bookkeeping got another bump and
the liquor traffic generally received n
setback in the Interpretation of the
Reed bone dry" federal law, announc-
Ell by the department of justice.
AS the matter stands. the transnor-
tation OF alcoholic beverages by anv
means whatever into n state where
they are not allowed to be sold is
completely prohibited. Not even the
personally conducted quart" or the
pocket flask which in other davs
formed part of the standard eouin-
mcnt of travellers is allowed under the
new arrangement.
That the state law. as in Virginia
expressly permits the importation of
strictly limited quantity of spirits
each month for personal use cuts no
ilgure with the Reed law. Alcohol
&c fluids are barred, except for the
-FOUR purposes enumerated in the fed
eral law-scientific, sacramentai. me-

state law sets forth processes nv

THE TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITAL
AGAIN.

Sometime ago the statement was
made IN this paper that the plan pro-
posed to erect cheap but suitable
building on the county farm for the
care and treatment of consumptivcs
had the approval of the board of SUI
pervisors Of the county, and that the
board had expressed Willingness to
make an appropriation towards the
expense of erecting the building. A
representative of this paper asked
Chairman Daniels about it again on
Tuesday, and he now says that the
Board has no fund which legally be
appropriated to such an object; that
before such an appropriation can be
made, the question must be submitted
to a vote of the county. The chair
man is correct, provided a sanitorium
for the general admission of patients
the same as at Catawba, where pa
tients are received from any part of
the county, rich and poor alike, but
the chairman is mistaken, so far as
providing for the INDECENT patients of
the county. The board has the same
right, and under like. obligation, to
provide for consumptives that it has
to provide nurses and medical treat
ment for smallpox patients in the
county, or to send patients to hospit-
ais for surgical operations, which is
sometimes done. The same law which
gives the Board these rights and i'm
poses these duties, gives the right
and imposes the duty, to take care of
tuberculosis patients and if it APP
pears to the board that a suitable
building should be erected at the
county farm for this purpose, the
Board has clearly, under the law, the
right to make an appropriation for
the same. Whether or not the Board
considers it its duty to do so is for
the Board to say. tuberculosis, as
everybody knows, is a preventable
and durable disease under the proper
conditions. But, under present condi-
tions, the scourge continues to take
toll-heavy toll, of our people, in
creasing the possible number of pau
pers, and no steps taken to prevent
it's spread

all men in history, by reason of. his
hts of anger, his whims and his cal

even go back to the time of Julius
Caesar, who found those people hold
ing war as their moral life before the
beginning of our present era. Some
say. that even the word German is
derived from word meaning war:

a word signifying shout, because
the ancient Germans went shouting

REWRITING TO TYPE.
(Communicated.)


In the long process of the ciViliZa-
ton of the peoples of the earth there
have been but few reversionS to the
Cave Man since the dark ages. When
the light of intelligence having been
eXtinguishcd in Greece and Rome and
all Europe and near Asia was wrapt
in gloom and Goth and Vandali over
ran the sacked cities and ruined
monuments in "thc long night of the
world
The era of the rebirth of civiliza-
ton found the descendants of these
predatory people established in what
is now the German empire, ana these
were bruised and beaten into human
shape by the great Frederick and his
grandson, each of whom had the hope
that he could mold the hybrid and
mongrel breed into world citizens,
and up to the Franco German war
this ambition seemed in the way to
be realized But, as the tanned wolf
reverts to its original feroci.y with
the smell of blood, so the present
Kaiser, accomplished in the all the
graces of civilization, had the blood
lust, latent in his Vandall soul arous-
ed by the easy conquest of France
through the corruption of her gener-
ais and his ambition, stirred by the
acquisition of Alsace and Lorraine
and reverted to type-to the ferocity
of the Hun and the schcming cupidity
of the Vandal. His people, too, had
never but veneer of civilization. AT
least they were Goths and Vandals
still, and while apparently pursuing
the tasks of citizenship, with the pa
tient ferocity of the tiger, which
waits for hours crouched to spring,
they have been waiting for the day,
and the day will soon be over. S

THE UNSELFISH MOTHERS

.(By DR.. James d. Huphe.

(By DR.. James d. Hughes.)
God gave my son i'm trust to me;
Christ died for him, and he should be
A man for Christ. He is his own,
And Gods and mans; not mine alone.
He was not mine to "give" He gave

All that Christian should revere,
All that enlightened men hold dear.
"To feed the guns!" Oh, torpid soul!
Awake and see life as a whole.
When freedom, honor, justice, right,
Were threatened by the despot's might
With heart afiamc and soul alight,
He bravcly went for God to fight
Against base savagcs whose pride
The laws of God and man defied;
Who slew the mother and her child,
Who maidens pure and sweet defiled.
He did not go "to feed the guns"
