Spencer Chapter of the Bed Cross
Arranges for a Concert in the
School Building on Tuesday.
(By A. W Hicks.)
Spencer, March 20. Following the
agitation started a year ago by
the Fraternal Order of Eagles as to
the cost of the retail delivery system
Lof merchants, Postmaster W. D.
Ppthcl hps made a thorough canvass,
of Spencer, to ascertain the cost and;
number of men engaged in this ser
vice. The data gathered by the post
master shows the following: Number
of men employed in regular delivery
service, 7; boys employed, 9; horses
and wagon, 9; motor deliveries, 4;
cicycks, 4; cost of the delivery ser
vice per month, $850; annual cost,
$10,200.
This expense represents 5 per cent
on annual sales aggregating $204,000.
It is contented that a large per
cent of this expense is entirely un
necessary; can be avoided by the
market basket system for every
household, and under existing con
ditions this labor could be used for
more patriotic purposes, the horses
used in agriculture, and an approxi
mate saving of five per cent effected
for the benefit of tbe consumer.
This matter sprung Up ip a meet
ing of the Eagles some months ago
under the head of "Good of the Or
der." The nve.mbers took to the idea
at once and the high cost of living
has kept it before them. In making
his rounds in Spencer, Postmaster
Pethel found the merchants favorable
to such a plan. They were very will
ing to furnish the facts as shown. It
is of course well known that in the
end the consumer pays the deliverv
man. It is with a view of saving this
expense that the agitation has been
kept up. Postmaster' Pethel figures
that by using the market basket sys
tem approximately $10,000 could be
invested annually in War Savings
Stamps in Spencer alone, by the con
sumers without )y additional outlay
of money. It is figured that the nine
horses that are now seeing hard ser
vice on tbe streets could be made to
produce something like 10,000 bushels
of corn and the men so engaged could
fined more useful employment.
Beginning today meetings will be
held in the various departments of
the Southern railwav nhnns in Rnon.
eer for the purpose of selling War
bayings Stamps to the two thousand
employes here. Th meetings will
cover a period of a week or more, un
til all departments have been reached.
W. D. Pethel, who has been giving
considerable time to the sale of these
stamps for a month, will be on the
spot prepared to issue Thrift stamps
to the employes while the meeting is
being held, during the noon hour. The
first meeting held today during the
dinner hour was largely attended.
Mayor W. H. Burton and Supt. C. L.
Bunch are assisting the postmaster
in this work as a patriotic move and
are participating in all the meetings.
lAe fcpencer chapter of the .Red
Cross has arranged for a concert to
be given at the school building next
Tuesday evening at 7:30, the hour
being moved up in order to give an
opportunity to attend an Eastern
Star entertainment in Salisbury the
same night. The program consists
of solos, reading and choruses by lo
cal talent. The proceeds will go to
the work of the Red Cross which "is

HELPED HIS WIFE
She'd Twist and Turn All Through
tbe Night, Put .Now She Sleeps
Like a Baby. Tells What
Did It
The burdens of life are not equally
borne by jnen end women.
, Women too often suffer from some
weakness that ' was never intended
for them by nature.
When troufcJe or hard wofk xr ex
citement fiye rendered the nerves so
Mde-awake that sleep is" denied, the
over-tired brain must be helped to get
quickly back to its heailhy, normal
condition or serious mischief ensues.
Dreco, thje wonderful herbal medi
cine, aims to accomplish this as noth
ing else ever has done. Its mission is
to bring the disabled, debiliated nerv
ous tissues the peculiar nerve food
Which they must have to build up
their pfarts.
"My wife suffered terribly from
pains in the back and limbs, consti
pation, headachtes and1 worst of all,
sleeplessness," declares the well-
known Tar Heel farmer, R. D. Gourley
R. F. D. No. 3, Winston-SaW "She
would fall asleep early in the night
but would iwake up soon and would
lay and bear the clock strike every
hour until morning. She would twist
and turn all night and was always
more tired in the morning than when
she went to bed. O
"A friend told us of Dreco and how
it had helped just such a case as bb is
'jmd so we decided jto give it a trial.
Were mijjhty glad we did that now
because it certainly gave us splendid
results. My wife sleeps like a baby
now, all night long. Her fains are
gone and she iuw has a good aprje
tite, the first time for years. I want
three more bottles of Dreco now, so
we can both ta&e it as I believe it
will make me feel 20 years younger."
Dreco is known throughout the Tar
Heel State as the one herbal medi
cine that accomplishes results in cases
of severe stomach trouble, constipa
tion, rffeurahtism and similar ills.
- It is sold by all good druggists and
:s recommended strongly in Salisjr?
