Do You Wear the Cigarette Badge!

Spare Moments.
When you call on an employer to ask
for employment do you think that he
| will not notice your hands? Il he looks
at the tips of your first and second fin
gers will he see two yellow spots that
denotes the owner is addicted to the Gig
arctic habit? Will he notice it? OF
course he will.
When you face the man who employs
the help needed in big plant, he is apt
to look you straight in the eye and ask,
"Do you smoke cigarettes?' That has
become one of the leading questions when
a man seeks employment.
Why has this come to pass? The reason
it is asked is because employers do not
desire to have that kind OF a man
around. as experience with them in the
past has been sad one. Should you
hesitate in answering one glance will
give him the required answer-it may
bar you from a good opening.
This cigarette badge, once worn, is
at it, he wishes that his fingers were free
of regret comes when the employer dis
covers it. He can see an instant change
in the man who hires, then he hears the
verdict:
mo, we do not need you, young
MANI
Nov, young man, don't you think
that you would feel more self respect if
you got rid OF the cigarette badge? You
can, if you are ambitious to succeed in
the world. 1t may take lots OF will
power, but if you set to work in earnest
and give up the cigarettes, the tell-tale
stains will wear away You can take it
off just as you put it on. Why not begin
the fight in earnest without delay and
get rid of the cigarette badge?

Mistake Of Women.

Home Chat.
Many young wives, when the babies
come, gradually get into way OF
thinking that with house and chill
dren to look after it is quite impos-
sible for them to get away long
enough to pay visits and too much
trouble to have friends at home, and
SO after a while give up seeing their
friends altogether.
This is one of the greatest mistakes
a woman can make. The stay-at-
home woman, who has practically
no interests outside her home, is apt
to grow ole and narrow before her
time, and is narrowing her chance of
happiness immensely. If home hap
piness fails what has she left? Very
little. But the woman who has kept
up friendships, even though to do so
entailed many little self-denial and
much arranging of time, if troubles
come has still her friends to fall back
upon, friends who will grieve with
her and try their best to help her
over the bad places.
Therefore, don't lose any chance
you may have of making friends, and
once made, don't grudge the little
time and trouble entailed in keeping
them. Most prople ask very little of
a busy woman. Just an occasional
visit to show that one is not forgot
ten, or noteif visiting is impossible,
or an invitation to cup of tea, and
your friend will remain your friend !,
whereas if you ignore her altogether
for a few years you can hardly be
surprised if she decides that such
friendship is not worth having and
drops YOU,

The Passing France.
Catholic Standard and Times.

Race suicide runs hand in hand
with atheism in France. Family child
lessness has now become nearly the
rule Last years returns Of births
and deaths reveal an abandonment
of parentage most frightful to con-
template. There were 10000 more
deaths than births during the year.
For the six years previous the aver
age decrease in the birth-rate was II
600; last year it reached the enor-
nous figures of 33, 900. At the begin
ming ofthe century the birth-rate was
1,O07, ,OOO; now it has fallen to 774,- :
600. Swift, then, is the pace of France
down the road to ruin. Unless some
mighty change takes place in the pol
icy of those who now control her des-
TIMES, the fate of Poland stares France
in the face, and her name will disap-
pear from the map ofEurope, obliter-
ated as result of the wickedness of
her own recreant sons and daughters.

Hokesmith, New Word Coined.
Fairbrother's Everything.

LNci lHiHS
We are not O. neologist. We have
bnt little to do with assisting lexi-
cographers in their glorious stunt of
making words with which to record
history or the doings of the world
but we were thinking the other day
that new word was needed. We
thought about the word 'black-
smith" and we knew he pounded iron
into shape and fashioned things
needful Or otherwise; we thought of
the silversmith and the goldsmith
and we wondered why the word
hoke smith wasn't destined to he a
winner.
We have hokesmiths in all commu-
mites; some Of them go to the Legis-
lature; some of them want to raise
what the Charlotte Observer calls it
all the time, and others are always
for the pee-pul.
Now be it known that a hokesmith
is the man who plays to the galleries;
a hokesmith is man of buncOmbe,
prunes and swollen dried apples A
hokesmith is man who appeals to
passion and prejudice; who makes
promises to land him into office
and q man who is not wanted
by the people. A hokesmith is the
man who is repudiated.
That is to say a historian could re-
late that fin this community or that
community there were several hoke-
smiths, but they. were soon relegated
to the rear"
1t is a good word; a comprehensive
word-and it means a great deal. BY
all the oral and written traditions of
all the centuries let hOkesmith be
adopted and defined.

Senator Pettus' Advice to a Young
Man

During Senator Pettus' latter days
he was, while coming out of the Sen
ate chamber on one occasion. run into
by young man who, entering the
chamber very hurriedly, pushed open
the left one of the swinging doors.
He stopped and apologized to the
Senator saying he was in a great
hurry. Mr.. Pettus gracefully accept
ed the excuses, but gave the young
man a piece of advice, which would be
we'll for q great many people to take
to themselves both as going through
swinging doors and meeting people
on the streets The Senator said to
the young man:
That's all right, son, but let Inc
give you piece OF advice about 60
ing through doors like these. Always
go through on the right side, and
turn to the right. Then, If you meet
anybody coming through and bump
into him you needn't apologize. He'll
be a burned fool, and it won't be
necessary"

The States Future.
IA harlotte Observer.

Charlotte observer.
In the course of an excellent edito-
rial under the above caption the In
dustriai News, of Greensboro says
among other things:
"0f the varied forms of activity in
which the genius and energy of men
direct themselves there are in our
opinion two in which the Old North
State may equal any of her sisters,
and excel many of them. We refer to
agriculture, the mother OF indurtries
and to her eldest child-manufactu
ing. OF course there will be in the
future as there are now, many other
forms of industrialism that may be
successfully pursued, but these two
will always be the leading ones.
Acting, then, on the prin-
ciple that commerce, and that means
every kind of productive activity,
follows the lines of least resistance it
is apparent that the future greatness
of our State will in the main depend
upon the amOut of zeal and intelli-
gence which our people display in the
development of it's manufacturing
and agricultural interests. We be-
lieve that what has been done in the
past in these two particular branches
of endeavor while great, will appear
small when compared with what
shall have been accomplished within
the next half century,"
Thief facts are stated accurately and
there is warrant for the expectation
entertained. Annually the farms in
crease in productiveness under in
creasing intelligence and improved
methods, and the increase in the
manufacturing interest keeps pace.
The progress in both is all that can
be expected and indicates q great
future for North Carolina

LYDIA e. PINKHHM

Nature and a woman's work com-
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good old-fashioned days OF
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians OH our Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia 4. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave TO the women
of the world q remedy for their pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
ciOus than any combination ofdrugs.
Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of 5l5 NC. St,
Louisiana, Mo-, writes:
Complete restoration to health
means SO much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
"For twelve years l had been suffer
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what 1 suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Conn
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t Is
worth mountains Of gold to suffering
women"
What Lydia f. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,
it will do for other suffering women.

Democratic Party in North Carolina
Needs Leader.

Lumberton Robesonian
1t seems that one thing stands out
very clearly just at this time, and
that is that there is crying need in
North Carolina for leader who
should stand out head and shoulders
above his fellows-a leader such as
Vance, for instance. II the Demo-
cratic party in the State had such IL
leader now it is unthinkable that
there would be any young mems
Republican clubs formed The
trouble is not with the Democratic
party or it's principles; they are just
as powerful for the best interests of
the State as ever; the need is simply
for the man who can command the
absolute confidence of the people.

1t comes to the Observer from a

there will be nothing of this kind,
there orelsewhere. No remedywould
de found in this for any grievance.
real or supposed. The Democratic
party as such did nothing more in
this matter than submit the prohibi-
tion bill to a vote of the people. If
they chose to adopt it the quarrel
is not with it but with the people
themselves. As the two parties are
constituted it should call for much
greater wrongs than this party has
yet perpetrated to drive any consid-
erable number of its membership
out, for after all it is only to it that
the people can look for good govern
ment.
