XXX * THURSDAY, JANUARY S, 1925 i'l llJLiFl DRINK MORE MILK i . ^.'ature in making Up her list of footls and feeds,, prepared only two ready mixed ones, and others must ? be mixed by the user. These two ready mixed complete rations are milk and eggs. Think what the world would do without these two foods. Henry Ford thinks man fan make them, but as yet man has failed to equal nature. There are some secrets that lie outside of pro- 1 teins. starches and fats. And why should man wish to dupl'i- : > cate these two foods. 'Nature is will ing to produce all he needs. Give the ? cow and hen a chance and they will . feed us the best to be had. The sale of Christmas seals ? brought in some money that will be used to instruct us in what we . should eat and. how it should bo pro-, pared. Take a hand in the work, as . many children ar? not drinking the j milk as they should. Drinking milk is somewhat of a habit as other drinkings, the more you drink the more you can drink up to the point where you have plenty for your body needs. Some children do not care for milk. Try forcing them to drink for a few days, and soon they will want their milk. Bread and milk for supper has made more strong men and women than any one thins that has been given to children. Yes. crumb it in if you wish. "Bread and milk for Sunday nights is a fine practice for both old and young. Some of the strongest and health iest old people I use to sell milk to were the ones who took a quart of milk each per day, and at night soaked their bread in the milk. What good sleeping it does induce. If you have restless nights and other things fail to give you that ; wished for nod. just order a quart of milk and- drink it before the animal heat is out. Remember how the baby falls to sleep after filling on milk. That is what it will do for you in some degree. The average cows milk is S7 per cent water and 13 per cent solids. ? The solids are made up of four or ; five kinds kinds of fats, caesin. and ash. The amount of caesin in cows , milk is most too much for babies, i hence you are required to dilute the | milk, and especially for some babies. ! Some cf the richer milks hav? most 1 too much of fats. A dairy having a i mixture of breeds has the best milk ; for babies, and for all in most re- 1 ? ? I spects. The milk from' a fresh cow or j from a large herd is better for babies and children than from a single : cow that gives under two gallons, per day. How much milk would it take to ; furnish all the needs of a man work- j ing in an office or like work? About three quarts per day. If he drinks three quarts per day for about three weeks, his digestive organs will draw! up to fit the ration and the man will j be satisfied, and have very little ap- j petite for other foods. Adults do need some coarse food though. Comparisons What is a quart of milk equal to in other foods? One quart, good av erage whole milk is equal to one pound steak. (25c.), one pound ham, ( 2nc > . or one-third pound cheese, (13c). or one-third pound butter, (20c). or eight common eggs, (40c), and s?n ?n with most all things that we can reasonably compare milk with. Milk was made for the support of infants of all mamals, and contains " all things needed by the body. The new subjects of minerals and vit imines are growing in importance as we find what happens when these ^^?stituents ace not present. Now is one food that has the mineral matter and all four of the vitimines. Eggs is the only other food that has them in sufficient quantities for our needs. . <?' If you do not care for raw milk, then use it in cooking. Make your home a part of the milky way that leads to health and happiness. The Goal Using more milk is good for the user, and means more cows in the county.. More cows in the county means more manure, and more ma nure means greater yields. Greater means greater wealth and sjtisfac yields means more profits, and that tion. More, cows for 1925, L. A. AMMON, Co. Agent. A speeding automobile in Indiana turned over twice and then ke"t on roing. The car proved that its own tendencies were sound and that the difficulty lay in convincing the driver that cars run better right side up. * ?" * f * * * News FROM RALEIGH ? By M. L. Ship man * f! . ^ ? i .* ? , ?' ?} ^ ~ * j|t ******#* * Raleigh, Jan. 7.? With State De partment heads whipping: their rec ommendations for? additional legisla tion into shape and the arrival of the advance guard" of the session of the General Assembly, the capital city is looking forward to a busy time this winter. 1 he capitol building has been com pletely renovated since the regular session of the General Assembly in li'23 and the work of setting in or der ihe legislative halls, committee rooms and other working quarters tor the solons and their little army of employees is well advanced, so that the preparations will be nearly com plete in every detail than in a long, long time, when the representatives of the "dear pe-pull" assembled on Wednesday of this week for a sixty- j day sojourn in the State capital. The new electric lighting equip- 1 merit, the ventilating system and j other improvements for the comfort j and convenience of the members are all practically completed and the fin ishing touches in cleaning and dust ing it has been completed. In a word, rhe capitol is dressed for the occa ?on as it has never been before in the memory of the present genera Tori. "It is a thing of beauty and a forever." The sub-station postoffice that the Raleish uostmaster has provided for the acconJodation of the legislature the past several sessions will be set up again in the west wing corrider between the two legislative halls, and will be adequately manned dur ing the session for the convenience of the members. In the language of former Senator Bassett. of Nash, this has come to be an "urgent ne cessity." The Legislature will lose little time, in getting: started. The election of Representative Edgar W. Pherr. of Mecklenburg, to the speakership seems to be a foregone conclusion a-id he will doubtless announce the House conimitttees immediately after taking the chair. The Lieutenant Governor. who is President of the Senate, h?.s stated that he will be ready with his committees on the very first day of the session. Frank P. Hackett, of Wilkes, and Alex Las si fer. of Bertie, will be continued as *vincinal clerks of the Senate and House respectively, no opposition having developed to either of them. The Stcte Constitution provides that the General Assembly shalj convene in biennial session on Wednesday after the first Monday in January, which, this year, falls on the 7th day of the month. The inaugural ceremonies of Governor-Elect A. W. McLean will be directed by a committee of the House and Senate and local 'organizations. The Raleigh Chamber of Commerce has selected the following committee to co-onerate with the legislative committee in this auspicious event: General Albert" L. Cox, chairman; former Judge J. Crawford Biggs, Dr. F C. Brooks, president of State Col lege; Mrs. Josephus Daniels, Paul B. Hulfish. Frank H. Jeter, and Robeit F. Phillips. The usual custom on such occa sions will be followed. Mr. McLean will be met bv these committees at the station on the morning of the ^ inaugural and escorted to the Gov- j ernor's Mansion, where he will be received by the outgoing executive, who will accompany him to the city auditorium in which the ceremonies are ti ETAOSHR DSHR ceremonies are to be held, including the installation of the newly elected state officers. Following this event will be a luncheon at the Mansion, and later a reception to which the public will be invited. The plans also include an inaugural ball to be he in thfci auditorium.

Be*t^ wishes, J The whole community was shocked | on Monday afternoon to learn of the , very serious accident which befell Mr. Joe Clayton, Sr., by the ex i plosion of a stick of dynamite in his hands. Mr. Clayton and his fourteen-year old son and Mr. Jim Neely were all fishinjr on the French Broad River, at a point about a quarter of a mile from the Everett Farm and about two miles from Brevard. Mr. Clayton left 1 his two companions iri the boat and went ashore, with the intention of doing some dynamiting. He held the dynamite in his hands, and after lighting the fuse waited in order to ' be sure his companions were at a safe distance. In the meantime, the dynamite exploded, with the result that both hands were completely blown off just above the wrists; both eyes were left in a serious condition, and he was badly burned about the j face. The young son and Mr. Neely I rushed to the scene, and after ad- j ministering first aid as best they j could by tying the bleeding stumps of the wounded man's arms with ; handkerchiefs and a cord, which the 1 boy happened to have in his pocket, ! the son then hurried to the Everett Farm for further assistance. lie found a man there who went immedi ately in his car to the rescue. Mr. ; Clayton was then assisted in the car , and rushed to the Brevard Hospital. > It was at first thought that Mr. | Clayton would lose the sight of both eyes. An eye specialist from Ashe ville was called in, and he feared on , first examination that one eye was completely gone. Further investiga tion, however, showed more encour- 1 agement, and stronger hopes are new j held for the recovery of his eyesight, j Mr. Clayton and family have the ; sympathy of the entire community. ANNUAL MEETING OF COUNTY AGENTS BEING HELD AT RALEIGH Mr. L. A. Amnion left Monday for Raleigh where he went to attend the annual meeting of the County ! Agents of the State! The meeting opened Tuesday, and will continue for 10 days. There will be 74 county agents in attendance along with farm experts of the State Department of Agriculture and sev eral prominent agriculture men from the National Department. N. C. FORESTRY ASSOCIAT!ON TO MEET IN RALEIGH A special meeting of the North Carolina Forertrv Association will be held in Raleigh on January 28*'1. it has been announced by John L. Cobbs, Jr., secretary of the associa tion... The purpose of the meeting is to bring home to the people of North Carolina, and especially to members of the Legislature, the need for j 1 takning immediate steps to improve 'and extend protection against forest ' fires in the state to increase the ; amount of timber grown in North Carolina forests, and to outline and : urge the adoption of an adequate j forest policy for our state. The use ; of cut-over lands, taxation of tim : ber lands and the importance of I growing supplies of timber for j North Carolina industries are among the subjects listed for discussion. A i number of nationally known lead i ers in forestry are expected to be present. North Carolina already has to im | port from other states about one | and one-half billion board feet per annum, or thirty-three and one-third per cent of all the timber it uses. As the forests of the state are cut ; out, the amount that must be im I ported will increase and will have to be I from points so far dis tan. li.,.. Ihv industries dependent up- i wood will be placed under a se vt handic i.p and many will be fo. w-;' ^ .. . e out of the state *o ;tcw locauc.._ .icarer to their timber supply. The cut-over lands have not vCc.. settled as rapidly as the timber iK.-i been removed, and there are now :n North Carolina millions of acrei of land that are producing no revenue and which are a burden on the small area of improved farm lands and : other improved property. Adequate protection against for-' est fires must* be produced. Once | iiis is done, nature will re-forest most of the cut-over lands; but un less fires arc kept out of the woods, it is useless to try to grow limbtr. i i * * * * * * * * ? * * * * <: * * * NOTICE * * TO CORRESPONDENTS * * * * * * * * * * # * * * ? ? * ? * | It is very necessary that all j correspondents have their letters in the News office by Tuesday night.

BIG THINGS IN VIEW FOR BREVARD BOY SCOUT WORK The new era prophesied for the Boy Scout work in Brevard is al ready upon us; it has already far ex ceeded expectations. Through the untiring efforts of Messrs. I). (J. Ward and H. A. Plummer and the g: ne: - ity of a host of Brevard citizens ? .$(>00.00 asked as Brevard's share of the expenses of a Scout executive ha.; been subscribed. Mr. A. II. Stewart, Jr. of Macon, Ga., has been secured as executive, a local council has beevi organized, a Scout commissioner Mr. R. H. Morrow, elected and a name for the local district chos;n. The local council is to bear the na-n "Toxaway." Plans are under way for the organization of three or four troops in Brevard and one at Pisgah Forest. It is rather singular that the daw.i of the new era is ushered in with the removal from the community o:' the two men who have been most largely identified with Brevard's scout work in the past: Rev. John R. Ilay and Rev. J. C. Seagle. 01' the old c.rele of lenders only Mr. J. A. Miller is left. But the future is bright with promise because the executive knows his business thoroughly and he has behind him a band of Brevard's ablest and best citizens. The main task will be first to secure and train scout masters, and assistant scoutmasers who have the character, ability, aiiu devotion necessary. Then all the boys of scout age in the community should be encouraged by their par ents and others to become scoutj. Ihis article is intended to challenge the interest of all in the community \\ ho hav'e boys or who love boys and tiieir community, and to stimulate them to a study of the program and accomplishments of the Boy Scout organization. Ask somebody who knows. GOOD JUDGEMENT To show how one of" the largest corporations in the world has been able to build up and maintain it., tremendous business, is well illus trated right in Brevard. S. M. Maclie has been appointed agent for the Delco Light Company oi Dayton, 0., which is a branch of the General Motors Corporation. Mr. Macfie has installed not only the Delco lighting plant, but also a Frigidaire electric ice cream ma chine in his drug store and the Gen eral Motors people proposed to him j that he select some capable young man and send on to their factory so as to learn -how the Delco machine and Frigidaire machine are built and operated. Mr. Macfie sent young Nathan Townsend out to Dayton, and the General Motors people pay him good wages while learning the business, so tuat the people of Tran sylvania County and Brevard will feel safe in buying these machines, as there will be a man here who is sufficiently competent to install and look after them. This shows one reason why tin General Motors Company has built up its business and ..lso it:; reputa tion as giving service. PRESIDENT WILL ACTIVELY AID IN WAR ON LIQUORS BY H. E. C. BR\^NT Washington, Jan. V. JRohibition enforcement is to be tightened up a ittlc all along the line by President Coolidge s administration.

Thj an. -<'"lc cn league a ad similar dry organisation:: has the president's ear, and trouble L brewing for "wet" o" ficers of the government. The "wet" and ''dry" issue is en tering into every contest . here for federal judgeships, United States at torneys, and internal revenue collec tors. Protests are rtiade if a candi- ( date has ever shown rigns of damp ? ness. THE PRAYER CORNER LOOKJ^IG FORWARD The New Year must always have "A Foiward Look." The year left bo hind has had with inveritably a great many disappointments, wor ries, burdens and troubles for some of us. To carry them on ones spirit into the new year is a crippling mis take. The door of December Mist should swing to on them once for all. Not that there are 110 continuing burdens that cannot be aid down. If these belong to the new year its days will bring strength for them. But what the new year cannot cheer fully carry is the added and alien load of what ought to be left be hind, "If I had only done differ ently!" there is THE BACKWARD LOOK that ought not to be taken. On the closing door of the old year the motto should stand boldly: Things without remedy should be without regard, Wn.it's done is done." Nor is it necessary, in this ever changing, ever-renewing world to ac cept helplessly and for always the first results of a mistake. It was a wise woman who said, when a cer tain Eliza was commiserated because she had made her bed, Jind must lie on it: "Nonsense! Why can't Kiza get up and make he bed over again ? and make it right?" Why not indeed? There is no need that any one should be tossing on ;::e prickly worries, the sharp frets, and Uriels and errors of 15)24, as long as 11125 is ready to be made a different kind of thing. "Up, therefore: ? f orward ? and Courage." A PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR O Cod, whose days are without be ginning and without end, we dedi cate this year to Thee. Help us to leave behind us whatever disap pointments, worries, burdens and troubles have come to us in the past year. Let us not carry them with .is into the new year, upon which we. have now entered. Let there be .10 backward look. On the closing door of the old year may the motto stand bodly out: "Things without remedy should be ? without regard, What's done, is done." Whatever the prickly worries. he sharp frets and griefs and errors of 11)2-1, the year 11)25 is ready i<? .jc ? made a different kind of thing. Lei us up. therefore ? go forward arid have courage, knowing thy presence O Lord, will go with us. As Dr. Van JJyke says: "Let us live our life from year io year With forward face and unreiuctaat soul, Not hastening to nor turning from the goal, Nor mourning for the things ihat disappear In the dim past, nor holding ba.-k in fear From what the future veils, but with whole And happy heart, that pays its toil To Truth and Age, and travels on with cheer. So let the way wind up the hill or down, Through rough or - smooth, the Journey will be Joy, New friendships, high adventure and a crown, Because the roads last turn will be the be.- 1." And this we ask for Jesus' ? Amen. C. D.
