The HeaIthiest Spot on Earth.
Fine Mineral Water-The Best
place 40 Spend the Spring
and Summer Months.

Southern Pines, Moore Co, N. C., is situa,
ted on a high sand mountain, and there are
several causes which go to make it the
healthiest spot on earth, and the very best
place to stop at during the spring and sum,
mer months. Its elevation above the sur
rounding section for more than one hundred
miles causes Il delightful breeze at all times
during the summer Its location amid IL vast
forest of long leaf pines gives it an atmos-
phere which physicians of national reputation
say is the most healthful to be found in the
United States. The soil being a pure white
sand gives perfect drainage, and therefore
no form of malaria can exist. The mineral
springs near by, issueing from a singular
medical store house bnilt by nature and curl
ously situated in this sand mountain seems
as though the Creator intended this spot as a
place where mankind might rest and regain
health.
This place was first noted as a winter
health resort, and thousands of persons from
the Northern States have come to it during
the past few years; and without a single ex-
ception they have been benefited. During
the past two summers it has been shown by
actual test that those suffering from weak
ness of mind or body can find greater relief
at this place than any other known resort.
DIR. Wild, an eminent physician of Connecti-
cut and editor of the New England Medical
Monthly, has been investigating for the ben
eft of Northern physicians, and he says
Southern Pines is the best known place for
those who need rest and sleep. He says the
first inclination one has is to sleep, and that
this rest, without the use of drugs. enables
the natural forces of the body to impart
siren 9Th to the diseased parts. Those suffer
ing from indigestion, rheumatism and all
blood disorders, nervousness caused by over
work or any other cause, find relief and
health without taking medicine.

When, under the plea of morality. "a cen
sorship of the press was established under
the title of an anti-lottery postal law, the
door was opened to untold evils, and the
cranks and emotionalists will leave no effort
unexpended to incorporate their meddIesome
yagaries into the statute books. Of one OF
these fads, and the tendency of the times
toward Capitalization, the Indianapolis Sen,
tinel sarcastically speaks as follows
If the Paddock pure food bill were to be-
come a law, We might reasonably soon ex,
pect Sound furniture law, a genuine cloth
ing" law, a law to prevent the sale of ~overalls
that would rip and a million other similar pa
ternal enactments. 1t wouldn't be long till
every American would be an inspector of
some sort or other empowered to pry into
his neighbours business and crafty his per-
sonal spite by confscating his enemy's pro
duet or prohibiting its sale.
That may be considered grim humor,. but
who can deny its strong favoring of truth.
