Oaa MaaUi ..11.56 . .75 .. .50 .IS j; y FRIDAY. FEB. 22, 1907. The Gazette heartily endorses the action of the town council ; in declining to permit a street . carnival company to come to Gastonia. No donbt the agent - of the company was sincere in ' his statement that the shows are clean and decent but we never saw an advance agent of any carnival who would admit any leas for his . company. Our ob servation has been and we have seen several o f these street carnivals that they do more harm to a town than good. They demoralize young people and grownups alike. Aside from the moral aspect and considering the proposition merely from a financial standpoint the lowest viewpoint they carry away hundreds- and thousands of dollars from tbe small towns which would other wis go to the local merchants and home enter prises. Again we take off our hats to the council for its action on this matter. ., Titers are a few plain facts about bow .ujd wba to cat which It wouU be worth a man's while to keep la mind even when well , If yon tire In a hurry, eat ligbtl. There Is a virtue la rulplur down large meal Just be cause It la mealtime. While the utliul la actively eufaped In the details aud responsibilities of business tbe dltfea Uto apparatus In In da condition to undertake beery work. The blood sup ply It drained off elsewhere, tlrlnf U tbe contribution It can to the brain. and If a quantity of food be taken In It simply remains undigested In the stomach. Worry, unsettled mind, low spirits, all tend to delay or to atop tbe activities of the. alimentary canal. Students who go at bard head work Immediately after meals often suffer from Indigestion. So do letter carriers' and other people whose meals are followed by prolonged physical ex ertion. Indeed, any kind of effort which forces the blood flow away from tbe alimentary region Is Injurious after hearty eating. Dr. Gulick In World's Work. laaMaa Mrdlrlae Baa-a. The medicine bags of Xavnjoes. Zu- nla and Apaches, all kludred tribes, contain s curious powder known as corn pollen or hoddentlu. This pow der, which la the pollen of a rush and also of malae, appears to be used as s medicine, belug eaten by the alck and put on the head or other parts to ease pain, but principally as a sacred offering to the sun and moon aud as a sanctifler of everything. A pinch of It Is thrown toward tbe sun and tbeu to ward the four winds for help In war or the chase, la put on the trail of a snake to prevent harm from It. placed on the tongue of tbe tired hunter as a restorative, hung In bags round tbe necks of Infants as a preservative and sprinkled on the dead. In fact, every action of these Indians ts sanctified by this powder, so that, as Captain Bourke writes In tbe ninth volume of "The Report of the Bureau of Eth nology" (Smithsonian), "plenty of hoddentin has come to mean that a particular performance or place Is sacred." ; SOCIAL. The Tuesday Afternoon Club met Tuesday at, 3: 30 p. in. with Mrs. Frost Torreoce at her home on .York street. This was the regular meeting of tbe club and. in addition to the club tnembersv there were about 25 guests present. Trail was tbe popular game ' for the afternoon." This game was played at nine differ ent tables, the score cards being in tbe shape of "little cherry tree hatchets." No prizes were given. .Refreshments were served and the guests all voted the occasion a most pleasant one. Tbe home of Mr and Mrs. B W Boyd, on Highland avenue, was thrown open last night to a large crowd of young people, the event being an at home given in honor of Miss Mamie DeVioey, of Yorkville, by Miss Irene Lough ridge. Eotertaining and interesting games, interspersed with courses of delicious refresh' ments, made tbe evening a very delightful affair to all present. Among those who shared the pleasures of the evening were: Misses Mamie DeViney, Re becca Wilson, Kate Lineberger, Margaret Glenn, Bessie Johnson, Eliza Lindsav, Margaret White sides, Feme Tbomasson, Grace Gray, Kerdelia Armstrong, Ola Whitesidcs, Messrs. Flay Bess, Marvin Warlick, Gene Rawlins, Griffin Connell, Guy Killian, Chess Abernethy, John Tucker, Gray and Hooper. and of course I understand that.

A toothsome dish will those fairytales of the two English girls be for that class of North ern manufacturers who are working with might and main to keep the South from obtain ing anything like her quota of foreign immigrants. The girls two of the number who re cently figured so extensively at Charlotte, Gastonia and other points in this section made their way to Ipswich, Mass., and there related wonderful stories about a gigantic scheme on hand to import, through fraud, English working girls for Southern cotton rpills. They told of alleged conditions of servitude existing in this sec tion; of how the Lancaster and other cotton manufacturing districts of England had been invaded by agents of Southern "mills who had greatly . mis represented conditions here; of the luring to Southern ready of five hundred girls. No doubt the whom these fanciful EacUad'a Coast Llshta. The coastwise lights of England," of which Kipling sings, have been In creasing In brilliancy ns well as In number ever since tbe dawn of the nineteenth century. In that dark nge weary mariners crawled Into port by the flickering glare of twenty -five bea cons and six floating lights. Now tbey may glide safely Into haven under tlia powerful beams of 830. Lighthouses are ns ancient ns civilization. The Pharos of Alexander (lung Its light on the decks of oriental barges 2,237 years ago. The Romans, who loved tbe light, have left tbe ruins of one of their lighthouses on a cliff at rtou logne, while at Dover may still be seen all that remains of another. Pe troleum and tbe electric light have made the early nineteenth century bea eona ridiculous. On the summit of the tower an open grate was fed with bil lets of wood and later with coal. Scot land abandoned coal altogether for more up to date methods In lSia and England six years afterward. mills al- ol these men to and im probable statements were made felt real sorry for the poor, de luded creatures. Certain it is that these slanderous stories will be nsed by them for all tbey are worth and more too against the Southern manufacturers and to prevent, if possible, further importation of foreign labor to this section. We doubt, how ever, if the higher authorities would be much influenced by such reports. Metmalds mad Mermen. Nearly all nations bare folklore and fairy tale accounts of mermaids and sometimes of mermen. Even the Amer ican Indians bad their "woman fish" and "man fish." The Chinese tell sto ries about their sea women of the southern seas. Sometimes mermnlds and mermen are represented as leav ing the water and living with human beings, but more frequently they are pictured as being so attracUve that they sometimes will lure human beings to destruction In tbe depths of the sea. These myths have been utilized by many poets and bare even been used for stories "with a moral." St Nicholas. The beautiful home of Mr. G A. Gray, on South street and F;anklin avenue, was a scene of great enjoyment yester day afternoon and last night. In the afternoon from 4 to 6 the spacious halls, parlors and dining rooms were thrown open to more than one hundred guests by Mrs. Gray and Miss Ethel Gray. The decorations were varied and beautiful. Tbe sitting room was made exquisite ly beautiful in green and pink, with pink carnations, ivy and pink candles; tbe library was in red with red and white carna lions, while in the dining room tbe chandelier was laden with decorations of red roses. The guests were met at the front dut r by Miss Lowry Shuford and in the front ball by Mrs. I, L. Jenkins. The receiving line in tbe parlor was composed of Miss Ethel Gray, Mrs. G. W. Wilson, Miss Fannie Sater, Miss Tula Adams and Miss Laura Page; in the library were Mesdames G. A. Gray, J. L. Bryan and Mrs. W. F. Marshall. Punch was served by Mesdames T. L. Craig, J. M. Sloan and J. K. Dixon. In the dining room salads were served by Mrs. R. L. Swan, Mrs. E. L. Bain and Miss Delia Nolen. Mrs. D. A. Page presided in tbe back ball, while in the cream room were Mrs. S. A. Robinson, Misses Mildred Lineberger and Miss Lottie Blake,, Music was furnished during the happy hours by Miss Emma Page.

Adams Drug Co., the popular druggists, are making an offer that is just like rinding money for they are selling a regular 50 cent bottle of Dr. Howard's celebrated specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia at half-price. In addition to this large discount they agree to re turn the money to any pur chaser whom the specific does not cure. It is quite unusual to be able to buy fifty cent pieces for a quarter, but that is what this , offer really means, for it is only recently, through the solicita tion of Adams Drug Co that this medicine could be bought for less than fifty cents; iney urgea tne proprietors to al low them to sell it at this re duced price for a little while. agreeing to sell a certain amount. The result has justified their good judgment, tor the sale has been something remarkable. Anyone who suffers with head ache, dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach, specks before the eyes, or any liver trouble, should take advantage of this opportunity, for Dr. Howard's specific will cure all these troubles. But if by any chance- it should not, Adams Drug Co., will return your money.
