It is variously estimated that
from fifty to ninety percent of
the people we meet are poisoning
themselves to a greater or less
extent almost every day. Consti-
patton is probably the most
general method Of self-poisoning
with which civilized man affiicts
himself.
Unfortunately there are no
neutrality-suspicious. for deal
ing with this trouble. Of course
there are laxatives, cathartics,
salts, mineralwaters, oils, enemas
and pills to no end. Enough Of
such things are consumed in our
own States annually if they were
Of any value to eradicate the
ailment. As a rule, unless taken
under a physicians directions,
such things usually make bad
matters worse.
The cure of constipation is
usually q matter which depends
almost entirely upon the patients
will power, backbone and de-
termination. to properly regulate
his daily habits particularly with
regard to diet and exercise.
Briefly, constipation may be
replaced with one or two regular
free and easy bowel movements
by observing the following sug-
gestions. Drink from one to three
glasses of water Immediately up.
on rising each morning. Select a
diet consisting largely of prunes,
figs, green's" all kinds of gar
den vegetables, whole wheat,
bran, oils and fats. Bran is an
excellent laxative, bulky material
which is now frequently used as
a breakfast cereal with good re-
suits. Avoid rice, boiled milk,
fine white flour breads, biscuits
and pastries, eggs and meats.
Chew the food thoroughly, drink
from four to six glasses Of water
between meals or even much
more in warm weather.
Exercises in the open air,
particularly those which bend
and twist the abdomen are help
full. Finally, regular efforts at q
certain hour each day to secure
bowel action whether the desire
is feltor not is imperative. When
faithful persistence does not
accomplish the desired result, q
doctor should be consulted.

new COURSE ADDED TO The CUR.
RlCULUM OF The LOCAL SCHOOLS
Vocational Education in the Textile
Industry

government has been contribut
ing funds for bettering the con
ditions of the farm workers anC
to teach them how to be better
farmers. Until recently nothing
has been done for the industrial
workers. The Smith Hughes bill
passed at a recent session o1
Congress provided the means fol-
J helping the industrial workers.
North Carolina has qualified to
receive help under this act and
Roanoke Rapids together with
her neighboring town of Weldon
is the first place in the state to
institute these classes for Cotton
Mill Operatives. The Smith
Hughes bill provides money for
trade schools where the state OF
local authorities will provide an
equal amount. Through the activ-
tiles of Supt. A. M. Proctor and
the assistance Of Supt. A. E.
Akers, Halifax County has Sc
cured the first of these schools.
Classes have already begun
work under the instruction of
Mr.. W. S. Dean, who was pre-
viously with the Bureau of
Markets, Washington, D. c. Mr..
Dean comes to this state to take
charge and organize the work
here and elsewhere. He is a
graduate Of N. G. State College,
class 1909, and has had consider
able experience in cotton manu-
facture. He was for one year
teacher in the Textile Depart
ment of the Mississippi "A. & M.
College and recently has been
doing work for the government.
His cotton grading and cotton
testing work with the govern
ment has brought him in actual
touch with the operation of many
of the best mills in the country.
Mr.. Dean is we'll fitted for this
work and at the same time will
have the active cooperation of
the textile department of the
State College.
Mr.. Dean will be here until the
close of school in May and will
continue these courses. The
courses are so arranged that any
person over IA years Of age, boy
or girl, man or woman, may take
up the study of the art of cotton
manufacturing. Special attention
will be given to practical prob
lens relative to the operation of
machines and their adjustment
for the production Of better work.
Classes are now being held in
the Central School Building on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday
nights. These classes are open to
any mill operative who is IA years
old or over.
This is an opportunity placed
before the operatives such as has
not been given to them before.
The work is endorsed by the
managers and superintendents Of
the mills and gives to the ambi-
tious individual a chance to i'm
prove his condition.
At the end of three months
Mr.. Dean will go elsewhere in
the state to organize the work
in another section. 1t is hoped by
that time that the work here will
be so we'll established and such
an interest manifested that it
can be made a permanent part
of our school system under the
direction of a man who will give
his entire time-to this locality.
