Since January 1, 1907, sixty-five Open Air Schools for children af ni.led with or predisposed to tuber ;u: :.:.:o have been established in t'.ve:ity-ight cities, according to an issued to-day by the National Asso- ci . ti-. sn f or the Study and Preven- j tio-i of Tuberculosis. ; ': I- th c t Open Air School in the Wilson, N. C ed States was established on 1 r-r i 1, 1907 by. the Board ot tion of Providence. R. I., at t';e ir.-tance of Dr. Ellen A. Stone, lii j next school was established in U J.:';Uf To the Friends of Temperance and Good Government: The fact that North Carolina now has written upon her statute books laws which prohibit the 'manufac ture and sale of liquor, lays the re sponsibility upon citizens and officers in every community to execute these laws. Let no one believe for one minute that the lawless liquor traf fic has a conscience that will lead them voluntarily to obey. The ex perience of all law-abiding commu nities teach us that it is necessary to use the strong arm of the law and compel obedience. The way the average citizen in our country en forces law is by electing officers, who stand for enforcement. Just at this time, I want to emphasize the ne cessity of citizens using their fran chise in the election of the right sort of officers. It is not enough thpt we have good laws, we must have faithful and efficient officers to make these laws effective, and the making of the officer lies with the citizens. During this spring many towns and cities will be electing their offi cers, and now is the time for our temperance forces to be at work. See to it that such men are nomi nated and elected as will guarantee the execution of the law." It is the duty of every citizen to give some time and attention to the matter of civil government, and it shows a lack of patriotism, if not selfishness, for men to be so wrapped up in per sonal or business affairs that they will not give some thought to the selection and election of men who are to manage their local govern ment. If the enforcement of the prohi bition law in your community is not what it ought to be, see that you use your influence to secure officers who will make it good, and then give them your full support as they make an honest effort to be true to their official trust.

Boston has five open air classes in its schools, and Chicago also has several. According to reports received by the National Association, the result of the open air class-vork has been to restore most of the children to normal health and efficiency. One of those open air schools or classes should be established for each 25,000 population, especially in cities. 1 all our men are experts and we absolutely guarantee you en tire sati.-faction.

There is not nearly so much room for complaint in recent years as in the past. Farmers are taking better care of their tools, and will get better service from them. The question we put to you just now is: wnere are your tools: Are they under shelter or are they out of doors? Have you a tool shed, and re your tools in it, with the metal parts protected from rust by being oiled? The answer will be made by some that they have not been able to put up a tool shed. Well, you must either go to the expense 'of providing some kind of shelter, or you must stand the wear and tear? There is no alternative. Now which is cheaper, to provide a shelter or to buy new tools when the others should be only half worn out? It is one of those cases where a man must do either one thing or the other. Now which is the cheapest? We are very jealous of the reputa tion of the farmer, and it always hurts us to have implement men tell us that the farmer does not get half the wear out of his tools that he should, because he leaves them iust where he unhitched when last usinr them. Wallace's Farmer. You will find him in every town. He never gets ashamed or discour aged. Movement after movement he opposes and fights with all the earnestness of his nature, but he is run over and arises ready to stand in the pathway of the.next improve ment. There is this about him, how ever. He rarely has any influence. Nobody ever thinks ;of consulting him, for his opinion is entirely worth less. There are always a few though, who follow his call. They are naturally against everything but iack the imitative and the nerve to lead; so they follow. It is bad enough to be a,knocker; it is a great deal worse to be a knocker's hench man. Whenever this element of people can dominate a community, that community is "doomed. The only towns in North Carolina that have made any progress are those in which the progressive citizens band themselves together and run rough shod over those who would obstruct and hinder the advance ment of the town. No attention in the world should be paid to people whose stock is to hold back instead of to go forward. Nor do the knock ers all live in town. More's the pity. A good proportion of them live in the country. They are the chief opponents of the local tax for education. Now every body knows a local tax for schools is an unmixed blessing. It is never oppressive, never unwise and always helpful, and yet the knockers hang around and whine about heavy taxation and predict the bankruptcy of the world on account of it. Although these flimsy arguments have been explod ed a thousand times, the knocker's followers take up the cry, and good men are often deceived into voting against the very thing that would make their neighborhood prosper ous, and open the way for all sorts of developments. We have often wondered where the knocker found his fun in the curious course he takes. He cannot be happy, unless he enjoys misery. He is bound to be defeated and discredited sdoner or later, for no one man or set of men can forever hold back the tide of progress. His career is never a profitable one, for while he may save a few cents of taxes he loses the increase in property that his policy prevents. The fact is the knocker is always a loser and never a gainer, and heleads a lot of poor dupes after him who suffer without knowing why. Charity and Children. CHEMICAL CAUSED CANCER. Even Now Curable if Disease Is Dis covered Early Enough. Dr. Howard A. Kell, professor of gynecology in the James Hopkins University Medical School and one of the most prominent surgeons in the country, says physicians are on the eve of defining exactly the cause of cancer and of placing it among the absolutely curable diseases. He believes that it is even now curable, if the signs of its presence are dis covered early enough and if surgery is used at once. Dr. Kelly said re cently: . "The researches of George Crile, of Cleveland Victor Vaughan, of Ann Arbor; Ross, of Liverpool; Flax ner, of New York, and others, by careful animal experimentation and the most refined methods of scienti fic investigation, have demonstrated almost to a certainty that cancer is not like any other diseases. dueto the invasion of minute organisms into the cells of the body, but is due to the overactivity of the cells them selves, which run riot in their growth stimulated and charged by some chemical substance, probably caused by the irritation of the cells. "This fact being established, nar rows the investigation and brings the goal, the cause of cancer, almost in sight, and direct all the energy and ability of our ablest scientists toward the discovery of some chem ical substance which will neutralize that produced by the activity of the cells, and so destroy the growth. "Pending this great discovery, which seems not distant, it is im portant for every human being to remember that cancer is a curable disease if taken in its early stages and treated surgically."

The "Best Breed.' Any of the improved breeds are satisfactory to the man who feeds well, and none will give "luck" to the man who requires them to "rustle" for themselves. Because the pig or the calf fails to make proper growth is no reflection on the breed. The difficulty may possi bly be with the individual member of the breed in question, but it is much more likely that " the fault is yours. It is much more likely that your management is wrong than that the breed or that even the in dividual is at fault. We have known farmers to condemn a breed from their experience with one or two in dividuals and those kept under con ditions which would ruin the chances of any animal of any breed. Raleigh (N. C.) Progressive Farmer. The business that is not advertised these days is going to lag behind in the race, and sooner or later will be so far behind that it will either have to drop out altogether, or merely crawl along. These days Hthe'south" is throbbing with energy and , the spirit of progress is cracking in the air. No longer is the south merely a great farming land, with stores, banks and offices, but it is a big manufacturing garden and is going to be the manufacturing center. So competition along with such indus try, is getting to be a decidedly live issue. Such competition is being felt in every : branch of business and one of the chif assets of acomplish ment is advertising. The busine3s man that does not advertise is not wise, as he evidently thinks himself. He is simply foolish. He is not saviner anything because surely he must labor under such impression, but he is really loosing money. He may not be loosing on his business, but he is not making the money that could be made, and sooner or later he is eoing to feel such perhaps, in crushing manner. The alert adver tiser is the man who gets the busi ness and therefore makes the money and the fellow who stops advertising during a dull season is lacking many of the finer essentials of the sbrewd business man. When business gets dull why advertise. Reach out for business, and you will get it. Wil mington Dispatch. Mr. Merchant, you who so fre quently say that you don't know whether advertising pays or not how is it that you are familiar with the new things that come out in the way of clothes, hats, shoes, hosiery, neckwear, shirts, underwear, milli nery, dress goods, agricultural imple ments, machinery, in fact all hinds of produce? Never read advertise ments, do you? It is absurd for people to say that they don't read advertisements, and it is absurd to claim that advertising does not pay. Every merchant in every town . . 1 -ft 1 should advertise, nrsc 01 an, in nis home newspaper. He cannot make himself well known otherwise; he cannot do as much business as he wants to do otherwise. He need spend only in proportion to the business he does in a year.

He is against it good and hard. Monroe Enquirer. "Our baby cries for Chamberlain's Couerh Remedy," writes Mrs. T. B. Kendnck, Kasaca. Ga.
