What Doctor* Think of Coca- Cola. Prof. M. H. Holt, of o*k Rid?e Institute, in this State, thinks coca-cola is u din beverage and has written to number of eminent physicians for their opinions on the subject. Extracts from some of the replies are reproduced below. Dr. James McKee, of the State Hospital for the Insaue (at Ral eigh) writes: "I think the gov ernment owes it to its develop ing youth to place restraint up on the sale of coca-cola, because with the cheapening of this drug comes the increased use of it, and with the increased use of it comes moral depravity of young men, who eventually wind up in mania and dementia." Dr. J. D. Spicer, of Goldsboro, says: "I consider coca-cola as in jurious to the mental, moral and physical energies of the addict ed, and tends alike to sap the in tellect and sooner or later de stroys the usefulness of the whole man." Dr. P. L. Murphy,of the West ern Hospital for the Insane at Morganton. says: "I do most un hesitatingly condemn the use of coca-cola." Dr. H. F. Long, of Sttesville, writes: "Those who drink coca cola will soon have the habit fixed upon them, and will fall easy victims to whiskey, mor phine or cocaine. Next to the last, it is the most harmful drink I know of." , Dr. H. T. Bahnson. the cele brated physician and surgeon of vVmston-Salem, writes: "I am sure that coca-cola drinking is one of the worst habits that a young man can form, and doubt if the alcohol habit is any worse. The sale of the poison ought to be prohibited by law." Dr. Stewart; McGuire,the well known physician of St. Luke's Hospital, Richmond, Va., writes: "I regard coca-cola habit as ex tremely yrejudicial tohealth;and think you should use every legiti mate means to arrest its devel pm ent among your students. — Progressive Farmer. Industrial Education at A. & M. College. "The world is demanding men who can do, as well as think," says President Winston. "The best equipment for a young man to-day is technical skill, knowl edge and power. A century ago education was for the few, and was designed to equip them for the learned professions; to-dav education is for the many, and is ' intended to fit them for life's practical work."

'*l don't want to be a walking advertisement to your . store. I read the town papers [ as all intelligent people ought to . do, and I think in them is the . place to advertise your business. Instead of asking your customers i to carry your sign around with each purchase of goods, go and . tell the people through the pa ; pers what you have to sell and . how you sell it" , When to Advertise. There's nothing on earth so fun nyas an advertisement The ; prime, first and last and all-the -1 time objects of an advertisement . is to draw custom. It is not and i never will be, desigued for any I other purpose. So the merchant waits till the busy season comes and his store is so full of custo mers that he can't get his hat off, and then-he rushes to h ; s printer and goes in for advertis ing. When the dull seaspn gets along and there is no trade and he wants to sell his goods so bad he can't pay his rent, he stops advertising. That is, some of them do; but occasionally a level headed merchant does more of it, -and scoops in all the business, while his neighbors are making mortgages to pay the gas bill. There are times when you could n't stop people from -buying everything in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door and that's the time when the ad vertisement is sent out on its holy mission. It makes light work for advertising, for a chalk sign on the sidewalk could do all that was needed, and a half-holi day six days in a week; but who wants to favor an advertisement? Tnev are built to do hard work, and should be sent out in dull days, whon a customer has to be knocked down with hard facts, and kicked insensible with bank rupt reductions, and draggedjn with irresistible slaughter "of prices, before he will spend a cent That's the end and aim of advertising and if ever you open a store, don't try to get them to come when they are already sticking out of the windows, but give them your advertisement right between tne eyes in a dull season, and you will wax rich and own a fast horse and per haps be able to smoke a cigar once or twice a year. Write this down where you'll fall over it every day. The to draw business is when you want busi ness, and not when you have more business than you can tend to already. • , People take newspapers nowa ■ days, read them and then throw ; them away.jjThey never think what a source of pleasure and profit —or reminiscence and - thought, a file or even a few 1 numbers of such a paper would J be to them twenty or thirty years f afterwards.
