A registration was held last
Saturday, Aug. oath, of all men
who had become 81 since June 5,
1918. AZ registered, of which
number 20 are white and Is
colored. Two of the young men

registered: Albert w. Perry, of
Hamlet, white, and Will Nc
Sween, Jr., colored, of Mangum.

Effect of Diet on Disease.

The influence of diet in causing dis
ease has been brought to notice by re-
cent investigations on scurvy, beriberi,
and pellagra. DIR. William Salant, at
the late meeting Of the American Med
ical association, pointed out that ac-
cumulating evidence tends to. show al
so. that the kind of food used by men
and animals may be an important ele-
ment in determining the action of we'll
known poisons, and that the right diet
may have much value in ensuring the
right action of drugs. Feeding ear
rots to rabbits seemed to protect the
kidneys from metallic irritants that
greatly affected rabbits fed with oats.

Prohibition State Convention.

At their state convention in Odd
Fellows Hall, Baltimore, on Friday
the Maryland Prohibitionists turned
down suggestion that they amalga-
mate with the New Nationals. If
acted upon, this amalgamation would
practically wipe out the Prohibition
party as political entity.
Besides naming a committee to
choose delegates to the national con-
vention in Chicago on March 5, the
"drys" unanimously voted to remain
an Independent political factor. This
was done to preserve the concentra-
ton of their efforts in case the feder-
al amendment is thrown out by the
Supreme Court.
Charles R. Woods, state chairman
presided at the meeting. Mr.. Woods
and George A. Gorsuch, national
committeeman from Maryland, were
named as a committee to select 10
men as representatives to the Chica-
go convention. They were instruct
ed to utilize every possible means te
Illustrate any attempts at the con-
'vention to bring about an anaiga
nation, and in event that such a
thing we're forced on them, to COM
municate to the convention the if1s
tention of the Maryland Prohibition
ists to keep the National Prohibition
party alive.

wants. DOhFuS 10 hcnuOr ACCOUNTS.
An order introduced Tuesday eve
ming in the State Senate by Senator
Crothers directs the state comptrol-
Ter, treasurer, board of parole, land
commissioner, motion picture CEN
sors, board of labor and statistics,
state bank commissioner, commits
sioner of motor vehicles, insurance
commissioner, state auditor, state
librarian, state tax commission. pub
lie service commission, conservation
commission, board of prison control
and the state industrial commission
to furnish the Senate within five
days the names and residences of all
employees receiving salaries, together
with an itemized statement Of salary
of each employee. An itemized ac-
count of all costs and expenses of
conducting each board is also de-
manded. All information is to be
given under oath.
After the reading of the order
Senator Crothers explained that the
Senate would shortly be called upon
to make appropriations for the vari-
GUS boards, and very little could be
learned from the bill Incorporating
the same. He said the expenses of
the state were continually mount
ing, having advanced 38 per cent,
or one-third more than in the past
year, and in three years the rate
would be twice as large as now.
Hence it would be well to ascertain
how the expenses could be reduced.

SAYS WOMEN MUST WORK ON
THE FARM.
Only Solution To Food Problem,
Declares DIR. Taylor At
Hopkins Exercises.

That the only solution to Ameri-
ica's food problem is for the women
to turn to farm labor as have the
women of England and France was
the statement made by Prof. Alonzo
e. Taylor Of the University OF Penn
sylvania, now connected with the
United States Food Administration.
DR.. Taylor spoke Washington's
Birthday at the exercises commemor-
ating the forty-second anniversary of
the founding Of Johns Hopkins
University, Baltimore.
"As soon as the women of the
United States realize the seriousness
of this war they will turn to this
work. The women in England had
little farm experience prior to the
war, but they have made a success
on the FARMS" said DIR. Taylor.
Dr. Taylor had dealt with the
prospective supply Of food for the
coming year and had suggested that
soldiers be sent to the farms from
the cantoments to help in planting
and harvesting. He said that of the
S4,OO0,000 women in the country,
only 100000 were engaged in agri-
cultural work.
America today" said the Penn
sylvania professor, sis facing a stu
alton the like of which has never
been experienced in the history of
the world America must feed the
Allied armies on the. battle front"
At present, he added, America is
in the throes of labor unrest, as we'll
as a shortage Of seeds and farm I'M
plements. Nitrates and fertilizers
also have the work outlined for
them, he said.
Then, in an interesting manner,
Professor Taylor outlined conditions
in the United States. He said the
shortage of seeds was due to the
labor shortage, the seed plants being
allowed to rot in the ground before
help could be obtained to harvest
them.

While Maryland has made good

About Constipation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese,
tea and boiled milk. On the other
hand raw fruits, especially apples
and bananas, also graham bread and
whole wheat bread promote a move
ment of the bowels. When the
bowels are badly constipated. how
ever, the sure way. is to take one or
two of Chamberlain's Tablets imme-
diately after supper.

HOTELS CUT
 RATES ARMY

More than sixty of New York's large hotels have agreed to place rooms at the disposal of officers of the army and navy at half the ordinary rates. Their action is the result of a ten-day canvass conducted by the New York War Camp Community Service, the officials of which found that many of the officers on leave in this city were having difficulty in obtaining accom- modations at reasonable rates.
 By the agreement entered into by the hotels they will give 50 per cent. reduction on 1 per cent. of their room capacity on five days of the week, from Monday to Friday inclu- sive, and on Saturday and Sunday will allow the same reduction on per cent. of the capacity. This arrange ment provides 250 rooms for each of the five days and 800 for Saturday and Sunday. Officers wishing to take advantage of this reduction in rates can get information concerning the hotel at which they wish to stop by calling Murray Hill 44S2.
 In addition to this the New York War Camp Community Service has more than 2,0O0 beds available for enlisted men, the usual rate being 25 cents a night with an added charge of from ten to thirty cents for break fast

Anti-ZiOnis1n
 Is Dying Out

A striking, if unwilling, tribute to the progress of Zionism in America is contained in the valedictory of the Jewish Comment, a weekly journal, whose Board of Editors, consisting of eight leading Reform Rabbis conduct ed a campaign against zionism until the paper was compelled to suspend because of the unpopularity of it's at titude.
 When the Zionist movement was first agitated leading Reform Jews scarcely designed to notice it." says the Comment. "Even when it began to appear as a definite reaction against Reform these leaders, feeling entirely secure, were content merely to give it passing glance, thinking that on- ly to withhold from it their approval would put a quietus on it. Now the reaction has developed into propor- tions that hvae shaken the aplomp of the most self-satisfied Reform lead CTS. The movement which they first held in contempt and then affected to despise has grown into a great inter national issue, overshadOwing every thing else in Jewish life and thought. Brilliant Jewish minds all over the world have given it character, world renowned statesmen have imparted to it force, great world war has ere ated for 1t an appeal that strikes the universal imagination. It has dwarf ed the Reform cause into relative in- significance, and Reform leadership in American Jewish life is thing of the past"

FOCH SUCCESS
 DUE TO UNITY

Washington, Aug. 1O-The swiftness and decision of Marshal Foch's power gull blows against the Germans are due in large measure to the unity of command on the western front which President Wilson first urged at the international conference ill France last year.
 It has become clearer and clearer to General Staff officers here that this feature of allied and American stra tegy has greatly strengthened the forces now battling victoriously against the German war machine, and has proved particularly advantageous in the present offensive fighting.
 AS to whether the allied and American forces could have hoped to attain the success they are now hav- ing without unity of command, Sec retary Baker declined to theorize, on the ground that he was averse to discussing a condition which did not exist
