temperance III the Democratic Plat
form.
CBiblical RccOrder.O


1t is deeply gratifying to the Chris
tan people Of North Caroline that the
political party that is administering
the affairs Of our Commonwealth has
not only passed excellent laws in the
interest of temperance. but has also
chosen to go before the people on the
merits Of these laws.
1t viii be remembered that a deter
mined and desperate effort was made
in the MIDI of the last session Of the
General Assembly to reverse the tenn
perancc tide in the Democratic party.
Right ~vaIiantly did Senator simmons
meet that effort. And now by way
OF vindication he stands for recollection
to the Senate without opposition, his
leadership Of his party IS u~ndisputed,
and his party in convention has spe-
officially endorsed the Watts and Ward
Acts. We congratulate him.
This means that this legislation is
successful: that it has made good:
that the people are pleased with It:
that the opposition to it has become
~impotent. Il has not vanished. but
It is disarmed and endorsed. Tenn
peranCe as an issue has been Vindi-
Gated. All the evil 50 freely pre-
dicted by MessFs. Murphy. Stubs. Gil
liam and Hackett has utterly failed 70

platform Of their party and defend y.
LAlltt JJAe years - t1tIFltN III ma
Of temperance legislation the writer
has acquired 4 considerable Familiarity
with temperance legislation. past and
present. In our judgment the tenn
perance laws III North Carolina are the
best i'm tho world. For the present,
so far as general legislation goes, the-e
i little to be desired. We have pro-
hibition throughout the rural dis
tricts: we haV" the opportunity IN any
town in the STATE to close the saloons
whenever it Is practicable and wise
that isl, whenever Il majority Of the
citizens in any town wish to do 50. We
do not believe that prohibition would
prove wise in any place where the
majority is opposed to it. In our
judgment, t would be folly TO enact
prohibition in AsheViIle, Wilmington,
Wiuston-Salem or Salisbury without
the expressed consent of a majority Of
the citizens In thes" cities. We do
believe that in the courSe Of time
under our present laws these cities VIII
close the saloons. We hope the adj
vocates Of temperance viii continue
to agitate to this end in everyt city
thai has saloons. They should not
to the General Assembly TO do
| what they cannot themselves do. nor
should they call upon the rest of the
state to administer their cities. Let
them rather keep up the battle within
their own cities. and in time they Will
obtain success far more lasting than
can be maintained for them By out
siders.
We congratulate and we thank thu
Democratic party upon putting 50
strong a temperance plank in its plat
form. It has done well.

1903 report Lord Cromer presents an
argument in favor of government
roads as against roads owned pri-
.vatcIy.
The great danger that Egypt has to
fear is the inheritance Of the feIlah
and the alien ownership Of the land.
Unless great care is taken Egypt Will
drift into the condition Of ireland and
India and be drained Of her resources
by foreign landlords. 1t is very diff
cult for q foreign representative to
arbitratc impartiaIly between his own
people at nome and the natives among
whom he temporarily resides, ana
Lord Cromer Will deserve great credit
if he is able to protect the Egyptians
from exploitation. However We'll mean
ing the English advisers are nov or
hereafter may be. IIgypt's safety must
lie in the development of her own
people. tn" legislative council un-
dcrstands this and insists upon the
extension of the school system. 1t is
wise in SO doing. for every educated
man or woman adds to the moral
force that restraints and directs the
government.
An increase in the number of the
educated not only tends TO the preser-
vation Of law and order, but furnishes
q larger number fit to be officials. and
thus lessons the excuse for the en-
ployment Of foreigners. There has
been, among refornlCrs, some discus
sion Of a constitution. but as that
would curtail the powers Of the khc-
dive as we'll as define the authority Of
England, it would probably be opposed
at present by the MosIcm leaders.

field of education by the United Pres
bytcrianS. They have several churches
and q numbe of very successful
schools and aus be credited with
having contributed largely to the pro-
gross which Egypt has made and is
making.

colors and only 80 upon light ones.
Similar results were obtained with
culex pipiens and culex vexans; 349
preferred dark and only 100 lighter
colors
Thus the chances Of the number OF
mosquitoes bites may be decreased by
choosing light colors for our clothes,
but they can not be avoided entirely.
The only certain protection is veil
of muslin gauze such as is worn by
the Italian railroad watchmen and
soldiers in the malarial zones.
The most rational way is to wage
war against the larvae and eggs of
mosquitoes which they deposit in
swamps and stagnant waters. This is
best done by means OF a thin coating
with petroleum. This should be the
work of the municipalities OF the state.

DENTISTRY IN BRAZIL,

RiC de Janeiro, Brazil.
In Rio de Janeiro there are quite o
large number of Brazilian dentists,
some of whom are prospering. and 9th
ers are not. There 'are also a number
OF American dentists who have plenty
Of WORK at high prices. and while the
cost Of living and their expenses are
very high, they have large incomes.
The advertised prices are 30 to &C
milreis per hour $50 to SIG gold,) the
actual charges being little below
these rates. These successful den
fists, however, are men of experience
and -attainments and would do we'll
anywhere. To secure license one
must pass not only rigid technical
examination, but must read and write
Portuguese fuently. The Brazilfans
who can supply first-class practice are
limited in number and the trade is
we'll controlled, 30 that It would be
difIicult for new dentists to secure an
opening. American dental supplies
are popular and well represented hero.

-Mrs: GHes/erIurry

A nervous, irritable mother. often on
the verge of Mysteries. is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often Is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine.
tcnths of the nervous prostration. ner.
vous dependency, the blues" sleep.
lessncss. and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
Of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are Your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening To
choke you; nll the senses perverted,
norbid!y sensitive TO light and sound !:
pain in the abdominal region. and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
IL so, your nerves are in shattered
condition. and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof Is monumental that nothing in
the world Is better for nervous prostra-
tion than Lydia f. Pinkhnm's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands Of women can testify to this fact.

Modern Washing Machines Unknown

Rheims. France.

Rheims, France.
The following describes the methods
of performing laundry work in France,
and points out that American enter
prise properly directed might intro
duce refrigerators, washing machines.
and other modern articles that are
used in the United States
That a demand should be created in
France for scores of articles of AIneri-
can inventive genius and mechanical
skill is reasonable to suppose. For in
stance, the common household refrig-
orator so universally used in the
United States is unknown in France.
Only the very wealthy families can
afford the expensive refrigerators to
be had. 1t is the same with water
filters--the plain people do not use
them. Washing machines and clothes
wringers, such as are in common use
in the United States. are not known
here. In fact. the conditions do not
seem 70 be favorable for their intro
duction. The family wash in France
Is doIe away from the home, at one
of the. lavoirs publiques provided in
every town and city.
One of these establishments is
owned by the city of Rheims and there
are others conducted by individuals.
The lavoir municipal accommodates
about 800 washerwomen at one time.
and the others from 20 to so each.
Each soman has stall, which is rent
ed, including water. at centimes. or
l cent per hour. Here she lays the
garments on piece of wood. beats
them with club, the same as did the
washerwomen of a century ago. In
some cases she may scrub the clothes
with IN ordinary scrub brush, using
soap. Some of the municipal estab-
lishments have large machines for
washing and for drying, for which
they charge the washerwomen NOM
inal price by the piece. They are run
by steam or electric power. but are
in Use only in the larger cities. A rev.
olution in laundry methods must take
place before there can be a market in
France for our washing machines.
Several bathing establishments in
Rheims, and this is true OF other
French cities. have portable bath tubs.
which are placed on two-wheel vehi-
cles provided with a large iron boiler
filled with hot water. AS orders for
baths to he delivered at the doors of
the residences are received the boilers
are tllled with hot water and the bath
laden vehicles. each pulled by gwo
men, start out for the delivery. The
bath tub Is filled with the hot water
and carried into the residence, and
while the family bath Is going on the
vehicle may fill another order, return
ing again for the tub, which Is in reg
ular commission as visitor to the
residences throughout the city. The
price of Il delivered-at-your-re
bath in Rheims is 80 cents. while at
the establishment it costs 20 cents.
Rheims has a public bath in connec-
tion with the lavoirs publiques owned
by the city, where the nominal charge
of cents is made for baths. There is
a section for people having maladies.
where sulphur baths are given at 6
cents eacli. There is separate sec
tion o! the same kind for women.

GERMAN MEAT FAMINE.

Prussia publishes report on the
slaughtering of animals during the
second quarter of the year 1906. The
figures show plainly that the meat
supply difficulty still exists
In the four years from 1901 to 1904
the total increase of calves and cattle
raised in Prussia was only Sc. 367 head.
which does not keep pace with the
heavy increase OF the population. The
number of oxen and bulls raised in
creased only 90 per cent. Up to
March 1 the deficit caused by the in
sufficient raising OF stock could be cov-
cred by the importation of cattle. but
with the new tariff imposing much
higher import duties this source for
supplying the need is greatly re-
stricted.
The conditions are worse in the sup
ply Of hogs. In Prussia there we're
62,4O9 fewer hogs slaughtered in the
second quarter of 1906 than In the
same quarter of 1905. The German
empire at large has not yet published
exact statistics for the same quarter.
but 1t is not expected that figures will
show an improvement on those quoted
by Prussia. 1t is a fact that while In
the first quarter of the year 1905 g.
924 ,2S0 hogs were officially inspectea
for slaughter in the German empire.
in the same quarter of 1906 the figures
dropped to 3,237,079. This would seem
