However, as one of these trouble of long standing. Glynn treatments is recommended for that a native of Alabama. We live in queer, dangerous aays. In Seattle the Government wants to dismantel an innocent VwUny broadcasting station. Every evening a lady, wife of ti.e proprietor, sent through the air a eautiful bed-time story. What eoald be purer, mure innocent? The Government says MANY things could be more innocent, for the Ied-time story sent out con tained code information for boot leggers. That's queer. Every wetk a firm on Long Island senJs a J5.000 payroll to New Jersey by flying machine. The idea is to keep above the bandits. In due time bandits also will get flying machines, just as they got high-powered automobiles. President Coolidge is consider ing the tariff on sugar. That tariff, so high, is a hardship on ear friends in Cuba. Cuba com plains that it is higher than it need be to give profit to sugar (rowers in the United States. Sugar is necessary to the tealth and growth of children, necessary, also, by the way, to those that obey the Constitution and do their distilling inside of their own bodies. The President undoubtedly will settle the sugar question having in mind the needs of millions of American mothers. This story comes from Ann Ar bor concerning the magnificent University of Michigan. Twenty Tears ago a mining property at Liaoma. Ontaria, was deeded the anivenity. The giving of the foe was then looked upon Joke; U hadn't any value.

But the i evolution in civilization will come in men's brains, and come slowly. It wont some through machinery, although that will help. Ken invented machines that aught to have freed the slaves. Bat they fastened wage slaves to die machines. They invented fly ing machines, and their first real se was dropping T. N. T. and poison gas on other white men and an savages.

The sympathetic cure advocated in a book entitled "Choice and Experi mental Receipts in Physick and Chirurgery" and published in 1688, as follows: "With an iron nail raise' and cut the gum from the teeth till ' it bleed, and that some of the blood . stick upon the nail; then drive it into I a wooden beam up to the head; af- ter this is done you shall never have ; the toothache in all your life." j i Anions the many alleged cures for 1 rheumatism, feelingly referred to by Augustus Borrell as "that worst of all i the isms," are these. In Holland it ' is believed that a potato begged or I stolen is a preventive, while in cer tain parts of Northamptonshire it is still held that the right forefoot of a hare kept constantly in the pocket j is an efficacious remedy. The tale goes that some years ago a servant in an old world district i of England was found to have been 'confirmed three times, and on being questioned, said that she had dis covered that confirmation was the I most efficacious method of treating ' rheumatism. The curing of smallpox in the Middle Ages, according to ancient chronicles, presented no difficulties. John of Gaddensden, physician to the Court of Edward II of England, adopted the simple expedient of wrapping his patients in red cloth. These are his directions: "Let scar let red be taken, and let him who is suffering from smallpox be entirely wrapt in it, or in some other red cloth; I did this when the son of the illustrious King of England suffered from smallpox. I took care that all about his bed should be red, and the cure succeeded very well." Dr. D. E. Gerin, of France, on bis w; to America, should have as warm a welcome as t usually reserve for priinvs and others that never did a day's work. Dr. Gerin comes to demonstrate a new method of treating pneu ssoma, before the member of the New York State Physicians' Or ganization. With this new method, six hundred cases of pneumonia were treated, without one death. Dr. Gerin also treats pernicious anaemia without blood transfu- Miss Carrie Bodenheimer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harrison Bodenheim er, of the Abbott's Creek section, Da vidson county, died recently in the state hospital at Morganton at the age of 42 years.

High Point will wage war on rats this week. The government estimates that there are 44,500 rats in the city. American tractors are used in handling the crops of East Africa. Over in a secluded spot in Forsyth county it is said that not many days ago a grand cock fight lasting two days was held. Spectators and those who had fighting cocks from three states came to witness the fights. More than a hundred people gathered around the cock pit to see the con tests between the roosters. One man is said to have entered a score or more roosters and to have gone away with four bags full of dead chickens. OLD VIRGINIA FRUITCAKE In Fancy Decorated Tins 8 4 Boy Babies and Young Mothers If the mother is young the chances are greater that the baby will be a boy. When the mother is forty or beyond the probability is stronger that it will be a girl. This is the con clusion of Dr. A. S. Parkes, based on the record of over eight thousand births at a hospital in Manchester, England, we read in Science Service's Daily Science News Bulletin (Washington). To quote further: Mothers averaging around fifteen years of age bore children in the ra tio of 163 males to every 100 females. Mothers about twenty years of age had 120 males to every 100 female children. Mothers who were about thirty years old bore 112 boys to every 100 girls. Those about forty years of age had 91 male children to 100 female; and the ratio decreased still more for still older women. . Dr. Parks is careful to point out that his facts do not necessarily conflict with recent scientific ideas of sex-determination. These modem ideas teach that among the higher animals, including man, the female exercise no influence 1 on the sex of the offspring since egg-1 cells are all alike. The male parent, j however, forms germ-cells of two I kinds in e()ual numbers and maleless or femaleness of progeny depends up- j on which of these two kinds of cells i happens to fertilize any egg. The decision as to sex is irrevocably made at fertilization and Dr. Parkes's sta tistics are for a subsequent event, i. e., liirth. Between these two events a dying off of the unborn has been no ted which for some unexplained rea son affects males more than females. ' This early dying-off increases with ! the age of the mother. "So science would naturally expect sons to be less frequent, on the average, in old- j er households." I it lb Size -.' lb. Size 6 lb. Size D. P. Pound Gake, lb D. P. Light Fruit Cake, lb. D. P.
