and three other children are all that
remain Of the family, the others
all long dead. Every one of them
were intelligent naturally, would
doubtless be living to-day if they had
been treated in time, for undoubtedly
every one of them were victims of
the hookworm.
Last week. at our State Federation
of Clubs convention, when the hook
worm disease was mentioned, our
people laughed. In other cases they
seem to think it a disgrace. The
laugh, to me, is for the one who dis
credits the existence Of the hook
worm disease, and the disgrace be-
longs to those who know of it's ex-
istence and are doing nothing to
eradicate it. When 1 was a little
child just after the war, there came
to my fathers house three Confed-
crate soldiers just out of North
ern prison. My father, who was him
self soldier, invited them in. One
Of them whispered to him: 1--WE can
not come in. Let us go to the barn
and send us something to eat" My
father soon had some of his own
clothes out, hot water and soap were
supplied and bon fire was made in
the back yard. The old, soiled gar
ments were burned and these men
were the honored guests in our
home. Disgraced because they had
lice and prison itch? Oh, no! They
had offered their lives for their
country and nothing but disloyalty
to that country could disgrace them.
Many of these people who have hook
worm disease can neither read nor
write. They are laborers, tillers of
our soil, lives into which but little
sunshine come, but If the call came
to defend our country, as it did in
the COS, they would be just as ready
to respond to the call as any class OF
citizens in our State.
Let us not wait for the dispensing
Of Mr.. Rockefeller's dollars or stop
to inquire how they are spent. DR.
Ferrall assured me If the entire mil
lion given was for North Caroline
alone it would not be enough, sc
great is the need, but let NORTH
Carolina people enter whole-heart
eddy into this health campaign nov
being inaugurated.

ly in the belief that as a minister OF
the gospel he was living in a sphere
of ideals and theories, apart from the
worlds activity and progress, Charles
H. Braden, formerly pastor of Grace
Baptist church of Spokane, has aban-
doned the pulpit to enter national
politics, which, he says, after all to
some extent, expresses life as it is
actually lived, adding:
II have come to feel that while
the ministry continues to preach and
idealize, politics continue to live and
do; that the gap between them con-
tinues to widen, and that the preach
er's world of ideals is coming to be
regarded by the practical world as
an embodiment of fanciful theories,
excellent to be written about, sung
about, theorized about, and, to some
extent, cried about, but not to be car
ried into politics and government and
made universally operative. I have
no word of criticism to pass upon the
calling of the ministry. It is the
highest among men. While / was in
it I tried to fulfill its requirements
to the utmost"

VOLUNTEERS TO Be
REWARDED
IF THE BILL OF REPRESENTA-
TIVE PRICE OF ILLINOIS is
PASSED 1T WILL HELP SOME

Washington, April 1S.-A pension
bill of sweeping provisions, under
which all volunteer officers of the
United States army who served six
months or more will receive retired
pay according to length of service,
and all honorably discharged enlisted
men over 70 years and suffering a
certain degree of disability, would
receive straight pension of $50 per
month, was reported to the House
yesterday by Representative Price of
Illinois, from the committee on mil
itary affairs. In recommending the
measure the committees report says
that although the volunteer troops
formed SO per cent of the arms of
the United States and SO per cent of
officers have received all the honors
and rewards of the government and
the volunteer officers nothing.
The scale of retired pay for volun-
teer officers as fixed by the bill is
! one-third of the initial active pay of
corresponding regular officers, for
those who served two years or more,
and for those of less time of service
the pay is in proportion.
Officers who lost an eye or limb
| in the line of duty or incurred dis
ability as prisoners of war would re-
ceive the full benefits of the act
without regard to length of service.
No officer who served more than
six months would receive less than
$500 per annum and no officer may
receive more than two two-thirds of
the present pay of captain of the
regular army.

TAFT WELCOMES
OAR.

Washington, D. c., April 18-With
an address of welcome by President
Taft the ninenteenth Continental
Congress of the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution was opened this
morning in Continental Memorial
hall More than 1000 delegates and
alternates from all the states of the
union attended. Mrs. Matthew T.
Scott, president-general of the society
presided and in addition to President
Taft the notable speakers included
Thomas Nelson Page. the we'll known
author, and John Barrett, director of
the International Bureau of American
Republics.
The congress will be in session
throughout this week and already
bids fair to be marked by several
warm contests, the principal one be-
ing over the office of president-gen
eral. Mrs. Scott is a candidate to
succeed herself and will run on the
regular" ticket. Her chief oppon-
ent is Mrs. William Cummings Story,
the candidate of the 'insurgent" fac
ton. 1t is rumored that the contest
may be made a three-cornered affair
by the entry of Mrs. Donald Mclean,
who retired as head of the organiza
ton last year.
The insurgents" are confident of
success this year. They have been
gathering campaign material since
the last election, and have secured
the support of a number of the lead
ing officials of the society, including
Mrs. Mary B. Wilcox, the recording
secretary general, who recently de-
nounced Mrs. Scott in an open let
ter to the heads of the various chap
tiers throughout the country, for the
latter's action in discharging one Of
the clerks in the employ of the ma
tional society.

To Try Oregon Land Cases.

Portland. Ore, April 18.-The
suits brought by the government
against the G. A. Smith Timber COM
pany of Minneapolis to recover title
to Oregon timber lands are to be
tried at the session of the federal
court which met today. The suits,
which have been pending several
years, involve approximately 5000
acres Of land, estimated to be worth
100000. The basis of the govern
ment's contention is that the parties
who sold the lands to the Minneapolis
company did not have good title.

Must Build to
BiSnnark First

Before there is any settlement
of the street railway matters now
the company will have to agree to
build that extension to Bismarck,
according to the temper of the
commissioners this morning. May
or Fawcett says he is satisfied the
company ought to build that line
and keep its many promises to
Bismarck people.
Since the commission learned
that the annexation case is in the
supreme court it is less inclined to
fix any limits to the boundaries
of the city as at present. II the
court should decide that the big
district was legally voted into the
city and at the same time should
decide that the settlement ordi-
nance compels five cent fare in
all the city limits then the city
would be in a position to enforce
five cent fare to Puyallup and
|Steilacoom, Spanaway, American
lake and all intervening sections.
The present activity of the COM
pany in trying to get a settlement
is probably due to a fear that this
may be the result of the action
in court.
