Like drinking from a muddy stream, they’re running many chances— maybe puncturing the power in their old gas-buggy—cutting its pull on the hills—filling it up with wheezes. “When you buy, it’s best to know first what^ou are getting—that its makers are reliable. ’Standard’ Gasoline—a result of fifty-six years’ refining experience is always de pendable. And you don’t have to drive around very far for it—it’s obtainable everywhere.” THE TONGUE (Sermon by D. P. Waters, Pa-tor of Shelby Circuit.) "But, the tongue can no man tame.’*—James 3:8. Philosophers have striven to dis cover what faculty most clearly separates man from the brute. They have found that man is th( only animal that cooks, walks up right , and laughs. i .Most thinkers, however, are of the opinion that the power of speech, with all that has grown out of it, is the clearest and most im portant distinction of mankind, and the surest indication of the superiority that God has conferred on the race. By examining tongue of a pat ient, the physician finds the dis ease of the body, and the philoso pher finds the disease of the mind. The tongue is, at the same time, the best and worst part of man. Xanthus. the heathen philosopher, expecting distinguished company, ordered his servant Esop to pro vide the best thing for dinner the market could supply. He purchased torgue. Next day he ordered him to get the wmrst thing the market could suoply. He got tongue. On being asked what he meant said: “I have the worst: In man’s ex istence tongue is the worst as well as best.” 1. Speech is a test of character. “Jjlpeuk that I may see thee” said Socrates. "Thy speech betrayeth thee.” was said to Peter. When you hear a man taking God’s name in vain, telling smutty jokes and using other vile and obscene lan guage you may find who his atli 'T is by reading John 8:44. 2. Guiding power of the tongue. The rudder or hi'm turns the shin in its course. James, with his ex perience on the sea of Galliiee, muy not have seen such ships as we have today, or even those of Paul’s day when sailing to Home, but they are guided by a still smal ler helm. The tongue includes the pen. Take the great orations: Demosthenes on the crown, Cicero against Cataline, Webster’s reply to Haynes, Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg, and the Jews saying, “Crucify Him." These all show the power of the tongue in the lives and characters of men and na tions. X Destructive power of the longue. “How great a matter a little fire kindleth.” A fire-cracker carelessly used on the Fourth of July burned the city of Portland. A lamp turned over burned the city of Chicago. The Indians in the West set the dry grass afire,' and the flames are fanned by the wind until it circles far ami wide. Un ruly tongues set whole communi ties to burn and flame with ev:! C.owper said, “Whoever keeps an open ear for tattlers will be sure to hear the trumpet of contention The practice of tale-bearing is dis - graceful. It is said of Domitian, a Romnn etnbperor, that he spent his leisure hours in catching and tor menting flies. This shows how cruel and mean he was. But how much better is one who is employ ed in catching up and exposing every dirty little rumor that buzz through the neighborhood ? No doubt there are people in tor rhent today who might have been | in heaven if titey had not had 1 tongues. They are tongue damned The religion of Jesus Christ is ; the only thing in this world thac ear. control the tongue, and make it a power for good. Woman! What shall we say j about her? She is the capstone of j creation, and the balance wheel of; the universe! Her burdens are the heaviest, her duties are the most ! monotonous, her constitution is the! weakest. She needs all the love j and sympathy her loved ones can give her. But she has a tongue! A preacher visited a home where j the father had died. “What were ' your father's last words”, he ask-i ed a little boy. “He had none” said the little boy, “Ma always has the last word.” 4. Every tongue shall confess to God. Lord have mercy’ I hear the angel say time shall be no more, the clouds are rolling together like a scroll, graves begin to open, multitudes are screaming, the,f look up and down, but no way of escape for a single soul. Then we shall confess with our tongues that we are not as good as we thought we were, that we did not honor God ns we should, that we wer<’ too stingy to help support the church, thut we grumbled too much and did too little, that we danced when we ought to have been pray ing, that we spent many Sabbaths in ungodly ways, and that we stood in the way of others coming to Christ. “Take my tongue, and let it be Consecrated, Lord, t/> thee.” *♦♦*•**•!•*•>**+**<>•*•!•♦*****♦ KITCHEN ^ CUPBOARD By NELLIE MAXWELL Aids for the Housewife AI.1TTI.K meat with dumplings and the combination of vege tables makes a meal sufficiently hearty for the ordinary appetite. Ground caraway seed Is nice for a spice cake, making a new variety of lluvor. A few nuts coarsely chopped added to cookies make them unite fancy cakes. A teaspoonful of dry SHlphur mixed in hot milk Is good for a sore throat. If grease Is spilled on the kitchen floor, dash on cold water and It will harden nnd prevent it front soaking into the floor. Much of it may he scraped oft with a knife. Brooms should he hung when not in use nnd turned often when us ing and they will keep from spread ing. A pinch of salt added to whites of eggs will cause them to whip up lighter. A little soda rubbed into spots of grease will aid In cleaning when ! scrubbing the floor. A supply of soft tissue or paper 1 towels Is economical to use for wiping out greasy dishes before washing and for wiping the hands. A tenspoonful of turpentine add ed to the boiler of clothes will whiten them. OH of lavender is good to put Into bookcases to keep books from molding, if the cases are closed for any length of time. A little sand put Into the bottom of vases will keep them from tip ping when tilled with flowers. Boiled flaxseed strained and sweetened with lemon Juice added Is good for a cough. Rub a little lard or sc.“i on the side of the drnwer that sticks. Vse lemon Juice on mildew stains. Mildew is a plant nnd must be killed to stop Its growth. When lighting the gas strike the match before turning on the gas, then turn It slowly; If turned on full force It causes an explosion which makes the latter jump and this increases tlie hill. When cook ing always turn oft the gas before removing a dish; this saves many a cubic foot of gas. (JO, 1026. Wextern Newtpanw Union.) Lose your job as a caddy ? said one boy. Yep, replied the other.

My work was a great burden to me. I just hated to do up the dishes, even. I waa no-account and extremely nervous. "My mother had taken Cardui and she thought it would do me good, so she told me to take it. My husband got me a bottle and I began on it. I began to improve at once. It was such a help that I continued it until after the baby’s birth. "I took eight bottles and I can certainly say that it helped me. It is a fine tonic. It built me up and seemed to strengthen me. I grew less nervous and began to sleep better. "I can certainly recommend Cardui to expectant mothers, for to me it was a wonderful help. ...

NC-162 They Have Direct Com petition Over Three Thousand Miles In State. Rys. Curtail Raleigh Times. Seventy-two per cent, or 3,269 | miles of the bus line mileage in ] North Carolina is parallel to the j tracks of railroads, and in direct competition with the railroads as far as short haul passenger ser vice is involved, according to a brief, filed by R. O. Self, director of motor vehicle transportation for North Carolina, at the Inter state Commerce Commission motor bus inuuiry at Asheville. Of this mileage 1,174 miles parallel the Southern Railway and associated lines; 640 miles parallel the Seaboard Air Line; 512 miles parallel the Atlantic Coast Line; 564 miles parallel the Norfolk Southern; and 370 miles parallel miscellaneous short lines. The average length of the motor bus line in North Carolina is 46.75 miles and as a result of this short haul competition there have been numerous curtailments of service by the railroads allowed bv the State Corporation eommi sion. According to Mr. Self on August 14 there were 456 motor bu.se>1 operating over 4,500 miles of State highways. Self’s Brief “We have made passer,eer traf fic studies in order to determine the public convenience and neces snrv for certain schedules on par ticular roads.” says the brief. “One study of a seven-day neriod on a nii.ety- mile run showed 6.115 passengers carried, of which only 234 were through passengers and 5.881 were local. Miles operated during period of study were 9800 and overage fare per passenger was less than fortv cents. “The passenger bus miles trav eled hv all operators, year ended June 30. 1926, estimated from the records in this office were 11,350, 040. The total revenue from pas senger operations for the same period was $2,370,800, the tax paid on six per cent basis being $142,250. From these figures, it appears that the average bus mile revenue 20.9 cents. Statistics on Revenue “We have obtained statistics from only the operators who keep records in a manner that the op erating cost can be obtained. They operate on 1,775 miles of highwav, or 38.7 per cent of the State high wav mileage under bus operation and operate 63.9 per cent of the total daily bus mileage. These ten operate forty ner cent of the total seating capacity and had an average operating cost of 20.25 cents per bus mile. In this con nection it may be stated that the average bus mile revenue for the ten operators is somewhat higher than the average for the state. “On August 14, 1926, seventeen express or freight certificates were outstanding and under these there were being operated 83 trucks on 1,756 miles of road. Of these operations, 945 miles paral le the Southern Railway and as sociated lines; 214 miles parallel the Seaboard Air Line; 242 miles parallel the Atlantic Coast Line; 245 miles parallel the Norfolk Southern and 50 miles parallel miscellaneous lines, making total of 1,696 miles paralleling rail lines or operatic®! between points com mon to both. Freight by Motor “In this connection I may state that we have 33,661 trucks oper ating within the State transport ing property either for their own ers or under private contract; and under our law there is nothing to prevent these from exercising every privilege of a property car rier under the bus law, except that of advertising regular schedules and publishing tariffs. One prop erty carrier handled 2,842 tons over a twelve month period July 1, 1926 to June 30, 1926. The av erage haul was forty-five miles. Another property earlier handled between January 1 and June 9. 1926, 2,398 tons of freight and ex press. The average haul of this tonnage did not exceed 56 miles; the longest haul was 123 miles. From a rough estimate, it appears that the tonnage carried by trucks operating under the law did not exceed 15,000 tons. Each carrier transports less than hundred weight packages at package ■ rates, which is not included in the above tonnage. The total revenue of such carriers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1926. was $122, 568.97. Because of the package re venue being included in this amount, the average revenue per ton cannot be estimated. The six per cent tax from such companies was $7,363.14.

For a centerpiece a luscious bas ket of fruit garnished with its own leaves when possible, is an ornu- j ment to any table. When fresh fruit is not available, mold a few preserved berries in orange, lemon or pineapple gelatin. Serve the quivering mounds with whipped cream and a few of the berries. Halves of muskmelons tilled witli ice cream and garnished with small pieces of candied or preserved gin ger to simulate seeds, are both pretty and palatable. Muskmelon or watermelon, cut w'itii a French potato cutter into balls, filling sherbet or cocktail glasses witli same, and adding a sauce of ictuon or ginger sirup makes a most delicious first course for the beginniug of a dinner. Grated npple, added to egg white nnd powdered sugar and beaten un til stllT, then served surroi'jsded with a thin custard, Is a most ac ceptable dessert. Stewed pears cored and th! cavi ties filled with jelly and * rvrd j with whipped cream. Is a tidier dish worthy of trial.

Serve witli fresh sliced peaches. For those who cannot eat un cooked fruit try this: Stew apples or pears (coring them first), in n lemon or sugar sirup until tender, then decorate witli quartered blanched almonds, sticking the ten der fruit quite full of the nuts, so that the apples look like young porcupines.
