TAR HEEL TROOPS EATING GOOD BREAD ENLISTED MEN AT CAMP STEW ART BAKE UNUSUALLY FINE DREAD. ANXIOUS TO LEAVE BORDER IMewa Is Circulating In Camp that Boys Will Be On Way Home By December 15. No Provision for Winter and Getting Cold. Camp Stewart, El Paso, Texas. The bread furnished the men at Camp Stewart is unusually fine. No better bread was ever produced any where and It Is all made by enlisted men at the camp bakery situated back of the encampment and covering an area 260 by 200 feet. It is a spot . worth visiting and inspecting. Capt. Frank S. Mueller, who estab lished the first militia cooking school in Pennsylvania m 1898, is in com mand. He knows the business from the ground up and also knows how to impart his own knowledge and skill to his subordinate. The big bakery works as smoothly as a piece of fine machinery. Captain Mueller has every item of cost figured down to the fraction of a cent and knows exactly what it costs to produce a loaf. The average cost of a loaf of bread made in his bakery and sold to the soldiers is 2.94 cents and every loaf weighs a full pound. Sixty Men Employed. The bakery employs sixty men all the time. It is not equipped with the machinery that commercial bakeries use in the big cities but all the work is done with the "machinery" that na ture supplies. Its capacity is 18,000 loaves per day. In a , month tb.9 bakery turns out $17,724 worth of bread, on an average, according" to Captain Mueller. One carload of wood lasts the bak ery just three days, and in three days a carload of flour is consumed, about 60,000 pounds. It requires around 1, 400 gallons of water every day to make the bread and 27 four-mule teams are needed to deliver the bakery's daily output to the men of the Seventh Di vision. The bread allowance is one pound per man per day. Stand Exposure Well. The men are standing the exposure well. The morning reports from the regiments show no increase in the number of sick and no serious cases of illness. The men are all fat and healthy .improving physically every day. They are spoiling for a fight and it would tickle them to death to be ordered across the Rio Grande. Nat urally, they don't care much for the dull routine of camp and If there is no fighting they want to go home. Private Neal Freeman, Co. K, Third Regiment of Asheboro, has been transferred to the Third Regiment Band. The following promotions have been made in the Thomasville com pany, L, of the third: Corporal Ernest M. Batten to be ser geant and Privates David B. Blarkley, James S. Burton, Wiley R. Howell, Ar thur R. Swain and Edgar L. Wood to be corporals. In the Durham company, M, of the third, Corporals William J. Duncan and George T. Kerr become sergeants and Privates Charles K. Coley, Joseph E. Hancock, Ira W. Shields, Jeter C. P. McDonald, Samuel E. Casey and William A. Moore have been appointed corporals. Lieutenant Bryan of Co. C. Third Regiment, has been appointed adjut ant to Maj. J. J. Bernard of the first battalion in the absence of Lieutenant Howell, who is at home on leave of absence. If something is not done for the North Carrolina outfit soon there is going to be real suffering. Monday night the thermometer dropped to a scant 17 degrees above zero and the cold was so intense that hundreds of men never slept during the night. Con ditions such as these will cause dis satisfaction and there will be trouble. If there were need for the suffering the men would bear it cheerfully, for they have an abundance of Tar Heel grit but if Uncle Sam wants them to stay here and watch the border trough the bleak months that are com ing they would appreciate a few of the comforts of life while they are doing It. Winter quarters have not yet been provided for either men or officers, "but all are plentifully supplied with blankets and will be fairly comfort able. It is understood that seventy cars of lumber are now on sidings at j El Paso ready for issua as soon as the War Department authorizes it. The orders received recently for the moving of the South Carolina troops back home aroused the drooping spir its of the Tar Heels wonderfully. They are now beginning to hope again, in spite of the fact that regi mental quartermasters have been di rected to make requisition for Christ mas dinners. The more optimistic ones say that that does not signify anything, for if North Carolina is call ed home the turkeys and other truck requisitioned for will not be wasted, rnasmuch as Pershin?s outfit, if it is withdrawn from Mexico, will probably bo quartered right herf receive it any time soon. A. K. Bishop, of Mount Gilead, N. C, Uncle Sam is a very fine eld gentle mau to be associated with in any sort of undertaking, but ther,e is no deny ing the fact that he could improve on his business methods. For example, the North Carolina Brigade has three perfectly good dental surgeons Lieut. B. F. Hall, of Asheville, assigned to the First Regiment; Lieut. Adolphus E. Worsham, of Spencer, assigned to the Second, and Lieut. B. J. Durham, of Asheville. assigned to the Third. They have been in the service since early in the summer nnd drawing their pay- $2,000 per year each. Up to the present writing they have not done any work at all and the fault is not with them. They have not been fur nished dental equipment and for four months enlisted men have been suf fering for lack of attention. They put in requisition for equipment in July but they have not yet received it and there is no indication that they will Alexander Alleghany Anuon . . Ashe . . . . Averv . . . is nere witn nis camera taking pictures of the North Carolina boys and occa sionally "mugging" a Pennsylvanian. He was with Mrs. Byron Wooten at Camp Glenn last summer and did prac tically all of her finishing. Mrs. Woot en is the official photographer of tut brigade and she is one of the most tireless workers in the world. She had planned to come to Texas with the troops but she was about worked down when moving orders came. Something of the volume of her work at camp last summer may be realibed from the statement made recently by Mr. Bishop that he finished for her 75. 000 prints last summer. N Mr. Bishop has found plenty of work to do so far and is much pleased with El Paso. Privates George A. Jones, of Ral eigh. and Claude Sears, of Rocking ham, both charged with desertion from Company B, Third . Regiment, have been delivered to Captain Albert Cox here and are held for trial by general courtmartial. Jones is alleg ed to have deserted at Camp Glenn and Sears near Hamlet on way to border. OFFICIAL VOTE, OF STATE Board of Elections Report Wilson Re ceived 163,383 and Hughes 1'V . 890; Others 541 Votes. Raleigh.

A special committee from the legis lative committee of the North Caro lina Teachers' Assembly put the fin ishing touches an the bill that is to be submitted to the Teachers' As sembly next week for providing in this state a statewide law for the cer tification of public school teachers. The present system provides volun tary examinations for state certifica tion and leaves the great mass of the teachers to take their examinations and received their certificates through the county superintendent, which creates a very objectionable non-uniformity in the standards of teacher equipment according to the advocates of the state certification bill. The bill is expected to put on a much more sure footing the matter of a real pro fessional standard for public school teachers. The commitee that is perfecting the bill consists of Dr. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Public In struction; E. C. Broks of Trinity Col lege, D. P. Giles of Raleigh and Mrs. M. B. Terrill.

C. Are Burned. Last year in North Carolina 192 babies were burned to death, "all of which were accidental. This winter the same tragedy is again being enact ed, the daily papers carrying the story of a child burned to death almost every day. These deaths are classed as deaths from preventable causes, according to the State Board of Health, in whose judgment this is too great a price in baby lives to pay annually for this form of carelessnes. In the opinion of the board much can be done to protect babies from the fire and save them this horrible death. A3 one means of protection it suggests the use of a baby pen. It says: "A baby pen can be easily made which will not only protect the baby from fire and other injuries but will keep it off the floor, clean and com fortable, and at the same time will allow it freedom and exercise and the full use of its limbs. The pen can be moved from room to room and thus allow the mother to do her work and at the same time be in sight of her child. "The dimensions of a convenient farm, of baby pen are IS inches high and about two yards square. The pen may be larger or smaller, according to the size of the room or space to be given it, but the spoke:' in the sides of the pen must bo placed so close to gether that the child's head may not get through." Another suggeiston afforded by the board is that in case of an open fire place, which is exceedingly dangerous both on account of the fire popping out and the child falling in, that a wire netting made to fit the fireplace be used. The use of a fender is not enough, unless it prevent both the child's falling into the fire and the fire popping out into rhe room. Chatham Cherokee . Chowan ... Clay Cleveland , Columbus .

In Caldwell Superior Court Charley Walker, who was on trial for killing his sweetheart, was sentenced by his honor, Judge Garland S. Fer guson, to be electrocuted on January 12, 1917, the jury having returned a verdict of "guilty of murder in the first degree, as charged in the bill of indictment," after deliberating for one hour and twenty minutes. 8?) t JUL'A BOTTOr-lLEY! mm mmm F$&win WssSf sag Getting Old Too Fast? Late in life the body shows signa of wear and often the kidneys weaken first. The back is lame, bent and achy, and the kidney action distressing. This makes people feel older than they are. Don't wait for dropsy1, gravel, harden ing of the arteries or Bright's disease. Use a mild kidney stimulants Try Doan's Kidney Pills. Thousands of el derly folks recommend them. A North Carolina Case Mrs. S. L. Ross, 609 Guilford Ave., Greens boro, N. C, says: "I had a tired ache across the small of my back and could hardly get around. My nerves were affected, my sight bothered me and my whole system was run down. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me great relief and after I had taken two boxes, I was rid of the mis ery In -my back. My kidneys again acted as they should and my health improved greatly." Cet Dout's at Any Store, 50c Bos DOAN'S KPSDJiT FOSTER-MILB URN CO.. BUFFALO, N. Y. in Enthusiasm for Furs. Furs have invaded every branch of woman's apparel as the most desired of garnitures. There is an immense enthusiasm for them. They add a sumptuous touch to coats and suits and wraps of all kinds. In millinery a border or collar of fur on a lace or flower-trimmed hat makes places for Its summery gayetles In the depth of winter. Millinery designers delight in the touch of fur. Just about the best asset in the winter's wardrobe is u fur set of some sort a neckpiece, little or big, and a smart muff. They are worn with coats and suits, one-piece frocks, and evening wraps. Anything unusual or original in designing them, so long as it is graceful, adds much to their dis tinction. The woman who is clever about making things' for herself at home can make small fancy neckpieces nnd pillow muffs of fur or of fur and a material combined. The handsome set pictured is made of moleskin bordered with Hudson senl. The small cape, rather full, Is lengthened by two ruffles of moleskin, and has the effect of a triple cape, each one of them bordered with the seal. There are two similar ruffles at each side of the muff. The ruffles are lined with mole-colored satin, and the very modish collar muffles up the neck in the approved style. All the soft, loosely woven cloths that are fashionable are combined with fur bandings In smart sets. Vel vet, brocude, nnd rich ribbons play an important role also in fashioning them. Neckpieces in combinations of rubrics and fur are usually small, but muffs are larger than runny all-fur muffs. Large fur-covered buttons and hanging balls of fur are among the embellish ments that fashion approves. Occa sionally a bright-colored material is veiled with a sedate color In chiffon and encircled with fur In unusual sets. For Lameness Keep a bottle of Yager's Liniment in your stable for spavin, curb, splint or any enlargement, for shoulder slip or sweeny, wounds, galls, scratches, collar or shoe boils, sprains and any lameness. It absorbs swellings and en largements, and dispels pain and stiffness very quickly. YAG This liniment is the most econom ical to use as a 25 cent bottle contains four times as much aa the usual bottle of lini ment sold at that price. Sold by all dealers. GILBERT BROS. & CO. BALTIMORE. MD. Britt-Weaver Decision Withheld. Asheville. Following the conclu sion of arguments in the mandamus proceedings in the case of James Britt against the Buncombe county canvass ing board, Judge W. J.

Special from Washington. Statis tics just published by the Interstate Commerce Commission foi the year ended June 30. 1915. show that North Carolina had the third greatest in crease in mileage of the state of the Union, the addition being 146.82 miles over 1914. This gives the state a total of 5.565.47 miles. This is 2,19 per cent of the total mileage of the United States. It is 11.42 miles rr 100 square miles of territory and 33.60 miles per 10.000 inhabitant. North Carolina Baptists raised their annual pledge of $57,500 for state mis sions. $18,000 was received during the last week. Rumors that W. J. Bryan will move his voting residence to Asheville, ara denied by his business associate in Loncoln, Neb. Reports of his intend ed removal to the South have been ap pearing at intervals for some time. The Vance school house at Salis bury, was damaged by fire a few days ago.

They are lull of fineries and furbelows for Christinas gifts, and furs and wraps that will warm those who wear them to the soul ; or let us hope. so. It Is to be gathered from lhe:n that skating will be winter's foremost pastime, for there are ail sorts of skating outfits displayed. There are costumes among them in which sports cloths reach the apex of luxury and beauty, and there are many unpretentious but captivating skating sets, sometimes of three pieces, and often of two. The three piece sets include muffler, cape, and mutt to match, nnd the two-piece sets muffler and cape or hat. They make ideal Christmas gift::. Several of the new materials, as wool velours. Bolivia cloth, and the lighter fur-fabrics are perfectly adapt ed to these sets. Eiderdown is an ideal material for them, and the set shown in the picture Is made of It. But any of the soft, woolly cloths might be used for the plain muffler and to cover the small hat shape, with ii bout the same good effect. The lint is held on by a bridle of eiderdown, and the sjoitie-loti!ii:ig pompon i made of yarn, which is of all thing-, the best for decorating skating sets. Besides the sets made of fabrics there are practical and handsome ones of yarns. Angora is the coziest looking of these. White bordered with colored stripes and bright colors, trimmed with white, seem to malcli up best with a winter landscape; at any rate this is the opinion of those who have designed skating togs. But more audacious color combinations may ex pect to meet with approval against a background of ice and snow, and after all is said, there is nothing better than vivid Scotch plaids for winter sports. Beware the Trained Short Skirt. There is one Parisian horror made only for American buyers, in which no vraie l'arisienne would be seen nnd which I warn you to avoid the short, full skirt with a long train attached to it. Every time 1 see women thus garbed I almost laugh right out ; they look so funny. Lucile in Harper's Huzar. Your Liver Is Clogged Up That's Why You're Tired Out of Sort Have No Appetite.
