CAR. i i ANNUAL DELIVERY BILL It Costs a Million Dollars Annually In North Carolina. The annual expense of delivering groceries and other merchandise in the cities and towns of North Caro lina is well over a million dollars according to officials of the Food Ad ministration, who have been investi gating the problem and who declare that more than half of this expense is unnecessary. Scores of stores ope rating two and three and four deliv ery wagons or trucks could dispose of all except one, fixing absolutely rigid routes and hours of delivery for their territory. The Food Administration from the very first has encouraged the "Cash and Carry" method of doing business and with the labor short age becoming more and more acute all the time it is promoting in every was possible the elimination of all the man power, horse power, gasoline and other expenses of de livery. State Food Administrator Henry A. Page's attitude with regard to the conservation of labor is well known. No able bodied man in Mr. Page's opinion, has any business working at a job which could be fill ed, and would be gladly filled, by pa triotic women and girls. The elimi nation of one-half the delivery ser vice in North Carolina could be eas ily accomplished in the opinion of Mr. Page and this would add several hundred ablebodied men and boys to the available ripply of labor which is needed in essential indus tries. This has already been accom plished in a large measure by the hotels and restaurants through the substitution of girls and women for men waiters and by a similar process in either industries. There is a very noticeable trend in this direction. SOME HINTS ON KEEPING COOL Most of the Heat Prostrations Re ported are Due to Some Other Cause Entirely. (State Board of Health.) In this part of the United States there is no possible degree of heat or humidity that should worry a thoroughly healthy individual who avoids over-exposure to the direct rays of the sun and who is temper ate and reasonable in his manner of living. The heat prostration reported so often in the papers during every spurt of the thermometer are seldom heat prostrations, strictly speaking. The heat merely gives a finishing touch to a body already weakened. Here are some ways to beat the heat. Get the surplus fat off the body. Keep cool mentally, as well as physically. Keep the head protected from the sun. Take little meat, and take no alcohol. Do not overload and distend the stomach with sweet, "fizzy" drinks: that only increase thirst. Slightly acid drinxs, such as un sweetened orangeade, lemon juice' and water, are more thirst quench-1 'SAMMIES SHOWN IN AC TION IN 'THE MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY' mg.

Get enough sleep. Don't talk about the heat. Don't read about the heat. Ask your newspaper not to publish Ask your newspaper not to publish "heat horrors." Don't look at the thermometer. Try to keep the air moving a round your body. Get all the fun out of the hot weather that you can, without over doin'g, and remember that millions of busy people are not letting the ther mometer worry them.

Try them today. 50 cents a bos, Including war tax For eale by aU IraIt9 ckm Laboratory, Philadelphia When the elaborate production of "The Man Without a Country" was being filmed it was necessary to se cure some realistic battle scenes to show the spirt of the modern "Sam niie." Lieutenant Colon Maulden, com mandant at Fort Slocum, became so interested in. the filming of the fea ture that he extended every military facility of the post to aid in making it a remarkable production. Many of the scenes were taken at Fort Slocum and are true to life. In one incident 2,000 soldiers who were being transferred to another post were appropriated to action in the construction pf the vivid scenes shown in"The Man Without a Coun try.'' The "Sammies" are shown at their quarters, lined up for roll call, and marching to the steamer. It is a real picture of army life and shows just how our sons and broth ers look when they leave their home to "do their bit." While at Fort Slocum, Director Warde, thanked Lieutenant Colonel Maulden for the effective co-operation he had given him and also the men. One of them replied: "We were glad to help in a picture like this one you are putting on. It will do more good than a thousand pa triotic speeches." The photoplay version of the fa mous masterpiece is the first presen tation of a series of efforts on the part of the American Defense So ciety to "Wake Up America" to the necessity of each and every person "doing their bit." There is work to be done in assisting their govern ment to a successful conclusion of this world's war. The society's activities have ex tended to every state in the Union in the suppression of treason and disloyalty, as well as such influences which have deterred the progress of the administration. Pro-German pub lications and newspapers have been put out of business. German insur ance companies, who knew of the sailings of our merchantmen, have been curtailed in their activities. While seditions and disloyal street corner speaking has been stamped out in various cities through the co operation of the loal police depart ments, further work is to be done by the Vigilance corps, which is en rolling members throughout the land, who are following the society's motto of "Serve at the front or serve at home." At the Orpheum Theatre August 5 th and 6th, matinee and night. Capt. Donald F. Ray of the 156th field artillery, whose home was at Fayetteville, died Saturday in an army hospital at Fort Sill, Okla., where he had recently been sent for a ten weeks' course in aerial observation. He had been attach ed to the brigade staff at Camp Jackson. The fourth shot from a gun manned by a Navy armed guard on an American merchant ship struck the conning tower of a German sub marine, which attacked the ship May 12 last at 1,000 yards distance. The submarine was compelled to sub merge after having launched four torpedoes, two of which missed the steamer's bow by about 12 feet. Chief Gunner's Mate Harry It. Cham bers, commanding the armed guard, was commended by Secretary Dan iels for efficient conduct. - L: If Your Own Home 3 THERE IS ONLY ONE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN REALLY FEEL AT HOME; THAT IS IN A HOME OF YOUR OWN.
