EAGLE- BURNSVILI-E. N. C. Why I» Two-Dollar Bill Known as Jinx? The fact that the corners of the ■cw two-dollar bill are being torn to avert bad luck apparently just u often us was the case with the old two-dollar bill sets the New York World to wondering whut could have been the origin of this belief in the two-dollar bill’s bad luck: “For a long time we acceptel the common eiplanatlon that a two-dol- lar bill Is So easily mistaken for a «ne-dollar bill that It may be paid out as such, but after careful exam ination of the various bills we con clude that this explanation Is a lit tle weak. “In general appearance. It is true that a two-dollar hill does bear some resemblance to a one-dollur bill, but no more than Is borne by a tlve-dol- lar bill or a ten-doltnr hill. “All of our smaller bills, in fact, bear a close re.setiiblance to each other. In color and design; every citizen must long ago have got into the habit of reading the numbers on the bills that he spends, and the chance of his handing a taxi man two dollars for one dollar Is very remote. It is one of those things that Is supposed to happen but rare ly does. “Then why the aui)erstltlon? “It must have an origin, and we slionld like somebody to tell us where." Machinery in British Cotton Mill Made Junk I,ow Moor, a village near Clith- croe, which was sold piecemeal, re cently saw disappear its last hope of renewed i)nispi*rUy. the machin ery in the village mill, which for merly employed a total adult popu lation of TOO, being sold In small lots to brokers at scrap metal prices. The mill, established UK) years ago, anil run ever since by the liir- nelt family, was the llrst In I.ancn- shire to introduce power loom.s, and cavalry defended It against the mob of 18’,KI. Trade depression resulted in the mill closing nearly three years ago. One hundred and twent.v-elglit looms, costing $1111) each, sold for $7; C4fl looms, which today would eacli cost $!)(), were knocked down for m.HT), and TilH), which, when ]-unning. were worth .$80 ai)leco, sold for $2.7.'. Ilrokers have seldom known looms to sell so cheaply.—London Time THE LAXATIVE WITH HIGHEST ENDORSEMENT When you get up headachy, slug gish, weak, half-sick, here's how to feel yourself again in a jiffy. Take a little Phillips' Milk of Mag nesia In a glass of water—or lem onade. Taken In lemonade, Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia acts like citrate of magnesia. A.s a mild, safe, pleasant laxative, Phillips’ Milk of Magnesia has the hlglmst medical endorsement. As an ontl-acld to correct sour etomnoh, gas, Indigestion, hillou.sness. It has been standard with doctors for 50 years. Quick relief in digestive and eliminative troubles of men, women, ^lldren—and babies. Combine Billi&rd* and Golf “Snooker golf’ la the name of the latest variation of the mlnlalui course game, and It combines some of tUo features of both billiards and golf. The ronrse is laid out like tlie col reiitlomil bllllurd fable, with coiicret edges on the lawn corre.sponding i the cdgc.s of the table, and the usni number of iiockets or lioles aboni the Rides. Sixteen bulls are used, being rucked In a triangle and broken in the Sturt of piny, as In pool. The cue la the putter iiiid the cm* ball is an ortlinary golf bull.—Popular Meclriu- ‘cs Magazine. Her Reward When children are weak and run down, they are easy prey to colds or children’s diseases. So It Is never wise to neglect those weaken ing and depressing symptoms o£ bad breath, coated tongue, frptful- ness, feverishness, biliousness, lack of energy and appetite, etc. Nine times out of ten these things point to one trouble—constipation— and mothers by thousands know this Is easily, safely relieved by California Fig Syrup. Mrs. Chas. J. Connell, 1434 Cleary Ave., St. Louis, Mo., says: ‘T gava Virginia California Fig Syrup for constipation and she was more than rewarded for taking It. It regulated her bowels, helped her digestion. Increased her appetite, made her strong and energetic.” The genuine, endorsed by doctors for 50 years, always bears the word California.

Two or three tablets of Bayer Aspirin will break up a cokT in a jiffy! Take them promptly. Bayer Aspirin will check your cold at any stage, but why wait until you are miserable? These tablets are perfectly harmless because they don't depress the heart. If your throat feels sore, crush three mote tablets in a little water and gargle. This will ease your throat instantly and reduce any infection. A cold needn't worry you when you take these simple precautions. But the simplest cold is serious when you don’t. Remember that, and remember to get the gen uine tablets stamped Ba>'er. Read the pro\-en directions for headaches, neuralgia, neuritis, sciatica; and for the prompt, positive relief of periodic pain.

DISHES FOR CHILDREN Every mother knows how hard It Is to force children to eat the food they should eaL The only way to accomplish this Is to begin with the baby. Food and feeding time will be a happy time If habits of correct eating are formed early. The child who has bad vvn way in all things is going to make a difflcnlt adult to live with or for other people to enjoy being with. It takes but little patience to train a baby, but often it Is difficult when the child has become willful. All foods given children should be simple, well cooked, easy to digest and attractively served. Tasting the food before being served is an impor tant duty for the mother or nurse, to he sure it Ls palatable, for often dis likes have bees farmed that are hard to overcome by one dish of poor food. The following are a few breakfast suggestions: Orange Honey Crispy.—Peel an orange and separate into sections, re moving the membrane. Allow six to eight sections for each serving. Dip each section Into honey and turn over In rice or corn flakes, puffed wheat or any of the light cereals which have been warmed until crisp In the oven. Arrange on an attractive plate and serve. Maple sirup may be used in place of honey for variety, Breakfast Cocktail.—One beaten egg yolk, a pinch of .salt, a teaspoonful of honey and the juice of two oranges. Beat well and serve cold. Tills sup plies Iron from the egg yolk and vita mins from the orange juice. This Is a giod drink to give as a mid-meal. AJI the above recipes are equally good for the nursing mother who needs to take as much liquid as pos sible. For a child of six years the addi tion of the Juice of half a lemon to a glass of orange juice Is recommended to give Incren.sed vitamin C and to prevent and cure tooth troubles. Frosted Orange Juice.—Into a large glass pour a cupful of orange Juice. Add a spoonful of vanilla ice cream and stir a moment, then serve. Scientists Find Many Metals in Human Body Such figurative expressions as "a heart of gold." “the Iron fist," and "with leaden feet” are recalled by the recent Investigation of two French (■hemlst.s.

In the lungs; ‘’obnit, nickel, lead and silver In the pancreas; copper, lead and silver In the liver; aluminum, sliver and copper in the kidneys and the bear-by ad renal glands, and silver, tin and cop- t'or In the spleen. The brain appeared to be rich in tin, and this .metal was also found in the th.vrold gland, In the neck, which also contained sliver, copper, lead and zinc. Afraid of Life "You're not afraid of life, are yon?" slie asks him, and Finch is startled In to truth. "Ves, I am. I'm awfully afraid of it." She reared her head from the pil- !osv. "Afraid of life.

The woman came home Sunday to find the grass out of hound.s, every window shade awry, and ashes, cig arette stubs, newspaper.? and what not scattered everywhere. But great er than her dismay at the disorder was the shock slie received at friend husband’s attitude toward her dis pleasure at the state of affairs.
