Lime-Loss in Tuberculosis
In the Journal of the American
Medical Association (January 17,
1914) was the following:
'It has been many times stated
that in tuberculosis or in the pre
tuberculosis stage an increased
amount of calcium (lime) is lost,
both in the urine and feces. In fact,
a demineralization has been thought
to be a forerunner of the develop
ment of tuberculosis
-"Forced feeding of tuberculosis
liatient iind the enormous amount of
eggs and milk once given such pa-,
"tients are not now considered advis
able by a large number of physicians'
who are specializing in the treat
ment of pulmonary tuberculosis.'
If tuberculosis is due to a loss of
lime from the system, the success of
Eckman's Alterative in the treat
ment of this disease may be due, in
part, to the fact that it contains a
lime salt so combined with other
valuable ingredients as to be easily
assimilated.
Always we have urged users of
Eckman's Alterative to attend strict
ly to matters of food.
In addition to rest and proper diet,
some effective remedial agent seems
to be needed, and in numerous cases
of apparent recovery from tubercu
losis and kindred throat and bron
chial affections Eckman's Alterative
"has supplied this need. ,
It does not contain opiates, nar
cotics or habit-forming- drugs, so it
is safe to try. Your druggist has it
or will order it, or you can get it
from us direct.

AT a meeting of the Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade, held on the 11th inst.,
it was decided to open the OXFORD TOBACCO MARKET on Wednesday,
September 15th. This same date has been fixed for the opening of other to
bacco markets. In deciding on this date the Board of Trade felt that it would
give plenty of time for the farmers to get well along with their cutting and cur
ing and that, therefore, they would be better prepared to attend to the market
ing of the crop.
In an inrerview with Mr. J. M. Farish, who represents one of the leading
tobacco companies, and also acting secretary of the Oxford Tobacco Board of
Trade, he stated that both the Warehousemen, Buyers and Companies had
made every arrangement for handling the new crop and the facilities of the
.Oxford Tobacco Market is good, if not better, than those of any other market in
the State. The Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade can assure the farmers of
Granville and adjoining counties that the Oxford Market will in every way
maintain its prestage and repuration as thetest all-round tobacco market in
this section and they can always feel and know 'af they will , be well taken
care of and receive the very highest dollar possible by selling their tobacco on
the Oxford Market.
The Oxford Tobacco Board of Trade, the Oxford Merchants' Association,
and the Granville Commercial Club extend a cordial invitation to the farmers
of Granville and adjoining counties to make OxfordJ:heir market for every load
of tobacco and the best service is promised and guaranteed.

Tragedies Caused by
the Tongue
By ORISON SWETT MARDEN.
(Copyright, McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
They had "heard rumors and be
came frightened." This was the only
reason the panic-stricken depositors
would give for their mad rush on the
bank for savings in New York a few
days ago.
The silly gossip of a servant, it was
thought, started the rumor that the
bank was in difficulties. Although its
president stated that the deposits,
were ninety-seven million dollars,
nearly eleven millions of a surplus,
and that the largest banks in New
York had offered to come to the res
cue with fifty million dollars if neces
sary yet thousands of men and wom
en crowded one another in their fran
tic haste to get their money out of
one of the soundest institutions in the
country !
The" whole fabric of the business
world hangs upon confidence. Our
vast credit system depends absolute
ly upon it. Anything which throws
the slightest suspicion upon it causes
disaster. Nothing else is so sensi
tive as confidence. And there is noth
ing quite so malignant in its power to
destroy it, to blast everything it
touches, as rumor, the baseless gos
sip of idle or malicious people.
Sometimes the least breath of sus
picion will seriously injure a man's
credit which it has taken a lifetime
to build up. It has often made havoc
of a woman's reputation.
One of the cruelest things that a
human being can do is to peddle gos
sip, to pass along slander, or even a
true story which tends to injure an
other, or to put him in an unfavor
able light. It is fatally easy to say
things which will cause lifelong
wounds, and many people are so
careless with their tongues!
Only a short time ago a woman in
Brooklyn was driven to suicide by
the gossip of her neighbors. They
told her that her husband was , pay
ing attention to other women; and
although he assured her thatie was
doing nothing of the kind the gossips
succeeded in making her so jealous
that she poisoned herself.
I know people who would never
forgive themselves for striking an
other with their hands, but who do
not hesitate to stab an absent person
in the back with an unkind, unchar
itable, cruel remark, or to spread a
bit of slander which my have disas
trous effects on the victim.
Some years ago this headline ap
peared in a New York daily: "Geor
gia Cayvan Dies .on a Sanatorium
Cot! Falsehood Ended Her Career."
Miss Cayvan was an actress. She
began her career by reading selec
tions from Shakespeare to customers
in her mother's "candy store" in
Bath, Me. Later she graduated from
the School of Oratory in the Boston
university and attracted the atten
tionofDaniel Frohman whp brought
PAGE THREE
her to New York. In a short time she
became a star, and one of the most
popular actresses in New York city.
Her beauty, brilliancy, vivacity and
remarkable talent made her such a
favorite that those envious of her
began to reflect upon her character.
A scandal was started which so preyed
upon Miss Cayvan's sensitive mind
that she fell into melancholy and
never returned to the stage. Al
though it was proved that the actress
was in Europe at the time of the
scandal in this ' country with which .
her name was falsely connected, and
notwithstanding the fact that her char
acter received a sweeping vindication,
yet the wagging tongues continued
to peddle the scandalous gossip until
her melancholy developed into pare
sis, and finally put her beyond medi
cal aid.
There are thousands of people in
the great failure army today who
might have been a success but for the
gossips. The unkind criticisms of
companions or neighbors, the scan
dals calculated by the thoughtless or
evil-minded unnerved them. They
lost heart when even those they
thought were friends stabbed them
in the back and they gave up the
struggle.
We probably have all of us come
to points in our careers when it
would not have taken very much to
have discouraged us and turned us
the other way. Who can ever esti
mate the number of failures, the life
wrecks, that have been caused by gos-
sipers : iiow, many yeuyic uavo
been driven to suicide by cruel slan
der? How many people have become
disheartened and have laid down their
burdens and given up the struggle
because their sensitive natures could
not stand the strain of misrepresenta
tion? There is no meaner, more cowardly
or contemptible thing than to take ad
vantage of another's absence to dis
cifss his shortcomings, and to peddle
idle gossip and slander about him.
I believe the time will come when
the person who says unkind, cruel
things about another in his absence
will be ostracized as an enemy of
the race, will be despised as a traitor
to everything that constitutes real
friendship and true manliness or
womanliness. There is no more des
picable habit than the gossip habit.
The people who indulge in it little
realize that they are exhibiting their
own defects; that they are showing
themselves up in the most unfavor
able light possible. Everybody who
knows them knows that . he may be
the next victim.
The Obstacles to Evil.
In the constitution of our nature a
limit has been fixed to the triumph of
evil. Falsity in theory is everywhere
confronted by the facts which present
themselves to every man's observa
tion, A lie has not power to change
the ordinances of God. Every day dis
closes its utter worthlessness until it
fades away from our recollection and
is numbered among the things that
were. The indissoluble connection
which our Creator has established be
tween vice and misery tends also con
tinually to arrest the progress of evil,
and to render odious whatever would
render evil attractive. Francis Way
land. Mixing Feed for Calves.
When feeding the calf never mix
meal, shorts or bran with the milk.
Oil meal is not a good food to mix
with skim milk. Ground flaxseed
soaked in six times its bulk of cold
water will make a jelly that can be
used advantageously mixed with the
milk, a pint of jelly to four quarts of
milk. Cooking the flaxseed impairs
its value.
Obtain Richer Cream.
The separator can be made to skim
richer cream by turning the cream
screw towards the center of the bowl,
by increasing the speed, and by les
sening the inflow of milk to the bowl.
Theueverse will cause thinner cream.
The percentage of fat will vary some
from day to day, due to the variation
in one or more of these factors.

Try This on Your Cook.
A friend of mine who is a culinary
expert gave me the following recipe
for cup custards: One quart of milk,
seven duck eggs, five hens' eggs,
sweeten to the taste and cook in good
sized bowls. He said he ate two of
them for his dessert for a Sunday din
ner and was taken sick that evening.
I should have thought that he would;
have been.
One such cup custard was big
enough for any ordinary man, but to
crowd two such ones into the stom
ach was bound to wreck the best con
stitution And he wanted me to see
how it would affect me. I rather guess
