I WAS eighteen, I believe, when I
saw my first play. I had always
wanted to see a play, but money was
scarce at onr house, the village was
small, and plays-rarely came to town.
It was In the fall I remember, a chilly
moonlight night In early November,
and I wore no overcoat The reason
of the absence df the topcoat was ade-.
quate; the only coat 1 owned was not
in good repair. The sleeves were short,
the cults were worn, the garment was
tight and unbecoming: and I could not
afford a new one until we sold the
corn.
I was happy as we drove along In
my buggy even though the wind occa
sionally struck a chill through me.
The play was "The Oetaroon" and
was given In the hnll over Hicks' ele
vator, this beins the only availnble
place in town. The stage was o little
cramped. Tlie curtains were thin unci
Inadequate; the seats were all on one
level, and did not afford a perfect
view of the stage ; the stage was dimly
lighted Jty a few straggling kerosene
lamps, and the scenery was as simple
as that employed by the Ben Greer
players in an open-air performance,
but the play was the thing!
I had never supposed that anything
could be so wonderful; It held m'i
speechless from the first Perhaps the
actors were commonplace, tbut : they
did not seem so to me. Maybe they
halted in their lines, but if so I did
not know it. To cse the action was
perfect, the suspense grlpntog, the cli
maxes thrilling with surprise.'
Since that notable night I have seen
other actors "e In more pretentious

All contagious or "catching"
diseases are caused by microbes,
"bugs" and all diseases caused by
microbes are in one manner or anoth
3r, contagious.
Some are much more contagious
than others. Measles, for instance
is easily transmitted to the suscep-
ble child. On the other hand "boils"
are not usually considered catching,
but if the pus from a boil which con
tains the infecting organism, is trans
ferred to another person or to anoth
er place on the same person and gets
into the skin it will cause a boil, hence
in this sense and to' this degree even
boils are catching.
Microbes are so small that they can
only be seen by using the microscope,
hence the name "microbe," which on
ly means a living plant or animal
which is so small that it cannot be
seen by the unaided eye.
Before microbes were discovered
only a few short years ago people
of course knew nothing about them
and hence they imagined nil sorts of
absurd things to be the cause of the
disease which I the microbes caused.
These superstitions have been handed
down from past generations and
even now are held by many persons
as a firm behalf.
Taking advantage of these super
stitions, unscrupulous persons have
sometimes humbugged the people,
Others, in ignorance, have with hon
est intentions taught things about
sickness and disease that has been
useless and often worse than useless.
Whatever our advantages and as
sets may be they are worth little
without health. Money can buy man-
y tilings but it cannot always buy
health. It may buy the best medical
attention in the whole world but doc
tors are sometimes helpless in the
face of diseiase. A knowledge Of
facts regarding- the cause of disease
and the application of this knowledge
to our lives will do more to prevent
disease and promote health than all
the doctors and drugs combined.
The people of North Carolina are
hiring workers in the public health
organizations to find out these facts
and guard the people against bugs
and humbugs.

Neglected coughs often lead to worse
trouble. Yet there is a simple method
based on the famous Dr. King's New
Discovery, which usually breaks the
worst cough entirely in 24 hours.
Here is the method: You take just
one teaspoonful and hold it in your
throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swal
lowing it. It has a double action,. It
not only soothes and heals irritation,
but also removes the phlegm and con
gestion which are the real cause of the
coughing. So the moat stubborn cough
soon disappears completely.
Dr. King's New Discovery is for
courIis, chest colds, bronchitis, spas
modic croup, etc. Fine for children,
too no harmful drugs. Veryeconomi
cal, as the dose is only one teaspoonfuL
At all good druggists. Ask for
cerning any good religious subject.
As has already been said, we can't do
too much for our Lord and Master.
He tells us in his Word that if we love
Him we will keep His commandments.
