About the worst job man ever tackled is putting up a stove.
And about the worst drudgery, woman ever .endured is mess
ing with coal, kindling and ashes, and cleaning up after twa
or three stoves all "winter.
But why worry with stoves? Why put up with the inconven
ience? Why endure the' dirt? Why risk health with a "fce
burning, back-freezing" method of heating? Why continue
trying to heat your Home with stoves that waste 75; per cent,
-of the fuel, you put'into them? You can -have more heat
with 1-3 to 1-2. less expense--with;tKe modern "

3 THE MIRACLE OF ... -
The Earth .Mover. :: " v '
- Genilemen, you-all "take olf . you'
hats to; No'th Ca'lina. She. is one of
the most astonishing states in this as
ionishinr country of. our. Her; ach
ievenient of the past, and promise of
the future are - almost unbelievable.
North' Carolina is an" historic "old.
state. The Revolutionary; battle
field of .Guilford XJourt House, which
made possible the defeat and surren
der", of -Comwallis at Yorktownr lies
within its borders, near Greensboro,
and the state was prominent in the
Civil War. At the closeof that his
toric conflict North Carolina, in com'
nion with the remainder of the old
South, was prostrate. The. flower of
her youth had perished.. Her fields
were untilled. Her currency was
worthless. '. The accumulations of
years ofj prosperity had! been swept
away by the ravages of war. Her
entire economic and labor system had
been shattered overnight.
There wasreal tragedy, which haS
had no counterpart, even in the
stricken provinces of. France and
Belgium today. It 'has taken two
generations to accomplish the miracle
but North Carolina has caught her
stride and is rapidly distancing" her
sister states.
Agriculture? The soil and cli
mate and farmers of North Carolina
produced more new wealth in 1919
than the entire gold production of
California since the stampede of
1849. She was the fourth agricul
tural state in the Union, according to
Government repdrts, surpassed only
by Texas of vast area, Iowa and Illi
nois, in the order named.
Manufacturing? Even before the
great development of the war period
North Carolina was operating as
many cotton spindles as Massachu
setts. Put that in your pipes- and
smoke it, you hide-bound Yankees.
Cheap labor, cheap, power and the
proximity of raw cotton have work
ed the marvel. " The Southern Pow
er Company, having harnessed the
streams of the Blue Ridge' moun
tains, operates three thousand tailesH
of transmission lines in the two Caro
lina and turns the4 wheels of " three
hundred cotton mills. Three out of
every fouf men 4n overalls, through
out the United States, are wearing
denim 'manufactured in a - single
North Carolina factory, at Greens
boro a mill four" city blocks loiig
and two and three stories high. Man
ufacturers can buy electric
for about half what it would
power
cost to
produce
n witn sicam. Among tne
greatest furniture and tobacco man
ufacturingcenters in the country are!
High Poinr and WinstonrSalemf re-
spectively.
; Could the total value
Carolina's farm, forest,
of North
water and
manufacturing products in 1919
have been converted into dollar bills,
according to one statistical enthusi-
dot. the entire export of California
fruit could have been wrapped in
North Carolina money; her hay and
grain covered with North Carolina
ojiu on "exc nuuiu nave
been, enough money left with which
to bag all -the gold dust ever mined
or, coined in the Golden State.
Incomes? -The average ' income
tax paid in North Carolina is ex
ceeded only by that in New York
State. The Federal taxes paid by
North Carolina in 1920 exceeded the
total amount paid by all the remain
ing Southern States.
Climate? Superb. On. the coast
and in the great Piedmont and Moun
tain sections, while almost the entire
North was sweltering, in July heat, ST? " 5

sleeping-under, blankets.
Scenery? The Blue Ridge Moun-'
tains, almost-nnlmowr, f,
at large, have some of the
. mvi4,-
finest
scenery in the world, and will be
a
Mecca for tourists, once the state's
ambitious road-building program has
been completed. . x
Education ? With all - the" suppos-
ed and actual illiteracy of the moun-
tain whites; NortlT Carolina has less
w wAu.-iicw iittiiisuire.
In expenditures per capita for educa-i
tioii she stands first among the states
in proportion to' her jper : capita

buildings were erected in the state in

mnd. St Art World of TroaWe.
Cal6meJ is 'mercury; quicksilrer.
It crashes into sour' bile like dyna
mite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your. system.
If you feel bilious," headachy, con
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to .your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's liver "Tone for a few cents
which is a -harmless vegetable sub
stitute for dangerous calomel. Take
a spoonful and if it does'nt start your
liver and straighten you up better
and Quicker than nasty calomel and
without - making -ya sick,--y su - jsrt
go backhand getjrour money.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sicklthe next day; it loses you a day's
work. vDodsQns I4ve"r Tone straigh
