ginia The train consists OF three box
cars and a Pullman. The box cars
are fitted up with exhibits, the most
interesting OF which is IA living dairy
department, in which the cows are
on hand to be MIXED, and in another
car the churning and cheese-making
apparatus is on exhibit to show how
the thing can be done in short order.
The third car is a kind of general
show Of what can be done in the way
of economizing in farming and in
creasing the profits OF the agricultu-

betterments added. The farmers at
tend the demonstrations in large

be an improvement in Virginia dairy

Thoughtful and Helpful Little Book
let.

Durham Sun.
There drifted to our sanctum desk
a little booklet entitled. "Happiness,
Health and Prosperity" The title
struck our fancy and set the heart
atune with sweet melodies, for it is
the very things most every mortal is
seeking in this world-wishing for. at
any rate We became interested. and
found it an uplifting address. The
central idea is greater individual ef
forts for self dvancement. Reforms
of every nature. individual. social
and public, result from mental and
moral enlightenment, and when peo-
pie begin to study their own faults
and strive to correct them. it safely
may be said that the world is grow
ing better. That dutiful feeling which
reminds us that we owe ourexistence
to n Supreme Creator is the safeguard
of all our blessings. The reward for
right living is happiness, health and
prosperity. This little booklet to
which we allude is thoughtful and
helpful. 1t is bright. cheerful and
full of hope and encouragement. 1t
is an address by c. G. Conn, of Elk
hart, Ind. and it will be sent to any
one free who writes to him for a copy.

women Who Wear Well.

II IS astonishing how great a change
fcw years OF married life often make in
the appearance and disposition of many
women. The freshness, the charm. the
lr.Iaucc vanish like the bloom from n
rr.rh which is rudcly handled. Tho
ratron is only a dim shadow, a faint echo
O, the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
unsicrt. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
e. uge which comes with marriage and
uothcrhood. Many neglect to deal with
tie unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
Hrsscs which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

Atlanta Constitution.

Atlanta Constitution.
The men whose graves we decorate
today, and whose sacrifice We cele-
brate today. are the fathers and the
saviors of the destiny that beckons
the South from a thousand sunlit
heights.
There is that to think upon, as the
deeper significance underlying the
ceremonies wherewith we mark our
share in the monumental civil war of
history.
Each day we are coming more
vividly to see, and our children even
are coming to see. that achievement
that does not wed itself to sincerity
and spirituality is of little worth.
Wealth perishes. The standards OF
accomplishment we yesterday glori-
fled. today wane and grow obsolete.
All that survives, with the individ-
ual or the nation, is character, the
character builded under the encourag-
ing radiance of the sun, amid the
acter that may not be blasted by
desolation and that is strengthened
and purified and ennobled by what
men sometimes pctulantly misname
ruin and chaos.
This. then, is the heritage of the
South handed down by the men who
made memorable the days of the
sixties, whether they yet abide with
us in thinning battalions or whether
they have fallen gently on grateful
slumber
Today, the dreams and the hopes
of the South embrace a universe. The
world lies before usfor conquest, and
we are sure of the victory, since our
weapons are those OF material pos
session illimitable' and spirit that
may not be crushed by disaster and
that will prevail if it is so destined.
by honor that scorns subterfuge and
by courage that is measured only by
the proportions of the task to be un-
dertaken.
Defeated according to the literal
reading of history. these gray-coated
fathers and husbands and sweet
hearts and brothers who lie yonder
sleeping or who yet mingle with us
living and loving, conquered maiesti-
cally in the higher. the finer, the more
enduring sense.
The beGuest of their courage arms
today for the solution of problems
that bewilder; their high pride OF
race has brough us through catastro-
phes that would have undone people
of less infexible fiber; the integrity.
the sweep of intellectual power. and
the broader traditions to which we
are heir, are today visible in the hope
fulness with which the South faces the
responsibilities of an era that il in
scrutable in all save its proteEtious-
hess
Viewed from this angle, the day has
more than a sentimental meaning;
and the blue-coated troops, young
and sturdy. that match their rhythmic
tramp with the falling steps of our
own heroes, remind us that the nation
is, indeed, one in thought, in hope. in
patriotism,

''Courting?" Why, bless you. my
boy, the young fellows of today do
not know the meaning of that world
" hen a young man would walk Ave
or even ten miles through the snow
or rain and mud, freeze his ears and
fingers, and face the danger of wild
cats, to see his girl, and that too in
the general living-room with the
family, he was entitled to admit that
he was courting. And that wes the
RULE, not the exception. The young
fellows would start out Sunday after
noon to see their sweethearts. and no
weather was too bad to keep them
home. 1t might be too cold or too
muddy to take out a horse; but in
that case he would go on foot. and
he would go through as much hard
ship to see his girl as did knights of
old to rescue fair maids in castles
bold. But it was his devotion, his
ourting; and when he won that girl
'e stuck to her through thick and
thin, through good report and evil
report, obeying the Scriptual injunc-
rion that what God has Joined to-
gether no man should put asunder
There were no marriages of conven-
fence and few hasty marriages then
The counting was long and there were
no divorces to follow. The young
people might meet often at the sing
ing-school, or the dance, or the husk-
ing bee; but these did not take the
place of regular courting.
The courting was on Sunday night
and the young man went religiously
to see his girl and remained SO until
midnight with the object of his affec-
ton, even though her father and
mother and the younger children
were present to share the visit; and
when he went home, either through
the storm or under the bright star
light, he walked the earth as con
queror, for he had been in presence
that to him represented the reaI
/ poems of life. He had been courting
And that is all we need, to bring safe
and sane ideas to marriage-court
ing-courting in the true sense of the
word, the man seeking, if not serving
like Jacob, seven years for the objec,
| of his affection. Then be will stick tC
her and she to him through life
There are some ,old fashions that
have not been improved upon, and
one of them is the old way of court

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
Il Has been Proved that
Microbes Cause Badness

Professor UnBa Of Hamburg, Ger
many. and Dr. Sabourand, the leading
Freaeh dermat0logist, discovered that
aTaierobe causes badness. Their theory
has time and again been amply veri fed
through research experiments carried
Oh under the observation of eminent
scientists. This mierobe lodges in the
Seburp, which is the natural hair oil,
ar3 when permitted to flourish it de-
stroys the bair follicles and in time the
pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope Of
the growth Of hair being revived.
Dan5ruH is a contagious disease,
witch ia largely due to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue it's
course causes itching scalp. falling hair
and badness. Dandruif is caused by
the mierobe affecting the glands which
produce the sebaceoUs matter, which
latter then unnaturally dries up and
scales Oft.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around the
aair roots, tighten and revitalize the
hair roots and overcome badness, 50
long as there is any life left in the hair
roots.
