Jjbf Matter. THURSDAY. APRIL 18. 1985 Local interest develops overj the circumstance of Miss Ruby j Hodges having been crowned] queen of the Spring Blossom Festival at Southern Pines. And while The Democrat felicitates the young lady on the distinction which comes to her, it would insist that it is Boone, and not Southern Pines as was reported.1 which has provided the comely j Queen of the Blossoms. THERE IS YET HOPE District Engineer James 11. Councill tells The Democrat that he is still harboring a hope that something in the way of a permanent improvement may come to the Laurel Crock road within i a reasonable length u? time. Mr. Councill's hope is bolstered by! the fact that North Carolina is to get something like nineteen mil-1 lions of dollars in money for such j purposes out of the Work Relief j Bill, but until construction mon-j ey is actually made available, lie) stales that only the usual main teiiaiice wOi k can be expected.. In fact, due to the unusually; rainy spring, even this work has had to be largely suspended, and as a result sections of the roadj arc now almost impassible. Mr. j Coimciil will put the highway] back into its usual condition as fast as weather permits, but he has impressed the fact upon the division engineer that something must be done in the way of betterment on this road in the near future. If he finds it impossible to get the project included in the construction program, he purposes to use his influence in every way possible to get funds with which to make the present grade a passable thoroughfare in any usual sort of weather. CLEAN-UP NEEDED '['he high winds of the first of the week brought forcibly to the attention of local residents just how dirty and trashy the town has become. Packing cases, light boards, paper, and every conceivable sor t of r ubbish was tossed hither and yon by the gusts of Tuesday, and merchants of the town had extreme difficulty in many cases in keeping the en trances 10 tneir shops ciear of the debris. And while the weather of the past few weeks has not been conducive to a clean-up period. there is scant excuse for such a condition to exist. The burden of a clean city is not a responsibility of the government so much as one upon every individual property owner. Just why rubbish in such volume is cast down to clutter up an otherwise ideal little town, remains one of the civic mysteries. To say the least, such individual thoughtlessness constitutes the most unfavorable sort of advertising for a community which has tourist possibilities. When the annual clean-up takes place, there should be a common purpose to keep Boone clean?and it will be spotless if each citizen looks after his own premises. FULL UP Boone has had more visitors this winter and spring than at any other like period of the year in its history. Only recently a stranger was forced to look for accommodation in a private home, when he had found all hotels and boarding houses crowded. There are no vacant houses, and last week a gentle man pleaded almost in despera-] tion for the arrangement of an] apartment in a printers' domi-| cile. Kxactiy what has broughtj about this condition is not apparent. but it's a condition just! the same, and one which will become decidedly more critical with the usual population increase during the hot months. Some civic-minded group could render a great service by constructing some houses in town, and the investment would yield a handsome return. Under pres-j ft - THE BOOK .... the first line of which reads I "The Holy Bible," and which con] tains Four Great Treasures .... By BRUCE BARTON ST. PAUL. In the list of names voted for in this scries, the very highest name *4~t tVmt of Tpwis was Saint hguil. Practically every ballot was [ marked for him, as well it might have | been. Paul was born in Tarsus, a univcr| sitown in Asia Minor near the ! northeast corner of the Medtterra! nean. He knew something of classic literature and philosophy, but whe| ther he attended the local college we [do not know. He was sent by his parents. who were Jews of fho strictest ; sect of the Pharisees, to be trained j [ by the famous teacher of the Phari- | i sees, Gamaliel. | We first meet him at the stoning' of Stephen when he is "a young man j named Saul." We last see him in prison, "Paul the aged," waiting for the sword of Nero. Unconquered by his j imprisonment and peril, lie towered : triumphant over circumstances in the | assurance that he had fought a good fight and kept the faith and finished I his course. His conversion must have followed j within a few months after the ston- J |ing of Stephen. That ardent young: i friend of the Gentile element in the | infant church left a greater success- j or than he could possibly have sus peeled in one of the men who voted j for his execution. He was "not disobedient to the hea. I venly vision," says the story of his j conversion. Starting to preach in a! preliminary way at Damascus, he j seems to have felt almost immediate i ij mt; nttu xvi , cum >" ? ?V??VH*UI covery that ho was peruana nor. grata to the disciples and must seek a field j of work afar. (Acts 22:17-21.) It must j have been a heartbreaking disillus- j I ionment hut it was one of the great- \ I est blessings that ever happened to | the world. For if Christianity had stayed only in Jerusalem it would hardly have survived beyond the lives I of the men who saw it start. Paul made three notable missionary journeys beyond the borders of Palestine He was arrested in Jerusalem in April, 56, at the time of the Passover, that being his fifth visit to the city since his conversion a quarter of a century before. For two years he was in prison in Caesarea (Acts 24:27), was nearly half a year on his way to Rome, being shipwrecked, and two years in prison in reiative comfort at Rome. Afterward there was apparently a release followed by another and fatal imprisonment. recorded in Second Timothy. For I am now ready to be of| fered. and the time of my departure is at hand. Next Week: Paul's Spirit Marches On The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GATNES I PEPTIC CICER?TREATMENT We do not operate for peptic ulcer until all manner of medical and dietary care has failed. My letter has nothing to do with operative measures in this disease This from experience of many years: First?SOFT DIET. I care not what it is, just so it is soft. Jt must be something without tough skins, seeds, , grisliea, haru fibers, shelis of grain, and the like. An ulcer cannot?will not heal if rubbed over by hulls of grain, lumps of celery1 radish, of hard meu jiiim or steaKS. If you don't observe this rule, there is no use in my giving you any other. As a rule so-called digestive medicines are effort wasted in ulcer. Your stomach may be all right, except at the point of ulceration. Your promlem is to soothe the ulcer while itj heals. T do not give tablets, capsules i or pills if my patient has ulcer. Nothing hard or solid. Food Is improved by CGOKINGtough fibers are broken down?and the nutritive value not lost by cooking. I recommend the cooking of milk and of milk products. "Evaporated milk" is more likely to be acceptable than raw milk; it is sterile, and. is less likely to form indigestible curds as does untreated milk?and is fully as nutritious. Often evaporated milk agrees when raw milk cannot be given without distress. Cream is useful. Ice cream useful, but ice-cold should not enter the stomach. Melt it in Ihe mouth. To actually treat the ulcer, T resort to heroic doses of BISMUTH. It is insoluble, hence an ideal coating for ixn uicer. lmrty-grain doses are not I ! too much?of the subnitrate. I usualjly combine it with a gentle, mineral | astringent?and a pain-reliever if I needed. And, T have cured many uli cers?lakes from one to three months. W. S.

BACKS TOWN SEND PLVN Editor Democrat: Tito Tft?TngflnH Ol.l Aw PAn.cInn Rill probably has attracted more attention throughout the United States than any other bill ever written and presented to the U. S. Congress. The very spirit of it is now only in its infancy the seed have and are being sown which are destined to germinate and spring up into a mighty crop as time goes on. and the stand taken the one way or the other is being more closely watched than on that of any question ever heretofore [presented to our most excellent Congress. The battle for its passage, if expressions are to be the guide to the sentiment of our great masses, certainly indicate at least 75 to 00 per cent for it, and each and every thinking and considerate man and woman who believes in a government of the people, for the people and by the people. with equal rights to all and special privileges to none, is keeping tab of the way each and every representative. both in the lower and upper house, casts his vote and influence on the great question. We most heartily approve the very !>t\st plan to put American money into channels of circulation and then kee.p it going its round to the end that each and every member of our great country, from coast to coast, shall share his part, and particularly after he has reached the three score period, or 60 years of age. and all the very germs of gangrene in the most remote nooks and crannies of our land; ami this would, henceforward, be a solid guarantee against a future panic or depression. as each calendar month the amount paid to the aged shall be spent and sent on its mission or round and by it with no hoarding of thousands of dollars, indebtedness roil Id bp PAncpllfvl \iritH r?nr?h Hnllur and miserv pains relieved from center to circumference.
