00,000 POUNDS
OF FRUIT CAKE
Local Concern is Turning
Out Popular Christmas
Delicacy by the Ton.
A distinctive Carolina product, manu
factured at Charlotte, Gastonia and
Greensboro, is being1 put on the market
for the pre-Chrlstmas season as a spe
cial holiday delicacy in such shape that
it is expected to do for the three cjties
named what beer did for the fame of
Milwaukee, what the Annheuscher
brand of that beverage did for St. Louis,
what, rice did for the fame of Charles
ton and what beans did for the fame of
Boston.
More succinctly expressed, the Caroli
na Baking Company, which has for
three years been winning fame or a
popular fruit cake of its own making
and from its own recipe, has taken the
forward step of selling all cakes in a
handsome brown-painted, highly-attrac
live tin box that holds' a five-pound box
of the rare fruit cake which the makers
are so proud of.
The tin. box really and truly looks
'ike a work of fart, so white and spiok
and span Js it within and so artistically
embellished with eppropriate designs on
the outside. Even after the cake is used
the box will serve handsomely as re
ceptacle for articles in the kitchen or
in the house.
Thirty thousand pounds of the cake
have been made this year and the new
steps for popularizing the product are
expected to greatly increase the de
mand. It is specially designed as an
appropriate Christmas gift.
A description of the goodies" that
go into the making of the delicacy is
calculated to make the mouth, of any
Epicure water. Among the listed con
stituents ere cherries imported from
France, Hawaiian luscius raisins, nuts
of every kind, eggs, sugar and other
dainties.

HUH!
The cheerful grin and a lifted chin
May help as you suggest,
But a couple o' sips from your ruby
lips
Adds zest, my girl, adds zest.
You have to take things as they
come in this life unless you are an
expert dodger.
THESE DAYS, THAT'S RIGHT.

"My car neds to be overhauled very

"Very badly, eh? In that case I
should take it to Doolittle and Poor."
"Why to them particularly?"
"Because w:th their bum mechanics,
they will do it as badly as possible."
OLD NEGRESS VIEWS
"SWINE CONVENTION"
That "Pigs is Pigs" is undoubtedly
the belief of an old negro woman who
sought to enlighten her mind by prob
ing into the Shriner's convention here
Wednesday, according to Jake Newell,
of this city.
Mr. Newell was standing by the
Southern railroad station when his at
tention was first caled to the old wom
an. She had a negro girl by the hand
who appeared to be her daughter, and
seemed to be anxious for the next train
to pull in. Finally it did, and the old
woman rushed forward with a shout,
literally drrgging her daughter along.
As the red turbaned individuals de
scended from the cars, she exclaimed
to her daughter,
"Chile, dem is de Swine! Dey sho is
swell lookin'. Dis here is gwineter cer
tainlv be a scrumptuous Swine coven-tion!"
TURKEY FOR FOCH.
Greenwood, S. C, Dec. 9. An im

has been sent to the local legion post
by Mrs. B. W. Wat kins of Chappels. to
be prepared and presented to Marshal
Foch when he stops here for a half hour
today.
To one loss we indite a doleful tune,
They said that we would see it very
soon,
Oh, what can have become of that
triumph

For one and pages him ?n pits and
stalls.
What has befallen, will some spirit
tell '

way,
A-warrior of France, come for a

And on all conversation put the

Mysterious the power behind the

Say, what can have become of Col.

A vice crusader started out at
night
To set the evils of the city right
A minister who notd around here

Where can the reverend have flown his
kite?
A man who kept a family of five
On forty cents a day and stayed
alive
Has not been interviewed in quite a
spell.
Into what dark deep river did he
dive?
Mamoun and Zubeideh owned a little
shop and they worked very hard. When
the customers came they could not
help laughing at them, because Ma
moun and Zubeideh were really funny.
They argued and fought nearly all the
time; but they kept on working, ,1'heir
little shop was open to the street and
One reason we l'ke the movies is be
cause we can't hear the actors talk.
Even a sick child loves the "frulty'
taste of "California Fig Syrup." If the
little tongue is coated, or if your child
is listless, cross, feverish, full of cold,
or has colic, give a teaspoonful to
cleanse the liver and bowels. In a few
hours yuo can see for yourself how
thoroughly it works all the constipa
tion poison, sour bile and waste out

Millions of mothers keep "California

Fleischmann's Yeast is a food not

Avoid the nse of so-called yeast preparations. Many
of these contain only a small amount of yeast as little
as one-tenth of a yeast cake mixed with drugs or
medicines. The familiar tin-foil package with the yellow
label is the only form in which yon can get Fleisch
mann's Yeast for Health. Be sure it's Fleischmann's
fresh Yeast. Do not be misled by yeast-substitutes.

a crowd would collect when they made
a sale. The customer would enter into
the humor of the situation and he
would buy. One day Mamoun said to
Zubeideh: "Let ts give up our little
shop and amuse the public." .
"By my life," pnswered Zubeideh,
"seest thou naught? Thou are a fool.
Why should me amuse the public?" -
An argument followed and they were
funnier th;n ever. Finally Zubeideh
understood that which Mamoun meant.
.With their savirgs thc-y built a thea
ter and tl en another theater and all
the time they amused the public. There
with they became rich end famous.
By Allah, the lighter, side of life

LADY NICOTINE.
Flapper, you're an awful curse.
When I feel well you make me ill.
If I am sick you make me worse,
And, given time, you're apt to kill.
The doctors say you hurt the sight
And put our nerves upon the blink.
You surely scrap my appetite .
And ma'je my spirits rise &oJ sink.
You make me blue; you get ray goat.
You make me fume and fret.
You dry the lining of my throat.
