In a few dayi when Kinstou's paving program is com
plete, ahe can boast of being the best paved little city in
all tha country, for it is safe to say that there is no other
place which has as large per centage of Its opened streets
paved as has Kinston.
APPEAL FQR THE ORPHANS OF THE STATE. .
Elsewhere in this issue Is an appeal signed by Messrs.
M. L. Shlpman, Commissioner of Labor; James R. Young,
Insurance Commissioner, and Hifc'ht C. Moore, editor of
the Biblical Recorder, constituting a committee working
in behalf of the orphans of the State. A The1 attention of
tha, public is, directed,, fo the fact that there are thous
ands of boys and sjrjs endowed with faculties and pos
sessed of those characteristics and essentials which will
make of them useful men and women if given a propor
chance In life, who aire now suffering because of mi.sf or
tune for the actual necessities of life. The orphanage
institutions in the State are overrun, and are forced, be
cause of the lack of facilities, to turn a doaf ear to tho
worthy appeals of Countless children.
The committee has -set a goal for the State and arks
the people, irrespective of creed, to make an offering on
Thanksgiving Day for the benefit of the fatherless r.nd
homeless, who are destitute and who cannot be cared
tor with the present facllitiss. Such offerings can he
made through the churches, going from them .too their res
pective insttlutlons to enlarge their facilities; they may
be made through the lodges, likewise being directed to in
stitutions, If there be such representing the particular
fraternity, or individually. The committee has asked that
one day's Income be devoted to the cau3e, "ut offerings
will be acceptable regardless of whether a full day's in
come can be given or not.
The Free Press commends the appeal to the good peo
ple of this community and bespeaks the Interest of the
people In behalf of the homeless boys and girls.
Chief of Police Skinner is correct, we believe, In dis
couraging unnecessary arrostB. The Idea of some police
officers, new in the , business, is that they must make a
number of arrests In order to demonstrate their ability as
guardians of tho peace. The real test of the policeman's
ability, however, Is the orderliness preserved in the terri
tory covered toy his beat, and not by the number of ar
rests made. There are a multitude of insignificant and
unintentional Infractions of the law which, as Chief Skin
ner advises his men, only need caution from the officer
to prevent repetition, and we are hopeful that the idea
of making a record In the police court for cases handled,
without regard for their Importance or necessity, will be
d.'icouraged.
NORTH CAROLINA RANKS FIRST.
Through the persistent and efficient efforts of the State
Board of Health to rid tho State of unhealthy and unsani
tary conditions, North Carolina no longer. trails hor sis
ter states, In the Union In high percentage of deaths, but
according to the Federal census of vital statistics, now
ianca first, with the lowest death rate of any of tho At
lantic States. .0
One of the benefits already being derived, says a bul
letin, of the State Healthy Department, from this good
record Is the fact that life insurance companies are again
coming into the State and offering more attractive propo
sitions to prospective policy holders. The vital statistics
law has played i's part In bringing about this encourag
ing Improvement in the health records, and the efforts
of the State Board of Health should receive the commen
dation and support of every citizen of the State. It is
no mean record to stand first, 'but even that exalted posi
tion does not necessarily mean that the -stopping point
haa. been reached. There is JplfjjPty of room for still fur
ther improvement. Let the good work go on!
A FORLORN WAIL!
The National Wholesale Liquor Dealers Association is
vainly endeavoring to boost its business and lead its sup
porters to believe that prohibition is not prohibitinjr, and
that the annual consumption of liquor is increasing in
spite of the banishment of the legalized liquor traffic
from state after state.
President Debar of the Association,, in a recent address
in answer to a statement of the National Superinteiid.nl
of the Anti-Saloon League," endeavors to show that there
is not as much real dry territory in the United States now
as there was in 1855, and that the per capita consumption
now Is much greater than it was then. We dare say in
the latter Mr. Debar Is correct. For sixty years his or
ganization, 'tfostered by the United States Government,
under the guise of revenue, has cultivated a nation of
liquor consumers, but It is practically certain that there
will be no further Increases in the per capita consump
tion. The march of prohibition is heing felt, and it is a
Torlorn wail which comes from the liquorites' headquar
ters. Mr. Debar cites tho internal revenue figures,
claiming that the tax receipts for 1916 exceed those for
1915 by $13,000,000, "all of which (thinks Mr. Debar)
proves very conclusively that prohibition does not prohibit
hut simply changes the channels 'of distribution, destroys
revonue and makes impossible proper regulation and con
trol." If this is tho case, the question naturally arises in the
mma oi tne average person wny Air. ueoar ami tin as
sociation aire so opposed to prohibition. They are cer
tainly not interested In diverting their funds into the
public treasury unless it be for "expected considerations"
other'tlihn the privilege to do business. Their past rec
ord everywhere attests full -well that fact, and as to regu
lation and cor.trol, they might as well talk about trying
to rogulate or control a dynamite factory in the Infernal
region,-, The liquor demon has never been regulated nor
controlled. ThereT are perhaps some scattering instances
where regulation and control have been in effect, 'but the
nature of the beast doesn't permit regulation and control
on the average. His banishment, tooth and toe-nail, hair
and hide, must be realized, and we are sanguine In the
hope that such a reality Is coming much sooner than Mr.
Debar would want the impression to get out.

Drink Hot Water and Take Tassco.
Haven't you often wished for a
medicine to reduce your flesh? Some
:h i n that does riot require dieting
r calisthenics? Well, right here
you have it in 5-grain tassco tablets,
which you may secure at E. 1J. wars-
ton Drug Co. They are pleasant to
ake, perfectly harmless and cause no
restrictions of habit or eating, and
educe the flesh, little by little, until
ou arc down to the number of
pounds you wish to Weigh. Too
nuch flesh is undesirable, as mcst
luite stout people will readily ad
mit, and it detracts from one's good
appearance; makes one clumsy and
;hort of breath.
There isn't any reason why anyone
should be too stout, when there's this
much-tried, perfectly satisfactory
remedy at E. B. Marston Drug Co.
Tassco tablets , fdon't forget the
name) are recommended 'by physi
cians and ure- uuHiaiiiei'd tu lie per

if you can not cotjae to our store, we

THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT
Kver VJJ?n' theidead hairs in your
comb and brush? They are nature's
warning of future baldness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff geirm is
busy on your scalp.
Dr. Sangenbund, the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dan
druff and falling hair are caused by
a microbe. Then came the, discovery
of tho value of the real Parisian Sage
(liquid form) in destroying the dan
druff Kerm and promptly preventing
the further loss of hair. The effect
of only three days' use of Parisian
Saps is simply marvelous, and the
American people have now awakened
to the fact that they can be quickly
rid of dandruff and save their hair
by using Parisian Sage.
Parisian Sage is sold by .1. E. Hood
& Co.. and good druggists everywhere.
It's inexpensive, daintily perfumed,
f ee from stickiness, and will surely
cause hair to grow soft, lustrous
and really seem twice as abundant,
