Take Examinations Anywhere.

The United States Civil Service
commission announces that on March
27, 1918, the President approved a
joint resolution of Congress suspend
ing, during the period Of the present
war, the operation of the provision of
law which required applicants for
civil service examinations to be ex-
amined in the State or territory in
which they reside. During the period
of the war, therefore, applicants for
any examination held by Che commits
sion may be examined at any place
at which the examination is held, re-
gardless Of their place of residence.
An act of July 2, 1909, required ex-
aminations to be taken in the State of
residence. While this provision is
suspended for--the period of the war
it is still required that only those who
have been actually domiciled in the
State or territory in which they re-
side for at least one year previous to
the examination may become eligible
for permanent appointment to the ap-
portioned department service in Wash
ington, D. C.

7 FOOD CoNsERvA-
TON HEALTHFUL
No Danger From Pellagra if We Save
Wheat.

In discussing food conservation and
its relation to health DR.. Edward j.
Wood of Wilmington, member Of the
State Board Of Health, has Just given
out the following interview:
AS a member of the North Caro-
lima State Board of Health especially
interested in food problems allow me
to state that this great aid to our Al
lies can be done without the slightest
handicap to perfect health and with
out increasing the cost OF l:lns. !,
"Let us eat no more meat while
the war lasts. We have corn, ar ideal
cereal food which will not bear ship
ping abroad near so well as will
wheat. Apart from this our Allies
cannot use our corn because they are
not accustomed to it and corn will not
rise with yeast as they would wish
We can eat corn supplemented with
many other things. 1t has been prov
en- that while wheat is the best cereal
for human consumption, it is not .es-
sential and corn stands next in order
We would probably be much the bet
ter for the change.
1'Those things which can be added
to a corn diet are soy bean flour
peanut flour, and rye flour. Rice can
be incorporated in wheat bread in
such a way that even twenty per cent
of it cannot be detected. This can be
utilized in many ways when we re-
strict ourselves to strict corn diet.
"In North Carolina a diet of corn
Irish potatoes, sweet potatoes, green
vegetables boiled and raw, fruit dried
or raw or otherwise preserved, butter
milk or butter milk when possible
cheese, fish, game, oysters and clans
beef and mutton very occasionally
and little pork would not allow OF
any additions. Indeed, only a small
portion of these articles can be re.
garded as essential. Corn bread, but.
ter, cabbage or collards or spinach
with a little meat twice a week OF
with milk or butter-milk once a day
would prevent pellagra or any Other
Of the deficiency conditions. Such &
diet would be far superior to what is
usually consumed by the working
classes now.
"If our people will do without the
use of soda in cooking and use a.
little baking powder as possible an,
get away from the frying habit
health would greatly improve.
Eve may conclude, then, that whea
should be regarded as a luxury ant
not as an essential, that we can vel
do without it, that denial of it t.
ourselves will not hurt us, that thi
sacrifice will be the greatest thing WI
could do as individuals and as a grea
patriotic state.
"Let our slogan be If eating whea
eat no more wheat until the wa
ends.'"

RUSSIA NEVER REAL NATION
Pessimistic MuscoVite Explains the
True Situation in the Former
Empire of the Car.

"We're a nation of artists and saw
ages. You can reach us through our
feelings-give us a poem, play n
picture, and we can initiate 1t, or even
improve on 1t. You send us cannon
He raised both arms helplessly and
dropped them.
"You thought Russia was a huge
country. That was n fiction built up
by the old regime, which meanwhile
intrigued with Germany. AS a mat
ter of fact, Russia extends for a few
hundred kilometers, north, south, east
and west of Moscow. The rest was a
foreign country, held together by force.
1t might become a federation and grow
into something like your United States,
but 1t never was a nation in the real
sense of the word.
"YOu think we're a great agricul-
tural country, Another fallacy. We
have land, but no agriculture, Our
peasants dance on their fields instead
Of fertilizing them.
"Foreigners have been very naive.
They assumed we were modern,
strong and capable because of few
fine things we sent to them. They
read Tolstoi or saw Pavlova and said
All! great peopler They saw
greatness through the entrechat of
some ballerina's legs"

appetite and the refreshing sleep essential

will do the work. They are wonderful.
Three of these capsules each day will put
a man on his feet before he knows it,;

the bladder, stomach arrangement or other
ailments that befall the over2ealous Amer
lean. The best known, most reliable rem
edy for these troubles is GOLD MEDAL

stood the test for more than 200 years
since its discovery in the ancient labora-
tories in Holland. 1t acts directly and
gives relief at once. Don't wait until you
are entirely down-and-out, but take them
today. Your druggist will gladly refund
your money if they do not help you. Ac-

him.

Oriainated With Webster.

'When began the custom for indi-
viduals and audiences to be sanding
when the -Spangled Banner was
sung or played"
1t was fair question. 1t was adopt
ed by the army and navy long ago /;
but the army and navy did not Origi-
nate the very appropriate and patriotic
custom.
Between sixty and seventy years
ago, when Jenny Lind, one of the
sweetest singers the world ever pro-
duced was the chief attraction at a
Boston concert, Daniel Webster, the
great senator, secretary of state and
patriot. was present.
Jenny Lind sang the "Star-Spangled
Banner" rs only that songbird could
sing it. The audience called her back
several times, and she sang a verse
of our present national anthem.
Each time one man stood up. and
at the close gracefully bowed to the
nnger. That was Daniel Webster.
1t was a good example to set, a
needed custom to establish, and one
that has been an important factor in
iinpressing patriotic lessons.
