ALL DRUGGISTS i T6o Best Way to Cure Port. Prof. H. S. Mobley, Fayetteville, Ark., has used for year3 a system of curing meat that h2s been followed with success in his family in Vir ginia from generation to generation rince colonial days. It has been tested by hundreds . of people in many Southern States, and every one has found it more reliable for home curing than any other method. Professor Mobley furnished his method to the agricultural depart ment of the Rock Island lines for distribution. A day should be selected for kill ing when the temperature is low enough to insure a thorough cooling by the following morning, the hogs heir dressed and hung, over night. On the morning of the day the hogs are killed, for each 40 pounds of meat make a brine as follows: Twenty gallons of rain water, 30 pounds of salt, 8 ounces of baking soda, 10 pounds of brown sugsr, 1 gallon of molasses (use good molas ses, not the adulterated kind). This fluid should be boiled and skimmed in the morning and left to cool in a shady place. When cool, add 5 ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve the saltpeter in warm water and stir thoroughly. The following morning cut up the hogs as usual and pack in barrels. Put the sides of the meat or middl ings in the bottom and the shoulders next, and the skin side down. Weight the meat down well and pour the brine over until the meat is com pletely covered. Then cover the top of the barrel with some good thick covering that will prevent evapora tion. Look at the meat often enough to see that the brine ha3 not evaporat ed so as to leave the meat exposed. If it should become exposed more brine should be added. The meat can be left, in the brir.e indefinitely, but if it is desired to smoke the meat it should be taken out in about six weeks. If our Southern farmers will use th.i5 rrethod and cure th.Qir own meat at home they will save a neat sum each year. If it has been your custom to put up the supply of family moat by curing it with dry salt, and you do not care to risk all of it by another method, then try a barrel or two, using the above plan, and compare the results. Memphis Commercial-' Appeal. The Mileage Graft. Representative Byrnes, of South Carolina, one of the poungest mem bers of the House, offered a resolu tion last Saturday to reduce the rate of mileage allowed members from twenty cents the mile, the present allowance, to five cents the mile. His proposition was thrown out by an overwhelming vote, the Republi cans voting almost solidly against it. Catch the members of Congress do ing anything like that. They pay on the average three cents the mile for their railroad transportation and put seventeen cents the mile m their pockets. It is a comfortable bit of graft, and the Congressmen take it and are glad to get it and are not ashamed to vote for it; yet they are all honorable men. Let us see how it would work out if we had a Congressman living in Charlotte. Charlotte is 382 miles from Washington. The fare at three cents the mile would be .$11.46. The fare on the Pullman sleeper, lower berth, is $2 50. A very com fortable breakfast can be had on the dining car for $1.00, including a small tip to the waiter, and including also twenty-five cents to the porter, the total cost of the trip from Char lotte to Washington would be $15.21. If the member would buy a mileage book the cost would be reduced to $11.39. The amount paid the mem ber of Congress for this service would be $76.40 and the amount the amount the member would be able Tn f- intn his nocket would be V"-7 XT - $31.40. Would that be fair to the people who pay the taxes for the support of the government? But "that's the way the money goes, pop goes the weasel." Members traveling from (he Pa cific coast to Washington receive something like $600 as their mileage allowance and would be able to put into their pockets more than $400 the trip and the taking of $400 is grand larceny. The thing we cannot quite under stand is why the members oi Con gress do not vote themselves pen sions. Charlotte Observer. Customer What have you in the shape of oranges?

Make More Corn. ' The farmer is the mightiest man among us, but he does not appreci ate his might. He feeds us all; but he does not fully understand his in fluence. He holds in . his hand the destiny of other trades and occupa tion, either directly or remotely, but his importance is realized less by himself than others. Cotton is his mightiest sceptre, but other pro ducts of the fields also have a great effect upon the business interest of the nation. The farmer abuses his opportunity. He deep3 on his re sources. He is not awake to his duty. He mimimizes the weight of his own influence. The farmer knows it. What he ought to do is to open his eyes, both to his opportun ity and to his duty. His opportunity is plain. It is an open door to independence. The con tinued growth of the nation, the fostering of closer, relations with our brethren across the waters means wider and more "effectual door of usefulness" for the man who tills the soil. More products of the field are needed, more diversified products. The demand all along the line is sapidly overtaking the supply. With an ever-increasing population and zxi ever-changing civilization, these demands will not only multi ply, but they will diversify. New markets will be opened. The duty cf the farmer ought to be equally manifest as his opportun ity. He cannot live by cotton alone. He must cut his cotton acreage and make more corn. Now is the time to think about it and act. Let him now resolve that "this one thing I do" and let "this one thing I do" be to get awry from the one-crop idea. Charlotte Observer.

To Thee, my Master, I offer my prayer: Feed me, water and care for me and when my day's work is done pro-! vide me with shelter, a clean, dry bed and a stall wide enough for me to lie down in comfort. Talk to me. Your voice often means a3 much to me as the reins. Pet me sometimes, that I may serve you the more gladly and learn to love you. Do not jerk the reins, and do not whip me when going uphill. Never strike, beat or kick me when I do not understand what you want, but give me a chance to understand you. Watch me, and if I fail to do your bidding, see if something is not wrong with my harness or feet. Examine my teeth when I do not eat. I may have an ulcerated tooth. and that, you know, is very painful. Do not tie my head in an unnatur al position, or take away my best defense against flies and musquitos by cutting off my tail. . And finally, O my Master, when my useful strength is gone, do not turn me out to starve or freeze, or sell me to some cruel owner to be slowly tortured and starved to death; but do Thou, my Master, take my life in the. kindest way and your God will reward you here and hereaf cer. You will not consider me irrever ent if I ask you this in the name of Him who was born in a stable. Amen. A Striking Conversion. Owing to the unfavorable weather on Saturday, October 28, the rpgular meeting of the Swift Creek Union was, not held at our (Antioch) church. Sunday morning at 11 o'clock Bro. A. G. Wilcox preachd for us and our pastor, A. P. Mustian preached in the afternoon. One member was taken in the church and he asked to re!te h!3 or part ol experience. He told us that Sunday was the first time he had been in a church in tliirty years. That for the past thirty years he had been a barkeep er in a large city, and following the devil. He said that on the first day of last April he became dissatisfied and asked God to give him courage to change in ten minutes. He said God helped him to tell hi3 employer to get another bar-keeper, that he had been living for the devil long enough. He said that before he was converted he was drunk nearly all the time and every time he spoke he uttered an oath, and that since the first day of last April he has not ta ken a drink, uttered an oath or tak en a card in his hand. His conver sion was a miracle and what he said had much effect on his hearers. He said that he was about as bad ss could be, but now he was living for God. Geo. R. Bennett. Heathsville, N. C. Easy to Draw a Crowd. Some years ago two Monroe citi zensgotan empty barrell, took it over to the public square, put some brickbats in it and stood by looking into it and pointing to the brickbats. Not long until folks began to gather around the two wags and their bar rel and in less time than it takes to write it more folks than could 3ee in to the barrel had gathered, the ones on the edge of the crowd pushing and shoving to see what they could see. Last Saturday afternoon dur ing a heavy fall of rnia Deputy Sheriff Julian Griffith was observed in the middle of Franklin street with a shovel and a large oil cloth, filling the latter with mud from a particular spot in the street. It was only a short time until the curious had acquired visions of blood spots there and many rumora began afloat as to a great tragedy enacted. As Saturday is a day for the influx of a number of people to towr. v Inrge crowd gathered to witness the out come of the sheriff's investigations.

An entirely unprecedented thing occured in Washington durini the week following the convention of the present session of Congress on Dec. 4, although the country may have been too busy to have noticed it. The Democratic House met on every one of the six days following the opening day, remaining in ses sion throughout each day, ewry moment consumed in real work, un til it was time to light the lamps. This policy is in contract to the Republican custom of meeting on opening day, and, after remaining in session a few moments, adjourn ing to the second day thereafter; and upon convening the second day thereafter, of adjourning to the sec ond day after that, and so on, until two full weeks rr?.u u d, whan adjournment would be taken for the holidays. In te meant im0, of course, the congressman's pay off $20.83 per day, $156 per week and $625 per month would go merri ly on. the people paying the bill. The new policy simply means this, that the Democrats mean business. C. II. Tavenner. ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP? It Has Been Proved that Microbes Cause Baldness. Professor Unna, of Hamburg, Germrny, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading French dermatologist, dis covered that a microbe causes bald ness. Their theory hns time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on under the observation of eminent scientists. Thismicroba lodges in the Sebum, which is the natural hair oi), ard when permitted to flourish it de stroys the hair follicies and in time the pores entirely close, and the scalp gradually takes on a snmy ap- pearance. When this happeds thf-re is no hope of tho growth of hair be ing revived. We have a remedy which will, we, honestly believe, remove dandruff, exterminate the microb?, promote good circulation in the scalp and around the hair rootst, ighten and revitalize the hair roots, and over come baldness, so long as there is any life left in the hair roots.
