There is no medicine known that will cure tuberculosis, and those who patronize the firms or individuals who advertise to cure this disease not only squander their money, but throw away valuable time. Every consump tion cure is worthless, and poten tially dangerous. Messrs.

Revenue Officers Make i Raid In Catawbi County and Land a Fifty Gallon Still Moonshiners Swam to Safety. Hickory, April 28. Late Sat urday afternoon Deputy Sheriff J. P. Burns and Revenue Officers Jones and Bandy raided a still near Wright Bros.' store, 17 miles southwest of this city and captured and destroyed a 50-gal-lon copper still and 1,500 gallons of beer, together with other fix tures. The still had been in op eration for about two weeks and from appearances had been run ning day and night. As the offi cers stole upon the outfit two men were seen working at the place. At about the same time the men saw the officers and as the still was in such a place that the only way to reach it was by the path in which the officers were coming upon them on one side and South Fork river on the other, the moonshiners chose the only place left for them to vacate the river. It is said that they did some powerful swimming to reach the other side, where they disappeared over the hill. Their names were not known. Keep Your Money. A new fake consumption cure is born every week, and, as some one said, a sucker is born every minute. Supply and demand, in these two instances, seem to run a riot The supply of unfortu nate consumptives and the de mand for these false "cures" are rivals. The race is nip and tuck. But how are we going to head off such a race? Pure food and drug laws get an occasional fakir, but it is only an occasion al one, scarcely a drop in the bucket. With all "consumption cures" founded on fraud and flourishing on fear, the ever hopeful but susceptible consump tives is robbed of his money and robbed of his chance of life. But what care the "consumption cure" companies? It is good business. . The only prevention for such wholesale robbery is education. Yes, just that Education will banish the old superstition that for every ailment there is a "specific." Education'will teach those having consumption that their only assurance of a cure lies in their strict obedience to the laws ot hygiene, with un: limited fresh air, rest and food. When this is done, why there will be no more demand for pat ent medicine consumption cures, and the dastardly business will stop. But we must educate, and the only' way to do this effective ly is through health departments town, county and State.

That's What Bill Hepburn Was & Might of Been Burned to Deth-All a Result of Bill's Appytite for the Demon Rum. Six Health Suggestions For May. Newton,'" April 30."- After months of talking and hard work on the part of the members of the Farmers' union of Catawba' county, their dreams in regard to a union warehouse will be realized. Already the greater part of the stock has been secured by - the different local unions; others are subscribing and it is thought now that every local in the, county will take a part of the stock. The warehouse will be i built at Newton. A location has not been decided on yet but it will probably be built on the rail road so as to save much necessary hauling of freight Winnipeg, Man., April 30. -A heavy fall of snow was, general throughout Alberta Province to day. Seventy-five percent of the Spring wheat in Southern Alberta is above the ground. Clean the barnyards, stable and chicken-yard again. ... Spread the manure on the fields. This is the time of year when manure does most good on the fields and most harm about the house. ; 7 2. Get a home cannerr" Start with the cherries and let the wife and the girls can all summer. Home-canned goods are better than store stuff and cheaper by far.-:- : 3. Screen a porch for sitting out One that is shaded in the evening is best. Sit out there where the flies and mosquitoes can't get you.- Eat out there, too, Sleep out there if you can. It is lots cooler than the coolest room in the house. '4. Get the wife a fireless cooker, or make one of a lard tub and some straw and a tin bucket. It saves chopping wood t keeps the kitchen cool and cooks' better than the stove ever did. 5: Make a big fly trap, big as a barrel, -bait it every day with fresh bread and milk. "It will catch a bushel, of flies in a week or so. . 6. Take another look at the rain-barrel and the horse-trough, looking for wrigglers. Big mos quitoes come from little wrig- glers. - DR. A. W.

Bilf Hepburn, our artistik blacksmith, when he Jjs not under the inflooence, of licker had a narrer, escape from being distinguished by fire last'Satterday ey'e.'and while it lasted , Bineville was in throws of, excitement which was horrible ' to witness. Bill was burnt some as it is, and is a sadder, but wiser man, we hope. It was a good eal like this: , ., Bill he went to the countyseat last Satterday and bought a haff gal. of licker and started home in his pung, and being as it was tum ble cold.' Bill tuck several swigs: from the jug and by the time he reached. Bingville'.h'e w wamv and noisy. Evverybuddy knowd he wuz coming when he wuz a mile out of town becuz he was" asingin ' 'Sweet Bye . and Bye!" in a voice that could be'heard'clean over .in.to Scraggs Township. Well, when Bill drove home his wife unhitched the hoss arid tried to get him (Bill) into the" house, . but Bill said he was agoin "down to Hen Weathersby's stbre'tb nave some fun and so he tuck the jug in one hand and started in the'jniddle of the street, which wasn't scarce ly wide enongh for him," but he tried to make it do. Bill got along all, right, tilt he. met - Miss Amelia Tucker, Bing ville's leading soshiat.lig;ht,,in front of Harve Hines' barber shop, and as soon as Bill recognized Amelia he straightened up and tuk off his hat and, macje a deep towi .' saying,.

( ... , .'... . 1 .''. Just as Bill went to. make .the bow, "however,' he bent too fur over and slipt on the ise and throwed forrerd his hand to save his self and smashed the'jugfof licker, and most of it splashed over his person. Bill, he got uj) i to his. feet without knowing- hardly what had happened he, was so dazedyr and his hat fell off and he couldn't find it so he felt into his pocket and got holt of a match and struck it on the seat of, his. pants so as he would have a light to look for his hat by, and soon as the match. struch, his clothing, which was soaked with rum, as you might say, it tuk fire and in a second Bill was inflaimes. ' .... -' When Bill realized that he had ketched fire he run around in a serkle a cupple of times hollerin "Fier!" at the top of hfs voice and everybuddy rusht oitj qj Jtheir houses and the boys all come out of Hen Weathersby's, steand. when Bill saw em he started right tords em as hard as he could run and when they see him coming they started to run tother1 direkshion, becuz they was afeard Bill would ignite them, also, and Hen Weathersby run into his store and lockt it up for the same neason, becuz he ain't got . no inshoorance on the store, and by this time Bill was a little bit more soberer than what he had been, and he saw Seth Dewberry, our lion-hearted town constubble, and he started for Seth and hollerd to him for goodness sakes put him out, and Seth he run from Bill, and hollerd back that if he didn't pause he would a rest him for resisting a of ficer. .;:, .:..:). j v By this time Jed Peters, our intelligent school teacher, happen ed to come along, and seeing that Bill would be burnt to the ground and become a total loss unless something was did, Jed, with great presence of mind,, snatched a pairfrom Hen Weathersby's store porch and run to the town pump and filled it with worter and dasht it all over Bill distinguishing the fiaimes with one fell swoop. The cold wOrter made Bill still more sober and like to of froze him to deth, and as soon as.the fire was out he started for Jed for throwing so much worter .on him, and if Jed hadn't of run Bill would of ketched hinvand'give him a good wallopin. As soon as the fire was out Bill went, home and Doc Livermore was cald, who examined him critical and found that he was burned in two or three places and slapped linseed poutices on to him and made him go to bed.
