Shot Four Ducks In The Air.
We have heard of a rather re
markable duck shooting that ac
curred a few days ago. Two broth •
era went ont with their gans.
Six ducks were discovered in a
stream. The gunners tried to get
close enough Tor a shot but failed.
The ducks rose and were about to
pass over the head of one of the gun
ners, who had a five-shooter. He
turned loose on them, four shots
taking effect and four ducks were
falling earthward before the first
one nit the ground. The other
brother fired at the other two and
brought one of them down. The
accuracy of the statement is well
Touched for and names could be
given. With such gunners on the
\ firing line the Kaiser's subjects
would stand little show of getting
J way.

Thousands of thoughtless people neglect colds every winter.
A cough follows; they get rundown—then stubborn sickness sets in.
Sickness can be prevented easier than it can be cured and if you
will give your system the benefit of a few bottles of
ssnifti
you will find your whole system strengthened. It will fortify your lungs
J a. and throat and enrich your blood against rheumatism. It is
powerful concentrated nourishment without alcohol or opiates.

Mr. v Hughes went ouCv with

State Food Administrator Wants
Names of Dealers Exacting
Unreasonable Profits
for Foodstuffs.
Charlotte News.
. "That the North Carolina board
of food administration at Raleigh,
headed by Henry A. Page, is not
a figure-head board, but one of
the most active departments in the
State at present, and that the
bourd is raking the whole Stato
for violators of the food adminis
tration rules against profiteer
ing," is the deelaiation made by
John Paul Lucas, executive secre
tary of the board, who is spending
the week-end at his home in Char
lotte.
"What is the limit set by the
State food administration board
on stogar"? Mr. Lucas was asked.
"We can't let anything pass
where a charge of 11 (eleven) cents
is demanded; anything under 11
cents is all right," replied Mr. Lu
cas. "If sugar is sold under 11
cents, we have nothing to say, but
that is our limit."
Asked how the board operated
the machinery of price control,
Mr. Lucas said the board desired
that all cases of profiteering or of
supposed profiteering be reported
Ito them, with names given, aud
that the board, upon receipt of
such complaiuts, immediately
warned the alleged profiteer that
he mu«t quit right then and there.
"Most of those whom we have
occasion to call down," said Mr.
Lucas, "have complied at once,
so that wo have not had to go as
far as an indictment or the taking
of drastic steps, but it was be
cause they all did stop that we
have thus far avoided any extreme
measures. We want the people to
report to us any cases where thore
U reasonable evidence that a
dealer, grocer or handler of any
kind of foodstuffs is, in the words
of the food rules, 'EXACTING MOR3
THAN A REASONABLE PROFIT ON
ANY FOOD COMMODITY,' for those
who are making such exaction are
violating the food laws."
Mr. Lucas said that the ma
chinery of the law, when in prac
tical operation, carried first a
warning and then the revoking of
licensos, in the case of those doiifc
SIOO,OOO business or over. In the
case of the.small grocer, Mr. Lucas
said that the food administration
would first warn him, and if that
did not immediately en£profiteer
ing, 'the wholesalers, jobbers, or
auy other House selling such small
grocer, would be automatically re
quired to cease selling such small
grocer.
