Gluten is the only nourishment in wheat or flour, the balance is only starch. “WICHITA’S BEST FLOUR’' is over 25% richer and stronger in gluten than any soft wheat flour, and will naturally absorb more water or milk. Any baker knows this because he gets 32 to 40 lbs. more bread out of a barrel of hard wheat flour than it is possible to get out of a barrel of soft wheat flour. The economy to the housewife is that she can use a little less WICHITA’S BEST FLOUR when baking bread or biscuits, and it will make as much bread or biscuits as had she used a larger amount of soft wheat flour. Therefore, every sack of WICHITA’S BEST FLOUR will Hst the housewife several days longer than the same sized sack of soft wheat flour, and she saves money even when WICHITA’S BEST FLOUR is 10 to 15c higher per 241b sack than soft wheat flour. The above has been known throughout the north for a long time where prac tically all the flour sold is hard wheat flour. The consumers in this section are just now be ginning to realize this important fact. Sold and Recommended by the best dealers who ofter their customers best values A.

BIG DEVELOPMENT IN BURKE COUNTY Beginning Gigantic Water Power and Electrical Installation— All Land Purchased. Morganton, Jan. 18.—So far very little publicity has been given the fact that Western North Caro lina and especially Barke county is the site of the beginning of the most gigantic water power and electrical development in America, and that developments are taking place involving many millions of dollars. The two largest electrical power companies in the world, the South ern Power and the Niagara Falls companies, and a smaller company in which Mr. Millner, of Morgan- ton, is associated, are quickly but surely securing the vast multitude water power afforded by the Ca tawba, Linyille and John’s rivers and their tributaries and these companies have purchased and op tioned practically every acre of land within the proposed scope, and covering a territory of over 1,000,000 acres and involving ex penditures which will reach far into the millions. Commencing six miles above Linville falls and covering the stream to Shortoff Mountain, thir ty miles below, with its water fall of nearly 2,000 feet, a company of which Niagara Falls Electric com pany is said to be the dominating power, has secured land and op tions covering every foot of the stream. This development as now proposed is for the purpose of establishing one of the largest ni trogen plants in the world, ex tracting nitrogen from the air and the manufacture of its various by products, and surveys have been made contemplating the extension of the Cranberry-Johnson City railway to Linville Falls as well as having access to the C. C. and O. Starting at Shortoff mountain at the lower edge of the lands con trolled by this company the South ern Power company has purchased and optioned every acre of land on Linville river to its intersection with the Catawba and then the land on the Catawba for several miles above and below the inter section of Linville. This territory also includes the lands lying on another stream, Paddys creek. Likewise on John’s river in another section of the county control has been secured and enormous prices have been paid for farms. Within the past ten days options and purchases amounting to oyer $500,000 have been made, the largest single deal being the option of the Perkins farm on John’s river at $85,000. Like all developments of this kind these companies have worked silently and swiftly, avoiding giv ing any information leading to publicity and in the meantime, dozens of men as civil engineers, record searchers, options and pur chasing agents have been working steadily. Farmers who optioned their places took it as a joke and none thought any more would be heard of it, but not one option has been allowed to expire and every man giving an option has had a check shoved under his nose. The ones who showed inclination to be slow are financially far better off, although all got a big price; but at places 200 and 300-acre farms sold for $8,000 to 12,000 while adjoin ing farms of equal value brought from $20,000 to $30,000, according to the inclination of the owner to sign an option. Every farm in the proposed ter ritory, with the sole exception of the Caleb Kincaid farm on Paddy’s creek and Linville, has been se cured. Kincaid refused to option A MARtON INTERVIEWS Mrs. Dale Tells Her Experience. The following brief account of an in terview with a Marion woman over four years ago, «nd its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. Mrs. C. A DtUe, Garden St., Marion, says: “My system was full of uric add and my feet and hands swelled to twice their normal size. The skin was drawn as tight as a drum and was purple. I was helpless for two months and tne pains in my back never let up. At timeB there was an almost complete retention of the kidney secr^ons. The doctor didn’t help me and I got Doan’s Kidney Pills at Streetman’s Drug Store. They cured me.” (Statement giyen in Feb ruary, 1911 ) Over Three Years Later Mrs. Dale said: “Except for a little soreness in my back occasionally, I have had no sign of kidney trouble in years, thanks to Doan’s Kidney Pills.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t edm- ply ask for a kidney remedy—^get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Dale has twice puldicly recommended. Fos- ter-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.
