HOW TO GROW THIN,

If you would grow much thinner,
observe the following rules as to
diet: Firmly turn your face away
from all farinaceous foods, and
everything in which starch is found
refuse.
Potatoes in every form are your
worst foes, and sugar is bound to
fatten you.
Cold water in excess will add to
your embonpOint. and tea and
coffee with your meals will increase
your weight.
Never touch fresh bread-eat of
any as little as will suffice.
Toast very slightly buttered will
be an excellent substitute for bread.
Candy and cake, rich buildings,
made with milk especially, are not
for you. Fruit-eat of all kinds pro-
durable. Eat all the green vege-
tables, poultry and rare meat you
desire. Cultivate taste tor Apolli-
naris and Vichy; wine and liquors
reject.
Drink beverages with lemon or
lime juice when you creve something
beside iced water.
Be active; walk briskly, and see
that the waste matter OF the body is
properly eliminated from the system
The exact reverse will tend to in.
crease the avoirdupois of the slender
woman.

THE DUKES FOR SETTLE.
The Republican Conference Held In
Greensboro on Sunday.

During a conference of Republicans,
held in Greensboro on Sunday, it was
decided to hold the Congressional and
Judicial Conventions for that district
at Graham on August 18th.
Adams Congressional friends are
quoted as saying that they can beat
him for the nomination for Judge and
that if he don't stand up to the rack
for Congress he will get nothing. A
report has been current in Greensboro
for a week or more that the Dukes
have said that if Settle was not nomi-
mated they would not put cent in the
campaign pot: that Adams must get
out of the way or they would see that
he was run over and mashed fiat, but
if Adams would content himself with
running for Judge, they would see that
he was treated white.
On the other hand Adams friends
say Tom is not the man: that he is not
| acceptable to the President: that some
months ago all the Republicans
| friends and enemies petitioned the
| President to appoint him to some mil
/ itary position, but that he declined anC
gave some excellent reasons for no
doing so. In fact these reasons wer,
so strong that his friends took thei
| hats and told the President good-day

The People Must Decide

Lexington DlSpaLcn.
The time is not far distant when
the tax payers, who are the sovereign
rulers, will be called upon to say
whether they want to retain in
office the men who have put grievous
burdens upon the people. 1t is
strange that these political jockies
think they can again fool the people
and grow fat out of the earnings OF
the very men who put them where
they are. Unless all signs fail the
people will both Deweyize and Hob
sonize the whole kit and billing at the
first opportunity. The hypocritical
flag of the fusion self-seeking bosses
must come down from the moro OF
the people. The voters of all parties
say this. The people are supreme
and whatever they say must be done.

TO SENTINEL SUBSCRIBERS.

Mr.. L. l.. Thomas, is now on the
War path for THE SENTINEL, prepared
to exchange receipts for cash for past
due and new subscriptions and we
bespeak for him a rushing business.
The subscription price of THE sENTI-
MEL is very low and the paper trust
is making US pay more for paper, the
fact is we must get our subscription
list closer to cash basis. The farmer
cannot afford to sell his products on
long credit. The paper is our product
and we cannot afford to sell it on long
time So we urge prompt settlement
of amounts now due.

TELL THE TRUTH.

More than once we have directed
attention to the incorrect and sec
tional histories in use in many of our
schools, whereby our children are
taught falsehoods for facts in con
nection with the events of the civil
war-histories that are frauds and
travesties upon truth, in that they
either deliberately falsify or distort
facts until they convey an erroneous
impression, some of them written,
probably, for the express purpose Of
catering to the popular favor of the
North and of escaping the rantank-
erous criticism of the bloody shirt
waivers, now, happily, not 80 numer-
OBS as when these histories were
written and placed upon the market.
We haye also asserted, and now
reassert, that the Southerner does
not ask that the history of that
period he colored in his favor. He
asks for no Misunderstanding
perversion of facts to turn defeats
into victories and no apologies
He wants the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, and this
is the kind Of history he would have
his children taught.
The valor and fortitude of the
southern soldier will stand unsur
passed under the m ost brilliant RAYS
of the searchlight of scrutiny and it
is high time that Southern schools
should discard so-called histories
that seek to dim the achievements OF
the one side and magnify those of
the other side.
We notice that the Confederate
Veterans at their recent reunion
warned the people of the South
against such histories. In this con-
nection the veterans of the Twelfth
Georgia regiment issued an address,
in which attention is called to the
fact that one of the so called his
tories prints a picture representing
the capture of the battle6ag of the
Twelfth Georgia 10y captain of the
One Hundred and Second New York
and these veterans declare that "this
picture is a SANDER on one of the
best regiments in history" and they
appeal to the honest patriots of re-
united Union to have this false state
ment corrected.
Referring to this incident, the At.
lanta Journal says:
"The instance referred to in this
address is only one of many in which
absolute falsehoods about the war
have been published in the guise OF
historical facts and illustrations.
| No honest man, North or South,
will teach his son a lie, whether it re.
fer to the war or any .other subject
And yet we see in this instance pub
fishing house endeavoring to falsify
history in the grossest and most con
temptible manner. Both the armies
of the North and the armies of the
South won enough glory when they
/ fought each other to make them fa-
NOUS for all the years to come. The
men who thus enriched DIR history
and elevated American manhood il
the eyes of the world despise the his.
torical liar"

THE CANTEEN.

In a recent letter to the News and
Observer, Fred L. Merritt, writing
from the camp of the First North
Carolina regiment, at Jacksonville,
Fla, says:
"The North Carolina legimental
canteen is now doing very little bust
ness and there is talk of closing it
altogether. The falling off in bust
ness this month is due to three
things: Persistent petitioning and
letter-writing by wives and mothers
of soldiers; the abominable quality
of the beer sold there, aud the dis
covery of the fact by the soldiers
that even the best quality of malt or
alcoholic drinks are Injurious to
health in this climate. The surgeons
have been trying to impress this
upon the men ever since they have
been in camp"
The non patronage of the canteen,
or camp barroom, is gratifying. In
view of it's demoralizing tendency
and the evidence of surgeons that
malt and alcoholic beverages are in
furious to the health of the soldiers,
it is amazing that the government
ever granted permission for the
establishment of the canteen, and
that it's continuance is permitted. II
| ignorance of it's baneful effects could
have been pleaded at first, this
reason cannot be advanced now in
the face of the testimony of the
army surgeons, from a sanitary view
and the persistent petitioning and
letter-writing by wives and moth
ers," from a moral view.
Let the canteen go.

THE CUBANS.

Old man Gercia's getting his back
up because Shafter would not let the
Cubahs have a regular Sherman
marching-through- Georgia time at
Santiago has had the effect of great
ly reducing the fever of sympathy for
the oppressed Cubans, who, it seems,
would be as oppressive as their
oppressors If they had the power,
and who appear to be actuated by
the old, cruel idea of an eye for an
eve, tooth for n tooth, etc.
This is the impression made by a
surface view of the apparently re-
vengeful and ungrateful action of the
Cuban General, who is supposed to
| reflect the sentiment among his men
| or, Mt least, that the impulses of his
men are of no more elevated charac-
ter than those of their leader. 1t
may be, however, that the American
| people are too severe in their criti.
cisms, if not lacking in a proper
degree of charity-that they measure
! by too high standard, and find
I wanting, the semi savages for whose
elevation in the scale Of humanity
the United States is lending the
power of it's army and navy.
We confess, however, that in the
face of the sacrifices that are being
made by this country in behalf OF
| the Cubans, such antics as are being
cut by Garcia have a tendency to
| cool ardor and at the same time
create apprehensions of considerable
trouble, if not open outbreaks on the
part of the Cubans, while the Unite
| States is prosecuting it's humane
purposes with respect to them.
In an editorial, under the caption
of "The Truth About the Cubans,' -
| the Washington Post says:
| "As a matter of fact the Cubans
are neither as heroic nor as worthless
az they have been painted. While
among them are doubtless men OF
undaunted bravery and devotion to
the cause they have fought for so
many years, the masses Of the
| Cubans are not as advanced in
morale as the American negroes be
fore the war. They are merely what
their Spanish masters have made
| them, and too much should not be
| expected of them. 1t would be
strange it, after the treatment they
| have received for centuries, they
should not be savage, merciless and
revengetul, and their principal idea
of the results of victory is the oppor
tuuity for plumber, rapine and slaugh.
| ter"
Referring to future dealings with
the Cuban problem, the Post is frank
enough to say that it is generally ad.
mitted that the United States made
a grave mistake in admitting the
! outhern slaves to citizenship i'm me
diately after their emancipation, and
adds that this mista twill hardly
be repf ated by throwing the respon.
sibility OF self-government upon the
| Cubans az soon aS they are freed from
| Spanish rule. They must be led gent.
| ly and gradually out of the atmos
| phere of feudal despotism in which
they have existed all their lives, and
instructed in the ways of civilized de
mocracy before they will be fitted tC
hold the reins of government un-
| aided
