The Caaae of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailing in this country most dangerous because so decep- sii'UVi tive. luinvsuaaen ni p re- ncr-rl rcy disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to advance the kidney-poison- ril 11 nrvl will pt- tack the vital organs, causins catarrh of the bladder, brick-dnst or sediment in the urine, head ache, back ache, laire back, dizziness, sleeplessness, nervous ness, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Bladder troubles almost always result from a derangement cf the kidneys and better health in that organ is obtained quickest by a proper treatment of the kid neys. Svanip-oct corrects inability to hold urine and scalding piin in passing it, ' and overcomes that unpleasant necessity ' cf being compelled to go often through the day, and to get up many times during the night. The mild and immediate effect "of Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest bc--cause of its remarkable health restoring properties. A trial will convince anyone. Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and is sold by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles. You may have a sample bottle and a book that tells ail about it, both sent free by mail.

Speaking of applause In theaters, a theatrical mnn relates the following concerning the great actress itacnel: "It seems that upon a certain open ing night Ilachel received enthusiastic applause, but on the second night it was so noticeably slim that the actress felt deeply grieved and bitterly com plained that the claque was not doing its duty. The leader of the hired "ap plause makers' on hearing of her dis pleasure wrote her a letter in which he endeavored to excuse himself from any blame. " Mademoiselle 1 cannot remain un der the obloquy of a reproach from' such lips as yours he began. 'The following is an authentic statement of what really took place: At the first representation 1 led the attack In per son not less than thirty-three times. We had three acclamations, four hilar ities, two thrilling movements, four renewals of applause and two indefi nite explosions. In fact, to such an extent did we carry our applause that the occupants of the stalls were scan dalized and cried out a la porte! " 'My men were positively exhausted with fatigue and even intimated to me that they could not again go through such an evening. Seeing such to be the case, I applied for the manuscript, and after having profoundly studied the piece I was obliged to make up my mind for the second representation to certain curtailments in the service of my men.' The writer thus goes on at some length to assure the actress he will try" to make future amends and re quests her to believe in his profound admiration." Exchange. TALKING IN FIGURES. Significance of Certain Numbers In the Telegraphers' Code. "In the telegraphers' code numbers have special significance of which the general public is not aware," remarked a veteran key night the other day. "Most everybody knows that 30 means 'good night,' or the end of a story, but few outside the profession know that 31 is also a code sign. Rail road operators, however, know that thl call Is a signal to the operator at the other end to come back and repeat train signals to the sending operator. It also has another meaning, 'Train order to be signed by conductor and engine driver.' Nineteen, on the other hand, means that the train order is not to be signed by conductor or engine driver. Twenty-four has also the lat ter significance on some roads. "Five is simply an interrogation point and in the vernacular could be translated 'Anything doing?' Thirteen signifies 'Do you understand?' Twenty-five means 'busy,' but nobody seems to know how it came to have that sig nificance unless perhaps it means that the operator Is still In the midst of his work, being some distance away from 30. "Seventy-three means 'best regards,' and newspaper men and operators em ploy this expression constantly. Of course 23 has come to mean in this numerical language just what it does In ordinary parlance, 'skiddoo,' 'va moose' or 'butt out' or any of the thou sand and one other equivalents." New York Herald. , Tho Governor's Quick Wit. While talking to a former governor of Illinois, who was noted for the quickness of his wit, an English tour ist spoke with special fervor of a sight he had seen in another state. "I attended a Sunday service for the inmates of the state prison," he said, "and I learned that of the 203 persons now confined there all but twelve voluntarily attend religious services held in the prison chapel twice each Sunday." "Most extraordinary," said the gov ernor musingly. "I am sorry to say it is not so with us. But then." he add ed soberly, "in Illinois, you see, most of the respectable people do not come to prison." Lippincott's. Sign Language. Brown and Jones were having their usual stroll, and had just had a few minutes' conversation with Robinson, who wa3 accompanied by his wife. After they had gone on some little dis tance Brown said to Jones: "Did you notice that Mrs. Robinson never said a word?" "Oh, yes." said Jones. "You see, she's deaf and dumb." "Lucky chap is Robinson. But I sup pose she can talk with her fingers?" asked Brown. "I think so," replied Jones, "for Rob inson hasn't a dozen hairs left on his head." Settlement Work.

Health is Worth Saving and Some Scotland Neck Peo ple Know how to Save It. Many Scotland Neck people take their lives in their hand3 by neglect ing the kidneys when they know these organs need help. -Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health health, but there is no need to suf fer nor to remain in danger when most all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly relieved by the use of Doan's Kid ney Pills. Here is a Scotland Neck citizen's recommendation: Miss Lucy Hancock, Main street, S:otland Neck, N. C, says: "I wil-ling-y verify my former endorse ment of Doan's KidneyJPills, given in January 1908. I got this remedy from E. T. Whitehead Company's drug store, and it benefitted me greatlv when I was suffering from kidney complaint. Since then 1 have used Doan's Kidney Pills occasional ly and they have always brought the best of results." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cants. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo.

The North Carolina Campaign against hookworm disease is making steady progress. The number of cases of the disease reported as treated by physic'ans has grown during the past twelve monms rom 3,250 to 21.000; the number of doctors treating the dissase from 83 to 597; and the number of people microscopically examined for it in the State Labratory of Hygiene from 500 to 23,312. Seven thousand two hundred and seventy-six of the latter number were found to have hookworm infection, 2,543 showed others of thetigh intestinal para- tes. Though some of these were found quite frequently the hook worm infections were found three times as frequently as all others combined. Thirty-one per cent, ot the 23,312 examined showed hook worm infection. Of the number ex amined, 1,000 were State troops, 1,000 were orphans, 1,000 children of the State schools for the blind, deaf and dumb and the reformatory. Nearly 1,000 insanes have been ex amined. The'other 19,000 are largely made up of pubiic school children taken at random. Terrible Train of Troubles. Lake Charles, La. Mrs. E.

Ingenious men are continually con triving new kinds of shoes, new sus penders and hundreds of different kinds of braces, but so far, says the Therapeutic Gazette, no one has taken up the Idea of making a hat which will tha hend and not blow off and at the same time not bind the head all around like a constricting bana.

TTnta which are easily blown off should never be worn, as they will not stay on unless jammed so tigntiy upon the head as to Impede circulation. All stiff, rigid hats should be very light, and one should select a size larger than the head measurement and cor- mr th over size by inserting relt strips under the sweat band, thus giv ing a cushion-like effect and prevent ing the constriction at that portion of the scalp. FIRST POST HOUSES. Established by Cyrus, the Founder of the Persian Empire. The first posts are said to have orig inated In the regular couriers estab lished by Cyrus the Great about 650 B. C, who erected post houses through out the kingdom of Persia. Augustus was the first to introduce this institu tion amons the Romans, 31 B. C., and be was imitated by Charlemagne about 800 A. D. Louis XI. was the first sovereign to establish post houses in France, owing to his eagerness for news, and they were also the first in stitution of this nature in Europe. This was in 1470, or about 2,000 years after they were started in Persia. In England in the reign of Edward IV. (1481) riders on post horses went stages of the distance of twenty miles from each other in order to procure the king the earliest Intelligence of the events that passed In the course of the war that had arisen with the Scots. A proclamation was issued by Charles I. in 1631 that, "whereas to this time there hath been no certain Intercourse between the kingdoms of England and Scotland, the king now commands his postmaster of England for foreign parts to settle a running post or two between Edinburgh and London to go thither and come back again In six days." The Active Sloth Bear. "The sloth bear appears to be the most active of all the bears in the zoo Whoever misnamed the animal ought to bestow a more appropriate title," said a woman visitor who sat on a bench in front of the bear dens. "A mofe befitting designation would be 'Drsus pugilistlcus' or something like that, for be Is certainly the most pugnacious of all the bruin specimens here. And he gets away with It, too, although he weighs only 230 pounds. I saw him knock out tbe hairy eared bear In a fierce fight over a piece of meat, and he gets the better of the great Yezo bear of about 1,000 pounds in the adjoining lnclosure. They fight through tbe bars. You can hear the snapping of the big bear's jaws as be fails to catch his opponent. But tbe nervous sloth bear is as quick as a cat with bis long claws and gets In a dig on the other one's muzzle that makes him snort with pain." New York Sun. Salt and the Romans. Spilling of salt is a superstition still current among us. It Is derived from the ancient Romans, who used salt in their sacrifices and regarded it as sacred to Penates. To spill it careless ly was to Incur the displeasure of these household divinities. After ac cidentally spilling salt the ancient Ro man was wont to throw some over the left shoulder the shoulder of ill omen thereby hoping to call away from his neighbor the wrath of the Deity and tarn It upon himself.
