THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.
And May Be Heeded with Profit When Oc-
casiOn Is Presented.

Never 90 to bed with cold or damp
feet.
Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold.
Never begin journey until the
breakfast has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then
Immediately 60 out into the cold.
Hot vinegar will clean paint spat-
ters from windows and turpentine will
take off putty.
How to clean specks from gilt
frames. Wet small piece of flannel,
or soft brush in alcohol, and apply y
to the spot.
Never omit regular bathing, for un-
less the skin is in active condition the
cold will close the pores and favor con-
gestion and other diseases.
After exercise of any kind never
ride in an open carriage or near the
window OF car for moment; it is
dangerous to health, or even life.
Merely warm the back by the fire
and never continue keeping the back
exposed to heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do so is debili
tating.
The finest compilations in the world
are said to be in the Bermudas. This
is accounted for by the fact that the
inhabitants live almost entirely on
onions.

no meat; but eat less meat.
When going from a warm atmo'
sphere into cooler one keep the
mouth closed, 80 that the air may be
warmed in its passage through the
nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather
especially after having taken slight
degree OF exercise, and always avoid
standing on ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to the cold wind.

SHOULD WATER BE FREE.
One Western City Thinks So and Puts tn
Cost in the Tax budget.


The city of Santa Rosa, Cal, has
been supplying its TOGO inhabitants
with water free for the last five years
and charging the cost in the tax
budget. j w Keegan. one OF its Coun-
cilmen, is anxious that other cities
should follow Santa Rosa's example,
and he gives these reasons for declar-
ing it to be the only equitable system
of supply:
1t is more economical because the
cost OF accounting and collecting is
abolished; it saves 10 the consumer the
annoyance of the rate collectors call,
ing; it is strong incentive to beautif.
cation Of The city, for householders no
longer grudge water for lawns and
gardens; it is not wasteful, because tho
consumer never believes that his pay
ment is fixed by his consumption, and
it benefits the very poor and by encour.
aging them to be cleanly keeps the
community free from disease.
'The only man who may be injured
says the Councilman, ''is one who pays
taxes on personal property, and he is
DO more injured than by free sewer
system. If he be Il householder, he
has free water, and if his personal
property is merchandise which he sells,
he can shift the burden of taxation
upon the purchaser and the purchasers
OF the goods pay the merchants taxes,
just as they pay the merchants clerk

The CRADLES.

L.
Tapped in the elder, and wrapped in the
silk,
A cherub watching her beautiful rest,
Carven from ivory as white as milk,
The little princess lies in her nest;
And the upstretched wings hold the drift
of lace
That floats like cloud round the flower
sweet face,
While jeweled ladies wave to and fro
Great plumes that perfume the winds they
blow.

Folded in fleece, and swinging aloft
IN the rough-rolled sheet of he1ilock bark,
The pioneer baby sleeps as soft,
Tho round her the forest frowns vast and
dark,
Where the axe rings clear and the bird
sings high,
Md the beast with crash is leaping by,
And the shaft of sunshine comes and goes,
And the wild bee fancies her cheek rose.
Ill
Long, long ago, in the misty CLEAN
OF that elder day where the ways divide,
Their little ancestress dreamed her dream
ljy the spear-heads' glow and the camp
Tres side,
While the blood of battle across the night
Vet sang of the awful joys of fight.
And with all its dints of fray and field,
One rocked her to sleep in her fathers
shield.

Fights For Life with Wolves.

Sam Isaacs, a tall, athletic young
Indian, about twenty years of age, was
out with his rifle in the township Of
Freeman, near Moon River, Canads
He was alone.
Suddenly five wolves in pack q =
peared on the scene and made straigI It
for the young Indian. They had
winded him, and We're trying to run
him down. Sam waited until the fore
most was within twenty-five yards of
him when he raised his rife and sent
bullet into his head squarely in the
middle and little below the eyes. The
pack kept on, and We're within thirty
feet of him, when again the rifle sent
a bullet through another head. Then
the remaining three turned tail and
fed. Sam brought in the heads and
hides on Tuesday, and made affidavit
before the police magistrate to get the
bounty allowed by the Government for
the destruction of the two wolves.
The leader of the pack measured six
feet six inches from tip of tail to nose.
He was an old veteran, and had been
in many fights, as his head was
scarrred and scanned all over from old
wounds, one ear had been at some date
completely chewed off, and the other
pretty badly lacerated and torn.

Thirty-five Days on a Raft; No Food.

Thirty-five Days on Raft; No Food.

They had been drifting since October

Each apple was cut into sixteen pieces,
there being fifteen men and the stew

wreck.
Three Of the men became maddened
by drinking sea water and leaped over
board. Four others and the stewardess
died Of starvation and exposure.
The survivors suffered agonizingly
on the raft. This was twelve feet
long by seven feet wide. 1t was half
submerged and every sea swept over it,
drenching its occupants.
On the night of November II the
castaways saw the light of steamer
and shouted frantically. The steamer
lowered boat, which passed within
fifty yards of the raft. Then, although
those on the raft continued shouting,
the boat turned and went back to the
steamer, apparently not having heard
the cries for help.

woman, of Huguenot descent, who was
never known to have shown fear, won
fame throughout the British posses
sions by daring night walk that saved
a garrison from surprise attack by
the American forces.

after she had found her severely
wounded husband on the battlefield of

She left her house toward evening

long and perilous journey by foot. At
first she strolled along leisurely and
cajoled an American sentry into letting
her pass with tale that she was look

she began to walk rapidly, taking the
most unfrequented and toughest roads,
and occasional short cuts through belts
OF forest. She walked all night of the
Gath of June, 1918, and arrived early
in the morning in a state Of exhaustion
at Beaver Dams. The first people that
she saw were Indians. They con-
Quoted her at once to Lieutenant Fitz
Gibbon, who had heard nothing of the
danger that threatened. He instantly
prepared himself, and that very day,
after a slight skirmish, he captured
many Americans and two field pieces.
Mrs. Secord once got the better of
100 Indians, led by the great warrior,
Tecumseh, who had come to her house
to carry away her fourteen-y year-old
daughter for the purpose of making
her Tecumseh's wife. She was alone in
the house and without weapon OF
any kind when the Indians marched up
and halted before the front door. But
without showing any signs of fear she
opened the door, and, lifting up her
hands as a warning, exclaimed, "Small.

CAPT. T. w. SLOCUMB PRO
NOTED.
Thirty-one years is long time in
the life of man.

Thirty-one years is a long time in
the life of man.
Thirty-one years is a long time
for !. man to devote lis very life 10
the service of corporation.
Yet this is just what Capt. Thomas
w. Slocumb has done as agent of the
Atlantic Coast Line Railway Com
pany.
For two years he was agent at
Wilson, when he was transferred to
Goldsboro, and for twenty-nine years
he has been the agent in this city.
And in all Of those years he has
been as faithful to the interest and as
loyal to the Railroad Company as
ever any man was faithful and loyal
to any cause or any man.
Under his able management, the
business has grown to large proper
tions, and by his courteous treat
ment of the public he has made
hosts of friends who ship by the
Coast Line.
A few days ago, Capt. Slocumb
was notified to go to Wilmington,
the head Office of the Railroad Com
pany. When he arriV Ved there he
was Informed that he would be re-
ieved Of his old position as agent,
and that new Office bad been Gre
ated, and that in future he would be
Commercial Agent at GoldsborO.
We congratulate Captain Slocumb
and the Coast Line too. He fully
deserves his promotion, and in his
new field will render most valuable
service to the Coast Line.
Capt. Slocumb IS succeed by Mr..
Price, recently the Coast Line Agent
at Bennettsville, South Carolina.
Such faithfuiness and loyalty on
the part Of Capt. Slocumb, and such
generous appreciation on the part of
the management Of the Atlantic
Coast Line, are indeed pleasant epi-
sodes to chronicle.

GOLDSBORO NEEDS A SAM
RARIUM.

Goldsboro needs a Sanitariun, as
hospitals have now come to be
called.
We have skillful physicians in
Goldsboro, but in these days of mod
ern surgery, it is only the hospital
that has all of the necessary equip
ments for the treatment of cases.
Only on Saturday night our es-
teemed young friend, George Pritch-
ard returned from the Hospital at
Richmond, where he has been for
weeks for the treatment of his arm
which was accidently shot last fall,
and hardly had he gotten home,
when one of Goldsboro's best young
men, Edward Denmark, was carried
to the same hospital for the treat
ment of his arm, which was injured
at the Oil Mill a few days ago.
These are only two cases-num-
bers of others could be named who
have been away for treatment within
the last few months.
Goldsboro is the eye of Eastern
North Carolina. 1t is the best loca-
ton in North Carolina for a sanito-
rum. It would not only be a paying
institution to the stock holders, but
it would prove blessing to the peo-
pie.
Let Goldsboro have a sanitariunl-
first class one in every particular,
one that will attract the attention of
the people Q AeR State.
