Tribune Bureau. Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, July 27. —The medical profession, which has away ot dis missing statements regarding health measures made by laymen with a curl of the iip or a flight elevation of the caducean eyebrows, oceasion a.ly pauses to endorse the comments or opinion of a mere man on matter*, of physical fitness and the like. Dr. Charles Laughinghouse ov be halt of the North Carolina State Board of Health heartily some recent utterances of Gen Frank, president of the University of Wisconsin, with reiereuee to now a young man should give heed to his health, Dr. Frank is quoted as say ing: “If I were twenty one and knew all that I know at thirty seven, I should give systematic and sustained attention first to my health. “I should begin at twenty-one to forestall that physical slowing down that comes to the careless man in his ate thirties or early forties. I should avoid becoming self-conscious about my health.-I should rather be a dyspeptic than a nourasthanie but I would begin at twenty-one when all my bodily processes were functioning flawlessly, paying sys tematic attention to keeping myself fit “l should avoid health fad*. I should take all my advice from a reputable physician. I should have a thorough physical examination at ’east twice a year. In the line of these semi-annual examinations, I should not economize on doctor’s bills. At the first hint of illness or irregularity I should go to my physi cian on the theory that I should rather have him keep me well than cure 'me after I fell sick. “Some geniuses have done mag nificent work with frail and diseased bodies but for most of us success and happiness will depend in no ■small measure upon, the physical energy we can put as a driving force behind our abi’ities and even the geniuses would do better work with better bodies.” Dr. Lauehipghouse adds, however, the following words to his endorse ment : “Dr. Frank has given advice here that every person in North Carolina should immediately proceed to take. Dr. Frank might have added That if one has not begun to conserve health at twenty-one they should begin at thirty- seven and if not at thirty seven, sixty seven; Again he might have added that the physical examination of children semi-annual ly is of tremendous importance to the safety and physical well-being of the family.” SOUTH UNMOVED BY REED’S VISIT Democrats Seem Indifferent to the 1928 Campaign. Atlanta, July 25. —Recent visits by Senator James A. Reed and Wil liam G. McAdoo have failed to arouse the Democratic South to any display of concern over the 1928 Presidential campaign. Political leaders were agreed to day, after Senator Reed’s speech be fore the Georgia State f Legislature, that the Dixie voter "Doesn’t much care right now about po’.itics.” Senator Reed was brought here by United States Senator Hariwick of Georgia for the admitted purpose of “feeling out’’ the South’s atti tude toward Reed as a Presidential possibility.” “Reed’s friends in Georgia intend to plaee his name on the ballot for the Presidential nomination,” Hard wick said. The Missouri Senator’s speech was a discreet condemnation of the Re publican administration with tnention of the prohibition issue. He conferred while here with several Democratic eladers- Daniels Sees Dry Trend, i Like the visit of McAdoo previous ly, however. Reed’s presence made no perceptible stir. Newspaper have commented only perfunctori’v in ‘heir editorial columus on Reed’s speech. Josephus Daniels, a member of President Wi’son’s Cabinet aqd a political power in the South, analy zed the situation in an interview with the United Press. He said: “So far as I am advised, the Democrats of the South and West — I mean a large majority—are not in favor of nominating a wet advocate for President. The South just now is pursuing a ‘watchful-waiting’ policy. It would be a mistake, how ever. to suppose this waiting policy is prompted by indifference to the nominee or to hopelessness. It is rather prompted by a feeling that before the convention the way may open more clearly for a winning can didate. who will not jeopardize the eighteenth > mendment. Many Instructed. “There will probably be more un instructed de’egatcs in the national convention next year than in any recent body. “The monumenta 1 service rendered to the cause of common honesty bf Senator Reed in uncovering the cor ruption of the ballot has won for him the approval of every man and woman in America. “A* .o what effect the leadership for elean politics will have on Sena tor Reed's candidacy, I am not pre pared to state.” Mangnm-Webb Bout.

C., July 27. —Sever- al tips an travel for American Legion naires going to the convention to be held in Paris September 19 to 23, were given today by Howard P. Sav age, National Commander, in a com munication received by James Leon- % ard. of Lexington, Department Franco Convention Officer of this state. Strictness of the French govern ment in enforcing taxes on cigarettes, matches, soaps and certain other, arti cles makes a heavy fine liable upon attempts to smuggle such articles in to the country without paying tax. Passengers may bring in c : garetteo, cigars, smoking tobacco, and chewing tobacco not to exceed one kilo, about 500 cigars, for their personal use by paying a tax ranging from 150 to 320 francs. Passengers who come in : to France by sea and rail who con tinue immediately the : .r trip may, with special courtesy, bring in without paying, providing they have previous ly declared same, the minimum amount necessary to smoke en route. This exemption is limited to ten cig ars, 20 cigarettes, or 40 grammes of smoking robacoo. Ladies are author ized to Dring in tobacco under the same conditions except the quantity -is reduced to twenty cigarettes. The following items are forb : dden: leaf tobacco, matches, playing cards, forg ed books, saccharine, powder and am munition. There are many classes of employes, such as waiters and hotel attendants, who live almost entirely from their tips. To get good service it is abso lutely necessary Jo tip. A tip of-ten per cent, of the bill is considered ade quate unless the bill is very large when a correspondingly larger tip is expected. To tip more than that on ly spoils it for the next American that comes along. ) Although the big department * stores and businesses of the French cap’tal have plainly marked prices and strict ly adhere to them much of the little business is done by dickering. The French respect a foreigner who is not too quick to accept that which is offer-, ed at what seems an exorbitant pr : ce. Legionnaires wishing their mail to return quickly should ascertain the sailing of the next express boat and mark their mail on the envelope es pecially for that ship. Otherwise the letter may be held for a slower boat of the country in w’hich it is mailed. The steamship sailings are carried in full by all the English speaking new*" papers easily obtainable in Paris. TWO HURT.
