Have all your tins labeled clear
ly, so that no time is lost in taking

its own shelf and place.
Never let the flour dredger, salt
jar, etc, remain untitled. Refill
them as soon as they are emptied.
Have sufficient, but not more
than necessary, cloths in use, and
wash these out when they are done
with for the day. They will then
serve for several days without boil
ing
Always have plenty Of herbs,
raspings and spices ready to hand

handy, and even when dinner is be
ing served kitchen spoons, plates

Kansas Analysis OF Beauty.

One will not be long in judging
Miss Whitney a real beauty. She is
5 feet Z inches tall, and weighs about
1876 pounds. She has eyes that
speak a language by themselves,
and, by the aid Of her graceful ex-
pressions, and her big, candid smiles,
they verify sparkle. Miss Whitney
has a high forehead but not too high.
Her eyebrows are semi-rainbow lines
and are as pretty as any picture. Her
nose is Just the right size and her
face as a whole is a perfect model
and an ideal picture. On top Of all
these beautiful features, let Miss
Whitney smile or just let her APP
pear before any one and not smile
and she will be applauded as beau
ty.-Wichita Eagle.

minutes the patient sneezes and the
tooth falls ont. Many attempts
have been madeby Europeans to get

Face The Matter SquareIy; Make Your
Own Answer.

The Leader has been blamed and
discontinued by few persons, we
understand, because il seemed to
teach that man could not be a
Christian and vote either old party
ticket. But it has not, neither edi'
torlally nor through its correspon-
dents, asserted that as broadly as
the obiector understands the asser-
ton. As to what is sin to an indl-
Ividual much, very much, depends
on the mental and moral illumina-
ton Of the individual. We cannot
understand how some men, with
large knowledge of the moral corrup.
ton OF the management OF both old
parties, and that both are subservl-
ent to the liquor traiiic-are to all
intents and purposes committed to
the interests of the traffic-and
knowing that the traffic is evil and
only evil, and yet in the face OF these
facts, vote for either OF these parties,
and against the Prohibition party,
which stands for that for which they
as Christians profess to stand, we
confess that we cannot see how such
men can have conscience void oil
offense toward God and man.
That there are thousands OF good
Christian men who vote for these
old parties, and do it regularly with
out compunction of conscience, we
have no doubt. But certainly 1t is
no credit to them or to the Christian
cause as represented by them, to
have to Justify their goodness on
the ground of their ignorance. That
word Ignorance" is an unpleasant
word to use in this connection, bul
our terminology is so limited we car
find no other to take its place.
Let us face this thought honestly
and frankly for moment. Evl'
dently the essence OF the demands
upon a Christian are expressed BY
the prophet Isaiah in the words
Cease to do evil, learn to do WELL
Then if a man knows that the liquo
traffic is evil and only evil; that !
is practically "the sun OF all william
les :" that it kills about one hundred
thousand American citizens ever
year; beggars forty thousand wlve
and = hundred thousand children
every year in this country alone
that il incites about eight thousant
murders every year, and largely fill
our poor houses and insane asylums
Now, suppose a man knows all this
and knows likewise, that neither tn
Republican nor Democratic part.
propose to even attempt to chang
present conditions, then can a man
giving his vote to either OF these
parties, plead that he is "eeasing t
do evil?"
Look the matter squarely In tn
face and answer with your hand ol
your heart.
To support a party that support
the liquor traffic, is to support tn
LIQUOR trafficl Can Christian d.
that? Deal honestly with your owl
soul. and don't blame the Leade

MILITIA POLITICS
Governor Glenn Has Titles
To Give Out.
Will Announce No Appointments Till
After Inauguration, And Says
He Likes the Business of
Hearing Applications

Raleigh had q day of military
Politics yesterday, the occasion be-
ing the visit of Governor-elect X. b.
Glenn to the city and the visit also
of gentlemen who are mentioned for
positions in the military of the State,
some of the friends OF these being
here also.
There were conferences at the
Marlborough House during the day,
and the claims of many were urged
upon Governor Glenn, who took all
matters under consideration and left
last night for his home at Winston.
Last night Governor Glenn in an
interview with a representative of the
News and Observer, said that he
would not give out any of the APP
pointments to be made, and that the
first notice given would be his ap-
pointments the day after his maui
Suration.
Among the visitors here yesterday
were Col. T. r. Robertson. of Char
Iotte. who is in command of the
First Regiment Colonel Robertson
is a candidate for the position of Adj
jutant General of the State. He is
being warmly urged as is also Briga-
der General Joseph F. Arm1ield, of
StateSville.
Capt. George l.. Peterson, of Clin-
ton, and his friend, Mr.. Henry A.
Grady, of Clinton; State Senator
elect, Major 3. H. Kirkpatrick. and
Capt. r. A. l.. Hyatt, of Waynesville:
Lieutenant Colonel 7. c.. James and
Capt. w. F. Robertson, of Wilmington,
were also visitors, these advocating
candidates for Paymaster General, the
position now filled by Col. Walker
Taylor, of Wilmington.
The candidates for the position are
Captain Peterson, of Clinton; Captain
Hyatt, of Waynesville, and Colonel
Taylor, of Wilmington, and the dele
cations from each of the places named
presented the claims of their choice
for the position.
But If any of the visitors had re-
ceived a plum no one gave out the
fact. Everyone looked happy and
this is proof that there are still mill
tary Dlums that have mt fallen.
How do you like it, Governor
Glenn said an enquisitive friend of
the Governor-elect, referring to the
matters in the way of appointments to
be made by the Governor.

tie, and they are encouraged by the
hope that our victories these last two
years have brought US into the usual
over-confidence and carelessness- For
once let ii not be so.

campaign, whereby we hope to ex-
towns in North Carolina and SO break
the backbone of the liquor power.
6. To discuss any other PROPOSE
tons or plans that the members of
the convention may bring forward.
1t will be a free meeting and it's OBJ
ject will be to reflect the temper and
the will of the friends of temperance
in North Carolina.
All the friends of temperance are
urged to come. We shall allow each
county voting strength in proportion
to the number of members of the
House of Representatives in the Gen
eral ASSembly-say ten votes for each
member.
We invite every Anti-Saloon League,
every county or township executive
committee, every temperance organi-
zation, Womans Christian Temper
ance Union, ETC., ETC., to send strong
delegation.
The convention will last two days,
# necessary.
We have applied for reduced rates
on the railroads and special rates In
the hotels. For announcements rela-
tive to these matters watch the news
papers. For other information write
to me.
This convention will largely deter
mine the character of our progress in
the temperance cause for years to
come. 1t will tend to make good our
present position and to strengthen
the plans for advancing our cause in
the future. If largely attended and
enthusiastically supported the COM
monwealth will take notice that we
are neither over-confident nor indif-
ferent. but are ready for battle. II
not, there will be reaction and dis
coura cement.
1t is, therefore. your duty as a
friend of temperance and the duty of
every temperance organization to be-
in this the most import
ant meeting in the history of temper
ance in North Carolina. We have
the enemy in our power. Let us not
relent until we shall have made the
conquest complete.
