of Washing ton, D. c., secretary of
the American Pharmaceutical As
ISOLATION. DR.. Kelly addressed e
night session, which also heard an
address by Dr.. R. P. Lyon, of
Charlotte, president of the Associa-
ton.
DR.. Kelly said that the drug in
dustry has increased its produc-
ton and distribution of drugs and
medical supplies remarkably,
meeting the local and foreign de-
mande, despite wartime conditions
which ordinarily would have
seriously affected kindred profess
sions.
He said that to date more than
$4,000 registered pharmacists have
been taken into the armed forces
and that because of wartime short
ages of help more than 5000 drug
stores have ceased operation, with
an additional 1900 expected to quit
before the end of 1914.
Records show, he said, that only
81, 1000 active pharmacists remain
in the country. These operate S.
900 drug stores and help maintain
drug supply businesses, hospitals
and pharmaceutical schools.
Praises Druggists
Lyon, who will be succeeded to-
morrow by newly elected presl-
dent praised the North Caro-
lima druggists for their contribu-
ton toward protecting the health
of our people and in supporting in
particular those war efforts deal
ing with health"
He recommended that the as
ISOLATION take immediate steps to
provide a part time consultant
on drug store equipment for mem-
Der stores; that series OF five
to ten-day "refresher" courses in
pharmacy be established at the
University of North Carolina, add
ing that veterans will desire to
take advantage of such brush-up
courses before returning to civilian
practices"
He also recommended that the
association endorse Governor
Broughton'c medical-care program
and to work for legislation bringing
it into existence.

of the University of North Caro-
lina's School of Pharmacy, dis

CROP OUTLOOK
HELD FAVORABLE
Farmexes Face Setback
Unless Rain Falls
In Near Future

r. W. Galphin, farm demon
stration agent, reported yesterday
that the crop outlook for the coun-
ty was favorable but added that
setbacks would occur unless we
soon had rain.
1.-The crops are coming along
fine but they are dry from want
of rain," he explained. There is
no proposal of rain in the future
except for a few afternoon show
ers."
Galphin pointed ou that the ra-
dish and tomato harvests promls-
ed to be plentiful. 1t is different
story with the bean crop as it is
short and will continue so unless
rain comes in order to fill ou
the growing beans.
Placing emphasis on the beans
he said under normal conditions
farmers would be picking their
crops but because of the dryness
would be delayed a few weeks.

Why Man, Prayers Did
Moi Stop Hitler

Millions of people daily practice
meditation, prayer, new thought
and other spiritual exercises. For
many years, people of good will
have been praying for the over
throw OF Hitler, Hirohito and what
they stand for. Why has the answer
been so long delayed? Why do so
many other prayers remain TN
answered? Why does calamity Of
ten befall us in spite of our pray
ers?
Thirty years ago, in Forbidden
Tibet, behind the highest noun
tains in the world, young Eng
lishman named Edwin ]. Dingle
found the answers to these cues
tions. A great mystic opened his
eyes. A great change came over
him. He realized the strange Pow
er that knowledge gives.
That Power, he says, can trans
form the life of anyone. Questions,
whatever they are, can be answer
ed. The problems Of health. death,
poverty and wrong, can be solved.
IL his own case, he was brought
back to splendid health. He ac-
quired wealth, too, as well as
worldwide professional recogni-
tion. Thirty years ago. he was sick
as a man could be and live. Once
his coffin was bought. Years of
almost continuous tropical fevers,
broken bones, near blindness, pri-
walton and danger had made a
human wreck of him. physically
and mentally.
He was about to be sent back
to England to die, when strange
message came-''They are waiting
for you in Tibet" He wants to tell
the whole world what he learned
there, under the guidance of the
