THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, MARCH 13, 1908, Abraham Lincoln used to say that if he wanted to know anything about a man he asked his neighbors. That is good reasoning. If you want to know anything about GOWAX'S PNEUMONIA CURE, ask your neighbor. It has been used somewhere in your neighborhood, and we are willing to stand on what YOUR neighbor says.

Jealousy is the tribute a woman pays to a man's vanity. All one has to do in order to en tertain a vain woman is to feed her taffy. It's a waste of time to tell a woman that it's a waste of time to worry. Any kind of a hat looks good on a woman if she has the right sort ot face. A woman's Idea of a good husband is one who will go shopping with his wife. A woman's curiosity is exceeded only by that of a man who says he hasn't any. It's easier for a woman to make a fool of a man than it is for her to make a man of a fool. A man fools his wife about his actions a good deal less than she fools the neighbors about them. Perhaps a widow finds it easy to get married again because she doesn't expect perfection in a man. As soon as the honeymoon is over a man discovers that his wife isn't an angel then he quits posing as a saint. A woman always wants to be a man's friend so he can do some thing for her to prove that he is glad of it. In after years a spinster may have cause to congratulate herself on the number of times she didn't get mar ried. Occasionally a woman is glad when her husband makes her cry, because she can work him for a peace offering. It may be the uncertainty of flirt ing that appeals to a girl; she is never quite sure but what she really means it. The woman who declares that sen timent is a hopeless form of insanity is either a confirmed spinster or un happily married. When you see a woman standing in front of a mirror she is either ad miring herself or planning to improve her looks. The late Senator Piatt, of Con necticut, enjoyed funny stories and could tell a good many himself, says the Boston Herald. Notwithstanding his long public life he always re membered a yarn that he carried from his school days. One year when the district schools opened in his town one of the teachers, in making a record of the ages of her pupils, as required by law, found that one little girl, who came from a family not noted for being especially bright, was unable to say. when her birthday came. So, in order to complete the records the teacher walked two miles to see the girl's mother one afternoon after school. Asked if she could re member just when h?r daughter was born, the woman thought for some little time, ad then with a sort of puzzled look, said: "Well, the gal was born in 'tater time, that's sure, but I can't 'member whether they was a plantin' on 'em or a diggin' on 'em."

"I have now been using Grape-Nuts steadily four years and having passed the exprlmental and over-enthusiastic stage, I feel sure of myself and have settled down to a solid basis of fact. This I have derived largely from that excellent little booklet, "The Road to Wellville,' which I have argely adopt ed as my faithful guide in matters per taining to eating, exercise and health in general. "On first reading the booklet I was Btruck with its plain common sense find moreover found that its was in harmony with physiology and psycho logy so far as I had learned them in my study of these subjects at college. "For at least ten years before I began to eat Grape-Nuts, I had been eccuBtomod to eating freely of fried meats, white bread, biscuits and what not, with resultant headaches, some dizziness and an appetite that was ca pricious and uncertain. All this, too, seemed to affect my brain and nervous system, for while engaged in study I found it hard to concentrate my thoughts.

From the American Review of Re views. Those who live in distant narts ot the country and have no direct means of finding out for themselves would hs astonished if thev could but know the state of mind that has now for some time prevailed in the financial district of New iork city. President Roosevelt Is one of the most whole some an dnormal personalities in pub lie life. lie is temperate and ab stenious to a marked degree. With sound physical health and a clear conscience, he never worries. He al ways sleeps well, and he faces his dav's work with a clear eve. an un exhausted fund of vitality, and a ready zest, let Wall street has per suaded itself that Mr. Roosevelt, of all men, is an inebriate, and that his messages and public utterances are inspired by alcoholic potations. Furthermore. Wall street has circu lated this story all over the country. The small fry m the financial district of New York, beins of limited men tality and easily gullible and also being emotional and mercurial nave been readily persuaded into believing that Mr. Roosevelt is a drunkard, an insane man, a victim of nervous pros tration and a malevolent demagogue. The New York mood against Roose velt is like nothing except the "Cop perhead" bitterness against .Lincoln in 1863 and 1864. There are many ex cellent men in New York business circles who would lkie to be fair, and who are much surprised to be informed that Mr. Roosevelt does not drink, is not nervous an ddoes not write his speeches and messages in a spirit of wrathful ebulition. Easy-Going Moral3 in New York So ciety. In the American Magazine, where Upton Sinclair is telling his great story ef New York Society, the follow ing passage appears: "A woman, married or unmarried, might travel with a man all over Europe, and every one might know that she did it, but it would make no difference, so long as she did not do it in America. There was one young matron whom Montague would meet, a raging beauty, who regularly got drunk at dinner parties and had to be escorted to her carriage by the butler. She moved in the most exclusive cir cles, and every one treated it as a joke. Unpleasant things like that did not hurt a person unless they got 'out' that is, unless they became a scan dal in the courts or In the newspapers. Mrs. Alden herself had a relative (whom she cordially hated) who had gotten a divorce from her husband and married her lover forthwith, and had for this been ostracized by So ciety. Once when she came to some semi-public affair fifty women had men at once and left the room! She rnight have lived with her lover, both before and after the divorce, and ev ery one might have known it, and 'no one would have cared; but the conven ances declared that she should not marry him until a year had elapsed after the divorce." Possible Rivals in the Steel Trust. The best steam and coking coals in the United States are those of the Ap palachian coal field which reaches from Pennslyvania to Alabama in a belt trending almost parallel to the Atlantic coast, and distant 150 to 350 miles from it. These Appalaehian coals are, in general, far superior to those of other portions of the United States. For most of its extent this coal field is paralleled, on its eastern or coastal side, by a series of extensive iron ore deposits. These iron ores, however, though enormous in quanti ty, are usually of relatively low grade; but they can be placed on the seaboard at very low price per unit of iron. A plant located at the coastal end of a coal-carrying railroad could therefore depend on securing a cheap supply of high-grade fuel, and a cheap supply of low-grade domestic ore. But it would also be in a position to avail itself of still cheaper supplies of high grade foreign ores, imported from Canada, the West Indies, South American and Spain. The duty on such ores is rebated in case the pro ducts made from; them are exported, but even without this provision the ores used by a seaboard plant would not cost more than Lake ores at Pitts burg. In view of these facts it is remark able that only one plant that of the Maryland Steel Co. near Baltimore is located so as to take advantage of this situation, though several east ern Pennsylvania plants depend part ly at least on foreign ores. The prin cipal points which offer the combina tion of factors necessary for the suc cess of a seaboard steel plant are Baltimore, Norfolk, Brunswick, Pensa cola and Mobile. Of these, Norfolk has such distinct advantages that it is improbable that it will long remain entirely undeveloped. Edwin C. Eck el, in the Engineering Magazine for March.

HEALTH OF RACE E LDDKE FTEB BT NATION At the last meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science a formidable movement was inaugurated to promote the national health and a committee of 100 appoint ed to direct. The president cf the committee is Proftsaor Irving Fisher, of Yale University, the secretary is Ed ward T. Devine, a prominent charity worker of New York, says William E. Curtis in the Chicago Record-Herald of a recent date. - An American Health League has been formed, of which J. Pease Norton, of New Haven, Conn., is the secretary, and all communications may be ad dressed to him. The movement has tho indorsement of President Rocsevelt, who, in a let ter to Professor Fisher, says: "Our national health is physically our great est national asset. To prevent any possible deterioration cf the American stock should be a national ambition. We cannot too strongly insist on the necessity of proper ideals for the fam ily, fcr simple living, and for those hab its and tastes which produce vigor and make men capable of strenuous service to their country. I can most cordially commend the endeavors of your committee to bring these matters prominently before tho public." At another time the president said: "I hope there will be legislation in creasing the power of the national government to deal with certain mat ters concerning the health of our peo ple everywhere. The federal authori ties, for instance, should join with the state authorities in warring against the dreadful scourge of tuberculosis." But this committee does not propose to limit itself to tuberculosis. The general purpose is to improve the breed of men and women in this country, just as we are improving the breeds of ani mals, fruits, vegetables and grains and increasing the beauty and fragrance of flowers. That the public generally is recognizing the necessity of some such movement is indicated by a letter I re received the other day from Joseph I. Granger, of Kanakee, 111., who said: "It strikes me that although large sums are expended for navy and army on grounds of protection to the na tion, and large amounts are spent at Washington and at the states' capitals for the preservation of forests, develop ment of the agricultural sciences, plants, animals, etc., there is very lit tle done to succor the needs of those interests that are most neglected. For instance, are not children more im portant than trees, farms and domestic animals? And how little is done to en lighten the public as to their rearing and training, and this especially in the small towns and the neglected districts of the large towns. We have now made considerable progress in finding out what is best in farming seeds, ferti lizers, plants, insects and bugs and in checking diseases in hogs and other do mestic animals. Why could not the forces employed in that line be switch ed to the sudy of our economic condi tions and see how much the same can be improved? Study the data that has made up our leading and most ideal cities, large and small, and see if we cannot plant that same seed and cul tivate it in the many villages and cities such as are backward and nar- HE I Accompanied by Terrible Itching A Complicated and Most Distress ing Case Well-known Remedies Failed to Cure Doctor Thought an Operation Necessary Then CUTICURA PROVED ITS WONDERFUL EFFICACY "I am now eighty years old and one morning, three years ago, I was taken with a hard pain in my right side. In two days I had an attack of piles (hemorrhoids), bleeding and protruding. The doctor gave me some medicine and an ointment for them which helped me some but I had to keep using them all the time. Then I changed to the P remedy; but if I did not use it every day, I would get worse. The doctor said the only help for me was to go to a hospital and be operated on. At this time, about a year ago, I went to using the S remedies. I tried them for four or five months but did not get much help for my piles. During this time sores would come on a fleshy part of my body. They bothered me all the time. I would get one healed and another would come. These sores changed to eczema, accompanied by a terrible itching. It seemed as if I could not keep my hands from tearing my flesh. This and the pile trouble brought on an inflamed condition. Then I got the Cuticura Remedies. I washed the affected parts with Cuticura Soap and warm water, in the morning, , at noon, and at night, then used Cuti cura Ointment on the irritated sur faces and injected a quantity of Cuti cura Ointment with a Cuticura Sup pository Syringe. I also too'k Cuti cura Resolvent Pills three times a day. It took a month of this treatment to get me in a fairly healthy state and then I treated myself once a day for three months and, after that, once or twice a week. It is fortunate that I used Cuti cura. The treatments I had tried took a Jot of money that I would have saved by using Cuticura Remedies sooner, but I am wiser now. I am supplied with a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and would not feel safe without them. J. H. Henderson, Hopkinton, St. Law rence Co., N. Y., Apr. 26, 1907."

The fat seems to drop off and leave nice, smooth firm flesh, while the health and complexion improve wonderfully. row in spirit where just a few enjoy life and the rest are unable to do so." The immediate programme of the committee of one hundred is to secure legislation authorizing the President to reorganize and consolidate the scien tific and hygienic bureau of the fed eral government. The next step will be to increase the appropriations and to enlarge the powers of such bureaus so that they can work more effectively and reach farther for the benefit of the public health. In the meantime the committee will publish a magazine and other literature for general circulation among the fathers and mothers and the homekeepers of the land. This will supply specific information that may be needed, or be useful to the pub lic. The department of agriculture spends $7,000,000 every year to im prove the plants and animals. During the last ten years it has disbursed over $46,000,000 for that purpose, but con gress has never appropriated a cent to improve the babies of the country. And, as Professor Fisher says, thousands of questions which anxious fathers and mothers ask themselves go unanswered simply because there is no office in Washington equipped for that purpose. If strawberries wilt in New Jersey, or lambs fall sick inArizona, the depart ment of agriculture gives elaborate in structions as to what shall be done, but 2,000,000 human beings die every year and a large proportion of them literal ly because they do not know how to live. Professor M. N. O'Shea, of the Uni versity of Wisconsin, insists that the work should begin in the country school houses and that it should be directed by the federal board of edu cation at Washington. "In every progressive country today the hygiene of school life seems to be regarded as of paramount importance," he says. "At the international con gress on school hygiene in London, August 5-10, 1907, there was an attend ance of at least 500 delegates repre senting the governments of the world and societies devoted to the advance ment of human welfare; and in addi tion there were 1,500 Individuals in terested in the improvement of the health of school children and all this implies. The fact was brought out at the congress that European coun tries notably Switzerland, Germany, France, England and Scotland, are do ing more than we are in the medical inspection of schools, and they are seemingly making plans for the im provement in every direction of the hygienic conditions of school life. Even in Italy the leading statesmen are ap parently convinced that the matter of chief importance at the present mo ment in their educational regime is to place the whole business upon a hy gienic basis. . . "It is the unanimous opinion ot all students of the matter that the neglect of the' hygiene of school life is, first of all, more or less disastrous to a consid erable proportion of the pupils. With us, as in most European countries, children are compelled by the state to attend school for a number of years. Manv of them suffer constantly from defective vision, hearing, respiration, nervous overstrain and other ailments, which are greatly aggravated by the confinement and stress of school life. Besides, pupils are always exposed to jFi,c. ,iimncoc where there is no regular and effective medical inspec tion of the schools, and while some children whose resistance is great are not harmed by such exposure, still oth er children are in perpetual danger, in a certain city distinguished for its healthfulness the writer has beenab f to observe one school in which continu ally during the winter months at least one-fourth of the pupils euro -1 ed are absent from causes which could easily be eliminated with competent hyemc supervision. The people of the immu nity realize the situation m a wabut they have not yet organized effective ly to conttol the matter. "Great as is the injury done to ch b dren when they are massed toRetoer in schools by the spread of eases, still, the injury resulting from imperfect seating, lifting, jent a tion and sanitation of school build ings is certainly more furious. From every part of our country, s auS from the progressive countries of MEu rope, comes an urgent appeal "oni thSse familiar with the fes improvement in the physical bases oi the educational business. "Physical conditions in s1" dren," continued Protsf hlSw5S "and the equipment of LJSg prejudicial to health and effective wore result in great economic aste.

Experiments at home and abroad have proven beyond any douot that the majority of children of this sort, when given proper medical treat ment, improve markedly in intellect and general conduct. The state at tempts to educate these children, but its efforts are in considerable part wasted. Dr. Cronin calculated that in the special city to which reference has been made there was, on account of a lack of medical supervision of educa tional work, a yearly financial loss of $1,666,666; and, of course, the loss which came from moral deviation due to defective physical functioning was of far greater importance. "The opinion is very generally ex pressed by educationalists, economists and physicians that if we could get what we now know about practical school hygiene generally recognized by school officers and teachers and re spected by them in all their activities, the schools could be made of vastly greater service to the individual and to the state than they now are. "It is a matter of simple observa tion," went on Professor O'Shea, "that the people as a whole are not sensi tive to either bad local hygienic con ditions or to the intellectual, moral and economic value of improvements in these conditions. School hygiene is not peculiar in this respect; the prin ciple applies to public health in gener al, and to such concerns as agricul ture and the like. Federal interest in agricultural development has, it will be granted, proved of tremendous benefit to all our people. It is prob able that federal regulation of the hy giene of school life would result in even greater good than has come from its service to agriculture. If federal activity could go no further than to popuiaiize what is now known in ref erence to the subject in question, and conduct experiment stations for the advancement of knowledge pertaining thereto, it could not fail to yield in even money returns immeasurably more than it would cost. But the chief gain after all would be in the devel opment of a decidedly more vigorous and happy race. We in this country should profit by the experience of old er countries in respect to school hy giene. Switzerland has led the na tions in its concern for the physical welfare of its children. In that coun try, particularly in Zurich, there is a fully organized system of medical in spection, instituted by the cabinet and administered by competent physicians when they enter school, and at regular intervals in their progress through the schools; and this examination covers everything that can affect the health and theMvork of children in school, even their mental condition to deter mine whether they should be placed in special classes. A number of European countries are beginning to imitate Switzerland in attaching supreme im portance to health and hygiene in ed ucational work. There is now before the English parliament a bill, the pur pose of which is to establish a nation al system of medical inspection of schools, and it is entirely probable that .this measure will- be enacted-ihto a law. "The principle of central regulation of school hygiene is recognized in some legislation enacted at , the last session of the legislature of Wisconsin. A bill was passed authorizing the state su perintendent of public instruction to offer inducements to rural school au thorities to improve the heating, ventil- lating and sanitary conditions cf rural school buildings. Already a large pro portion of the rural schools cf the state have been benefited by this measure, and without doubt practically all the schools will in a very short time be put in a much better hygienic condi tion because of this central regulation. In Wisconsin now a rural school house cannot be built unless the plans there for have been approved by the county Women as Weil as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, discourages and lessens ambition ; beauty, vigor and cheenul ness soon disappear when the kidneys are out of order or dis eased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncom mon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidnevs. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi culty is kidney trouble, and the first step' should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as iiiost people suppose. Women as well as men are made miser able with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great reined'. The mild and the immediate effect of SwampRoot is soon realized.

The state superin tendent of North Carolina has similar control over the building of school houses in that state. "But," the professor continued, "we need in every state at once legislation similar in effect to that enacted in Massachusetts in 1S05, providing for the appointment of school physicians, who shall examine and diagnose every child in school, every teacher and jani tor and report on those who are suffer ing from any disease. This report shall be sent to the parents or guar dian of the child, and if the child z,.:tv2 " :v "tcms cf an infectious or contagious disease the board of health must be promptly notified.
