According to the "Press" it is not necessary to place the lips near the transmitter of a telephone to be heard at the other e-.d. provided he transmitter !e nln firm atnof t-u. j . itjmuij wic silent aim uill sp?akd in a natural tone.

We do not rave to go to this report to realize the een located in many places in North Carolina for the past year, and tht government has held out bright possibilities for recruits. One of the strict st principles of our government has standing armies in times of peace; nor before our government assumed its soldiers, not for home troops, but to defend our island possessions, espeei i!ly the Philippines. The Democratic party and the South generally oppos ed the acquisition of these islands, as a departure from fundamental prin ciples, and their views are being forcibly justified by this suggestion of the Vdjutant-General. Of course we can never have conscription in America, except for the defence of our native shores. It would be absurd to think f such a thing in "this land of the free." So, we must eventually relin juiish those troublesome islands, hire troops, or leave them defenseless.

If a weight is placed on one side, instead of leaning that way, the car rises higher. If pushed on one side j the resistance of the car can be actually felt. The car follows curves i even short ones with ease and swiftness. Mr. Brennan, the inventor, ' is an Irishman by birth. A3 a youth he is said to have been a dreamer, ; and his fif ty-five years have been largely spent in trying to materialize j t ils idea of a cne-rail train. Now it seems that his dream has been real ! iied. If this proves true, in a few more years, our entire system of trans- pass &V-. that the world has known; for with friction reduced to a minimum tnd side-thrusts practically eliminated, there i3 no reason why our mono iil trains should not make one hundred and twenty, one hundred and "ifrv or evren two hundred miles an hour with absolute steadiness and, far nore safety than is possible on existing trains. I may add that ideal , nooth running will be secured by having a continuous line of wheels un- !er each car, a single line, of course, so that the whole train will rest on ,1 d : -iin of wheels."

Hoi- lister's Rocky Mountain Tea relieves 'Excelsior' is Our Motto. NECK, N. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1907. Jensy's Lesson. (Bxchnnse.) "Jenny," said a very tired mother to her daughter one afternoon, "will you help me sew this braid on your sister's dress?" "Oh, mother how can you ask me to help you when you know that it takes all my time to make those pic ture?" "What pictures?" inquired her mother. "Why, a lot of us girls met yester day at Kate Eaton's house, and formed a club we call it the Busy Worker's because we are making pictures for the poor sick children in the New York Hospital. Do you not think it a good plan?" - "Perhaps it is," said her mother absently. So Jenny, leaving her mother to saw on the braid, started upstairs to make pictures. She had not been up there very long when Katie Eaton came in. Hrlt T.r4- tt 1 T T thought 3rou were never coming." "I would have been here sooner, but we had company for dinner, and Chloe had so many dishes to wash that I stayed to help her." "Well, Kate Eaton, you shock me! The very idea of your helping your servant," said Jenny, very much sur prised. "Now, look here, Jenny, didn't we girls form a club, and each promise that we would do all we could to help others. Well, that hasn't anything to do with helping servants wash dishes," said Jenny. Yes it has, too. I couldn't go out trying to help other people, all the time knowing that mother or some of the servants would be glad for my help. Do you think you could?" After a pleasant afternoon, at tea time Kate went home. As soon as she wa3 gone, Jenny carne down stairs, and went to find her mother. "Mother," sho said, "have you the braid served on Nettie's dress yet?" "No," replied her mother, "1 have not been able to get it done." "Then I will help you, mother, and then work for any ethers I can help." And after that Jenny always help ed outsiders all she could. Eat More Candy. "Give children plenty of pure su gar, tany ana butterscotch and they'll have little need of cod-liver oil," says Dr. Woods Hutchinson in he Christmas Woman's Home Com panion. "In short, sugar is, after meat, bread and butter, easily our next most important and necessary food. You can put the matter to a test very easily. Just leave off the pie, pudding or other desserts at . your lunch or mid-day dinner. You'll be astonished to find how quickly you'll feel 'empty' again, and how 'unfinished' the meal will seem. You can't get any working man to accept a dinner pail without pie in it. And The thing that can take the place of su- j gar here is beer or wine. It is a ! significant fact that the free-lunch counters run in connection with bars furnish eyery imaginable thing ex cept sweets. Even the restuarants and lunch grills attached to saloons or bars often refuse to serve des serts of any sort. They know their business! The more sugar and sweets a man takes at a meal, the less alcohol he wants. Conversely, nearly every drinking man will tell you that he has lost his taste for sweets. The more candy a nation consumes, the less alcohol. "The United States government buys pure- candy by the ton and ships it to the Philippines to be sold at cost to the soldiers in the canteens. All men crave it in the tropics, and the more they get of it, the less 'vino' and whiskey they want. "In fine, the prejudice against sugar is born of puritanism and stinginess, equal parts. Whatever children cry for must be bad fori them, according to the pure doc trine of original sin; besides, it costs money. I know families in the rural districts yet where the head of the family groans over every dollar's worth of sugar that comes into the house as a sinful and 'unwholesome' luxury."

Nothing could seem more definite than the connection between cancer and the practice of eating inferior meat traced by Dr. G. Cooke Adams in a series of statistical studies given out last month by the Chicago board of health. "There cannot be the slightest doubt," to employ the posi tive language of this expert British investigator, "that the great increase in cancer among the foreign-born in Chicago over the prevalence of that disease in their native country is due to the increased consumption of ani mal foods, particularly those derived from diseased animals." This conclu sion substantiates the original dedu tions made by Dr. Adams from in vestigations conducted in Australia and London, and extended over a number of years. The foreign-born in Chicago are enabled through high er rates of wages to indulge in a meat diet denied them in Europe. They make use of the supplies derived from condemned animals and from the canned products or establish ments handling tuberculosta and dis eased cattle. This increase in can cer is accelerated by the influx of foreigners willing to eat even in ferior grades of meat. So much may by demonstrated, insisted Dr. Adams, by a study of the vital sta tistics of any American city. The tables for Chicago give stricking re sults. In that city, according to official figures, between 1856 and 1866 there was an increase in the death rate from cancer of 680 per cent., while from 1866 to 1905 the increase was 232 per cent. The mere percentages would be misleading did we not know that in 1856 but one in each 1,000 deaths was from cancer, ! whereas, in 1866 this had increased to one in each 164. In 1905 it was one in twenty-three deaths, while m 1906 one death in every 21.0 was due! to this disease. Hcc. Claude Kltchla's Seat 1b tbe Ecuse. A Washington reporter to the News and Obserber has the f ollow ing to say of Claude Kitchin's seat in the House of Representatives: When the perfunctory organiza tion of the House was over, the al lotment of seats to members began. The drawing for seats, which was a game of chance, was followed with much interest. Representatives Claude Kitchin and Webb were the luckiest members of the delegation. Mr. Kitchin's name was called soon after the drawing began and he had the choice of nearly all the desirable seats in the House. The represen tative from the Second selected an end seat in the middle aisle facing the s ker; He is immediately b. hind Minority John Sharp Williams and directly across the aisle from Representative Burton, of Ohio. No North Carolinian has had such a well located seat in years. Repre sentative Webb has an aisle seat ex- On tne Way. On the way to meetin,' Blossoms rainin' down.
