"Thanks-Living Service"

The public are cordially invited
to attend the Thanksgiving service
this Thursday in the Presbyterian
church at ll:OO A. NJ. Suppose we
all turn out and make it not only an
hour of praise and Thanksgiving,
but one of prayer and supplication
for our country and for the preserv-
alton of our homes. This would be
much more profitable than stutfing
ones self and spending the entire
day wastefully. Our President has
asked, or suggested, that it be a day
of fasting and prayer.
We will have a collection for the
Orphanage, but any person deslr-
ING to contribute to their Own Or

ton in an envelope and designate
the name of denomination or lnsll-

Y. w. c. A. Conference at
Baptist Church.

The Young Woman's Christian
Association Conference which was
called for Saturday at the Baptist
church by Mrs. w. j. Hatcher,
chairman for Edge6eld county, was
very enthusiastically attended by
representative women from all parts
of our county, coming at the call of
their country to learn what may be
a channel of activity for their will
ing service.
The Conference opened with an
organ solo by Mrs. John r. Tomp-
kins who is always 50 gracious and
accommodating in giving her talent
on any needed occasion.
Mrs. w. B. Cogburn, acting
president of the Baptist Mission
Society, presided over the days
meeting.
The devotions were conducted by
Mrs. 7. H. Rainsford, special stress
being laid on "love in aclion', the
scripture being John 81.
A cordial welcome was given the
visitors by Mrs. Cogburn, whom all
our women throughout the town and
and county, know and love.
Miss Miriam Norris sang an ap.
r:opriate and beautiful SELECTION in
her appealing voice.
The programme of Y. w. G. A.
activities was then begun, the sub

women from the QlHereuC sec1iCho
of our county who were present and
will carry the message to thelI own
communities and collect. for Ahls
work.
Meeting Street, Colliers. Trenton,
Johnston, Philippi, Republican and
Hardys were represented at the
meeting.
The closing message was from
Gods word, read By Mrs. A. b.
Broadwater. and an earDest prayer
for guidance in this great work OF
saving our girls, The Second Llae
Of Defense.
The government and President
Wilson put the matter before
number of women's organizations,
asking each if they had any plaDs as
to the solution of providing for
women who wished to see their
soldiers at the camps?
1t was the Young Women's Chris.
tian Association that had the plan,
and with the sanction and CO.
operation of the government, as with
the Y. M. G. A., they are raising
funds with which to build and equip
Hostess Houses at the camps every
where.
1t was said that in the beginning
of the war that. the English soldiers
became homesick and discouraged
because no opportunity for contact
with the loved ones in the home was
permitted them, and this has been
one of the lessons which the British
learned by sad experience, and
which the American government
has profted by.
Our boys will be gone soon
enough. Let us do all we can to
make their last days in America as
happy as we can.
At the close of the morning ses-
sion, light lunch was served the
visitors who came in TO attend the
meeting.

A Plea Against the Use of To.
bacco in the Army.

In regard to the smoking fund"
for our soldiers in France, will you
permit me to call attention to the
attitude of West Point and Annap-
oils toward tobacco. These two
government schools prohibit its use
entirely. A recent report says:
Hundreds of boys apply for ad-
mission to the naval academy and
one-ffth of all who are examined
are rejected on account of heart
disease, which the surgeons say is
caused by smoking cigarettes. Dr.
A. E. ellison, of the U. S. Navy
gives the following testimony as TO
the effects Of smoking upon the stu
dent:
lst. It leads to impaired nutri-
tion Of the nerve centers.
"2nd. 1t is fertile cause of neu.
ralgia, vertigo and indigestion.
''3rd. 1t irritates the mouth and
throat and thus destroys the purity
of the voice,
"4th. BY excitation of the optic
nerves it provokes amaurosis and
other defects of vision.
5th. 1t causea a tremulous
hand and an intermittent pulse.
9th. One of its CONSPICUOUS ef-
fects is to develop irritability of the
heart.
'7lh. 1t retards the cell change
upon which the development of the
adolescent depends" ;"
The annual report for 1913 of
the British Anti,Tobacco and Anti
Narcotic League contains the fol-
lowing. which is of special interest
lust now when the eyes of the
world are upon the European war:
1T will be remembered that when
the Boer war broke out II ,UOO vol
unteered for services in Manchester
district alone; 5000 were at once re-
iected as physically unfit, and only
1900 finally passed the doctors.
The chief cause of unfitness was
proved to be smoking bv boys and
young men,"
From that time special attention
has been given to this subject, and
now in all the eight commands of
the British army the general officers
are imposing more or less stringent
regulations by means of local or
ders to check the habit of cigarette
smoking among the troops. Sur
geon-General Sir w. l.. Gubblns,
and Director. r.General Sir Alfred
Keogh before him In their annual
report in the health Of the home
army, have established the impor-
tance of taking steps to reduce ciga-
rette smoking by soldiers-Chronl'
