If you desire a personal reply, enclose a stamped envolepo.e ad dressed back to you.l "Cleanliness Is next to Godliness'—I am not sure that Godliness is quite so easy to acquire as all that. Few people realize that a clean skin Is the finest evidence of a clean body. If your stomach Is disordered in its functions, if your teeth need fiK. UJI ULAW, attention, tr you are nervous, in tart it your sys tem does not function properly In every way, your skin signals the warning. There may be a roughness of the skin, pim ples. red spots, blotches or even blackheads These may appear without oth”r warning. They show that something is wrong Young people particularly are subject to skin eruptions. Many a young person has a fare peppered with blackheads. Indeed, the face looks exactly as if particles of black pepper had been sprinkled over r.n Inflamed and pimply surface. When pressed between the thumb nails, a mass like a black-headed worm can be squeezed out. of the skin. When left In place these black heads produce results not unlike the effects of foreign bodies in the tissues. Pretty soon the skin lesters. loiniing a red pimple. When the pimple breaks and the pus discharges the blackhead ! may escape. If it does not, the same process may be repeated and each time, the skin is involved more deeply. The deeper into the tissues the pus burrows the larger me scar. Sometimes the swelling is great, perhaps the size of a pea. When it finally breaks, and discharges, there is sure to be considerable scar when it heals. Even after the acute condition has disappeared entirely, permanent marks will be left. In what I have said about the causes, there have been plenty of hints as to the cure. Some of these suggestions I will emphasise. Make sure that your teeth are sound. This is important ad.ice for two reasons: In the first place, you need to have good teeth in order to chew your food properly. In the next place the pus front decayed or abscessed teeth may be a factor in causing acne. You will eat green vegetables, cooked or in salad, more than has been your custom. Fruit should be taken regularly. The blackheads must be removed. To do this, wash your face and hands thoroughly with an abun dance of soap and water. Boil a watch key or hairpin to make it sterile. Then press out the black head', being terv careful in the process. Don't remove too many at each sitting, but persist in the mat ter till they hair been taken out to the very last one. Plenty of soap and water used freely is the first essential to clean liness. Do not overlook 4ts value. By keeping the skin clean you will help to escape having blackheads. Answers To Health Queries.

The great deluge of Noah's time, as the Book of Genesis records it, actually occurred. At least there was a big flood at approximately that time and place in the world's history. This discovery was recently made by the joint archaeological expedi tion of the British Museum and University of Pennsylvania of which Prof. Leonard Woolev of Philadel phia is the director. Professor Woolev has not dis covered the ark but even that is j not outside the range ot possibili ties. Though unless imbedded in the earth it would not have been . preserved all these centuries. But articles used by ancient civiliza- I tions that precede the ark by many | years have been discovered by this I expedition. Evidence of the flood was found in the Euphrates valley of Meso potamia. It is a deep layer of wa ter-deposited clay under which the archaelogists have uncovered re- ! mains of an ancient people and civilization heretofore unknown. | The great difference between traces i left by this people and of later' civilisations above it indicate that a I whole race perished and that the j flood must have been a great castro-1 phe. However, Archaeologist Woolev | believes the flood was confined to the Eupratcs valley and came from the overflowing of the Euphrates River, as Indicated by the nature of the waterlaid clay strata. This Is in conflict with the belief, gained from the Genesis story, that the deluge was world-wide. But Wooley points out that the people of that day with greatly restricted geolo graphieal knowledge might have thought the water coveted the whole earth. Besides Wooley does not understand the Bible record to say positively that the flood was universal. Remains of the pre-flood era in dicate a rather high state of civi lization. particularly to craftsman ship along many lines. Professor Wooley doubts whether such an ad vanced civilization could have been developed in the 10 generations we are led to believe passed between the time of Adam and Noah, as chronicled In the Bible. Of course, all this depends on the rate at which the ancient peo ples learned things. We know that progress of the ancients, of which we have records, was tragically slow. And It has been slow all through the ages up to the last cen tury. Sir.ee then we hnve traveled at break-neck speed. Perhaps there was a period back there before the flood when folks learned fast too. At any rate these British and American archaeologists are doing a great work in those Bible lands, shedding light on the scriptural records of man and his progress. Now if they could only discover Noah's ark! - -^ LANDIS SHOE SHOP For Up-To-Date Shoe Re pairing. Also Rebuilt And New Shoes. For Sale At Bargain Prices. Call In And Look Them Oter. West Marion Street, Third Door From Western Union, SHELBY, N. C. Snakes Article Of Trade In Sandhills Developers of Mossgiel farm Buy ing Ip All Sorts Of Vermin. Southern Pines.—A curious article of commerce that has entered the field in the sandhills is shakes. When Talbot Johnson and his father, of Aberdeen, and Frank V. Dupont, and several associates of Wilmington, Delaware, and New York, as the Mossgiel club, took over the big Mossgiel farm of 3,000 acres, on Drowning Creek, they began plans to convert the vast estate into one of the most modern clubs in the state. They liberated several hundred pairs of Mexican quad on the tract. They are cutting 15 miles of open ings 120 fret wide through tlie area and in the center of these openings they are planting cow peas, beans, millett and other grains to feed the birds. The imported birds are pair ing and breeding, the native quail are also abundant, and other wild life is plentiful. The wealthy north erners will establish winter camps there on a pretentious scale. A funny phase of the development is the result of an offer to pay for hawks, .snakes and predatory vermin of all sorts found on the place and brought in. Buying fcawko and crows j and similar pests, is not a new thing. But to see a bushel of snakes among the accumulation of the day's purchase is rather a novelty to the folk around here who never set a cash price on snakes before, and thought of them only as a logical reason for taking snake bite medicine along when going fishing Mossgiel has never been regarded as a very ; naky country, but comb ing the three thousand acres yields a right favorable gathering of the creatures One thing that interferes with the possible volume of the industry is; that snakes lront anywhere but tlic | home-grown product of Mossgiel do not rate as having a cash value, j Mossgiel snake production is .strictly, a local industry to the club alone. ] No bootlegging, and 110 importa- 1 tions.
