suing four years and was succeeded

three national convention delegates,
it will leave them uninstructed on
the question Of the presidential
nominee they should support at
Philadelphia. II this course is ad-
hered to, the District delegation will
decide at the convention which as
pirant should receive the Districts
votes.
The local convention also will
nominate the Districts choice for
national committeeman and ma
tional committeewoman, and the
general expectation is that Edward
F. Colladay and Mrs. Virginia White
Speel again will be chosen.
While the District delegation is
likely to be uninstructed on presi-
Dental candidates, the local con-
vention probably will consider res
olutions covering policies to be con-
sidered In drafting the party's plat
form.
Platform Committee Named.
With this in view, Chairman Wilkes
last night appointed . Committee
on Platform and Policies to pre-
pare q report for submission to
the local convention. The CON-
mittee consists of Mr.. Garrett,

ton during the next four years

His tail, which he had been carry
ing in dropping, discouraged sort
of way, was suddenly lifted. He
threw his head up and shifted the
air and in his eyes was gleam of
hope And with it was gleam of

1t all depends. Yes, sir, what's in
a feather all depends. There Is
warmth in it if it is where it was
intended to be. There is beauty In
it. There is comfort in it if there
are enough others with it. And
sometimes there is danger in 1t, and
sometimes there Is hope in it. As I
said before, it all depends. It de-
pends on where the feather is and
who sees it.
Just consider the feather that
Reddy Fox discovered just at break
of dawn one morning as he was
making his way home through the
Green Forest after fruitless all
night hunt. There was snow, quite
lot of snow, on the ground. In

hadn't found the going as easy as
he would have liked. There was

Now, had you been in Reddy's

feather there probably would have
been nothing In it to you. If you
had noticed it at all you would

Body Of Yours
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
PEPTIC ULCER IS DUE TO THE
PATIENTS PERSONALITY.

PEPT1C ULCER IS DUE TO THE
PATIENTS PERSONALITY.
One of the Jokes about the medical
profession is that when the physician
doesn't know what Is the matter
with a patient, he sends him on a
trip or vacation. Particularly is this
the case in those who have a poor
appetite and do not sleep well.
AS a matter of fact, the physician
after examination has found what is
mot" the matter with the patient
1t Is not cancer, but there Is a real
chance OF peptic ulcer in stomach
or small intestine developing If the
patient does not get a change of
surroundings.
DR.. T. G.. Miller, Philadelphia, in
Virginia Medical Monthly states
that peptic ulcer is more than just
an ulcer of the stomach or small
intestine. He says:
THE physician must concern him
self with the persons heredity, with
his physical. mental and emotional
makeup, with the nature of his
gland and nervous system, his sur
roundings, social standing and per-
sonal habits of life.
'The patient is usually of a
nervous temperament, worries un-
duly. and is usually looking inward.
He is nervous in the sense of being
fearful, highly sensitive, intense and
strenuous. Peptic ulcer often de-
velops in predisposed people
slender, nervOuS-When they are
under unusual emotional strain, con-
tinued worry and anxiety"
Personal habits which involve
overwork, loss of sleep and nervous
exhaustion deserve special attention
in prevention and treatment There
is an excess of hydrochloric acid
present in all those with peptic
ulcer, although all with excess hydro
chloric acid do not have peptic
ulcer BY the use of alkalis, this
acid is neutralized, which is a part
of the treatment and cure.
When We study the above facts as
outlined by DR.. Miller and look
about among our friends and ac-
quaintanceS who we know have
peptic ulcer, it can readily be seen
how, with trip. vacation, that
takes the individual away from his
surroundings with their fears, wor-
ries and anxieties, and places him
amid new surroundings, different
food, and change in the cooking,
beginning or early peptic ulcer is
prevented or is soon treated. A
change of scenery often helps more
than peptic ulcer patients.

Reddy has hunted her so much that
he would know one of her feathers
anywhere. Furthermore, Reddy
knew that Mrs. Grouse wasn't in
the habit Of dropping her feathers
this time of year. She had need of
all Of them to keep her warm.
Therefore, this little feather must
have been pulled out. 1t was stick
ing to twig which was thrust just
above the snow. That meant that
Mrs. Grouse had brushed against
that twig hard enough to cause it
to pull that feather out. OF course,

going fast when she hit that little
twig. In short, she had been going
to bed down in the snow and she
was not yet up. A hasty glance this
way and that way was all Reddy
needed to make sure Of this.
That is what there was in that
little feather for Reddy Fox. 1t told
him everything but one that he
wanted to know The one thing it
didn't tell him was just exactly the
spot where Mrs. Grouse then was.
There was hope of a breakfast in

than this to Reddy Fox. 1t told him

CALLS FOR CONFIDENCE
Election OF Officers Sched-
uled At Closing Session
This Afternoon

With an address on confidence
in Cod by Miss Inabelle Coleman,
of the Richmond Foreign Mission
board, the second day of the 50th
annual convention Of the Woman's
Missionary Union Of North Caro-
lima came to a close last night at
the First Baptist church. More than
700 women from throughout the
state have registered at the meet
ing.
Miss Coleman emphasized com
prehensively and at length the
great import of a continuing and
u%nvarying confidence and faith in
the Almighty and the principles
set up by His disciples.
Only Way
Gin this way and in this way
only" she said, "can we find that
place in eternity designated for the
true believers"
She continued, saying that it
takes strength and courage to cling
to the faith through strife and
through hardship, but added that
ultimately it is the only course a
thinking person can take-the only
course one who wishes to abide by
the dictates of Jesus Christ can
follow.
And in the end, she said, that
enduring and unchanging faith in
God will lead the believer to eternal
happiness.
The meeting was held in the main
auditorium of the church. 1t was
beautifully decorated with flowers
of various kinds and was packed to
capacity. 49,
