A WINNING BTART
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.
Everything goes wrong If the break
fast lies In your stomach like a mud
pie. What you eat does harm If you
can't digest It —It turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast She j
says:
"Two years ago I contracted a very
annoying form of Indigestion. My stom
ach was In such condition that a sim
ple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
"I was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give It up, and found
a great change upon a cup of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year I have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi
ciously varying my diet
"I have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means a saving of nerv
ous fore* for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value of
Qrape-Nuts. *

Many Teachers Receive Trslnlnfl.
In a statement Just Issued by Dr.
J. Y. Joyner, state superintendent of
Piiiblic instruction relative to the
teachers training activities In thlß
state during this vacation season It
Is shown that there are over 1,200
teachers receiving special training
In the summer schools of the State
University, the State Normal and in
dustrial College and the Fast Caro
lina Training Institutes that are being
held in most of the counties of the
state and others who are availing
themselves of other means of Improv
ing their personal equipment for
teaching.
Insect Has Attacked Cotton Crop.
A small Insect, resembling tlnv
grasshoppers, is said to be Infesting
the cotton fields of the farmers of
Mecklenburg county and considera
ble alarm Is being stirred up as a con
sequence of the finding that the pest
has made lis presence felt in sections
of the county. For some time, farmers
universally have been wondering
about the slow development of their
cotton crops, but blamed the tardi
ness for the most part on the charac
ter of the weather which has been
anything but favorable to rapid ma
i turlty of cotton.
Negro Killed by Seaboard Engine.
Isarn Cowser, a negro preacher and
for several years an employe on the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, was run
j over and Instantly killed by a
switch engine. Sowser had stepped
aside to dodge freight t-aln number
22, Just entering the yard, when he
was caught by the shifting engine.
No one saw the accident.
Political Situation Interesting.
As the democratic county primary,
which will be held at Forest City,,
Aug. 3, draws nearer the political
situation In this county grows more
Interesting, and Its outcome Is await
ed with much interest. With about
21 bats in the ring now and moro
being thrown In for the different
county offices the result Is now. In
doubt. Probably the hottest race will
be for sheriff, representatives and
state senate, but the main Interest
Is in the fight for sheriff. C. E. Tan
ner is opposed by J. V. Ware.
Rumcrs of Confession Aflost.
"Frank Gladden, has confessed."
This Is the report that spread like
wild lire and 'phone calls and Inquir
ies came from the remotest sections
of the county. Several men drove
six and eight miles to Shelby on the
strength of the rumor. Gladden is in
Jail to be tried again for the mur
der of Mr. and Mrs. John Dixon and
the self-confessed murderer and ne
gro, John Ross, who accuses Glad

county Jail. Sheriff Wllklns quickly
branded the report as (Hike.-
THE COUNTY ROAD BONDS
The Convention to Consider the Prob
lem of the Stat# Security For the
County laauaa.
Charlotte. The coming conven
tion of the North Carolina Good
Roada Aaaoclation to be held here
August 1 and 2 la attracting atten
tion from peopla all over the state.
The committee la charge of the con
vention haa received a number of let
tera of congratulation and inquires
daily from the intereat manifested
already, the prospect for a large at
tendance la bright.
The moat important question to
come before the aaaoclation will be
that of the state becoming security
for county bonds that are issued for
the construction of public roads. A
bill to thia effect was pasaed by the
Houae of the General Assembly of
1911, and came within a few votes of
paaslng the senate after a lengthy de
bate. Aa la yell known the state
can issue its bonds uaually at a rate
that is one per cent less than that for
which a county can sell Its bonds.
The bill provided that the state !
should accept the county bonds ;is |
bearing 6 per cent interest and issue j
Its bonds at 4 per cent to corer the
amount of the county bonds; that the |
county should pay the state each I
year for forty years 5 per cent in- '
terest on these bonds. As the atat»* ,
Is to pay only 4 per cent on Its bonds,
this would leave 1 per cent the state
could have as a sinking fund to take
care of bonds when they fell due.
At the end of forty years this would
amount to the principal of the bonds
and the state would pay on Its bonda
and leturn to the county their county
bonda cancelled. Thus the county has
to pay only a 6 per cent Interest on
Its bond Issue, and the state, with
out any expense, has been able t
pay the principal of the bonda fo
the county.
This question will he the one gone
Into more carefully perhaps than any
other.
Seven Prisoners Break Jail.
Set en prisoners, three white anu
four negroes, escaped from the |
county Jail and as yet havs not been j
located. All of the prisoners had I
been allowed to stay out in th* outer

All of the prisoners no doubt would
havo escaped If they had not been |

known the officers sent msftsatfta all '
over the county to the people to be
on the lookout. Thoae escaping arc: j
George Smith, Ralph Bowman and H
Paul Bradshaw, white; Will Black- j
well Charlea Davis, Oeorge Allison
and Reld Thomas, colored. The white
men had been brought here from
Taylorsvllle for safe-keeping, while
Alexander county is building a new
Jail.
Rutherford Medical Society Meet.
The Rutherford County Medical 1
Society met at Forest City with a i
good attendance. The entire meeting
was devoted to the discussion of pel
lagra. Dr. J. F. Slier of the pellagra
commission now located at Spartan
burg. S. C., was present and gave an
Interesting discussion on pellagra,
giving a brief history of the work thai
they are doing In America and Italy.
Dr. Slier condemns the newspapers
Impressing the people that pellagra
Is an incurable disease, he says "in
vestigatlon proves that the mortal
ity rate Is not more than ten pel
cent." Dr. Henry Norrls of Huther
fordton gave a second report of the
cases treated In the Rutherford hos
ptal and the observations gather

One of the most successful fat
mers' Institutes held In Durham:
county was held at Bilboa, a flag
station about three miles east of Dur
ham. A very large crowd of farmers
attended the Institute, and took
much interest in the various speak
ers. Mrs. Orr and Miss Leola Mon
day made talks to the women of the
farms, mainly about preserving,
bread making, and other topics for
making the farm home a more at
tractive place. The men directed theii
talks to the farmers.
Conditions Are Satisfactory,'
While it may not be apparent that
anything is being done to push the
building of the Norfolk Southern
road. President B. T. Lamb has Just
finished a tour of Inspection over the
proposed route in company with W.
H. Hudson, reporting that the condit
ions are satisfactory, and that the
eff.irts of the company are be

MADE BIG PROFIT FOR STATE
Purely Business Argument for the Es
tablishment of Sanltorlums for
the Tuberculosis.
According to figures contained in the
annual report of Dr. H. L. Barnes, su
perintendent of the Rhode Island state
sanltorlum. the earnings of the ex
patients of that institution during the
year 1911 would amount to orer $266,-
000. This Is a sum three times as
large as that spent each year for main
tenance of the v institution, including
four per cent, interest and deprecia
tion charges.
The actual earnings in 1911 of 170
ex-patients were obtained by Dr.
Barnes. These ranged from 12 to
$Bl per week, the total earnings for
the year amounting to $102,752. On
this basis, Dr. Barnes computes the
figures above given. He says, how
ever: "While Institutions for the cure
of tuberculosis are good investments,
there Is good reason for thinking that
Institutions for the isolation of far
advanced cases would be still better
investments."
Out of a total of 46,450 hospital days'
treatment given, 39,147, or 84 per
cent., were free, the treatment costing
the state on an average S2OO per pa
; tient. Out of the 188 free cases invest!-
| gsted, 66 had no families and no in-
E come on admission to the sanltorium.
Out of 132 patients having homes, the
number in the family averaged 5.1, and
the average family earnings were
6.46. In 69 cases the families had no
income, and in only five cases were
there any savings, none of which
amounted to as much as SIOO.

To Protect the Flowers.
Edelweiss and other characteristic
