He's Puzzled to Know How the Dewey
House Got It's Name.
Col. Fred A. Odds says Hendersonville
is the most up-to-date town in the
State.
In what respect?" ! asked.
1T has a hotel named the Dewey
House." he continued. They give you
mountain dew at your meals instead OF
buttermilk, and nobody was able to
tell me whether the hotel was named
for this beverage or whether it was in
honor of the great admiral
And this is not ALL he added.
Indeed
no sir. they have lots of carriages
and other vehicles in Hendersonville
and they'll take you anywhere you
want to go for five cents. Now in
Raleigh they charge % cents and I'm
certain the Hendersonville man makes
the most money. He hauls more peo-
pie. Though there are only 200 peo-
pie living in Hendersonyille, there are
LOO visitors there"

Where did he tell you to take it?''
ITO de bo'din' house"
What boarding house?"
Dunno"

The little fellow, however, seemed to
seriously doubt the statement, for he
left the watermelon there and kept
standing around. Finally he took it up
and went aimlessly away.

Rubber and Rnbber-Trce.

An English artist discovered, in
ITO, that the new gum was admir-
ably adapted for rubbing out pencil
marks. He wrote paper on the
subject, and informed his contem-
poraries that a cubic inch of this sub
stance, costing only 3s., would last
purpose in England than effacing
lead pencil marks for about half
century after this discovery, hence
the name "rubber." After the in
PRODUCTION of the raw material and
the scientific d scription of the plant
by Frenchmen, 1t was first manufac-
tured into waterproof clothing in
France towards the end Of the 18th
century. Later on, the firm Of
Macintosh, Of Manchester, manu-
featured into waterproofs on large
scale; hence the name macintosh for
waterproof coats. The raw material
was formerly exported in shape Of
shoes and bottles.
The knowledge Of the properties
of the juice of rubber trees goes back
several centuries among the natives
of Central and South America, ac-
cOrding to the Spanish explorers; it is
even asserted that shoes were made
Of the dried juice. The first intro
ductiOn among us Of shoes, which
were of light color and very rigid in
cold weather, is within the memory
of old persons now living. 1t was
not until 1913 that Goodyear diScov-
cred the process of "vulcanizing' the
material, that is, of mixing sulphur
with it under hot rollers, whereby it
becomes permanently elastic and
dark In color.
The best rubber is known as Para
rubber from South America, and is
the product of the "hevea" tree,
which is not con Ipicuous, and re-
senbles many other forest trees.
People have travelled for thousands
of miles through the rubber region
and have lived for years in the
center of the industry without MOTTO
ing 1t. The new conner invariably
expects to see the familiar glossy
dark-green leaves Of the "hcus"
"a rubber-producing species of the fig
genus, common as a h"use plant and
is disappointed with the Insignificant
appearance of the "hevea." In APP
pearance it is more like the English
lash" than anything else. 1t grows
to height Of upwards of 60 feet.
The leaves are trifOliate. The Bios
soming season is in August.
There are many varieties of elastic
gums, produced inIaIl tropical parts
Of the world, which are chemically
allied, but obtained from many
varieties of several orders of plants,
and used for different purposes in
commerce. The gums are commonly
divided into two classes, namely,
india-rubber and gutta-percha. The
principal commercial difference ia
that india-rubber is elastic, whereas
gu ta-percha becomes hard and
inelastic when kept in cool tenn
perature. For this reason the latter
is used for the insulation of SUBJ
marine cables.-POpulGr Science

DR.. KeIler's Address.

The third address to the Economic
Department of the Woman's Club
was delivered by DIR. ii. S. Keller,
Tuesday, 18th.
The doctor first defined "health" Il
''the harmonious relation of all the
organs OF the body dependent upon
the harmonious relation of the in
dividual CELL" and "disease" as the
effects produced by any agent or force,
physical or mental, that deranges
said harmonious action; he referred
to the generally, though not uni
versally, accepted creed, that the
germ theory "best accounts for dis.
ease, particularly infectious and cons
tagious." Germs or bacteria are, since
they absorb n0urishment throug h
the exterior surfaces of cell walls,
vegetable organisms, which NOR
phologically may be grouped into
three genera "Bacilli, rod shaped"

Dangers Of the Grip.

The greatest danger from LaGrippe
is of its resulting in pneumonia. If

Among the tens of thousands
who have this remedy for la
grippe we have yet to learn of II sin
gle case having resulted in pneumO-

this remedy is certain preventative
of that dangerous disease. 1t will
cure la grippe in less time than any
other treatment. 1t is pleasant and

that Franklin county tobacco sells
well:
This was shown in sale of Frank
lin county tobacco at the Pickett
Warehouse, where the record price
of Sl1.25 was received for one hogs
head, and number of other sales
were mode rs high as $l4. The 81. 25
hogshead belonged to the crop of
Walker Quire, whose five hogsheads
sold as follows: SIPS, Sl4.50, $3.50,
$500, $500. The average for leaf,
Tugs and trash was thus $ll.55, which
is the best vet reported. At the same
sale Tracy a. Cook got $14.50 for one
hogshead, and William Woodward,
n. III. Bryant and w. M. Moore
each received Sl4 for the best hogs.

bacco was from Franklin county and

We publish an advertisement of
KODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE in our col
umns this issue. and wish to say to
our patrons that we believe this prep
aration is worthy Of a trial by any
person suffering from this agoniziny
complaint. We honestly believe this
preparation will do for you all the
manufacturers claim for it.
KODOL DYSPEPSIA CURE is pre-
pared by the well known and reli-
able firm Of +. G. Dewitt & Co.,
Chicago, and from our long expert
ence, in business sense, with this
firm as advertisers, we feel safe i'm
saying, that they would not place on
the market preparation for the cure
of Dyspepsia unless they had a rem
edy of the highest merit, and consci-
entiously believed it would cure this
well known and almost universal
complaint. y
We further add that if this prepa-
ration isequal to the other well known
remedies which they make, viz:
DeWitt's Little Early RiserS, De-
Wits Witch Hazel Salve, and One
Minute Cough Cure, it will speedily
win its way into public favor.
We cheerfully and heartily give
our personal endorsement to this con-
cern, and the reliability of the goods
they manufacture, which have been
largely the means Of their success,
and in writing this voluntary en-
dorsement on our part, we feel that
we are simply performing "A duty
which we owe to our patrons.
