THE SPRING DIETARY.
+ + : + + + = = + + +

This is the time of year when we
need to make a change in our diet
ary, diminishing the amount of heat
and sugars. and adding the green
vegetables. but many thoughtlcss
housekeepers pursue the same rou-
tine for the table both winter and
summer.
Nature provides for warm weather
vegetables containing large amount
of water, very little of the heat pro-
ducing elements, and enough of the
mineral salts to keep the system in
good condition. Amman fat contains
more of the heat producing clements
than amy other article of diet, so
should be used sparingly excepting
in the cold weather.
The alkaline salts which are con-
tanned to green vegetables make them
almost as valuable as n spring medi-
cine Our digestion is sluggish dur
ing the spring. which is natures way
of telling us to eat less concentrated
foods, SO We turn to the fruits and
vegetables. which are especially bene-
ficial and invigorating at this time.
OF the spring vegetables spinach,
asparagus and lhubarb are especially
valuable. Rhubarb is a very valu-
3ble addition TO the spring dietary,
as it contains large amount OF
oxalic acid, which assists nature a
great deal in preserving the normal
condition of the blood. An abund-
ance of cold water should be taken
between meals aside from that con-
tanned in the food.

NEW POSTAL Law.

A new ruling of the Postoffice
Department at Washington will
gointo effect on the first of April
which makes it unlawful for. a
semi weekly paper to be mailed
to a subscriber for a longer
time than nine months. While
this order is aimed at fake pub
locations which have no legitimate
subscription list, it will apply to
all alike. 1t is a matter in which
we have no discretion, so after
the first of April we shall be com
PEELED to cut off all subscribers
who owe US at that time for a
longer time than nine months
Many of our subscribers are paid
in advance and will, of course,
not be affected by this law. We
are preparing to send out state
ments to all who are in arrears
SO that they may pay US before
this law goes into effect. o.
course our subscribers will
understand that we have NJ
choice in this matter, and w
trust that all who are in arrears
willpay promptly so thatwe MAJ
retain them as subscribers.

AS we mentioned the other
day, Mr.. Walter Bethune has
accepted a position with The
Robesonian, beginning work on
the 1st. Mr.. Bethune is new
to newspaper work, but his ex-
.perience along other lines and
his wide. acquaintance through
ont the county make him a very
desirable acquisition to the stat
of the paper, and we consider
that the paper is fortunate in
securing his services. In order
to accept this position with The
Robesonian Mr.. Bethune refused
a position that would have paid
him at the start much better il
dollars and cents, but he has
shown the faith that is in him By
casting his lot with the paper
Any assistance given Mr.
Bethune in his work will be ap
spreciated by him and by the
paper. Tradition to his worl
as local editor, Mr., Bethune viii

give one pause. Man alive! What
have the teachers got to do with |
the silly rule, except that they
are it's victims? The attempt to
dodge behind the teachers is just
about as ridiculous as the blessed
rule itself, which is worth moth
ing more than a laugh or idle
lest. 1t was stated in the article
referred to that one would have
to lift oneself to a lofty pinnacle
of Thought in order to under
stand why any such rule was
promulgated, and even so you
will have to lift yourself to the
very loftiest pinnacle to see how
any one could fora moment en-
terrain the idea that what was
written in that former article
was in any slight degree aimed
at the teachers. But it is neces-
sary to deal very gently and pa
tiently with some people, 80 very
tenderg, even as a mother would
take her precious child upon her
knee and explain something
which was all blurred to it's fee,
BILE understanding, we want to
explain that that former article
meant what the vein in which il
was written would seem to indi
cate-videlicet, to wit, namely
That it was high and mighty
rule, that it was a beautiful rule
that it was q rule that was loftily
conceived, that it was great in
stitution, that there ought to b.
more rules like it, that the rule
ought to obtain in every State, il
every county, in every city, il
every town, in every home; tina
college presidents, professors, ant
everybody who has anything t.
do.with teaching folks ought to b
regulated by rules. Think Q
| afcollege president, will you, JUS
for instance, walking about DIR,
= so, with no set of rules to te
him what to do all during til
day and night. Why, it's heFr
BILE, it's pitiful, it's absurd!
b. And when The Charlotte OF
server said that a law ought to b
!. passed to cover this thing som
people said they hardly kne'
what The Observer meant, an
: they thought maybe The Obsel
: YER meant to rebuke The Robe

about the rule. Wouldn't tia
