Joio the Rsd Cross.
Membership in the American
Red Cross has passed the million
mark. Less than a year and. a
half ago it numberod only 30,000.
Since the declaration of a state
of war with Germany new mem
bers have been added in an un
ceasing torrent and it is to be
hoped! , that there will be no let
up to it. A million is a good
many, but the figure is far below
what it should be. Japan's Red
Cross boasts a membership of
two million. On this same basis
America's Red Cross should
number at least 3,500,000.
Ex-President Taft,. chairman
of the central committee, said
not long agD: "The American
people have as much generosity

Lula Allisou Gives Bond.
The coroner's jury convened
it the court house Saturday af-
ernoon and heard additional
evidence in the case of Lula Alli
son, charged with stabbing and
killing Annie VcCulloh in a dance
hall on Fisher street last
Wednesday afternoon, May 30th.
It seems the McCulloh woman
had gone to Statesville and was
in hiding, her whereabouts being
known to her husband. Upon
being arrested by the sheriff of
Iredell, Lula admittted that she
did the stabbing and although
other witnesses were present to
testify this was sufficient for the
coroner, to hold her for the mur
der and she was locked up to
await the September term of the
Rowan Superior court, she being
required to give bond of $1,500
by the suggestion of Solicitor
Hayden Clement, should she
wish 'to be given her liberty.
Her sister, Sallie Eccles, who
was also oemsr neid. lor tne
crime, was put under a $100
bond and other witnesses were
put under smaller bonds to in
sure their appearance at court.
Lula succeeded in giving the
required bond yesterday and has

Spontaneous Combustion,
Some people have supposed
tfhat spontaneous combustion is
a myth, but there is nothing
mythical about a fire loss of $5.-
463,822 in the United States in a
single year. When it is estimat
ed that this figure is 50 per cent.
preventable, it may be assumed
tnat sucn an estimate is very
conservative. The most fre
quent cause of spontaneous com
bustion is from allowing oily rags
to be kept in wooden boxes or in
contact witn combustible ma
terial. Certain kinds of oil have
a great tendency to produce
upon the least opportunity. The
public, has been warned times
without number of the danger
of carelessness in this matter,
but oily rags are so often found
in every household, factory, and
business building that the pro.
portion of careless individuals is
able to cause severe losses.

Restored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Enhaut, Pa. "I was all run dorcn nd
weak inwardly. I had female troubles
and nervous feelings
and my head both
ered me. I would
often have crying
spells and feel as if
I was not safe. If
I heard anyone com
ing I would run and
lock the door so they
would not see me.
I tried several doc
tors and they did not
help me so I said to
mv mother 'T eniess
I wiH have to die as there is no help for
me. ' She got me one of your little
books and my husband said I should try
one bottle. . I stopped the doctor's
medicine and took Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. It soon made a
change in me and now I am strong and
do all my work." Mrs. Augustus
Baughman, Box 86, Enhaut, Pa.
Why will women continue to suffer
day in and day out and drag out a sickly,
half-hearted existence, missing three
fourths of the joy of living, when they
-an find health in Lydia E. Pinkham's
