There is a line by us, unseen, That crosses every path, The hidden boundary between Clod's patience and his wrath. There comes to every life a time ot choice, nn answer to Rive, and like Pilate the Kornau governor, we can- J >not escape the question; 'What shall I do with Jesus, which is called the Christ ?" In giving his answer he crossed this unseen line and went to I his eternal doom, and SS this ques? tion crossed his path ever since it J crosses the path of every one who hears the name of Jesus, and will go echoing down the sands of time, and ' on our answer will hang our eternal I destiny. And now In this our day there comes a question, the answtr to Wl jftl means, not only the happiness ?>r misery of millions in this world, but for all eternity. "Am I my broth er's keeper." Our tlnal Judge says ere are. All history of the past says I i we are. Hut here cornes a man and' says: I am opposed to prohibition. | I believe In personal liberty, and 1 am not Interested in the elccHon of Sep? tember 14th; I expect to stay at home, and let them light It out. None of my boys drink, and I have no in? terest in my neighbors' or friends' boys, and while some people may say 1 am like the man who said grace, "lx>rd bl?SM me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four und no more," It does not make any differ? ence to me. 1 am a free man. When a man or the editor of a great daily paper In this State says "I am op . posed to prohibition." They say in plain Knglish. They arc In favor of the liquor traffic. For it naturally follows when there is a question of right and wrong, there arc only two roads. One leads to heaven und hap , plness, the other to perdition and ruin. Now this la the question for each \oter to ask before casting his vote in favor of the manufacture and sale of alcoholic liquors. What Is its record in the past, and what is it do? ing today. Come with me to the house of mourning. See that brok? en hearted mother weeping over the coffin of a pitiful looking object. Uloated and bleared out of all sem? blance of a man; hear her pltlous 1 wall. My son, oh, my son, my bright eyed handsome boy, the Joy of my heart and hope of old age, gone to a drunkard s grave. The fruit of the liquor traffic. Header stop ami think before taking part by your vote in this hellish traffic. This may be the end ! of your own boy if whlskev wins in this coming election. It has been ot -many In the past. Corse with me to the prisons In all this broad land and see the sad wreck and ruin of i poor fallen humanity largely the work of the liquor traffic, made so by some body'i vote. Come with me to the insane asylums und see the poor, driveling idiots, some of them once anely educated men and women.

Let's try the >lry goodH stores, and we get the same reply, How about a Job on the rail? road, and the reply Is "My deaf sir we can t afford to put the lives of our passengers In the hands of a drink? ing man." Why need we go any further; for the times have changed, we live In a fast age,* und all positions of trust and honor are fast (dosing to the man who drinks?

Charleston Post, "fleeing is believing,' and it Is upon this basis that the United Rttaei Du- ] roan of public health has instituted a campaign for the absolute eradication i>f pellagra ?t the Kpworth Orphanage In Columbia, B. c. according to i>r. Joseph Qoldberger, head of the de-j partmenl of pellagra research of that, bueniUi sayi The Savannah News, who Is stopping at the De Soto hotel. This work at the orphanage at Co? lumbia Will take the form of a demon? stration to those who have tried for the last eight years to do away with pellagra at this Institution and have not succeeded. Instead <>f decreasing the number of cases each year, there were more at the end of the last year than at any other time, it is asserted. "Naturally," said Dr. Goldberger in speaking of the coat of this undertak? ing, "it is going to cost the govern .ment some money, but it ?ho?vs, when we agree to furnish part of the diet necessary for the treatment of polla grins. how thoroughly we are convinc? ed that the disease is brought on sole? ly by Improper dieting, and because we are positive that with a well-bal? anced diet pellagra can be absolute? ly done away with. The work will be begun about September 1. "I can not emphasize too strongly the fact," said Mr. Goldberger, "that pellagra is not communicable. Of course there are a number of its phases that have led many to believe that it was contagious or infectious, but from our studies covering a great period of time and carried on under all conditions, we are certian that j then; Is nothing of u communicable nature to pellagara. "To further clinch the argument that pellagra can not be communicat? ed from one person to another take the results of our experiments upon the monkeys we have at the hospital. "We have inoculated these monkeys 1 with every kind of disease and they take it rapidly, yet when we inoculate them with pellagra they ret use to take it. Bmpallpox, whooping cough, measles, in fact ulmost every kind of a disease h is been tried on the monk ,eys and they have always been sus? ceptible, but with the pellagra there Is nothing doing. . .By the fact that they du not take pellagra, while they do take away Other disease, it is prov? en almost conclusively that pellagra is not communicable." ? Dr. Goldberger visited Savannah this time for the purpose of conferring ?with Doctors Uidhm and Francis on the work done out?by them in the study of pellagra, and the making of their report on their researches, which will form a part of the report to be made by the bureau of public health upon the pellagra question. "However," wild Dr. Goldberger, "tho government is not going to wait until Its report is issue!, before it tackles pellagra and checks it, but has [secured enough practical results from '. the studies made of the disease, to enable the bureau t.e go ahead in its campaign for the eradication of this disease. "Own a cow," is still the slogan oT the department of pellagra research, and if the farmers can be educated to ;the point where they realize that by owning a cow, keeping It in good con ' dltlon, and Using the milk derived , therefrom, they are lessening the chances of thidr getting pellagra be? cause of their one-sided diet, the de I partment believes that it will have } 4 ,done something towards stopping the ravages of pellagra. Of course milk i alone will not prevent pellagra, but I when the farmer has milk, aid eats meat and eggs Instead of selling them ,k> tho city folks, he will never have j pellagra, the experts say. j In describing the work to be done I at the Bpwotrh Orphanage at Colum? bia. Dr. Goldberger said it would be nothing more than the feeding of the '250 Inmates of the InetiUtlon on a diet prescribed i>y the bureau of pub? lic health. This diet, which includes foods of varied sort and of high nu? tritious value. Is the one that has been (tried on inmates of other institutions in the country with the result that af? ter a time, pellagra has been wiped out ! entirely. "Of course." concluded Dr. Qold? berger, ".lust because a man who has pellagra decides to eat a rational or well balanced meal once in a while, is .no sign be Is going to get lid of the disease. The idea is to teed the pa? tient on the diet for a fixed period of time and let him have nothing but this diet. Then When the treatment is over, the patient will be free from pellagra, but as long as he returns to I the foods that he bud been specialis? ing on previous to his being given the government diet, he will lay himseli liable to getting pellagra again. "The liest plan." said Dr. Goldber? ger. "It is to c d plenty of ne at and eggs ;ind drink milk. I).. n,,; ,.;,t tool much of Just one kind of food And you will never have pellagra. Anl mats are given balanced rations to make them healthy end keep them In good condition why shouldn't Iho same thing apply to the human being." I CONTCBKNCF **OH COMMON GOOD.

The **tate Conference of Chanties And Correction will hold its annual mooting at Columbia September 7-*\ , next. In harmony with this meeting j and In conjunction with it will also be held the Conference of Common Good which excited so much interest two years ago.

Mr. Whlttaker Is at pres? ent the manager of the District of Columbia Work House and is perfect? ing some methods that have attracted wide attention throughout the coun? try.

WHAT IS CARNEGIE WORTH. Income From Bonds Alone Amounts To $210,000,000. j Philadelphia Ledger, j When rumors were flashed over the j land again one day recently that An? drew Carnegie was dead the query on everybody's Hps was: "How much money did he leave?"

The economic legislation he worked out and put into operation before the war commenced was sim ply marvelous old age pensions, In- i I surance against unemployment, un? earned increment tax, and a number of other experiments he carried to1 success were simply marvelous. But as a warrior he has showed up still larger.

Happily, however, the fault finders and agitators are ia a lean and low minority.

Tho injunction to "swat the fly" has become general all over the country. I To this In the last few years has been j added the additional injunction to swat him early. Spring fly campaigns j.are now a feature of the public health work in many of our cities. An es? pecially effective popular movement ? in this direction is now being carried jon in Detroit, under the direction of 'the local board of health. Taking ad vantage of the human fondness for rivalry and competition, the boys of the different wards and sections of the city are being organized under one chief junior sanitary inspector and 'twenty-four junior sanitary inspectors. ! Under each inspector are from live to [seven captains. Under each captain I are from two to seven lieutenants. iThis furnishes a force of twenty-four inspectors, 125 captains and 000 lieu? tenants. Each lieutenant has as many patrolmen as he can enlist. In all. over 1,000 boys are enrolled in this movement. Each of these young health workers is provided with a suit? able and imposing badge. Each lieu? tenant is provided with a map of his district which he returns, showing all manure piles, uncovered garbage re ? ceptables, breeding places for flies and ;other insanitary conditions in his dis? trict. Restaurants, meat markets, I milk depots, bakeries, etc.. are visited at intervals, and a report is made on all the flies which can be counted in a certain number of minutes. The re? ports are all tabulated on a large [map at headquarters, so that a com? parison is always possible between dif? ferent districts. The conduct of the work and the discipline of the junior i force are us far as possible left In the j hands of the boys themselves. This [movement Is an Interesting illustra? tion of the growing tendency on the ; part of health officers to utilise the public and to work along recognized psychologic lines. Probably every boy of from 12 to 10 desires above all tlungs to be a policeman and to wear n badge, if he cannot fight crooks, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, the next bent Hung is lighting flies.

CJenesou College Weekly Notes for l ainicrs and Dairymen. (These notes are prepared by the Dairy Division of Clemson College, which will be glad to answer any questions pertaining to dairying.) The silo owner does not tremble when pastures begin to dry up. Are you selling any of your cream to the soda-water fountains in to^vn? "liest" and "best looking' do not mean the same thing when applied to dairy cows. In order to be a goc i producer, a. cow must have a big feeding capacity. Feeding is as important as breeding ir. dairying. A well-bred cow poorly led will give little better results than a scrub. You don't know much about your cows until you weigh their milk and test it with a Babcock tester. Keep? records. What Is more profitless than a "boarder" cow that consumes more money in feed than she produces in milk and calves The best way to make additions to the dairy herd is to raise those heifer cab es which show the points of good milkers. Yes. indeed, dairying is quite a complicated business and it takes a \ man who can and will think to be a i successful dairyman. Do not change milkers frequently i When a cow becomes used to a milker, ? j a change will reduce her milk produc ? tion until she becomes ust. to the new ' milker. Be good to yo?r cows during this [ hot weather. If pastures go dry, pro? vide them with extra feed. Protect ; them from flies by the use of some good spray. ( J This is the time of year when sp .c j ial care must be taken in the dairy to , produce clean milk. Disease germs ! are abundant now and they will be in ! the milk unless precautions are taken.

New York Herald. \ A new calendar with 13 months In \ the year and requiring all persons j born after the 28th of each month to find another birthday, is proposed by ' the Rev. H. P. Hames, who preach? ed yesterday at All Asgels' Church in West Eighty-first street. , Christian forces favor the change, j Mr. Hames says, in the interest of j labor, of trade and of general world advance. He says he is receiving ' many letters of indorsement from j j clergymen in Great Britain and in j the United States. He proposes that '? the calendar be put in operation at (the close of the war, thus signalizing ' to the world that even Russia has i abandoned her old calendar and join i ed with the world in a new one. Mr. Hames' calendar is unique. He I adds another month to the year and j calls it "Holiday" for lack of a better I name. The new month's name Is ten? tative, he says. In the new scheme of things each month of the year contains 28 days. i Each month begins on Sunday and ends with a Saturday. This arrange? ment provides one extra day in the year and this day or these two days in a leap year would be added to Decem? ber and both be made holidays. i The calendar provides that all holi? days shall fall on Mondny and that Faster shall be a sationary feast on the third Sunday in April. Mr. Haines came to the United States 12 years ago from England. He was ordained a year and a half ago and came to New York in September. "There is no society behind my proposed calendar,'' he said yesterday. ' The plan is my own, but it seems to have met a need. It is based on church calendars to some extent. Hav? ing Chirstmas always in the middle i of the week will be one of its advan? tages. "While it seems radical to talk of ^hanging the calendar it is really not the first time the calendar has been Changed. When there are advantages t?? be gained, why not change?"
