Jet us hpe that such may obtain amongst us all through the year that lies ahead of us. During th past three month?, one fourth of the year just closed, the people of this country have talked hard times more than anything else. Hisifig Cshind "Rzri Times many think, has caused many people to become financially depressed and embarrassed; but many a man has chimed in with the talk of hard times who really did not know what it meant. It 13 easy to fall into the habit of thinking as others think and talking as others talk. Talk has always been cheap and still is cheap. And while many people have really suffer e.l in the press of sure enough hard times, it may be that many others have taken advantage of such conditions to hold on to what they should turn loose. When we are passing through a season like this, which by most people is called "hard times," it is difficult for many to meet thsir financial obligations but soma dodge behind the cry of hard times and re fuse to pay debts whan they could pay them easily enough without any regard to the hard times. This is very wrong. The truth is, at a time like this every man who can do so should pay his obligations in order that others may have the money he turns loose with which to pay their bills and accounts also. To dodge behind hard is another way of putting off your creditors with a plea that is not really true and with a motive that is not really honest. The better and braver thing is to strive with all one's might to forget "hard times' be grateful for what is at hand and make the best of it. By ali means at a time like this, let us all be honest with ourselves and with each other. On the first day of January electric power was transmitted fromPuck horn Falls on Cape Fear river to Fayetteville, a distance of thirty-five in that part greater things. The Fayetteville Observer's first paragraph concerning ! the occasion says: "January the first, 1908, and the Buckhorn electric I power ia actually being transmitted to Fayetteville, as promised by Mr. j Eugene Maxwell, the Manager of the Phoenix Construction Company, the company, 'phoned Mr. Maxwell, who was at Buckhorn, that all was ready. Mr. Maxwell gave the word of command for the three great whaels to be set in motion, and in a few minutes, and at exactly 10 o'clock Mr. Douglas threw on a switch. At once the building wa3 brilliantly lighted with a nnmber of incandescent lights, and a little motor engine was set in motion, these being visible sign3 of the tremendous power, enough to run all the machinery in Fayetville and more, that was being sent from Buckhorn, 35 miles away, with a voltage strength of 60,000." In the midst of what pessimists often call a wicked and perverse gener j ition, it is refreshing to And many who believe in the trend of humanity SeiTiStlilna Cettcr. Newt: "At some period or other in every man's life there comes a call for better things. A 'still small voice' whispers and some reform or other is suggested. Nor does man ever reach a plane so low as to escape the voice of this monitor of Conr-cience. If the call is hearkened unto the result is that some resolution is made, either quietly with one's self or pro claimed aloud. But the man who refuses to act upon the suggestion of his soul's monitor then and there resolves to remain as he ia, spurns the call to a betterment of himself and this ic what we speak of as a bad reso lution. Every person either resolves to change, to reform, to turnabout, or to stand still. The new year season is considered the time when this change, broadly spoken of as "reform," takes place, but the call of the inner man may come as well at any other time. With most of u it is an ever present influence, an omni-present voice inviting us upward, and onward. Sometimes it is spoken of as hope, but by whatever name it may be called it is the sama subtle appeal to the will, to the conscience, to change about, to do things, to be something worth while! If you have followed us in the above, you must realize, then, that the matter is not one for jest, but of sterneit reality, holding as it does the destiny of each individual in its settlement. Then let us make resolutions. Let us quiet ly cr publicly determine to build up rather than deteriorate; to act rather than loaf away existence; to succeed rather than fail!" ; li a. cold om o eta into your system it acts ini every niiifolo ami lihreof the body a:.d makes you ache all over.

This shows considerable development of th State and is a precursor of for better things. This is well and truthfully set forth in the following from the Charlotte The finest Coffee Substitute ever made, has recently been produced by Dr. Shoop, of Racine, Wis. Youdon't have to boil it twenty or thirty min utes. "Made in a minute," says the doctor. "Health Colf'ee" is really the closest Coftee Imitation over yet pro duced. Not a grain of real Coffee in it either. Health Coffee Imitation is made from pure toasted cereals or grains, with malt, nuts, etc. Really it would fool an expert were he to un knowingly drink it for Coffee. W. T. Tyler. A Sign board. (By Request.) I will piant you a sign board, rum seller, And hang it above your door, A truer and better sign board Than ever you had before. I will paint with the skill of a master. And many shall pause to see This wonderful peice of painting, So like the reality. I will paint yourself, rumseller, As you wait for that fair young boy, Just in the morn of .;anhood, A mother's pride and joy. He has no thought of stopping. But you greet him with a smile, And you seem so gay and friendly That he pauses to chat awhile. I will paint you again, rumseller, I will paint you as you stand, Holding a glass of liquor, Sparkling in either hand. Ha wavers; but you urge him "Drink! pledge me just this one," And he lifts the glass and drains it, And the hellish work is done. And next I will paint a drunkard, Only a year has flown, But into this loathsome creature The fair young boy has grown. The work was sure and rapid, I will paint him as he lies In deathlike drunken slumber, Under the wintry skies. I will paint the form of the mother, As she kneels at her darling's side; Her beautiful boy who was dearer Than all the world beside. I will paint the shape of coffin, And label it one word lost, I will paint all this, rumseller, I will paint it free of cost. The sin and the shame and the sor row, The crime and the want and the woe, That were born there in your rum shop, No hand can paint, you know. But I will paint you a sign, rumsel ler. And many shall pause to view That wonderful swinging ign board, So terribly, fearfully true. Ii I Were A Boy. (Bishop Vincent.) If I were a boy I should put no un clean thoughts, pictures, sights or stories in my imagination, and no loud words on my tongue. I should treat little folks kindly, and not tease them; show respect to servants; be tender toward the unfor tunateall of this I should strive to do for the sake of being a com fort to people, a joy to my parents, and a help to the next century. If I were a boy I should play and romp, sing and shout, climb trees, explore caves.swim rivers and be able to do all the manly things that be long to manly sports; love and study nature; travel as widely and observe a3 wisely as I could; study hard with a will when the lime came for study; read the very best literature work of the imagination, history, science, and art according to my taste and need; get a good know ledge of English; try to speak accur ately and distinctly; go to colloge even if I expected to be a clerk, a farmer, or a machanic; spend my Sabbaths reverently; try to be a prac tical every-day Christian; help on every good cause; never make sport of sacred things; be" about my Father's business," like the boy of Nazereth; "use the world and not abuse it;" treat eld men as fathers, "the young men as brethern, the elder women as mothers, the yonger as sisters, with all purity," and thus I would try to be a Christian gentleman, wholesome, sensible, cheerful, inde pendent, courteous. Two Kiads ol Girls. (Exchange.) "There are two kinds of girls in the world," says somebody, "the girl who works and the girl who gads." Commend us to the former. Work lends dignity to a pretty girl is an added charm to her. The girl wTho works God bles3 her com bines the useful and the ornamental. She might gad about or roll on sofas, but she prefers to be some account in the world and goes out stenogra pher, teacher, saleslady, etc., and bravely makes her own way. Such are the salt of the earth and of sueh is the kingdom of Heaven. Do you have backache occasionally, or "stitches" in the side, and some times do you feel all tired out, without ambition and without energy? If so, your kidneys are out of order. Take DeWitt'ts Kidney and Bladder Tills. They promptly relieve backache, weak back, inflammation of the bladder and weak kidneys. Sold E. T. Whitehead & Co. Ptonsalo-PoisoBleg. (Youth's Companion.) Food-poisoning is uncommon, if we consider the number of persons who eat more or less heartily from two to four times a day; yet it oc curs with more frequency than is ordinarily supposed, the symptoms in the majority of cases being very slight, and the poison being thrown off by a single attack of vomiting or a slight diarrhoea. Even in cases of severe and wide spread poisoning, such as are men tioned occasionally in the papers as occurring at picnics or church fes tivals from the eating of sandwiches or ice-cream, the number of fatal cases is small. The greatest mortality is from mussel and mushroom-poisoning, the number of fatal eases in epidemics of this sort being sometimes as high as thirty per cent. The first thing to do in a case of food-poisoning, if seen early enough, is to get rid of the offending mater ial. Vomiting may be induced, if it has not already occured through nature's effort to cure, by a drink of mustard and water or tepid salt and water, or by tickling the back of the throat with a feather or a rod of paper. As soon as the stomach has been emptied, or immediately, if the patient is not seen until some time after the meal of poisonous material, the bowels should be moved by salts and by an enema. If diarrhoea is present and excessive, a single dose of salts may be given, and after that remedies tending to quiet the action of the bowels. No food should be given, but the patient may be allowed plenty of water, at the same time that free perspiration is induced by hot bottles or hot bricks in the bed, in which he lies, covered with several blankets. In short, the treatment is directed to the removal from the system as rapidly as possible of the poisonous matters. Of course these directions for treatment are for the guidance of the family of the sufferer while waiting for the physician, for so serious a condition as food-poisoning calls for the doctor's care just as soon as it can be secured. Collapse is to be treated by warmth, by rubbing of the extremi ties, and by stimulation. Very strong black coffee, as hot as it can be drunk, is an excellent stimulant of the heart in these cases, and one or two small cups may render great service. A Curious Fact About Heating. (Healthly Home.) This explains why we are some times cold, and even chilly, when the thermometer stands at 75 or 80 de grees. It has been fouud that one is perfectly comfortable in a temper ature of 60 degrees if the relative humidity is 60 per cent. Some one asks what is meant by 60 per cent, humidity. It is explained in this way: At 60 degrees Fahren heit a cubic foot of air will hold nearly six grains of water in the form of vapor. Sixty per cent, humidity means that a cubic foot of air con tains six-tenths as much moisture as it is possible for it to hold. It is not uncommon in hot rooms heated by direct raditation to find the humidity dropping as low as 20 per cent., which of course is exceedingly dry. People will often be chilly in a room where the thermometer shows over 70 degrees. Place a boiling tea-kettle in the same room for fifteen min utes, and, without raising the tem perature, and it will be found to be enterely comfortable. This is be cause the air ha3 become saturated with moisture, and hence does not abstract the moisture from the skin and so make the uncomfortable chilly sensation. It will be seen that as a mere means of saving fuel, without any regard to health, it is economy to keep the air of the house moist. In a general way this is understood, for every furnace is equipped with a little re servoir for holding water, the pur pose being to supply moisture to the air by evaporation. Recently more effective devices have been invented and are being used now in nearly all good houses.lt wouldn't be a bad plan for people who are interested it this matter to hang a hydrometer beside their thermometer. This is a little instrument which registers the amount of humidity or moisture in the air, ind is likely to prove of very great value DISTURBED THE CONGREGATION The xeraon who disturbed the con gregation last Sunday by continually coughing is requested to buy a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar.
