Seven Health Rules—Re
duce Medicalßill--There
WIH be Fewer Graves in
the Cemetery -- Eschew
Drugs and Intoxicants.
• All America is waking up to the
importance of better health condi
tions, and £tate and National
Governments ate taking deeper in
terest in the subject than ever be
fore. Regardless ot what State or
Nation may do, however, every
individual bv foil wing a few simple
rules of hygene for himself may
greatly increase the length and the
happiness of his own life. Seven
* such young and old, mec and
women, would be immeasurably
increased, doctors' bill reduced,
and the rules we give herewith,
and if they should be followed this
season by the 86,000 farm families
who will read these lines, the
health and efficiency of general
tone of life made notably blighter
. and happier—to say nothing of
fewer graves in the burying-grounds
and Cemeteries at the * end of the
year. Here are the seven rules:
(1) Have a properly planned
and properly cooked diet. Make a
study of this, question and have
your wife make a study of it. We
eat too much meat and too much
hot, pasty food. We do not eat
enough fruit, vegetables, eggs,
butter, and milk. There is no ex
cuse for any farmer not having
enough of these nourishing, health
giving foods, and with them, on«-
can set a table fit for a king.
(а) Chew your tood three times
as long as you have begn doing.'
The Fletcher principle, "Chew
your food till it becomes liquid and
practically swallows itself," is the
only correct guide- Mr, Fletcher
guarantees that his method will
increase the averse man's working
efficiency 25 per cent in six months
(3) Don't overeat. Proper
chewing, however, will practically
prevent this also. Chew your food
thoroughly and_your sense of taste
will be satisfied before you eat too
much. It is when ,-yotr bolt -yonr
food down that you overeat.
, (4) Breathe only fresh air. Let
it into your sleeping roOtn, no
\ matter how cold the weather. The
dread of "night air" is absurb. It
fresh air were only to be had for a
price, thousands of poor people
would be begging monev to buy it.
while as it is, they shut it out on
every provocation. Stuffy parlors
and sittiug-rooms and sleepieg
rooms with all the windows down
breed headaches and develop con
sumption.
—r (5) Drink twice as much water
as you have been drinking. The
average person drinks only half
Drink two glasses when
you get up morning, and as much
as you cau at other times—prefer
able not at meals, however, or for
an hour before or after. * ,
(б) Stop dosing and druggin?
yourself; uever take a patent med
cine. If you are not well, by all
means avoid putting your health
and your life in the hands of men
you know nothing about, and who
know nothing about your ailment.
Nine rimes out of ten a drug taken
into vour system when not needed
acts as a virtual poison, and unless
the physician knows the exact na
ture of your ailment, the chances
are it Is not needed.
(7) Let all intoxicants alone.
No man ,who begins drinking is
* aure that he can keep from
drinking immoderately; while the
latest medical researches have
proved that even the moderate
driafcing injures one's nervons and
mental powers, lessens ooe's ability
to resists disease, and also aids in
developing any latent, disease or

weakness. Surgeon-Camera! Wy
man iii his recent address on
Southern health conditions sounded
a special note of warning concern
ing the iujurious effects of alcoho'ic
driiiks in warm climates.
Of course there are other things
not to be neglected—frequent bath
iug in a room*as warm as the body
(a bath-room just big enough to
turn around in, and quickly heated
by an oil stove will do the work),
eight'Tiours' sleep, and a good sup

seven rules are things most needed
by man. They will
add years to your life and life to

Regular Services
Rev. John W. Tyndal, of Kin
ston, will preach both morning and
night at the Christian Church Sun
day. The congregation has secured
the services of Mr. Tyndall, and
he will preach regularly every
mouth. The public is cordially
invited to attend each service.
Wanted: Short Sermons.
Attendance at church falls off in
the summer. This would not be
so appreciable if the ministers
would arrange to have, shorter ser
vices. If thev would announce
that promptly at twelve o'clock
the benediction would be pro
nounced, the attendance would in
crease. The tendency to lengthen
the service and multiyly the songs
and to preach over half an hour is
in part responsible for small attend
ance. . 1
\shy not, Mr. Preacher, shorten
the services and let everybody
►know that one hour is the maxi
mum length of every service? Of
course, we understand, that it re
quires more work for a minister to
preach a short sermon than a long
one. A parson once said to bis
congregation: "My brethren, I
hqpe you will pardon a long ser
mom today. The truth is that I
have been too busy during the
week to prepare a short sermon,
and having to preach without
proper preparations 1 am forced to
scatter and take too much time."
There is a tradation at Yale that,
President Hadley how long it is.
customary for the sermon to be,
Mr. Hadley replies.
"There is no limit, sir, upon the
time you may preach; but this is a
Yale tradition that 110 souls are
saved after the first twenty min
utes."
This applies to other places as
well as Yale. —News & Observer.
North Carolina Textile School
The Textile School of the North
Carolina College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts ban a complete
equipment of machinery for instruc
tion in Cotton Manufacturing.
Young men who enter this school
are taught to operate the different
machines and to make all the cal
culations necessary to produce yarn
and fabrics. ' *'•'
A completely equipped Dye
house has been added to the school,
and a thoroughly practical course
in dyeing is now given.
Another interesting fact is that
knitting machinery has been added
to the equipment. The knitting
industry is becoming very import
ant in North Carolina, and the ad
dition ot this machinery to the tex
tile school is very timely and make
this school one of the best equipped
in Atfierica.
Last year and again this year the
National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers awarded the Stu
dent's Medal to this school, which
is the only Southern school to re
ceive it. This association is com
posed of the leading mill men in
Anie«-i6a.
The school is under the direction
of Thomas Nelson, who has bad
considerable mill and textile ex
perience in England and America.

Tribute to Confederates
One of the finest editorial tributes
which the annual gathering of the
Confederate Veterans this year has
called forth is from ihe Baltimore
Sun. We reproduce it in part be
low.
From Marathon to Port Arthur,
I 1
in all the annals of military achieve
ment, there has been no braver sol
dierfe than the men who wore4he
Southern gray. They were led by
able geuerals, for the military
authorities of other nations, as well
as our own, havq accorded the
Confederate leaders a place
the great commanders of the world.
Henderson, the British authority,
ratrks Stonewall Jackson as the
most original military genius
modern times, and Lord Wolseley
gives Lee a place with Marlborough
and Wellington as "one of the
three greatest captains of the Kug
lish speaking race"
No material rewards tempted the
Confederate to enlist. He was not
4 '
a mercenary, for his pay was mostly
in promises, and even his food
supply was precarious and uncer
tain. He received mo large money
bounty, and often furnished his
own uniform, his own arms and,
his own mount. Only devotion to
his principles, love of his State and
home ani faith in his leaders could
have enabled him to carry on the
unequal struggle for four long
years. And tho often he had to go
hungry and his uniform was re
duced to rags, the Confederate
fought on with a courage that
nothing could daunt and a daring
that snatched victory after victory
from the very iaws of defeat.
And when the end came at Ap
pomattox the Confederate tramped
back to bis ruined home, and with
bare hands, in the ashes of defeat,
began to build up the structure of
a new civi'iation. He made the
rebuilding of the South the wonder
of the world.
"It is sweet and honorable to die
for one's country," and the brave
men who laid down their own lives
for the South they loved, are re
membered with a tenderness and
devotion that victory could never
win. The willow that waves over
their gwv«s-is more sacred than
the laurel wreath .that any con
querer ever wore. Tlie men and
women of the South place on their
graves the blossoms of spring, fresh
as recollection of their deeds, fra
grant as the rich memory of their
courage and devotion.
Stoop angels, hither from the skies!
There is 110 holier ground
Than where defeated Valor lies
By mourning beauty crowned.

time for the) consideration of the
civil calendar. The business of
court was dispatched with ease,
and many cases settled which had
