Thursday, September 16, 1915 AMERICANS MUST BE AMERI CANS. Dr. Dumba. the Austrian am bassador to the United Slates, has been handed his passports and Vienna notified that his presence in this country is not desired. By doing this Presi dent Wilson has shown that persons of another nationality residing in the United States must learn that foreign born American citizens cannot legally hold gallegiance to the country of their birth, and must respect the laws of this country and not assume that their loyalty to the mother country giv93 them the right or privilege to carry out polices calculated t) ruin busi ness in the United States for the benefit of their mother country. Dr. Dumba had plan ned to call out the Austro-Hun srarian workmen in the steel plants and the ammunition fac tories, the fact being brought out by the interception of a let ter he had written to his govern ment. Butter and Steak. Butter and steak is mighty good eating. That is, good but ter and good steak. The other day we went into a New York Cafe. At least, that is what they called it. Wa called for •'steak and coffee." We got that and a little more, And it was a little more, too. The Sut ter! you ought to hava seen it. J.t looked well enough what {here was of it. And there was plenty of it, such as it was, It looked like more wouldn't hurt, It seemed that it had been cut with a safety razor. Ic was as thin as paper. It barely hid the bottom of the little plate. It was hardly a taste. At that way of serving, we couldn't figure out why butter was so high. Tiie demand might be great, but 1 the supply seemed to be very thin. And it was not good butter, either, Tne reason was, it was not made here in Hickory at the Catawba Creamery. The coffee was not the best, We drink better every day. But the cream and sugar gave that a passport, Any way, it went down without a single complaint, as heard. But the bread was dry, dark and W. could not tell where made, nor bow long ago. But there is one thing certain, and that is, it was not prepared and baked here at our City Bakery. Ellington can beat that without fire or water. His bread is always white, soft, sweet and tender. But now listen! That steak was large, tender and juicy. We have not seen as good steak here since old Brindle died ten years ago. It is not our butchers fault altogether, neither. And it certainly has not been the fault of our cafe managers and cooks. They can fry as good steak as anybody, if it could be had. Our steak—most of it—has had the juice squeezed out of it—milked out, Most of our beef is made out of cows that have been milked dry. The reason is, there is no other kind of cattle. Most of the male calves are killed while young, six to eight weeks old, and the thing is growing worse. The people, even the farmers, do not know how much the country is losing by it. It is sinful swapping away good beef for milk and butter. It is bartering away high-tone profit for lowdown cash. It is wrong to butcher up the little calves, when they should be allowed to grow up into good beef. Stop it. Selah. To Drive Out Malaria And Build Up The System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC. Yon know what you are taking, as the formula is printed on every label, showing it is Quinine and Iron in a tasteless form. The Quinine drives out malaria, the «on builds up the system. 50 cent? Register Cooks and Nurses. A number of cities and towns in North Carolina have passed ordinances relative to the regis tering of washerwomen. The orninances. in most case 3, de mand that all washerwomen shall have certificates of good health and shall furnish sanitary premises and pharaphernalia for doing their work. But this bit of sanitary legis lation is being protested against 1 y the housekeepers, not that it is deficient in itselt but that its £ cope is too narrow to be effect ive. If infection is going to be kept at its source and not allowed to spread to homes and to other individuals, which seems to bo the purpose of the ordinance, why not include the registery of cooks and nurses? They are as, or more, important as disease spreading factors. Said one lady, recently, speak ing on this subject: "Of four servants I employed consecu tively, three had infectious dis eases. Two were consumptives and another had even a worse disease. For quite a while each kept her symptoms conceiled and taking it altogether, my family was exposed for weeks to these terrible diseases," There is no doubt but that nurses, cooks and washerwomen do directly expose innocent fam ilies to contagious diseases. There's no greater source of dangerous and infectious dis eases than a careless, ignorant cook. If she has a mind to, she may pass many infectious germs across the board to the unsus pecting family. We are not pes simistic enough to believe that there are many such, but we know that such has been the case in a number of instances. Oftentimes they themselves are not aware of their condition. For instance, Typhoid Mary and Typhoid Anna. Eleven cases of fever occurred in the the three families in which Anna was em ployed, all within two yeirs. She herself did not know that she was a "carrier* until she was suspected and examin ed. Yet the intimate terms of the cook and the family are ap parent. A certificate of health for the cook, nurse or washerwoman would not only protect the em ployer's family but it would be a means of obtaining better health and a higher standard of service for the employed. Furthermore, it would be means of protection against fairness, on both sides. —Bulletin N. C., Board of Health. .First Mletl)o&ist (laurel) pi)ilatl)ea Motes September 5, 1915. Notwithstanding the bad weather Sunday, we had 32 members present and two visi t3r. c . Mr. A. M. West, our teacher, who has been to New York buy ing his fall goods ha> returned. We were glad to have him fill his place Sunday. Miss Jo Moore, who has been away for over a month visiting in Covington, Ky., has returned. She presented a beautiful picture to the class which * adds very much to our class room. Miss Annie Deal has returned from her trip to Washington, D. C., Baltimore, Md., and New York. We regret very much to give up two of our members. Miss Sadie Frye has accepted a posi tion in Greensboro and will be away probably all winter. Miss Erroll Bolch has gone back to Shoals, to teach, she also will be away seven months. She taught at Shoals last year. We are glad to have Miss Edna Stroup with us this winter. She joined our class Sunday. She is teaching in the South Gradea school building. The Next Best Thing to the Pine Forest for Colds is— Dr. Bell's Fine-Tar-Honey which goes o the very root of cold troubles. It clears the throat and gives relief from that clogged and stuffed feeling. The pines have been the friend of man in driving away colds. Moreover, the pine-honey qualities are peculiarly ec feotive in fighting children's cdd. P emember that a cold broken at the tart greatly removes the possibility o: } complications. 25c. ' 1 Southern's Test Department. "Every material used in the operation of Southern Railway must meet certain strict stand ards for the raiiway cannot risk the human lives and yaluable ooods entrusted to its care to equipment or structures compos ed of inferior material nor can it afford to pay prices calling for the best of material without knowing that »t is in reality Ret ting the best," says The Southern News Bulletin for September in an article describing the Test Department of Southern Rail way. An idea of the strict standards prevailing and of how they are enforced may be had when it is understood that, during the past year there were rejected 1,545 tons of new rail, over 365,000 pounds of steel shapes, 2,500 bags of cement, 15,200 feet of signal wire, 4,393 pieces of air brake hose, 726 frogs, switches, and crossovers, 9,100 boiler tubes, 6,300 car and engine bras ses about 900 car wheels, 1,246 car axles, 1,000 kegs of soikes and 31,000 pounds of waste. The article describes the severe tests which car wheels, axles, rails, and all material for locomo tives, cars, and bridges must withstand. Some of the work of the Test Department is done in the chemical and physical labora tories at Alexandria, Va. t but a great deal is done by inspectors who are sent to plants where material is being manufactured, While safety is the first pur pose of the Te3t Department its efforts are also directed to econ omy to see that the railway does not pay exhorbitant prices and that it realiy gets the quality of material for which it pays.

The Government is now at work collecting data to„ ascer tain exactly what the consump tion of cotton has been for war purposes. I have seen unofficial estimates running as high as three million bales. If that be true, then the 17,000,000-bale crorr would be cut down to 14,- 000,000 bales for ordinary com mercial purposes, and if the war goes on another year, with the extension of its area (sure to oc cur), the consumption will be still larger—especially as the United State 3 is to start placing herself upon a proper military footing. In times of peace the consumption of cotton at the powder plants of America does not exceed twenty thousand bales. The extreme capacity of the DuPont works at tle begin ning of the war was only thirty thousand baleF. Tin great de mand from the European govern ments has extended this plant so that it is consuming three hun dred thousand bales a year. One pound of cotton is said to be needed to make a pound of powder, and it is estimated that four thousahd bales are consum ed thus every day the ,var lasts. It has been stated in the papers that Germany intended to use flax as a substitute for cotton, since she has captured the great [flax-producing regions by the fall of Warsaw, but I think that is pure bluff,- because while they may be able to use wood pulp and flax to some extent in making nitro-cellulose, it lacks what is called the ballistic power of cot ton, and enlar- An Elephant and His Trainer With Gentry Bros.

It irritates the effected parts. Keep your stomach, liver and bo vels healthy and d ) ti'ci d■l ri for a cough that will affect them. Simple harmless remedies, such as sugar, salt, etc., will often remove the tickling. Remedies applied externally will often do the work, and not hurt.
