1 BUY A LIBEBTY BOND. .
Liberty Loan
Holliday,
Saturday, October 12th.
The President and Governor proclaim Saturday, Oct.
12th, a holiday for work in selling
Six Billion Dollars Worth Of
Liberty Bonds
Manufacturers, Business Men and Everybody is appeal
ed to to buy and devote a day to the great financial task.
It is the greatest financial proposition ever undertaken
by any nation, but America can and will do it.
North Carolina's Quota Is $39,900,000
To reach this everybody must help and buy a bond—
place a bond in every Jiome.
Brave, strong, stalwart young men—the pride and idols
of fond fathers and mothers and homes everywhere have
given up everything, are enduring hardships and laying
down their lives for us at home. Those at home cannot
refuse to help with their money! .
North Carolina must go "over the top." 'Let everybody
help to the utmost. ' J
HAVE YOU PAID YOUR SUBSCRIPTION?
If not, under the ruling of the War Industries Board,
THE GLEANER to you must be discontinued.
It is not a matter of choice with us—it is an order made
by the Government—to stop sending papers not paid for.
Hence, if you fail to get a GLEANER this week, it will
not mean that either your purpose or ability to pay is
questioned.
Your renewal is requested—and, as soon as possible,
statements of amounts due will be mailed to all.

There has been much hard fight

Bully Bulgaria Contrasted With Bel
gium-Germany Will Quit
When Hard Hit.
Wilmington Dispatch.
To one knowing the '"nature of
the beast," it is not surprising that
the Bulgarian cries enough and
seeks peace when he commences to
feel the avenging hand of the one
he has tried to throttle. It is char
acteristic of the bully tint when
he is being whipped, instead of
whipping his adversary, ilia', he
shouts for a cessation. There is
little of the cunning mixed wth
the Bulgarian's present act of s ip
plianee. It Is largely of one
who is afraid. As as he couli:
murder the othor fellow and l.i'J.
his neighbor's property he wa:
brave, out the moment the HI.IKI
tion is reversed and h • finds that
the one he has outraged is strong
er than he thought he is not only
capable of giving him cjual battle
but of beating him and that hi'
own property is in danger, h * yell!
for peace. ,
There is no principle in'tha make
up of the Bulgarian. Therefor.? In
is willing to |uit when his gresd
cannot be satisfied and his ow.i
imperiled. Contrast his ntt ide
with that of the Belgian who se
lected to lass his home, to part*
wi h his business, to se • h's ch'iri' -
es and other temples burned and to
suffer nafony of and
body rather than to bbw tie knee

type, either. His mate wll be I' lUtl :

of Germany, then he, toa, wil 1

In the'case of B.ilgarlt it may
be possible to make peace upon en
tirely different terms than wi'H
Germany. Not thit Bulgarl i will
be allowed to go unwhippei by thr
assessment of rep-aratlan, but' 'h

THE EPIDEMIC OF GRIPPE.
Offical Statement By State Board of
Health. Disea6e Due Jo -
Swapping Spit.
The North Carolina State Boara
■of Health to-day issued the follow
ing .iii Rial statement on tlu ep,-
demic ol influenza that is swe*p
uig over the State:
-'the State ol .North Carolina is
in the grip of an epidemic of
grippe. Mhe disease is invading the
state from many quarters a» it
prevails throughout the United
States,! but the principal lines of
invasion seem to be from the sea
pom of Wilmington and Morfolk.
Already the disease has appeared
over the entire State, baing very
prevalent in the East, and having
established itself in a number oi
centers in the West. The indica
tions are that in another week it
wlli be generally prevalent through -
out the State. 0
'•'l he disease started in Spain in
May, ihisj'ear, involving 30 percent
of the population of tnat country
within a short time. Already the
disease has invaded and practically
passed through Europe. The rapia
lty with which it travels and the
large percent of the population in
volved indicate (i) the exception
ally contagious nature of the dis
ease, and (2) that with it public
health measures have little influ
ence. The only good fortune at
tending the present epidemic in
North Carolina is that it Will prob
ably exhaust its supply of suscep
tibles before its dangerous ally,—
pneumonia, arrives in force in De
cember, January, and February.
'"The disease is due to spit swap
ping. Spit is swapped or exchang
ed in the following ways: (a) By
coughing or sneezing into the air
instead of into a handkerchief. In
open coughing or sneezing into the
air instead of into a handkerchief
an invisible spray is thrown several
yards into the dair and floats from
30 to 00 minutes. The greater the
spraying, as in pß.vchic waves of
coughing that pass through assem
blages, moving picture shows,
churches«and other gatherings the
denser and more potent the infec
tious atmosphere; (2) by soiling the
hands with spit—very small, invisi
ble amounts— and transferring the
spiit to the hands of another per
son by handclasps, or by handliig
something, as a door knob or some
article from which the second per
son gets the minutes amount of
spit; (o) by using the common roll
er towel, contaminating and being
contaminated; (d) by using com
mon drinking dippors, co.rrfnon
drinking cups and common spit in
fected water from a common buck
et; (e) by using anything other
than paper cups, ice cream saucers
and spoons disinfected in visibly
boiling water, at soda fountains. A
great many soda fountains Viaiitain
a small collection of water prac
tically hidden beneath the counter
or slab where the spit germs of th'
town are pooled and re-distribt?d
Let any person, If he thinks it pos
sifole, to try and work oat in his
mind a more effective methi 1 fo*
the people in a village or town t"
exchange spit, the very microscope
amounts necessary for this power
ful contagion, than is b'>
a great stores, and one
will realize th? infectious fiotencv
of unsterilized glasses at soda
fountains.
As for sterilized glasses, w»ll
h"W do vou know they are
ed? Take no chince. Dam'na a
.paper cup even if it casts you
more.
DONT'S.
X. Don't associate with the im
polite and careless, who spray your
air with their spit.
2. Don't go to unnecessary nub
'lc gatherings while the epMeml'
is on. Put your moving picture
sh'iw money in thrift stamps.
4. Dont use a roller towal
5. Don't patronize a soda foun
tain that does not use paper cups.
"If yo*. get the grippe: Go tr
bed and stay there until yoa are
well, until your temperat'ir? bar
been normal for at least tw> days
If you are past 50, or If vou are
not strong, stay in bed 4 days afts'
normal temperature. Remember
the danger of grippe, is pneumonia.
Pneumonia is the penalty for dis
respect to the grippe that gets out
of bed too soon.
"In conclusion, public officials can
do little to protect you/ You can
do a great deal to protect your
self." b . 7

I BXJY A LIBERTY BOND.
Wanton, Wicked Waste.
Agnes Repplier «in The Atlantic
Monthly.
It was a shock to our- pride, no
less to dur feelings, when 'the Hon.
John Skelton Williams, Comptroller
of the Currency, told us in January,
1917, that our contributions to the
war sufferers of Europe,bad in the
two previous years amounted to
only one-twentieth of one percent
of our earnings.. We did hot give
stway our easily acquired money,
we spent it—spent is as lavishly as
every avenue of self indulgence
permitted. ,
The spirit of waste which ran riot
tp all our big cities, surpassed is
self in New »lfork, where it was
reckoned that 350,000 non-residents
assembled lost winter to teach the
residents a needless lesson in prod
igality. It was what the proprie
tors of the hotels and cafeß strik
ingly described as a fush season,
meaning a time when spending
money was the first considA-ation
of the guests.
A profound contempt for cost
swayed the crowds which gather
ed day after day and night after
night, wherever wealth could be
Squandered. The great jewelers
smilingly confessed that never be
fore had they done such a thriv
ing business. Nothing they could
produce was too extravagant to
find a purchaser. The sptctacla
of iwdll dressed hordes eating annd
drinking all they could possible
hold, and far more tban nature
(neant them t!) hold, became weari
somely familiar.. Interesting sto
ries went the> ltiund about Western
men who were so fortunate as to
pay S3O apiece for theatre tickets
and about western women who, jy
energy and determination, succeed
ed finding $25 bios for their little
children to wear.
Side by side with thesa
ating anecdotes in the papers were
brief statistics which told us of
Polish women dying of starvation,
their little children starved long
ago, of typhus fevei\ raging in the
hunger stricken towns of Belgium,
,of Armenians devouring carrion as
did the Jews in the siege of Jeru
salem. It is but a little world to
show such sharply contrasted pic
tures. .

WATCH FOR - LICET AND MITES
Unless Parasites Ara Controlled They
Have Marked Effect on Number
of Eggs Produced.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Poultry raisers should be on the
lookout for lice and mites, for they
get busier than ever with the coming
of warm weather. Vnless they are
controlled at this season they will
have a marked effect on the number
of eggs produced by laying hens, and
the number of chicks raised. Poul
try houses should be thoroughly clean
ed, whitewashed, or sprayed with kero
sene or kerosene emulsion at this sea
son. The hens should also be provided
with a good dust box, and Insect pow
der should be dusted among their
feathers.
Mites usually stay In the cracks of
the henhouses and under the roosts in
the daytime, where they lay their eggs.
At night when the fowls go to roost
the mites come out of their hiding
places, attach themselves to the fowls,
and feed by sucking blood from the
birds. To get rid of them the houses
shoul4 be cleaned end sprayed thor
oughly, including the nests, the drop
ping boards, and roosts. The poultry
house .that Is kept clean and has plen
ty of sunlight and ventilation Is usual
ly free from mites. Immediately after
cleaning the house should be white
washed or sprayed. An effective white
wash is made by slaking one-half pCck
of lime In 20 gallons of water. Add
one pound of salt, previously dis
solved, and two quarts of crude car-'
bollc acid, or one gallon of stock dip,
and apply the mixture with a spray
pump or brush. Kerosene, crude oil,
or some good preservative manufac
tured from coal tar, sprayed about the
Interior of the house, especially In the
cracks and crevices. Is an effective
means of killing mites. If kerosene Is
used It Is necessary to continue to
spray every 10 days or two weeks
>
C
Dusting Louse-Infested Fowl.
throughout the warm weather. The
effect of crude oil or wood preserva
tive Is much more lasting.
Inasmuch as lice spend a greater
part of their time on the fowls, the
most effective treatment Is that which
is applied directly to the birds. The
cleanliness of the honse, however,, Is
of 'equal Importance If the lice are to
be gotten rid of entirely. The two
most practical methods of lighting lice
are dusting or using a paste or an oint
ment Provide a good dost box con
taining a mixture of road dust or wood
ashes and allow the hens to dust them
selvea. Dusting the hens by hand is
effective and is especially recommend
ed for setting hens and fowls that are
very much Infested with lice. A good
homemade dnst or louse powder is
made by mixing together one and one
half pints of gasoline and one pint of
crude carbolic add with four quarts
of plaster of Paris. Allow It to dry,
crush to a powder, and work it well
Into the feathers by hand.
One of the roost effective ointments
used to destroy lice Is a mixture of
equal parts of blue ointment with vase
line or lard. Mix these Ingredients
thoroughly amf apply a small portion
(about the size of a pea) to the top
of the heed, under the wings, and
around the vent.
Note—Blue ointment should not be
used on hatching hens and small
chicks.
All eggs iuieutlcd for hatching
should be gathered soon after be
ing laid and kept where they can
not become overheated or filled.
By turning twice daily, eggs may
be kept as long as two weeks in
cool weather, witli good results,
but they should never be held
longer than that.

Here is the amazing story of a
man who had been given up as a
victim of pellagra and who wan
dered through the principal cities
of the South in an effort to find
relief. It tells how, after seven
years of suffering, be finally dis
covered a natural herb medicine
that did what uotiiing else seemed
to have the power to accomplish.
It wiped out his disease, accord
ing to the words of his own signed
statement, llere it is:
"The doctors in Birmingham,
Ala , and Atlanta, Ga„ diagnosed
my case as pellagra. I thought I
would die as most patients do.
But they treated me seven years
and all the time I gradually grew
worse.
"I saw in the newspapers how a
new herb medicine called Dreco
bad been discovered and how it
was helping so many other suffer
ers from various diseases, I de
cided to try it.
"When I began on Dreco the
skin on my hands was cracked
open and lny'siouiaeh was swollen
to twice its size. After taking
three bottles of Dreco all these
symptoms have disappeared, my
appetite is improved and I can
eat anything I want. lam now
ablo to work and was promoted
today to be foreman at $8.17 a
day. I have gained six pounds,
too."

Mr. Kiftcaid is a native of Ala
bama. At the time of signing
the abovo statement he was em
ployed by Porter Brothers, con
tractors on the Bush Bluff Gov
ernment Works.
Dreco, referred to" by Mr. Kin
caid is an herbal medicine made
from roots, barks, herbs, and ber
ries.' It contains no mineral salts
or acids and is recognized as a
valuable body reconstruclant and
system invigorant.
Dreco. may now bo obtained
from modern drug stores and
pharmacies almost everywhere
and-is particularly recommended
in Graham by Graham Drug Co.
We Are Learning.

Another reason for growing corn
is that not only have prices gone
skyward but the South has learn
ed to make coin. A few years ago
we didn't know how to make it,
and with the methods we then
used, it would hardly havo paid
us to produce much corn at any
price. But just take a look at out
yield per acre now as compared
with ; twenty jf ears a g° —l9l7 as

One of the best soiling crops for
the South is the cowpea. It is
also very succulent and relished
by a large number of farm ani
mals. When fed green to cattle
it will iucreaso the production of
milk, and it is a line crop for hay.
