Nature Thought of
Everything
Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body >■ about to become 31, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if oar children grind their teeth
they sleep, or lack appetite, or
hr from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, we should
know that they may hare contracted
worm. Then, if wo are wise, we buy a
bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and
safely and surely expel the worms. Thus
we arced the danger of very serious
trouble. White’s Cream Vermifuge rants

Mr>Mav*hav, Pifci/C H •M-rsIIayAwc*,!* M*».A<;wesAChurch
New York—All hail America, the
land of alimony and the home of
the gold-digger!
The spectacle of our harassed
millionaires paying out staggering
ransoms to free themselves of. the
chains of matrimony Is becoming
almost commonplace.
“What price freedom?’1,1s the bat
tle cry in today’s divorce courts,
and justice's answer is a thundering
"Plenty! Give until you wince!"
There is the current sensation of
Mrs. Marshall Field III. Mrs. Field,
wife of the scion of one of Ameri
ca's wealthiest, families, was recent
ly awarded exactly $1,000,000 a year
in alimony.
Field can well afford to pay this
enormous annuity. He Is reputed
to be worth $150,000,000. Shortly
after the Reno decree was signed,
young Field planned to sail for
London to marry Mrs. Dudley Coats,
pretty friend of the Prince of
Wales.
And Mrs. Field may become the
bride of George K. Cherrie, the
middle-aged explorer, who accom
panied the late ex-President Roose
velt on his famous River of Doubt
expedition in South America.
Some months ago Mrs. Linda W.
Woodworth secured a divorce from
her husband, Chauncey V. Wood
worth, the perfumer of New York
and Palm Beach. Although the al
lowance granted her cannot be
compared with the kingly sum giv
en Mrs. Field—it is. no pittance.
Under the terms of the* divorce,
Mrs. Woodworth receives $21,000 a
year or $1,750 per month. Many
bank presidents are patd lex*
Before Mrs, Roy H. Arnold mar
ried her millionaire investment
broker-husband, she was a candy
store clerk. After over 20 years of
matrimony, they separated. Mrs.
Arnold was given $40,000 annual al
lowance.
Later she brought suit for divorce.
After one of the most bitterly
fought legal battles in the annals
of New York State courts, it was
announced that Mr. Arnold would
make a "Just financial settlement’’
Upon his wife.
Does a woman already receiving
$40,000 a year alimony need a "just
financial settlement"? It sounds a
bit excessive.
Another Reno divorcee, whose
future was rather well provided for
by the judge who split the nuptial
bonds, Is Mrs. Walker P. Inman,
who was granted an allowance of
$15,000 a year.
Theatrical stars were- formerly
branded as alimony-diggers, but
from the number of tranquil mar
riages between stage folk and mil
lionaires, it might be said that con
ditions are changing as far as they
are concerned.
Constance Bennett is an out
standing exception. A year or so
ago this beautiful screen actress ob
tained a divorce from Phil Plant,
Broadway playboy, in Paris.
Young Plant is said to have turn
ed over a cool million dollars to his
wife when their matrimonial bark
was wrecked on the rock* of tem
perament.

Sharing Good Things
Helping yourself you help the Carolinas
The best customer your state has for the food it pro
duces is A & P. The reason is simple: ^ & P has to buy a
larger supply of this food than anyone else because of the
demand for It from hosts of housewives all over the country
who trade in A & P stores.
This helps the producer just as A & P methods help you.
Producers, to prosper, must have sure, quick, and good
markets. You. to be satisfied, must have the best of what
you like at the lowest possible cost.
Ask the food and allied industries of the Carolinas who
are their very big customers—for their "vegetables and her
pes, peanuts, tobacco, and other famous products. Last year
A & P bought more food in the Carolinas, at a fair price,
than any other buyer, and will buy stiU more this year.
Why a low price to you and a fair price to producers?
... Because all the money you pay A A P for food—less
only actual expenses and A & P's small service charge
—goes to the producers.

Of School Fund
Will Be Mode l
Distribution of $50,000 Fund for j
Fight-Month Schools May Be
Made This Month
Raleigh.—Distribution of appro xi- ]
mately $50,000 more of the $1,250,
000 "tax reduction" fund for eight
month school districts will be made
by tt^ state board of equalization
at a meeting to be held in a few
weeks, possibly near the last of
August.
'This will be in addition to the
some $1,160,000 distributer! at a re
cent meeting of the board. The new
distribution, Le Roy Martin, secre
tary of the board, explained, will be
to give aid to districts that have ex
tended their school terms to eight
months since last year.
Other emergency distributions will
be made from time to time both
from the $1,250,000 fund for eight
month districts and from the $4,-.I
950,000 fund . for the si j-month
schools as need may arise, it was
explained. The bulk of six-momh
equalizing fund was distributed sev
eral weeks ago by the board.
The equalizing fund for the ex
tended term schools last year re
sulted in between 33,000 and 40,000
school children having the benefit
of an eight-month school, Mr, Mar
tin said in commenting on the re
sults of the fund.
Approximately 100 districts dur
ing the year extended their terms to
eight months, it was explained, i
Something like half that number 1
Is expected this year.
Local school taxes were slashed
from ope to 50 rents on the $100
valuation, an average of 18 cents,
as a result of the equaling fund Mr.
Martin previously had announced.
