Health in Extreme Cold.

Sir Ernest Shackleton affirms
that during all the months spent
in the extreme cold of the ant
arctic not one of his company
suffered from a cold. No sooner,
however, did their vessel reach a
warmer latitude than every man
on board was smitten with cat
arrh. And "cold snaps" are
even more costly in England
than in the United States. To
builders, plasterers and many
carpenters and joiners frost or
snow means temporary unimpCoy-
ment. Shipbuilding, too, cannot
be carried on at low tempera-
etures, and when the mercury
drops to freezing point all the
yards are idle. All waterside Ia
borers suffer by severe cold, and
fishermen about the coasts affirm
that frost drives the fish into
deep water. 1t has been calcu-
lated, indeed, that a days con-
tinued frost or snow in that coun-
try means a million men idle and
a loss of wages which affects the
whole trading and laboring COM
munity.

Boy Character.

1t is the greatest delusion in
the world for a boy to get the
idea that his life is of no conse-
quence and that the character of
it will not be noticed, A manly,
truthful boy will shine like a
star in any community. A boy
may possess as much of noble
character as a man. He may so
speak and so live the truth that
there will be no discount Oh his
word, and there are such noble,
Christian boys, and wider and
deeper than they apt to think is
their influence. They are the
king boys among their fellows,
having an immense influence for
good, and beloved and respected
because of the simple fact of liv-
ing the truth. Now, dear boys,
do be truthful, keep your word
as absolutely sacred and ever be
remindful of tn e scriptures
teachings, such as: thou shalt
not lie," neither shalt thou
swear falsely against thy neigh
bor."
Keep your appointments at the
house of God.
Be known for your fidelity to
the interests of the church and
Sunday School. Be true to
every friendship. Help others
to be and do good.
Respectfully,

A Historical Church.

Mt. Gilead Christian church,
which keeps all of its old-fash-
Toned simplicity, and visitors who
come in and out can't keep their
minds from wandering back into
the past and thinking of the
struggle of its early days, for it
lived through "wartimes."
There are only few left who
can tell you of these times, but
they enjoy talking of the days
when the very "best" of the ad-
joining counties attended SER

Obituary..

On the night of April the LIST,
1914, at the midnight hour, the
death angel came to the home of
Mrs. Montra Rosenbaum, and
claimed for its own their only
daughter, Ella.
She had been an invalid from
early childhood, but about ten or
eleven days before her death, she
was stricken with pneumonia,
and her dear little frail body was
not strong enough to endure the
ravages of that dread disease,
and God relieved her of her
suffering by taking her to him to
dwell in that beautiful land
where her dear father, whom
she loved so we'll, was waiting to
welcome her. But O! how moth
er, brother and the one who has
been as kind and loving sister
to her for so many years. will
miss her! Always when they
came in from some household du-
ty, or when brother came in from
work, dear little Ella was pa
tiently waiting, and how they
loved to smooth her hair, re-
arrange her pillows, or do some
thing to make Ella more co2nfor-
table.
But to the ones who loved her
so, we will say; look to the One
Who soothes all aching hearts,
and he will help you to bear this
grief. Ella has gone to that bet
ter land where sickness and sor-
row nor death ever come, and
We'll never again say goodbye.
Ella Rosenbaum was was born

thirty-five years four months and
eight days old when she peace.

The Regional Rank.

1t is difficult to believe the fore
cast from Washington concern
ing the location of the Regional
Banks, and more difficult to ac-
cept the territorial divisions as
outlined.
Difficult to believe because
these forecasts indicate too great
a Difference to personal demands
and far too little to existing bus
mess relations and activities.
1t appears that the interior
cities are treated as mere pawns
on the financial chessboard. In
order to serve Richmond or At
lanta, the interior basin from the
Alleghanies to the Mississippi,
from the Ohio to the Gulf, is de-
MED such a bank, and this COM
pact and inter-related section is
to be dismembered, cut up as
signed arbitrarily and most re-
morsely to other districts in Or
Ger to establish a mathematical
equilibrium to justify the selec-
ton of another coast city.
Louisville has no relation of
the slightest consequence with
Cleveland. As to St. Louis, it is
both unwise and unjust to tack
Louisville onto that city. Chicago
is the natural center for Louis
Vile if the proposition to decen-
tralize capital and credit is to be
abandoned, as appears to be the
case from today's forecast.
The undetermined question to-
day is whether Senator Hoke
Smith, or the Controller of the
Currency, Mr.. Skeleton Williams,
is to be recognized by the selec-
ton of their home town. On
no other supposition, geographic
cal, financial, commercial, or in
dustrial, would it be considered
possible to add Richmond to the
list of favored coast cities, or
put aside New Orleans, Memphis
and Louisville as an interior
capital, to make way for Atlanta.
The objection to the whole
scheme as outlined is that it is
unnecessarily disturbing, reVOlu-
tionary, if you please. The bill as
it stands, under the best inter-
probation, contains enough new
devices, experiments of doubt
full effect, and arbitrary require
ments, necessarily costly; in its
application it should permit COM
merce to follow the lines of least
resistance, instead of forcing it
into new and unnatural channel.

A nationwide shoemakng contest just brought to a close by the awarding of two army contracts the win ners, hundred forty pairs the perfect surplus of military foogear manufactured according to the board of army experts who passed upon them
 Next to the quality of the gun he carries" said one of these army experts more depends upon the condition of the shoe he wears than upon any other factor that goes toward the makeup of an effective soldier"
 As result of this feeling. the United States army quartermasters have evolved shoe which they say, makes the American fighting man the best shod soldier in the world.
 It took year of continual and careful expert ment before satisfactory results were reached Count less photographs made; the position of the bones of the were noted and the anatomy before during and after marches were studied and compared All this time different models were tried and theories were worked Finally the type of shoe was evolved with its straight line the big toe side its snug in- step and chance for toes to lie as freely and nat irally as in mocoasin.
 When the theory of scientifically covering the foot had been established to the satisfaction of the army experts various manufacturers placed their plants at the armys disposal in the hope they would be re- warded with the valuable contracts to supply the six thousand pairs worn bout in years marching ior Uncle Sam
 But the quartermaster crop did not limit itself to single firm They worked a spsem of having each firm submit sample of what could do Two pairs og shoes were offered by each bidder showing the man ufacturers ability to meet specifications
 The two hundred and forty prize pairs of shoes were the result and out of these are heinz electad tbe standard for the army's future footgear

 This is an admirable innovation The work naturally appeals to boyish maginaton it is picturesque public service rather than drudgery and satisfies the iu- venile instinct for climbing trees It is in line with the best purposes of the boy scout movement. which are humanitarian and utnitarian rather than artillery
 It is an earnest perhaps of the service to be rem derod society by the standing armies of the distant future, when will be trained for service instead of slaughter and military campaigns will be directed only against the destructive forces of nature

OUR osLERlzED NAVY

lt is gratifying to learn that congress is planning to change the "pucdng board' system which resulted recently in the compulsory retirement of fifteen naval officers most of them in the prime of life and good for years of efficient service.
 The storm of criticism aroused has been concerned chiefly with Capt Gibbons commander of the Battle This officer is fftone years old has served for forty years has ably filled the difficult though unornamenal position of superintendent of the naval academy An napois has been in nearly all the fights, cruises in vasions and pacfcations that have occurred during his time has seen as much sea service as his supe riors permitted though not as much he wanted In nearly every instance he has shown marked efficiency The closing act of his bring the Utah up the Atlantic coast pea soup fob, with the compass of order remaining on the bridge for twentyfour hours in succession, and then taking his ship up the bay and docking her at the Brooklyn navy yard without a pilot
 Capt Gibbons case is merely the most conspicuous Among the fifteen officers just forced into retirement there several examples of loss the nation and also of apparent personal injustice that almost lament able
 It is charged that the board has been actuated in some cases by personal prejudice any if such men as Capt Gibbons are dead wood the survivors must be world-beaters of efficiency.
 The practice of retiring fixed number of men every year worked well for while but the time has for a change We want no Doctor Oser" automatic regula tons in the navy When officers plucked" want the weedngout process be conducted with precision and justice commensurate with the importance honor of our sea forces.
