Photos for Christ-
mebs Presents!
You, no doubt, have among
your most cherished possessions a
picture of your father or mother.
Maybe it is only old-style tin type,
but just the same, you prize that
picture more than its weight in
gold.
Did it ever occur to you that
your picture might be equally as
much prized by the members of
your family?
How long has it been since you
have had a good photograph made
of yourself?
The art of photography, as well
as other arts, has advanced in the
past few years as wonderfully, in
fact more so, than a great many
others.
The day when you used to dread
a visit to your local photographer,
where you had your head held in
XK)sition by an old time head rest
long enough to make your picture
with an old time lens, is forever
gone, and in our^ studio you will
find tho very latest and best equip-
ment, thereby enabling us to do
the very best of work.
Don’t you think RIGHT NOW
is the best time you could select to
have that picture made of your
self, or of some of the children?
Christmas will soon be here, and
it would surprise you to know just
how many people give their photo
graphs for Christmas presents.
Why should they not, for what
better remembrance could you ask
than the likeness of some relative
or very dear friend ? So why not
make up your mind to come up
and see the latest styles that we
are now showing, and let us make
picture before the rush begins.

The milk-card board In Fig. 1 is
provided with screweyes to hang up
on hooks outside of the door at which
the morning milk is delivered. Fig. 2
shows a pattern for the board, but be
cause milk cards vary in size you had
better measure the card for which the
board is to be used, to see that it
fits, before you begin work. The mar
gin around the card should be about
as in Fig. 1. Bevel the edges of the
board as shown. Then prepare the

brads along the lower edge of the
board for the card to rest upon. Give
the board two coats of shellac, var
nish, or paint; then when it is dry,
screw four hooks into it at the points
indicated (B, Fig. 2), to hold the edges
of the card, and a pair of screweyes
into the top edge, for hangers.
Mother would appreciate the seam
ripper shown in Fig, 3. All that you
need is a safety-razor blade, and a
short stick whittled round for a han
dle. Slot one end of the handle, slip
the blade into the slot, and fasten with
small nails driven into the handle and
through a pair of the holes in the
blade. Varnish the handle, and the
little tool will be completed.
Fig. 4 shows a handy holder for
safety matches. The cover of the
safety-match box sets down over the
block E (Fig. 7), to hold the matches
and provide the match scratcher.

Speakership of House Absorbing
Topic at Raleigh.
Raleigh, Dec. 8.—Seats are be
ing rapidly engaged now by mem-
ers-elect of the 1917 General
Assembly to coDvene January 3.
Probably the biggest legislative
problems to be worked out will be
the general acts that must he pass
ed to put into operation the con
stitutional amendants for the local
of municipal and country affairs
and the apointment of emergency
judges. Considerable advance will
be asked in State prohibition regu
lations and there will be sharp
contests as to these issues. The
constitutional amendants go into
effect January 10 and the enact
ments of the general bills to put
them in force will take place there
after. The first seven days of the
Legislature will be opened for
legislation without refereLca to
the amendments and their limita
tions.
The speakership of the House is
an absorbing topic with much
speculation as to the standing of
the candidates who are Walter
Murphy of Salisbury, H. A. Page
and Gallatin Roberts of Asheville.
A man very active in public affairs
here claims that a careful canvass
of the Representatives throughout
the State shows 47 votes pledged
to Murphy, 12 to Page and 9 to
Roberts. These figures are not
accepted by friends of either Page
or Roberts and it is really very
hard to ^rrive at a definite and
dependable estimate of the strength
of the three candidates for the
place. Other candidates may de-
velope before the Legislative as-
embles.
Hon. R. A. Doughton of Alleg
hany, general recognized as the
“balance wheel” of the Assembly,
in the numerous sessions he has
attended, is coming back to the
House, but will not seek to speak
ership. He is generally designated
by common consent ih recent ses-
s'ons as the chairman of the Fin
ance Committee, a post of duty
for whichihe is peculiarly fitted.

Cabinet Gossip.
Washington, Dec. 8.—In spite
of reiieraied reports to the con
trary, officials close to President
Wilson insisted tonight that
neither Secretary McAdoo nor
Secretary Houston will retire from
the Cabinet at the close of the
President’s first term. Attorney
General Gregory who returned
today from Texas refused to say
whether he was planning to re
sign. In his case, however, the
reports are generally crdited
among bis friends.

Practical Economy
Baking powders made from alum or
phosphate may be bought for a trifle less
than Royal Baking Powder, which is made
from cream of tartar, derived from grapes.
Alum powders are not only cheap, but
they differ greatly in leavening power.
K a cheap baking powder is used for a
fine cake and the cake turns out a failure
there is a waste of costly materials worth
more than a whole can of the cheap bak
ing powder.
Royal Baking Powder produces the
finest food, and its use therefore, results in
an actual saving.

Apoplexy.
The cures for apoplexy are few, as
is well known. The prevention, how
ever, is easy. It consists in modera
tion in eating and drinking, plenty of
exercise and daily attention to bathing
of the surface of the entire body. The
internal health, too, is most important
—a daily laxative medicine is used for
this purpose.
