How to Build a Town.

The following sensible advice is
worthy of thought by every man who
desires to see his town grow "The best
way to build up a town is to stand by
every man in the place who does right.
All citizens are in q large sense part
ners and should not be opponents. No
matter what your calling, the more
business your rival is doing the more
you will do. Legitimate aggressive
ness in business life . something
quite different from slandering or 9th
erwise attempting to pull down the
other fellow. Every business man who
treats his customers honestly and cour-
~teously will get bis share. In other
words, organization and u pull together
are what counts in building n town as
they do in individual business. The
concern where there is not harmony of
action among the partners will not
prosper. The city where there is lack
of organized effort, where individual
citizens abuse their town and exalt 9th
ers, creating the impression that their
own is a bad one, will not p~rogress."-

Accuracy in Prescriptions.

A broader term than many suppose.
Some people imagine it relates only to
chemicals or preparations bearing the
same name as that appearing on the
prescription. This is one step only.
To complete the sense of the term each
ingredient must be pure-must be ca
pablo of exerting the highest medical
effect. We believe in accuracy of this
kind. 1t has given the esteem of the
physicians and the confidence of the
public. Will take coed care of your
prescription. We don't charge extra for
this carefulness. Accuracy is here.

A Froverb Calendar for 1900.

Each year when we receive the Hoods
Sarsaparilla Calendar we wonder how
it is possible to originate such clever
designs. The 'Proverb Calendar it
self is suspended in front OF Two little
tots, one robed in delicate pink and the
other in blue. On the reverse side
are the usual astronomical calculations
and other facts. The Calendar is made
to stand alone on desk or table, or it
may be suspended on the wall. You
should be sure TO get one of these CAL
endars from your druggist, or one will
be mailed to you by sending 6 cents in

The North Carolina Experiment Sta
ton has been investigating canned
foods to see what, if any, injurious sub
stances were nsad rs ~prcservatives.
Eleven samples OF canned fruits from
eleven different packers were examined
and all were found to contain salicylic
acid and s%ulphurous acids. Twenty
samples Of canned vegetables were ex-
aaained and twelve were found to con-
tain injurious p~reservatives. TIE sam
piles were purchased in the open market
and analysed in the chemical laboratory
of the Station. The most dangerous
poisons to be found in canned foods was
not subjected to test, namely, those
resulting from the corrosion of the lead
contained in the TIN plating and the
solder. The results OF this investigation
only confirms the view that the people
are entitled to the protection of laws
that will insure them against dangerous
sophistication of common articles of
food.

Lucky Fishermen.

For man who never cast a fly or
trolled troll, two gentlemen living on
Florence street are about the luckiest
fishermen yet reported. Monday night
a hen wriggled under piazza and dis

Tuesday morning, the work of effecting
a rescue was begun. After removing
enough boards to see under the piazza
hole, a sort of shaft, that looked as if
il might have been a boring for well
that never was completed. was dis
covered. No one whereabouts had known
Of its existence. A faint new from its
depths suggested that there was a
bottom, also that a poor kitten had
found it; likewise. the possibility that
the missing hen might he in a plight
similar to that Of the cat. After sew
eral unsuccessful attempts. lantern
was lowered so that both hen and cat
could be indistinctly discerned. The
first fisherman spliCed two poles at ono
end of which he arranged a loop, and
at the depth of II feet reached bottom
After some fishing he caught the loop
about the leg of the hen and fished her
to light once more, to the dumfounding
of bystanders who ridiculed the at
tempt. OF course it was the merest
good luck that the loop was caugh;
about that hens leg. But what is fish
ing. anyway. except the merest luck D.?
The next thing in order was to get

to afford foothold. was lowered.
Pussy refused to climb. And they low

Nothing offered induced. the cat to
climb to liberty. until, at the suggcs-
ton of the second fisherman. water
was poured down. After the third
pailful. scramble was heard in the
depths, the wire was pulled up and
along with it pussy. And so tragedy
was averted and the rescuers were
better pleased than the captors of the
biggest string of fish brought in this
season.
