J) HEALTHY .TYPE OF GIRL IS BEAUTIFUL - ' , : « '\ C' 3 & ' : "-- . ' ■ ; % •••:.. J|lg: ;>: v * % * * 3wpM||g|jgj|||jjj|M p : \ H | — —— ■————.— 1 | No girl, no woman can be truly beautiful if she is not healthy. | An external semblance of beauty can be realized to some extent $ through the use of cosmetics and face lotions. The truly beautiful type of girl is the healthy type, exemplified by Betty Dumbris, of Ziegfeld's Broadway success, "Whoopee," who needs no make-up, except for stage or screen work. Miss Dumbris says that the attractive glow of beauty comes through good health, attained by I good daily habits. The first principle is to keep the mouth clean» J the breath sweet; the voice clear, and to ward off the first signs $ of a cold. She stresses the importance of this N so that she will | not disappoint her public by losing time through illness. Her | great secret is the daily use of the lastingly effective French | antiseptic known as La Lasine which avoids colds and the many § other ills caused by the germs of dangerous diseases that start | in the mouth. Now that the season of sore throat and colds is | here, and those With weakened bodily resistance being susceptible | to its devastating ravages, no better preventative is known than 1 the use of La Lasine at least once a day as a mouth wash or throat spray to check these diseases.

APPRECIATES GRIFFIN'S ARTICLES. 4 Wake Fprest, Jan. 4.—Dear Mr. Alcock: The Forest City Courier has recently been coming to our library. May I say to you how plea santly I have been impressed with the contents of your paper? You may perhaps have noticed in ; the Magazine Section of a recent New York Times an article on Sher- j wood Anderson, who has only a short I time ago undertaken the editing of j a small-town paper in Virginia. Mr.» Anderson believes, so he says in the | article referred to, that to Be editor j of such a publication is a delightful i occupation. I have been particularly interested ' in Mr. Clarence Griffin's sketches,! which we are keeping for our clip- J pings on North Carolina. Very sincerely yours, E. T. CRITTENDEN, Librarian. I _ | After a younger man has made his j first ringing speech he should buy | the ring. # THE FOREST CftT COURIER, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1930. SHILOH NEWS Rutherfordton, R-l, Jan. 6.—Rev. E. P.

I PRODUCE MORE FEEDSTUFF, GOVERNOR TELLS FARMERS i Shelby, Jan. 6.—Governor Gard ner, whose live-at-home program is taking rapidly over the state, does not believe that the farmers of his home county, whom he has helped make famous, are standing on the brink of ruin just because they will make 60,000 bales of cotton this year. During his Christmas vacation spent in Shelby he devoted many hours /to horse-back jaunts about Cleveland county and it was his ex pressed opinion that Cleveland mers are living at home just as much now as they were when they made only one-fifth as much cotton as they do now. His one urge to the farmers of his county, before re turning to Raleigh, was that they produce more hay and feedsuff in 1930 and do away with every scrub bull in the county, thus increasing the quality of the numerous dairy herds. •- A man's head is like his pocket book—it's not the outside appear ance but what it contains that j counts. Mr. Morrow Writes Of Florida Trip (By D. F. Morrow.) Interlachen, Fla., Jan. 2.—On De cember 30th, in company with my wife and Miss Effie Morrow, we motored out of the good old town of Rutherfordton, and on to Forest City, Spartanburg and dinner at Columbia. Here we left Miss Effie Morrow and continued our motora tion till we landed in Aiken, S. C. at j about 4 p. m. Along the way there ! was more or less signs of Yuletide I season. Forest City was decorated with! cedar and colored incandescent light j bulbs, as was Rutherfordton, butj Spartanburg, Union, and Columbia, had left it off. Not so in Aiken, for j here as darkness came on the blink- 1 ing colored and bfight lights were ■ dazzling everwhere. No use crying hard times when the j bright lights and the decorations of 1 the towns along the way call you "aliar". Aiken had its share of Christmas, because the porter at the i hotel said so, and porters know. The J head waiter at our hotel here is 1 from Rutherfordton and he said /MIS\ 2g c SALE I JM A 25c sale at your A&P Food Store is a sale event fl 1859 of importance.

This is one of the ! oldest winter resort towns in the j south. Long before the war between the state, back in the sixties, many people from the North spent there , visits here. Among the number were j many prominent and distinguished I northerners who came for the climate , an d the hunting deer, chasing the | fox, and enjoying southern hospitali- j jty, which, then abounded in every' I household as tyell as in the palatial ! hotels, for which the place was then | famous. Of course it got a black I eye, during the war in the sixties, i | but no signs of any black' eyes so | far as the town goes, but Christmas j j had given a few fellows black and j j rf-d eyes. The old town looks good j i ar *d is today famous as a winter re- j ; sort. From the golf club bags in the ! lobby of our hotel and the fine cars ! | parked outside one would think the j whole place was a golf course and i 1 they do have three play grounds the j porter said. Next morning we hied; ( away in the direction of Florida, | I and spent the night at Waycross, ! Ga. This is a town of about the size j | of Forest City but has many hotels, j a good place to stop, and there is j I more optimism here than any nlace I have found. Even the merchan" j say business is good. I guess most of | us have had the blues so we just can't ; help joining in the cry of "hard j times." Lets quit, work and econon : omize more and the blues will die a i natural death. From here we went via Jacksonville to my winter home, at Interlachen, Fla., and found the same old bunch pitching horse shoes land playing checks in the sunshine |in the park .Its a nice place to be, so kick off the snow and the blues and come on down. Next week the Rab bit Race will be pulled off here. DEPEND UPON BOYS AND GIRLS IN DIVERSIFICATION i w \ Shelby, Jan. 6.—The farm and ' home demonstration agents of Cleve land county are going to depend jupon the boys and girls of rural Cleveland to emphasize Governor j Gardner's live-at-home program in I the governor's home county, i Four-H club work, they believe I will do much, through the boys and girls, to make Cleveland county a | county that lives entirely at hom£.
