New Tuberculosis Remedy Based on Medicine To say that a specific exists for the core of Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Eckman's Alterative we have a medicine that has been the means of saving many a life to years of usefulness, and in permanently curing a large number of Consumptives. Certainly a person afflicted with a wast ing disease should be well fed with wholesome, nourishing food, but fre quently raw eggs in quantities cause a digestive breakdown, and then no food nourishes. As for milk, a very good food for many, but a producer of biliousness for some. Any diet that keeps a Consumptive well nourished is the right one, but what is going to cure the patient? Eckman's Al terative has cured and is curing many a case of Consumption. Let those speak who know. Here is a specimen: 90 Savannah St., Rochester, N. Y. "Gentlemen: On June 3, 1907, I was operated upon for Tubercular peritoni tis, at St. Mary's Hospital. Rochester, N. Y. After the operation my physician gave me up as hopeless. I was then urged by a priest to take Eckman's Al terative, which I did. My weight at the time was 72 lbs. I began to improve and steadily gained in health and strength. I now weigh 125 lbs., and am absolutely cured. Believing I owe it to myself and others I make- this statement." (Signed Affidavit) EDNA FINZER. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bron chitis, Asthma, Hay Fever; Throat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the system. Does not contain poisons, opiates or habit-forming drugs.

Many Materials and Products Which Require Moist Air. There are many materials, operations and products which require special atmospheric conditions for advanta geous or profitable maintenance. Prin cipal among snch operations Is the manufacture of textiles, perhaps the largest single industry carried on in factories. In the favored climate of the Lancashire district of England the natural climate afford working con ditions equaled in America only on oc casional days in certain localities. Even in England, however, there are many days in which the atmosphere is too dry for the best work. Since textile fibers are Increased in strength and elasticity by high humid ity an!r moderately high temperature, breakages are less frequent under proper conditions, and the output is in creased. But even before the fiber reaches the manufacturing plant at mospheric humidity plays au important part. Cotton loses weight as it dries out. but, more than that, the fibers ttrtstle and appear shorter and of lower prrade than when slightly moistened. Leather, feathers and many other por uq substances lose a considerable per centage of weight In drying out. so that the maintenance of average and uni form humidity in the storage rooms has a direct advantage to the owner in maintaining the value of his goods as they lie in the warehouse. Cigars and tobacco lose flavor in dry air and regain it to some extent, after loss, by storage in proper humidified rooms. Wooden furniture and musical instru ments are sometimes cracked or the finish injured by the dry air of steam heated rooms. All these and other similar goods are advantageously worked or stored in rooms in which the atmospheric humidity is artificially controlled and kept at the most desira ble point. Engineering. A PIG'S SQUEAL It Played a Momentous Part In Ameri- can History. The war between this country and England in 1S12 was caused by one vote, and, stranger still, the small mar gin came from a pig getting its head stuck, in a rail fence. It was a Rhode Island fence at that, but built much like a Virginia worm fence. They were having an election of members of, the legislature in Rhode island. One Federalist put off going to the election and left himself just time enough to get there before the polls closed. Just as be got on his horse and started for town he heard a pig squeal. He looked around and saw that the pig had its head jammed into that old rail fence, and anybody who knows anything about bogs knows that the hogs would have eaten that pig up if it hadn't been rescued. The farmer stopped long enough to liberate the pig, and when he got to the polls they were closed. He was too late. The result was that a Democratic member of the legislature was elected from that district by one vote, and he would not have been elected if that Federal had got there on time. In the legislature a Democratic United States senator was elected by one vote, and that Democratic legislator who bad been elected by one vote voted for him. In the United States senate they voted for the war of 1812 by one vote, and that Rhode - Island Democratic sene tor who had been elected .because that pig was caught in the fence voted for the war of 1812. Popular Maga zine. Not a Waxwork. The opening of the courts In an as size town in England is always a great day for the residents. The procession to the church, where the judge says bis prayers and listens to a homily, the march to the court, V with the at tendant javelin men and the braying of trumpets the men In wigs and gowns till the rustic mind with the sense of awe and the majesty of jus tice. It is related in Mr. Thomas Ed ward Crispe's book. "Reminiscences of a K. C" that a farmer once took bis son into the crown court. On the -bene l.i was the- Baron Cleasby, jrorpreous in scarlet and ermine, statu esque and motionless. The yokel gazed with open mouth at the resplendent figure on the raised dais. Suddenly the baron moved his hand from right to left and left to right. "Why. teyjther," said the boy, "It's aioive:" A Bird's Barbed Wire Fences. There may be seen along the road sides in Central America a brown wren about the size of a canary which builds a nest out of all proportion to Its ap parent needs. It selects a small tree with horizontal branches growing close together. Across two of the branches it lays -sticks fastened together with tough fiber Until a platform about six feet long by two feet wide has been constructed- On the end of this plat form nearest the tree trunk It then builds a huge, dome shaped nest a foot or so high with thick sides of inter woven thorns. A covered passageway is then made' from the rest to the end of the platform in as crooked a man ner as possible. Across the outer end as well as at short intervals along the Inside of this tunnel are placed cun ning little fences of thorns with just space enough" for the owners to pass through. On going out this opening is closed by the owner by placing thorns across the gateway, and thus the safe ty of the eggs or young is assured. Harper's Weekly. Finding Mark Twain by Faith. One evening a few years ago Brander Matthews and Francis Wilson were dining together at the Players club of New York, when the former made the suggestion that they write a letter to Mark Twain. "But." objected Mr. Wil son., "we don't know where he is." for It was at a time when Mr. Clemens was away traveling somewhere. "Oh," said Professor Matthews, "that does not make any difference. It is sure to find him. I think he is some place in Europe, so we had better put on a five cent stamp." So the two sat down and composed a letter, which they ad dressed to "Mark Twain, God Knows Where." Within three weeks they received a reply from Mr. Clemens which said briefly. "He did." The letter had been sent by the New York postoffice to Harper & Bros., thence to Chatto & Windus of London, thence to a bank in Vienna and from the bank to the small town in Austria in which Mark Twain happened to be staying. Book man. He Got Badly Left. Experiences of a correspondent Of a Nuremberg paper go to show that the German adulteration laws are drastic He says: "A French friend sent me four bottles of burgundy. After pay ing" the duty I was informed that air wine coming from abroad has to .he analyzed. As my consignment Includ ed two kinds of wine a double analysis was necessary, and for this I paid a fee of .$9.24. As the end of a week I received first a certificate attesting that my wine wes pure and. second, the case in which the bottles were sent. I was also Informed that two bottles had been required to form the basis of each -analysis and that consequently there was no wine left. I am natural ly grateful to the state for the precau tions taken to guard my health, but I cannot help thinking I am entitled to the empty bottles. Surely these were not also analyzed." Got His Receipt. He had run up a small bill at the village store and went to pay it. first asking for a receipt. The proprietor grumbled and complained it was too small to give a receipt for. It would do just as well, he said, to cross the account off and so drew a diagonal pencil line across the book. "Does that settle it?" asked the cus tomer. "Sure." "An ye'll niver . be askin for it ag'in?" "Certainly not." "Faith, thin," said the other coolie, an I'll kape me money in me pocket." "But I can rub that out." said the storekeeper. "I thought so." said the customer dryly. "Maybe ye'll be givin' me a re ceipt now. Here's yer money." Say The Good Word. Waxhaw Enterprise. This thing of saying a good word about your town is a habit which the people of this community need to cultivate, and they need it badly. You just start out here some bright morning yes, even on a bright morning when everyone ought to feel good and mention something about every citizen, we don't care who he is, or how. pure he is, and you will be surprised to know how many people . have out their little hammers and how with their might they will be trying to use them. J Now, how much better it would be if we all had a good word to say of our neighbors. What makes your town hut the people who lives in it? When you hit them, dont you know you are striking your cowni, and when you strike your town don't you know that you are driving blows on your own little head? Say somethng good or keep your tongue irn your mouth. You will feel better yourself, and you will be better too. EAST CAROLINA TEACHERS TRAINING SCHOOL.
