ENGLISH CHURCH
UPHOLDS LIQUOR
Urges, However, That tpisco-
palians Observe Modera-'
ton In Drinking

Among its principal news OF warning
Europe, the New York Times prints
the ensuing article from London:
That the movement for the adoption
of practical prohibition during the war,
which has gained many advocates
since King George set the example oil
total abstinence, is likely to receive
little support from the Established
Church, is indicated by the action oil
the House of Laymen at the convoca
ton of the Archbishop OF Canterbury
held in London today.
T. G. Hughes moved resolution to
the effect that the national interests
required the cessation OF the use OF al
cohol for other than medicinal pur
poses. He urged, In behalf Of the reso
luton, that il would promote sobrietI
and thrift, which were greatly needed
and expressed regret that many O.
those TO whom the nation should looi
for a lead in the matter remainet
silent.
Athelstan Riley, a prolific writer oil
religious topics, opposed the resolu
ton. he said that drink reformers a
ways spoiled their case by going to-
far. Alcohol itself. he oontended. wa
not an evil. II was one OF the goo
creatures of God" II was excess In IL
use that constituted evil.
The resolution, in a much modifie
form, was adopted. II expressed mere
~ the wish for strict moderation an
self-denial in the use OF intoxicAtin
liquors.

Typhoid Has But One Source

"Decaving animal and vegeta
Bile matters IS not direct source
OF typhoid fever" says the state
board of health in answer to the
recent inquiry Can typhoid fe
yer be contracted from a dead
horse or decaying vegetables?''
In further explanation of the
source and means OF contracting
typhoid, the board has the follow
ing 10 say:
Typhoid fever has one and
only one source-the human in
testines of a typhoid patient or
carrier. No animal has typhoid.
In the human intestines the ty-
phoid bacilli grow and multiply
and are passed out in the excre-
tlons of the body. Human ex-
crement, therefore, is the direct
source of all typhoid. In nature
the bacilli live and thrive accord
ing to the amount of heat and
moisture they get, and cause ty.
phoid fever only by finding their
way back into the human body.
In other words, the germ caus-
ing typhoid fever must be either
eaten or drunk.
Flies are the chief spreader of
typoid. though finger and filth
play no small part in its spread.
10 control human excrement is
practically to control typhoid, or
TO exterminate flies and insist on
clean food and drink is to be
practically safe from typhoid,
but where none or only a few of
these things exist, the next best
safeguard is to be vaccinated

The Healthiest Man in Chester
field County

Rev. John w. Elkins, of Page
land, is the healthiest man in
Chesterfield county. This state
ment may be challenged, but the
man who does so must be a re-
markable man. Mr.. Elkins does
not tell his age, but he is on this
side OF forty" (you may guess
which sideD He has never had
headache nor a contagious di-
sease. In his life he has been
sick enough to go to bed but
tour times and on neither of
these occasions was the illness
at all serious. He drinks no
coffee, tea or other Stimulants.
He takes daily morning bath
winter and summer. and sleeps
with windows open all the year.
He does not know what a dull,
drowsy feeling is but is always
fresh and vigorous. II always
feel just like | look when you
see me on the streets" said he,
and those who know him will
agree that he always has tn bear
ing OF the healthiest and most
robust of men. His statement
that his health is perfect is, from
all appearances, absolutely the
truth.
Mr.. Elkins' father. Mr.. ]. A.
Elkins. of Columbia, is 7S years
old but doesn't know he IS more
than 80. He is the oldest Knight
OF Pythias in the State. He has
been superintendent of a Sunday
school in his city fifty years, lack
ing a few months. During this
time he has been absent but
twice, and each time there was
a corpse of a relative in his
home. He is a printer by trade,
and now has active manage
ment of the printing plant at the
Epworth Orphanage. In forty
years be has taken one small
bottle of liver medicine and IL
grains of quinine. He seems
now in the prime of life.

Stevenson Expected to Win Out
This Yeae

Mr.. w. F. Stevenson, candi.
date for congress, states that the
situation is well expressed by the
following, which is found in the
Columbia correspondence of the
Charlotte Observer"
"a terrific fight is being made
on Congressman D. E. Finley in
the fifth district by w. F. Steven
son of Chesterfield county. Mr..
Stevenson came within a few
votes two years ago of defeating
Mr.. Finley and reports from the
fifth indicate that he will be sue
cessful this time"
He is now only apprehensive
of eleventh hour stories and ru,
mors of combines. He asks his
friends not to credit any state
ments that may oe circulated, as
he has made no combines, prom
ised no offices or emoluments;
all issues have been openly
fought on the stump and charges
made at the last minute should
be disregarded.

A youth reared in the back
woods of Alabama had an ambi.
ton to be something more than
a farmer on a barren mountain,
so he worked his way through
college, coming out as a civil
engineer. His first job, after his
graduation, was for a railroad
building a branch line through
the hills moi far from the parent
al homestead.
When the contract was COM
pleted and the line had been
opened for travel, he brought
his aged father down out of the
ridges to see what had been
done. The old man had seen a
train once or twice in his life,
but he had never seen a tunnel.
He couldn't believe that it was
possible for men to bore through
the base of a mountain from side
to side. So the youth took him
to the mouth of a tunnel. For a
long time the old man contem.
platedthe marvel.
We'll. boy, you did do it, fur
a fact" said the old fellow; "but
iii bet you purity there amt no
train of steam-cyars kin git
through that there little hole"
Wait and see." said the youth.
There ought TO be train along
pretty soon now."
They waited. Presently with
a roar a train whizzed by and,
without abaling its speed, disap.
peared in the tunnel.
What do you think about it
now, Dad?' asked the son.
We'll. they done ii that time"
admitted the father, "but some
OF these days that there steam
lngine is goin' 10 miss that hole"

Brief

Brief
The Act provides for the GRE
alton of twelve Federal land
banks and permits the establish.
ment of any number of Joint
stock land banks for the pur-
pose of making loans at a rea-
sonable rate of interest, for the
long periods of time, on farm
lands.
A Farm Loan Board has CON-
plete control over these banks.
Twelve Federal land banks
are provided. one in each of
twelve districts into which the
country will be divided. These
banks are empowered to lend on
first mortgages on farm lands in
amounts of 500 to $4,000 for
approved purposes. The loans
are to be made through farm
loan associations and agents.
No loan may be made for more
than so per cent of the value of
the land mortgaged and 20 per
cent of the value of the perma-
nent insured Improvements up
on it.
National Farm Loan Associa
tions-local organizations COM
posed exclusively borrowers

tions must be stockholders in the
land banks in proportion to the
amount their members wish to
borrow. Eventully all stock in
the Federal land banks will be
owned exclusively by these as
sociations.
A reasonable interest rate is
established. The act prohibits
the Federal land banks from
charging more than 6 per cent
on any mortgage. or requiring
fees not approved by the Farm
Loan Board
The borrowers will share in
the net profits of the bank be-
cause they are stockholders. 1t

for by authorizing mortgages for
periods of from 5 up to 40 years.
Small annual or semi-annual
payments on the principal are
made a required feature of all
mortgages.

Austrians Lose Heavily; Srata.
gic Points Fall to Russians
And Italians

Petrograd, via London, Aug.
II Stanislau, an important rail
road center southeast of Lem
berg, Capital of Galicia, has been
occupied by Russian troops the
War office annouced today.
The troops of General Letch.
itzky captured Stanislau Thurs
day evening and pursued the
Austrians, who retreated in the
direction of Halich.
The Russians also have made
important successes in the Sc
reth region. They compelled
the Austro.G Germans to retire
from the fortified positions of
Gliadka and Voroblevsk and
have occupied the town of Mon
asterzyka.
The capture of Stanislau gives
the Russians another gateway
through which they can march
toward Lemberg. Like Brody,
Stanislau is an important rail
road center. Railroads radiate
from it in five directions. 1t is
81 miles Southeast of Lemberg
and is situated between two
forks of the Bystritza River, 10
miles South of the Dniester.
Stanislau was a manufacturing
city and agricultural center be.
fore the war and had a popula-
ton of $4,000.
Rome, via London, Aug. II.
The Italians have occupied the
entire Doberdo plateau, the War
Office announced today.
The Italians also have captur-
cd Rubbia and San Martino del
Carso. They have reached the
line of the Vallone River. The
Austrians have retired to the
East of the town of Vallone.
By their new victories the Ital-
ians appear to have taken an
important step toward clearing
the salient formed by the bend
OF the Isonzo below Gorilla.
The Doberdo plateau was the
scene of heavy fighting earlier
in the war but the Austrians OBJ
stinately withstood efforts of the
Italians to win this important
position. This fighting took
place on front some distance
below Gorilla, the capture of
which enabled the Italians to
push forward in the direction OF
