FAOE EIGHT ASSERTS DEATH CAN BE ABOLISHED Swami Kripananda Tc'is How This Can be Accomplished. New York?Is the human ra~e about to abolish death. ( an pie^ent-day mortals obtain immo:tn! life? Most* religions say no. S, ion e says no. Common sense says n ?. Death ca.n be ab l shcd, asse: ts Swami Kripananda. It is w'thin man's power to fix the limit oi is own 1 it'c? or to abo'i-h that i m t entirely, if he desires. The*.e are men living' today in India, ho .-ays, i i:-. r ... .^....1 who nave oeen anve iui n. hundred years and who can n nt 1111 their lives indefinitely. Swami Krij anan'a is n t a Hindoo, tin ayh he goes by the Hindoo name which became bis when lie wa < initiated into his sect. He is ef French-Russian extraction and habeen a citizen of the United Statefor 10 years. 11" lives today in lirooklyn. How can death be abolished? Swami Kripananda answers: "The task before us is to obtain direction over what we have been doing" involuntarily?over our thoughts, our heart-beats, our breath. As soon as we do that we shall be able to control our bodies, and then we shall have neither disease nor senility, neither birth nor death." "The heart-beat controls the brain and our breath controls our heartbeat. So we see that if we are able to direct our breathing we shall con trol our heart-beats and through those our brains. ,Follow These Steps. "In oriler to reach the super-con sciousnesr. which he seeks, one must go through the following steps. Yama, or the state, of harmlessness, chastity, truthfulness, honesty and not desiring gifts from others. Study of the scripture, bodily and mental purity, tranquility of mind, austerities and the worship of God. Asanas., or various postures which enable, one to perfect his body. Pranayama, or control of breath. Pratyhara, or abstraction. Pharana, or concentration. Phyana, or meditation. "It is through the Asanas and Pranayama that death can be abolished. ' "The study should not h^ begun except under the instructs n of a competent teacher. Men who have tried this without intelligent guidance have gone ir.sar.e. "Some philosophers say there art 84 different asanas. Others saj there are as many as a million. Th< object of them all is to strengthei the body and at the same time t< free the mind for its tasks by re jecting and excluding all outside in flue noes. "If you try one of the a anas, yoi will be surprised to find how caln your no.'VQks become, no matter ho\ much you have been wrought uy Your face will change, the hars lii*o?s pr.iU disappear, it will becom serene $Jcjct you v.ill hear btauti ful voices.

The only hope f the world's escape from a seethir tumultous hell lies in the saturati of the Man of Galilee, Gov. T. 1 Bickctt told the Southern Chr ian convention in 24th biennial ; < sion here. While he characterized the nn.k the sublimest instance of altrui ever enacted in human history. G< ernor Bickett declared that "all beautiful spirit of brotherhood 1 been dissipated, selfishness sits the saddlf- and savagery hisses fr the ambush." The convention will adjourn torn ..iHU tr,r? of offic row wim un i n ..v../.. i.. and the .selection of permanent hi quarters. Raleigh and Burlington, C., and Suffolk Va., has put ii claim. Today's session of the convent heard Dr. W. K.

"SIX DAYS SHALT THOU LABOR i AND DO ALL THY WORK." The same God who laid upon the children of Israel the injunction to observe the sanctity of the Sabbath proclaimed also the holiness of toil an declared that labor is the law 1 of salvation. In this crucial period i of human history it behooves us all to give heed not to one-seventh ef this commandment only but to tlm six-sevenths with which the Almighty glorified toil and translated woik into a form of worship. There is nothing in this command iv.ent that we of the present day are j warranted in interpreting as Divin Sanction for shorter hours or art i ficial restriction of production. "Six days shall thou labor"? not six 1- .... .. t ii*Ut b ?1 il*)Ui a uiiy ^ ini i'v i n vi^nv iivvi. i? day, but so many hours as may bo 'required to do all thy work.

Prominent among them are Prince Ernest of Saxony and Gen.

Jett Lauck, former seer h tary of the War Labor Board, su gested to the Railroad Labor Boa two methods to curb profitecrii fl a . and reduce the cost of living. I Either the cost of price of i 'on j commodities should be marked wh 'on' leaving the industry, Mr. Lauck ci , clared, or Congress should conti the industries as the railroads we M ! controlled during the war.

The witness declared that the way was open to slop the vicieu* circle of increased wages and increased prices and the question was before Congress where it must finally be solved. Action by Congress will have to come, he asserted, unless the force of public opin ion acquainted with the real cost cf commodities, reduces prices t> the proper levels. Labi r costs have been in no way responsible for current high pi ices, Mr. Lauck contended, pioducing | statistics lending to show that the enormous profits made by corpora tions since the beginning of the war i have been the cause. Labor is hard ly an appreciable element in proj duction expense, he argued. The weather turned to very much J cooler last week after Sunday and J Monday when the temperature \va rath.cr warm. PROHTEFR CURBS IN ANCIENT BAYS' _ ! ! j Thousand Years Ago An Egyptian Flogged Them?Early ; British Labor. I Profited ing in foods and high wa^o demands by labor are far from | being ultra-modern problems. i Ancient Egypt flogged its profiteers in the market places, and me dival England passed maximum wage laws, according to a communication by Ralph A. Graves to the National Geographic Society, whkh says: Following the devastation of the black death in England in 13-48-1349, cultivation of the fields was utterly impossible and there were not even enough able-bodied laborers to gather the crops which had matured. Cattle roamed though the corn unmolested and the harvest rotted . 1 where it stood. Out of the stituation which resulted from the improvement of the labor resources of the kingdom grew j - ? 1 T1 1 1 1 I tfte lirst great ciasn in u?ngjan<i ue- ( tween capital and labor. Tlie peas- | ants became masters of the situa- I tion. In some instances they de- s i man .ed double wages, and whereas f ifoimcrly land-owners had paid one r j twelfth of every quarter of wheat as J the harvesting wage, they were now j forced to pay one-eighth. Parliament hurriedly passed dras- ' ! tic laws in an effort to meet the ^ j rev; condition. Statutes provided ' that "fvery man or woman, bond or ! free, able in body and within the age ' of three score years, not having his ! own whereof ho may live, nor land of his own about which he may \oc- ( cupy himself, and not serving any 1 other, shall be bound to sei-ve the * employer who shall require him to do so. provided that the lords of any * bondsman or land-servant shall be 1 preferred before others for his ser- ' vice; that such servants shall take only the wages which were customarily given in 1.147" (the year j . prim- to the first appearance of the t plague). Violation of the statute meant im_ prisonmerit; and it was further pror vided that any reaper, mower, or 3 workman leaving service should be . imprisoned. If workmen demanded t more than the regulation wage, they P were to be fined double, and the land i, owner who paid more than the pre: scribed sum was to be fined treble t| that amount. Runaway laborers were s to be branded with an "F" as a pers petual sign of their falsity. No bail was to be accepted for any of these labor offenses, g The first ordinance in English history, designed to curb the greed of the middleman, was passed nearly a century earlier (in 1258) when there was a bountiful harvest but destructive rains caused the heavy crops to il i rot in the fields. ' Hut England did not originate | food control measures. A low Nile ss j in 907 A. D. resulted in a famine the i I following year, which swept away ik 000.000 people in the vicinity of *d Fustat. G'awhar, a mohammodan or Joseph, founded a new city (the Calro of today) a short distance from the stricken town and immediately I'd organized relief measures. VI The Caliph Molizz lent every assistance to his lieutenant, sending ill many ships laden with grain; but the ?n price of bread still remained high, le- and G'awhar, being a food controller rol who had no patience with persuasive to methods, ordered his soldiers io sei: e U'h all the millers and grain dealers an ! ib- flog them in the public market place, The administrator then established to central grain depots and corn was VAY, S.

This is the time of year for the lousekeeper to see to it that a suficient number of eggs be preserved or winter use. Eggs laid during Vpril May and early June have been | ound to keep better than those laid ater in the season. If satisfactory results are to be >btainod, the eggs should be fres'i ind clean and, if possible, infertile. Iggs that float when placed in the solution are not fresh, and therefore i annot be preserved. When an egg! s only slightly soiled, a cloth dam- j kerned with vinegar can be used to | remove the stains, liadly soiled J iggs should never be used for preserving; if put in the jar while dirty they will spoil and washing lemoves coating which prevents spoiling. A good method of preserving eggs is the use of sodium silicate or water glass. A quart of sodium silicate can be secured for about 50 cents and this will preserve 15 dozen eggs. Use one quart sodium silicate to nine quarts of water that has been boiled and cooled. VELVETBEANS PLANTED IN CORN Clemson College.?The 38 per cent decrease in the wheat crop, together with a tremendous shortage of other foods, makes it imperative that the farmers shall make every acre plant I ed this year to other crops than cotton, produce the maximum of food and feed. Unless this is done a food famine will be the certain result. Corn will occupy a large acreage in South Carolina this year a* usual; but corn planted alone doe? not produce the land's maximm ol food and feed. It has been showr that when legumes are grown witJ corn, a larger total amount of foot > .i iu..? and reed can oe prouucuu uum win corn alone. Velvet beans surpas all other legumes for this purpose ami therefore every acre of corn ii the state this year shouJd be plant ed to this crop.

IMPROVED CONDITION OF OUR LIVESTOCK: I Clemson College.?The reports of the Bureau of Crop Estimates show that there has been a decided decrease in mortality and general improvement in the condition of livestock in South Carolina during 'the past several years. Recemt figures from the office of B. B. Hare, South Carolina Field Agent of the Bureau, show that only 2 per cent of horses and mules, 3 per cent of cattle and sheep, and 5.5 per cent of swine died during the year from disease, exposure, or neglect. This is consid erably less than formerly, and loss than the average of mortality for the United States, except in swine, i thn notional swine mortality being about the same or 5.2 per cent. The condition of horses and mules in the s state on May 1 was 91 per cent of > normal, cattle and sheep 81 per cent, > swine 90 per cent, f "The decrease in mortality of i swine during recent years is attrii butable," says the report, "largely 1 to the activity of county agents of "? the Extension Service of Clemson * College in the use of serums, which f? have meant much in minimizing or n checking serious outbreaks of hog - cholera."
