Physicians Lack Knowledge.
By GEORGE) W. COTTIS.
We may provide all the restric
tion we wish, we may provide
hospitals and -enact laws, but we
are making bricks without straw
unless we provide for funda
mental, early diagnosis. I nm not
. afraid to say that 75 per cent of
the practicing physicians iu New
York today are unable to diag
nose Incipient tuberculosis, that
a majority of them do not cor
rectly diagnose even quite ad
vanced cases and that some do
not . make a proper diagnosis
even after death. So it will be
a step in advance If we can pro
cure expert physicians to exam
ine patients iu each county with
out expense. And- if we can
have early diagnosis by these
expert physicians, these expert
diagnosticians, tbe smaller coun
ties of the state'will be greatly
benefited, for they are sadly in
need of such assistance.

'Cascarets' Best
for Biliousness
The Millions of Cascaret Users
Nevr Know The Misery of
Headache, Coated Tongue or
Sick Stomach.
You know when you need Cas-
carets. You feel a certain dull
ness and depression perhaps the
approach of a headache You
say, 1 am billious and I must
take something tonight- but
why do you waste the day? It
is easy to keep at your best at all
times if you'll do it. The way is
to carry a box of Cascarets with
you. Take one just as soon as
you need it. Then the clouds
rise at once.
The need for Cascarets is a
natural need- Don't think that
you are drugging yourself. We
must get a laxative some way.
If we don t get it through exer
cise and through proper food, we
must get it other wise. Cascarets
are the next best way.
Ask 'our doctor about it. He
will tell you that the day of the
violent purgatives, such as calo
mel, pills, salts, castor oil and
cathartics, is past. This is the
day of the gentle in medicine,
the natural, the pleasant. Cas
carets act just as certain foods
act just a3 exercise acts on the
bowels on the liver. Get a 10
cent box and take one now.
The New Penmanship
A nation-wide reform is now in
progiees m America in the matter of
peutnanehip as taught in tbe ublic
school?. It is tne arm movement,
on writing with the swigging arm
instead of with the Augers. Tne
reform is due to a western man, Mr.
A. N. Palmer, an expert wiiting
master. Some ten years ago finger
writing of the vertical type,was all
the rage, copied in this country from
Germany. The command then was:
Tbe body straight, the paper straight,
the writing stiaight. It was found
ed on health principles. But the
result was not satisfactory, it de
veloped the slant backwards oc the
bisk hand. The next move was
called the "half slant," half way be
tween the e ticil and the old lamil
iar 38 degree Spncerian system.
But this also was linger execution.
A little over a year ago Mr. Palmer
convinced New York that to write
with the arm a swing from the
shoulder was the only proj-er way,
whicfi secures graceful curves as
well as spied in execution. The
reform spread from Greater New
York throughout tbe land, now the
vertical is nowhere to be found.
With the new you are simply taught
how to swing tbe arm and hold the
fingeis rigid. Nature will do the
rest.
Carmack's Tribute to the South,
One of the most beautiful trib
utes ever paid to the South was
the utterance of the martyred
Carmackof Tennessee while in
the Un'ted States Senate, which
is as follows:
"The South is a land that has
known sorrows; it is a land that
has broken the ashen crust and
moistened it with the tears; a
land scarred and riven by the
plowshare of war and billowed
with the graves of her dead: but
a land of legend, a land of song,
a land of hallowed and heroic
memories.
"To that and, every drop of
my blood, every fire of my being,
every pulsation of my heart is
consecrated forever.
"I wa3 bom of her womb; I
was nurtured at her breast, and
when my last hour shall come, I
pray God that I may be pillowed
upon her bosom and rocked to
sleep within her encircling
arms. ' '
Kinetic Energy.
Scientific terms have often a for
midable looli when they are really
very simple. Everybody under

when a train ia coming, because of
its energy of rao ion. This is the
exact meaning of ''kinetic". Ki.
netie mev s "moving," fro a the
Greek verb kineo, "I move."
ECZEMA CURED

To The Women of the South
What is called the ''Back Home"
movement is a campaign to induce
Southern people who have gone
West and North to return and mike
their homes in the South. The
first thing to do is to obtain their
addresses; the next, to especially in
vite them to revisit their native
country; third, to send them liter
ature of facts about the changed
and better conditions in the South
which you have mightily helped to
bring about. You are asked to help
in the movement. As to how you
may do bo, 1 suggest that you secure
a list of the persons who have gone
West and North from your commu
nity, with their present addresses,
and send to your nearest newspaper.
With the list, send a letter to the
editor etating the present advantages
of living in your community as com
pared to those of ten or fifteen years
ago. Give facts about schools and
churches; about good roads, and the
opportunities for making a living,
lie will publish the lists sent him,
and the most suitable of the letters
received. Also he will send a sum
pie "marked" copy of his paper to
the persons whose names you send,
stating wLo supplied the various
lists. The railroads, also, and the
boards of trade will send literature
and invitations to them, urging that
they ccma "I a;k hoae."
The women of the West are con
stantly aiding in plans to get more
people into th sir communities, and
heretofore the South has been
heavily drawn upon for that put
pose. You, Mothers and Daughters
of the South, most winsome and
glorious of all the Earth, can return
the tide if you but determine to do
so.
A More Beautiful Country Life
A gentleman who has traveled
over a large portion of the State re
cently fiads that along tbe improved
roads and rural free delivery routes
the people of the country are greatly
improving the appearance of their
homes by painting their nouses and
ou thou s sand by 'cultivating grass
plots and lawns and yards around
their houses, and otherwise beantify
ing them with flowers and shrub
bery. So much for good roads and
rural free delivery, bo long as peo
p!e live an insolated, shut in life, it
is natural that they should often be
careless as to the outward appear
ance of tbeir homes, but good roads
and rural free delivery bring them
closer together and work marvelous
chauges in many ways. People who
have given thought to tbe subject
are of the opinion that good roads
and rural free mail delivery can be
depended upon to check the influx
of rural population into the towns
and cities, and thus save the country
people to themselves .Exchange.
Selling Votes
The moral baseness of selling
votes at elections cannot well be ex
aggerated. Whoever cells his vote
proclaims himself to be unworthy
of citizenship, the foe of his country
and a traitor to a most sacred trust
To perpetuate our republic we must
keep the franchise free and incor
ruptible. All men who tamper with
its purity are public enemies, now
ever secret their bargain may be,
however specious their excuses and
their defense. To make a traffic in
votes, anywhere is to degrade man
hood and speedily destroy the State.
Under all disguises the venom is
deadly, swift to spread, slow to yield,
exceedingly hard to eliminate. If
there is one thing more frightful
than the sweep of the plague, it is
this secret swoop of greed upon the
soul and spirit of the voter in tbe
open poll or the Bly casting of corrupt
votes for measures and men that
may merit nobler support. When a
man shows degeneracy of principle
his acts are dangerous. He may
seem to do a high service to men
while he steals aud lies. Tbe venom
of ventality simply eats out the heart
of virtue. It is a virus that kills
the soul of honor. When this pDison
is once wiected a man s whole spirit
ual being is in peril. Ever finer
sentiment is touched with a blast
from the pit, graces fade and a slow
gaDgrene of self creeps lio riuly along
the natural course or l;ono able m
ing. So the whole body politic be
comes corrupt. And every Christian
man is called to act iu the premises
as a Christian and what he can un
der law to bring cffjnders to account
To this he is obligated in the most
solemn way. PreebyterianStandard

A PLAIN HEALTH TALK.
Dr.J.T. Battle Appeals for a J.
Habit of Cleanliness Through
Greensboro Papers- j
A plair, common sens? talk is, at
times, very necessary. I am con
vinced that the time has now ar
rived ror such and 1 would like to
impress a few pointers upon our ci'-
izens.
Human life is constantly length
ened on account of the people fol
lowing a very few hygenic laws,which
nave been demon si rated to be coc-
ducive to health. If a few more which
are as clearly proven could be putinto
practice the average life could be
lengthened about 14 vears.
One of the most menacing dan
gers which now confronts us is the
altby fly. Hatched in horse manure
it revels in its environment, yet it
delights in excursions to the nearest
kitchens and dining rooms, and
there to crawl over the c'loicest food
and wipe its manure-covered feet up
on the daintiest morsels which are
to be eaten or the milk which is to
be given to the innocent babe. The
fly is a fuzzy insect and is just suit
ed to carry numbers of germs as
well, and an its way from the stable
it often stops iu the garbage or the
6ewer, aud takes on a new supply of
decaying, putrid stuff, or possibly it
lights on ihe spitum of some con
sumptive and brings in the tubercu
lar geruii with the rest. It is not
surt rising that tne summers are so
trying upon children, when their
ttomcbs are loadel with such dead
ly germs and nasty food.
When a fly lights upon your face
or lips he will probably leave as souv
enir germs from sputum, garbage
cans and sewer, together with the
horse stable products. For any one
to have typhoid fever, he must take
into his mouth and stomach the germ
and probably with it the fecal dis
charges of a typhoid patient. Wh it
is more disgusting, nauseating or n
pulsive? And to know that it is
often brought by the pestiferous fly.
Kill him ! kill him ! or what is
easier, prevent his being hatched.
This can be done effectively by
keeping the horse stables scrupu
lously clean aad allow no filth to ac
cumulate around the premises. At
least 30 per cent, of Hies are hatch
ed in horse manure. It requires ten
days from the time the egg is laid to
the full grown fly. So clean out the
stable every day and haul off the ac
cumulated manure heap once, or bet
ter, twice a week.

Typhoid Fever Prevention.
The menace of typhoid fever in
country districts a menace arising
from polluted drinking water is
tborougnly considered in a report by
Myron L. Fuller, of the United
States Geological Survey, in which
the various sources of pollution are
indicated and suggestions are given
for means of protection.
Typhoid fever rates are unusually
greater in the country than in cities
despite the prevailing belief that
farms, isolated as they are from areas
of congested population are ideally
situated for obtaining pure and
wholesome water.
Failure to protect adequately the
wells in farming districts is given
in the survey's reports as the most
common reason for their pollution,
and ignorance of the manner in
which ground water circulates is the
cause of the faulty pretectiou.
Chemical analysis is not rated high
by Mr. Fuller as a means of detect
ing polluted water, for he asserts
that a careful common sense inspec
tion of the district is usually much
more to the point-.
Sources of pollution in the vicin
ity of a well or spring should be
noted wherever possible, and drink
irg water should not be drawn ex.
ceptataeafe distance from them.
The distance required for absolute
safety varies f reatly wiih the char
acter of the rock. For wells sunk
in sandstone, where the surface
s'ratum is composed of fine Band 200
feet should be allowed ; and where it
it is limestone or granite much
greater distances will be necessary.
Water may run polluted in limestone
for miles, so that wells in regions
where limestone makes up tbe great
er part of the surface rock should be
carefully examined afttr rain for
mud and floating uiatttr, for these
are pietty sure icdica ions of pollu
tion. For protecting wells, springs and
cisterns Mr. Fuller advocates, first
of all, a wutert'ght lining to keep
out surface water. Wells and
surings should always be covered and
protected from animals, dusc and
falling leaves. Watering troughs
should 1 1 vays be It cated a safe dis
tance away, though the custom
prevails in country districts of hav
ing well and trough side by side.
Never hesitate about giving Chamberlain's
Congo Remedy to children. It contains no
opium or other narcotics and can be given
with implicit confidence. As a quick cure
for coughs and colds to which children are
susceptible, it is unsurpassed, sola rv u
dealer.
VOTE BUYING AS A FREQUENT
EVIL.
Pre u Barrett of Farmers' Union
Scourges It Urges Union to
Action.
To the Officers and Members of the
Farmers' Union :
During the pust few months pa
pers in America have teemed with
accounts of vote-bnying aud selling
in Adams county, Ohio, l he coun
try affects to have been scandalized
as it has not been in years.
Traffic in the franchise is not pe
culiar to Adams countv, or to Ohio,
or to any other American State. At
the risk of being termed a sensation,
alist, I assert deliberately that it ia
prevalent ii a great many countiea
in the majority, perhaps all, of the
American States.
I choose this particular time for
dnwinp- the attention of the Farm
ers' Union to this evil, because it ie
an off year in politics. If 1 waited
for an election year with partisan
ship raging, I would be accused of
unduly dabbling in politics. As it
ii, that charge cannot be sustained.
The farmers Union is assumed
to be a great moral force. That is
why its members should concern
themselves with scourging bribery
from American politics.
Oar organization is also a great
educational movement. We shall
not fulfill the first qualification of
that mission until we pun-y the
ballot. As long as our men and
boys see vote-buying and selling go
ing on, all the education we preach
into one ear will go out of the other.
I make these statements regarding
barter and sale of votes with the
greatest deliberation. I know where
of I sptak. My citizenship has been
hdd, mainly, in three counties of
Georgia. In the county in which I.
was borfi, a small multitude of wnite
men were known to be willing to
dell their votes. Iu the county
where I spent fif teen years of my f
life a similar percentage of white
votes were purchasable. In the
county in which I have now resided
for about three years, in the neigh
borhood of 200 white voters are reg.
larly on the market.
Conditions are no worse in these
than in other Georgia counties.
They are no worse than in many
counties throughout the country.
Human nature does not vary with
geogaphy, nor is it alteied by parti
sanship. Around a large nu.nber of court
houses in this country you will find
one man, or two men, who know just
about how maty white voters in the
county will sell their votes.
Ycu will find also in a large num
ber of cou nties in America men yon
must "fix" before they will help you
in any election. 1 do not mean to
say that those men will brazenly
accept money for their influence.
That would be too crude. You
go to such individua s and say, for
instance : "Tom, I know you'd knock
me down if I offered to pay you for
your influence, and I know you're for
me anyway. But you've got to get
away from your business to work for
me. That means I ought to pay
you for your time, with a little more
to treat the boys," etc. Get many
politicians in a really candid
mood and they will tell you they
owe their election to th:s type of
men. They may deplore the system,
but they want office, and the most
direct way of getting it is to bow to
the od-of thinga-aa-t bey-are.
This condition cuts two ways.
It debauches tbe voter and the
electorate and it secures, frequently,
an ir different public servant.
The man indebted to such a mete.
od for his election has a contempt
for the constituents he bought, an
indifference to those who let such
things exist.
Naturally he has no incentive to
exert himself to any extent aDd the
public service is tbe sufferer.
I need not dwell on the vicious-
nesa of dealing iu votes as in mer
chandise. It pollutes popular gov
ernment at its source.
Dav b; day we get government
closer to tire people. Soon we will
elect all cfficials by popular vote
United States senators, judges, ail
of them from the highest to the
lowest.
We want to purge the electorate
in advance of that day, that we
s lull have the ablest officials, and
the cleanest, most incorruptible gov
ern met. t.
It can be done, too. Twelve men
in any community infested with
trafna in the suffrage can put a pe.
tiod to the practice, with the proper
courage and proper vigilance.
Members of the Farmers' Union
can engage in no noie patriotic or
serviceable libor. They arc false to
their obligation to the order unless
they do so in the first place. And
in the second, we cm no more eff ec--tually
apologize for the farmer who
trades his vote for money than for
the verieBt city "rereater" or "bum,"
marshaled to the polls at the com
mand of the "boss," or his hench
man. Chas. 8. Barrett.
Union City, Ga., April 25, 191U
