C. fi Jißu, HI /4llW I^Pl' - IP" •■! wjl Children will fret, often for no apparent reason. But there’s al ways one sure way to comfort a restless, fretful child. Castoria! Harmless as the recipe on the wrapper; mild and bland as it tastes. But its gentle action soothes a youngster more surely " than some powerful medicine that is meant for the stronger systems of adults. That’s the beauty of this special children’s remedy! It may be given the tiniest infant—as often as there is any need. In cases of • colic, diarrhea, or similar disturb ance, it is invaluable. But it has everyday uses all mothers should home.

Menden hall of New Hope township were bereaved last week by the death of I their aged mother in Gaston county. I The former, if not the latter, at tended the funeral. Mrs. Mendenhall was 78 years ol age. She leaves her aged husband and six living children of the ten born to the union, 48 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. The main part of the family is in Gas ton county, Messrs. G. C. and G.' Y. being comparatively new comers in Chatham. Mrs. Mendenhall’s great grand father, Hugh Williamson, was one of the signers of the Meckenburg Declaration, while her grandfather, Col. John Hill, played no small part in the War of 1912, and when the Mexican War started her father was one of the first to offer his services at Charlotte. No one has cause of more patriotic stock. " His captain wrote of grandfather Hill that none was braver and no more cheerful in the performance of his duty than he, and few died more heroic death than his at Getts bnrg. The pastor of the Olney Presby terian church, of which she had been a member since girlhood, con ducted the funeral services. He was assisted by Dr. W. A. Baird, pastor of the Glenwood A. R. P. church, Charlotte. A life is ended that will leave behind it for generations green memories of kindly services to all with whom she came in contact. One brother, Mr. J. D. Hill, of King’s Mountain, survives her. — <$> — MRS GREGORY ENTERTAINS U. D. C. Mrs. Julian M. Gregory enter tained the Winnie Davis Chapter of the U. D. C. Friday afternoon the 17th at 3:30 o’clock.

Johnson. Mrs. E. R. Hinton, and Mrs. C. C. Hamlet were ap pointed to draw resolutions on hei death. A rising vote of sympathy was extended to Mrs. J. H. Gordon.

MEXICAN JUMPING BEANS A CURIOSITY <§> They Jump, Wiggle, Crawl and Flop Over The first start in life of this Bean Bean is from a flower or blossom, which blooms on a small tree. From this blossom it materializes into life enclosed in a cone or shell, resem bling that of a chestnut. At a certain season of the year, it becomes ripe or gains its full capacity of strength and falls from the tree, kicking it self free from the cone or shell in which there are always three live Beans. Scientist are unable to give any reasonable explanation for what pur pose nature created this curious Jumping Bean. From the inception of this flower, they are born, live and die in their own shell and maintain life and are , active from 6to 10 months. There is no real value attached to this curi ous Bean, only as a novelty. How ever, it is claimed my some of the na aives to be a very rich morsel of food for the GILA MONSTER. You will find this bean to be very sen sitive to the sudden change in tem perature, for instance, placing them in the palm of your hand, you will notice they lie still for a moment, but when they realize you are not going to crush them and the tem perature of your hand becomes suit able to them, they at once become very active by jumping up and down. One of the oldest Gambling Games in history is yet played by the natives with the use of this little Bean. Each person (as many as like) lays down a coin of-any denomination, and each person holding a Bean will place it on his coin, all at a given signal. Th? first bean jumping off the coin is winner of all the balance. This is one Fair and : Square Game and is enjoyed by all the players. ; _ This Bean' is found in the tropics i in the remote part of a mountainous; country at a high altitude. Trees bearing the Bean this year, in one locality, may not possibly bear again in thre'e or four year. Hence j the scarcity of this mysterious little Bean, makes it impossible to get them in very large quantities. A small sprinkle of water every few i days, makes them more active and prolongs their life. Mail orders filled at the following ! prices: 3 Jumping Beans for 25c; 7 for 50c; 15 with game board for SI.OO. Hamlet News Publishing Co., Hamlet, N. C. Adv i Still More Millions Treat Colds Direct Round-About Method of “Dosing” Gives Way To Modern Vaporizing Salve More and more people each year are giving - up the slow, indirect way of treating colds by “dosing” with internal medicines, and are adopt ing the modern dived treatment - j Vicks Vapoßub. . j Vicks goes dived to the aifectea. parts and checks the cold in two ways its medicated vapors, re- . leased by the heat of the body, are inhaled dived to the inflamed air passages; at the same time it acts dived through the skin like a poul tice or plaster, “drawing out” tight ness and soreness. Vicks is especially appreciated by mothers because it is just rubbed on, and therefore, cannot upset » children's delicate stomachs as “dos ing” is so apt to do. Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless “dosing.” To keep pace with the ever-grow ing demand, the famous slogan, “17 Million Jars Used Yearly,” was raised to “21 Million” a short time ago. This figure too has been out grown, as there are now “Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly”—a jar for every family in the United __ States.
