The last session,.of the North Caro- ’ lina general assembly passed a hill re quiring every person driving any motor vehicle on n. public highway on approach ing grade crossings to stop, look and listen, before passing over the rails. For violations of this law a fine of $lO. or imprisonment not more than 10 days, or both, is provided. At the time of its passage the measure met with some opposition by those who claim it is designed to protect the rail roads against damage suits arising from g;*ade crossing accidents. It is elaiiped to be a debatable point as to whether the railroads will he liable for damage in instances where persons who do not stop, look and listen, drive upon grade crossings and sustain injuries. By others the new law is hailed as providing a splendid safeguard to lives and prop erty. A similar law i* now effective in Virginia and in other states.

If Back Hurts , Begin on Salts Flush Your Kidneys Occasionally by Drinking Quarts of Good i^ater j No man or woman can make a mis i take by flushing the kidneys occasion -1 ally, says a well-known authority. Too j» much rich food creates acids which clog 1 the kidney pores so that they sluggishly filter or strain only part of the waste jt and poisons from the blood. Then you t get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver i trouble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi [ ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders k often come from sluggish kidneys. The moment you feel a dull ache in [ the. kidneys or your back hurts, or if i the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of i sediment, irregular of passage, or at | tended by a sensation of scalding, begin i to drink soft water in quantities; also > get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any reliable pharmacy and take a table spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kid ■ ncys may then act fine, k This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juici, com bined with lithia, and has been used for years to help flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity, also to ' help neutralize the acids in > the system so they no longer cause irritation, thus ' ! often relieving bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not | injure; makes a delightful effervescent i liwia-water drink, which everyone can i take now and then to help keep the J kidneys clean and the blood pure; thereby } often preventing serious kidney compli cations.

The 'blaze was discovered by one off Mr. Johnson's sons, who'had been to Poplar ( Tent for a ride. Coming home the soon ( entered the house and soon heard a roar- ( ing sound above the stairway leading to the second story of the house. Soon , the roaring noise became louder and the , young man went to a window to see : what was causing the noise. It was then that he saw the flanm aud smoke gush ing from a window on the second Hqpr of the house. • , Practically the entire upper story of tin’ house was burning by this time, and ' the son only had Jinn- to get the mem- j hers of the family out of the house be fore thV.v \yere all driven back by the heat.

There are several good baits to use for the takitjg of the old carp, but the last ones that I have ever tried, are the following, in season: Dough-balls in the early part of the summer from May on up until the month of > August, these are made by mixing a stiff batch of dough, (flour and water with some rot ten batten mixed through the batter and a few drops of sugar added) then boil the whole mess until it is of a stiff con sistency and spread out. to cool in a fiat pan. cut into squares gome two inches square and l-00l into balls for the hook. Then around August, sweet-corn times comes in and that is one of the best baits that a man ever placed on a hook —green sweet corn. Procure some two or#three fine, mature ears of the corn and shave it from the cob with a sharp knife, deep dovyn.sPUK'e some three or four large graiifs nu Ahe honk and cast into a carp pool with heavy sinker. Kish all carp baits on the bottom, as they are bottom feeders. Another good bait for carp is.the cryfish and the fresh water mnssel. The cryfish is tine, fish ed on bottom, with -pincers off. Fish the bait on mud bottom for carp. Break the fresh water mussel open and use tile meat (-tit into small squares, the red mussels are best I think.

Jane . 15.—“ Lots of zym- . pathy is wasted in cases of this kind.’’ Judge W. M. Bond, presiding over the June criminal term of superior court, told u crowded court room audience this morning when he sentenced Thomas B. Pierce, of Warsaw, former cashier of the Home Saving Bank in this city, to serve five yenrs ia the State prised. The sentence" covered Pierce's conviction in three of the five counts, in which he was charged with embezzling funds be longing to the bunk and its customers. The sura alleged to have been embezzled by the convicted cashier ranges between Upon withdrawal of the appeal this afterpoon by the nttofney for ■4’ieroe, Judge Bond reduced the sentence to four years in the State penitentiary. Pierce was taken to Raleigh tonight and is- now in the penitentiary. Although emphatic is his declara tion that it is not his desire to be harsh. Judge Bond made it plain that the "courts should be j<tern in thp handling of hank embezzlement cases. "In this ease," he said, "the bank, or at least Mr. Hill, its president, has lost $30,000.

This is true whether the art’s principles are applied by professional or by in formed amateur decorators. It is not difficult to believe that the boy or girl whose family life centers about a living room furnished according to informal - „ . Colonial standards will have his taste and his feeling of American life affected. The subtle language of color and form will whisper to him. The echo of an earlier, stricter civilization will penetrate his feeling of home. The elements that enter into furnishing such a room are easy to grasp. The floors may be of fairly broad boards covered with braided rugs placed with reference to the shape of the room. The ■walls may be of rough plaster, natural or in quiet tints, with a low wain scot ting; or they may be -panelled. There will be no pro - -> une 18 ' 1023 - " " " " ’ "** ' ""T"- a lost of more than $100,006. 'This man had no right, to use. the. public's money for private gain and private specula tions.

Tlie bankers who resort to this practice do so deliberately, wil fully and wrongfully. Maybe this young man intended paying the money back had lie This, however, doesn't alter* the case? He 6kd no right to the money,” Judge Bond, continued. The judge concluded his refnarks by declaring that if the tihie hds comt when men Tan misappropriate thous ands of dollars at a time without pay ing the penalty, it is time to be more lenient with men who steal a ham or a bushel of wheat.” These petty thieves.” he said, “are at present always headed for the roads.” Armenia has 'ben conquered succes sively by 42 different nations. fusion of pictures, and silhouettes will be most fitting.

They will permit Bunlight to enter without obstruction, except such as will diffuse the radiance and eliminate glare.
