WHAT THE DOCTORS THINK OF ALCOHOL I _ , “Whiskey, or any kind of adminis tered alcohol i« now known to be a narcotic and depressant and not a stimulant,” says Dr. Harvey W. I Wiley in the May issue of “Good Housekeeping." He uses the testi mony of the doctors of the land to show that there is no demand on the part of the medical profession for beer and light wines to be used as a medicine. Dr. Wiley said % 53,000 physicians were asked, “Do you regard beer as a necessary therapeutic agent in the treatment of medicine? ’’Seventy four per cent answered, “No.” Ask ed the same question as to wine, 68 per cent an swered, “No.” Only thi teen per cent said they lad found ;t advisable to prescribe leer, wh:'e e ghty-seven per cent said they had net found it advisabi ;. Onlv 21 per ',er t of those who answered ♦ he que.vi* p as to wine sa; ' they found it advisable to prescribe it, while 79 per cent said they had not found it advisable. The survey revealed interesting facts in regard to the larger cities in which beer is manufactured and sold, f hicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. In Chicago, 91 said they had, and 371 said they had not, found it advisable to prescribe beer. In St. Louis 34 advised the use of beer against 142 to the contrary. In Milwaukee 22 found it advisable and 58 had not found it advisable to pre scribe beer. In Cincinnati 9 found it advisable and 99 did not. “Do you hold a Federal permit?” was answered by 8,622. Of this number 29 per cent said, “Yes,” while 61 per cent said, “No.” He says it is interesting to note that many of those holding Federal per mits live in states whose laws d i not permit the use of them, and are hold ing them to be used if ever legalized. "The replies indicate,” says Dr. Wil ey, that probably thirty per cent, of the practicing physicians of the country are armed with permit i Di. Wiley •n.vninai i/cs th^ situation r- he explaini tnat while the school of medicine have 'aught the fallacy ih. i alcohol - a i eh'-r.e, the c -r sansus of c'iniMi n.o.v is that “whis key, or any kinl of rlramislored al cohol is now known to be a nar ot:• end depressan , and not a stimulant —Christian Obi vei Liquor Under the Flag:. The Busehs, of past beer fame, seem to have drawn a fine point on the Shipping Board. The elder Busch went abroad in one of the Board’s vessels and manifested as tonishment that the ship was allowed to operate a bar and to serve whis kies—but after leaving the three mile limit. Chairman Lasker makes frank admission of the liquor traffic, but justifies it on the ground that it is necessary to meet competition of foreign ships. In other words, whlile wdiiskey is outlawed Jn the United States, it is all right for Unit ed States shipping organizations, sailing under the flag of a prohibi tion country, to traffic in the contra band outside of the Government’s jurisdiction. It is a far fetched con tention that so long as ships flying the foreign flags are allowed to enter and depart our shores as privileged liquor ships, the United States will claim the same privilege. The sale of whiskey on an Ameri can vessel in privileged waters ap pears an inconsistency. It might be the better policy to make the saloon less vessel so popular an institution that ft would draw a custom such as would break down competition. There ought to be enough prohibitionists in the country to make a prohibition operated Shipping Board Line a prof itable investment.—Charlotte Ob server. GOLDSBORO LADY TAKES POISON IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, June 14.—Mrs. Rose Lindsey, formerly Miss “Dolly” Williams, of Goldsboro, is ->aid to be dying from bichloride of mercury poisoning at the Emergency hospilai here.

DEATH FROM SNAKE BITES RARE IN U. S., FIGURES SHOW Although the average mortality from American venomous snakes is I a little more than 10 per cent of the persons bitten, death from snake i bites is quite rare, according to the Biological Survey of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture, because relative ly few persons encounter or are bit ! ten by the dangerous species. The most nevomous of our n i* ive snakes live in lonely, little-settled district, often on stony or swampy land that can not be cultivated. Usu ally they disappear at the approach of a man, and while they may trike if provoked, the popular belief in re spect to the distance they can st-ike is erroneous. Three-fourth’. if 'heir own length is about the gr;u: Ust distance p>®vl.; :. * the lego are 1 well protected whirl one is going in to deep woods or places known to be infested by rattlers or other poisonous snakes, there is slight chance of be ing bitten. As the food of snakes consists of living prey, they can not be killed by poison baits. The only method thus far devised to kill them seems to be clubbing or shooting. This is best done in early spring, when they are still sluggish after the winter hibernation. Allowing hogs free run of infested land may reduce the num ber of snakes. However, the popu lar idea that hogs are immune to snake bite is probably based on the impenetrability by the venomous fangs of their thick skin and fat lay er rather than on actual immunity 1 of these animals. The varieties most commonly | found in this country are the Elapi i dae, or Harlequin snakes, and the Crotalidate, or “pit vipers,” which in ' elude rattlesnakes, cotton mouth water moccasins, and copperheads. Florists to Beautify State Fair Grounds. RALEIGH, June 15.—One of the many new and atraetive features of the State Fair this year will be the | display of flowering plants, shrubs, j and cut flowers in Flora! Hall and in ! b«ds outside this hut-ding in Octohe \ j The florists of \\ i th Carolina w M have charge c-f this display. They j have alreaoy made arrangements j with the Fair association to nut on I this flower show in October. The tLi.-sts of the North Carolina Florists Association have appointed committees to work out the details of this display of cut flowers, shrubs, bulb plants, and all varieties of flow ering plants which bloom in the fall. The building just directly in front of the entrance to the fair grounds will be a place of floral beauty by the time the fair opens. A number of florists have already sent down a large number of bulbs and plants with directions for planting them. In addition to the borders and beds which will be arranged along both sides of the entrance to Floral Hall, some of the florists of the state have arranged to plant flowers along the entrances to the Woman’s Building. Uultimately the fair association hopes to make the fair grounds one of the beauty spots of the state. Flowering plants of all kinds which bloom or reach their maturity in the fall will be bedde^ at many places in the fair grounds, in accordance with plans that will be made by a landscape gardener. Mrs. Edith Van derbilt, president of the fair this year, is very much interested in this phase of the development of the fair grounds. A substantial beginning along these lines will he shown in the displays of the North Carolina flor ists next October. The floral display will be in the octagonal domed part of the Floral Hall, which this year will justify its name With one of the finest collections of North Carolina grown flowers ever exhibited in the state. There will be eight booths around the walls and the center space will also be available for displays. The florists are making arrange ments for a demonstration of the work of the Florist Telegraphic De livery Association, an international organization of florists through wCch deliveries of flowers can be made to any part of the United 1 OBITUARY HEAD: “PASSED THROUGH HELL GATE” Henry Waterson was discussing ' typographical errors one day. Said he: “While I’ve heard of a great many funny typographical breaks in my time, about the oddest and most ( hutfiorous transposition of types that ever came to my observation was that in a New York paper some years ago. The paper used to print its shipping news on the same page with the obit uaries. Imagine the glee with which its readers found the captions chang ed one morning, a long list of respect able names being set forth under the marine head, “Passed Through Hell Gate Yesterday.’ ”—Hertford County Herald. Capt. Lewis’ Confederate • Apropos to Reunion. Poem ‘‘This was handed me by one of our Confederate veterans, Capt. J. W. Lewis,” said Mrs. Henry Thoma3, yesterday, “and think it very appro priate for your page just now, as the veterans are getting ready to go ' to the reunion at Richmond.” Capt. Lewis gave Mrs. Thomas a j copy of a Confederate poem, at the top of which is the flag of the Con- j federacy—the Stars and Bars. The poem follows: Confederate Reunion. Get my knapsack, Mary, And my uniform of gray, Get my battered heimet, Mary, For I’ll need them all today. Get my canteen and my leggins. Reach me down my rusty gun, For I'm goin’ out paradin’ With the boys of '61. ] Never mind them 'blood-stains, ! Mary, Never mind that ragged hol6, It was left there by a bullet That was seeking for my soul. Brush away those cobwebs, Mary, Get my bonny flag of blue, For I’m goin’ out paradin’ With the boys of ’62. ] Those old clothes don’t fit me, Mary, ! Like they did when I jwas young, Don’t you remember how neatly 'lo my manly form they clung? Never mind that sleeve that’s emp^y, Let it dangle loose and free, For I’m goin’ out paradin’ W.'tfc the boys of ’63. Full that sword belt tighter Mary, r iy that strap beneath my chin, I've grown old and threadbare, Mary, Like my uniform, and thin. But I reckon I’ll pass muster As I did in days of yore, For I’m goin’ paradin’ With the boys of ’64. Now I’m ready, Mary, kiss me, Kiss your old sweetheart good-bye, Brush away those wayward tear drops, Lord! I didn’t think you’d cry. I’m not goin’ forth to battle sakes alive, I’m just goin’ out paradin’ With the boys of ’65. Soon we’ll all be paradin’, Mary, In that land beyond the stars, On that bright celestial shore With the good old stars and bars. But before we go, Mary, We’ll meet the boys once more, And practice for paradise On that bright and shining shore. —From “One Minute Interviews ’ page, Charlotte Observer, June 15. NEGRO PARADERS Every State in Union Represented by Marchers in Anti-Lynching""Program. WASHINGTON, June 14.—Presi dent. Harding was not here today to review the “silent negro parade” for the Dyer anti-lynching bill, but the marchers went to the White House just the same. This movement of the colored people is embarrassing the ad - ministration. The anti-lynching bill has been pigeonholed for this ses sion, and may never see the light. Senator Borah says it would be de clared unconstitutional if enacted. But the negroes of the north and west demand action on it. Several thousand of them paraded around the Capitol, down Pennsyl vania avenue and past the White House in a silent protest against lynching. It was a national as well as a local affair in that every state in the union was represented. There was no music and no noise of any kind. It was the quietest parade Washington has seen. A platoon of colored policemen from the Washington force led the pro cession. Various Masonic and other bodies of colored citizens appeared in uni forms and others in civilian dress. Tots and old persons rode in auto mobiles. The colored Boy Scouts were out in force. In fact all lead ing organizations of negroes were represented. Placards and banners were numer | ous, all calling for passage of the pending anti-lynching bill or other wise denouncing lynching. Quotations from the banners fol low: “The failure of the anti-lynching bill will be a catastrophe to America.” “This nation will have to pay in this generation or the next for the | crime of lynching.”—H. E. C. Bryant, in Charlotte. There were 359,839 fewer meat ani mals slaughtered in the United States under Federal inspection dur ing April this year than last, accord ing to the U. S. Department of Agri culture. To this shortage sheep and ! lambs contributed 301,511, hogs, 57, ! 533, cattle 577, and calves 218. Profitable and Unprofitable Thinking A farmer once sent his hired boy to the hen coop to get some eggs for breakfast. After waiting a consider able length of time, he went out to see what had become of the boy. Ho found him sitting on a box. “What are you doing?” said the farmer. “Well,” answered the boy, “I am trying to figure out why these black hens lay white eggs.” “I didn't send you out here to fig ure, I sent you to get eggs. Now get those eggs and then get another job.” The hired boy was engager in un profitable thinking while sitting on the box when ne farmer entered, he was sent ou: to do a specific thing-— to gather eggs, which he failed to *do so. Tie farmer's hired boy is typicil cf many beys and men who spend time in unprofitable thinking instead of profitable f i f on. The story is t'da of a young man wi’r, because he was his uncle’s fav orite nephew, thought he was going to inherit his great wealth and so re solved to rake life easy. One day his uncle overheard him remark, “I haven’t got to worry my self about work, uncle has plenty of money saved, and when I step into his shoes I'll make it fly.” But his uncle, who had worked hard to amass his fortune, was not in sympathy with is nephew’s plan to squander, so willed his property to another nephew who gave promise of becoming a sound, efficient, busi ness-like man, capable of putting to good use whatever money he might earn through his own efforts, or by inheritance. To the nephew who had hoped to mnerit his money he left his “shoes.” There are many kinds of unprofit able thinking which injure beyond repair a man’s chance to make the most of himself and to rewards of faithful endeavor. Yeu will lino in every business some oeople who spend a lot of time waiting for an opportunity to “lay down” on their job or to give as little in return for the wage they receive as tr ey possibly can. But the day always comes sooner or Inter, wnen they are found out. Their thirling gets registered some how in theii bosses’ mind and their places are given to others. You will find* everywhere young men who try to formulate schemes how they can sow little in the field of labor and still reap abundance, how they can spend all they may earn in pleasure and still have a bank account. You will find everywhere, those who think that if they wait long enough somethyig will happen in the line of luck, or pull, or chance, that, or someone will come along who will give them all that their heart de sires. Such thinking never gets a man anywhere on the road to lasting suc cess. It is a delusion. It is unprofit able. On the desk of a successful mer chant is the motto, “Think right and right away.” I commend to every young man in this place today these - words. Wrong thoughts are the most unprofitable investment anyone can have. They lead a man into moral bankruptcy. Right thinking, backed by ambi tion and conscientious labor is inde pendent of luck or pull. But. “Think right and right away,” is not all. Tf e is another step in the process of making a suc cess of your life. It is: “Start right and right away.” Profitable thinking must be put to work, it must be given a chance to prove its worth. “Think right and right away,” “Start right and right away,” are best interpreted in the third step, which is “Do right and right away.” Life is after all a most serious thing, and G <d has given it to us as an in vestment. To what use are we put ting i ? Is our life an asset or a lia bility to the world? Are we living up to the best that is in us? Are we using our brains in search of the highest and noblest possessions? Have our thoughts been profitab’e? Have they been right thoughts? Whither have we been journeying? Towards success or failure, towards happiness or not, toward victory or defeat? I leave with you the master keys whu h with your own efforts will open to yen a futurevabounding >rtth life’s oest possessions. The first is: “Think right and right away.” The second is: “Start right and i ,ghc away.” ! he third is: “Do right and right away.”—Exchange. Dahlia Root Rich in Sugar < The sweetening quality of dahlia roots is (iO per cent gieater than the amount of sugar obtained from sugar cane, according to estimates. The root is not starchy like that of the potato, but is rmh in sugar. Dahlias grow wild in Mexico and can be rgown anywhere in the United States. —Dearborn Iendependent,
