at Philadelnhia in the
launching of the steel coll
i3r Tuckahoe. The keel of the
ship was laid just 27 days before
the hull was ready for launching,
90 per cent of the work being
completed in that time. An ad
ditional 15 days time will only be
necessary for it to take its place in
the commerce of the world,. com
plete and ready for a cargo. Such
a splendid record was made in
the construction of this sip as
to attract the attention of Presi
dent Wilson, who wrote a letter
of congratulation to the workmen
and executive staff of the ship
building company, on the extra
ordinary record made by them.
That was a splendid, thing
which General Pershing did last
week in issuing an order to all
units of the American forces in
France calling on the officers and
men to write a letter home on
Mother's Day in the following
words: "I wish every officer
and soldier in the American ex
peditionary forces would write a
litter home on Mother's Day.
This is a little thing f or each one
to do, but these letters will carry
back our courage and affection to
the patriotic women whose love
and prayers inspire us and cheer
us on to victory."
Write More Cheerful Letters.
Mothers, write more cheerful letters
to your sons in uniform! They need
messages of encouragement, not dole
ful foreboding, nor constant reminders
of the awfulness of the "great disaster
to humanity."
This is the pleading me ssage sent
out not by government officials, but
by the boys themslves boys that are
over there.
"Don't help the kaiser by hanging
weights on the spirits of your boys who
are lighting," writes Jos. Teter, of the
regiment, United States Marine
Corps, now in France.
"The boys are all ready to go
through this thing, taking things as
they come, but it is the folks back
home who seem to be quitters. All of
us are getting letters of this sort from
our mothers and I tell you it is mightfy
dishearenting. "
Take a tip from this lad's earnest
plea, mothers, don't wail!
Meat is Scarcer..
Durham Herald.
If we are to avoid another spell of
meatless days we must lop off two
pounds of meat from the weekly menu
according to the food adminstration of
the state. This estimate is based on
the most recent statement of the na
tional authorities, who point out that
our ever increasing force over seas is
demanding more meat than we have
ever before exported.
The necessities for shipments abroad
to our army and Allies are very large
and amount to 75, 000, 000 lbs of meat and
meat products of all - kinds per. week
against a prewar normal of less than
15.000.000 pounds. Even with these
large shipments the Allies have found
it necessary to reduce their consump
tion of all kinds of meats to an averge
of about 1 l-4 pounds per week per
person in order that no further draft
should be made upon shipping than is
now required for the transportation of
our soldiers.
Our consumption of meats is about
3 1-4 pounds per week per person and
if we are to make both ends balance
during the short marketing season we
must have further - economy.
More Men Wanted.
White men, physically qualified for
military service, are wanted as follows:
Twenty railroad brakeman, flagman
and conductors to report . to Camp
Meade, Admiral, Md. Twelve locomo
tive engineers and flagmen , to report
to Camp Dix. Washington, N. J. Four
veterinarians to report to Camp Lee,
Petersburg, Va. : Also . 20 colored
bricklayers to the mobilization Camp
at Fort Wayne,- Mich.; 10 carpenters
and helpers to report to the same
camp. . ,
The voluntary period to enlist will
contiue until May 20, after that no more
volunteers will be accepted, and local
boards are instructed to select men in
order of numbers from class 1. - If not
enough men can be found in class 1 local
boards will deduct registrants in classes
2D and 3K. and L.
Women Farmers Succeed.
That women make highly successful
farmers is shown by the fact that
nearly 2,000,000 of them are in charge
of farms in the country.

The North Carolina Poultry , associa
tion has gone on record as being oppos
ed to professional exhibits at the State
fair, and they have appointed a com
mittee arranging with Secretary Pogu
to put this matter across. The poultry-,
men state that there has always been
a tendency on part of the fair officials
to allow professional exhibitors to come
in and win all of the prize money, car?
rying it out of the state, and in this
way the local men have lost an incent
ive to build up prize winning exhibit
flocks of birds. '
Last State Joins.
Mississippi is the last state to join
the compulsory education procession,
announces the United States bureau of
education. The movement for compul
sory education, which women have led
during the last ten years, is now espec
ially important, according to the bu
reau. Mississippi completes the chain
of states that have passed compulsory
school attendance laws. Practically no
foreign countries are without such laws
except Turkey. Russia and Spain.)

Best Remedy for Whooping Cough.
"Last winter when my little boy had
the whooping cough I gave him Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy," writes Mrs.
J. B. Roberts, East St. Louis, 111. "It
kept his cough loose and relieved him
of those dreadful coughing spells. It
is the only cough medicine I keep in
the house because I have the most con
fidence in it." This remedy is also good
for colds and croup, adv

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man may be
all wrong for another. Every one should
adopt a diet suited to his age and occu
pation. Those who have weak stomacl s
need to be especially careful and should
eat slowly and masticate their food
thoroughly. It is also important that
they keep their bowels regular. When
they become constipated or when they
feel dull and stupid after eating, they
should take Chamerlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move, the
bowels. They are easy to take and
pleasant in effect, adv
- Asphyxiating Gas in Letters.
Germans are credited with injecting
asphyxating gasinto letters sent home
by prisoners in their prisons. -A wo
man in the Las Gascodiere was recent
ly ill for several days after opening - a
letter from a French prisoner in Ger
many. On the same day, it is said, another
woman received a letter, also contain
ing poisonous gas, from her husband,.
a. captive in Bavaria. Other cases have
been reported.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
it incurable. Catarrh is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional con
ditions and therefore requires constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medi
cine, manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is a constitutional
remedy, is taken internally and acts
thru the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
of the System. One Hundred Dollars re
ward is offered for any case that Hall's
Catarrh Medicine fails to cure. Send for
