. OF GRIP THIS YEAR
Leans Kidneys in Weakened Condition
Doctors In all parts of the country
have been kept busy with the epidemic
ot grip which has visited so many
homes. The symptoms of grip this
year are very distressing and leave
the system in a run down condition,
particularly the kidneys which seem
to suffer moat, as every victim com
plains of lame back and urinary trou
bles which should not be neglected, as
these danger signals often lead to
more serious sickness, such aa dread
ed Bright's Disease. Local druggists
report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root which so many people
say soon heals and strengthens the
kidneys after an attack of grip.

effect on the kidneys, which is almost

SEVEN YEARS
OF MISERY
How Bethune was Re
stored to Health by Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegeta
ble Compound.
Rikeston, Mo. "For seven years 1
suffered everything. 1 was i:i bed for
four or Ave days at a
time every month,
and so weak 1 could
hardly walk. I had
cramps, backache
and headache, and
was so nervous and
weak that 1 dreaded
to see anyone or
have anyone move in
the room. The doc-
tors gave me medi
cine to ease me at
those times, and said that 1 ought to
have an operation. I would not listen to
that, and when a friend of my husband's
told him about Lydia E. Pinkham 'R Veg
etable Compound and what it had done
for his wife, I was willing to take it.
Now 1 look the picture of health and feel
like it, too, I can do all my own house
work, work in the garden and entertain
company and enjoy them, and can walk
as far as any ordinary woman, any day
in the week. I wish 1 could talk to every
suffering woman and girl, and tell them
what Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable
Compound has done for me.Mrs.
DEMA BETIIUNE, Sikeston, Mo.
Remember, the remedy which did this
was Lydia E. I'inkham's Vegetable
Compound.
It has helped thousands of women who
have been troubled with displacements,
inflammation, ulceration, tumors, irreg
ularities, periodic pains, backache, that
bearing down feeling, indigestion, and
nervous prostration,after all other means
have failed. Why don't you try it ?

Raleigh— Mr. W. H, Swift, of
Greensboro, Field Secretary of the
North Carolina Child Labor Associa
tion, spent a day in the city on his
return from the Kayetteville mills,
whero -he had bevn to interest the
owners of these Industries iu his
work.
Mr. Swift is traveling North Caro
lina now and Interviewing the mill
men of the state -With reference to
some reforms in this work. He Is
meeting chiefly cotton mill men and
la working under the instructions of
the committee.
He has been out since January. Mr,
Swift finds the men whom he has
met most willing to talk with him
and is meeting with no protests be
cause ho has interviewed gentlemen
who do not regard him as an agita
tor who Is stirring up feeling.
"Our work is briefly this," Mr.
Swift eald, "the agreemeut upon a
minimum age at which children
should be taken in the mills. We
think that fourteen aught to be as
young as they should be allowed to
work in the day time and sixteen for
night service. Having been a school
teacher all of my life, 1 know some
thing of the hardship upon young
children. Wo have made In the
school rooms six hours the maximum
of work, but ten hours in the mill
will be seen to be a much harder
day's work.
"But I am finding very little dis
agreement and that has all been
pleasant. Many think thirteen a fair
ape, many agree that fourteen is the
light one. Not a tew mill men may
i'O found who desire above all things
lo have the children in the schools.
They will make better workmen
and workwomen If they are Intelli
gent and taught, while there Is con
siderable sen tlnieffl Tor ltie abotltloti
of night work for women altogether."

were acted upon. One of the most
important was the lotting of the con
tract for the construction of the steel

WILL GROW STRAWBERRIES
The Meeting That Was Held >t Elixa
beth City Will Result in Much
Good Being Dons.
Elizabeth City.—The strawberry
meeting held here was a great suc
cess and was attended by many far
mers of this and adjoining counties.
The meeting was held in the county
court house and was presided over
by Col. E. F. Lamb, secretary of the
chamber of commerce. Colonel Lamb
made a few opening remarks, and
was followed by C. Johnston director
of the Virgina truck experiment sta
tion; Prof. J. E. PUlsbary of the
North Carolina Agricultural & Me
chanical College at Haleigh and Maj.
B. E. Rice, head of tho land and
industrial department of the Norfolk
Southern Railroad.
Professor Pllisbury stated that he
had driven over some of the territory
in on automobile and was convinced
that this county was particularly
adapted to the growing of strawber
ries and felt sure the planters could
reap a rich harvest from the crop.
Professor Johnston gave some very
able statistics and facta about the
Btrawberry crop and assured those
present that he could see no reason
why the excellent soil of this county
could not produco the strawberry in
as equal quality and quantity as any
section he had vlsted Professor
Johnston Is fully posted on truck
crops and his talk was highly Inter
esting and instructive.
Major Rice assured the farmers
that the Norfolk Southern was will
lug and ready to co-operato with
them In bringing tho lands up to the
highest productivity and believed that
the planters were missing a great op
portunity by not going Into strawber
ry growing on a larger scale.
Train Narrowly Escaped Wreck
The night train from Btatesville to
Charlotte had a narrow escape from
being wrecked by a broken rail. The
train was running at usual speed and
when about 12 miles north of Char
lotte Rnglneer Cutiee felt his engine
give a severe jar as if it hart pawed
over some obstruction on the track.
110 immediately applied the brakes
and when the train came to a stand
still Conductor Host, who had been
alarmed by the jarring, rushed back
along the track with other trainmen
in search of the trouble. To their
amazement they found that a piece
of rail three feet long had bean bro
ken out of the truck and fortunate-
Iy the entire Train had passed over
the broken rail without derailing a
single truck. The trouble was re
ported at the next station and the
track was repaired later In, the
night.
Big Haul of Illicit Distilleries,
Internal Revenue Agent R. B. Sam*
haH received a batch of reports from
Deputy Collector llendrlx and Spe
cial Employes Weaver and Webster,
of the seizure of It illicit distilleries
that were taken on a raid by these
officers in Franklin and Patrick coun
ties , Virginia. The raid in which
these seizures were made lasted
from January 25th to 28th. These
reports will add materially to the list
of plants destroyed by the officers
this month and in spite of the fact
that tilings have been rather quiet for
them lately January promises to be
a record month from the point of
view of numbers. The officers did
not make any arrests as a result of
the seizures but they destroyed about
12,5ti0 gallons of beer and poured out
a quantity of whiskey.
Will Apply To Governor For Pardon,
Application will be made soon to
Governor Kltchin for the pardon ot
\V. F. Stlnette, formerly ti telegaph
operator of Greensboro, who is nerv
ing u term of 12 months on the coun
ty roads for the Illicit sale of whis
key. The pardon will be urged by
Messrs. Supp & Williams, whose ser
vices are being rendered without
charge. Stinnette lost his place with
the railway on account of drinking.
Having a wife and children to sup
port, ho turned to retailing, with the
inevitable result that he was convict
ed and sentenced to the roads. He
has served half of his sentence. It
is thought that he will lead a better
life.
Fund To Run Down "Blind Tigers."
The Kulcigh aldermen, in session
voted to provide a fund of SSOO to be
used by the chief of police in running
down "blind tigers" and other viola
tors of the probibtlon law, this ac
ton being taken at the request of
the police commission. At the same
time Alderman Harden gave, notice
of an ordinance for next meeting
passage, increasing the liquor sell
ing license tax on drug stores to
SI,OOO each. He said that it Is a no
torious fact that they are selling
whiskey on a large scale.
The Socialists Mean Business.
The Sociallst/i of Greensboro are
waging a strenuous campaign tor mu
nicipal meat market, but while gos
sip is general, registration for the
election to be held February 28 jias
been very light. The Socialists'
strength in the city Is about seventy
live and practically every one of this
number is devoting personal effort
toward the measure./ The fight hat
already reached the personal stag'
and -laest metV'dealers, termed th
"mlddle men," are in the thick of lh>
wordy warfare.

WOMEN AND HEALTH.
Women are beginning to realize
more fully that good health Is not to
be found 1» the use of cosmetics and
face powders. The appearance of
health rrny follow facial treatment,
but health itself iiep much deeper than
the surface.
Most important to tho health of ev
ery v/oman is regularity of the bowels
and digestive organs. The weary
eyes, bad breath, frequent headaches,
pimples and general air of lassitude,
is in most every case due to consti
pation or indigestion, or both. There
are various remedies prescribed for
this condition, but the easiest, most
pleasant and certainly effective, is
a combination of simple laxative
herbs with pepsin known to druggists
as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. This
simple remedy is far preferable to
harsh salts and cathartics and violent
purgative waters that disturb the
whole system without affording more
than temporary relief.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
tonic laxative, mild in Its action,
pleasant to the taste and positive in
i's effect, strengthening the muscles
of stomach And. bowels so that after
a short time these organs regain the
power to perform their natural func
tions without assistance.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Is sold
by druggists everywhere in COc and
SI.OO bottles. If you have never tried
It. write for a sample to Dr. W B.
Cnldwell, 201 Washington St., Monti
cello, IU.; be will gladly send a trial
bottle without any expense to you
whatever.

A wonderful euro by
MILAM
Mr. W. I. Qrigga, Secretary and
Treasurer Westbrooks ■ levator
Co. and formerly Cashier Bank of
Danville, oeya:
"About tun yearn aeo ray eyesieht began to
fail to such an extent thai it became necessary
(or me to consult a specialist. My trouble in
creased until I »ou:id It necessary* to consult sev
eral others. My case w-i* diagnosed as Atrophy of
tbe Optic Nerve. caused liy impoverished blood
supply. The progress of tny trouble was slow
but steady, with ttever any relief, until finally
my physician advised ma that nothing further
could be done. About this time, about two yean
ago, 1 could not see to read, and my range ol
i vision waj so short that I could not »ee anything
4 at a groat-r distance than fifty or seventy-five
feet. 1 often found It difficult to recognize ac
quaintances when I met them, distinguishing
them more by their voices than their features.
In May, IDO'.i, a friend advised mo that 'if the
physician's diagnosis was correct, MILAM will
5 cure you, because It will purify and enrich th«
blood.increase the flaw, and build up the sys
tem; but it wMI take a lone time and tiie im
provement will bo slow.'
"I did not believe ono word of thl». and con
sent d totaka MILAM becai .o I did not think It
I could hurt me. and there might be a bare possi
bility that it might help me. After six weeks'
use I began to notice a slight improvement in
my sight, which bas been sl.tw but steady and
with no setback. Now I can read newspapers
with ordinary glasses, can distinguish large ob
jects two mile* away, and have no dilficulty
! now, as far as my sight w concerned. In attend
ing to my dulies as the executive officer of •
j corporation.
1 "I Bin still careful not to tax my eyes unrea
sonably. because I realise that I am not cured;
hut hope, and am more and more encouraged ai
ime passes, to believe thatthu continued use ol
'l'-.AM will euro rar.
"I think It proper to state that ray general
health and .strength have also improved In tbe
same ratio as my eyesight, and I attribute this te
the use of Milam.
