Wh jn a girl becomes a woman, when a woman becomes a mother, when a woman passef4hrough the changes of middjfc life, art tae three periods of life whetf health? an strength are most needfd to withstand the pain and distress? often gCausad by severe organic disttf-bancesl At these critical times womm are bestfottifie by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favfrite Ilrescription, an old remedy of froved worth ithat keeps the entire fenple system perfectly regulated and in excellent condition. Npt a patent ajiedicine because this old jprescrition of Dr. Pierce's has its ingredient published on wrapper, i Mothers? if your daughters are weak, lrlromhinnn ar trmihlrti with IukwI- achejjL lasjitude add are pale and sickly. Dr.

Pierce's Favorite Prescription is just what they Jieed to surely bring the Moo of health to their cheeks and make them strong; and healthy. HIGH PI IN tvf clearly perceive the need of further statements from him, more definite, more particular, more specific than any ne Has yet vouchsafed. for example, he is denouncing Dr. Wilson's administration for its unmanly failure to uphold American ideals." If asked what American ideals the administration has failed to uphold the colonel would now point to his Trinidad interview of March 9 and to his Oyster Bay declaration of April 5. From these two documents, and from similar utterances of the colonel's, we merely learn that "every American citizen must be for America first." But this is also what Dr.

Wilson says. We merely learn from the colonel that no citizen has "any right to be in the United States at all if he has any divided loyalty between this country and any other." But President Wilson has also been insisting on this principle with all the force of rhetoric at his command. The colonel declares that he abhors an unjust or a wanton war; Dr. Wilson also loses no occasion to make known his abhorrence of such wars. The colonel "would use every honorable expedient to avoid even a just war." President Wilson's friends are praising him for the employment of every honorable expedient to keep the country out of what millions of Americans would regard as just wars.

The colonel declares that Uncle Sam must never wrong the weak; but this article of faith has a prominent place in Dr. Wilson's code. The colonel insists on the need of national preparedness for war. His remarks on that subject seem but a paraphrase of what Dr, Wilson has been saying of late of Congress and the country. If Colonel Roosevelt Is to differen tiate his ideas of American policy from those of the statesman whom he attacks for unmanly failure, it is in-disDensable, In our opinion, that he should communicate to the public his exact reasons for denouncing as un manly," as "base," as "hypocritical," as "Infamous" the efforts of the pres ent administration to avoid even a just war in Mexico or with Germany.

LIVESTOCK FARMING, BIG AND LITTLE. The table in this issue presents the value of livestock and livestock products per farm worker in the various states of the Union. The table Is baa ed on the number of farm workers in each state as shown in the 1910 volume on Oceupatlons, and the total value of (1) animals sold and slaughtered. (2) wool and mohair, (3) honey and wax, (4) poultry! products. and (5) dairy products, exclusive of milk and cream produced and used on the farm, as shown In the 1910 census vot ume on agriculture.

Remarkable Variations. Lovestock products per farm worker in 1910 ranged from $27 in South Car olina and $36 in Mississippi to $i9i in Iowa and $911 in Wyoming. In the South where per capita couu try wealth ranges from $231 in Alabama to $830 in Oklahoma, livestock oroducts per farm worker range from $27 in South Carolina in Mis sissippi to $226 in New Mexico and $228 in Oklahoma. In South Carolina and Mississippi only a fifth of tho farm incomo Is derived from livestock farming; in Oklahoma 43 per cent of. it.

The states in the Union do not rank in per capita country wealth uniformly according to livestock products and the per cents of income derived trom this source but it Is fairly clear that leflciency in domestic animals is a cardinal weakness of farms in the South, and is related in a general way to our small per capita farm wealtn. Livestock and animal products pre duced in North Carolina in 1910 averaged $54 per farm worker, and our rank in this particular was 43rd. Five states, all of them in the Cotton Belt, made a poorer Considering the total populations to be fed, our production of livestock products ranged from $7 per inhabitant in Richmond and Carteret to in Dare is omitted in thio statement, because i's population Is almost wholly a seafsrinst people. Our bill for pork, beef and mutton, eggs, poultry, cheese and butter Imported Into North Cnrolina year by year runs into the millions of dollars: and these millions would remain at home, for the most part, under a bet ter balanced farm svstem. We have made most wonderful gains in farm animals of all sorts since 1910: but our average farm income from this sourcn is still too small only a third of the total, upon an average, in 1915.

Two-thirds of it is still derived from the sale of raw crops. University News Letter. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. fluth Hill and others to N. M.

He died at the University of California hospital, a victim of the "white disease of the paleface. For several months the aborigine, who was captured in the wilds of northern Butte county in the summer of 1911, had been in ill health. A year ago he developed acute lung trouble and at times he suffered greatly, bearing his pain with the stoicism of his kind. Just a few minutes before he passed away, Ishi joked with Curator Gifford of the affiliated colleges. At that time he was in agony.

Final relief came with a hemorrhage. Left Hoarded "Fortune." Ishi, who never had seen any money of the white man until he was brought into civilization, left what he considered a fortune in worldly goods about $350 and personal effects. With the common desire of all California Indians Ishi labored to accumulate wealth. Unlike the members of most tribes, whose standing is rated by what they give away, Ishi, with the characteristics of California and British Columbia Indians, hoarded his pennies which he earned in various ways. His estate was taken In charge by the public administrator.

Ishi, living the life of a savage in Butte county, stole a calf in the summer of 1911, and officers of the law ran him down. They were amazed to discover the thief was a primitive creature, clad in animal skins and armed only with a bow anil arrow. The prisoner was taken to the Butte county, jail, and it was there that T. T. Waterman, assistant professor in anthropology, pronounced him to be the only surviving member of the lost tribe of Deer Creek Indians of the Yano line.

Origin Made Him Famous. The scientific world was greatly interested in Professor Waterman's announcement, and Ishi became famous. He was brought to this city and lodged at the affiliated colleges on September 4, 1911. After months of patient effort Professor Waterman was able to talk with Ishi. What he learned from the captive left no doubt in his mind that lshl really was the last of the savage tribe of Deer Creek.

Ishi adapted himself to the ways of the white man. He built himself a home on the grounds of the affiliated colleges, where he was the object of much curiosity. He attended lectures by Professor Waterman and other savants of the State University. In May, 1914, Ishi took Dr. A.

L. Kroeber, head of the affiliated colleges museum, and Dr. Saxton T. Pope to Butte and showed them his former haunts, reverting to his skins and bows and arrows. The report of Dr.

Koeber and Dr. Pope confirmed the belief of Ishi's descent. DOZEN EASTER VISITORS ARRESTED IN ROANOKE. Wednesday's Roanoke Times carries this story about the Easter visitors from Winston-Salem: "Roanoke won't see me no more till I'se seventy years old," sadly Bpoke a Winston-Salem darkey as he issued from jail Tuesday afternoon and prepared to leave the city.

Bob Gearv picked by Manager Martin Dudley to win the opening game of the 1916 season from Charlie Clancy and his Terrible Twins from over Winston-Salem way, turned the trick in fine style yesterday afternoon and blanked the husky visitors without a single run. While Bob was tantalizing Clancy'i swatsmen with his assortment of curves, his team-mates were wielding tneir Dig sucks very effectively on tlie delivery of Roy Mellinger, a young lefthander, who started to do the twirling work for the Twintown aggregation.

Six hits were dished out by the port-sider during his sojourn on the mound and after seven innings of work lie waj relieved by Harry Baumgartner, who was not in much better form. The Dutchman gave the locals two blows in the one inning he worked. Melltager's greatest tuble was wilunebs. He passed tho first two men to face him, one of whom scored a few minutes later withe the first nineteen-sixteen run. Baumgartner was also wild.

It wasnt long before Joe gave way to Atkinson, who fared little better.

Announce ment is made that the Erlanger Mills will besin at once the erection of 80 new bungalows, each of distinctive type, to care for employes enough to double the output of the giant 11. V. D. textile plant here. As soon as th new homes can be erected the mill will begin running day and night.

Seventeen acres of additional land has been purchased and some of the new homes will be erected on this. Electric lights, running water and bath rooms will be provided in all the new homes and every, provision made for easily keeping sanitary premises. The new development means the same thing to Lexington as would the build ing of a new mill of the same size, which would cost at the present price of material upwards of seven figures. Announcement of further big development at the Erlanger, which is regard ed by experts as probably the finest textile plant in the world, will be made as soon as plans can be completed. PRISONERS ATTACK ALLEGED SLAYER Lawrence, Kansas, April 27.

This city was excited today after the de parture of a mob of nearly 200 men who came here from Topeka In motor cars last night to lynch Fred Bissell, alleged slayer of Edna Dinsmore, ten years old, in Topeka. Reports that members of the mob had gone to Lansing, where the ac cused" man had been placed in the Kansas State penitentiary for safe keeping, were unfounded. The body of the girl was found in a vacant house which had been set on fire, on Tuesday afternoon. Bissell admitted he purchased candy for the victim before the body was found. Prisoners Attack Bissell.

Lansing, April 27. Angered by stories of the murder of ten-year-old Edna Dinsmore, in Topeka, Tuesday, two hundred prisoners today attempted to attack Fred Bissell, suspected of committing the crime, in the penitentiary yard.

GETS JAIL TERM FOR DRIVING AUTO WHILE INTOXICATED Statesville, April 27. Gillespie Ov- ercash.

a resident, of the Shepherd's community, was brought to jail here to serve a 30-day term for driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. He was sentenced from the recorder's court at Moores-ville. It is understood that friends made a desperate effort to save him from jail, but that inasmuch as it was a "repeated" offense the court decided to take a firm stand, and would not relent. Overcash is well known in South Iredell. Return Home.

Mr. and Mrs. I. T. Rominger left Easter Monday for Indianapolis, where they will remain for a while looking after some business interests.

Iter they will probably locate at Hope, Ind. The couple spent several months in this city. Mr. Romiiiger's father was a native of this section and the tar heel spirit seems to cling to the son, for he was much pleased with our people and progress and it would not sur-prise us some day to see him and his good wife "pitch their tent" permanently among his kith and kin in this section of the Old North State, and they would receive a most cordial welcome.

Mr. L. E. Mitchell, a printer, who i for the past two weeks has been boarding the Neil Hotel, and employed at the Winston Printing company, has been missing since the fire which destroyed the hotel this morning. Conflicting reports have been circulated persistently all day, that he has seen on the streets, but no one can be located who could vouch for his safety In fact the belief this afternoon is that his body is probably beneath the smouldering ruins of th.

building. Mr. Mitchell came to this city about two weeks ago from his home at High Point, where his family still resides. He was last seen in the hotel as he went to his room to retire between eleven o'clock and midnight. Before he retired he told his friends that he was not feeling well, and on accoun.

of being hard of hearing, and because of his age, his friends are apprehens ive. Mr. Mitchell was a printer. -bout 55 years old. Mrs.

Hill state! this afternoon that she had not seen him since the fire; that he had been complaining for several days. She thinks that he possibly may be sheltered somewhere In the city because he was not a sound sleeper, and t'1e voting men that occupied rooms in the farthest ends of the building, and standing smaller chance of escape, got out safely. Mr. Sam Mitchell, son of the missing man, phoned here this afternoon to Inquire about his father, but nothing could be learned.
