METHODIST DRIVE
FOR EDUCATIONAL
FUNDS EXTENDED
Another Week Is Given In Drive For
Educational Funds In the
Southern Methodist
Churches.

Nashville, Tenn, June 4. = The fin
ancial drive through which Southern
Methodists are seeking $33,000,0O0 for
Christian education will be continued
another week. According to author
tiles at headquarters, this extension OF
time is granted at the request of pas
tors and laymen throughout the con-
nection; and those churches which
have not attained their full quotas will
be allowed another week in which to
secure pledges.
1--WE are organized for victory said
DR.. ]. H. Reynolds, director general
Of the Christian education movement,
"and we know no such word as fail.
Many a battle has been lost by lack
of courage or zeal in the last critical
hours of the struggle. The time for
hesitation or doubt is passed and the
time for action is at hand. The results
now largely depend upon the faith
fulness, zeal and enthusiasm with
which pastors, presiding elders, di-
rectors and members Of teams present
the financial appeal
while many churches throughout
the connection have raised their quo
tas, and more, large number will not
launch the drive until Sunday, June
5, which will necessitate more work in
securing pledges during the week of
June 5-12. Ample opportunity will be
given by this extension of time for
every church which has not raised its
quota to continue the work with re-
newed enthusiasm. Many churches
have done nobly during the past week
and inhundreds of cases gifts from
individuals living in the financially
depressed sections have been sacri-
ficial."

Child Still L.abors.

Child labor is not likely to be elm
mated from North Carolina and other southern
states until an extensive course of education
creates powerful public sentiment against it
in the states themselves A federal court in
North Carolina has decided that the new fed
eral child labor law. which imposes A tax of
10 per cent on profits derived from the product
on which child labor is employed is uncon-
stitutional because it violates the right of a
state to regulate labor
Several years ago the supreme court of the
United States pronounced unconstitutional on
the same ground the Owen-Keatiug bill. which
provided a penalty on manufacturers who
shipped out of the state goods which children
had helped to produce. The passage of that
measure created much discussion of the sub
ject of child labor both within and without
the state concerned and chance was given
then for the people to see what a wrong was
being pe-petrated on the rising generation BY
ccnfning to close work IN cotton factories for
many hours in the day children who should be
having the advantages OF school and play in
the open air The same opportunity for en-
lightenment was given when The present law
was up for passage. at least Il should have
been given, though fhs Rnpsogresstve south

ern press may not have thought It wise or
worth while to call attention to the subject
The employing class is not anxious for re-
form. since child labor is cheap labor and
gives manufacturers an advantage over their
competitors In other states Parents who per-
NIT their children TO work in factories are
largely iI1fterste and uninteiligent, or at least
uniformed as to the injurious effect Of close
confinement at steady labor on their offspring.
They are pressed by poverty and cannot re-
sist the lure of the few dollars that the young
sters add TO the home treasury. Therefore lit
tie opposition to child labor comes from that
quarter, and IL there is any sentiment against
it in the states where the employment goes on
it does not manifest itself It is rather dis
couraging outlook for children down there,
and If missionaries were to go down to try to
enighten the people as TO the wrongs being
perpetrated on their children they might be
in danger Of encountering masked regulators.

The Last Reunion.

Survivors of at least one regiment that dis
t1nguished itself when the integrity of the re-
public was threatened have recognized the fact
that their annual reunions soon will be a mat
ter of history. The letter of the officers of the
association of the 25th Illinois volunteer in
fantry, in announcing the arrangements for the
reunion this year advises that Our next re-
union probably will be on the Evergreen
Shore" 1t is but few years since the asso-
citation Of the Mexican war closed an impress
sive reunion of few survivors by declaring
the organization adjourned forever The ma
triots OF the earlier military struggles of the
nation long have since responded to the final
muster. The soldiers of the Civil war look
forward to but few more annual gatherings
OF comrades.
This year the survivors of the 25th Illinois
will assemble Sept Is at DanviIle, at the SOL
dlers' home, provided by grateful state and
nation for their comfort and protection. Vet
Grams who respond from nearby cities will be
greeted by comrades broken in body, but still
keen in spirit Faces of many who attended
in years past will be missing. But their deeds
are not forgotten.

General Pershing recently bestowed high
compliment upon the American army in France
after reviewing and inspecting 800 men of the
citizens military training camp at Plattsburgh.
1t was given with such evident spontaniety
and heartiness to enhance its effect After
remarking that the American army had pre-
vented the allies from being beaten-a well I'M
derstood fact-GeneraI Pershing added: "In
my opinion it the best army that ever
wore shoe leather"
OF course any army which availed to turn
the scale against the intolerable presumption
of the late enemy Of the allies would have been,
on that account, the best army that ever trod
shoe leather But General Pershing meant
more than that. Hindenburg said the Ameri-
can wasted his strength by unnecessary rash
exposure If such fault existed it must be
marked against the training rather than to the
unmatched pick of human material which the
top layer of selective CONSUMPTION gave the
rank and file.
The methods of this intensive recruiting
and drill were such as to develop quickly the
physical force needed to meet the shock OF
collision. The relatively short time our armies
remained in the field hardly put to any gen
eral test those staying qualities which in many
Individual instances were shown here and
there No one doubts the troops would have
shown the same staying powers that their
allies did.

War as a Leveler.

War has its commendable features. They
do not compensate for the horrible features.
but they assuage their fearfulness. The other
day two heroes OF the American expeditionary
force we're buried in their respective homes.
At Quincy, Ill, throng assembled at the fu-
neral Of Brigadier General Henry R Hill. who
persisted leading his men in the Argonne. IL
is said of him that when he reached France
Ec was given the alternative of a command in
the service of supply or lesser rank in the
combat service. Il came to France to fight
he replied, and was commissioned a major of
infantry.
At Carson, New, another throng assembled
on the grounds of the state capitol to attend
the funeral of Private Lawrence Peter Foged
The governor delivered the funeral address.
The boy over whose body he spoke had de-
lvered milk at the governors door before the
uniform and his service exalted him And a
city turned out to honor him in death
War is a leveler of men. 1t levels them
In life as we'll as in death. To this England
will testify. The old England is gone forever.
The cleavages of class are less distinct. Fac
ing extinction, shoulder to shoulder. England's
men learned life's great truth-that clay is
common to us all, and that dust receives us
when We die.

Lands and Ethics.

Lawyers are sensitive about the ethics of
their profession, and the sensitiveness is in ex-
act proportion to the legalism of their minds.
It was perhaps significant that it was Phila-
delphia lawyer who introduced the resolution
in the American Bar association meeting con-
demning Judge Landis- Had Judge Lands re-
tired from the bench and accepted a $4,000
fee for defending the crooked Chicago baseball
players he would have qualified for good and
regular standing among his professional breth-
ren- Because he accepted $4,000 for seeing
to it that the game of baseball is conducted
with something like common decency and still
kept his job Of handing out Justice from the
federal bench Judge Lands is under the COZ
domination of lawyers some of whom doubtless
nave accepted fees several times $42, 900 in size
This is not to say that the principle which
the legal gentlemen seek to uphold is wrong
On the other hand, it is quite right We should
not like to see Judge Lands presiding in fed
erdl court and at the same time serving as a
paid adviser Of the packers or some railroad
corporation At the same time it would seem
that the resolution might have been framed in
such way as to give Judge Lands the credit
for distinct public service even while criti-
cising his acceptance of money for its perform
anee. Judge Landis' mind distinctly is not
legaistic. Had it been cast in the conventional
lawyer mold he would have accepted the &C
quittal of the crooked ball players as a COM
plete vindication and welcomed them back to
the game injured innocents. Judge Landis'
sense of justice permitted him to do no such
thing.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Hot Water Drinking.

Is the drinking of from a pint to
a quart of hot water before break
fast in the morning beneficial to
health? Mrs. D. Nd
Answer-Many elderly persons
seem to find it beneficial l should
suggest cool water, rather than hot
water.
Electric Battery.
Is the use of electric battery 20
to so minutes a day conducive to
good health and better nerves? Cd.
c.
Answer-No. The same time
spent in taking a walk every day
would be better for health and
nerves.
Cold Morning Shower.
Do you authorize taking cold
water bath every morning as a
health habit? TX M. IL
Answer.-No. That is an unrea-
sonably severe demand to make on
health. For a few vigorous young
persons who can't or won't take
enough exercise daily, cold morn
ing shower is a sort of second
choice as self discipline, but poor
second.
Blackheads and Pimples.
Please be good enough to print
in your column your recipe for
blackheads and pimples. (Ade-
laide.)
Answer-One good lotion in equal
parts of sublimed sulphur, COM
pound tincture of lavender, alco-
hol, glycerin, and camphor water
five ingredients). This is to be
applied each night and allowed to
dry on over night
Oranges.
Kindly give your advise on the
use of oranges. l use this fruit
freely, but have been told that it is
not good for persons with dark hair
and complexion. IF. M
Answer.-Somebody has been
spoof1ng you. Oranges used freely
are valuable items of the diet, ire
spective of complexion.

ApooryphaI Nasal Catarrh.

]. L. Nick. writes: At am a con
slant reader of your articles. You
say catarrh is myth. Well, l have
so-called nasal catarrh, and
should be pleased to learn what il
/ is an how to rid myself of the
malady."
! F. D. P. writes: 81 seem to have
Something hope you will not tell
me there is no such thing, but even
if there isn't, you'll know what !
mean-something like catarrh. You
don't call it that, but we do, and ii
course you understand what is
meant. l have catarrh of the head
Can you suggest a formula for
this?"
F. S. writes: Would you be
good enough to explain exactly
what nasal catarrh is, and whether
there is real cure for it. l saw
an offer by DR.. who promis ed
to remove the trouble in 80 days.
Do you know anything of his treat
ment and whether he is reliable %
The idea that there is some spe-
cif1c or characteristic disease state
designated by the name of catarrh
is a myth. But unfortunately it is
true that many different disease
conditions of the nose cavity or
lining in particular are confused
under the name of catarrh by the
laity and by healers preying on pop
ular ignorance and by poorly train
ed practicing physicians. l blush
to admit that we have in the pro-
LESSONS a number of doctors, many
of them with large and incurative
practices, who are incapable of ex-
aiming and diagnosing ordinary
cases of nasal disease and who feel
that such care is unnecessary,
Now, let US see what a layman
thinks "catarrh" is. l quote phrases
from many letters concerning this
apocryphal state: more or less
constant mucous discharge" hawk
ing and dropping of mucous in my
throat" cant breathe freely
through my nose" "one side al
ways running" etc. These symp-
toms have been played up by the
"catarrh specialists" so long that
the credulous layman has really
accepted them as conclusive.
Therefore when a doctor who is not
seeking to exploit the catarrh myth
asserts that there is no such dis
ease, state or condition as "catarrh"
the good layman can't follow him.
Among the actual disease states
which may cause one or another of
the symptoms quoted I may men,
ton the following: Foreign BODY
lodged in the nose, diphtheria of
the nose lining, adenoids, diseased
tonsils, simple chronic inf1amma-
ton of the lining of the nose, over
growth or thickening of the spongy
or turbinate bodies in the nose.
