Spring Hints. Here are a few suggestions to aid the ambitious in the worthy project of getting through the spring alive: Don't shift your underclothing prematurely. Better a little dis comfort to the skin than a sore spot on the lungs. Control your fireplaces and the furnace fire by the thermometer, not by the calendar. Keep the air in your house moderately moist by means of pans of water placed under the radiators or near the registers. Take a cold bath every morning; there is no hotter de fense against taking cold. Keep your distance from people who cough or snuffle; a cold is as contagious as smallpox. Avoid dust. Don't say, "Oh, it's only cold." The cemeteries are full of people who will never say that again. Coughs and Consumption. Coughs and colds, when neg lected, always lead to serious trouble of the lungs. The wisest thing to do when you have a cold that troubles you is to get a bot tle of Dr. King's New Discovery. You will get relief from the first dose, and finally the cough will disappear. O. H. Brown, of Muscadine, Ala., writes: "My wife was down in bed with en obstinate cough, and I honestly believe had it not. been for Dr. King's New Discovery, she would not be living today." Known for forty-three years as the best remedy for coughs and colds. Price 50c and SI.OO. Recommended by all druggists. Look To Your Plumbing. You know what happens in a house in which the plumbing is in poor condition—everybody in the house is liable to contract typhoid or some other fever. The digestive organs perform the -same furntlnim in -the- Ivawsan • body as the plumbing does for the house, and they should be kept in first class condition all the time. If you have any trouble with your digestion take Chamberlain's Tablets and you are certain to get quick relief. For sale by all dealers. i Message To Road Builders. The most important prdblem j the American public has today, a ! vital one, involving the in dividual welfare and prosperity of every citizen, no matter what his calling may be, is the ques tion of the proper construction and maintenance of roads. While a great deal is being written on the road question few people actually realize the enormous waste and loss which this fertile country of ours is being subject ed to t>y the poor roads. Statis tics show that the actual loss, | due to poor roads in this country, ! amounts to millions of dollars, land if we attempt to estimate j the entire loss through the [shrinkage in land values, loss jin time apd cost of getting pro ducts to market with wear on | equipments, the total figures are beyond comprehension. We submit to you a modern and scientific method which j overcomes the one big item of j waste and expense in the old I system, a method which not Only brings splendid results in perfect roads, but does it at less | cost; in other words, a new up -1 to-date system of doing the I road work, whereby the tax payer gets his money's worth on every dollar expended instead of reckless waste and no roads. The only proper way to build land maintain roads is to do the work with an inexpensive, light, yet powerful two to four horse machine which can be operated by one man, a machine that is a marvel of strength, consider ing its weight, a machine where in mechanical principles have been applied to obtain great strength where needed and to pre j vent skidding, thus eliminating i the useless costly heavy material formerly supposed to be neces- I sary. A machine to which one man can hitch a team and build, maintain or repair a road or dig a ditch; getting over the ground twice as fast as the big grader, doing practically the same amount of work, produc ing splendid results at Wonder fully low cost, and above all, a machine that has made good. Such a one is the Clide Grader. Its merit and superiority has made the Clide, in this short time, the dominant machine in the field and wherever we sell a Clide repeated orders results. We put the Clide out under an absolute guarantee to give you satisfaction and to be exactly as as represented. Note the liberal conditions of our blanks. Cer tainly we could not send this machine all over the United States on these terms unless the Clide was right in every par ticular. We replace any broken or defective parts free of charge for one year from date of ship ment, and every machine is set up and very carefully inspected before leaving our factory. Trusting I .vay serve you for every thing needed in road building and grading. T. J. THORE. Westfield, N. C HOW'S THIS ?

Editors Danburv Reporter: As the election on the bond issue for good roads is and was defeated in some townships, I want to give my views on a road system. Nearly all the people 1 have talked with on tho subject of good roads say they want Rood roads, but are op posed to the bond issue and are willing 1 to pay a direct tax for the betterment of roads, Now, I think that it is just and fair to work the roads by taxation as the majority of the largest prop erty holders are road free and it dosn't cost them anything to keep them up and they are the ones who have the most use for them and there are a good many who own property in the county who are non-residents and a good many who are exempt from road duty. I, for one, would be willing fo • the com missioners to levy a special tax for ro.id improvement of 50 cts. on the hundred dollars worth of property and 51.50 on the poll, and let each township have its own money and do away with free labor and lay off the roads in sections and lay a plan under which the roads should bo worked and let them out to the lowest bidder and let the ones who bid them off have the right to turn and grade a road where it could be bettered and have the damage assessed and pay for it. If the roads were opened wider, side ditched and thrown up in the middle it would be a great improvement without sand claying. If they could be worked under the above plan those who bid otr the roads would see that his hands would put in a day's work while under the present system some of them d> not put in more than 4 day's work. J. P. COVINGTON; Springtime Conservatism. Be conservative about.spring. Don't let the small boys and girls get too optimistic, either, about these warm days. Shoes and stockings will not hurt them much for a few weeks longer. The ground has not gotten thoroughly warmed yet. There is still too good a chance to catch that last spring cold if we let all the fires go out, change from heavy to light underwear, lay off our vests, or cast aside the shoes and stockings all at once. Better do these things gradually, one at a time, instead of all at once the first warm day. It is rather strange how other wise sensible men and women will go from a hot, dry-baked air indoors to the other extreme outdoors these days, and then refer to the resulting cold or pneumonia as a "mysterious dispensation of Providence." Their own conduct ordinarily is the only mysterious thing about it. Neatness and order are as contagious as diphtheria. Watch your neighbor follow your ex ample when you clean the yard, plant flowers, and care for the lawn. Pains in the Stomach. If you continually complain of pains in the stomach, your liver or your kidneys are out of order. Neglect may lead to dropsy, kid ney trouble, diabetes or Bright's disease. Thousands recommend Electric Bitters as the very best stomach and kidney medicine made. H. T. Alston, of Raleigh, N. C., who suffered with pain in the stomach and back, writes: ""My kidneys were deranged and my liver did not work right. I suffered much, but Electric Bitters was recommended and I improved from the first dose. I now now feel like a new man." It will improve you, too. Only 50c and $l.OO.

Misunderstanding of What Constitutes the Divine Penalty For Sin Has Mis led Us In Respect to Every Feature of God's Program For Our Recovery From the Penalty. Rochester, X. V., l"U't elie 111' il.t c'ljp Corinthians MBMBjly The Pastor said that la order to gl!sSElo' 'ipi'recinte tlie Scri|itures on all suhjects, we must handle the Word ot (JIHI honestly.

The Scriptures declare that the Ite dcenier took the nature of men In or tier to redeem sinners; hut that in illin there was no sin. Only a sinless one could irlvc (•; (Pid a Uansoni for Adam, mid thus redeem from destruction, not only Adam. I.nr all his posterity, in volved in sin and dentil through him. The speaker then showed that tiocl set before our Lord a great Joy, the liilltieuce of which led Jesus to endure rhcerfullv tl.e bitter experiences of Ills earthly life. This joy Is intimated to have been: iti His pleasure in doing the Father's will; (2 1 His privilege of "bringing many sons to glory"—the Church: (,'ti His pleasure and joy In lie ill',' by and by the world's Restorer, de livering them from the power of Satan, sin and death. "Wherefore." St. Paul says. "(Sod tint li hiirhly exalted Iliiu,'' far above "ain.-els. principalities and ,lowers., nnrt every inline that is named." An Opposite Course From Satan's.

(Phil il (J.) He thought not by robbery to tie equnl with !od. On the contrary, our Lord willingly accepted the Divine pro posal that He should lie humbled to the human plane for a time, in order to carry out the Father's Plan To the Church. Jesus Is God's 1111 spenkable (Sift, lie Is indeed a Gift to the whole world, unspeakable in value, but He is more to the Church than to the world. To Ills footstep followers. He Is the "Captain of their Salvation." their Bridegroom, their "Elder Itiother." their great High Priest Through Him they are priv ileged to be the ltoyal Priesthood. Through the merit of the sacritice of Christ, they are privileged to "present their bodies ilvtug sacrifices; holy, ao ceptable unto God." The Pastor then said that Justice Is the foundation of God's Throne. In the past, endeavors to harmonize Jus tlce with our great Creator's dealings with htimnnlty have Involved us tn difficulty. We were assured by the prominent creeds that God had know tngl.v brought mankind Into existence under such conditions that the threat majority would spend eternity tn tor ture We perceived no Justice tn any such arrangement. But while desist ing from criticising the Creator, we could not Indorse such n course, nor see It to lie In harmony with the Di vine regulations governing ourselves If we lire to love our enemies, should more be expected of fallen human be ings than of our perfect Creator? The Scriptures declare only the con secruted Church see the "lengths breadths, heights and depths of tt-e Love of God," which passeth under standing. This class alone Is tn nt:? sense prepared to give thanks to God now for His unspeakable Gift. Their thanks go up. not only In words, but also In actions, which "spenk louder than words." These thanks ascend as sweet incense to God. By and by. "All the blind eyes will be opened and all the deaf ears will be unstopped." Then the whole world of mankind. Including those awakened from the sleep of death during Mes slab's reign, will be in condition to rec ognize God's unspeakable (lift and ren der thanks. When wilful evil doers shall have been destroyed, then every creature In Heaven, on earth and in the sea shall be heard saying, "Praise, glory, honor, dominion and might be unto Illm that sltteth on the Throne, and to the Lamb, forever," through the unspeakable Gift.

ECONOMY IN DAIRY. The problems of dairying are not at til mysterious or difPcult of solution.

A good dairy farmer has been de scribed as " a good general farmer plus the love of cows." This is a jood definition, because the man who loes not have a fondness for satisfae ion in caring for them seldom turns nit to be a very capable and prosper ous dairy farmer. SILAGE FOR CALVES.
