The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreadful disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages,
and that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Ca
tarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internal
ly, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, there.
by destroying the foundation of the
disease. and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitu'
ton and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in it's curative powers that they
offer one hundred dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list o.

But the correspondence course in
hypnotism is now the rage. The les
sons are sent out either IN book form
or by SOME of the systems of mani
folding typewriting. In this way a
tempting dose can be administered
for fiat price, but more startling in
formation is guaranteed If more money
is sent, and son on. The elementary
course gives simple methods by which
the home lOafer, with nothing to &C.
cupy his mind, may commence ex-
periments upon his little sister. This
leads to the exhibition course, which
eQuips him as an itinerant mesmer-
list, and further course makes him
magnetic healer, while the highest

Tortures Prescribed as Tests.
All sorts of tortures are prescribed
as tests by which the novice may as
certain his aptness. To be sure that
his subject is under control, for ex-

pin in the back of his hand. Being

1t may be suggested that needles or

or cheeks will cause him no pain and
he will not finch when they are in

JAPANESE WOMEN IN WAR.
Uppe rmost Thought is Aid and Relief
for Soldiers in the Field.


Since the outbreak of war I have
hardly had time to look after my
household, so occupied has been my
time, in connection with many socie
ties and organizations directly con-
cerned with this war, says MarchiOn.
ess Oyama in Golfers Weekly. OF
course, the foremost among them is
the Red Cross society. In connec-
ton with this is the Ladies' Volunteer
Nursing association, of which I am a
director. The object of the society is
implied in it's name, but aside from
that we make bandages and the FIRST
aids" after the most approved meth
DDS. We have made tens of thousands
of rolled bandages, and $4,000 of the
first aids, and we are still making
them. The society includes the ladies
of our highest class downward-the
imperial princess, the women of our
nobility, etc. You can not realize how
earnest the ladies of our upper classes
are unless you know their life init
mately They who never dressed
themselves without maids waiting on
them, they who never held in their
hands anything heavier than their
handkerchiefs, they who never went
| outside of their houses without two
or three attendants, all come alone
to the hospital with their little luncll
baskets and their bundles containing
their nurses uniforms.
My daughter was on the committee
to get up New Years presents for the
! soldiers at the front. OF course, 1t
| was impossible to send them to all,
| but it was better that even a fe '
should have their hearts gladdened
than none at all when they were doing
so much for their country. The young
peoples plan was quite novel one
They made bags of strong mulberry
paper about six inches wide and IL
inches long, in which they asked PEG
pie to put in anything they liked
anything they thought soldiers would
like. For instance, in one bag l pui
a pair of wooden socks, piece OF
Japanese towel, a cake of soap, q
toothbrush and tooth powder; in an
other pair of warm gloves. pack
age of cigarettes and handkerchief
in another a package of silk wadding
postal cards, pencil etc. When my
daugter has time she sews on the
little dresses for the children of the
destitute families of soldiers.
All the girls schools offered to make
soldiers underclothing during the
hours of their sewing lesson, which is
always part of the regular curricu
lum for girls schools. The offer wa.
accepted by the war department, ant
even the youngest ones have beer
made happy, thinking they were doins
something for the country.

The people of the United States
wish Chinese to come to America to
give a supply of cheap labor or they
do not wish them at all. We nave
no other use for them than to till the
soil, build railroads, dig in mines, cook
and wash and do other manual labor.
Quite a large number could be used
to labor, but if they are brought into
the country as laborers in large num-

tigating Committee. a Mr.. Thummel,
who had charge OF the Legislative
business for the New York Life, tes-
tiiicti that the three great companies
divided out the States. and that North
Carolina in the division fell to the Mu-

The Governor of North Carolina
and the Insurance Commissioner
should take steps TO investigate and
ascertain what was done with money
sent to North Carolina. This State is
as free from graft as any i'm the
Union-freer we believe-but the de-
velopments of graft are SO numerous
IT is possible that North Carolina was
touched in some degree. Let the mat

In the multitude of men who have

who have spoken with more wisdom

two are the Governor and the Insur-

when the directors OF great in

How the Quakers Defeated Judge
Tourgee's Baseball Nine.
Greensboro Record.l

Greensboro Record.)
The baseball season is drawing to
a close all over the country. The
season so far as Greensboro is con-
| cerned, closed a month or more ago,
but under circumstances that predict
furthcr sport next year. This re-
minds us that Greensboro, even away
back in the sixties, was a leader, for
the first baseball team in the State
was organized here by a man who
afterwards attained a national repu-
tation, Judge Albion W. Tourgee,
author of Fools Errand," and 9TH
er books, the plots of which were laid
in the South, more particularly in
this place. Judge Tourgee went North
along in the sixties, saw the game,
came back home and organized q
team 1t was composed of men Of his
age-about 80 years and upwards,
and the judge was made pitcher. The
team was named the Big Lazzies. ;"
suggested by the judge himself, and
it was very appropriate, for the ma
jority of the members refused to play
or practice, until the sun was low in
the heavens. The team managed to
organize a second nine. composed of
the younger set, but the seniors al
ways won every game and felt they
were cocks of the walk But one day

He had already organized a team at
Guilford College, then New Garden
Boarding School, but very few people
in Greensboro knew it until he told
the Big Lazzies and challenged them
for a game. 1t was pulled off near
where the A. and NJ. College is nOv
located and that was the last OF the
Big LazZies. The Quakers beat them
out Of their boots and the Greensboro
Patriot. "A weekly. then edited by Mr.

backed up by all classes of people.
That statement was made on the
ninth of August. Since it was written
the boycott has almost fallen to
pieces.
AS to the remedy" the Chinese
diplomat says it will be necessary to
make a new treaty by which with
the exception of laborers, all other
Chinese should be admitted freely"
the administration of the laws should
be lass harsh than at present, and
that exclusion laws should apply only
to the United States proper and not
to the Philippines and to Hawaii.
These remedies sound plausible.
Certainly if the law is administered
harshly or unfairly, the President
should stop such administration at
once, and he can do it by changing
officials if necessary. But, while
sounding very plausible, the demand
of WI Ting Fang that with the ex-
ception of Chinese laborers, all other
Chinese should be freely admitted"

Chinaman wishing to come here
would call himself "1aborer." All
would be students or travellers, but
after successfully passing the officials
they would be transported to the

come almost serf laborers. The ex-
clusion act ought to be literally en-
forced, but with no harshness
If amended so as to permit travel
lers and students, the provisions to
guarantee their return to China af-
ter they have finished their travels
and studies should be 80 clear that
there could be no evasion. Unless this
is done, We would have, a deluge of
students and travellers who would
remain in the United States.
Most Of the people who favor

would keep out laborers they would
