The Legislature is hard at work
now disposing of the various bills
introduced. A week ago was
set nB the date, after which
no mort bills would be in
troduced or considered. This
art.cn may have cut out some
that ' would have
been usefuU but at the same time
it eiitninited the flood of bills that
would have poured in up to the
last hour.
The freight rate question and
the proposed constitutional amend
ments are the really important
matters which the Legislature met
to consider.
Freight rateß have claimed much
attention of the general public and
the entire State has become inter
ested by reason of the fact that
more information has been pub
lished than ever heretofore about
the discriminations against their
State. For weeks and months the
State officials and railroads have
been trying to get to an agree
ment, and while the last proposi
tion of the railroads is not all that
the people wish and ultimately
hope to obtain, yet the proposition
will afford much relief. The Dem
ocratic caucus Monday night ap
pears to have concluded that the
proposition was a long way to
ward Ihe desired end and almost
unanimously A'oted to accept It.
This action does not preclude the
making of better terms.
The proposed constitutional
amendments are receiving atten
tion, and we do not believe that
any of them are going to be pass
ed over with undue haste. These
can be threshed out in the Legis
lature better than they can when
they come before the people for
ratification. Two of these—the
"initiative and referendum" and
that for providing for reading the
Bible in the Public Schools—have
been defeated.

• SCHOOL NEWS. •
The first Teacher*' Meeting of
the year which wai held laat Sat
urday Jo the court house was a
complete success. Miss Reinhsrdt,
the County Supervisor of white
schools, read a paper on "Things
That a Rural Teacher May Do,'
that was full of practical instruc
tion for the improvement of the
various phases of school life.
Dr. Harper, President of Elon
College, made a most excellent
addi'Ms on "Teaching the Lesson".
It was clear, pointed and practical
—the kind of address that the
teacher can carry home with her
and use.
Many plans for the year's work
were announced and discussed by
the Superintendent.
The interest manifested by the
large number of teachers present
—72 in number—was very gratify
ing. It indicates promising hopes
for a successful school year.
The Olencoe school is adding a
new room- to their house. This
will make for that place a con
veniently arranged two-room
house which, is expected to be
painted and properly equipped
throughout.
The Friendship School will give
a District Pair on October 26th, on
the school grounds. A complete
premium list has been issued for
the occasion. This list comprises
the following • departments : Live

Itaieigh, Sept. 26, 1913,-Dr. Oor
don, President of the Board of Di
rectors of the State, Sanatorium
for the Treatment of Tuberculosis,
at Montrose, to-day introduced a
bill in the House to place the man
agement of that institution in the
hands of the State Board of
Health.
Thib action has been taken be
cause it has been found that the
Sanatorium could best be operated
as a part of a comprehensive
Stale policy in the prevention of
tuberculosis. It is planned to de
vote a bureau in the State Board
of Health offices to the subject of
the prevention of tuberculosis.
This bureau will take the form of
training school, in which the State
Board of Health will endeavor to
enroll every tubercular person in
the State. The Sanatorium will be
analagous to a Central univeriy
around which will be built up a
great correspondence school.
Another provision of tWe bill in
troduced by Dr, Gordon is thpt
every case of tubertaloiis in the
State shall be reported to this bu
reau at once in order that the
Health Department can immedi
ately begin a course of instruc
tion. It Is estimated that there
are approximately 15,000 tubercular
persons in this State. While U
cannot be expected to have all the
tubercular people In the Stat* en
people in the State entered in this
school, yet the good that will re
sult in teaching 'only a part okf
suit in teaching only a part of
these people how to cure their
disease, and how to prevent ita
spread to other people will do
reducing our high
tuberculosis death rate, and with
a little more education along this
line the correspondence school and
the Sanatorium will be able to re
duce our high death rate from this
disease.

GUNSHOT WOUND* CAUSE UT
TLC PAIN WHEN INFLICTED.
Many Cases Where Soldiers Have
Been Wounded and Didn't Know
It—Explanation of Suffering
Caused by Amputation.
1 was shot In Cuba In '>B." says a
well-known army officer, "and I did
not know it for a while. It was nofe
of course, a pleasant situation. It
was Just like the sting of a pin or
a knife when the skin la broken. It
waa nothing to knock a man down. I
knew of many caHSa during the war
with Spain where a mac did not
know he waa shot until somebody
showed him the blood running down
hia ahlrt or trouaers."
Similar teatlmony Is afforded by an
•army surgeon, who has served for
many yeara. He treated many gun
ahot wounda during' hia time and waa
himself shot, a circumstance that
qualifies him to give a doubly expert
opinion.
"A mlnle ball passed through my
left leg at Bhlloh," says this surgeon,
"and I did not experience any particu
lar sensation except, perhaps, one
similar to being Jabbed with a sharp
pointed knife. I felt the ball go
through the skin, but It gave no sen
aatlon In passing through the muaclea.
That, of courae, la on account of the
greater number of nervea in the akin
aa compared with the muaclea. The
ball paaed almoat entirely through
my leg and waa removed a consider
able time later, but I suffered almoat
no Inconvenlenoe.
"The wound, of course, swelled, as
any wound of the kind will; but I
should Imagine that the bullet now In
use would cause much lass trouble
snd pain than the old round bullet, as
the shsrp point of the conical bullet
enters the flesh very readily."
There is a great deal of misappre
hension as to the Intensity of the
pain caused by the entrance Into the
human body of various objects. Many
persons fancy that If a man is shot at
all he must therefore suffer Intensely.
The reverse Is true. A slight wound,
a mere abrasion of the skin Is some
times far more painful than a wound
caused by tile entrance of a bullet
directly Into the muaclea or even Into
a bone. The akin la filled with nervea,
and when any of them are torn by the
ball the pain la extreme.
If the bullet plunges directly
through the akin Into the body, the
only nervea dlaturbed are those In the
comparatively a mall spsce the bullet
strlkss. Since there are few nerves
in the muecles, the nerves of the
akin convey the sensation- of pain to
the brain. In the same way the
greater portion of the pain experi
enced In the amputation of op arm
Or a leg Is occasioned when the skin
is cut, and the subsequent cutting
the muscles and the sawing of the
bone, in which all the pain Is pop
ularly suppoeed to be centered,
amount to little In comparison.—Har-

"I meant no reflection on the char
acter of the witness." be apologised
later. "He la not an Intentional pre
varicator; hia Judgment haa almply
been corrupted by automobiles.
"In addition to all the conscious
mendacity the motor car Is responsi
ble for It must also be saddled with
ths blame for a lot of unintentional
lying.
"For one thing. It has sntlrely de
stroyed man's senae of speed. Before
Its advent any man who knew any
thing about horses could gauge pretty
accurately the speed of s passing ve
hicle. Now a horse trainer himself Is

ittmple Fundamental Rule* Kept la
the Memory li the Only Secret—
•unahlne and Freeh Air the
Two Main Requlettee.
In thla day when lace la In lta ele
ment the proteealonal cleaner* must
be reaping a fortune (Imply from the
iaco (rocks and blouaea, petticoats,
hats and neckwear that are brought
to them to be made spotless. For
most women are afraid of lace. They
will tackle gloves and shoes, velvet,
silk and chiffon "wlht a will, but they
balk at lace.
, » In reality lace Is no more difficult
to clean than any other fabric. If you
know how to do It. But, of course, to
be successful as a lace cleaner you
must take the trouble to learn some
thing about the various methods of
cleaning and drying.
Wash net, which Is much used for
blouses and frocks, can be washed and
dried and Ironed just like any other
cotton fabric. It should be carefully
Ironed, of course, so that It will not
be pulled out of shape. There Is little
danger of stretching it; In fact, it
•brinks a little. But as It must be
Ironed when fairly damp In order to
come out fresh-and new looking, it
is easily pulled out of shape in the
Ironing.
The secret of washing lace success
fully is to get most of the dirt and
dust and grime out of it with as little
rubbing as possible. First ahake the
lace in the open air and give it a
bath in the sunshine. Sunshine, by
the way, and fresh air are friends of
lace, just aa dust and darkness are It*
worst enemies. Then, after sunning
and airing it, soak it in lukewarm
soapsuds. For this suds dissolve shav
ings of castlle or other white soap in
boiling water, and to every gallon of
water add two tables poonfuls of
borax.
It the piece of laoe to be cleaned is
small, the easiest way to clean It is
to put it in a big fruit Jar, cover it
with soapsuds and let It stand for
four or five hours. In the days when
Coal fires were the rule, even In sum
mer kitchens, good results were had
from putting the jar containing lace
and suds In a cool oven at night and
Jeavlng it there until morning. The
heat of the oven kept the temperature
of the soapy water at a low heat,
which was effective in extracting
every grain of dust and dirt
While the lace Is soaking shake the
jar from time to time. If it is very
soiled change the soapy water two or
three times. Of course If the piece of
laoe is too big to get In a Jar, sou
it In a big granite saucepan or tub.
When the lace seems clean rinse it
in three or four changes of clear luke
warm water. Don't rub the lace when
it is In the soapy water and don't
wring It when It Is In the clear water.
To get rid of the water simply press
the lace firmly between the hands, or
press It between two clean bath tow
els. When it is moderately free from
water pin It, right side up, on an Iron
ing board.
If It Is' necessary to stiffen the lace,
dissolve a little gum arable In water
and add this to the last rinsing water.
In the case of pure white lace a little
blueing should also be added to this
■rater.
Lemon Roly-Poly.
Half a pound of flour, three heap
ing tablespoonfuls of butter, one large
Juicy lemon, one teaspoonful of pow
der and sugar to taste. Rub the but
ter into the half pound of flour with
the tips of the fingers, add as much
cold water as will make it into a firm
paste. Roll this Into an oblong shape
about half an Inch thick, keeping It
square at the corners. Orate the yel
low outside of the lemon and strain
the Juice. To this add the teaspoonful
of flour and as much sugar as will
make It into a thick paste. Mix It
well and spread It over the paste. Wet
the edges and roll It up, fasten it at
the ends and dredge It over with flour.
Wring a pudding cloth from boiling

FARM t
POOITRY
ARRANGEMENT OF NEST BOX
Canadian Expert Recommend* Uee of
Earth or Overturned Sod, Covered
With B£raw or Chaff.
A nest can be made out of an old
box 'About IS inches square and six
Inches deep. Professor Oraham of the
Ontario Agricultural college recom
mends that "some earth or an over
turned sod be placed In the bottom of
the box, taking care to have the cor
ners very full so that no eggs can
roll out from the ben and get chilled.
Next' put on about two inchea of
straw or chaff; and then put a few
earthenware eggs into the neat. Place
the nest in some pen where nothing
can disturb the hen, and put her on
after dark. Feed and water must be
within easy reach and a dust, bath
should also be convenient If the
hen is setting quietly the next day it
will be safe to put the egga under
her."
Another neat bo* that has given
considerable satisfaction, la made la
three compartments. A 12 inch board
cut in three four foot lengths and on*
used for the top, one for the hack,
and the other for the bottom. The
partitions and ends are made of the
same material eat is one foot lengths.
Along the front la a four Inch strip
to keep In the litter. To this is hinged
a slatted door, which, when opened
forms a platform In front of the neat.
The work of filling the neats and set
ting the hen can be proceeded with aa
already, deeoribed. These boxea may
be plletf one above the other.
When the hens are let off the nests
to feed, the doors of the nest boxea
should be closed, which compels the
hens to remain on the floor until they
have had a chance to feed. The heas
will not re torn to the same nests, but
this is rather likely to be of benefit
than otherwise. All hens do not set
at exactly the same temperature, and
an oecaalonal change averages ap the
temperature for all the settings of
eggs.
No hen should be allowed to set, a»
lesa she Is free from lloe. The laa*
tlon of the bird la eondudve to rapid
multiplication of any llee there may be
on her. These will make her Irri
table and a poor setter. In addition,
should she bring off a hatch in such a
condition,., the chicks will be open to
Infection. Do at the hen- well with
flowers of sulphur or some other to
eect powder before setting, and again
a day or two before the hatch fin
ish es.
About the seventh day the sen
abould be tested. the Infertile oaee re
moved. and the balance pat back la
the nesta. After testing it la usually
found that the eggs from foer heat]
can be pot ander three. This leaver
one hen with no eggs, and a new aet
ting can be put under her.
When the chicks arrive two or three
batches can be put with one hen,
which leaves more hens at liberty to
sit, or If there la no more hatching
to be done they can be pat back la the
laying pens. -
