I TARHELIUM
North Carolina Natural Gas
By CHIEF RENFRO
RIP VAN TAR HEEL.
Where do you go when you go t<
sleep? A wide awake subject. Psy
chologists do not know but they an
scientifically sure where you go?
just as the theologians are morallj
certain where Hell is But to th<
average sleepometer it is as simpl<
as why breakfast is crowded in before
dinner. When n homo goes t<
sleep he goes where he comes fron
when he wakes up.
Rip Von Winkic after "Swigging'
a keg of Dutch bootleg, went then
for a siesta, and when he got back
three things hod happened: his whis
fcers were long and white, his jointi
were stilt and he was a gcneratior
behind the times. One time Old Tai
Heel went to sleep.
While there thousands of moss
backs grew in riotous profusion, ant
his backbone softened to such a degree
that all North Carolina's chiro
practic statesmen were unable to giv?
relief. But when Doctor Canieroi
Morrison was called in he brought i
Tarh/eliiim pulmqtor, and then some
thing happened. After a few treat
merits Old Tar Heel trimmed hi'
beard arid straightened up and "cam*
to." lie was not twenty years be
Y hind the times for the reason tha
* his neighbors had been taking "en
a little sleep." Old Dominion har
bqc-n dozing in the afterglow of i
glorious past, and Old Palmetto hac
had one eve shut.
Since Big Ben went off, however
there has been no sleep?or ever
a nap. Today Tar Teel has eaughl
up, gone ahead and is sniffing Tar
helium at every snort. The old flinl
lock has been hung over the door
and he is shooting booms in evorj
direction. His sons are building play
grounds in the mountains, playing
the magic music of machinery every
where, co-operating in the fine ari
of agriculture, and from Buckwheal
to Cypress Kuecs the little Rips anc

arc better and longer. Tarhelium i:
a distinctive North Carolina product
and is one of the greatest resource:
of Nature that has been giver, to hei
in such unlimited and unStintec
measure.
Tarhelium is a by-product of Hoi
ium. Holiuin vras first discovered <>i
the sun about sixty years ago. am
thirty years later it was found t<
inhabit the earth. Frozen heliuir
is the frostiest thing in the world
its temperature being -158 degree;
below zero. Tarhelium is unlike hei
maternal ancestors, being more voia
, tile, more penetiating, more pervad
^ ing more envigorating and mor<
contagious. It's the great wonder
worker of the age, and get ting hettei
every day.
The- I.Bet tit*
Up till last week the "Northeri
logins were to t>e seen in fr'lorjoa
The great railroads threading Nortl
Carolina were operating special:
named Orange Blossoms, Ever
glades, Hnvatampas, and House-of
Coral-Gables. But robins are not thi
only birds that go North in th*
spring. Would it not be the tiim
now, a good time, to put on a fev
northbound specials: How abou
the Albemarle Limited, th4 Pamli
co Stopper, the Bay view Beacher
Sand Hill Blossom, Valdesian Vesti
bule, Tarhelium Mecca, and th
Western Highlands l)e Luxe. Mil
lions of dollars have been saved b;
saving eoal tar. Millions more an
ready if North Carolinians are no
afraid of using Tarhelium.
Will the earth ever stop spinning'
Until it does liooros will always hi
in style. "Now is the time for a!
good men to come to the aid of thei.
country" ? and it is now on in Nortl
Carolina.

HOME OWNING
BEST INVESTMENT
Washington. March 24.?Some
light is thrown on the perennial
question of whether it is cheaper to
buy than to rent by some building
) cost figures compiled by the Alex
ander Hamilton Institute, says a
e bulletin of the research bureau of
_ {the National Lumber Manufacturers' |
- i association According to these fig- j
. ures a duplex frame house may be j
? built for as low as 27 cents a cubic j
_ foot, and the highest grade detached \
, frame house cacn be built for 14 i
j} cents. High class apartments cost j
! 77 cents a cubic foot; cheap ones. |
?1 4*2 cents.
5 It would appear from these fig;
urcs that the investment in one's own
_ house of the best quality would be
- only half as much as the sum on
j which he would have to pay interest
r in a high-grade apartment. In other
words, it appears that a detached i
. frame house of the best quality may
I be built for half the cost of an
. apartment suite. That would leave
. the home owner with the interest in
. his pocket on the other half and ap,
plicablc to amortization of principal.!
- LAWYERS LECTURED
BY JUDGE MEEKINS
ij Fayetteville, March 23.?A lack of !
-! courtesy to witnesses, litigants and j
t the court, "waste of time and poor
II taste" shown in lachrymose pleas to
11 the jury, the emphasizing of half- j
i truths and inadequate preparation of
1 j their cases were some of the failings
j by which lawyers sometimes hinder !
, j the work of the courts and the ad-!
i ! ministration of justice, said Judge
t Tsaac M. Meekins in his charge to
-! the grand juryat the opening of the j
t United States district court here. J
, Judge Meekins did not intimate
r that all lawyers exhibit these short
comings, but that they are oncounter;!
ed all too often. "The basic ground of
- every court is truth," he said, and
t the bringing uot of only half-truths'
t is a geat hindrance to the dispensing
I of justice. As to the "lachrymose
t pleas," he said, "every man has a
* mother, arid many of them have

1'Night Coughing
Relieved At Once
j Why suffer continually from a perI
srstcnt, weakening night cough when
p you can get almost instant relief, and
b usually break the cough completely in
v 24 hours by a new method based on the
fr {'ininiic rir Ifinrr'c Moiir nic?<Aiinni)
Here is the method; You simply take
. one teaspoonful and hold it in your
' throat for 15 or 20 seconds before
swallowing it. It has a double action.
E It not only soothes and heals irritation.
- but also rcmovo the phlegm and cony
gestion which are the real cause of the
e coughing. As a result even the worst
, cough usually- disappears quickly.
Dr. King's New Discovery is for
coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spasmodic
croup, etc. Fine for children,
e too?no harmful drugs. Very economi1
cal,asihedoseis only one teaspoonful.
r At all good druggists. Ask for
GETS JUKI HELP
FIR LIIMBM
Back at work three clays
after simple home treatment
"Give me relief! Stop this agony!"?
that's all you can think of when you're
suffering with any acute pain.
And you can get relief?quickly and
completely?with a very simple home
treatment.
"I was in bed with lumbago," writer,
C. L. Normandy of St. Paul, Minnesota.
"A friend told me about Sloan's
Liniment, and after using it one day,
I was able to walk around the house.
After three days I was able to go to
work, and now I'm as well as ever."
The reason that Sloan's Liniment I
gives such remarkable relief is that it
gets right at the cause of the pain. It
stimulates the circulation throughout
the place where the pain is, and clears
out the germ3 that are causing it.
Right away you feel relief. The
pain stops, and soon you are fit as
ever. Get a bottle today and have It
on hand. All druggists?35 cents.
