During the War.
New York, Feb. 18. Herbert Hoov
er, hailed as "financier," d.plomat and
statesman," by Charles Evans Hughes
at a testimonial meeting given in his
honor here tonight by the Civic
Forum, declared that the "nation's

"selfishness and partianship." In rec
ognition of his "distinguished public
service," Mr. Hoover was presented
with the Civic For,um medal of honor,
with which only three other American
, citizens have been honored Alexan
der Graham Bell, Thomas Alva Edi
son and George Washington Goethals.
j In accepting the medal. Mr. Hoov
er said that he only did so on the con
dition that the recognition include his
"colleagues and the thousands of men
and women of America who gave me
their support in my undertakings.".
It was only the "common sense" and
"wholehearted co-operation" of the
Ameiican people that had made his
relief work in Europe a success, Mr.
Hoover deciared. "I believe this qual
ity of co-operation will continue," he
added, "although we are faced by
another complex problem.
"We are in some danger that selfish
ness and partisanship will overwheim
our sense of duty to the greatest
number." News and Observer.
LIFE
Life is a grift to be used every day.
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
It isn't a thing to" be stored in the
I chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and
treasure your best;
It isn't a joy to be shipped now and
then
And promptly put back in a dark place
again,
Life .is a g.ft that the humblest may
boast of
And one that the humblest may we'l
make most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the
day;
Wear it and use as much as you may;
Don't keep it in niches and corners
and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty
improves.

formation in hand of this organized
public sentiment, body given H. M.
Lewis, J. A. Hudgins and J. M. Long,
Federal Revenue Officers, who arrived
in town Wednesday, a successful il
licit still raid was made Thursday in
the Odell neighborhood.
The officers came to town yesterday
after destroying two outfits and is-
; suing warrants for John Vinson, Fred
Vinson, W. W. Warren ' and Jim
Shearin. Shearin, a young white man,
unable to give a thousand dollar bond,
was lodged in jail here. The warrant
for Warren was not served on account
of his illness with flu.
The officers had the mule and bugg;
property, captured by Green, Elling
ton and Fagg in a former raid in the
Odell section, appraised. A value oi
$240 was placed on the confiscated
goods by Herbert Tucker, J: W. Bur
roughs and Jeff Palmer as a board oi
appraisers.
From best information it appear,
that the stills were not actually ii
operation but that the cases wer-
worked up by evidence furnished the

TO AVOID THE FLU
John T. Warring tells how to stee
lear of this disease:
If in office, go home.
If home, get to the office.
Avoid starchy food such as stil
collars, hard-boiled shirts, etc.
If you think you have the "flu

Coughing or sneezing is a sign o

A thirty-two percent return on an
investment of 5ti3.b2 is how a ra.rn
water system will pay, figures Mr. C.
R. Hudson, Chief 01 the North Caro
lina farm demonstration work. Mr.
Hudsons gets his figures from the ex
perience of a Gaston County farmer
who-recently installed a ram to sup
ply his home water supply. Lntu le-centiy,-this
man was a mnl operative,
but lately deeded to larm and bougnt
a small place on which he set abwut
immediately to makmg a xea. hom.
His water supply was a spr.ng .oj
feet away from' the house, ana dvwn
an incline of 120 feet.
This meant that for the home, which
absolutely needs eight buckets tua 01
water each day, the housewife wvuid
have to make at least four trips wuh
two buckets. This meant that she hud
to walk 5,600 feet, something over a
mile per day, or 365 miles each year.
As she could hardly hope to make oer
three miles per hour, including tme
taken to dip the water at the spring,
she used at least 180 hours each yeax.
Considering her time worth at least
25 cents per hour, this means that the
installation of the ram will save her
$45 worth of time and countless dol
lars worth of freedom from backachus
and weariness.
No farmer, says Mr. Hudson, wants
to carry water after his days work is
done. He figures this is the jiuty pf .
iifs.vlfe. TlTis man, however, has
caught the mental impression of mak
ing a home worth while. Soon, he
intends to extend his pipe line to his
barn to water the stock. Buying an
electric plant for better lights will
next follow more easily and naturally.
In other words, the work of the Farm
Demonstration Agent, Mr. C. Lee
Gowan, in aiding this man by this
demonstration, will make him a more
progressive citizen, and one that his
neighbors will soon begin to follow.
Such an example will probably revo
lutionize home making in that partic
ular vicinity.

In view of the fact that there av?
a number and increasing case of in

ative of John T. Waring, a prominent
jhysician of John Hopkin's Hospital,
Baltimore, Md., writes him the fol
4t ing precautions and preventive
means:
1st. Carefully regulate your diet,
eat plenty of well cooked food but nov
trash, and do not overload tne
stomach.
2nd. Keep the eliminative organs
bowels, liver, kidneys and skin open.
3rd. Regulate your clothing ac
cording to the weather, keeping the
feet warm and dry.
4th. Avoid crowds and especially in
poorly ventilated and oveiheate.
buildings.
5th. Avoid coughing. If you must
cough or sneeze, place a handerch ei
over your mouth.
6th. Promiscuous kissing should be
avoided. .
7th. Don't use public drinking
cupa that have not been properly
sterilized.
8th. Every school girl should cany
an individual drinking cup, and use
no other while at school.
9th. If you go into any room where
a patient is confined, grip or colds
use a mask or handkerchief, over your
mouth and nose and wash your hand3
if you have touched the patient, bed
ling or other furniture of the room.
10. If you have Influenza in your
home don't mingle with other people.
. .Keep out of crowds.
Mr. Warring thinks these sugges
