The "FLU" Is disappearing aa suddenly aa It came, but In Its wake
It has left the deadly effects of Its toxins. The Influenza, or three
days fever as It Is sometimes called, does not produce death In It
self, but the complications do the deadly work. The toxins or
poisons attack all the vial organs, principally the lungs, kidneys,
heart and Intestines; and unless the proper steps are taken to correct
the lrregulartles, the unfortunate ones may sooner or later fall
victims to the following diseases: Pulmonary tuberculosis, Bright'!
disease, Cardiac disturbances, and the various forms of gastroin
testinal disorders.
It is a very good Idea to ask your physician for a good tonic,
keep your eliminating organs in good .order by taking a standard
laxative occasionally, and drinking plenty of hot water; then rub
your chest thoroughly with CREFT'S BRONCHO SALVE every night
before going to bed.
CREFT'S BRONCHO SALVE Is not a so called secret prepra
tlnn, but is made up of the following well known remedies: Men
thol; Camphor, Thymol, Oil of Gaultherla, Oil of Eucalyptus, Icthyol,
Kuplnol and Petrolatum, In standard quantities, seientiflleally coin
pounded by a process of our own. By rubbing the salve vigor
ously on the skin, the body heat gradually liberates the active prin
ciples, which when Inhaled will act directly upon the delicate cells
lining the bronchial tubes, bronchioles and air vescicles, thereby
stimulating them into normal activity, and at the same time destroy
ing whatever germs that may have gained entrance therein.
CRFET'S BRONCHO SALVE is Sold Everywhere.
PRICE THIRTY CENTS PER PACKAGE

The People Are Turning to Herbert
(From the Clinton Dispatch.)
This is not the time for machine
made nominations. The people want
a U'un with clear-cut opinions of his
own, yet iu accord with those that
have dominated the Wilson adminis
tration. The people are turning to
Hoover. It doesn't require a party
lag to identify him as a man of ra
pacity, while his declared principles
speak for themselves. Party tags do
not creut democracy. It is clear
Hoover is a Democrat whatever tag
one should wish to place upon him;
at least, his views and policies accord
wiih what this writer has held as
democracy, unless ii is on the tariff
question upon which he has not yet
expressed himself. However, with
the bulunre of trade so greatly in
America's favor, the tariff question
ii not likely to loom large during the
next few years, and if such Republi
cans as Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl
vania, see no likelihood of a demand'
Tor a high tariff, there is little prob
ability of Hoover's urging higher
limits. Hence, the Democratic part)
may safely nominate, hint and tuny
really expect to elect him. While
failure to nominate him will mean the
loss of thousands of Independent
voles.
See what the Monroe Journal says:
"Failure oT the Democratic party to
nominate Herbert Hoover for presi
dent may cause thousands of Tar
Heels to vote for that gentleman on
n coalition ticket. A number of
North Carolina University students
have avowed their Intention of sup
porting him regardless of his party
affiliations, and The Journal knows
of several prominent Democrats in
Union county who nre of the same
mind. The demand for Hoover
conies from the people, and the poll
ticians. should they prevent his nonil
nation bv wielding some of their
popular tricks, are liable to wreck
the Democratic party. Though Mr.
Hoover has not stated his politics, II
is a manifest fact that his leanings
are toward the party or Jefferson ami
Jackson."
House Dis:i)H':ired in Mexico.
(From the Springfield Republican.)
The report from Mexico of n house
which disappeared In the subterran
ean depths dnriig the recent earth
quake, the people in it being kept
alive by rood ronve)ed to them from
above finds a clo.se parallel in the fa
mous Riobamha eariluntako in South
America on February 4, 1T!7. Hum
boldt, who made n careful study of
that disaster, speaks of "the sinking
of massive houses In which the in
habitants could open Inner doors and
for two whole days before they were
released by excavations passed unin
jured from room to room, procured
lights, fed upon supplies accidentally
discovered, and disputed with each
other upon the probability of their
rescue." During the series of great
earthquakes In Arkansas in the early
19th century houses were built on
long logs to reduce the danger of
their sinking Into a crevice In the
earth.

The coal situation during February and March $
has been the worst we have ever experienced. In ad- i
uition to a coal shortage and a car shortage, it has
been impossible to get coal delivered by the railroads
after being shipped.
A large part of the coal shipped to us has been
confiscated or gone astray.
Naturally we ran out and Monroe has faced a
real coal famine, along with Concord, Salisbury High
Point, Thomasville, Greensboro and other towns.
However, we are getting coal delivered now with
fair regularity, and can make prompt deliveries on
ton and half ton lots.
!
We are not in any position to make prices on coal
for summer delivery as yet, due to the fact that all $
Vi vntmnn LA.'.J ...UU 4.1 1 J ! i
mc iiiincs at e ueiunu v ua ineir oiuers anu Will noi
make any contracts, until they find out what the
Board appointed by the President is going to do re
garding wages.
The foreign trade is offering fancy prices for
both steam and domestic coal, and higher freight
rates are predicted, with no improvement in the car
shortage soon, so we believe we are safe in saying
that prices on coal will not be any cheaper, after the
Government turns loose the coal industry on April
