A Movable Fort,

One of the latest inventions for ser
vice in war times is called the war motor.
Being built on wheels it can be operated
by a very few men, and is strongly
recommended for seacoast defense. The
only medicine that is strongly recon-
mended by thousands OF grateful people,
who have used it as q defense against
all stomach, liver and kidney complaints,
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
cured them and will not fail in your
case. Try it, if you are a sufferer from
loss of appetite, headache, insomnia,
indigestion, dyspepsia, torpid liver,
constipated bowels, or kidney troubles,
and you will not be disappointed. Ask
your druggist for copy OF our 1903
Illustrated Almanac. 1t contains much
valuable and useful information and is
free of charge.

Caution 7

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally known
and remedy that has had the largest
sale of any medicine in the world since
1868 for the cure and treatment OF Con-
sumption and Throat and Lung troubles
without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we
called your attention to Boschee's Ger
man Syrup. There are go many ordin-
ary remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
Bronchitis, CrOup-and especially for
Consumption, where there is difficult ex-
pectoration and coughing during the
nights and mornings, there is nothing
like German Syrup. The % cent size
has just been introduced this year.

HOUSE.

20 doubt the record was broken in the
House yesterday for petitions on any one
subject.
Member after member would get up and
send in. not single petitions, but great
punches of petitions.
And they were practically all for TEN
perance legislation in one form or
another, many being specifically for the
London bill.
There was one lone and solitary little
one against the London bill.
A feature of the day was the passage of
Mr.. Drewry's bill requiring all trained
nurses to be licensed by the State.
Thus North Carolina has the distinc-
ton of being the first State in the Union
to require trained nurses to be exam
ined by a State Board before they are
allowed to practice.
The bill provides that until January
1st, 1904, nurses shall be eligible for Ii
cense and registration who arc twenty
three years or over, who hold certificates
of training from some Incorporated hos
pital or from a State Hospital for the IN
ttiAOs - 'Lio al VI oOI VI 1ouI
consecutive years Of experience in a hos
ital.
A State BOard of Examiners of Trained
Nurses is provided for, consisting of seven
members, three physicians, appointed by
the Governor from a list of seven sub
mitted by the State Medicai Society, and
four licensed nurses, members of the
North Carolina State Nurses Associa-
board is to examine the candidates for
license. 1t is to be elected for three
years.
Representative Smith, of Gates, intro
duced another liquor bill, covering the en-
tire question.
An act to legalize the Senatorial pri-
mary was introduced by Representative
Offman, of Randolph. 1t provides that
at every general election prior to the
time to elect a United States Senator. the
judges shall provide a box for the ballots
for Senatorial candidates. The vote thus
cast shall be counted III the same manner
as other votes.

 Handled the More Impor- tant Detailr.
BY GEORGE AIDE. Copyright, 1908, oy Robert Howard Russell)

Once there were two Nerve Specialists who had gone out into the Clover Belt to separate the Jays from their Bank Ac- counts.
 When they arrived in the High and Un- mown, they found that the gladsome Reub had been reading the Papers and their Scheme fiattened out. So they were trying to get back to New York.
 In any part of the U. S. A. when a Pneumatic Enterprise blows up and leaves a Napoleon of Finance hanging on to the ragged Edge of the Jumping-Off Place, his one Desire in Life is to make a Swift Touch for enough to carry him to Jersey City. He figures that he can swim the rest of the Way.
 The two polite Grafters were very keen to get back to the throbbing Metropolis, where so much is happening that one may go Broke without exciting Comment and where the Carnation in the Button Hole is often doing Double Turn with the expired Meal Ticket.
 But when they did the Committe on Ways and Means they found that they were sitting on the Hard Pan, with no Assets except some Laundry ready to be sent out and several Letters wishing them all kinds of Luck.
