FENCE BROKEN DOWN

Damage Done the Build
ing Will Run High It
is Said
Vandalism to an almost inconceiv
able degree was engaged in last night
by a party of boys, when the High
school building, No. 418 Ann street,
was broken into after window panes
and front side columns had been de
faced with paint. Several of
the youngsters, believed to have been
participants and their parents were
summoned to police headquarters late
in the night and questioned concern
ing the outrage committed. They
were at police headquarters as late as
1 o'clock this morning and the inves
tigation, with Mr. Malcolm Little,
principal of the school, assisting, is
being continued today. Practically
ail of those who were summoned to
headquarters are too. small, to prose
cute and it has not been established
as yet that they were participants in
the affair. The investigation is to be
continued and every effort made to
determine the guilty parties. It was
hinted that a wholesale expulsion of
students might result and prosecu
tions are not unlikely, Chief of Po
lice Williams stated. When asked
concerning the matter this morning
Mr. Little stated that he would have
a statement to make later, but was
unable to say anything at that time,
as the investigation had not progress
ed far enough.
The stately columns in front of the
building were smeared with paint and
in the opinion of Chief Williams it is
extremely doubtful if its renioval will
be possible. Window panes in the
building were similarly treated, but
these can be easily removed and sub
stituted with others. All movable ob
jects that could be found and much
litter, acocrding to the police report,
were piled on the main entrance
steps and a portion of the play yard
fence was broken down. Not satisfied
with this, the furnace room was then
broken into and damage done there.
The investigation that was begun
last night was continued until early
this morning, and Officer Coleman, of
the plain clothes department, picked
up the investigation the first thing
today, and is still working on it. The
police have a list of boys who are
supposed to have participated in the
affair and a number of these were ex
amined last night.
The fact that last night was Val-
entine night gave the boys more . free-

A VERY GOOD SHOW.
Efforts-of the Broadway Belles Well
Received at Royal.
The Broadway Belles, this week's
attraction at the Royal theate, con-
time to please, and appreciation of
their efforts is being shown in the
eratifvine attendance". The company
contains a number of unusually good
voices and their bills go with a snap
that is rather unusual in "tao snows.
Th chorus is made up of comely
vnuiie women who can not only kick
but who can sing, a combination that
is too often lacking in this class of
attraction. Patrons of the Royal are
not disappointed in the Broadway
Belles and they will probably be seen
by capacity houses during the remain
der of thejr stay to tns cny.

REQUIREMENT WILL
BENEFIT FISHERMEN
Today is Last Day One is Sup
posed to Operate Without
License ; No Charge
is Attached
Under a recent proclamation hv t,
President, the second issued by him
on control of the fish industry, salt
water fishermen, generally, must be
licensed by the Food Administration.
By the first proclamation, effective
November 1, 1917, it was made com
pulsory for all wholesale fish distribu
tors, brokers and commission men to
secure licenses; but those catching
fish were not included unless they
were also in one of the classes named.
By the new proclamation "all salt
water fishermen, whether fishing in
dependently or on shares," must se
cure licenses if "engaged at any pe
rior of the year in the commercial
distribution , including catching or
selling, of any or all varieties of salt
water fish, including menhaden, and
of shell fish and crustaceans."
These licenses should be secured on
or before February 15, and are issued
without charge or fee of any kind. Ap
plication blanks can be obtained in
the larger fishing districts on the
coasts, from wholesale fish distribu
tors or from the Food Administration
in Washington direct. When filled
out they should be mailed to the
"United States Food Administration,
License Division, Washington, D. C.
This division will also answer any re
quests for information. The term,
salt water fisherman" includes all
(except those employed for wages
only, without a share in the proceeds)
who are engaged in catching salt wa-
x . I . -at
ier nsn or producing, any otner Kina
of sea food, including lobsters, crabs,
shrimps, oysters, clams, etc. Also any
person, firm corporation or associa
tion engaged in production and em
ploying any such fishermen or pro
ducer of sea food, whether for wages
or on. shares or both, must take out
a license.
This license system, as applied to
the fishermen, is wholly for their
benefit, not to affect their prices nor
to limit their operation, but to extend
them and to remove local restrictions
that now prevent free and full devel
opment of sea food production.
A NEW RULING ISSUED
The Farmers Allowed to Buy
Flour Without Cereals
Flour may be sold farmers by . re
tail merchants without requiring them
to purchase cereals in like quantity
conditional upon the signing ot a cer
tificate that they have produced and
are using corn meal, grits hominy or
other cereals to the same extent that
flour is being used, under a new rul
ine iust received by County Food Ad
ministrator Jy G. McCormick, $rom
State Administrator Page. The new
ruling allows purchase of 48 pounds
of flour against 24 pounds previously
permitted. Following is the new or
der issued:
"Retail merchants are hereby au
thorized to sell flour alone in quan
tities not exceeding 24 pounds to
farmer customers who sign a fonnal
certificate stating that they have pro
duced and are using corn meal, girts,
hominy or other cereal substitutes
contained in the list included in the
recent orer of the food administra
tion to the same extent as they use
flour.
"Wholesalers, jobbers, millers and
brokers are hereby authorized to sell
to retailers flour alone in such quan
tities as said retailers have sold to
farmers under the ruling above stat
ed, balancing againsjt such sale of
flour the certificates received by the
retailer from the farmer. These cer
tificates in turn may be used by the
wholesaler or other dealer to balance
against purchases of flour from mills
"We also desire to call attention to
the fact that, as announced by the
food administration," says the State
Food Administrator, "retail food deal
ers doing a business of less than
$100,000 are ' not subject to license
February 15th wnen sucn license be
comes effective for all manufacturers
and jobbers and for those retailers
who do a business of $100,000 per
year."

Regular Meeting of Chamber
of Commerce Was Brief
But Interesting
Extending of invitation to Secre
tary of War Newton D. Baker to visit
here in event his proposed trip to
Charlotte is made for the purpose of
inspecting Camp Greene and favor
able reception of a proposed amend
ment to the constitution that will ne
cessitate the reference of all adver
tising schemes with the exception of
that done in the local papers, picture
shows and in bona fide publications,
to the advertising committee, togther
with a request that Mr. James H.
Cowan, Industrial agent for the city,
be permitted to make an itenary of
the State in order to acquaint all
communities with the advantages of
this port and secure co-operation of
the entire State in having these ad
vantages recognized and utilized by
the government were the chief items
of interest to come before the regular
monthly meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, held yesterday afternoon
and which was presided over by Vice
President J. G. McCormick, in the ab
sence of President Jacobi.
The suggestion that Secretary Bak
er be invited here met with hearty
approval and the State's representa
tives in Washington are to be advis
ed to urge acceptance of the Invita
tion, which is also backed by the Ro
tary Club, that organization wiring
the Secretary during the afternoon
and urging acceptance of the invita
tion of the Chamber. The idea in
bringing the Secretary of War here
is not in an effort to have Camp
Hlreene removed from Charlatte to
this city, but rather to have Mr. Bak
er see for himself the advantages
Wilmington offers with the object of
having other possible activities center
ed here.
The request that Mr. Cowan be per
mitted to visit all sections of the
State was made by Mr. Louis T.
Moore, secretary of the Rotary Club
and one of a committee of three ap
pointed from the last bi-monthly
meeting of that organization to han
dle the proposition. The other mem
bers of the committee are J. D. Rice
and Marsden Bellamy, Esq. The sug
gestion was regarded in a kindly light
by members of the Chamber but the
opinion was expressed that the steer
ing committee would hav full power
m a matter of this kind and it was
decided to allow this committee to
handle the proposition.
Members took kindly to the plan
that has to do with advertising and
the proposed amendment to the con
stitution that will result in reference
of all advertising schemes to the
committee on Advertising in event It
is adopted was read. It will come up
for final action at the next regular
meeting of the Chamber. It follows
"Members of the Chamber of Com
merce shall refer all advertising prop
ositions, with the exception of adver
tising In local newspapers, motion pic
ture shows and recognized bona fide
publications, to the advertising com
mittee of the Chamber, for its consid
eration, and shall abide by its deci
sion, this committee having been ap
pointed to investigate and pass on
the merits of advertising, donations,
promoters' propoistions as well as en
courage serviceable and meritorous
advertising for the city of Wilming
ton; Any member violating this by'
la wis subject of a fine of $2.50 for
the first offense and $5 for each and
every offense thereafter."
Mr. Satchwell Appointed.
Paul D. Satchwell, Esq., of this city,
has been appointed clerk in the Treas
ury Department, according to advices
sent out from Washington. This will
be learned with pleasure by friends of
Mr. Satchwell here.

EAT LESS MEAT
IF JACK HURTS
Take a glass of Salts to flush
Kidneys if bladder bothers
you
Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
or other, says a. well-known autnority,
because the uric acid m meat excites
thekidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish, clog up and cause all
sorts of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, 3evere headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid liv
er, sleplessness, bladder and urinary
irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if blad
der bothers yoa, get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any good pharrhacy;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This f amuos salts Is made from the
acid of grapes and - lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush clogged kid
neys and stimulate them to normal
activity; also to neutralize the acids
in the urine so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injtir-j anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which millions of men
and women take now and 1 hen to keep
the kidneys' and urinary organs clean.

was made at the direction of Director
General McAdoo and is merely a plan
that is being carried out in all port
cities since the government took ovr

What Tennessee Folks Say
ABOUT A NEH DISCOVERY
Many local people are glad to testify
to the good results obtained from Anuric,
the discovery of Doctor Pierce of the
Invalids Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., for kidney
and bladder . disorders, backache, rheu
matism and all uric acid troubles. This
is what Mr. E. W. Bagshaw says :

kidney and bladder troubles, and I can
truthfully say that it has done me more
good than any remedy I ever used, and
they are legion. No one will make a
mistake in using any preparation sent out
by Dr. Pierce. I have had many years
experience with his Institution and Know
whereof I speak."
When the kidneys are weak or diseased,
these natural filters do not cleanse the
blood sufficiently, and the poisons are
carried to all parts of the body. There
follow depression, aches and pains, heavi
ness, drowsiness, irritability, headaches,
chilliness and rheumatism. In some peo
ple there are sharp pains in - the back
and loins, distressing bladder disorders
and sometimes obstinate dropsy. The
uric acid sometimes forms into gravel
or kidney stones. When the uric acid
affects the tissues, muscles and joints,
It causes lrmbago, rheumatism, gout or
