EX-PRESIDENT DIAZ IS DEAD General Porfiro Diaz, former presi dent of Mexico, died in Paris July 2, after an illness of about three weeks. His son said that he was unable to state the nature of the maladay, but thought that a compli cation due to advanced age was the cause. He had been in failing health for about three weeks, and although his death was not unexpected the cis is came suddenly. Owing to the troubled state in Mex ico it has been judged impossible to send the body home with all the cere mony which would have befitted one of the figures of American history. Not one of those whom he raised up as his assistants in governing Mexico and who prospered and grew rich in the shadow of his ereatness were with him when he died. Two of his sisters, 1 Senors Ignacio de La Torre and Kin-1 con Gallardo, now in Mexico, could not be informed of their father's death.

Here is an Asheboro storv that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us. Mrs. R. E. Woodell. Salisburv St.. Asheboro, says: "I suffered a great deal from a lame and aching back. My kidneys were weak and I had dull headaches. Being told that Doan's iudney fills were a good kidney med icine, I got some from the Standard Drug Co. Two or three boxes fixed me up in good shape." (Statement given January z, iU8). OVER SEVEN YEARS LATER Mrs. Woodell said: "I still hold a high opinion of Doan's Kidney Pills. I have never found anything eaual to them for backache and other kid ney disorders." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mxs. Woodell had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. WHAT TO DO BEFORE THE SCHOOL OPENS Diarrhoea Quickly Cured. "About two years aaro I had a se vere attack of diarrhoea which lasteu for over a week," writes W. C. Joneo, Buford, N. D. "I became so weak that I could not stand upright, a druggist recommended Chamberlains Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. The first dose relieved me and within two days I was as well as ever." Ob tainable everywhere. ALFALFA EQUAL TO OATS OR WHEAT BRAN Vnni. ft,- j..t.. ,.,:n J . ...... ucu.vslIawI i cc.iu you a bulletin on alfalfa if you will ask for it. Alfalfa is well adopted to this sec tion and our farmers shouldl know the value of alfalfa hay. We give it below according to the United States and the State Agricultural Depart ments. Read and think of this: Allfalfa hay is, pound for Bound. equal to threshed oats. It is better to grow alfalfa than to buy wheat bran. They are equal in food value, ton for ton. It requires less work to grow alfalfa than to grow other field crops. Growing animals and dairy cows need lime, and alfalfa furnishes most lime. Alfalfa is the most drought-resisting farm crop. Alfalfa does the most to improve the soil: (a) It roots deepest; (b) It gathers most nitrogen from the air. According to figures made public at the treasury department, the cor porations of North Carolina during the fiscal year just closed paid into the Federal treasury taxes aggregat ing $257,905.38. Individuals in the State paid an aggregate of $123,473, 96 into the treasury under the income tax law. First of all, the building should be. thoroughly cleaned and put in the best condition possible. The floors should be oiled and disinfectants used in ev ery room in the building. Any miss ing or broken window panes should be replaced, all hinges and locks should be well oiled to prevent any unneces sary noise. Desks and other furniture should be carefully examined for any needed repairs, and should be well dusted; transoms - cleaned, etc., etc. Any weeds which may have grown up around the building should be cut, and if not already provided, sanitary privies should be built. We cannot look too closely after the health of the children in our schools, for from these must come the future citizens of our republic, and no little of their success in after life necessarily depends upon the health of their bodies. I have often thought that some people really gave more thought and attention to the comfort and well-being of their livestock, to their horses, cows, pigs, etc., than to their own children. It is true beyond question that many parents never visit the school room where their boys and girls spend five days in the week, to see whether it is comfortable, sanitary well-equipped or properly lighted, leaving these things to be looked aft er by other people, if looked after at all, while they, or at least many of them, persist in looking after their livestock themselves. A water cooler should be provided for each room, and unless fountains are installed, each pupil should be provided with an individual drinking cup. How very often do we see a cold in school which rapidly spreads until practically every pupil in school and the teachers are effected with the disease. This comes largely from the practice so prevalent in many commu nities of all the children drinking from the same cup or dipper. A pan and at least a couple of towels should be provided for each room, together With a mirror, comb and duster. In build ings supplied with running water some of these things might be eliml nated. Then, when the schools open in the fall the patrons should see to it that fuel is prepared, and that the stoves are all set up and everything in readi ness for the convenience and the com fort of both pupil and teachers. C. C. Wright, in Progressive Farmer.

ALFALFA AS A REMEDY Dr. Alexander Blackwood, of Chi cago, recommends alfalfa for mental depression and indigestion. At a meet ing of the American Institute of Homeoppthy recently he told of ex periments made with the new remedy at a Chicago hospital. "During the past year observations were made of the action of alfalfa on 17 persons," he said, "all of them not ed that they' grew so hungry they could scarcely waff for their meals. Their minds were clear and bright, all bodily functions were stimulated and it was impossible to have the blues.'' Alfalfa is converted into a tincture, known as Medicago Sativa, and used internally.

HOW TO MAKE AND KEEP THE ROAD DRY STAY-IN-SCHOOL WEEK In New Orleans a Stay-in-School campaign has been organized to be conducted during a stated week in the school year. Not only are the schools and school officials called upon, but the press , civic associations, board of trade, alumnae associations of the high schools, and all citizens are urg ed to participate actively in stimulat ing interest and desire on the part of the boys and girls in school. Whether or not more children are kept in school because of the cam paign it is certain that the citizens of New Orleans know more about their schools and are more vitally interest ed in them than ever before. Why not do something similar in North Carolina ? Water, plus clay or ordinary dirt, when mixed invariably forms mud. On ordinary earth roads the rains and melting snow furnish the water and the passing traffic the mixing. The result is muddy roads. Take the water away or prevent it from mix ing with the clay or earth and but little or no mud results. In other words, keep your road dry if you wish it to remain hard, smooth and free from mud. Except in very sandy or arid re gions good drainage is the cardinal principle in the maintenance of gravel or earth roads. Get the water away from the roads as quckly and as com pletely as possible. Water naturally seeks the lowest level and you cannot keep the water from falling .on the road but you can assist its natural inclinations to get away. Keep the ruts filled and the crown with a slope towards the side ditches of from three fourths to one inch to the foot. The water will not collect to soak in and be mixed to mud by the passing traf fic. Keep the side ditches clean and with frequent outlets to get the wa ter away from the road completely. Do not let the culverts clog up or the material accumulate in the ditches and hold back pools of water to soak in and soften the foundations of your road. Water is an enemy that will run away if you will give it a chance. Do not neglect to give it every chance. It will pay and pay well. Like most other enemies, water is not very dangerous or destructive un til it collects in force. Therefore, get the water away from your road at every available opportunity and be fore it has sufficient time to collect in volume to be dangerous to the rood and do not invite certain disaster by making your culvert too small to care for the largest possible storm. Fur thermore build the culverts so that the water will of necessity flow through them and not find a way around them or under th,em. Proper ly designed substantial wing and end walls are the fortifications which pro tect the culvert from attack and de struction durir.g severe storms. Do not build dry weather culverts; build them with a view to taking care of and pro tecting the road during the worst possible storms. Make your road dry; build it hard and compact with a crown sufficient to shed water rapidly to the side ditches and with ample' culverts and drains. To keep your road dry main tain the drainage in good condition. Drag your roads after each rain; dragging fills in the ruts, smooths the surface and maintains the crown. On a road which has been dragged the rain finds no place to collect and soak into and soften the .surface. Unless the rain is of long duration the surface is softened but very lit tle. As soon as the rain has cersed and the road has dried so the clay surface is not sticky but while it is still plastic, drag the road over. ' Any depression or ruts which have formed during or after the rain are thus fill ed and the surface smoothed up and plastered over with a thin coat of clay or earth that packs and becomes very hard under passing traffic. Therefore, in order to make and keep your road dry, first provide for good drainage and then maintain the good drainage by systematic dragging after each rain. Dilligent attention to these points will in general insure an earth road fairly passable at all times and very good most of the time. WINSTON-SALEM MAN SAVED FROM DEATH J. E.

Bill Turner was a farmer, he la bored all his life. He didn't have no schoolin' and neither did his wife. But Bill was built for business and made the wheels go round, and left a healthy fortune when they put him under ground. He was always taking chances, paid a hundred dollars for a bull. His neighbors called him crazy, but he left a stable full of cows that broke' the record, making butter by the ton, an' Bill had his picture print ed in the Squeedunk Weekly Sun. He had new-fangled notions of making farming pay. He even bought a fool machine to help him load his hay. The neighbors fairly snorted when they saw the bloomin' thing; said Bill would never make it work, it wasn't worth a ding! Bill didn't say a single word, an' didn't care a darn "bout what they said, fer slick as grease, his hay went in the barn an. hour be fore a thunder storm came sailin' out that way and caught his neighbors in a pinch and spoiled their new mown hay. Bill's neighbors put their milk) in cans, and set 'em in a tank. Bill skimmed his milk with a machine and turned it with a crank. Smith chops his firewood with an axe. Bill used some gasoline and saws a hundred cords a day with another blame ma chine. Today Bill's wife rides in a car and dresses up in silk. Smith's wife rides a wagon and keeps on skimming milk. j
