w?---? DOLLAR TO ASSUME THRONE. Federal Reserve Roard Decides Hour f " Has Struck for Uncle Sam's Coin. ?sK Washington, September 10.?The time has come, in the opinion of the federal reserve board, when the American dollar should take a dominating place in the financial markets C, of the world, and when American or dollar exchange should become the medium through which the millions ?v- - * ovnnrts and imports of the United V1 States are paid. To open the field " for American exchange the board today issued revised regulations governing the rediscount of bankers' acceptances by federal reserve banks, providing among other things that under certain conditions such accepances may be renewed. In explanav j ' tion of the new regulations the board tonight issued a statement which said: fe. "It has been the aim of the board to do everything in its power to create for the American acceptance, that is dollar exchange, a dominating po {p. , si tion in the world market. Present conditions offer in this respect a R&'ife great opportunity. In widening i somewhat the facilities or reaerai reserve banks in dealing with American bankers' acceptances the board is attempting to give the member banks a larger opportunity for developing their sphere of usefulness in this respect. The United States should now do what Europe has done for many generations for the. United * - States, that is to say, the bank fa. cilities of the United States should be used for the carrying of import and export transactions for foreign countries just as much as Europe up to now carried by its acceptance of the United States. Liberal Consideration. "In order to do thfs with the ex change market disorganized it was # thought that it would: -facilitate forr eign transfers if" liberal considerar tions should be allowed for "the re' newal of such drafts so as to enable these foreign countries.to have ample time to procure the necessary cover against the acceptance drawn by them." . Members of the board said there is no connection between the revision of the acceptance regulations and the visit of the Anglo-French commission to the United States to take up exchange problems with American AVft IUttUivcj. o. It was pointed out tonight, however, that the new aceptance regulations might facilitate the credit loan sought by fhe Anglo-French commission. The board has liberalized conJ ditions so that foreign and American bankers may use a part of the resources of the federal reserve sys? -tem in taking care of purchases : ^ made here for exportation. On the last day the condition of the twelve reserve banks was published they ' had combined resources in gold in their vaults of about $209,000,000. ' If American bankers decided to ex' tend credit by endorsing or accepting drafts on Europe they probably could rely on rediscounting these drafts with federal reserve banks to the value of many millions. > Work Day Saturday, Sept. 25. There are nearly 1,000 orphan ( children in the church orphanages ' of the State: 300 at Thornwell or phanage (Presbyterian,) Clinton, Sy C.,; 250 at Connie Maxwell (Baptist,) &;?; Greenwood, S. C.; 240 at Epworth ; orphanage (Methodist,) Columbia, S. p-vv C.; 122 at the Church Home (Epis- 1 copal,) Yorkville, S. C. The daily bread for all these children comes from the gifts of the peogjfc pie. They have nothing except what A .... 1 g? is given them. jfe " These children are being trained to make useful, healthy, intelligent citizens, and many boys and girls jj|;- *v reared in these orphanages are succeeding in life. v All these institu^ tions are crowded and their needs 1 jgr.;-/ are pressing. jfe By appointment, Saturday, Septem' ** " VinAn /-?

An enormous increase in the number of persons seeking anti-typhoid t vaccination is reported by the U. S. public health service, according to a .( Washington special to the Charlotte 1 Observer. No: alone is this increase manifested among the beneficiaries of i that organization of the government 1 employes, but the general public is * also awakening to the value of the < inoculation. Reports from physi- < cians throughout the country indi- i cate that many are receiving the pre- < ventative treatment and laboratory i establishments have had a greatly * increased demand for the vaccine, J So great is the call among employes of the government that it has been i necessary to issue a second edition 1 of the secretary of the treasury's cir- < cular stating the localities where the 1 treatment may be received. It is es- 1 timated that during 1914 over 100,- i 000 persons throughout the country 1 were immunized and it is believed ' that in 1915 the number will exceed 1 300,000. In four counties in North Carolina, where the campaigns are 1 now being conducted, it is estimated < that 20,000 people will be immunized. 1 The public is seldom slow to accept an innovation of worth. The 1 reduction of the case rate in the army from 536 per 100,000, before < the discovery of anti-typhoid vaccine, i to 3, since inoculation* was made 1 compulsory, has not passed unno- < ticed. During four months of 1898 1 there were over 2,000 cases of ty- 1 phoid among 10,000 soldiers en- < camped in Florida; in 1911, among 20,000 men similarly encamped, there 5 were but two cases. If such a degree { of immunity can be harmlessly con- 1 ferred upon a body of men living 1 under adverse condition and whose age renders them susceptible, the 5 conclusion is that protection can just < as easily be afforded ordinary citi- 1 zens. N 1 Anti-typhoid vaccination is quite J as simple as that for smallpox and ( even children do not complain. There ^ are no local effects other than " a 1 slight reddening at .the site of the 1 injection, and sore arms are entire- J ly lacking. In a?small percentage of * cases a mild systematic re-action, ac- * companied; by headache and a slight * rise in temperature occurs, but if the 6 treatment is given at night the per- * son's rest is undisturbed and he is 1 entirely unaware of the symptoms. * in the majority of instances, how- c ever, there is not the slightest incon- 1 venience." The immunity probably I lasts for several years, although its * duration is less than that of smali- I pox, which frequently persists for a 1 lifetime. It is believed that more wide- * spread recognition of the benefits ; conferred by anti-typhoid immuniza tion will have an immediate effect s upon the morbidity and mortality c rates for the disease. As a result of 8 sanitary measures alone the death c rate from typhoid ~ has been cut in c half during the last 15 years; what s has been done in 15 years of sanita- * tion can be accomplished in as many c weeks with inoculaticm. It is con- c ceivable, if immunization attains the ^ general * recognition that smallpox prevention has secured, and there is 8 qo reason why such acceptance c should not be accorded it, that ty- s phoid will be a rare disease by 1930. * This means t^hat even many of the 1 older physicians of today will live to see the time' when the < infection * will no longer be common. t One point must be considered1 in t making such a prognostication. As v immunity is conferred the necessity 1 for immunization becomes less ap- * ' ... v parent to the general public, and tne ? method will to a certain extent be * neglected. This is the situation as T regards smallpox in the. country to- t flay, and for this very reason the dis- ? ease will persist until universal im- c munflzation is practiced. Therefore, e even with perfect methods, the eh- * tire elimination of the disease is not * to be looked for.

That is what a physician of this lity said when asked if it was a good :hing to drink much water. Doctors disagreed about whether it is good to drink water with meals, the majority believing thg,t food should not be washed down with liquids, but should be thoroughly shewed and mixed with saliva, which is an aid to digestion. But several ioctors who were asked anout it as serted that it was good to drink even is much as a quart of water with meals. All of the seven doctors who were interviewed about the benefits of water drinking agreed that the copious drinking of water was a preventative of disease, and they had known many cases in which health was restored by t,he drinking of water in large quantities. One doctor advocated the drinking of as much as three gallons of water a day in very warm weather, reducing the amount when the weather is cooler, but never drinking less than a gallon a day. "Why," said this physician, "twothirds of the weight of the body is water. In a very warm day in August an average man who Is at work will perspire from two to six quarts of water a day. Where is it all coming from if .you don't drink it? Many poisons generated by the body are oxuded through the pores of the skin in perspiration. Many persons think they are not perspiring unless they can see beads of water on the skin. But we perspire, at all times, walking and sleeping, and we do not see it because it evaporates immediately. It is almost impossible to drink too much water." Another doctor said: "I saw a short article in the Star the other svening quoting an eminent medi- I 3al authority as saying that all I ;irls and {women who wished to. have I i good complexion should, drink two B juarts of water a day. I would dou- I Die that and advise them to drink I four quarts a day. Give the boy B Dlenty of pure water, inside and out- I; side, a gallon $a day inside, a thor- I, >ogh. bathing of the whole body at'B east once a day, fresh air at all the I imes, night and day, and plenty of I] ixerfcise, preferably by outdoor walk- I ng, and you can't very well be sick.

If every woman ? vould do that the rouge and com- rr )lexion powder factories would shut fZ> Lown. \There is nothing so good as | j )lenty of water drunk every day for he complexion." A physician said: "I am not claimng that the drinking of plenty of vater is a preventative of all diseases; that would be misleading and iilly, but I will say this: I, have :ured several bad cases of stomach liliaents with water alone.

"Especially is this true of persons vho take little exercise and who live ndoors, where they breathe impure lir. "I often prescribe the slow sipping )f at least a pint of hot water in the norning while dressing. This washes >ut the stomach, stimulates the cir- ca iulation in the lungs and skin and T1 promotes the action of the liver.
