Following tile recent publication of the results of a survey and study which showed that there is an aver age of only one milk cow to lti fami lies iu North Carolina, the State Board of Health lias issued a comprehensive ..Statement on the importance of milk as a food. ’ Milk." declares this state ment at the outset, ‘‘is essential to health, especially for children. With out it there cannot be a citizenship with a high degree of vitality. The absence of it accounts in some part for the high infant mortality in this State.” The statement goes into consider able detail explaining why milk is the perfect food and discusses the mat ter of diet in general for children and adults, emphasizing those articles of diet that air most essential to supply the body with the minerals, salts, etc., needed as well as those that supply the proteins, carbohydrates and other essential elements. In conclusion the admonition is made: "For healthier children, fewer baby deaths, and an improvement, in the health of all the people, North Carolina needs more milk.” No matter how much we talk about the importance of dairy cattle the peo ple in the State refuse to show enough interest in the matter to purchase more cattle. There is a good profit in good cattle, to say nothing of the health qualities in good milk, yet we find our people showing an indiffer ence that seems to grow with each year. Most of the counties in the State have less dairy cattle now than they had a few years ago. sliculd not only increase the Humber of cattle we have, but like wise we should improve on thfe breed. It costs no more to feed a thoroughbred than it does to feed a scrub, yet the former gives much bet ter returns ou the investment. With a big carry-over from the 1925 cotton crop and prospects that the 1920 crop will be a big one, farm ers would be wise to plant less cotton and keep more cows. There will be u bigger profit iu the latter. STATE PRISON PAYING DIVI DEND. For the first time iu six years' op eration of the North Carolina’s State prison resulted in a profit during the calendar year 1925. This fact was es tablished by the report of Charlotte auditors who have just completed a survey of the records. The total net operating profits for the State's prison as a whole fnr the cai.ondur year , amount-to $42,548.31, butiwhan tee : d to prison ers upon their discharge for themselves and their families iu commutation, $24,449.88, Is subtracted, the profit is reduced to $18,093.43. Strictly speak ing that entire amount should not be deducted, since a large port of that commutation accrued during previous years, but with the system of book keeping now in use, there la no other I I way to calculate. ' I But the feature of the entire report j i is that the prison is now on a self- j supporting basis for the first time since December, 1920, the last time a re port showing a surplus of income over expenses was made. Not only that, but the balance sheet of assets and liabilities shows $2,748,353.55 worth ,of assets in excess of liabilities; a gain of more than $600,000 over the figure of 1924, which was $2,117,- 65726. That means that a large amount was spent during the year on permanent improvements to the prison system and gives added signifi cance to the net profit shown. WAR ON ILLITERACY. j William Allen White, the noted i Kansas editor, heads a group of cru -1 saders who are going to strive to wipe out illiteracy in the United States be tween now and 1930. These people have made a careful survey of their i field and here are some of the facts : they find: There are 10.000 who cannot read or write in the City of Washington. Philadelphia has nearly 60,000 il literates. New York City has enough to make a city the size of Denver. Pennsylvania has enough to popu late two states the size of Wyoming. Ohio has more native born white illiterates that has the state of Miss issippi. There are many counties in the 1 T'nited States where twenty-five to •thirty per cent., of the people are un able to read and write and some coun ties where forty to fifty per cent, of the people are unable to read and write and some counties where forty to i fifty per cent, are illiterate. Five million men and women in this' country have completely missed school. i • A Libel Suit. Statesville Daily.' ’■ ’■ A damage suit growing out of the evolution discussion has been filed in Cabarrus county. It is brought by Rev. ,T. It. Pentuff. a Baptist minister of Concord, against the Raleigh Times company, J. A. Park, publisher, and O. J. Coffin, editor. The amount of damages asked by the preacher as compensation for hurts alleged to have been inflicted tfy edi torial criticism in the Times, is $25,- 000. Rev. Mr. Pentuff was active, down Raleigh way against evolution. The Times had things to say about him editorially that aggrieved him. But the suit is interesting aside from the fact that it grows out of tlie evolution discussion. Under the libel laws in this State one who feels injured by a newspaper publi cation must first demand retraction. Even if retraction, or correction, is made the suit may go on, but the burden is on the plaintiff to show that he suffered actual injury on ac count. of the publication, which the retraction could not remedy. Usual ly, however, if satisfactory retrac tion is published there is rio suit. But in this ease the Times refused to publish a l-etraetiiion. Presum ably the Times took the position that there was nothing to retract. In any event John Park and Os. Coffin stood pat and the case will go on trial some time in the near fu ture, nothing intervening. Is it the Girl or the money? Constantinople, March 27.—The Puritans of Turkey, alarmed at the craze for modern dancing which is sweeping the country, arc urging the government to create a “dance mon opoly.” They argue that only by the government ownership can the pub lic dance halls be safe places for the Turkish girls, who have always been bo carefully protected. Further they argue that such a monopoly would provide a large amount of revenue for the government. j STOP CATARRH!

Bloomfield, N.J. frit* - INQUIRING INTO THE •j SHOOTING OF MAN Firing on Fleeing Man by Charlotte j Policeman Being Investigated. i Charlotte, March 29.—A vigorous ‘ inquiry into the shooting here Thurs day night of A. A. Tarrant, alleged ■ rum-runner, by Charlotte policemen will be demanded by relatives at Greenwood, S. C., of the dangesously wounded Charlotte man, according I to authoritative information received Monday. Action is being taken at the South Carolina city by Tarrant’s relatives ' preliminary to making a strong es • fort to substantiate his claim that he 1 did not fire at the officers, who shot , him in the back as he ran after being j accosted in the Lockwood section here. J An cfficiai inquiry into the case j was begun here Monday afternoon !bv Solicitor John G. Carpenter, of Gastonia, who announced at & o'clock that he was investigating the affair for the State of North Carlina. He said that he had made “some prog ress” in the short time he had been engaged in the effort, j Tarrant'*? physical condition was i such throughout Friday, that newspa per men were not permitted to see him. The case entered a new phase Saturday, after Tarrant was inter viewed at the hospital, when ’he de nied he fired at the officers, and added that he was “running from disgrace’’ when he was shot in the back. ! Another phase was added to the series of developments in the case when Ferguson feclared Monday in a telephonic conversation, that he never • had said he knows the whereabouts of j “the gun” whit'd three Charlotte po -1 lice officers said was fired at them Thursday night, when Tarrant, aged 24, was shot in the back and gravely wounded. Tarrant denied he fired at the of ficers but admitted he had two gallons of v.hiskey in his car. ! MOORE COUNTY RESORT WILL BE MODERNIZED , New York Interests Will Take Over I Jackson Springs Ilctcl and Re novate it. Raleigh, March 27. Jackson i Springs is to become an all year re sort and a sanatorium will be add*' ed when the plans a* announced here today by Albert Mclxmghlin. of New York, mature and the corporation gets its working charter, i The new organization will be known as the Jackson Spring Hotel corporation, which, taking over the old hotel, will modernize it and run it through the summer.

My husband has had another of his attacks." “Why didn't you send for me' soon er?” the doctor asked, half an hour later. You should not have waited till your husband was unconscious.” I “Well,*’ replied the wife, “as long as he had his senses he wouldn't let me send for you.” Vim At your command—and Let us prove that. Modern science has brought mil lions of people a new way to health and vim. The new way is a gland secre tion—ox-gall. It stimulates the liver, the largest gland in the body. I Drugs and cathartics never have done that, as all recent tests have | proved. I Torpid liver causes countless troubles. It causes most of our troubles, perhaps. Among them are the following: Indigestion Heart and Constipation Kidney Troubles : Impure Blood Bad Complexions i High Blood Pressure Lack of Youth Torpid liver means lack of bile. Then germs breed and form toxins in the intestines. Those poisons permeate the system, and count less ills result. Now we know that our efforts to correct them have been futile. The drugs wc gave were useless. But a liver secretion—ox-gall—brings the desired effects. That secretion is now embodied in tablets, called Dioxol. Each tab let contains 10 drops of purified ox gall. The results start in 24 hours. Those Dioxol tablets are now bringing countless people results beyond Delief. We ask you to try them. One tablet may do more for you than a hundred drug doses. Prove that at our expense. They may change your whole life and career.

(Continued) She stopped him instantly. “That’s splendid!” It was quite as If she were complimenting him up on some new triumph within his profession. She reached over and patted his hand and then pressed It for a moment in her own. '"That’s iplendid,” she repeated. “Now rou’re at least a coward no longer. You see I’ve got a funny mind, I think. I like to know things. It helps one make plans.” “But, Jo—there’s much more to say. It isn’t just like that—. Shall l marry you? No. There’s more.” “There really isn’t," she de clared. “You explained quite ful ly, without words, when you came down from London that matters were quite the same as ever. You’d got on but I hadn't I was Just the same jazz girl with the short skirts and a lot of knees and a good time brain. Not the kind of a wife for the great creator of a beautiful thing for future genera tions to marvel at. Why tell me all over again?" He knew she was mocking him, and he realized that he was help less. A thousand things hung or his lips. In her calm scrutiny of him they jumbled. She reached to him again and patted his sleeve “We’ll have a drink over it all, someday,” she said. "Meanwhile I shall stop drinking all of my cocktails to you. Now go along into the house. You will find Yvon oe in the reading room. I’m going to have one of Teddy Donninster’a horses saddled and ride ougr for tea with Roddy Kenilworth at his house.” She gave him her hand and smiled up at him. “You will not be seeing much of me now until the fete.” she said. "It is so near ind 1 have so much to do. But i shall want you to dance with me hat night. By -then we shall have both forgot today.” She watched him until he disap peared beyond some shrubbery that :ut off the view of the house. Then ihe turned toward the stables, but iad not gone far when she stopped. She stood for a moment looking ibout her. When she saw that tone of the workmen nor attend mts were near, she crumpled onto .he lawn, and lay, face buried in :he grass, her shoulders shaking xmvulsively. CHAPTER XXX Joanna’s Decision A stable groom fumbled with his Rip when Joanna had chosen her •orse and sent to the house for he rifling togs into which'she pro* tosed to change in the stable dress ng room. The 'man gazed dubi msly down the Cap Martin slope and estimated the thickening blan ;et of violet haze. “It'll be coming up fast, Made noiseile, after a while," he said; 'lt’s troublesome to ride through fhen it gets too heavy. I shouldn’t tdvise Mademoiselle to go top ar.” "Just along the sea road, to Mr. Kenilworth's,” she informed him. The lights there are never lost.' The groom would have liked to mice more insistent caution, but ds mistress was abrupt with him. there were times when the ser ants at Villa Amette were afraid 4 their Mademoiselle Joanna. Til? .Toom shook his head but decided tot to venture a further protest. Ho •effected ’hat, after all. she was i good horsewoman and that a ,orse usually is dependable. Kenilworth, whose villa nestled rt the base of the hill, shut off rom the majestic boulevard which Wrts the shore by a dense hedge t semi-tropical bush, met her, with ell enough to sense a purpose, oatfna, he had discovered long go, usually concealed a purpose ehlnd whatever was unexpected of «r. He had made a profession, al eoet, of discovering those hidden nrposeg and fathoming them. “Confess to me," she challenged 4m when she had sealed In a treat chair before the fog ire ■hick baffled the ♦ooi ’dampness'of he increasing inlet outside, “you re wondering why 1 came so un xpectedly." “That I wouldn't do," he declared romptly. “If you have any other ••son than a sudden desire to njoy my admirations without in- terruptions, I don’t want to know it. I am jealous of my vanity.” “Then you shall be flattered,” she returned gaily. “I am in the mood for you. Someday there’s got to be a battle between ns, between you and me, Roddy. Let’s have it now.” He was on his feet in an Instant and standing over her. She stopped with her eyes, and held him half bent down to her. She did not stir, nor put up a hand; it was just the indescribable something in her eyes. “No, not just now,” die said, her lips shaping into the utmost of their provocatlvenese. “You mustn’t be too literal. But to night, perhaps, or tomorrow night —or when the moment arrives. But S 3 soon as we can. I want to know hqw I’m coming off.” "Damn you! Are you playing with me?" “No. Roddy. I’ve never played. Not since my money came. Some day 1 want to play. After we’re had our battle, perhaps. What r»haF Uhe stopped with her eyes, and held him half bent down to her. we do first? Let's go through the mist —to some place. Why not up La Turble?” "Tonight?” “Tonight. That’s what 1 must hurry home to change for. I shall want to look very alluring.” He straightened and looked down at her coolly for a moment. She did not flinch under his gaze, nor did her lips uncurve. He turned away and looked out a window, tt was already darkening outside, and the lights of Monte Carlo were vague pin points. “If we drive carefully we can make it.” he concluded. “I’ll take the wheel myself. You won’t bo afraid to trust yourself with me, shall you?” “That's what I want to find out, Roddy. So many people are skep tical of me. I want to know If they're right—or wrong." He laughed. ”1 shan't ask you to stay beyond the hour," he de clared. “I’ll need some time alone to try and figure you out. WUat’3 happened? Something has, I am certain.” “Nothing," she assured him. "Nothing, that is. that wasn't ex pected.” A servant noriiiod them that Mademoiselle’s mount had been brought to the door before either of them realized that the hour had flown. She had induced Kenilworth to tell her some of the histories of the souvenirs which w.ere strewn about the room in which their tea had been served, and she was en thusiastic about them. When she went out to her horse she found that the groom also had brought a mount. Kenilworth nod ded hip approval. Joanna begged to be allowed to ride back to Am ette alone, declaring her faith in the lights along the sea boulevard and her horse's instinct, but Kenil worth was firm. “I should take you along myself,” lie explained, "but 1 shall want a look at the car. It’s a stiff climb to La Turble. I always want to be satisfied about my brakes.” At Villa Amette, Joanna found Brandon awaiting her. “I have in vited myself to dine,” he ex plained, “and no one seems to object Perhaps you will go along for an hour or two at the Casino, afterwards. There won’t be a crowd and we can drop In for an act at the theater. Yvonne seems to have other plans for the evening.” “And so have L” she told him “I’m going up La Turble with. Rod dy. He's often wanted me to go up with him, and now I've prom ised.” ’’Sorry.” She did not wait for -he inevitable protest against climbing the narrow, winding road that ventured up the steep La Tur hie mountain to the Isolated resort above La Turble village, but tripped on up the stairs. Brandon looked after her. Even women who were careless seldom went up La Turbie to dine otr dance at the famous roadhouse atop the hill, unless iu groups. The gayest of the hidden rendez vous along the coast, it was, In some respects, also the most forbidding. One always went up La Turble but one did not, custom arily, talk about ft. After he had stood for a time in deep reflection. Brandon wept onto the Amette ver anda and peered hut into-file damp fog.! Accustomed as he was to the Riviera he estimated the feel of it to his nostrils and his Angers. He appeared to gain, from his qoucluaiong, seme definite satiefac ttlon. He summoned a servant and Ut quired If Mademoiselle Coutani was still occupied la her boudoir The maid reported that her mis trass was, and would not be down for some little time. "You may tell her," he ordered, “that I shall not be staying to dine, if she won’) mind.” A half hour later, when he had dismissed the Amette car which had taken him back to Monts Carlo, Brandon summoned his valel and demanded that a suit of hear? tweeds be raid out for him. When the man had compiled his maste) ordered: “Go at once to the garage oi the Italian in the Boulevard ds Midi and ask for Antoine. If he ti not at hand find out where h< can be reached immediately. Whes you have him say that I want him to drive me as soon as he cas be ready up the mountain. If h< objects to the mist, tell him th« thicker the fog the heavier hit purse will be, and that much mor» for his men. Be sure, however, that it is Antoine himself you find. Otherwise return quickly." On her way to her own boudoir. Joanna stopped at Yvonne's. She, tco. It seemed, was particularly painstaking at her evening's toil ette. Her maids were flushed and nervous under the temper of their mistress. That they were having difficulties in pleasing her was evi dent from the litter of glittering gowns angrily tossed Into heaps on the chaise lounge, chairs and< even, tables. For a brief instant Joanna stood in the boudoir door, beneath the curtains that shut off Yvonne’s sitting room; jnst long enough for her eyes to harden and narrow. Then she announced brightly that she would be going out with Kenilworth and that she hoped her running away would not Interfere with any plans for the evening Yvonne might have made. Yvonne glanced at her sharply. She concluded, however, that there had been nothing hidden in Joan na's tone. "J have no other plane than a run Into the Casino, pep baps,” she said. "Betty Weymouth is having something or other to night at her place, and I did prom ise that you and I would drop in, but that ts not important. If you are running away by yourself I shan’t trouble.” Joanna went over to the other woman and. stooping, lightly brushed her cheek with her lips. "Then I shan’t be seeing you till tomorrow sometime. It will be early, though, for I shan’t be able to sleeop with tomorrow night so close.” She stopped again at ths door as she went out, to say, as If It were an afterthought: “To night I’m going up La Turbie—witti Roddy. It will be great fun on the mountain tonight." Yvonne turned quickly, but the girl had dropped the curtains be hind heT. She waved both of her maids away, when they bore down upon her with Joanna's departure, and sat quietly in a study. Pres ently she looked up and into the mirror before her. She examined the reflection she saw there with an intent, abstract scrutiny. From her face her gaze wandered to her throat, around which huns her most magniflcqnt pearls, and then to her gown—she had chosen a thing of pink in orchid hues that had come that day from her Paris couturier's. She shook her head, in response to her mental conclu sions upon the ensemble the mir ror reflected. “You may take off the pearls," sbe commanded a maid, “and brine me diamonds. A lot qf them. Ana I shall not wear this gown after all. It’s too innocuous. I’ve soma thing in burgundy; bring that.” As it to herself she added, in a mur mur that neither maid could over hear: "Burgundy and diamonds. If I’m not mistaken that will do the trick.” CHAPTER XXXI The Challenge Two oars crept upwards along the tortuous road that climbed the mountain. Kenilworth’s red road ster, with tts master at the wheel and Joanna settled snugly beside him in the single seat, glided si lently from the streets of Monte Carlo, into the shrub-lined aventse that narrowed gradually until it became barely more than a path sloping sharply toward the sum mit of the hill. Ahead of them Brandon, muffled In tweeds cov ered by a black domino, sat beside an evil, heavy-Jowled Monegasque who steered a much larger car than Kenilworth’s. The purple mist, hued vaguely now that the twilight had gone, blotted out the lights of town and villa which, on moonlight nights, make this road up La Turbie one of the beautiful drives of Europe. "One who climbs the hill night. Master, must have a steady nerve and a purpose," said the Monegasque who guided the car in which Brandon rode. "If the purpose is worthy of the nerve, the effort Is worth while,’ Brandon returned. "One man’s ob ject is a woman, another's may be gold, t imagine your nerve would not fail you in either case.” When Antoine had made a turn with a sureness and a knowledge of the bank which stamped him as familiar with the road hs fol lowed, he observed; x v "There aye few - wooden,- in your world.
