A Slrlktsa Illaitrallon-ItiEri tbe the Borne Uercusnl Spends ;; : Bis Profl'i Greensboro Daily News. : tYe have been an insistent be liever in trading with home mer chants. You can see what you buy, get what you want, and cause a larger circulation of your money at home. One of the most striking and pointed Illustrations of the advantage of buying at home is given in the following, copied from the Sample Case. It is an interesting story: v; ; Down' in Oklahoma the Other day a man went into a store o buy a saw. He saw the kind he wanted and asked the 'price'.) It was $1.65, the dealer safdv v ' "Good gracious,' said the man. "I can buy the same thing from Sears, Roebuck and company for $1.35" ..v. "That's less than it cost me,' said the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail order house iust the same." - "Alright." said the customer. "You can Bend it along and charge it to my account." "Not on you life," the dealer said. "No charge accounts. You can't do businesB with the mail order house that way. Fork over the cash." . , . The customer complied. "Now 2 cents postage and 5 cents for a money order." "What" "Certainly, vou have to send a letter and a money order to mnil a order house, you know." vj-he customer inwardly raving, kept to his agreement and paid the nickle. "Now 25 cents for expres- sage." - ' ' - -t .' .-- "Well, I'll be-," he said, but paid it saying: "Now hand me that saw and I'll take it home myself and be rid of this foolery "Hand it to you? Where do you think you are? You're in Ok lahoma and I'm in Chacago, and you will have to wait two weeks for that saw." , Waereupon the dealer hung the aw on a peg and put the money in his cash drawer.. . "That makes $1.67,' he said. it has cost you z cents pore and taken you two weeks' longer to get it tnan if you bad paid my price in the first place." . That story is not an eraggera tion, as anyone wno nas Kept a strict account of mail order house transactions, will agree.' It not only cost more in the long run and in the sum total, but it wast es a lot of time. It takes as long to write the order, 1 go to the postofflce and get a Money order and mail it as it would to go to your nearest dealer, and buy it outright and carry it home with you. " ; . . -., ' r Hand your cash business to your local merchant You expect him to accommodate you when your finances are'' close and he does. He spends his profits at home,, pays city,V county and state taxes, license .taxes, pur chase taxes, interest at the local banks, rent, clerk hire, etc. , apd helps support the . schools and churches."

Better to laugh, sing, screamv dance, anything but whisper. Whispering always arouses sus picion and a patient might sleep during a low-toned conversation but there is no sleep while v. bia- pering is going on. Don't stand just outside the sick room and talk. Either go in and let the patient hear what' you have to say, or else go where he cannot hear the sound of your voice. Don't let the sick room be the general sitting-room for the fami ly and for visitors. A Bick room should always be kept quiet, and tbe patient should be permitted to sleep or to respond to the calls of nature without the embarrass' ment of asking friedns to retire. Don't let food remain in the sick room. When food is brought to a sick person and he does not wish to eat let it be taken away. A sick person never acquires an appetite by the sight or odor of food. Don't permit bottles, glases, spoons and other utensils to ac cumulate in a sick room. When next you enter a sick room where there is a competent trained nurse note the scrupulous cleanli ness of every thing about he room. You will, find nothing to draw flies, nothing to cause diss greeabie odors and no accumufo tion of bottles or dirty utensils that suggest disease. Don't close up the windows and doors. Let the patient have plenty of freBh air. Y may not feel the ned of this' because you have been out of doors and filledyour lungs with air. The pa tient cannot get out. He is de pendent non the air of the room. Let it be sis pure and as Treshr as that outside. Jf the patient is cold, add more covering or apply artificial heat, but never convert a sick room into a closed furnace. In every sick room there should be at hand a thermometer which should not l egister above seven ty. - Don't speak of unpleasant things to the sick. Never tell a sick person of a death or of any unpleasant occurrence. Don't suggest to a sick person that something he has eaten or is about to eat will not agree with him. I have often wondered how a guest would, feel if, when invited out ; to dine, the boBt should ply him with Uuch ques tions as these: "Do you think you can eat it? Are you not afraid it will make you sick? Are vou nauseated? Do you want to puke?" And yet sick people, whose stomachs are far more delicate, are constantly asked just such questions as these. Dr. B. K. Hays, in The Progrea-, sive Farmer.

This does not mean that every case of consumption can be cured. Ad vanced caseB yield very slowly to treatment if at all. It does not mean that anyone having con sumption will get well without making tbe supreme offort of his 'life. Merely hoping to get well will avail little. To cure even an early case of consumption rcquir es an unyielding determination on the part of the patient that he will live according to well de fined sanitary and hygienic laws The-first step in the cure of the disease ij to recognize that the disease exist. Once estab lished, make no effort to dodge the fact: Then away with the idap that the illness is "only i deep seated cold" or "simply t bad case of stomach trouble". The issue most be squarely met. nemeraoer tnat early cases of consumption are frequently diagnosed as malaria, dyspepsia, etc. Better far, to take the view that the trouble is consumption and find out later that its malaria or something else, than to under estimate the importance of tbe trouble. . The second step is to provide a place for living and sleeping in the open air. By all means live out of doors in the open air and auqshine whenever the weather permits, ii you cn't camp out, put up a tent in your door yard or back yard, build a sun parlor on the south side of your house or enclose a porch aa a,sleeping api Sides of tne tent to be down, or the windows of your sun parlor. porch, or your sleeping apart ments to be closed except, to ex clude ra n or snow. Proper diet is of the greatest importance in the treatment of consumption. Consumption is a wasting disease. To counteract this tendency and to build up the body it is absolutely necessary that the consumptive be given nourishing foods in abundance. Mrllt'and raw eggs are perhaps the best article of diet known for this purpose. Individual cases will differ greatly, but in general, a consumptive will need approxi mately the following daily al lowance of food; two to three quarts of milk, three to eight eggs, four to eight ounces of meat,eix to eight ounces of bread, two ounces of butter, one help ing each of cereal, potatoes, and pudding, two to four apples and the juice of a lemon. Some pa tients will be able to increase this allowance 50 per cent or ev en "more, while others will do bet-" ter on perhaps 25 per cent less. Plenty, of rest is absolutely necessary. Keep a .careful tab on the body temperature and if the evening temperature rnha as high as 100, decrease the amount of physical exertion to half. : Above all things, avoid patent medicines, cough cures, "con sumption cures", ; and whiskey and other alcoholic drinks. Be cheerful, keep clean, bathe daily, foHow the instructions of a com petent physician, and your chaa cesfor recovery will be excellent : For further teformatiou on this important Ubject write to the State Board , of lealth at Raleigh for literature o to- the National f Assofciation i tot the Study and Prevention of Tubercu locis, at New York City, Dea'bo(rs. I. G. PjwkII. Mrs. Isa G. Powell, widow -of the late Edgar Powell, died at berhomeat Roxobel last Mon day night about! twelve o'clock of pneumonia. A f ter the tragic death of her son Gordon Powell who was killed and his body ter ribly mangled by a Coast Line train at Kelford a few months ago Mrs. Powell went off to the mountains to recuperate and re turned about Christmas and was soon taken with lagrippe which a few days ago developed into pueumohia. The weakened con dition of her heart from the ef fects of the shock when her son was killed and the attack of la' grippe hastened the end. the im mediate cause of death being heart failure, Mrs. Powell was a good woman and endeavered to make the world better by her life. She was a faithful member of the Episcopal Church and took an active interest in all the work of her church. She was also greatly interested in educational work and usually attended educational meetings not only at her home but at other places within reach. She was a visitor to most all the educational gatherin. s at Rich Square.. Mrs, Powell had a great ambition to train her children to become : useful citizens. She leaves two sons and a daughter, the youngest about ten years old. Since the death of her husband she managed her large estate well and left her business affairs in good shape. Mrs.- Powell was a strong friend, as was also, her late hus band, of the Roanoke-Chowan Times which she looked upah as her home paper.-. It bad gone in for twenty vears and she had furnished many valuable contributions to its columns, though her name rarely appeared in it. She was content in doing good in a quiet way,. her greatest rewara being a consciousness of duty perform ed. Tne Rlgbt Kind ol Ambition. ' iBy Miss Ethel FutrilU No man however great or small has accomplished anything wor thy of note without the actual experience of hardships and toils. All our motives for good or evil are centered on mankind, and we are always at work toward these ends. O ir great inventors have ne cessarily seen and felt the need of modern appliances of life, and no doubt realizing that by their patience, self-confidence and skill, tbe grinding labor of humanity could be greatly minimized and softened, they have exerted them selves physically and mentally until - they' ' have accomplished themselves to this great end. An inventor' is not essentially a phil anthropist nor are all inventions prompted by ambition or the de sire to attain fame and riches. It is true that the vanity of ambition is always grasping for the goal of fame, but it is also true that the nobler sentiments of man do not strive for fame alone, but rather for the better ment ni mankind and their occu ;It-'isi"thi? kind ' of imitioo Which, Id molt needed foi trie ds velopment of our nation today.

G. I Cowper, Uq , Delivers ii into Address on Tbe Subject to tbe Baptist Cborch. Kinston Free Press. Mr. G. V. Cowper. of the Kin ston bar, delivered an able and helpful lecture on "The World Wide Peace Movement", Sunday night in the Baptist church. The address was under the auspices of the Woman's Missionary So ciety of the Baptist church, and was heard by a large and inter ested audience. Mr. Cowper showed a peculiar familiarity with his subject and gave hia hearers something to think about. He showed that in the past not only nations resorted to war to settle their difference?, but that indviduals also employed arms with which to settle their difficul ties. However, as civilization ad vanced, individuals resorted to the courts for an arrangement of the disagreements. "Why should not nations do likewise?" Why not settle international differences by an international court, such as The Hague tribun al? War not so much as to its. cost in dollars and cents, but in its toll of human lives, has be come so revolting to the Chris tian nations that men of influ ence and means are giving freely of their time and money to bring about the conditions prescribed by tbe Golden Rule. Then it is that men and nations will "beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks, and nations will learn war no more." The address was inspiring and' will do much toward the cvstalli zatibp of Eentimcni'in support of t h& peace' movent eatt " ; X (Note: Mr. Cowper is a pro-' duct of the Roanoke Chowan sec tion, being a son of Hon.

A life is marred or made in youth. Character formed early in life simply unfolds an develops as the individual grows older. A boy who will cheat on the high school examinations will cheat on the college examination. He will not he.-itate to defraud his fellowman when he gets put into the world. A youth who will de ceive his mother, or his teacher, in seemingly trivial matters, will forthwith use deception in the - real issues of life. Such was. the record of the Rev. C. V. T. Richeson, Cheat- - ing, lying, and deceit, evil pro- .' penalties that characterized bis -voutb, have unfolded, multiplied, and developed, until his life is,, steeped in crime' and sin, and the .. death chair perhaps inevitably 4 awaits him.
