In view of the great Importance of this
challenge. not only to the citizens of
Raleigh, but to the entire clvili2sd
world, the public will be interested in the
outcome of what mag be properly termed
a hubble investigation of a discovery that
viii become famous and prove Of meal
culaible Importance to the great mass OF
people who are suffering in one way and
another from kidney ailments and other
attending ills.
The offer made by DR.. Hobbs in his
challenge above alluded to, is a simple
and plainly worded one. In nutshell he
asserts that he has discovered remedy
that will positively cure that most fnsld-
fous and common of all complaints, dis
ease of the kidneys; which is wrecking
nen and women by the score daily.
The good that can be accomplished by
a positive specific, one that can be admin
fstered in a simple and plain way-in
either words, grand, universal medicine
Tor all kidney troubles-wil be hailed
as Godsend everywhere
The claims made for the remedy in
question are, speaking in a general sense,
that the Hobbs Remedy Company OF
Ghica go and San Francisco, are the own
ers of an ASPARAGUS KIDNEY
REMEDY which they positively assert
will cure all kidney diseases, with the
exception of those where tumors and Ill
ecrs have formed and a surgical opera
tiea is necessary.

number of different formz OF kidney
troubles, but to treat them as a whole, az

A MOVE In THE RIGHT DIREC-
TION.

To the Editor: I am glad to see that
the State University at Chapel Hin. has
thrown open her doors for the higher
education OF women Our female acad-
emies, seminaries, and colleges furnish a
large majority of our women with all
the education advantages they can avail
themselves Of In fact, many of them
do NOT care to go beyond the training
given IN these schools. 1t is sufficient
to prepare them for the ordinary vaca-
tions of life.
But There are some women, who de-
sire TO prepare themselves for teaching,
and literary pursuits, who need higher
training than they can get i'm ordinary
schools. Let there be provided for i'm the
highest male schools. Let the State
University be made a University in fact,
rather than i'm mere name; and then let
such women so there and get the high
or draining needed for their special work
/ believe that co-education among add
vanced students is stimulating, refin-
ing and elevating. / do not believe i'm
State aid" 30 higher education. 1t does
injustice to taxpayers, and all poor child
rem. But / do believe i'm co-education
and am glad that the State University
has offered this needed help to aspiring
women.
Many thoughtful people, deeply in
terested in female education, believe that
the trustees of Wake Forest College
made a great mistake, in not opening that
institution 10 the higher education o. wo-

THE "WUNK" DOG
Il Is of Species Raised in China for
FooJ. -...

II Is of a Species Raised in China tor
Food. -s+.
There has always been a certain
amount of doubt in exclusive circles
Of society concerning the desirabillty
of introducing choice bits of dog in
the menus of great banquets, and the
same kind of meat has been generally
tabooed at afternoon teas and omitted
from the bills of fare of swell restau-
rants. But that does not necessarily
mean that the meat Of the noble com
panion does not offer attractions as
an edible for many people. Hundreds
and even thousands Of people raise
as large families of dogs as can be
found in the near vicinity of the pow
erty-stricken darkYs homo for the
sole purpose Of eating the same when
the proper time arrives. True, these
people donot compose therepresenta-
tive elements of society, but such a
delightful occupation commands a
certain amount of respect.
Itwasin the northern part of China
that the populace yies with one an
other In preparing the choice outlets
Of dog, and for generations they have
been raising dogs there with the same
purpose in view as the sheep raiser OF
this country. The edible dog of that
country has q distinctive name, being
known as the "wunk" dog, and when
ready for slaughter resemblesa young
bear morethan dog Hundreds upon
hundreds Of these dogs are raised, and
many times they have materially
aided IN warding off hunger and fam
inc. They attain a weight of 80 or 40
pounds, and the meat is said to be
sweet and nourishing. - Chicago
