Democratic Platform.

cratic record in the state and ma.
ton, especially during the four
years just gone, the convention
in Raleigh adopted the following
significant planks as the main
stay of the platform for the next
four years:
1st. The development OF pub.
lie education has been the chief
pride of the Democratic party,
and nothing less than an educa.
ted citizenship must be the goal
OF our continued and untiring ef.
forts. Our public school term
has been increased to a point
much beyond the Constitutional
requirements, and we are build
lug school houses at the rate OF
one for every day that passes.
2nd.. The conservation ofpub-
lie health is now recognized as a
problem demanding .considera-
ton Of all enlightened govern
ments. We rejoice in the splen-
did progress made by our state
ia combating disease among our
people, in reducing our death
rate, in increasing the sum total
of health, happiness and eficien.
cy OF our citizens, and IN estab-
fishing a justiaable record OF
healthfulness as compared with
other states OF the Union. We
advocate a continuance and q
Strengthening of the humane
policy now in force in this state
for the protection OF the public
health, and the eradication OF
preventable diseases.
3rd. The construction and
maintenance OF improved public
roads is one of the greatest prob.
lens in the development OF our
state, and particularly in the
development of rural com'nuni.
ties. Four years ago there we're
only 5000 miles of modern roads
in the state. Today we have
Is, 900 miles Of such roads, and
every day sees the mileage ex-
tended. We pledge our party to
a policy OF sympathetic aid and
encouragement to road building
in this state.
4th. We must ever be mindful
OF the fact that the state derives
it's strength from it's toiling citi.
zens and it's rural communities,
and we pledge the party to con.
tinuance of the policy of encour.
aging the best development OF
t h e rural community. Under
democratic rule the conditions Of
country life in respect to schools
and roads have been vastly i'm
proved while by means OF the
State Department Of Agriculture,
the A. and NJ. College and Farm
Life schools intelligent and help.
full direction has been given to
our farmers, the result OF which
is manifest in the tremendous IN
crease in the variety and value Of
the farm products. It is q mat
ter of fact that the value Of our
farm products doubled from 1900
to 1910 and it has again doubled
in the last six years. We favor
legislation providing for the in
corporation, supervision an d
control of warehouses for the
storing OF farm products, in or
der to facilitate the proper mar
keting OF such products.
9Th. Every enterprise looking
to the investment OF capital and
employment OF labor should be
fostered and encouraged by the
state. We pledge, not only to
citizens OF this state, but to citi.
zens of other states, that all cap.
ital invested in legitimate enter.
prises in North Carolina, wheth.
er foreign or domestic, shall have
the equal and friendly protection
of our laws in their observance,

EXPERIENCE OF 4 NURSE IN
 USING RHEUMA
Had Been Unable to Lie Down or Take Long Breath Because of Rheumatism-Thrcc Doses Enabled Her to do Her Work.

'PlainVille, Conn.,, March f, 1916-- Your remedy was purchased by me at the Riker Pharmacy, New Britain, Conn, Feb. 29th, 1916. At that time 1 was unable to move or take a long breath without eXcrucating pain; the sore condition of the vertebrae and muscles made it impossible to lie down. I took the required dose of Rheuma upon going to bed, expecting to sit up all night, but by two o'clock was relieved so it was possible for me to lie down. After taking the second dose the following night, was so I could get around and after taking the third dose was able to get around the house make bread, get the meals etc.
 For ten years previous to four years ago my vocation was that of a nurse, but for the past four years my health would not permit of my fol- lowing it.
 Words are inadequate to express my appreciation of your valuable rem edy and of the relief obtained so quickly. Anyone wishing to write me is at liberty to do so, and I will gladly give them all the information de- sired."-Mrs. Mary Wadsworth, Nurse. 127 Broad street.
 If you are a sufferer from any form of rheumatism gout lumbago or neuritis, you should try Rheuma The Riker Pharmacy and all drug gists sell it and guarantee satis- faction or your money back.

Good Carriage

How well dressed that girl loolSs," l thought to myself the other day 6s l watched one of the clerks in a department store while I waited for my change.
 Or perhaps I should say I felt it in the sub-conscious, unanalytical way in which we first register such impressions. Afterwards I analyzed my impression, and what do you suppose 1 found the weu-dressed girl had on? A black silk. coat sweater, a simple white business blouse, plain tailored black skirt and trim black shoes-surely a very simple costume.
 Her Good Carriage Made Her Seem
 Smartly Dressed.
 Whence then my impression? I asked myself, that question and the answer was that she carried herself so well. with such 8 buoyant.- grace ful erectness, that she Jgave the ef- feet of style and smartness to that very simple costume.
 Just as one is deceived by the stunning figure, charming face and graceful attitude of the pretty lady in the fashion plates into thinking one admlres the gown she has on, so I had been deceived by her un- usual grace Of carriage into think ing it was this girls dress that I admired.
 What a big difference carriage does make in the appearance of both men and women.
 We were comparing the appear ence of two men the other day and someone said, "Of course John has the great advantage of. being the taller .s

 A business man who hires the salesmen for his firm once told me that a good carriage carried more weight with him than good looks.
 The foundations of a good car riage are laid in youth: it is easy then to. acquire the habit of standing gracefully erect (chest out and stomach in, style to the contrary) and the mother who Keeps att her children to stand well will win their ultimate gratitude even though they may be impatient at the time.
