She inod beside the dying Christ when boastful Peter and the other disciples had forsaken their Iord. She was the to to leave his sepulchre and the first todiscover that he had burst the bars of the tomb, risen from the cleft rock. an(j triumphed over death and the grave. Mn jr.o women should not be Judg ed by the same rules. There are many radial differences in their natures. Man is a creature of interest and am bition. His nature leads h m forth in to the struggle and the bustle of the world. Love is the embellishment of hi? early life or a song piped in the intervals of the acts. He seeks for 'ame for fortune, for space in the world's thoughts and dominion over his fellowmen. But a woman's whole life is a history of the affections; the heart is her world; it is there her am bition strives for empire. It is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. Woman's love is stronger than death. It rises superior to adversity, and towers in sublime beauty above the niggardly selfishness of the world. Misfortune cannot suppress it; cir cumstances cannot modify it; enmity ,-anno't alienite it; temptation cannot enslave it; it is the guardian angel of the nursery and the sick bed. It 'is the ministering spirit of home, hover ing in soothing caresses over the cra die and the death bed of the house hold and filling up the urn of all its sacred memories. Gold is power it can sweep down forests and build up cities. It can collect troops of flatter ers and Inspire awe and fear. But wealth can never purchase love. Bo naparte essayed the subjugation of Europe. On many a bloody field his banner floated triumphantly, but his greatest conquest was the unbought heart of Josephine, his sweetest and most priceless treasure, her outraged but unchanged love. The glory of womanhood is moth erhood. Xature has set the mother upon such a pinnacle that our infant eyes and arms are first uplifted to it she has been called the "divinity of infancy." who can picture mother love The love of a mother is to be neither chilled by selfishness nor daunted by danger, nor weakened by worthlessness. nor stifled by ingrati tude -if all the world casts us off she will be all the world to us. -The most iilusrious statesmen the most dis : nguished warriors, the most eloquent ministers, the greatest benefactors owo their greatness to the influence of 'Mother. " Napoleon knew and felt this when he said. "What France wants is good mothers and you may hp sure that France will have good pons'' Did not the Spartan mother ?ive character to the "Spartan nation ? Her lessons to her child infused the iron nrve into the heart of that na tion and caused her sons in the wild umult of battle "to live behind their shields nr die upon them!"' Her In fluence fired them with a patriotism whfoh was stronger than death. A mother w ields a power more decisive far. than syllogisms in argument, or courts of last appeal. At the present day more than ever before. ;t has become a matter, of ne cessity that the activities of the fac ulties, th Influence, the powers of woman should be brought to bear up n thp proper adjustment of the so cal eQuilibrium. Woman nowadays is 3 force, and as a force must find her suitable employ. Wonfan's fundamental part in gov ernment is to do efficiently what her Position requires of her as individual memhpr of society; mother, sister, wage-earner, wage-payer, purchaser. o woman has th right to be a prob lem or problem creator, no matter hew usefully accupied with other peo ple s affajrs. The young woman of today feels that education and the grasping of opportunities are duties. But the puz z'eis. what is duty? It may be to be nat the creator primarily created ornan for a helpmeet. But young 'omen who feel this to be your call ing, be sure that you are truly a heip meet and not merely a "help-eat." Be a nome-maker and not a home-break-er and thus fulfill the glory of true Womanhood; It may be to 50 into the world to seek vocation, to live one's own life, to exploit one's own soul, but be sure that this is done for love, not of self, but of humanity. If women now sit on thrones, if the most beautiful paintings in the world is of -a mother and a child, If the im age of a woman crowns -the dome of the American capitol; if, in allegory and metaphor, and painting, and Eculpture, the highest ideals are wo men, it is because they have a right there. By all their drudgery, and pa tience and suffering they have earned this right. What is womanhood? Is there any more important question for young women to consider than' this? It should be the highest ambition of ev ery young woman to possess a true womanhood. Earth presents no high er object of attainment. To be a wo man in the truest and highest sense of the word is to be the best thing beneath the skies. To be a woman is something more than to grow to the physical stature of woman, something more than to wear a hobble exhibit dry goods, sport jewelry, catch the gaze of men; something more than to be a belle, a wife or a mother. Put all these qualifications together and they do but little toward making a true woman. Happy is that maiden who seeks to live this true life! As time passes on, her own character will be elevated and purified. Gradually will she r3turn toward that order of her being which was lost in the declen sion of mankind from that original state of excellence in which they were created. She will become more and more a true woman; will grow wiser and better and happier. Her path through the world will be as a shin ing light, and all who know her will call her blessed.

If you are thin, your health is not what it should be. If you are losing weight steadily there if? something wrong "that should be attended o at once. You cannot be healthy and strong if you are thin. Perfect health and good, solid beau tiful flesh can only come through the use of Samose, the remarkable flesh-forming food. This makes the thin and s;rawny, plump and Vobust; it nixes with the food so that all of the elements tviat make solid bone, firm muscle and good flesh are thoroughly assimilated and retained in the system. Samns is not a drug or a stimu lant; it is a scientific flesh-forming food that restores thin people to a normal condition of good healthy flesh. These statements are confirmed by Jno. S. Blake Drug Co.'s offer to re fund the money to anyone buying and using Samose who does not gain in weight as promised. The risk is all theirs. The thin and scrawny can buy Samose at Druggists Jno. S. Blake Drug Co.'s store, with the knowledge that if it is not successful it will cost absolutely nothing.

The won derful story of how the Danes, upon land but poorly suited to grazing and in the face of repeated reverses, have brought their country to a state of agriou'ltural prosperity second . only to England among the Old World coun? tries is told by Dr. Maurice Francis i Egan, American minister to Denmark, who is now in -this city on ieave,. hav ing recently completed, on behalf of the State Department, a lecture tour through the farming districts of - the South. Dr.. Egan, together with several o'.h er of the American diplomatic offi cers in Europe, has, under. instructions from the State Dejartment, made a thorough study . of the "farmer's wel fare" problem in the European coun tries, of the part plyed by the govern ments in advancing the material pros perity of the farmers, of the success of the farmers themselves in forming co-operative societies or mutual 1 as sistance, and of the advantages secur ed to the whole people of those coun tries from the promotion of their ag ricultural resources. He is engaged now in preparing a report upon the methodsr of the Danish government in supplying cheaper money for their farmers, which idea President Taft hopes to introduce imo the United States for the benefit of the American farmer. Speaking of his recent lecture tour through the South, Dr. Eagan said: "I was sent by the Department of S'.ate to expose to dairymen and farm ers especialry interested in dairying, the methods by which the Danes have become the most prosperous people agriculturally in Europe. When I say most prosperous, I mean by compari son, and taking into consideration the Obstacles they have had co meet and overcome. The weal h per capita of! Denmark is comparatively next to that of England. This wealth, how-1 ever, is equalized. There are no very) rich people there. Every man is fair- j ly well off, but the poorer he is the! more carefully doe he conserve his I resources. Material well being is as j common in Denmark as tducation. "There is no illiteracy in the j country. Every man, woman and I child over seven years, unless he be an idiot, can read and write. The mechods by which they have achiev ed their present prosperity are three: Education practical education a perfect system of co-operation, and the intelligent assistance of govern ment. "'For instance, the only means of living which the Danes have is agri culture. Denmark, like Julius Caesar's Gaul of ancient days, is di vided into three parts butter, bacon and eggs. Now, the government, be ing dependent upon the farms, does everything in its power to increase the number of mall farmers, and this it has done by making money as cheap a possible - for the farmers. It con trols a great series of banks, managed somewhat after the manner of the Credit Foncier. ' An agricultural laborer in Den mark who has worked on a farm for five years, who Is poor, and who has a character so good that two reputable memDPrs or nn oommi-ino Ti-ili ray. i tify to it. may obtain from one ofl LheSe banks a loan of about $1,582 in I our money. He obtains this solely on i his character and ability and-not byj any material security he can offer, i "With this money he may purchase a ; form of from three and one-half to 12 acres. This farm means live and dead stock on the land and the nec essary implements for the working of it. The amoun. loaned b tl bank covert-' probably nine-tenth.? of the val ue of the farm not of the land, be cause land in Denmark is never sold merely as land. Thefarm is judg ed by the value of Its TJroductU n for, let us fay, at least seven years in hard corn, which represents its ability to sustain dairy ca-.tle and h..s. Th- - is an example of the way :n whi:h the Danish government encourages the multiplication of small farm'. "Now, r-s to the question of edu cation. It is compulsory. It has been compulsory' for man., year and the awakening of Denmark i.o the careful use of its natural resources is due to two things tr.e Danish sem-3 of the practical value practical education and a series of disasters. "The first disaster occurred in the late 40's. when the discovery wa.-i made that the Danes had so im poverished their soil by the continu ous growing of grain that bankruptcy threatened, even the great land-owners being in danger. Then came the closing of British ports to Danish grain and the growth of American competition, which killed off whatever prospects of profit 'the Danes might have mrde from their Impoverished land. "A very admirable Lutheran bishop, Grundtwig, saw that the Danes must be kept at home, bu- that they must be so educated as to make thir coun try fit for them to live in. He saw that patriotism on an empty stomach would not work, and he began to form the high schools, of which there are some 1,200 in Denmark today, which fostered and made possible the idea of co-operation. "From 1848, the year in which, un der the constitution, it was possible for the poor Dane to own land in fee simple the constitution meaning the breaking up of the feudal system of land tenures until 1863, when Den mark lost Schleswig-Holstein to Prus sia, the Danes struggled against ter ribly adverse circumstances, and then, under the impetus which the high schools had given them, they began to co-operate. In the high schools, which are open only to men over the age of 20 yeara, the Danish farmer learned to trust one another; they also learned that with impoverished land and no capital they could not compete with the great landowners who were beginning to sell great quantities of butter and hogs to Eng land and Germany. "The tendency in Denmark was and is to the constant increase of the small farmers, but the small farmer was practically nothing as an individual. To control the British market for fresh butter and the colonial market for canned butter it was necessary that their prodaict .be the same in quantity all the: year and always the same in quality. To standardize any product one must have an enormous quantity of that product and the pow er of controlling its quality. The Dan ish farmers, in order to do this, be gan from co-operative societies. "This movement, fostered, as I said, by Bishop Grundtwig's high schools, began by the organization of small so cieties of farmers of various districts. In these each1 man was allowed one vote, but he guaranteed that he would supply the- co-operative creamery just so many pounds of butter fat but ter fat being the commodity in which he dealt and make htmeelf liable independently, plus the unlimited lia bility of ttte co-operative aocietyj to the governmen't bank for th amount of 'the capital borrowed, hTe province of the bank in this transac tion is not the mam thia to he con sidered. The bank must make a fair profit, but the bank really exisus for the benefit of the farmers through the co-operative societies, which they themselves formed and which they themselves govern. "Today-the Danish farmer buys nothing individually. He uses no seeds' till they have been tested by the experts .furnished ,by the co-operative society." He trays his fertil izers, soya beans" from- Manchuria, cotton and meal from the United States, through the co-operative soci ety. He never kills his own hogs, ihough there are 5 aff hogs to every 1,000 persons in Denmark, but-sends them to the co-operative bacon fac- tories, which Were founded some time in the 80's when Germany refus ed the Danish hog because of an out break of swine fev-er. The Danes in stantly founded, with the assistance of the government, large co-operative bacon factories. In order to make dairying possible the Danes had to regenerate the land exhausted by the lack of scientific treatment. "Denmark is not a good grazing j country. The climate for grazing pur poses is probably the worst in,, the world. There are only 14 wee&i?ini the year when cattle can graze in the j open. In the 60's and 70's the ! Dane lately in possession of his land found that he must root or I die, or become an exile, as the Irish j were, for' the lack of assistance from j an intelligent government. He root- ed. That' is, he saw the roots the j turnip, the carrot, and, above all, the great sugar-beet root could be used I not alone for feeding his dairy cattle, j but could be made useful in restoring his exhausted soil; but he did nothing at haphazard. ' Being an educated man, he was an ! open-minded man and he induced his government to furnish scientific ex- I perts who could finally answer any question he might ask. As an ex ample, let us take the small farmer with three cows, three hogs, four hedu of small cattle, and & horse or two. He farms perhaps 12 acres. Now, it is j a question with him as to the rota tion of his crops; it is a question as to the amount of buater fat that a cow should produce. He has, through the co-operative society, the use of sci- i entiflc expert, who visits his farm ev ery 18 day-j and answers all these ' questions after consultation with him. Furthermore, he keeps a duplicate j set of books for the farmer, so that i the farmer knows exactly the amount of butter fat each cow yields every j week, when the cows are expected to calve, the value of the service of every j bull in use, and the exact position ofl the farmer economically and agricul- j turally. For this service the farmer pays the expert 30 cents yearly peri cow, the government paying the re-'t of the expert's salary the expert be ing at. ached to the Royal Danish Co operative Society. "Denmark is a country which com prises 15.000 square miles, which is, T suppose, about four times the size of, Delaware. It support" at'leart 2,500,- 000 persons in very good condition, j and sends out of the country each year, at. a conservative estimate, $150,- ' 000,000 worth of butter, bacon and! eggs. A least $90,000 000 worth of this expore goes to England j but the Briti-h market is retained riot ! alone by the invariable quantity sent out, summer and winter, but by the invariable quality, Danish but er being the highest-priced butter in the Brit ish market." KITCB1N CLDB ORGANIZED FOR MECKLENBURG WITH A TOTAL OF 1,400 MEMBERS ' a A Kitchin club was organized here Saturday night with an enrollment of 1,400 members. The meeting was call ed at 8 o'clock, and was presided over by Mr. J. L. Scales, as chairman, Mr. Frank R. McNinch and Mr. J. D. Mc Call, State manager and county man ager respectively, being present and both making enthusiastic speeches. Capt. J. lih Renfrow was the unani mous choice of the gathering as presi dent of the Kitchin forces in Meck lenburg, and Mr. J L.. Scales was named secretary. The first speaker was Mr. W. M. Tye. He was for Kitchin from start to finish, and in closing he paid his respects to Mr. Cameron Morrisjjn, whose oratory he likened to Niagara, "with about tjre same effect on the Mecklenburg vote." Mr. J. D. McCall was the second speaker of the evening, and devoted much of his time to a discussion of the Simmons manager ?n Mecklen burg. He declared that he was not a sleight-of-hand performer, and even if he were, he wouldn't try it among his friends. He declared that not Mr. Morrison's character but his political methods were being attacked by the Kitchin men. He declared that the 82 delegates named by the Mecklen burg convention contained 72 Sim mons men and only six for Kitchin, and four for Clark. This Mr. McCall made the object of his satire, which he poured out with great ardour. Mr. F. R. McNinch concluded with an optimistic speech declaring, that Governor Kitchin would certainly be named by. the primaries, and that to day all over the State the people were backing him up. He said that the Re ublicans wanted to see Simmons nom inated, presumably because they want to see the party compromised. A Permanent Cure for Chronic Constipation Although those nay dispute it who have not tried it, yet thousands of others, who speak from personal ex perience, assert, that there is a perma nent cure for chronic constipation. Some testify they were cured for as little as fifty cents, years ago, and that the trouble never came back on them, while others admit they took several bottles before a steady cure was brought about. .The remedy referred to Is Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. It has been on the market for over a quarter of a century and has been popularized on its merits, by one person telling another. The fact that its strongest supporters are women and elderly people the ones most per sistently .constipated makes it certain that the claims regarding it as a per manent cure for constipation have not been exaggerated. It Is not violent like cathartic pills, salts or waters, but operates gently, without griping and without shock to the system. It contains tonic properties that strengthen the . stomach and bowel muscles so that .in time medicinea of all kinds -can. be . dispensed with and nature s again solely relied on. Among the legions who testify to these facts are Mr. E. Garraux, 337 Ga. Ave., Atlanta. Ga'., and Mrs. r,ula Osborne, Seneca, 9. C, and they always have a bottle of it in the . bouse, . for. it is a reliable laxa tive for all the family from, infancy to old age Anyone wishing to make a trial of this remedy before buying it in the regular way of a druggist at fifty cents or one dollar a large bottle (family size) can have a sample bottle sent to ' the home free of charge by . simply addressing Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 405 Washington St., Monticello, III. Your name and address on a postal card will do. DAVIDSON ECHOES. SPICES ARE ESSENTTALi ELEMENTS IN THE DIET Lancet. The spices are a very interesting grbup of substances: they are the foundation of a considerab'e industry, they have their medical uaes and fin ally are of special importance in di etetics. Their value resides in their richness in aromatic substances and essential oils; strictly speaking, they are not foods, but often enough they are es sent'a1 elements in the diet. Spices have been the subject of classic re search, as, for example, In the clever and important Investigation which Pa'ow undertook as to the psychic influences of food and as to the value of zest in nutrition. Spices were fhown to arouse appe tite and to promote the secretion of the gastrin iuice, and the role they pay therefore in dietetics in a very important one. The medicinal action of some of them is further of value. AU-spice, for example, is used a-? an aromatic and has been successful ad ministered for flatulency or for over coming griping due to purgatives, and occasionallv it i? reported that the oil gives reMef in rheumatism and neu raia. The medical uses of cinnamon are well, known. Cardamons are used in the form of a tincture as aromatic and stoma.hic and they are also em ployed as a flavoring agent in curry powder, cakes and liquors The ap plications of capsicum and the pepers generally are well known. Cloves are aromatic, carminative and .stimu'ant and have been used in dyspepsia, gastric irritation and in cases of vom iting in pregnancy. Oil of cloves If also a popular rem edy for toothache. It has also its uses in microscopy as a preservative and for clearing sectins. The uses of nutmeg are wide, vanil'a has an enormous application as a flavoring agent, while turmeric enjoys a similar patronage on account Of its 1 bright ye'low co'or and pleasant musky flavor.

Football Tinkered Again. Cleveland Plain Dealer. A commission representing the col leges and universities of all sections of the United States has completed the work of inventing a brand new game of football to be played next fall. Since "1905, when Theodore Roosevelt and some others came to the . conclusion that the good old game of football needed to be dena tured and mollycoddilized, there has been a series of efforts to provide some kind of satisfactory substitute. The tinkering, finally reached the stage of utterly spoiling the game and making the outcome of the contests largely a matter of luck. The effect of the newest football doctors is to restore to the game some of its ancient excellence, to make it really -a contest of the brains and brawn of 11 young men against the brains and brawn of 11 other young men, a congest' In. which the better team win Jna AH - likelihood prova the winner. - A. return to the rules that prevaild'fa decade ago was not deem ed advttttthle' re&xd so - new rulea have oeerf'-dSVlsed&i Wder to attain much the' stfrnS''ettaV; Football- expert throughout the eoun.tr are practical ly unanimous In agreeing that the game will be materially betteead by the izmovatlona e 191.

Davidson, June 2 Special. Presi dent Alderman of the University of Virginia, after being fed more or less constantly all day on a glorification of Davidson and a recount of what the college has accomplished for the good ot humanity, when asked if he was "full" of the subject, replied "full," and it is hard to believe in view of the recital that any other in stitution in the country hae had any share in this field of accomplishment. Every year more or less, he continu ed, I hear elsewhere in eight or ten celebrations a like story, but it is all true here and among the other col leges also. The record of each is a thing of which each should be proud and there is much in which to glory. Dr. Poteat, in his able address, implied that the Presbyterians had left nothing unclaimed and that he could not imagine on such a showing where the Baptists were to come in. As giving edge, however, to his re mark he said that he was reminded of this story. "Two boys were boast ing of the record made by their re spective cows. The first said that his cow gave four gallons of milk a day, the other replied ,that his gave four gallons at a milking. Whereupon the first rejoined: Tes, but I wasn't tell ing no lie." With this Dr. Poteat rushed into the discussion of his theme, only after a quarter of an hour to become unduly impressed again with the largeness of the claims put forth for Davidson during the day. Recurring to the subject and realizing that counter claims for the Baptists would be idle under the conditions he said that he wag reminded of the "two darkies working, one by the Job, the other by the hour. The first let his strokes with the mattock come with won derful rapidity, the second was letting them fall with a remarkable delibe rateness. When chided by an on looker, that the job-worker was get ting ahead, the leisurely incMned time ki'ler replied: I ain't racin' wid lm " Dr. Poteat added he was not racin; with the Presbyterians just now. One of the neat mementos of com mencement presented to students and guests and 'indeed every one taking part directly and indirectly in the celebration was a button bearing the college seal and ornamented with short ribbon streamers, red and black, the college colors. The anniversary number of the co" lege magazine, published in hand some form was on sale during the commencement. There were specially contributed articles, reminiscent and historical in character by J. B. Shearer, J. J. Stringfellow, G. W. F. Harper. P. P. Winn, J. B. McDowell, C. R. Harding and A. A. McGeachy.

Mr. Forester of the synod of Ala bama has been compelled by some throat trouble to give up his active work in the ministry for the time being. Of Human Interest. Charlie (C. D.) Maigatter says he and Charley Mc&waln of Spartanburg, S. C, were among the first employes of the old Valley mill, in Denver. Col. C. D. said he wanted to send to his sister in San Frncisco a copy of The Mill News with the picture of his mill (the Mecklenburg). That is why I happened to sSsJc him" some questions. He said, "No, I'm not from Califor nia. My sister lives there. She mar ried and went West and I came Ems:." He said he started in the card room and later learned weaving in-Denver. When he came here he . intended to go on up into New England, but mar ried in Charlotte and stuck. His fa ther was from Germany, his mother from Australia and C. D. himself be gan life in Wisconsin. However, he would rather live in Charlotte than anywhere else in the world. Funny, isn't it. though not surprising. "Yes," he says, "it is a live town, and tho mills are run right up to the minute. That's the way I like to work." Ha has charge of weaving. His own ge niality may account for his happy view of life and work. His personality appealed to me also in this remark, "Bob Tate is all right. There isn't a better man in town." "Bob" is his employer, and I like to hear a man epeak highly of hie boss. BEAR CUBS PAY FOR TCraON OF TWO BOYS ASHFORD, Wash.. June 1. Two brothers living on a ranch near here, named Oscar and Burr Heyburn, will enter the State University next fall and will maintain themselves on money they have earned the last five years selling bear. cubs. The Hey burn boys live a mile from the Mount Rainer Forest reserve, where shooting is prohibited and where bears multi ply so fast as to be a menace to farm ing and ranching operations in the adjacent regions. , The boys contrived a trap, which when baited with fresh salmon caught in nets back of the Heyburn barn, served to tempt recently weaned cubs. The traps, while simple, were very effective and each summer season the boys have been able to capture from thirty to forty cubs. The district worked measured ten miles by eleven. They found a- ready market for the bears fn City- Park Commissioners, summer resorts, as pets for sports mans, children and for circuses.
