that the disease can be checked, but
-bliterated and effaced from the
-arth, if a well organized attempt is
made in the direction of assistance
md with keen sighted educational
oeasures and supervision. But the
r'act remains that this battle agains
disease must be perpetrated by the
people. Its uiccess depends upon
the organization of a fighting force
in every community devoted to its
object and inspired to a constant and
unabated activity. Tuberculosis is a
preventable disease and must be pre
vented. Tuberculousis kills more
oeople and costs more money than
ill other communicable diseases com
bined. But it will take a combined
effort on the part of the entire peo
ple to prevent it. This campaign on
tuberculosis is clearing up the whole
local health situation. We cannot get
control of tuberculosis without
making it practically impossible for
tny of the filth or needless disease
fo exist. In getting rid of this
disease we will raise the whole stan
dard of living for the average people.
The prevention of disease rather
lhan its cure, the removal of the
.auses and condition conducive to
disease, is a primary object of. this
:-.-ffort.
"We would like for this informa
tion to be brought to the attention
of the ministers of North Carolina
in view of a request to make Sunday,
November 28, sanitary Sabbath. On
this day we hope that every minis
ter in the State will preach a special
health sermon, explain the little Red
Cross Christmas stamp and its mis
sion, explain the fight aj-inst disease,
explain the warfare against consump
don and appeal to the people to save
themselves. We desire the service
of the ministers for our first sanitary
Sabbath."

There have been a number of
things connected with the adminis
tration of Gov. Kitchin that, in our
opinion, have entitled him to the com
Ticndation of the people. To a large
element in the State his conduct of
office has proved a distinct surprise
prehaps, we might say agreeable
disappointment. Feeling this way,
the Chronicle is in hearty accord
.vith some expressions which it finds
in the Greensboro Record. That
oaper thinks Governor Kitchin is an
illustration of a man who attends to
his duties, no matter what the papers
say. During the canvass for the
nomination many were the predic
tions that he would "run amuck,"
"The State's business would suf
fer" and all that. "Instead," says
rhe Rf cord' "he has remained at his
oost declining invitation after invi
ration, refusing to go to tha King's
Mountain celebration, but he finally
vielded. He should have gone and
now is going to introduce Presi
ednt Taf t at Wilmington next month.
But these are exceptions. He sticks
right to his knitting and the public
is fast finding out that he is the
hardest man to fool that ever held
office. Cajoling him or flattering him
has no effect; he insists on know
ing all the case before he acts and
favoritsm has no place with him.
Sometime ago he approached apromi
nent gentleman and asked him about
the qualifications of a certain man
desiring some position. He said he
wanted to know if he was competent
honest, sober, and a gentleman who
could be relied on. The answer was
yes, but his informant remarked
'but he f aught your nomination.'
'That makes no difference to me
replied the Govenor; 'I want the
best man for the place.' And he
got the position."
We think the Record would re
quire too much in not wanting Gov
ernor Kitchin to meet appointments
among his own people. We would
not have him make a hermit of him
self. It is his duty, as it is his plea-
FOOD AND FATIGUE.
Meats and Their R edition to Muscular
Exhaustion.
Kest Alter Keals.
The recent experiments to discov
er the effect of diet on physical en
durance are regarded by a writer in
the Revue Scientifique as clearly in
dicating that entire or partial absti
nence to fatigue. He remarks that
there is always a lively contest on
between meateaters and vegetarians,
but all questions of theory or self
appreciation a part, he believes it is
interesting to inquire whether flesh
eaters resist fatigue better than ab
stainers. He notes first a series of
experiments made by our own Prof.
Irving Fisher on health subjects
chosen from among both flesh-eaters
and vegetarians, showing that the
latter resist fatigue much longer
than the others. "This fact hav
ing been duly established," he
says, "it remains to investigate the
cause." He continues:
"Dr .A. Haig thinks thatjthis resist
ance is acquired by all those who
give up foods that are able to form
uric acid; for according to him, it is
this that causes fatigue. His
theories have found both adherents
and opponents,
"According to Haig, the action of
uric acid is due to the fact that it
makes the blood viscous, and that
therefore the heart finds difficulty in
forcing it through the capillaries,
so that there is an increase of blood
pressure. Observation shows, in
fact, that persons who have great
endurance often have a low blood
pressure,
"Another theory than Haig's has
it that flesh food contains 'fatigue
poisons' which accentuate the effects
of those produced by the muscular
activity of the organism,
"Finally according to a third
theory, that of Professor Chittenden,
as noted by Prof. Irving Fisher, the
fatty substances and carbohydrates
are burned entirely in the organism,
being reduced to carbonic acid and
water, which are easily crystaliza-

The bequest of practically his whole
estate to his wife made in the will of
E. H. Harriman has aroused anew
the old controversy as to who is the
richest woman in America. This
question is about as interesting and
as profitable as the mooted question
of who discovered the pole first, or
was it revision downward, or who
hit Billy Patterson or how old is Ann?
Ic matters little whether Mrs. Har
riman is richer than Hetty Green or
Mrs. Sage. It matters a great deal,
however, that 'a few women own and
control so large a share of the
wealth of the Republic.
Below is a partial list of the
men who are supposed to be
richest of their sex in America:
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Sr
ceived $2,000,000 and annuity of $20
0,000 a year from her husband's es
tate. Mrs. Marshall Field from hus
band's estate of $20,000,000, receiv
ed $3,000,000 in lieu of her dower
right.
Mrs. Thomas B. Wanamaker re
ceived one-third of husband's estate
$20,000,000.
Mrs. Morris K. Jessup got $9,917,
000 from her husband's estate of $13,
000,000. Mrs. II. H. Rogers from her hus
band's estate or $100,000,000, receiv
ed a home and $100,000 a year.
Mrs. Roswell P. Flower received
the bulk of her husband's estate of
$7,000,000.
Mrs James Henry Smith received
$3,000,000 in lieu of dower rights in
her husband's estate of $30,000,000.
Mrs. William K. Thaw received
$10,000,000 of her husband's estate
of $20,000,000.
Mrs Russel Sage received all of her
husband's estate of $63,750,000.
Mrs. Hetty Green has made $100,-
000,000.
Mrs. H. O. Havemyer received a
widow's share of her husband's es
tate of $20,000,000, a home and $50,-
000 a year.
Miss Hellen Miller Gould received
about $16,000,000 from her father's
estate.
Mrs. William B. Leeds has a life
interest in her husband's estate of
$30,000,000.
Mrs. Phoebe Hearst has all of her
husband's estate of $30,000,000 if she
does not re-marry; $10,000,000 if she
does.
Mrs.Frederic C. Penfield (formerly
Miss Annie Weightman) inherited
$80,000,000 from her father.
Mrs. Harriman has inherited an es

Unless Falstaff 's reasoning may ex
plain it how shall fat men account for
the interest which the Departmeut
of Agriculture is taking in them? Sir
John argued that as flesh is weak and
he had more than most men, he was
entitled to plead greater weakness
than his fellows. Viewed in this light
gentlemen of large girth and legiti
mate subjects government's pater
nalistic care.
But Why should fat men fall under
the jurisdiction of the Department of
Agriculture? Our portly fellow-citizens
are not vegtables, and it would
be brutal indeed to classify them as
live stock. They may be ponderous
but they are men and brethren. If
we were to give thought alone to cc
pons, roasts, gravies, pies, puddings
and favorite brews it would appear
that these gallant frenchmen belong
ed properly in the care of the Interior
Deparment,
? All this, however, has no bearing on
the theory of the learned professors
of agriculture who set up the origi
nal idea that stout men suffer more
from heat and humidity then their
lean and hungry compatriots; that
they should live in cool climates: pre

There are six really big shoe fac
tories in the United States. These
turned out 25,000,000 pairs of shoes
last year. Shoes to the value of
$340,000,000, were used in this
country. Altogether the trade in rub
bers increases every year, only $70,
000,000 was spent for such things
last year.
We are told that the preaching of
vegetarianism interferes greatly
with the shoe business. Last year
Germany took a notion to eat less
meat and, according to The Book
keeper, the shoe manufactures in
the land of the Kaiser were, in di
pare. It is necessary to sell a great
deal of meat in order that hides may
be obtained without loss.
This is another instance of the
need of co-operation between manu
facturers of all kind. Unless Swift
and Armour and the other packers
are able to sell their goods the fac
trips in the East must do with less
leather. When the factories are for
ced to eet along with less leather the
world must get along with fewer
shoes, and must also pay a higher
price for those it does buy.
It is interesting to know that the
foreign shoe trade is constantly in
creasing. American salesmen are

The earliest railway tickets differ

The booking clerk was furnished with
a volume, the pages of which were
divided down the center by a per
forated line the outside half of each
page was again divided into slips
about four inches long by an inch and
three-quarters in width, on each of
which was printed the name of the
issuing station; spaces were provid
ed in which the clerk had to write
the destination, passenger's name,
date of issue and the time the train
was due to depart.
One of these slips, duly filled in
was detached from the book and
handed over to each would-be-passenger
in exchange for his fare.
The traveler, having thus obtaim d
his ticket, was nassed on to the
guard of the train by which he de
