Why do some of the bricks in the
sidewalks break more readily than
others in the winter" was asked Of
brickmaker. Thursday night. There
are several different kinds of burns
that we get on brick" he replied.
"A brick that is burned hard can be
placed in water and it will not absorb
a particle. On the other hand. a soft
burned brick will absorb quantities of
water. This latter brick, in the winter.
will take in the water which freezes
and your brick breaks. So you see the
hard-burned. good brick is the cheaper
of the two for service You will no.
tice the difference in sidewalk.
Some of the bricks during a storm will
shed the water while others will dry
and spongy as the water is going into

II once recommended a colored cor
poral in my troop for a medal of honor
and he got it," said a veteran officer
the other evening at the Augusta
House 1T was during the Sioux up
rising in 1892. My troop was on a
scout and we fell into an ambush with
the Reds. We got as warm a reception
as one wanted. Seeing that We would
all be put out of business shortly, I'M
less we got reinforcements. I called the
Indian scouts and told them l wanted
a dispatch sent for more troops from
the post, about three miles distant.
They sulked and refused to go. Just
then a corporal came up. saluted. and
said: Lieutenant, I'll take that dis
patch l thanked him and after Civ
ing him the best horse in the outfit and
bidding him farewell-as l never ex-
pected to see him alive again-he
mounted and was off. I never watched
such race before. The Reds simply
sent a shower of lead after him and
tried to cut him off, but that fellow
was a daisy. He reached the post in
safety and just as he entered his horse
dropped dead. He delivered the dis
patch. and in short time several
troops We're sent to the rescue. Upon
our return Immediately recommended
him for medal. which he received.
The joke Of it all was that after re-
ceiving the medal he deserted"

The time is rapidly approaching
in the history Of fraternal Orders
when most of the increase of MEM
hership will be obtained through
the efforts of trained deputies.
Many of the Orders are paying large
salaries and putting as large force
in the field as their funds will per-
init. New societies are springing
up on every hand with procpectuses
that promise great advantages over
other Orders for small outlay.
Many of these will undOubtedly y
have to change their plan of opera
ton or come to grief. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, they succeed in obtain
ing members and help to increase
the competition that our Order has
to contend with. This makes it all
the more necessary for our deputies
to be especially trained in their line
of work. They must not only he
posted in our own history aud the
advantages our plan of working
possesses, but they must keep in
formed in regard to other societies
with which they come in competi-
ton, not for the purpose of decry-
ing others but in order that they
may be able to detect false state
ments, and be able to meet argu-
ments that are advanced against
our own organization. A deputy in
the field has many things to con-
tend with in the furtherance of his
J Order. He may be ever so well in
formed and aggressive in his work
| yet he will meet with many disap'
| pointments where he expected tC
win great successes. Few realize
the energy and perseverance it re-
quires to succeed in the field work
The assistance of our members
should be given them in their work
as they are sent ont in the special
! interest of the Lodges, Golden RoO

comes so soon to this tragic end.
If men would only take the most COM
mon sense precautions against the en-
croachmeuts of ill-health, there would be
fewer houses of mourning, and fewer
women left alone almost helpless before
the battle of life is half over. A mans
liver and stomach are twin machines that
work together. either to make or uumake.
If they work wrong, they deplete and
poison his blood. Impure and impover.
ished blood xeau sickness and death. If
they work right, they purify and enrich
the blood A man whose blood is rich and
pure, and whose liver Is active cannot well
be unhealthy. Headaches, biliousness, in
digestion and costiveness, which men gen
orally disregard, are Natures warnings
that the twin mechanism, stomach and
liver, is working against, instead OF for
him. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry is the best medicine to use under these
circumstances. 1t creates appetite, cor
rects all disorders of the digestion, invigor
ates the liver and fills the arteries with
rich, red, healthy blood. As an invigorat-
ing restorative tonic, it Is far superior to
all the malt extracts. 1t is the great blood
maker and flesh builder. 1t does not build
sickly, fabby fat as cod liver oil does, but
the firm muscular tissues of health.

Organization colors are at the

a very conspicuous part in all deco

lectively Of American origin all

found that patriotism has crept into

Individual effort is what is want
ed from every member of frater-
nal society. There is no one so
isolated in the world but what they
have acqnaintances and influence
with them, and they should exert
this influence in an endeavor to Sc
cure their application for member
ship in their Lodge. If each mem
ber would just get one new member
per year, the society would double
it's membership, and it's not an un-
reasonable request to ask for one
new member per year.-Plank and

A person should never retreat
from a position, when he is in the
right. First, be sure you are right
and then stand firm. 1t is no dis
grace to fall or to be defeated in a
good cause. The drummer boy who
did not know how to beat retreat,
saved the army from defeat. 1t is
well sometimes not to know how to
beat retreat, but it is always well
to know how TO beat a charge.
There are times in our camps that
the officers and members become
discouraged and want to retreat.
That in the time TO beat charge.
When we have to face adverse con
ditions, we should summons every
power at our command, and by
pressing forward, we will in the end
be rewarded by seeing the flag OF

The National, Fraseraa, Congress


The National Fraternal Congress.
the 18th Annual Session of which
will be held at Chicago, commenc-
ing the 22nd day of August next,
and continuing four days, is COM
posed of representatives sent by
the varinns fraternal Orders, and is
the best and highest authority in
the world on all matters connected
with Fraterual Insurance Each
Order sends it's best material as del
egates, Consequently the member
ship ranks high, and the Congress
well deserves the distinction of be-
ing II Supreme Court in fraternal-
ism. With such standing and
such an immense constituency its
vast importance can scarcely be
overestimattd Yet the member
ship at large, the rank and file OF
the various Orders take little note
of it's doings, and may scarcely
know of it's existence.
When we consider that organized
fraternalism numbers many mil
lions of members, and what i'm
mense financial interests are in
huenced by the actions of this con
gress, it is a matter of wonder that
go few take personal interest in its
sessions. They should be attended
not only by the officials of local
societies, but the membership should
in large numbers attend.

The Uninsured Man is Dead.

Yes, he died unexpectedly-most
men do. He expected To live to
make provision for his family. He
thought well of the Order az n
means, and intended some time to
Join it, but there was time enough
vet, and besides, there was always
an outlet for money, the very reason
why the small amount necessary
should have been taken in spite of
al i else. But he died, aud how
stood the account He left a weep
ing widow, anxiously foreboding
the future of the little ones at her
knee. He left unpaid grocery,
clothing and rent bills that had ac-
cumulated in life. He left the doc
tors bill of no value, funeral ex-
penses that must he IN t by charity
and many little bills that increase
even in II short sickness. He left
naturally good neighbors who re-
sponded to the emergency, though
grumbling inwardly because he was
not insured and left an unnecessary
burden on them. He left another
striking instance of the sin and
folly of procrastinaiion, he left only
All empty pocketbook, a blank saw
ings bank book, and even mort
gage on his home, but had he left
in their stead the benefit certificate
of the Order, The waeping wid"w
would have said, chow kind, how
thoughtful of me and mine"
His memory in the community
would have been fragrant, for all
would have said, "he did what he
could" The sorrowing home would
have had streak OF light, the dark
cloud a silver lining. The widow
would have taken up her burden
With lighter heart. The future Of
the children would have been vastly
more hopeful. II is possible that
any reader may put off joining the

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUI OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants. by method

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

There are some figures and facts that
are always interesting.
Royal Baking Powder is shown by
the I. S. Government tests to yield
1905 cubic inches of leavening gas Der

found in any other powder.
The alum powders were shown to
yield about GO cubic inches.
Is it not economy to use the Royal.
even though the alum powders should
cost but half as much?
Again. Royal is pure cream of tartar
baking powder. recommended by health
officers and physicians because the food
raised by it is rendered more digestible
and healthful.
Alum baking powders are condemned
by physicians and boards of health as
unwholesome. Their continued use will
eventually cause serious digestive
troubles.
Therefore there is both health and
economy in the use of the Royal. Is it
not imperative, the actual wholesome
ness of the food being at stake. that you
should stubbornly reject the injurious
and employ the healthful agent?

HOSIERY MILL TALK.
General Carr Explains the Report OF
the Removal.
durham Herald.)

durham Herald.l
There has been much talk about the
probability of the removal of the Dur
ham Hosiery mill from this city. to Ra-
leigh Few have been able to ace why
the mill should be removed or What Gen.
Carr would gain by the removal. The
following card from Gen. Carr gives some
reasons for the proposed removal:
1.-THE business of the Durham Hosiery
company has outgrown its present ac-
cOmmodations. 1t occupies n rented build
ing, which it situated off from the rail
road so that all of the coal consumed
must be carried TO the factory. which. in
these days of sharp competition is no in
considerable item.
Beside this, | am dcsirOils Of inrreas-
ing the size of the mill about fifty per
cent. | am one Of the largest owners Of
a cotton mill in Raleigh This mill spins
hosiery yarns particularly suited to the
business Of the Durham Hosiery mills.
To buy these yarns i'm Raleigh means
freight on every pound Of yarns the Dur
ham Hosiery mills knit.
Since circumstances force me to re-
move the business from the present build
ing and build larger and more suita-
BILE factory somewhere. Il moments con-
sideration would convince almost anyone
that it would, at least be wise for me to
consider locating the mill at Raleigh.
where ! should be NEXT door to my sup
ply of yarns.
Il may not remove the mill from Dur
ham at all: | have not Said | would.
may erect the factory building here. But
| am frank enough to say that / am
considering the proposition Of removing
it. No one wants more mills in Dur
ham worse than | do. and / will add I
am expecting to build quite a large one

plans nliscarry.
