had brains enough to be irppresued
with the efforts of the Department of
Agrioulcure to iacrf e production,
and he was willing, to be Uught by
the "book farmers.". The first thing
he was told to do was to break land
eight inches VleepV He had small
plows and two ponies that were un
equal to this task; but he borrowed a
team from a neighbor, sad iastead of
"making" three bales front twelve
acres, he made" oac oa a' single acre,
all that he had applied intensive cul
ture to. He got alf a bale aa acre
ia 1908, three-fourths of a bale aa
acre ia 1909, and Tie expects ultimately
to get two bales from aa acre.
; He is out of debt, has four', fine
mules, and he has a son and a daugh
ter in college. The - storekeepers, are
chasiqg him around trying to sell him
goods on credit. He was willing to
learn from the "book farmers," and it
has paid him well.
by the disease in question is attributed
ch'efly to thorough supervision of

of water supply. The moral pointed
for Other Commonwealths is so plain
that he who runs may read. What
Pennsylvania is accomplishing in the
conquest of typhoid can also be ef
fected by every other State in the Union.

Problems of health, sanitation and

Don't fail to hear Dr. Stiles.
There should be a large attendance
of New Bern people out to hear Dr.
C. W. Stiles tonight at the Griffin
Auditorium. Dr. Richard Duffy has
a statement in the Journal telling of
the high standing of Dr. Stiles in the
medical world. From this hose who
did not know it already will learn that
Dr. Stiles is a man of unusual dis
tinction. It will be worth much to
hear him,
North Carolina as a State and the
towns, cities and counties within its
borders are working towards a con
tinuous reduction of the typhoid fever
death rate. We do not have at hand
the figures as to the death rate from
typhoid in this State, but while it
may not be so favorable as that of
Pennsylvania we feel sure that by
comparison with the figures of some
years ago the showing would be found
to be a very good one. The city health
bulletin this week is on the question
of prevention of typhoid and it should
be. carefully read and noted by all
citizens interested in keeping New
Bern comparitively free from typhoid,
as it is at present.
SAVING THE CHILDREN.
The country over thousands of
bab'ei die every summer from pre
ventable diseases. In some 'respects
, the death of a baby is the saddest
diath of all. Out side of the immedi-
, 3 ite family circle it makes but a slight
impression, but inside .that charmed
circle it brings anguish of the most
poignant sort. In view of that fact
there will be a general welcome for
; the information that the Children's J
Bureau of the Department of Labor
is preparing a compilation of the steps '
."- which various up-to-date cities are '
. taking to protect child-life and will
a circulate it broadly over the country. I
" This is bringing the government
.. close to the people in a practical way.
. Babies are as important as cattle and
; hogs even from theeconomic standpoint
A WORTHY INSTITUTION
The Journal has received the fourth
annual catalogue of the East Caro
lina Teachers Training School, located,
it is hardly necessary to add, in our
neighboring town of Greenville. This
institution is we belive doing a great
work in the educational life of the State.
According to our information it ad
heres rigidly to the purpose which
its name indicates as responsible for
its existence. In this way it is af
far-reaching service in turning out
teachers who have in addition to the
information necessary to discharge
their duties, the special training needed
to qualify them for the specific work
of imparting information to the young.
The Greenville institution is one of
which every loyal citizen of the State
may well be proud. Better teachers
mean a better State.
LEGISLATIVE COMMISSION.
Illinois, it is learned through a clipp
ing reproduced in the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
from the Ohio- State
Journal, is to have a legislative com
mission which will provide for sys
tematized legislation. This innova
tion at all events should have the
effect of eliminating the "joker." And
it is an acknowledged fact that some
laws are so drawn that much litiga
tion is required to find out precisely
what they mean. The Illinois com
mission should serve a very useful
purpose if by reason of familiarity
with the routine of legislating it does
not unduly influence the rep
resentatives whom the people charge
with the duty of passing their laws.

The promiscuous way people "have
of taking drugs for ailments without
consulting a physician must wreck
many lives in every community.
Every man's being his own docti r
is a very costly thing, and yet the
idea back of it is that it is a saving
of expense. If people would let medicine
of all kinds alone unless forced to
take it under direction of a capable
physician, nd would follow sensible
rules for eating and taking proper
care of themselves, their stay on this
mundane sphere would average up
better. No man would dose or feed
his horse or hog as recklessly as he
does himself. Queer, isn't' it?
The death of a Macon banker and
the sensational circumstances surround
ing it made a "good news story,"
and so with the other deaths from the
same cause which followed: but no
one has kept or can keep a record of
the cases of broken health, resulting
li death before time, ctused by the
use of drugs for the alleviation of real
or fancied diseases and ailments. Medi
cine is a poison, used as an antidote
for another poison. Like cures like.
When, however, there is no poison
or but little poison in the system,
medicine acts as such. It injures the
n;rves, the intestines, the blood or
acts in some way detrimental to the
system. The taking of medicine by
a well man or too much by one suffer
ing from the wrong kind of medicine
in any condition is a menace to health
and even to-life.
The difference is that we know of
cases of sudden death, but not of the
slow, but none the less sure, process.

CAPACITIES OF THE SOIL.
The average corn production in this
country is about 25 bushels to the
acre. In a good year it may rise to
30 or thereabouts. Yet here and
there, in many localities, we hear of
farmers who get 60, 75 and occasional
ly more than 100 bushles. The aver
age production of wheat the country
over is barely 15 bushels especially
favorable for wheat raising. Yet oc
casionally 74 bushels are raised. The

There is more Catarrh in this section
in the country than all other diseases
but together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease and pre
scribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local. treat
ment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven Catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment, Hail's Catarrh

stitutional cure on the market. If is
