Proper Food For Weak StomaChs.

The proper food for one man
may be all wrong for another.
Every one should adopt a diet
suited to his age and occupation.
Those vino have weak stomachs
need to be especially careful and
should eat slow y and masticate
their food thoroughly. 1t is al
so important that they keep
their bowels regular. When
they become constipated or when
they feel dull and stupid after
eating, they should take Cham
berlains Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move their
bowels. They are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.

LOOKING AHEAD.

In the minds of the citizens of de-
mocracy the idea hat service is due
to the government from every one
must be firmly implanted or the en-
franchised cease to be representative
of such government.
The selective draft answers the pur-
pose of this service, from a military
standpoint, during the war we are at
present engaged in, but largely be-
cause of the fact that we have time to
prepare while our allies combat the
enemy. We must look to the future
and the possibilities of war declared
upon US when we will have no ally.
Should this occur selective cOnscrip-
ton would be of no avail. Accepting
the fact that the citizen of democ-
racy owes his service to the govern
ment, is it not logical that we should
organize this service, which shall be
trained and equipped for an emergen-
cy and able to act Immediately as
perfect machine when the necessity
arises? Few citizens but believe that
universal military training is absolute
ly necessary to the future safety of
this country and that this system
should be adopted by the government
at the first opportune moment.
The speeding up of our plans to win
this war should in no way be inter-
fered with, and future policies must
be hell in check that they may not in
terfera with the winning of this war.
But when our legislators feel that the
speeding up Of the war is accomplish
ed a bill shoGld be passed creating a
system of universal military training
and service which will amply provide
for Cur country's defense in the fu-
ture, thereby assuring us against the
disaster of an attack which would find
US unprepared and completely at the
mercy 1t an organized foe.

answer in The Landmark of

that Mr. Doughton aud his
friends are ready to answer any
charges brought against him,
and the fact that it is proposed to
attack him on the eve of the
primary, SO that answer can't be
made before the voting begins,
is sufficient evidence that the
charges it is proposed TO bring
will not bear the light Of day.
Charges brought on the eve of
an election when they can't be
answered, are unfair and usually

RETURN Mr.. DOUcHTON.
The StatesviIIe Landmark Clear Of Vision,
Comes out Boldly for Mr.. Doughton.

The Landmark feels 1T duty
in the interest Of the public ser
vice and the public welfare, to
urge the Democrats of Iredell
and the eighth congressional
district to go to the primary,
Saturday, June 1st, and vote to
return Hon. R L Doughton t.
Congress. There is no question
of the denomination of Mr Dough
ton if his friends go to the prl
mary. 1t is possible, however
for him to be defeated by over
confidence.
Mr. Doughton deserves to be
returned to Congress, He is
a capable industrious and eff.
cient Representative; a man of
high character, of clean life he
has served the people faithfully,
he has made a fine record for
honest and efficient public
service. He is the only farmer
and he is a real farmer-in Con
gress from North Carolina This
fact of itself is not reason for
keeping Mr. poughton in Con
gress, but is strong reason
when considered in connection
with his other qualifications
and reason that the farmers in
his district should remember.
moreover, it is an admitted
fact, demonstrated over and over
again, that the longer one serves
in Congress, the more influential
he is and the more useful he is to
his constituents. The argument
that one who is in should be con
tinued is not sound unless faith
full service has been rendered and
the expcrierce of special worth
Length of service in Legislative
bodies, especially in Congress.
counts most and is most valuable
if there is with it, as is in the
case of Mr. Doughton, a record
Of faithful service.
There is, therefore. every
reason why Mr. Doughton should
be continued in Congress: and
the only real reas on for opposi-
tion to him is that another seeks
the place. The Democrats of
the district should consider we'll
before they dispense with the
services of tried man, one who
has proven his worth and his
strength at the polls.
In this time of the country's
peril, when all effort is needed
for service in support of the war.
there should be as little DO itical
agitation as possible.
Again the Landmark urges the
Democrats of Iredell and the dis
trict to go to the primary June
lst and vote for Mr. Doughton.

Aeain Calls on the People to Eat Less and
and Save More Food.

peal to the people of America,
the appeal to be presented not
only through the press but also
through churches. fraternal or
ders, women's clubs and other
! org anizations:
The confidence of the United
States Food administration that
the people Of the country would
respond enthusiastically and
whole heartedly upon presenta-
ion of the facts to any necessary
request for reduction in .consum-
ptlon of food has been fully jus
titled. We have demonstrated
our ability, not only to think to-
gether but act together. This
! response cf the people is not the
reason for the present appeal.

The facts that our exports of
foodstuhs are constantly increas-
ing and are approaching the min
mum requirements abroad, the
lieed for renewed devotion and
effort is pressing. While all Of
the requirements of the Food
A Administration should be con-
stautly observed, there are certain
matters which | desire to stress
at this time
I'm case of meat and meat

ment abroad are very great.
Whereas the Allied consumption
has been reduced to an -z.ayeragl
Of about one and one-quarter
pounds per person per week, We
are to day enjoying an average
of about three and one quarter
pounds per person per week.
This division is inequitable. An
understanding of these facts will
justify our requests that the
consumption of all meats nclud-
ing poultry, as nearly as possible
be reduced to two pounds per
week per person over four years
of age
In case of sugar we are en-
barrassed by the necessity of us
ing ships for carrying our sold
ers aud feeding the Allies and
in consequence we must use su.
gar with great economy. We
must enlaphasiz the Importance
of canning and preserving on a
large scale among our people
this summer and our available
sugar must be conserved for this
purpose.
"But the situation with regard
to wheat is the most serious in
the supply of the allied world.
If we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements of our armies
and the Allies and the suffer1ng
millions in the Allied Countries,

''PLkTTSbURGS" FOR
SCHOOL TEACHERS
To Be Held by National Security
League Throughout Country
During Coming Summer.

"Teachers' Plattsburgs," at which
100000 public school teachers will be
given practical training in patriotic
education, will be held during the COM
ing summer in practically every state
in the Union by the National Security
League. The scheme of this elaborate
new division of the Leagues Patriot
ism Through Education campaign is
conceived on the same basic idea along
which the League has been working
for some time, concentrating on the
teachers of the youth of the land and
thereby reaching the children through
the teachers and the people through
their children.
The objects of the Leagues cam
paign are two-fold-active combating
of German propaganda and awaken
ing more responsible American citi-
zenship.
At Summer Schools.
The Security League will conduct
these 'Teachers' Plattsburgs" through
the medium of the summer schools for
teachers that are held throughout the
country every year. 1t has not yet
been determined how many centers
will be used The matter is being,
taken up with all of the 700 summer
schools of the country and probably
between so and rs of the training
camps will be established, the schools
selected being chosen after careful in.
Vestig3tion as to attendance, breadth
of influence and convenience of loca-
ton.
The training camps will be conduct
ed by leading educators whose cooper
alton Will be enlisted by the League.
The actual instruction viii be under
the direction of DR.. Robert NJ. NIcEl-
roy, educational director of the
League, and the members of the Ma
tional Patriotic Education Faculty"
which he has organized. The League
already has over 1000 experienced pa
rriotic speakers on it's Speakers Bu-
reau list. A great many of these men
and women will be detailed to the
"TeaChers Plattsburgs' and their
number will be augmented by volun-
teers from the principal colleges and
universities of the country, whose aca-
GemiC duties have prevented them
from taking active part in the patri-
oric education work outside their i'm
mediate field. but who will be free
during the summer months.
War Spirit.
The teachers will be given a series
of vital interpretations Of the war by
men and women who have given care
ful study to the situation. In addition
to this instilling Of the war spirit in
the Teachers the training camps will
also afford them practical instruction
in the best methods of imparting to
the youth of the land the TWO war
principles on which the Security
Leagues Patriotism Through Educa-
ton campaign is based-the menace of
Germany to America, and the neces-
sity of individual service on the part
of every man, woman and child in the
country in order to prevent defeat.
A preliminary letter has been sent
by Doctor McElroy to the directors of
all the sur'mer schools of the country.
