The color has nothing to do with the

One of the most picturesque and de-
lightful sections of North Carolina, is
what is known as the Sapphire Country.
This section is located near Brevard,
N. c., at an average altitude of 5000
feet, and abounds in many beautiful
streams and grand water falls.
OF the many attractive features, per-
haps one of the most interesting and
picturesque points are Fairfield and
Sapphioe Lakes. No where else in
the south at this altitude are there
such bodies of water. There are tow
ering cliffs, rising abruptly for thou
sand foot from their shores and cas-
dades of rare beauty falling directly
into the lakes from the lofty table land
surrounding.
On account of the elevation of this
section, it is very healthy and particu-
larly adapted to those troubled with
hay fever, being also free from all ma
laria or other diseases. A record of
the temperature kept at Sapphire for
four years, shows an average of 60 de-
grees for the entire summer.
Sapphire Inn, Fairfield Inn, and the
Lodge, afford excellent accommoda-
tions for guests.
For further information regarding
the Sapphire country, call on any agent
of the Southern railway, or write @. A.

Asheville, N. C.
Few regions have been, are richly
endowed by nature than that famous
section of Western North Carolina
practically termed the Land OF the
Sky" 1t has a climate so dry and
health giving that it has become known
the world over as natural sanitarium
for the cure of oil troubles of pulmon-
ary nature.
Asheville, the centre of this beauti-
full mountain-homed plateau, is the
highest city east of Denyer, and is o
busy, thriving place of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, with all the moderisms of city
life. The city lies just at the point
where the beautiful Frence Broad and
Swannanoa rivers JOIN their crystal
waters.
Within the city or in its suburbs
many people Of wealth have built beau
tiful and expensive homes, most nota-
BILE among them being the chateau of
Mr.. George W. Vanderbilt, which with
its great estate, has cost upwards of
four million dollars.
Asheville is an all-the-year sesort,
for the great mountains protect it in
the winter from the cold winds, and
its sumer climate is made delightful
because of its altitude.
For descriptive matter of Asheville
and vicinity call on any Southern Rail-
way agent.

The odor, so disagreeable in some
brands of Fertilizers, has nothing to do
with the amount of either acid, potash
or nitrogen which they contain. Where
taukage is used in the manufacture OF
a Fertilizer, the decayed animal matter
emits very disagreeable odor. Where
no tankage fsh-scraps are used no
offensive odor is emitted.
Why do some Fertilizers rot or burn
the sacks?
Acid alone will not burn or rota sack,
but when the acid is mixed with pot
ash it will eat up a sack in few hours.
Ammoniated goods are not apt to eat
up sacks unless the amount Of potash
contained is large.

HOME FOR CONSERVATIVES
COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO LOOK
INTO MATTER.
Necessity for Segregation and Care OF
Patients Strongly Urged at Meeting
Held Yesterday.

This is the committee appointed to
find a suitable side for home for
conservatives and to determine the
cost of it's establishment and opera
ton: President Dole, chairman; Dr..
G. b. Wood, DR.. George Herbert and
George w. Smith.
The meeting from which the COM
mittee received it's powers was held in
the office of President Dole at 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Present were
the members of the cabinet, members
of the board of health, trustees of the
Queens hospital and several outsiders
interested in the subject.
Speaking of the proposed hospital,
President Dole referred to memorial
sent by the Queens hopital last year
to the Legislature in the interest of a
consumptive ward. AT that time there
was serious objection on the part of
the neighbors to the establishment of
the ward on the hospital premises. The
matter was not taken up by the Leg
islature, and still remained in the
same position. In the past year there
had been a marked advent of people
afflicted with consumption and like
diseases into Honolulu and there had
apparently been an increase locally.
The need for the home was becoming
more pressing.
DR.. Wood and others remarked upon
the danger to the community at large
of being without home for the prop
err segregation and care of persons af-
flicted with consumption. The disease
was CONTAGIOUS. Many people do not
realize it and are guilty of the grossest
carelessness in dealing with it. 1t was
the duty of the government and the
board of health to supply the means
so that consumptives could be, as far
as possible, segregated.
At this junCture the motion to refer
to a committee obtained.
At o'clock, anahOur earlier, the sub
ject of a new cemetery was pretty
thoroughly discussed. Objections hav-
opinion in favor of that site was not
so unanimous as it had been some days
before. DR.. Day reasoned in favor of
going still further from town, perhaps
to the neighborhood of Pearl City.
President Smith. of the board of
health, offered the Halawa plan as the
most desirable. He stated it's good
points and also the objections to it
that had been raised. A tract in Pala-
ma was mentioned and a suggestion of
a site near Diamond Head was refer
red to.
Following a lengthy discussion, in
which most of those present took part,
the following committee was appoint
ed to examine all the propositions,
look into other plans, if any We're pre-
scented, and to report back: Dr. Day
and George W. Smith, for the board of
health: A. s. Cleghorn and II. NJ. Won
Holt. for the cemetery association:
President Dole and Attorney General
Smith, for the executive council.

BEEF FIT FOR THE GODS.
Armour Employees Sing Its Praises
to the AlEcr Relief Board.

The Alger Relief Commission worked
hard yesterday in the defense of the Sec
retary of War. Several of the slaughterers
and packers who sold meat to the Govern
ment for issue to the troops were put on
the stand 10 testify that they did no wrong;
that they sold first-class goods, and that
those persons who differed from them as TO
the quality of the meat were mistaken.
Several of the employees OF Armour e
Co. gave testimony in favor OF Armour
beef. Arthur Bleecker, manager Tor Mr..
Armour, described the manner of selecting,
buying, inspecting and slaughtering the
cattle and the method of refrigerating
and shipping the beef.
He denied that any chemicals were used
in this meat. The witness said that the
inventor of the alleged embalming process
had bought two beeves from branch
house of the Armour Company in Florida.
This inventor. he had understood. expert
mented with the meat. The packing firm
had no connection with the transaction
other than TO sell the beef. He submitted
a number OF testimonials from commissary
officers commencing the quality OF the beef
and the prompt service OF Armour a. co.
Some of these letters were read before the
commission and others turned over to the
secretary that they might be made part
of the record.
Eastern NdHdBtl tOuEtI gave ttStiIipilS
that was pleasing to the commission. Other
employees OF the beef company did what
they could to strengthen the cause OF Sec
retary Alger.
Edwin Tiden. secretary of the Libbey.
Mcneil & Libbey Packing Company, OF
Chicago, was called before the commission
to tell of the merits OF canned roast beef.
He gave an eloquent argument in favor of
this alleged article of food. The meat, he
said, was boiled for twenty or thirty min
utes before being put in the cans for roast
ing. The liquor in which the beef was
boiled was condensed and used as base
for soups. He declared that If this beef
were properly canned it would remain good
for 100 years. He declared that no chemi-
Gals We're used in the preparation OF timed

Professor Atwater, OF the Department OF

the meat did not impair its nutritive quail
ties and that he considered it good food.

WHAT THEY ARE.
Composition of the Famous New
Food.
Found at GrocerS'.

a widespread interest has been created
among good livers as to the composition of
Grape Nuts. the new food that has come
Into popular use of late 1t has long been
known to physicians chemists and food
experts that the starchy portion of entire
wheat -four and barley is transformed into
Il true and very choice sugar by the act OF
intestinal digestion in the human body.
This sugar is identical with and is known
as ape-sugar and it is in condition for
immediate transformation into blood and
the necessary structure from which the
delicate nerve centers are built up.
A food expert of the Postum Cereal Co,
Lin, Battle Creek, Mich, followed line
of experiments until he produced the food
called Grape Nuts. of which grape sugar
forms the principal part and ii is produced
by following out Natures processes, in a
mechanical way.
The new food has n charming flavor and
can be served instantly either cold with
cream, or, by pouring hot milk or cream
over ii, one has a hot mush at once. 1t
