NORTH CAROLINA CONDITIONS.

Speaking of the conditions in North Carolina, MT. M. l.. Shipman, state commissioner of labor, says:
 Whisky distilleries have been dis placed with industrial plants and over the remains of the saloon have been erected splendid school buildings and magnificent church edifices. In Gas ton county alone 26 distilleries were in operation under former conditions. 1t now boasts of 47 textile plants. em- ploying more than 1000 people, and makes the further claim of having one of the finest systems of public schools in the state. This condition prevails generally throughout the com monwealth. Instead of spending their weekly earnings in saloons, and ire Quently in police stations. the wage earners of North Carolina are now providing an abundance of wholesome food and adequate clothing for their families"

WILL GET THEIR EYES OPENED.

When liquor is put out of America l believe it will be by the men who drink" says Hon. Seaborn Wright of Georgia. If they could realize how they are being deceived there would be ten thousand Boston tea parties today"
 Do you know" he continued" thxt it costs less than twenty cents to make one gallon of whisky? Then why is it that the man who drinks pays two or three dollars for an arti- cle which costs less than twenty cents 10 produce? 1 wonder how many men who drink stop to ask, Why do I pay twelve hundred per cent above the cost to produce it, twelve hundred per cent more than my father paid before the Civil war" The answer is simple The federal government has placed a revenue of one dollar and ten cents on each gallon of liquor. If it ended there then revenue of two billion dollars would be paid But the manu- facturer turns to his clerk and says. Add the cost of production to the price, Never on earth has the liquor trust paid one dollar to the federal government and it never will.

EFFECT OF A GLASS OF BEER.

It has been scientifically demonstra- ted by experiments made in the Swedish army that even small quan- tity of alcohol decreases the marks manship of the man behind the gun. Under Lieutenant Bengt Boy a squad of soldiers were put through test after having gone without beer for certain period of time. Out of a to- tai of 90 targets their average was 23 shots.
 Later these same soldiers were all lowed a glass of beer apiece one eve ming and another glass the following morning, and the average number of hits that afternoon was three. To check up this result which seemed out of reason, another test without beer was made some days later when these same soldiers averaged 26 hits

TAKES ISSUE WITH EDISON HAVE NO STANDING IN LA.I
Exponents of Spirit Mediumshp" Find Little Comfort in Appeal
 ing to Courts.

Subtle though the judicial mind may be, writes l.. Arthur Wilder in Case and Comment, it has no place for spirit mediumship. The Michigan SUI preme court once had occasion to con- sider the case of one who advertised himself as "a modern day seer" clair voyant trance medium" and "clairvoy ant physician thoroughly con- versant with the occult sciences" per hitting "a peep through the keyhole of the mysterious future" and offering advice with a strange certainty" on all business affairs and affairs of the heart, restoring lost affections, peace and confidence to lovers and discord- ant families" 'on a positive guar anty, locating lost, stolen and buried property and treasures and calling his business "psychometry or soul read ing or prognosticating. The court held that he was properly convicted of being a disorderly person and fur ther that no intent was involved since the offense itself was a misdemeanor, and either specific acts or advertise ment itself constituted the offense A like attitude is taken in New York, Delaware and England, and there is an impostor who claimed the power not merely to materialiZe a spirit but to photograph it.

Here is One Man Who Does Not Be- ieve the World Will Give
 Up Sleep.

MT. Edison says sleep is bad habit, and that we shall some day get over it. Like drinking and smoking, it is to be among those things which we shall try in time to give up on the first of the year. He says people called hlm crazy when he said electricity would supplant all other motive power in transportation, and one therefore hesi- tates to say that he is crazy about anything. However we will hazard guess that if he is off his box any where, it is with respect to the pleas ant custom of indulging ourselves in a good sound snooze. How else we are to refresh ourselves from the days work we cannot imagine. The trouble with this objection. as 1t applies to Mr. Edison, is that he doesn't think we are wearied by the days work He and some of his associates worked at something for a given period of time q hours a day, and they all gained weight. He leads us to infer that it is what we do when we are not working
 
 briefly, we believe there is something in that. Probably half the things we do in our leisure time is very hard work. The celebrated tired business man is only tired when his wife wants him to go out somewhere after din ner. It is the opera and the fox trot that wear him out. Still, think of giv- ing up sleep! If it is a habit, it is nice one. We have got some glimpses of what MT Edison means when we have tried to sleep in chair car, but given feather bed and soft pillow, we don't get him at all. Last night, for instance. Wasn't the habit deli cious last night?-St. Louis Post-Dis- patch

Why He Stopped the Train.

When a passenger train on the Big Four railroad. between Springfield and Bellefontaine, stopped at crossroad near West Liberty, O., because a Frightened horse had become en- tangled in a wire fence, the passen- gers could not understand the delay. Philip Hem, conductor, was asked by a passenger why he had stopped the train, inasmuch as the engine had not struck the rural mail wagon of Elbe Yoder of West Liberty, the owner of the horse. "The people of West Lib erty rescued me from the flood of March 25, 1913, and saved my life. When 1 see anyone from that town or vicinity in trouble I'll stop and help them out nc matter how fast my train is running. Indianapolis News.

NATURAL MEANS OF DEFENSE
Possibility That Another Generation of Fighters May Utilize Their
 WhiSkers.

Here is war comment from George w. Monroe, the comedian:
 The Russian army has one advan- tage over all other armies, and that is whiskers. It has an entanglement of whiskers that nothing can penetrate not even lyddite, shrapnel or slugs. A Russian soldiers whiskers are not the fiossy kind that toss around with every passing gale. They are so dura- ble that when he falls on them he does not even bend them; he drives them into the ground. The only time Rus turns the back of his head to the en- emy. The other armies may have the best tactics, armament, discipline spirit and patriotism, but the Russian army has the chilled-steel Whiskers.
 The most difficult job a Red Cross nurse has 10 perform, after the Rus sian army has finished an engage. ment, is to comb the bullets and shells out of the soldiers whiskers
 Fifty years from now, when the next great war is fought, it will not be a question of rapid-tiring, long-range guns; it will be a question of whis- kers. The world will ask which army has the best Whiskers. Whiskers will decide the battle. Nations will no longer waste money in buying big guns and testing them. They will grow whiskers for national defense and they will test an army's efficiency by drawing up a company on the parade grounds md allowing a husky coal beaver to go down the line and hit each soldier in the face with an aX. Whiskers that won't make the aX bounce will be sent to the rear as un- lit for the firing line

SENTIMENT AGAINST LIQUOR.

In England, as in other warning countries, there is a very rapidly grow ing sentiment against the drink traf- fic. Mrs. Parker, sister of Earl Kitch- ener, declares that between 30 and 40 per cent of the new soldiers are being rendered inefficient through drink and attendant evils, and she states that the prime minister admits the per cent to be from 10 to 15. Mrs. Park CT says, Russia has done away with intoXicants. Why not Britain?"

Practical Trade School Idea.

London has elaborated the trade fitting women with an equipment to face lifes struggle. In the six trade schools of London. four of which are under the direct control of the London connected with the polytechnic insti- tutions. aided by grants from the Lon- don county council, various trades of the traditional feminist classes, such as dressmaking, ladies tailoring, cor set making, millinery, embroidery. waistcoat making, cooking, laundry work and upholstery, are being taught. In addition to competent teachers these schools have enlisted in their interest advisory committees of em- ployees of the classes of workwomen being developed by the schools, one result of which is that employment at profitable wages awaits the capable students of these schools. The Voca- tional school idea is spreading and ex- tending through the civilized world. with the result that 1t brightens the prospects of youth and heartens young people. with the knowledge that they will enter upon their career with some technical acquaintance with and some manual deXterity in those lines of work in which the world stands con- stantly in need of workers.

OUT OF A JOB.

The cry is sometimes made that if saloons are voted out saloonkeepers will lose their jobs and their families will suffer. Did it ever occur to you pertinently asks an exchange, that if the saloons are not voted out, hun dreds of the patrons of the saloons will lose their jobs and their families will suffer?
 When saloonkeeper puts a man out of a job, he disgraces the man and his family, and units him for an other job When prohibition puts a saloonkeeper out of a job, he be- comes more honorable citizen. his family becomes more honorable and the community secures wealth-pro- ducing workman instead of a wealth. destroying workman.
