Copeland’s HEALTH TALK
£ Those Blackheads:

New York)

Health is regarded as a most precious possession,
that questions should be asked about what to do lor
the other. Hundreds of letters come to me every week
formation regarding various diseases.
It is natural

Everybody -recognizes mas impcrucuuns w
tire skin are mi evidence of impaired health. On
this account, and also because there is a certain
degree of embarrassment associated with the ap
pearance of skin troubles, many persons seek a
means of removal of these blemishes.
It seems to lie the history of youthful devel
opment that at certain time of life there shall be
pimple: and eruptions of the skin. It is too had
that this period coincides with that period when
boys and girls begin to lake an Interest in social
affairs.
Blackheads, red swollen spots, and hard lumps
that ne\cr come to a head, rum Uie complexion.
The chin and forehead are the parts of the face
likely to be involved. The shoulders nnd upper
pari of the chest are other places where the erup
tion may appear.
The general term applied to all such dip
luroanccs ei in? .'-.Kin is acnc. mne is louna wnerever uoys ana giris
*rr met. Beginning at the age of ten or twelve it goes on and on
for several years. It is rarely seen after the age of twenty-five.
I want to be frank about it: In my opinion one of the neglected
factors in the production of this
disease is a lack of cleanliness of
the skin.
Some skins are so made that they
are not readily infected. The fine
grained, small-poored skins arc pret
ty oily, and possesses large, open
pores, it is very liable to acne.
You can sec that unless a skin of
this sort Is scrubbed clean with soap
and water, it won't be long before
these big pores are filled with dirt,
Within a short time the pore has
become % breeding place of germs.
There will be pus formation, inflam
mation, redness of the skin and the
formation of an ugly pimple
Neglect of the diet is another fac
tor. Too many children are brought
up on candy and starches. They
eat excessive quantities of fat, nut
aundacs and hot biscuits. I need not

tell you that this is a mistake.
Please do not think 1 have any
objection to the foods just men
tioned, In their proper place ami in
reasonable quantities, they are quite
ail right. The trouble with young
people, however, is that if they in
dulge excessively in these things
they are likely to avoid fruits and
green vegetables, milk and coarse
bread.
The person inclined to have a bad
skim should drink quantities of
water. It is important to have the
wastes of the body carried away
promptly. An abundance ol fluids
will help to accomplish this. Activ
ity of the bowels and kidneys Is Im
portant.
Exercise in the oixui air is of vital
importance. Every activity that
causes the skin to perspire will make
for its good health.
Some other time I shall speak
more at length regarding the care
of the skin. Perhaps I have said
enough tooay to put you oh guard
against n few things which arc de
structive to its beauty.

Miss A School Day
In Just Seven Years
Lincoln ton.T. E. Sain, twehe
ycar-old son of Mr. and Mrs. M.

out missing a single day, and the
schools ha has attended were not
the usual six months schools, but
seven and eight months.
T. E. has seven certificates, four
of the seven certifying that lie is
"worthy of recognition for regu
lar and prompt attendance at the
public schools of Lincoln county.
He has two certificates of per
fect attendance and also a certif

ROLL WEEVIL EXPECTED
IN PIEDMONT SECTION
With the data regarding the
emergence of the boll weevil and Its
low winter mortality In hand, It
seems safe to predict that a com
jparattvely large number of weevils
i will emerge nnd niter the cotton

the beginning of the growing sea
son, says M. H. Brunson, extension
i entomologist. Mr. Brunson advises
farmers to be prepared for the ab
normal condition and thereby avoid
unnecessary losses from the attack
of the pest.
Cotton fields in the piedmont arc
ordinarily comparatively free from
j the boll weevil early in the growing
I season but Mr. Brunson explains
1 that such a condition probably w ill
| not be the ease this season, for the
! winter mortality of the weevils in
hibernation seems to be abnormally
low because of the mild winter just
pnst. A recent report Issued by the
bureau of entomology at Washing
ten bears out this statement to the
extent that the spring emergence
of weevils is exceptionally high thus
far.
COWS NEED SUCCULENT
FOOD FOR GOOD MILK
The amount and kind of milk
1 with which dairymen will be able
! to supply their customers next fall
largely depends on an adequate
| amount of succulent feed and
roughage of good qualitv for cows
during the late summer and fall.
Some farms will need to change
their system of cropping land The
hrea of crops in various ftelds
should be arranged so that more
green crops will be ready for pas
turing or for cutting and feeding
next fall.
Alfalfa hay Is the best to produce
milk. Good clover hay comes next
while grass hay Is of less value. Most
weeds have little or no feeding
value while some are poisonous and
some flavor the milk. Good hay Is
1 green in color. The green color is
lost when mold develops In the
field or In the hay mow. Hay should
not be cured in the shade to re
I tain Its bright leafy appearances
[for sunshine helps develop vita -
; nuns in the hay.

Ten Points For
The Educated Man
Literary Digest.
Am I Retting an education? We
have all asked ourselves that ques
tion at one time or another. Sher
wood Eddy uses it as the title of a
recently published symposium ( Dou
bledoy, Doran» on the methods,
purposes and results of American
colleges and universities, which are
now undergoing such searching
criticism. George A. Coe, veteran
educationist of Northwestern Uni
versity, Union Theological semin
ary, and recently retired from
Teachers college, is convinced that
a good education is education for
good living. "What, an absurdity it
would be to certify as well-educated
a youth who has never been so
cially awakened- wcll-cducatcd, yet
negligible as far as social wellbe
ing and social progress are concern
ed!" Mr. Eddy concludes his sym
posium on "Am I Getting an Edu
cation?" with Dr Coe's 'ten points.'
by which a truly educated men can
be detected. Originally published in
Dr. Coe's book entitled "What Ails
Our Youth" (Scribner's) these ten
points are worth reconsideration:
1 An educated man is one who is
trained to use the tools of human
intercourse with readiness, pre
cision. and accuracy. We mean, es
pecially. language and the rudi
ments of number.
•j. An educated own must have
sufficient knowledge of nature to
understand the main processes
upon which human life and happi
ness depend.
•1, An educated man knows
enough history to enable him to
the main achievements of man
4. An educated man is acquaint
ed with the major resources for in
tellectual end esthetic enjoyment.
He knows nature,, literature, music,
j arid the other arts sufficiently to
choose superior to inferior enjoy
i mints.
| 0. An educated man is marked by
[his interests as well as by his train
led abilities His attention is habi
tually attiacted by significant rath
er than trivial objects, events, pur
suits. and enjoyments.
7. An educated man must have
not only this general culture, but
| also training for a specific occupa
tion. Focalized activity that is di
rected toward some sort of efficiency
ihas to be included.
o An educated man must nave
toward his fellows the habitual at
titudes that are commanly called
ethical—such attitudes a honor and
honesty, helpfulness nnd good-wll!
and cooperation.
9. An educated man must have
I loyalties to at least some of the
['important organizations and insti
] tutions of society, such as one' fam
ily. one's country, one's church.
I 10. If there is an inclusive mean
ing in life, the sort of education
that I have been outlining should
include some apprehension of. and
feeling for, the divine; the ideally
educated man will reverence God,
and know how to worship.
To determine whether your edu
cation is still alive and growing,
rnd not a dead and finished thing.
Sherwood Eddy suggests answering
the following questions:
1. Am I learning to study and to
think?
2. Am I getting the knowledge
that I need most? Am I learning to
enjoy tilings that are most worth
| while? Am I acquiring esthetic ap
; predation of the significant values
of life?
| 3. Am I living in the real world
| or In a corner apart? Am I learn
ing to live, by living now ; by ac
quiring seme vital knowledge of the
| w-ild and Its real problems, by ac
j lua !y facing them and beginning to
i try to solve them now? Or am I
evading or postponing life, playing
about with its trifles in a thought
less and unreal academic world?
j 4. Am I progressing, standing still,
or going backward?

Mrs. Goodmen says her family was
very uneasy about her condition, as
sire seemed so weak and thin.
"I ached all over,” she explains,
"and my back and cldcs hurt most
of the time.
"I dragged around, and did not
sec a day of good health.
“I went to call on one of my
neighbors, and she remarked about
my looking so bad. She told me to
get a bottle of Cardui and take it.
Next Saturday night, my husband
brought it home to me.
"Before I had taken Cardui a
week. I was feeling much better. I
continued taking it for awhile, as
my health kept on improving.
"1 gained In weight, and soon wso
feeling like a new person. Since
then I have taken Cardui several
times, and It has always done mo

“Pearls’’ for feminine adornment
are produced in colors ranging
from pure white to reddish-brown
and in size from tiny gun shot to
almost tlie size of a pen. •
They may be found in loose or
sandy soil in a band around the
world as far north as Poland and as
far south as Chile. In the United
States they occur especially in
Georgia and Florida.
Scientists have been unable to
determine, however. how the
