METHODISTS TO RAISE $125,000,000 THIS YEAR , i- ; .. That the Methodist Church has un dertaken the biggest thing ever -attempted by any - protectant1 church seems evident from the. facts handed out at a District Conference at the First Methodist church last week.

Reverends M.v T. Plyler, former Presiding Eldei of this District, and J. C. W6oten, for mer pastor of the First Church, were here to contribute their share of en thusiasm to the meeting. Rev. TR.

While those in charge of selling stamps will do everything possible to encourage individuals to, purchase them, the Treasury wants the purchase to be a free will action on 'he part of the in dividual because he is convinced of its benefit to him. The Treasury officials point out that, where employers have paid their help in part in Thrift Stamps many, of- the workers regarded it as an actual reduction in wages. Still others although they wished the stamps, nev ertheless regarded ' payment of wages other- than .money as an unwarranted interference with their rights and the wage scales Others resented the prac tice, did not save the stamps and simp. ly resold them, so that no. lesson f thrift was taught and the government was not benefitted, A HARD HIT EDITOR A Newsy was standing in a down town street i, doorway . in Nashville Tenn., sobbing piteously in .expecta tion of getting rid of his papers tc' some chartibly-inclined person unused and nothing to eat in the house.'

" . To see that the school children pf North Carolina shall be given treatment necessary to their proper physical de velopment is the field ot. work that the Bureau of Medical Inspection of Schools of the -State Board -ot . Health has chosen for its future work. This Bu reau of which Dr. Geo. M. Cooper is Director, . has - announced that it has only one axe to grind, -one hobby, one obsession, and that is that -every de fective child in the "State shall be giver the physical treatment it needs to give it an even chance in life In looking over the number as well as the causes of defective children in the State, Dr. Cooper found that the most common cause was bad teeth and dirty mouths. The records of the ex aminations given school children show ed that at least 75, per cent of all school children in the State had defective teeth. . Less, than 10 per cent of these , had ever visited a dentist except for the purpose of having an aching tooth extracted. . Ninety out of every 100 parents had made no effort to have their children's teeth treated by a den tist. . . - . . Er. ,Cooper recognized- - that dirty" mouths and bad teeth should be his first work.- It was - what the children needed most,- He set about to do this, by providing free dental service for all school children. On July .15, six den tists were employed and these were put tp work. in. six counties off ering , free dental treatment to the school child ren. Since that time, 527 free dental despensaries haye5 been held and6,678 children have een treated. In addition, more lhan 100 lectures on oral hygiene have been , given. The 'clinics wereheld in. the counties .of .Robeson, Forsyth, JVilson,. : Lenoir, Davidson, Caldwell, Nash, Northampton and Guilford. The cost ,was divided , between the counties, the State Board -of Health, -and the In-, ternational Health Board, and , aver aged -fifty cents per person treated.

New York and San - Francisco and "in England but has never been south of the Mason-Dixon line. Mrs. Sanger believes that Federa: statutes which prohibit birtlv control information should be repealed and this vital information made available to the women of the poor even as it is now a vailable' to the women of the rich. The subject is one of 'great human interest and Mrs. Sanger never fails to get- an audience whereever she appears. Personally Mrs. Sanger is a very at tractive, cultured and pleasing woman. She has a beautiful voice for speaking and knows her subject. Attempts to suppress her usually result in failure There is nothing in er lecture to offend even the most "critical. The exact date of-Mrs. Sanger's appearance in Eliza beth City will be made known later. It is a good idea to keep up the eat ing ' of food not entirely, made from wheat throughout the country. The whole grains are best ,in the long run and the habit of seeirg" everything 'white in cakes, bread, , etc. is something that will benefit- our stomachs the sooner it is overcome. ' Barley and rye are good for a great er' purpose than that for which they are now used most abundantly liquors They are good to eat with our meals not in the degenerate state but in the whole nourishing state where all : that is originally found in the kernel is there. - Test of True Friendship.
