Plain is a visitor to every home
*Dd usually it comes quite unex
pectedly. But you keep a small
bottle of 3|oan's Liniment bandy.
It is the urea teat pain killei ever
discovered. Simoly laid on the
skin?no ; rubbing reguired?ft
drives the pain away. It is really
wonderful.
Marvin H. Bolster, Berkeley,
writes: '"Last Saturday, after
tramping around the Panama Ex
position with wet feet, 1 came home
with my neck so stiff that I
couldn't turn. I applied Sloan's
l>iniment freely and went to bed.
To my surprise, next morning the
stiffness had almost disappeared,
fouf Hours after the second .spp!:
cation I was aa good as new."

SPECIAL THANKSGIVING SER
VICES AT AHOSKIE.
Srvaral Short aad Snappy Talk* at
Baptiat Church. Rot. R. L, Gay
Mahea Short Addraaa.
An interesting program was cap
ried1 out at the Baptist Church in
Ahoekie ou last Thursday night.
Thanksgiving night. The exercises
consisted of several short speeches
on the various reasons wliy we
should be thankful, and a plea for
the orphans of tlie state, and more
esnecially those at Thomasvilie.
Altho many of the town iieopie
had gniie to Norfolk, Richmond,
and other places to spend Thsoks
giving Day, there was s represen
tative crowd present, and the meet
ing was n success, both from n<iint
of attendance and amount of col
lection for the orphanage.
Those taking part on the pro
gram, and their respective subjects
wefe as follows: W. L. Curtis,
"Origin and Reason* for Thanks
giving"; F. O. Tayloe. "Reasons
Why the Town Should Be Thank
ful;" W. H. Miller, "Reasons
Why the Church Should Be Thank
ful;" Dr. C. O. Powell, "Why
We Should Be Thankful for Our
School;" J. Roy Parker, "Reasons
Wh.v the Young People Should
Be rhankful;" L C. Williams,
"Reasons for Thanksgiving as an
Individual." Following this pert
of the program. Rev. R. L. Gay,
of Washington, N. C., who is con
nected with tlie North Carolina
Ami Saloon League, made an earn
est plea tor the orphans, urging
uuon everyone to share their pros
nerity and blessings with those
who had been bereft of the advan
tages and priveleges of a temporal
home. His address, tbo short,
was chocked full of valuable and
inspiring thoughts, and it was
thoroughly enjoyed by all who
were present.
Tlie pistur, Rev. C. L. Dowell.
who had beeu called to Norfolk on
account of the burial of hie wife's
sister, was not able to be present
at the eutire service, but be arriv
ed on the 7:58 train in time to join
with those who had preceded him
in pleading for the orphans. After
the collection was taken, amounting
to about sixty dollars. Rev. Oay
plead With those present to do all
they could to wipe out liquor in
tip United States. He asked sis
many as would do so to write to
their congressman, Hon. J no. H.
Small, and ask him to support the
Hobeon Resolutions in the next
meeting of the National Congress.
These resolutions call for an
amendment to the constitution, pro
viding for nation-wide prohibition.
Following this request, the con
proration waa dismissed by Rev.
Oay.
Great Books Inspire Farm Bojs
and Girts.
We hope sometime that it wili
become general to have libraries of
well ctioaeu books attached to ev
ery school?book* on travel, his
lory, biography, economics, a/*
peutry. agriculture, cooperation,
health, art and general literature.
The purooee of the teacher is
not to complete education but to
wave a hand down the vistas and
say knowledge is to be found there.
The primary teacher can only show
the way. Too'often after the bo.v
and girl has left school they regard
the learning period of life is over
and the work period beginniug.
and if thev have this idea they are
never fit for any but the worst
work. It is when the mind is
young and flexible and ardent and
imaginative that it forms habits
and enthusiasms. It is by reading
first of all that the voung will get
ideas of a different life from that
their fathers and mothers have liv
ed, of a life quickened by thought,
by intelligent action, of beauty in
the home, and of a high standard
of living. Tli* imagination of the
young in cooperative matters will
leap enthusiastically to national
conceptions.
The idee of -a cooperative Ire
land, of a nation working in an
agricultural and industrial brother
bood will fire them, where there
parents will hardly see beyond
tbeir own narish and are content
to let their cooperation end with
their village. It is to youth we
must appeal if we are to make Ire
land a country with a high civili
zation. You cannot put too high
ideals before youth. It la recep
tive for great conceptions. It is
by the greatness of the desires of,
vouth today that the greatness of
our country twenty years hence
can be judged.?Geo. W. Russell,
Irish Homestead.

Announcrmsntolthe Winter Short
Course in Agriculture.
A four weeks' short course,
beginning January 10 sod ending
February 5, is uffered the farmers
of North Carolina by the Agricul
tural pud Mechanical College. A
special invitation is given them to
come to the college and stgdy in
the classrooms and work in the
laboratories for four full weeks
without any charge for the tuition.
While at tne college means may
be obtained in the mess hall for
twenty five ceuts each. Rooms
may either be obtained in the City
of Raleigh or at West Raleigh in
some of the boarding houses ad
jaceut to the college.
Special courses will be given in
Soils, Drainage, Fertilizers. Field
Crops, Fruits, Vegetables, Farm
Animals, Dairying, Poultry. Plant
and Animal Diseases, Marketing,
and Farm Management. The col
lege has a splendid equipment for
tlie purpose of giving practical in
struction along the lines mention
ed, and the opportunity offered the
farmer to improve himself in his
farming methods has never before
been equaled. This is due in part
to tne many changes in farm eon
ditions and to llta frequent impro
vements that are discovered from
time to time. The new dairy and
creamery at the anllege are now
shipping butter on a commercial
scale and will give new ideas along
these lines. The improved and
pure-bred live stock in the college
barna and the methode of handling
?sme should also be of interest.
The experiments on the college
and station farms and the method*
of cropping could, be studied, with
profit to any farmer.
For these reasons a lot of practi
cal. good, as well its a theoretical,
knowledge can be gained. The in
vitation is extended to every pro
gressive farmer of the State.

CRIMES AGAINST BABYHOOD.
Allowing the Chicago baby to
die has created a storm of pro tea Ui
from a large class of humanitarians
who believe tbat human life is
sacred and that the child should
have beeu given a chance to live.
On the other band, the doctor-who
allowed nature to lave its course
and who believed it was right y>
let the defective baby die to save
it front future misery and a life of
suffering has been zealously com
mended by others for bis service
to humanity in eaving society a
mental and physical, and probably
a moral, detective.
Probably no other case has call
ed for so moch criticism, both fav
orable and unfavorbala. It has
made people think. Peoole who
never before stopped to consider
what are the rights of a, baby or
what are the possibilities that are
concealed in sucb a helpless bit of
human flesh, mightily exercised
themselves over this incident.
Now, if all the energy, the emo
tion and sentiment that has been
atirred up over the Chicago baby
Could be turned into practical cbau
nels of service to ehitdbood and
young life, then the Chicago's ba
by's life and death has not been
in vain. If only a few of theories
so generously and vehemently ex
pressed could be put to work and
be made of practical service, the
living babies of today would be
lifelong debtors to the Chicago
baby.
For tboae who consider a great
wrong has been done and thai hu
inanity bss been sinned against in
this case, there is wide field for
thought and usefulness. Why not
begin applying here and now ~ the
ounce of prevention that will pre
vent scores and scores of such cases
from ever happening) Better ed
ucation of the present and future
fathers and mothers in matters of
health and child hygiene would
undoubtedly work wonders along
this line. There are many defec
tive babies firing ?t?da.r needing
attention and service. There are
diseased and subnormal children
whose defects could be easily cor
rectod -tmt fop the nriceTrhere
are babies dying daily for want of
ori per care and ferding and scores
are born defective for lack of pa
rental care. That these conditions
exist and continue to exist are
crimes against babyhood and hu
menii.v thst. indeed need protesting
