Here is nugget of cogent advice
from the pen of thoughtful writer:
Girls, make companions of your
mothers. 1t will keep them young
and you happy. How can you ex-
pect any one to feel the interest in
you that they do? The world is run
largely on selfish principles, but there
is no thought of self in mothers
love. Those daughters who act
toward their mothers as younger sis
tiers are supremely fortunate, for
they enjoy not only the pleasantest
sort of camaraderie, but likewise are
certain of love and devotion that is
not founded upon the shifting sands
OF evanescent friendship or temporary
ardor. Talk to your mother, be with
her. show her your heart, and as GER
tain as the sun shines you will find
your life happier, your instincts
purer, and your conscience quieter
than if you feel that it is not neces-
sary to take the dearest one in all the
world into your confidence, and so 60
on drifting rudderlcss along, when
for the asking you might have the
sweetest companion to rejoice in
every joy and sympathize in every
sorrow"

The life Of the true citizen today
cannot be regulated or the country
governed from the school-room; bat,
happily, as The door leading out into
actual life the American youth is met
by another teacher, the American
press. with which it is we'll for his in
diligence and broadness of view if he
has already formed a familiar ac-
quaiutance. 1t is the greatest in
structor Of this or any other aye. Its
mission is to inform from dav to day
and week to week concerning all the
news and constant changing condi
tinns; to encourage. to admonish. to
protect and to inspire throughout all
the new activities and Responsible
ties of actual life,
There can be nothing nearer to the
hearts of the people. nothing of
greater interest or Importance, than
the proper training and instruction
Of the children and the youth of the
land. The press should help the
schools, and the schools should help
the newspaper. The teachers and
editors should have the closest affilia-
ton and friendship as co-workers in
education and character forming.

Death of an Infant,

On Thursday, September 4th, 1902,
the tender Shepherd gathered to His
bosom the little child of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. c. WOOdworth
1t was nine months old, and had
not seen well day.
The little one served glorious
mission, though IL very costly one to
itself. Its brief stay with the father
and mother and brother and their
friends gave them Il clearer insight
into the compassionate heart of the
Saviour, and mellOwed many hearts
by its heroic struggle with disease.
Having entwined it's delicate yet
Omnimpotent love tendrils about the
hearts of those who cherished it's life
SO faithfully, the heavenly visitor
went back home to rest forever and
to enjoy it's triumph and to inspire
the loved ones here to do their best
in LIES conflicts.
The parents feel profound graft

kindness through the long and anx-
ious watching by the suffering
infant J. S. WILLIAMS.

Profitable Advertising.
Only poor advertising is an ex-
pense. Good advertising is always

Jndicious advertising is desirable
investment. What's the use of having
anything for sale if the fact that you
have it is not made known?
Advertising is a faithful advocate,
and to the merchant whose trade is
dull and who desires TO increase his
business, advertising is like flame
in dark night.
II merchant were to close his
store and suspend business every
time trade lags, he would rightly be
branded as a simpleton. And yet
in what essential would he differ
from the advertiser who stops every
thing for the same reason?

Simple Remedy for Typhoid.
Charlotte News.

Charlotte News.
There appeared recently in this
column, mention Of some experiments
that are being conducted in Chicago
hospital with a new cure for typhoid,
called acetozone. That article has
brought out the information that
right here in the State for years, a
simple remedy has been used in one
eighborhood which is said to be eff
cacious and which does not depend
for its virtues upon intricate combi-
nations of little known chemical
agencies. The remedy in question is
Yeast. A reader of the News, one of
the States most distinguished citi-
zens, having read of the experiments
with typhoid cures, writes as fol-
lows:
81 note IN lA,e issue your article
on specific remedy for typhoid fever.
My father cured every case in his
neighborhood for years without a
single failure, by the administration
Of tablespoonful OF ordinary yeast
three times day. Hewas not apro-
fessional physician but large slave
holder and was compelled to know a
great deal of medical science. His
white neighbors were cured by the
same treatment.
''Typhoid fever. you know is
caused by bacilli in the lower intss-
tines. 1t is probable that yeast is
the antitoxine for them or at least
heals the ravages they make in the
inner coating of the intestine. 1t
can do no harm if some of your ply
sicians would test it. If unwilling to
risk the yeast alone, they might try
it in conjunction with ordinary rem
edies if they are not such as to neu-
tralize the effect of the yeast"
The remedy certainly bears the
charm of simplicity and there can be
no harm in it's use. The suggestion
comes from such high source that
we commend to the physicians OF
Charlotte trial of it in their prac-
tice.
