Why and How They Bcneht Those That
Drink Them.
When u patient reaches % mineral
water health resort, he is examined by
the resident physician and ordered to
drink certain quantities of the water at
certain times during the day. These are
increased from day to day until the
maximum quantity needed is reached.
He is ordered to drink one or two glass
fuls upon rising, two or three glasses
between breakfast and dinner, the same
quantity in the afternoon and couple
of glasses before going to bed. The pa
tient is urged TO take it whether he
wants it or not. He may say that he Is
ence; he must take il as u medicine.
The quantity is increased until we have
known 80 glasses per day to be taken.
A part of the benefit derived is be-
cause of the rest and change of scene.
A part, perhaps Is from the small
quantity of the salts and other bases
contained in these waters 1--WE are not
speaking of cathartic or lybeate wa
ters), but the benefit from this source is
very slight. The secret of the cure is in
the quantity of water taken. II the wa
ter be pure, free from organic matter,
and taken in sufficient quantity, the re-
suits will be substantially the same, re-
gardless of the traces" of lithia and
small quantities of sodium chloride and
other salts. You can perform these
cures at home with the ordinary drink
ing water, IL Of good quality, If you
" ill require the patient to take it in
the same quantity az at the springs. It
is very easy to add lithia if desired, but
you must not lose sight of the fact that
the quantity of water mot lithia) taken
is the important thing. It acts by flood
ing the kidneys, by washing out the
bladder with copious bland and dilute
urine, by unclogging the liver and
clearing the brain. The patient feels
better from day to day; he il better.
Irritable bladder is relieved, the kid
neys act freely-are washed OUT
and many effete substances are carried
out with the food. This clears the way
for the liver to act freely and normally,
for there is an intimate relation be-
tween the liver and kidneys. New

Elephant Flesh an African Delicacy.

The flesh of the elephant il eaten in
its entirety by several Of the African
tribes. A detail of the process of butch
ering the animals is not pleasant read
ing. The tools used are the assagai and
hatchet. The rough outer skin is first
removed in large sheets. Beneath this
is subcuticle, u pliable membrane,
from which the natives make water
skins The elephant yields large guam
titles of fat. used in cooking the ma
tives' sun dried biltong, or dried strips
of the elephants flesh, and also in the
preparation of vegetables. African ex-
plorers Of the Caucasian race agree that
one part Of the elephants carcass, when
properly cooked, is sucoulent dish
that will regale the most delicate taste.
This part, very strangely, is the first
joint of the leg below the knee, which
one would suppose to be the toughest
portion of the animal. To prepare the
joint hole three feet deep is dug in
the earth, and the sides of IL are baked
hard by means of large live Goals. Most
of the Goals are then taken out, and the
elephants foot is placed in the rude
oven. The hole is then filed with dirt,
tightly packed, and blazing fire is
built OH top, which Is kept replenished
for three hours. The foot is thus evenly
baked, and when done. instead of
strong, tough meat fiber, 1t is of a &C.
latinous consistency that may be eaten
with a spoon.-Philadelphia Lancet.

A Strong Sermon on This Subject
DR.. Creasy's Introductory.
The greatest crowd during Evan.
gelist Lees meeting was at the tent
Sunday night, and five or six pro-
fessed faith in Christ during the af-
ter-meeGing.
DR.. Greasy made statement after
the song service which cuuld not be
misunderstood He said he had been
told that some one remarked during
the afternoon service that they were
In favor OF rOtten-egging Mr.. Lee
when he went to preach to the colored
people. TT am willing to take all
the rotten eggs they will give me-"
responded the EvaDgelist.) Contin-
ufDg DIR Greasy said he would give the
fellow that made the remark just $40
If he would stand up. He said he just
wanted to see him in the face. lie
added that it would be lively for those
who attempted such a thing in this
town, as be believed the sheriff wou
protect man of God ''The devil is
on the run here and his only ammuni-
ton appears to be rUtten eggs" said
DR. Greasy.
Before announcing his text the
Evangelist stated that he had no ill.,
will against the saloon keeper. He
just wanted to stop the injury he is
ooin.. He did not think the 500 nr
l 500 Anti-Saloon people here would
let the fight stand still
He appealed to the Chief of Police
and City authorities 10 clear Third
street at the corner of Church street
He said that he had been informed,
however, that it was dangerous for an
officer here TO attempt to clear a
street as an officer was KILLED here re-
Gently for trying to do this thing
He thought this street was a d sgrace
TO the town. He said the policemen
appeared to be clever. DR.. Greasy
spoke up and said he supposed the Of
fcers we're doing the best they could
with the saloons here. He said be
knew they were bad in Greensboro
but he did not believe they would al
low suchscOnduct as is seen on Third
street. He found an ordinance
against cOngregating on sidewalks
He wanted to know why it is not en-
forced
The Evangelist stated that he
would BEGIN his meeting with the
colored people Tuesday Dight-rotten
eggs or no rotten eggs. He said they
were not as bad as the saloon business
as he could fumigate his clothing" but
you can't do that to your business "
He expected to hear fine singing this
week. He proposed to organize a
League among the cOlored people
here. He also expects to organize one

MISUNDERSTANDING.

Sunday Morning Service at the Tent.
Praise Service.
A praise and testimony meeting
was held at the tent Sunday morn
ing, when a number of people testified
to their faith in God and love for
Him.
At IL o'clock Evangelist Lee preach
ed a practical sermon on Burden
Bearing" 1t was directed principally
10 the Christians. Mutual and sym
pathetic cooperation is the sum and
substance Of the teaching of Gods
word" said Mr.. Lee. 1t not only
makes us but others happy. To
great extent we are our brothers
keeper. We are more or less respon.
sible for the influence and example
of others. We either lift them up or
drag them down. There is no such
thing as absolute Independence The
poor man is dependent upon his en-
ployer for a living. On the other
hand what would the capitalist do
without labor We are all dependent
upon one another.
The Evangelist urged all to bear
one anoJher's burdens, and thereby
fulfill the law of Christ Speak words
of encouragement. Help men and
women while they live. There is lots
of encouragement in a warm hand
shake. Let us determine TO be kind.
d. not throw a man overheard II he
should happen to take drink. First
close up the places Of temptation. A
coloreo man in the audience said
Amen" to this.
The Evangelist thought many men
would carry more money home to
| their families were it not for the
places on Third street. He added
| that not one of the barkeepers in
| Winston keeps the law. He said every
| Whiskey man here was an outlaw and
| a perjurer. He thanked Gud for the
bright prospect for closing the sa
| looms
The Evangelist said he did not take
| much stock in Christian science, faiJn
healing or amounting. He was not
hitting anybody-he just believed in
taking medicine when he was sick
and then asking God to bless the
medicine. Keep long faces out OF the
sick room. Too many people cry af-
| ter their loved ones die and did not
care two cents for them while they
were living. Sumo husbands will pile
flowers on the graves Of their wives
| and erect great monuments to their
memory But how did they treat
them while they were living? Many
poor wives are dying. to day foi
lack OF appreciation. Many men
marry just to save cook. But
how did they DO while counting:
Money was no object. They did not
count the cost. They put the robe on
the wheel to keep their dress from
getting soiled when they got 10 the
buggy. After. marriage she not only
has to get 10 by herself but she can
roll out If she wants to. He advised
husbands to go home and tell theiI
wives they we're the sweetest things
on earth. Cheer them and make then
happy.
He also urged church members &c
encourage their pastors. Have sym
pathy and love for father and mother
Give them the best of everything anC
make cid age as happy as possible.
After prayer by DR.. Greasy, the lat
ter made talk about the work o
Evangelist Lee and called upon those
who wished to give something for hi,
services to DO so. A number of peopl,
subscribed amounts ranging from
81 SO to $25. A hat collection was alst
taken.

OTHO'S"HAYSEEDER."
PUBLICATION TO BE REVIVED
NEXT WEEK.

1t VIII be Red Hot and Will Make a
Sizing Time for Butler and Rus :
sell-Round Knob Hotel Adver-
tised by the Recent Muss.
S. Otho Wilson, of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Commission, was in
Winston Monday. He said he was
here to see Messrs. Stewart Bros in
regard to the publication of The
Hay seeder," which Mr. Wilson expects
to revive next week. or course the
editorial office of the "Hayseeder"
will be in Raleigh.
In conversation with a SENTINEL
representative Mr. Wilson said that
his paper would be redhot. That he
knew a whole lot about the status Of
affairs in the political arena of North
Carolina and he proposed now that
the dear people should have the bene-
fl of it.
He says that one OF the first duties
he will perform with the columns of
the N ayseeder" will be tC kill Sena-
tor Butler with charges that have
been made against him (Butler) by
Governor Russell and also to kill Gov
ernOr Russell with charges made
against him (Russelt) by Senator But
Ter All this redhot 'shot and shell"
which Mr.. Wilson has stored away for
his,arch allied enemies destruction is
composed of things told him by Rus
sell and Butler before the two became
such affectionate political bedfel-
lows.
Judging from the tone and air of
assurance manifested by Mr.. Wilson
he must have 1.-The dots on his two
prosecutors who are irving to turn
him out of his Office of Railroad COM
missioner He evidently hopes to get
the house of his enemy divided against
itself and save his own official head
Mr.. Wilson spent Sunday night at
r iund Knob hotel, run by his mother,
which has been the cause of all the
trouble with the Wilson's and their
Railroad Commison offices. He says
that the war" has been splendid
thing for the hotel and his mother
has made more money the few weeks
since the "muss" was raised than dur.
ing all the preceding months.

forgiveness" was the subj ,ct of a
practical sermon delivered by Evange-
list Lee Saturday night. He read
from the 2lst to the Ssh verse OF the
18th chapter of St. Mathew.
To hold grudge against fellow
man is against the principles of
Christianity, said the Evangelist. As
your duty to forgive him. Here he
quoted from Gods word. as found IN
Mathew 6:12-15. No man or woman
Can live or die happy il they do not
possess a forgiving spirit Of YOU

town of the kind I have ever seen,''
continued the Evangelist, you seem
to have little of everything in Win
ston. You have some Of the best peo-
ever seen. Ii anybody has anything
against you go and see them about it,
Nine-tenths of all the trouble is caus-
ed by misunderstanding
The EVANGELIST discussed the town
gossip, saying some times it was mas
cullne, some times feminine and som g
times it was neutral. Gossip is where
trouble begins. When you hear any
thing about party go and see them.
The Evangelist said there are two
classes we should be careful 10 talking
neutrality-suspicious. and ladies Their
characters are so easily stained. You
should know what you are talking
about and even then it would be bet
ter not to say it II you hear any

Letters Coming to WinsJon-Salem
Punched Full of Holes.
The clerks In the Winston and Salem
postoff1ces are now handling quanti-
ty of mail that bears evidence of the
governments precaution in the time
of yellow fever. The letters from the
far South come here punched full of
holes, evidencing their having gone
through the perforating and fumigat-
ing process. The Atlanta Journal
thus describes the process In operation
there:
1.-The clerks are all armed with pad
dies studded with short, sharp nails.
and they perforate all letters, papers
and packages. When the mail Is
thoroughly padded the car is closed
and the fumigated machine lighted.
This is allowed to burn for about an
hour or so, and then the mail Is re-
distributed. The orders are explicit
and every piece of mail has to be
thoroughly perforated; so big, fat love
letters and packages that contain
packages of fair maidens suffer the
same fate as the rest of the mail, and
many fellows are liable to receive
their best girls picture with the eyes
gone, or the faces studded with
