LEDGER WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22niT. im? THE CONVENTION OF I -, - ..- , ,,-;, . 1 , . .T ADULT BIBLE CLASSES t L ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' - 1 , - - - - -S ARMY BILL IS SIGNED PRESIDENT WILSON HASTENS DEFENSE ACTS President Wilson Friday Signed the Joint Congressional Resolution Au thorizing the Increase of the Stand ing Army to its Full Strength of Approximately 120,000 .Men. Sweeping aside intervening issues Ccmerress took prompt action on the national defense measures urgently pressed by President Wilson since the sesion . began. Indications are that the joint con ference committee which will adjust the two army bills and frame the n nal measure, will be at work withim three weeks. The bill may be ready for the president's signature within another month. While the naval program has ap neared to progress more slowly, pos ' sibly it will be completed sooner than the army projects. The navy bill hearings before the house committee will end about .April 1. and the com pletion of the measure is expected to take but a short time by the com mittee. The senate naval committee will not hold hearings on the appropria tion bill. It has before it now the personnel reorganization measure carrying out Secretary Daniel's plan for selective promotion. The senate bill as it was reported includes a provision designating post masters all over the country as re cruiting agents. The scheme, sug gested by army officers, contemplates paying a fee to postmasters for every recruit enrolled. A fee for prelim inary physical: examination by civil ian doctors also will be provided. The essential difference between the house and senate bills lies in the provisions as to the regular army. The house measure proposes to add new organizations to the existing es tablishment to give it a total peace strength of 150,000 fighting troops. The senatet bill provides for a sweeping reorganization of the regu lar army in all departments, as urged by the war college in the plan of 1912. It provides a peace strength of 178,000.

Dr. Chapman will be Principal Speak er at Baraca-Philathea Gather ing in Goldsboro April 27 The North. Carolina Barca Associa tion atad State Philathca union will held their sixth annual convention in Goldsboro, April 27-30. The two or ganizations have had a wonderful growth in the state and there are at present a few more than 2000 classes, representing from 60,000 to 75,000 members. So rapid has been the growth and so broad the scope of their activities that they are now considered a very prominent part of the Sunday school strength of the State. No plan of class organization has ever been so successful in reach ing young men and young women for the Sunday school and church as the Baraca plan, originated about 25 years ago by Marshal S. Hudson, a business man of Syracuse, N. Y. To day there are nearly 2,000,000 young men and women enrolled in Sunday school classes of these names and a large per cent of them very probably never would have bonne an active re lation, and many of them no relation at all, to the Sunday school and church had it not been for this move ment. The platform under which the classes operate is: "Young men at work for young men; young women at work for young women, all stand ing by the Bible, the Bible school and the church." And the fact that the members generally live up to the plat form and practice their motto, - "we do things," is responsible largely for the wonderful success of the move ment in reaching young men and wo men. A special committee is appoint ed in every class, whose business it is to look after sick and needy. And the activities of this committee are not confined to the members of the class but other people in the com munity who have been sore beset by misfortune have found themselves the happy objects of substantial help from a Baraca or Philathea class, sitating expenses which the old man man, a shoe mender, became afflicted and his physician found it necessary to amputate one of his limbs, neces sitating an expense which the bid could hardly hope to meet. A Baraca class im the town, with which the old man was not connected, took up the matter, sent the man to a hospital, paid all of his expenses and purchas ed a wooden leg for him. Another direction in which the class activities are manifested is one which has to do with the social wel fare of the members of the class, with special consideration for the visitors aaid strangers. The coming convention promises to be one of the best ever held by the Baracas and Philatheas in North Car olina. From 1,000 to 1,500 delegates are expected to attend and some of the foremost speakers and workers in the entire country have been se cured. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, otne of the greatest preachers of the age, will be one of the speakers, and oth er workers and speakers of nation wide reputation will be on hand.

HENDERSON, N. C. Lime-Loss in Tuberculosis In the Journal of the American , Medical Association (January 17, ' 1914) was the following: "It has been many times stated that in tuberculosis or in the pre tuberculosis stage an increased amount of calcium (lime) is lost both in the urine and feces. In fact, a demineralization has been thought to be a forerunner of the develop ment of tuberculosis " "Forced feeding of tuberculosis patients and the enormous amount of eggs and milk, once given such pa tients are not now considered advis able by a large number of physicians who are specializing in the treat ment of pulmonary tuberculosis." If tuberculosis is due to a loss of lime from the system, the success of Eckman's Alterative in the treat ment of this disease may be due, in part, to the fact that it contains a lime salt so combined with other valuable ingredients as to be easily similated. Always we have urged users of Eckman's Alterative to attend strict ly to matters of food. In addition to rest and proper diet, some effective remedial agent seems to be needed, and in numerous cases of apparent recovery from tubercu losis and kindred throat and bron chial affections Eckman's Alterative has supplied this need. .

Many of them never ex pect to save even what hair is left. This is iaideed a pity, says a spec ialist because baldness usually comes from carelessness and anyone who gives the scalp a little attention should always have an abundance of good healthy hair. Dust and dirt help to . cause baldness by clogging the pores in the scalp and giving the dandruff germs fertile ground for breeding. The treatment is very simple: Shampoo at least once in ten days and de stroy the dandruff germs by applying frequently Parisian Sage, a delightfully efficient preparation that J. G. Hall is now recommending as the surest treatment to stop falling hair, to remove dandruff and to re fresh and invigorate the hair roots. The cost of a generous bottle of Parisian Sage is very little and drug gists everywhere have been authoriz ed to offer it with guaranteee of per fect satisfaction or money returned. 22-29 adv.
