"The social order will not be over-turned," I said, "nor will people like your friends be strip ped of their possessions. But I do believe that the rich will be poorer and the poor will have a degree of comfort and security that they have never possessed before. And this will be better for everybody.*' In saying this, I am taking a position which is contary to my own selfish interests, for, while I am not and never shall be rich, I have an income that is much above the average. If taxes are higher, mine will go up with the rest. But shouldn't they? What have I done to deserve as much as I get out of life? , If I have used intelligence, it is not greatly to my credit. I hap pened to have been born into a home of culture. I was sent to college, and my expenses were paid. Many rich people, who are wor ried for fear they will have to bear a larger burden in the fu ture, have had all these advan tages, plus the added advantage of inherited wealth. When they grumble they give me a pain. Surely, we who have had the best luck in this country are go- THE ELKIN TRJBUINfE EUIITN NORTH CAROLINA ing to be wise enough to recog nize it and to assume cheerfully our full share of the load. • . . . Take the Profit Out of War My friend Admiral Samuel Mc- Gowan was purchasing agent for the Navy during the World War. He saw' something of the fine idealism and sacrifice which war' calls forth. But he saw, also, how greed and profiteering and the basest sort of foolishness wrap themselves in the cloak of patrio tism and proceed cold-bloodedly to exploit the public necessity. He suggests a plan for preven tion that would entirely remove the present premium on war and in its stead impose a very heavy penalty. I cannot see how any intelli gent patriotic person can object to that proposal. If we had the sense and courage to write it into the Constitution at once we should destroy war propaganda, for no one would be so foolish as to spend money on propaganda when no money could possibly be made from war. The silliness of war, under modern conditions of destructive ness, is almost as appalling as its horror. The FAMILY DOCTOR (By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.) | SUGAR IMPORTANT TO HEALTH An authority from Vienna at tributes "strikingly favorable re sults" in the treatment of heart disease and stomach ulcers, with table sugar. If I had these sort of complaints, I'd consult my doctor as to how to use the sweet. You know, sugar is one of our staples. The value of sugar "in relieving fatigue and supplying quick en ergy," also has scientific endorse ment. The Vienna authority is believed to be the first to suggest the use of sugar in the treatment of certain widely prevalent dis ease. He, (Dr. Rocht) claims to have used sugar in the treatment of stomach and duodenal ulcers, with good success. He noticed in crease of appetite, with better food-tolerance, an increased sup ply of mucous, favored by the su gar. _ He saw improvement in the ha bitual constipation in such cases, with notable gain in weight. Too, remarkable increase in nerve force, less melancholia, and more happy disposition in the gloomy victims. The relief was not immediate but gradual and lasting. He says, "sugar is the most important nu tritional element of the heart, in that it lowers blood-pressure and stimulates the liver and kidneys." Dr. Donald A. Laird, of Colgate University, contributes to a scien tific symposium on sugar; he states that sugar contributes to restful sleep. This argues, almost, for a chocolate at bedtime, doesn't it? Dr. Laird also deqjares it to be valuable in curing "vague feelings of fatigue, so common among phy sicians' patients." A remedy for "that tired feeling," so commonly met. In short, if sugar helps re lieve mental and physical tire, and favors restful sleep, then it certainly is among our most val ued foods. Ijonesville, r. i Rev. I. W.

Support of this statement is available in volumes of Federal statistics and data regarding the state's indus try, commerce and agriculture. They tell a graphic story of how well North Carolina weathered the storms of the depression and how well the state is prepared to move forward during the fairer economic weather ahead. One reason the state enjoys such a favorable position is be cause of the diversity of its agri culture and industry. Farmers are not forced to depend on a single commodity nor industrial workers on a single branch of industry. And along the seaboard, in the Piedmont region and in the mountains, are found many indi cations that the economic stabil ity in North Carolina is well founded. Naturally, the fine standing of the state, reflected in the reports and studies sent to Congress, is a source of much gratification to the members of the delegation in Congress. It should also bring pride to all citizens, particularly at this commencement season for schools and colleges, when so many of our younger generation prepare to face the problems of life, economic and social. On numerous occasions, my colleagues in Congress who have visited North Carolina or passed through the state enroute to and from other destinations, have been loud in their praise of the physi cal appearance of the state. They have referred to the skyline of smoke belching from factory chimneys and the hum of busy machinery. They have referred to the well-painted and well-kept homes that line the highways. They have referred to the busy communities reflecting the active life of North Carolinians —all in dicating that people are noticing the way in which our state is quietly going about solving its problems to the advantage of all citizens. Hardly a day passes in Wash ington that some member of Congress does not pass along to Itorth Carolina colleagues a fav orable reaction to some activity within the state. As those who have their eyes on North Caro lina come from every far-flung section of the United States, here is indeed evidence that the peo ple. throughout the country are favorably attracted to the state. It has been said on many oc casions that a steady flow of vis itors to the state means new rev enue for our people without un dermining our soil, denuding our forests, depleting our mines or in terfering with basic means of in come. It is gratifying to know that the state is preparing to launch an aggressive program to increase the flow of visitors, many of whom will remain as residents. Many section of the state have been developed by the capital of the people who visited the state, became attracted by its possibilities, and have become North Carolinians in spirit and in deed. These observations lead to one important conclusion. It is that North Carolinians should find in the interest of others refreshing evidence of what their state of fers. Students should have full knowledge of the opportunities to be found. Tours of the state for and by North Carolinians should be encouraged. The fisherman at Nag's Head should know the woodsmen in the mountains and vice versa. In this way a great er degree of state pride and civic consciousness will be developed and the high standing of North Carolina among the states will draw even more favorable atten tion, „ Irunlx'fiti ( one Auction Sale I 70 NICE RESIDENTIAL LOTS JUST OUTSIDE CITY I 1 LIMITS ON ELKIN-TRAPHILL ROAD.
