of . the mind becaus3 it seems to
exist without visible means of sup
pert. On its countenance can easily
be seen the reflection of a selfish
heart, &nd cruelty is written? in ev
ery line of its face. The mind and
heart of man has often been de
stroyed by this agency, and untold
suffering brought about, by this de
mon of ihe soul. If it could be clas
sified ampng the different things in
life, Its abiding place would be found
in the palaces of satan. Its com
panions are hale, vice and destruc

poisons. Its motive in life is de
struction. It has no ambition to be
other than a disturbing elem PTit in

or an oia woman say, upon the lust of afrerandizempnt
and drinks from the fountain of cor
ruption. Prejudice betrays the understand
ing, and any peace must be a day
dream in the imagination of men
who will not uproot the weeds from
their minds, before they set out to
prepare a garden of happiness for
others. There is no need to dream
of happiness and enjoyment for oth
ers, as long as this monster lives in
the heart of men. It is a useless
and futile undertaking. How can
there be happiness in the heart,
when the heart embraces prejudice?
To cure an evil one must remove the
cause. Ninety-nine and one hun
dredths of the human race have
their prejudices. They nurture and
feed it upon avarice greed, envy and
jealousy. They always use the

Mrs. Burns Says Af
Tanlac Gains Nine
Pounds.
"I had to go sixteen miles to gel
my first bottle of Tanlac, but after
the way it helped me I would gladly
go a hundred miles rather than be
without it," said Mrs. George M.
Burns, of 1900 Spruce avenue, Kan
sas City, Mo.
"For six months I had stomach
trouble and indigestion so bad that
what I ate gave me no strength at
all," continued Mrs. Burns. -"I had
no appetite whatever and was so ner

completely upset me. My kidneys
gave me a lot of trouble arid-1 suffer

Shocking.
An elderly lady of very prim and
severe aspect was seated next a
young couple who were discussing
the merits of their motor cars.
"What coloT is your body?" asked
the young man of the girl at his side,
meaning of course, the body of her
motor.
"Oh, mine is pink. What is yours?"
"Mine is brown with wide yellow
stripes.'-
This was too much for the old lady.
Rising from the table, she exclaimed:
"When young people come to ask
ing each other the color of their bo
dies at a dinner party it is time 1
left the room."
A cyclone in Union county Sun
day afternoon demolished eight
dwelling houses and six barns, be

Howie gold mine, and the old

old and was used in the civil war' by
the. Confederate army, were totally
destroyed.

George W. Perkins, Nev York
financier, died Friday morning in a
sanatorium at Sanford. Conn., ' fol
lowing an attack of acute inflamma
tion of the brain, which was the re
sult of comnlete nervous exhaustion.
It was not known that his condition
was serious, and a short time ago
when he was taken to Sanford his
pon announced that he was taken
thfre in order to be secluded from his
friends, who sought his advice dur
ing the campaign preceding the Chi
cago convention.
mg tor the good in their fellowman,
and frequently have an attack of
nearsightedness, or sore eyes when
looking for the good in another. The
truth of the matter is they just don't
want, to gee, or recognize these vir
tues in another. Their dwarfed
minds and hearts, fed bv the poi
sonous weeds of prejudice have such
a hold on their weak natures, it is
just impossible tor a healthy thought
to find companionship in their un
healthy minds.
Examine yourself and see how sel
fish and prejudiced you are. You
would be surprised to find how wick
ed you are. Readjustment of your
whole nature will have to be made
before you can safely say that you
are capable of passing muster be
fore your own eyes. If you are not
prejudiced, why have you given so
little to charity. Why have you been
so uncharitable to others, even your
own neighbors? Why do you say
so many unkind words about your
neighbor, and speak in a sneering
way, when he does a good deed or
act? We need not dream of beauti
ful palaces for ourselves, and log
cabins for others, if we confine our
selves to the rule of prejudice. Not
until we have built ourselves a foun
dation below the mudsills, can we
hope to attain that contentment
which is called kindness and hap
piness. )
Eleven persons of the Sandy
Hook section of Lenoir county are
recoveriner from ptomaine poisoning
as a result of eating cake, one of the
ingredients of which was "tinned"
cocoanut. The 11 who are sick and
12 of 15 others attended a quilting
party, where cocoanut cake was ser
ved." Several of those affected would
have died, it is believed, if they had
not received prompt medical attention.

Passenger (after first night on
board ship) "I say, where have all
my clothes vanished to?"
Steward: "Where did you put
them last night?"
"I folded them up carefully and
put them in that cupboard over
there."
"I see no cupboard, sir."
"Are you blind, man? I mean
that one with the round glass door to
it."
"Lor' bless me, sir, that ain't no
cupboard. That's the porthole."

J. N.. PITMAN. -
H When you pay your gas bill you not only pay for the fuel you have used but also for the labor
(j and investment required to convert that fuel into a convenient form and deliver it underthe
burner of your range.
When you burn gas you are really burning oil and coal. A part of the cost of that gas is for
l fuel and the balance is for the service the gas company renders in transforming the 100 per
1 cent fuel you get, delivering it to your home, and saving you the drudgery attendant upon
the handling of coal and wood, ashes and cinders.
I Analyze the service you receive. Take the labor necessary to supply your city with gas. The
1 scarcity of labor has affected the gas industry just as it has every other. The work in the
1 plant is liitrd, grinding and uncomfortable. It has to be paid accordingly. Bookkeepers,
meter readers and service men must be paid a living wage.
Consider the investment. It has cost millions of dollars to install the gas producing
plants and the miles and miles of feeders an d service line in the cities of th State. If the
plants were wiped out suddenly and had to be replaced at present costs gas could not be
manufactured and distributed for less than twice the present rates. The customer re
ceives here a distinct and tremendous advantage.
1 After all it is SERVICE that sells gas. You prefer gas to wood or coal, not only because of
1 the discomfort and heat attendant upon the use of a wood or coal range, but because it is al
1 ways ready, 24 hours in the day. It requires no handling, no hauling. There is no dirt, no
ashes and cinders to remove and incidentally to fly all over the kitchen in the process. '
1 There is no delay while the fire is "catching up". Through the use of an expensive plant and
1 at a considerable cost in labor and fuel, an inconvenient form of fuel has been converted in-
to a 100 per cent convenient and a 100 per cent efficient form. And being a fair-minded man -
or woman, you are glad to pay for this SERVICE as well as for the f ueLSERVICE as well as
I materials is costing more than it ever has. Your gas company is not expecting or seeking
1 an unfair return on its investment, but unless gas consumers reimburse the producers for
I the actual cost of service, including interest to security holders, they cannot continue long
to perform the useful and necessary service whicli it has been their pleasure' and and re-
H sponsibility to render. v'y--r'
