THE LENOIR HET7S, LE2IOIE, IT. C. ' it V 3 Some Practical Remedies V for Common Cold By WILLIAM BRADY. MD. Okace Everyone who has ever had an acute attack of the great indoor plague, coryza, or "common . cold," knows that an active cathartic' is great medicine to clear the head. . A dose of salts, next to an adequate supply of moving, cold, night ( air in the shape of a draft blowing steadily over the bed, is among the toost essential remedies for acute coryza. It works by depleting the portal blood vessels and emptying the liver. And since these veins directly com . inunicate with the veins of the stomach, esophagus, throat and nose, it .1 follows that engorgement or congestion of the nasal lining is relieved by 7 the action of the salts. f Now if it helps an acute congestion of the nasal lining to take a ' saline laxative, it also helps a chronic congestion or inflammation, or catarrh. And if depleting an engorgement of the liver is good for catarrh, preventing the engorgement or congestion of the liver should be even better for the chronic nasal trouble. To prevent congestion of the liver you must reduce the amount of protein food you are consuming, cut down on meat particularly, but on other hearty foods as well. The full-blooded individual with'chronic nasal trouble can do nothing better for his "catarrh" than to adopt the fruit breakfast plan with a more or less rigid vegetarianism for his other meals. It goes without saying that alcohol in any form must be interdicted before a chronic catarrhal trouble in the head can possibly be cured. Like wise tobacco. These narcotics are contributing causes of chronic infiamma - tion of the muscles and permanent relief cannot be obtained while their use is continued. Overeating is very obviously one of the chief predisposing factors of chronic "catarrh" of the head. Stuffing and snuffing are simply cause and effect. MtMlONAL WSfflflOL CBy E. X SELLERS.

There never was bo absurd a piece of currency. It serves no useful purpose in our mone tary scheme. It is small and easilv lost. It has a habit of IMPACTION 1M WORK HORSES SAUL ANOINTED KING. LESSON TEXT-I Samuel :T7-10:L GOLDEN TEXT Fear God, honor the king.! Peter 2:V. Because of the acts of Samuel the people petitioned tor a king (ch. 8:5). They are told plainly what to expect if a king is set in authority (ch. 8:19). God, however, (ranted their petition and spoke "in the ear" of Samuel, say ing, "I will send thee a man," telling him of the work which this man Is to undertake (ch. 9:15, 16). ; I. "Samuel Saw Saul" w. 17-21. Saul was a man to gase at ana to aumira ;(ch. 9:2). His fruitless 'search for his father's asses leads him to the city wherein Samuel was residing. There he is advised to consult the "man of God" about his difficulty a good sug gestion for us all. This experience (eh. 9:6-14) exhibits Samuel in a new light The word "seer" indicates "one who sees," one who sees the things God makes manifest In dreams (Num. 24:4-16). While the word is similar to the modern term "clairvoyant" yet the latter are not the successors of these Old Testament "seers" or "prophets." They are rather the successors of the false prophets (Jer. 17: if), and of those who dealt with familiar spirits (I Chron. 10:13-14; Isa, 8: 19-20; 2 Kings 21:1. 2. 6). Saul evidently did not know Samuel (vv. 16-18). Samuel took Saul- with him tor the Animals Xrs Turned Out to Old . Straw 6tack" and Al. owed to 8hlft for Themselves. (By DR. L E. NETV90X, Colorado Ex periment Station.) .- This is the time of the year when impaction of the bowels is most com mon to work horses. The animals having little to do are turned out to an old straw stack or coarse alfalfa and allowed to shift tor themselves. Owing to the cold weather they. drink little water and the coarse food not being properly moistened clogs the Intestines. This Is more liable to be the case If the teeth are not in first class condition, for then the food Is not finely ground in the mouth. Look ing after the teeth and giving an oc casional bran mash will materially reduce Impactions. Milffl off the things of time and sense to be still and hear the word of God. What were a few asses to Saul, to him "for whom all that is desirable in Israel" (v. 20 R. V.) ? Christians who are heirs to the heavenly kingdom ought not to set their affections on the poor concealing itself in the most awkward places, such as crevices in one's pocket, in the bowl of one's night to take his mind off his father's pipe, between leaves of paper and everywhere except where it ought to be. word from Qod Chrl8tians take "When lost, it is so small as to be recovered with difficulty and seldom, far too little time to withdraw them' indeed, recovered at all. The fact of losing one, like losing anything else, selves and take their restless minds is a prolific source of worry and annoyance, costing in wasted time and energy far more than the value of the coin. Besides, the coin in itself is stupid and objectionable. The self Satisfied smirk of the goddess of liberty upon all of our fractional silver ; is rather rasping, but when the lady is reduced to a mere shadow of herself so to sneak as is the miniature unon the dime, she troads beyond possessions of earth (Col. 3:1,2; 2 Cor, , 4:18). In response to Samuel's infor- endurance. matlon, Saul disclaims any greatness; Now, the nickel especially those that display the noble buffalo indeed, is he not from one of the least contemplating his native plains is a virile, upstanding coin, a credit to of the families of one of the smallest its kind.

COMPOSITION OF EWE'S MILK Different Breeds Show Some Variation In Fat Content -Lamb Need Good Laxative at First. An analysis ot ewe milk shows it to be very high In fat content The different breeds show some variation in this regard, and there is a consid erable variation In the fatty content of the milk of a single ewe at various times. All ewes give richer milk Im mediately after the lamb Is bom than they do later on. The percentage of fat sometimes runs as high as 11 per cent at this time, Nature made this arrangement, no doubt, because the lamb needs a laxative at first to Bet Its digestive ap paratus In motion and free it ot feces that have been collecting during Ha pre-natal growth.

McBRIDE, Ondopad, Okie It is the general belief that American art now has ber and placed in the chief seat Read, our Lord's parable found in Luke 14:7-11. Samuel then bade the cook bring the thigh, which was a choice piece of meat especially reserved for thoce thus honored (Ezek. 24:4). Such a portion belonged to the priest (Lev. 7:32). That which did not belong up on the altar Saul was to eat (v. 24), Samuel and Saul may have had the No sick headache, biliousness, bad taste or constipation by morning. Get a 10-cent box. Are you keeping your bowels, liver, and stomach clean, pure and fresh with Cascarets, or merely forcing passageway every few days with Salts. Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative Waters? StoD having a bowel wash-day. Let Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg ulate the stomach, remove the sour and fermenting food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out of the system all the constipated waste matter and poisons In the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will make you feel great by morning. They work while you sleep never gripe, sicken or cause any inconvenience, and cost only 10 cents a box from your store. Millions of men and women take a the best opportunity it has preference and eaten before the other Cascaret now and then and never ever had. . There is the chance for American artists such as has never before ex- guests (v. 13), and Saul is made ac quainted with the special honor con ferred upon him. Following the feast, they return to Samuel's home, where Saul is conducted to a couch upon the flat housetop (Acts 10:9). Here Sam uel had private converse with Saul What that converse have Headache.

' States department of agriculture, it is now possible to prove not only that good roads are profitable investments, but to determine exactly what divi dends they pay. An investigator as signed to this problem In any given locality first ascertains the extent of the territory that is tributary to any main road, much as one might ascer tain the territory tributary to some river. The next step is an accurate estimate of the total products of this territory so much grain, so much to bacco, so much garden truck, etc. Of this quantity a certain portion is con sumed on the farm; the rest is shipped over the road in question. The whole calculation can then be checked by investigators at the ship ping point to which the road leads. In general It has been found that the two methods yield much the same in formation the total amount of prod uce hauled over the road. Next the length of the average haul is calcu lated, the size of the load permitted by the character of the road ascertained, and the cost of teams and drivers fig ured. With these facts before him the investigator is now able to .state positively the cost of hauling a ton of produce on that road, to express in terms of these "ton-miles" the freight traffic on the road, and finally the total cost to the community served by the road of hauling fits goods to market Armed with these data it is easy to decide how much money can be profitably spent in improving the road and what are the returns that the Investment yields to the community, Every mother realties after giving her children ' "California Syrup of , f Figs that this is their Ideal, laxative, ' . because they love lta pleasant taste and it thoroughly cleanset the tender little' stomach, liver and bowels with- , out griping."' , - ;"...
