BOY BUILDING.
Right Food Makes Fine Boys.
Many people have questioned the
truthfulness of the statement that the
brain can be really nourished and built
up from some particular kind of food.
Experience is better than any kind
ot theory.
The wife of a prominent legislator
in Kentucky says: "A woman of my
acquaintance was in a badly run down
condition at the time she became a
mother, and at three months of age
the child was a mite of humanity piti
ful to look upon, with no more brain
development than a monkey.
"About the time I speak of when
the child was three months old the
mother began feeding him Grape-Nuts.
"In ten .days it was plain that a
change was taking place and in a few
weeks the boy became rosy, healthy
and rounded out.
"He is now five years old and his
food this entire time has "been Grape
Nuts and cream. He seldom ever
takes any other kind of food.
"It is a splendid illustration of the
fact that selected food can produce
results, for this boy is perfectly form
ed, has a beautiful body and arms and
legs of a young athlete, while his head
and brain development appears per
fect, and he is as bright and intelli
gent as c?.tl be.
"I cannot comprehend a better illus
tration of the truth of the claim made
for Grape-Nuts, that it is a brain and
body builder." Name given by Pos-
tum Co., Battle ureeu, Michigan.
Alderman Krueger reported a falling
off of about 30 per cent, in taxes on
dogs for this year. .
Alderman Faison, on special com
mittee to investigate ice plant, said
he had visited the ice plant and
that the ice people were now using
only city water and that the ice com
pany was heating the water 385 de
grees Fahrenheit. Dr. Faison said
that taking these facts he was will
ing to accept the ice as it is now
made.
Mr. P. H. Williams was called in
and said that from June, 1905 to
June, 1906, the company had used
about $30 worth of water, but for
three months this summer the bill
was over $400.
Dr. Faison called attention to the
good showing made as a result of
the new milk inspection law. lie
paid the one and three-cow dairymen
were the ones who were giving the
trouble. "I want Dr. Fisher to un
derstand we are at his back and ex
pect him to do his duty," declared
Dr. Faison. "I want him to go
further and test every cow in the
city that gives milk." I want this
report made public and that we let
the owners of cows know we are
going ahead whether we hurt any
body or not."
Dr. Fisher's report was adopted and
is asfollows:
Dr. Fisher's Interesting Report.
"Mr. Mayor and Members of the
Board of Aldermen:
"Up to date 428 cows have been
tuberculin tested, of which number-42
have shown a positive reaction, with
three suspicious. Mr. Dotger's cow
was killed by myself, the post-mortem
showed a calcified abscess In the
mesenteric lymphatics. The city paid
$9.00 for this animal. Mr. J. H.
Robinson had a Jersey cow to react.
Twelve dollars and fifty cents, one-
naif , value, was the amount agreed
vpon between Mr. Robinson and my
self, and I would like the board to
authorize that amount paid. This
was a fair valuation, In view of the
fact that Mr. Robinson has had to
feed this cow for five or Six months
waiting for her to come fresh.
"Mr. McD. Watkins is now - plac
ing lumber for the erection of a feed
ing barn. He hs Installed a new
two-horse-power boiler, two cleaning
tanks and a bottle-washer. The bot
tles are placed in water, and boiled

This method is best we have been
thoroughly cleaned by the washer.
This method is the best have been
able to "Revise, and until I can make
trip and inspect new appliances for
this purpose, it will be continued.
Mr. Dotger and Mr. Kirkpatrick pur
sue the same methods, and I am en
deavoring to have steam under pres
sure employed in as many more of
the dairies as I can convince that
that is the only means we now have
for anything like sterilization. Mr.
Berryhill is just starting in the busi
ness anew, building the necessary
buildings, etc.
"I have requested Mrs. Kerlcy to
build a dairy house, place a floor un
der her cows, and make a solid par
tition between the cows and horses.
Charles Peeler, a colored dairyman,
has been requested to build a new
barn before winter. He is now milk
ing his cows under' the trees, and a
barn will be absolutely necessary
when bad weather sets in, as mud,
Girt and manure will get into the
milk if the cows are compelled to
stand and be milked in the open
during winter. I also requested him
to clean up his present barn, which
now used by his father, who has
six cows. lie miorms me max tney
are his individual property; that the
city has nothing whatever to do with
them; that he sells his butter to peo
ple practically living in the country,
and feeds the buttermilk to the hogs,
and that he has nothing whatever to
do with his son's business. The son
yells sweet milk and buttermilk and
he informed me that his father sold
Lis butter to Biddle University. How
much is sold in the city I have not
learned, but it seemed to me that it
would be advisable to request him to
clean up his place, and stop washing
milk utensils in or near the house.
Mr. P. H. Williams has also been
requested to make repairs in his
barn before winter. I have noticed a
marked improvement in the way he
ittends to his business since the
cairy laws went into effect. On three
three or four different occasions,
when he was not suspecting my pres
ence, I have found nis place ciean
and well kept. He built a dairy
house, bought a cooler and is trying
to comply with the requirements to
the best of his ability.
Mr. J. H. Robinson has fifteen
ows, four in one end and eleven in
he other, with horses in the middle,
f a poorly equipped barn to handle
milk. The ceilings are so low that I
could not stand upright. The cob
webs were there in numbers, with I
cotton seed hulls hanging between
the cracks in the ceiling. Seven
cews stand on a floor, the rest on
the ground. From the present condi
tions it will be impossible for Mr.
Robinson to keep his place dry and
i lean, especially in winter,, when the
cows will be compelled to stand in
the barn during a greater part of the
day, so I have requested him to make
some arrangements looking towards
using another barn (which needs re
pairs) or build a new onecomplete
iy. Hot water is used to sterilize
the .milk utensils.., , . ..,
"I am having very little trouble
with the larger dairymen; the small
ones are the bane of anyone's exist
ence. There is not the least doubt
but that everyone should be required
to .observe the ordinance, the big and
little. I am . unable to stop trafficing
in milk in the city unless the board
gives me that authority, and it cannot
be done unless a few are -prosecuted,
and yet, as I understand it, the board
desires me to let the one and two
cow men alone and only look after
the big fellows, which, as they con
rider it, is unjust, and I, myself, am
of the opinion that eyeryone should
be treated alike. As a. matter of in
formation. I should like the board
to request the health department,
through their sanitary officers, to
make a canvass of their various
wards and report the number of
cows now being used for supplying
milk to their neighbors. I have been
asked to do this a number of times
since the law went into effect by a
number of the dairymen and private
citizens as well, and I simply place
the matter before you for such ac
tion as you may see fit to take.
T am satisfied that monkey veal
is , still being butchered and sold in
Charlotte. I have no positive evi
dence at this time, or I should have
certainly prosecuted the ones caught.
Men are, still buying calves from
three days to a week old from the
dairymen, who are not-going to raise
them, and the only thing I can see is
hat those calves are bought for veal
A central slaughtering house would
ctop the practice quickly.
"Tests are now being made for the
specific gravity, colostrum blood and
pug cells, dirt, and butter fats. From
the samples examined so far I have
been unable to find anything wrong.
Samples of water will be taken from
each water supply of the various
dairies and analyzed by the State
chemist, who has sent us fifteen con
tainers for that purpose. I shall se
cure these samples and submit them
all: together at the next meeting of
the board."
Alderman Ward reported for the
special committee on opening of
West First street and said that the
committee recommended the opening
of the street between Mint and Cedar
and that subways be erected at cost
of ' the railway, unless the Four C's
ehould use same for their tracks to
the river. The street is to be fifty
feet in width. -
An ordinance previously presented,
passed its second reading after which
the city attorney suggested that
i mendments were necessary. City
Attorney Harris later presented the
ordinance as he thought it should be
in ' legal form after which the or
dinance was adopted. This means
that the -streets will be widened
and that property owners abutting
'n the proposed street shall donate
land and in case of refusal the usual
proceedings shall be instituted. Two
i-ubways will . be built under the
Southern and C. C. and A. Railways.
Dr. Faison introduced an ordinance
o require all physicians tending
lover cases In Charlotte township to
leport same and also give in other
data relating thereto. Penalty for
violation $50. The ordinance passed

The board then took up; an impor
tant matter, the election. of a water
commissioner, Messrs. , R. H. Jordan
pud D.. A. Tompkins yvere placed in
r ominatlon. The result was . Jordan,
'; Tompkins, 2; D. P. Hutchison, 2.
Mr. Tompkins, it was explained was
not a candidate for the1 position.
Alderman Kruger for the finance
committee reported for four months
the expenditures and income of the
city from various "sources. The re
port showed a healthy condition of
affairs.
Alderman Dowd, for.--the sewer
committee, stated that he had sold
an old boiler for $100.
Dr. Faison, for the- health com
mittee, said much pressure was be
ing brought to bear against hogs In
town, within the city " limits.
Dr. Faison moved that samples of
water be secured by Dr., Fisher at
once for analysis, the motion being
unanimously adopted.
The report of the city electrician
was next heard, showing tne usual
number of permits, inspections, etc.
and indicating much activity in that
hne. Two fires during August were
caused by defective wiring.
Mr. C. E. Bradshaw said that con
siderable fees were overdue and
wanted to know what should be
done. On motion of 'Alderman Dowd
the city electrician was instructed to
collect all back fees by Sept. 10th.
On a " call for a report from the
committee on extending the city
Lmits, the Charlotte township trus
tees were added.
Alderman Ross spoke of the lack
of system in announcing trains at
Ihe Southern passenger depot and
said the road was treating the peo
ple badly. A motion was adopted
that a committee consisting of

were named to see the railroads first

Special The News. - t.-
Statesville, Sept. 4. 'That Congress
man Blackburn expects " to derive
much benefit from the .speech which
Secretary Shaw will deliver here,
11th inst. is the opinion of. the po
litical "knowing ones" hereabouts. It
is believed by many that Mr. Shaw's
coming was designed from the be
ginning to help the campaign of the
spectacular.,, congressman. .frprn,,"Pe
Ate." There is, no question that E.
Spencer is sadly in need of assistance
from some quarter. His refusal to
meet Hackett in joint discussion has
killed a good part of the enthusiasm
the representative's followers have
had, and has shaken T;heir confidence
in the "Drummer Boy's" courage and
fibility. How Spencer has managed
to keep alive thus far, the mountain
eers' belief that , he. ; is , not afraid of
man or devil, is passing strange.
During the past two or three weeks
Dick Hackett has been speaking at
the school houses in this and ad
joining counties, and his honest, elo
quent talks to "the.-"boys" have put
great enthusiasm into the Demo
cratic campaign. The people be
lieve in "Dick," as he is almost uni
versally called in 'the " western coun
ties, and many prominent Republi
cans in Wilkes county are declaring
for him through the Wilkesboro pa
rers. The radical paper published
there (The Patriot)- endeavors to be
little the Republicanism and stand
ing of these "Hackett Republicans,"
but their number is constantly in
creasing and includes many steadfast
Republicans who have been honored
by their party with positions of trust
and responsibility. ;
If the Democrats do - their duty
Hackett should win by at least 2,000
majority, and I do hot think his ma
jority will fall below a thousand.
Col., H. C. Cowles, clerk of the
Federal Court here, and at Charlotte,
would only express the opinion that
the race "will be close." - Col. Cowles
stated that the effect Secretary
Shaw's speech .would have on the
congressional campaign would, of
course, depend largely 'upon the char
acter of the speech.
Almost everybody-- believes that
J udge Furches . was induced to make
the race for the State senate in
Iredell solely for the purpose of. as
sisting Blackburn. The ; judge has
hung himself on to "air ' issue that is
all but dead, and nobody believes
that he will be able-to put any life
into the carcas. I" refer to his oppo
sition to sundry parts of the present
liquor law.
The personal popularity of Mr.
Furches and the great respect the
people generally have for him, are
expected by the' radicals to carry
his, and incidentally, Blackburn's
vote a trifle higher., than the Repub:
lican vote, usually gets in this county.
However, the speech wnicn feenator
Bailey will makehere this rail Is
expected to more" than offset the
effect of Shaw's effort and Demo
crats do not believe; Judge Furches'
candidacy will swell Blackburn's
vote to any appreciable extent. .
It is pretty safe to say, so far as
things political may be safe, that the
Eighth Congressional District will be
