NO YELLOW FEVER NEXT YEAR.
so Says DR.. Guiteras, the Noted Expert
on Yellow Fever.

30 Says DIR. Guiteras, the Noted Expert
on Yellow Fever.
Wilmington Star
There are thousands of people in
the South who are unduely alarmed
over the possibility that there may
be an outbreak of yellow fever in
the South next year simply because
it is in several Southern States now.
The Star hopes that the opinion of
DIR. Guiteras, the famous yellow fev>
er expert, given below, will be reas
surfing to those who are looking
ahead for trouble. In an interview
reported in the Atlanta Constitution
of last Monday, DR.. Guiteras said:
cdr. Guiteras does not think there
will be any fever next year. The
government is taking steps to Kill
the germs now. Arrangements are
being made to thoroughly fumigate
every house, and every locality
where the fever has been in every
city and town in the South. 1t i!
hope d in this way to wipe out the
disease entirely"
The Star will add that no physi
clan in this country has highe
| reputation as an expert in yellow
T fever than DIR. Guiteras. He ha
been in the South almost continu
ously since the outbreak of feve
and has visited all the infected dis
tricts, gathering information of re
liable character.

How to Drape a Doorway.

Many single doors are using only one
curtain, the material bought by the
yard and the fringe sewed on. No rings
are used. The rod is put on inside the
doorways, with space above sufficient
to permit the portieres to be thrown
over the pole once or twice, according
to the width of the doorway, one end
reaching to the floor, the other quite
short. The fabric can be wound so
loosely over the pole that the "sag-
ging" in the center will form graceful
curves.
Double doorways, of course, use two
curtains, and many are hung in the
way mentioned, coming from the cell
ing The most of them, however, are
put on movable cranes fastened in
side the doorways. These cranes are
fastened like brackets in either side of
the doorway and lack several inches of
touching each other. They swing in
and out with the portieres on them
with the greatest convenience to pass
ers.
Among the most popular materials
for doorway curtains in drawing rooms
are the French empire brocades in blue,
pink or yellow, with lace curtains of
fine handiwork hung over one side.

How to Make sardine Canapis.

Carefully remove the bones from 8
sardines and pound the flesh to paste,
together with the yolks of hard boiled
eggs. Add teaspoonful of finely minced
onion, tablespoonfuls of mustard
mixed smoothly with a tablespoonful
each of lemon juice and salad oil, a
saltspoonful of black pepper and OF
salt. Work all together until of very
SIN Doth, creamy consistency. Cut stale
bread into slices one-fourth of an inch
thick, and with French cutter into
circles, having 10 in number. Fry to a
delicate brown in smoking hot deep fat.
Spread the paste on the circles, sprinkle
each with half teapoonful of grated
parmesan and set in hot oven minutes.

4 BAD SKIN.
How to Treat It-Water and Friction tho
Best Cure.

Best Cure.
There is nothing SO fatal to wom-
ans beauty as skin disease, no matter
how admirable her form or how classic
the lines of her face and head. Indeed,
we might go further and say that with
perfect form and features woman may
be a paragon of all the domestic vir-
tues, and despite these gifts and graces
she has never been able to command
the love we all crave and have an hon
est right to yearn for if her face is
marred by an unsightly skin.
The hideous cases of skin disease
which have been the despair of women
and girls have in the course of a few
months of proper cleansing and friction
yielded and given way to beautiful sat
my complexions, free from every blem-
ish. No simple washing or bathing will
do this, although such additions be per-
formed six times a day. There is nc
publication of the skin and no cure for
diseases resulting from INSTRUCTED poreg
except soap, water and friction. En-
larged pores and m any of the simple
skin diseases need l. other treatment.
Those who cannot afford to employ
a masseuse or to take course of lessons
themselves must remember that the
word "masso" is the keynote of the
system. The great difficulty is in get
ting just the right pressure ON the face
and throat. The kIeading should be
deep enough to make the blood circulate
freely, never sharp or quick enough tt
hurt. 1t is of the utmost Importance
that the face should be quite clean whe1
massage is given, otherwise you kneat
the dust or face powder into the pores
of the skin

How to Remove Particles From the Eyes

The oval electrode which has been
devised for the removal of PARTICLES OF
iron or steel from the eye is said to
prove of peculiar practical value. The
use of a magnet directly after an in
jury, where a chip Of metal has pene-
trated the interior of the eye, always
gives far more favorable results than
when used later, SO that many cases are
on record where large particles have
been removed from the tissues of the
eye by the magnet with a hardly ap-
preciable impairment Of the vision. 1t
is recommended that in large injuries
of the eye, where the presence of piece
of iron or steel within the eye is sus-
pected, the physician should not hest
tate to insert a magnet, as inflamma-
ton and loss of the eye will ensue if
the foreign substance be allowed to re-
main. If, however, the injury shows but
a very small opening through the eye
ball, the intruding substance should
first be located with the ophthalmo-
scope, then the wound through the eye
ball should be carefully enlarged, and
the magnet inserted as close to the par
ticle as possible

Birds o Check to Ips cts

Youths Companion.
In recent lecture Professor Will
mer Stone, of Philadelphia, cited
many facts to show that birds are
natures great check on the excess of
insects, and that they keep the bal
ance between plants and insect life.
Ten thousand caterplllars, it has
been estimated, could destroy every
blade of grass on an acre of cult
waited ground In thirty days from
the time it is Matched an ordinary
caterpillar increases 10000 times in
bulk, and the food it lives and grows
on is vegetable. The insect popula-
ton of a single cherry tree infested
with aphides was calculated by a
prominent chronological at no less
than II ,OOO,OOOl The bird popula-
ton OF cultivated country districts
has been estimated at from 700 to
200 per square mile. This is small
compared with the numbe of insects,
yet as each bird consumes hundreds
of insects every day, the latter are
prevented from becoming the eco urge
they would be but for their feathered
| enemies.

THE LINE OF BATTLE.
Mel, her Neglect One Nor Abandon the
| Other.

Charlotte Observer.
The Hickory Times says:
''Some editors have said that the
Democratic party would make a mis-
take if it should remain silent con-
corning the evils existing in the State
government We disagree with that
view. Silence under such circum-
stances would not he a mistake, but
crime"
And egain:
"We are not in favor of sacrificing
national issues in order to make a
campaign on State issues We are
not in favor of sacrificing State
issues in order to make a campaign
on national issues. We believe the
Democratic party of North Ca DINA
ought to stand up and fight for every
| single principle that it represents,
| from the least to the greatest"
Some weeks ago the Observer sug-
gested that it would be policy for the
party in this State to re- firm the
Chicago platform and nominate for
| all the offices men who stand on it.
! The minority element, it was said,
| and is repeated, would make no

1t is realized that the majority could
not, il it wanted to, depart thus
early from the Chicago declaration
and there is perhaps not person in
the State who expects it to. But il
was insisted that everythin should
not be staked on national issues
the uuwisdom of that having bep1
proved last year-"ut that the m ii
administration of State affair
should be exhibited to the people il
all its hideousness. If this were to
be the policy, fusion with either o
the parties responsible for this NAL
administration is not to be though
of, OF course.
The Hickory Times and nine tenth
of the other Democratic papers O
the State. along with the leading
men of the party as well as it's ranl
and file, are arguing on exactly tn
same line, and uni. S. there is revo
luton in sentiment this will be tn
line of battle next year. 1t is, O
course, the only rational policy.

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.
Superintendent Mebane to County
Supervisors of Education

wish to call your attention to
very important matter, towit: The
employing OF assistants in our public
schools
No person should be allowed to
teach as an assistant in a public
school unless said person has Ger
tificate from the County Supervisor.
My attention has been called to
some instances where the principals
were paid $40 or $50 per month of
the public fund, with the understand
ing that the principal teachers were
to furnish their assistants. The
assistants selected in these cases re-
ferred to were some pupils taken from
the school and not qualified for the
work.
Away with the idea that anybody
can reach the primary children
This is the most difficult work, and
it il a gross injustice to allow the
children to be imposed upon by being
placed under the care of the person
! who can be secured by the principal
! for the least money.
! A case was reported to me last
| spriL e where a principal drew sc
| per month of public funds for an
| assistant teacher and hired his
assistant for $40 or $12 II this bt
| true, such a man is not fit to be iI
any school-room.
1t is your duty as Supervisor tC
see that the little ones are not neg
Iected, and are not placed in charge
of anyone except a competent teach
| err See to it that every man anC
woman has a certificate before he OF
she teaches in public school. Wher'
an assistant is needed, let the com
mittee make contract with assistant
in the same manner as with the prin
cipal, then we will have no unworthy
principals making money on incom-
petent assistants as in the case men,
TONED above.
In some Of our counties a certifi-
cate does not mean much, but b
sure that the children shall have th
bent fit of what it does mean.
Very truly,

Hurrah for the Dingley-Pritchard-
Pearson tariff How it does bless

to buy have advanced in the mean
time, with prospects of still further
advances. Where, oh where, does
the benefit to the farmer come In :?

ROAST FOWL.
How to Cook an Old Bird to Be Like
Spring Chicken.

How to Cook an Old Bird to Be Like
Spring Chicken.
Properly trussed and stuffed, pair
of elderly fowls, treated in a scientific
manner, will present SO appetizing an
appearance and follow this up with
such fine flavor that spring chickens
will only be suffered by way of a
change. When the fowls have been
properly prepared and singed, truss
them by skewering the wings and sec
ond joints neatly to the sides. Then tie
in cheesecloth that has been thoroughly
washed and boiled, that it may leave
no flavor in the broth. Put in a roomy
kettle with stand on the bottom, cover
with water, salt slightly and simmer
gently for four hours. Allow the fowls
to stand overnight to cool in the water
in which they were cooked. This is very
essential. When ready to roast, make a
stuffing of a teacupful of finely chopped
beef suet rubbed into 2 teacupfuls of the
crumbs of stale loaf, with tablespoon
fuls of chopped parsley, one of green
thyme or teaspoonful of dried, which
is very good i'll boxes; a teaspoonful of
salt and a quarter of teaspoonful of
black pepper When all is well blend
ed, break an egg over it and mix with
a fork into a paste, with which
stuff out the place from which the
crop was removed, the surplus to be
put into the body and the opening
stitched with coarse thread. The stuff
ing in the crop is the favorite, as it be-
comes brown, and also when well filled
adds greatly to the appearance. As the
stuffing is put in after boiling. it is
well to fill out the place with a wad of
cheesecloth and sew it up; otherwise it
will lose shape in the long simmering.
Wipe the fowls, put on a stand in the
dripping pan, with some nice drippings
of roast meat for basting, and roast
even and haste just as if no previous
cooking had been done. If the oven is
brisk, they should be brown in half an
hour. At the last put some waferlike
slices CT bacon on top, and when they
brown and curl up dish the whole and
send to table hot with giblet gravy.
There will be very good broth OBJ

THE FINGER NAILS.
How to Manicure Them Successfully mt
Home.

How to Manicure Them Successfully mt
Home.
Those who practice manicure will tell
you that in a short three months an ap
probable difference can be given to the
shape of the nails if they be attended to
regularly and Systematically. To obtain
filbert shaped nails the hard skin that
surrounds the base must be pushed
down, but this must never be done un-
less the hands have Immediately before
been washed in warm water with plenty
of soap. Then the cuticle will be found
so soft and elastic that all that is neces-
sary is to take an old silk handkerchief
and press the skin of each nail back sep
arately, and afterward, by means of a
bone or ivory point, the skin must be
pressed down at the side of each nail
The ivory or bone instrument must be
inserted at the center of the half moon,
or wherever the half moon should be-,
and drawn out at the top edge Of the
nail If this be done once day, the
nail will quickly acquire the much adj
mired filbert form.
After cutting the edges of the nail it
should be filed in a gentle curve, fol-
lowing the outline of the finger end.
To give transparency and clearness,
cleanse the nails constantly in the juice
of the lemon, rubbing and digging them
we'll into the rind. Lemon juice pre-
vents the cuticle from growing and is
also excellent for making the skin of the
hands white and smooth and is equally
as cleansing as soap and water.
Where the nails crack and split this
is usually a sign of i'll health. As 10
cal remedy rub in at night some of the
best cold cream or vaseline. 1t softens
and possibly nourishes them, and il
any case removes that dull, shabby
look that the nails of delicate people sc
frequently assume.
Once week the nails should be pol
ished. They must first be washed, or,
rather, soaked for a quarter of an houl
in lather of soapy water. Then, where
necessary, the cuticle must be trimmed
with a cuticle knife. The knife must
be used very sparingly and with the
EXTREMIST caution, or in time it will
cause to appear a hard, thick ridge al
the marking of the half moon. Now
smear the nails with either moist pow
der or paste, and before they have
time to dry rub them sharply backward
and forward with a piece of coarse
linen rag. A glasscloth answers THU
purpose very we'll Then polish them OF
leather polisher, and after seven min
utes' rubbing of each hand they viii
have glistening, highly polished sur
face.

The American Bicycle.
Atlanta Constitution

Atlanta Constitution.
The American bicycle still main
tains its popularity undiminished.
Though studlous efforts have been
made on the part of various enter
prising establishments in Europe to
drive the American bicycle from the
foreign market, these efforts have
ended in disastrous failure without
affecting the popular demand for our
product in the least.
What constitutes the superior ex-
cellence of the American bicycle? To
answer this question satisfactorily
r. quires some technical knowledge of
the bicycle industry, but to Indicate
in general terms what the peculiar
merits of the American bicycle are it
may be stated in the first place that
only the finest quality of steel is EN-
ployed in it's manufacture, and, in
the second place, that American in
genuity has succeeded in devising
patterns which can neither be eclipsed
nor successfully initiated.
