Lingered Awhile. Fort Gibson. Okla.—Amanda Fos ter, who is shown by records of the Cherokee Nation to have lived 110 years, is dead. TO MAKE A LONG TALE SHORT we believe that a traveling man who was asked when the honeymoon was over, was about half right when he said: “When hubby who only gets canned beans for dinner, discovers that wifey is feeding the poodle dog the lamb chops.” Another tale made short is the commendation of Sinclair gas and oil by the regular users of tfrese pro ducts. Short and right to the point are the qualities and purity of these pro ducts. Satisfying and ef ficient in every respect you will find them a source of real and consistent saving. Cleveland Oil Co.

By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, M.D. United States Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Health, Aeto I'orfc Cxty. WHEN cold weather comes the feet require a lot M care. Many and many a person will have chilblain's and painful feet till next Spring. Most of these foot ailments are preventable and curable. Lots of us show little common sense in the way we dress in' Winter. We have a certain date for putting on the "heavy underwear’’ and an other for talcing it off. No matter what the temperature may be, wo wear the same heavy clothing. We may perspire and feel miserably hot but that makes no difference. The calender says we are in the season of cold weather and that settles it Thick, woolen stockings are worn from morning till night. In the warm house or bam these cause the feet to perspire and the stock ings become moist The moisture softens the skin and gets it ready to be chilled when the own er of the feet goes into the cold. Trouble is sure to follow. The thick stockings cause the boots or shoes to be crowded and to pinch the feet Perhaps the foot covering is too small anyhow. This OR COPELAND w picBBure on me oiooa vessels ana serious interference with the circulation in the feet. To guard against any harm that may come from cold, the first true i* that the blood must flow freely through the surfaces of the rnoj. yrnen you get cnineu you* beat your arms and cheat. WhyT To get the blood going In the sur faces. Tou can aee that tight aboea will prevent free circulation and prepare the way for uncomfortable happen ings. These are Inevitable if you tall to get tbe right foot-gear. City people suffer less from cold feet than country folks. Moat city homes have central beating plants. Not only are the rooms warm, but the floors are warm. Where the heating Is from stoves the floors are cold for hours in the morning. The cellar under the living room ie cold and this chills the floor. Housewives, policemen, motor men. farmers—everybody having oc casion to have the feet exposed to cold should bear several things in mind. In tha first place, keep the feet dry. To this end change the i stockings several times a day if nec essary. Wear rubber* tf it is very wet. Have the shoes wall fitted, but above all else have them big enough. They need not be monstrosities by any means, but buy good shoes and insist on having them properly ad justed. Provide yourself with an ex tra pair, so If you get them wet vou can change.to a dry pair. Have stockings of different weights, so you can dress according to the temperature. , nke pains not to have the stock ln;:« too short, as they are capable confining the toes, producing corns and in-grown oalla. If you get home with thoroughly cold feet, don’t stand over tbs reg ister or put your feet In the oven. Take off your shoes and stockings and place your feet In cold water. Then dry and rub them with a coarse towel. f Answers to Ifealth~(Juc rfeiP B. A. H. Q.—What should s girt aged 17. 6 ft. 3Vi Inches tall weigh? Z—What will cure the habit of eat ing between meals?

CmvrrtBbL it28, NMnpstNr fw«*» a«n«fe r» WIDER MARGINS A very sobering thought It Is to realise how narrow are the margins of safety which, like ocean dikes, divide the gardens of our lives from the threatening tides of disaster! The problem of happiness seems to be dependent on widening the margins within whoee confines we can live free from distress but whose bounds we may not cross save at peril of our Uvea The casualties of every day remind us how slender a margin separates safety from danger. It is the constant endeavor of modern ed ucation and Industry 1n their schools and laboratories to broaden the margins of security not only by perfecting mechanical devices but by elevating the human factor. , How small a divide separates health from sickness—a few degrees of temperature more or less, an Infinitesimal community of bacteria In a vital spot, a footstep misplaced—our margin of safety is wiped out and we must battle for our Uveal Chips speed over the midnight ocean through fog and storm, trains roar across continents on the thin margins of their rails, motor • cars travel at a pace which annlhUates distance, airplanes defy ft the very law* of gravitation—marvels accomplished through the maintenance of an ever-increasing margin of safety. , •Early and provident fear Is the mother of safety." To widen the margin of education over Ignorance means safety for a nation. To expand the margin of saving and to lessen that of spending means material well-being for the individual. Through habits of moderation In thought and act w# can build op our margin of resistance and expand the ion* of safety that fends off the perils which from every side assails the security of health and happiness A little marge of play twlxt work and sleep. ._, V A little less of losing than of (rain: — — —.

Before the days when Insurance against 111 fortnne becanir available, man’s chance of worldly welfare was Indeed uncertain. Today, though disaster befall us. Its direst consequences can t»> mitigated If our foresight has provided that surest of all margins of safety insurance against the carnlrssneM of humanity, the accidents of activity and U»s catastrophes of nature. Seven Months Of Hooverism-What? Charlotte News. The millennium is slow in ma terializing. About this season last year prom ises were being freely made that only by the election ot Herbert Hoo ver as president could the millen nium be Insured. Good times for the farmer, the baker, the candlestick maker and others were promised by the ballyhoo artists of the Repub lican national committee aided right lustily by the Very Rev. James Can non, bishop of the Methodist church, and many of his fellow communicants. Election of A1 Smith. Democratic standard bearer, was seen by r-om* of our best citizens as the en thronement of the prince of dark ness and the ruin of American business. Cotton, they said, would go down this fall if Hoover was not ejected. Wheat also would hit the bottom and the farmer would have to re plaster the old homestead with another mortgage and many would go trekking down the sad lane that leads to the poorhouse. A1 Smith s election would ruin the stock mar ket and flood the country with li quor, we were told. v Mr. Smith was not elected. Mr Hoover was. Whereupon those of us who believe what our best folks say sat back and watted for the golden day sure to come under the benign influence of the Great Mind. Wo are still waiting. Mecklenburg farmers know all about the price of cotton. Mr, Hoo ver hasn't gotten around to them yet. The wheat growers of the west also are waiting for the Oreat Mind to begin to function. It looks like they have some time to wait,' The bootleggers, If police and su perior court blotters give any Indi cations, continue to flourish and ply their 4trade. There has been of ficial talk that they do right welt at It In the shadow of Mr. Hoover’s residence. All of which leads to the question: What has Mr. Hoover, the famous engineer and the Great Mind ac complished in his seven months as president? He built a few dams across a branch up in the hills of Virginia. Good exercise probably but really of little importance in matters of state. He haa made several speeches but the price of cotton and wheat has continued to drop. The naval disarmament confer ence may be another “noble experi ment.” It probably will afford an opportunity to sink several million dollars worth of valuable defense Machinery that may be badly need ed when some vigorous power de cides to help Itself to some of our wealth. However that may be, the administration will do well to wait and see how the conference turns out before taking too much credit for a great accomplishment. One of Mr. Hoover’s accomplish ments. it may be pointed out, has been his success in getting his pro LOW PRICES AND HIGH QUALITY —'This is a combination which is seldom found— However, you can get the benefit of such a con I dition now, if you buy at i THE PARAGON during | our Closing Out Sale— which is going on now— SHELBY’S QUALITY * STORE, | GOING OUT OF BUSINESS By buying your fall < needs here you will save 25 to 50% and even more on some items.

A doubtful honor surely, but at least something on which to reflect after these seven futile, empty months. All of which shows that presidents, as great and achieving as they may bo can't speed up the Golden Era by themselves.

Star Advertising Pays White Man I» Freed In Charge Of Rape Raleigh, Oct. 22.—Lack of prob able cause was yesterday found la the case of Sam1 Johnson, Raleigh mechanic, charged with raping a negro woman. \ The case was heard before Justice of the Peace J.
