CHILDREN'S INDUSTRIAL CON-
GRESS.

The men and women of Arson
County, N. c., are thoroughly and
actively alive upon all lines which
have to do with rural betterment
The women of this county establish
ed the first permanent "Woman's
Farmer Institute" organization in the
South and for four years this body
OF women has demonstrated what
may be accomplished by united effort
along civic lines. This Children's
Congress plan is one of the fruits of
this organized movement. The plan
is as unique and attractive as it is
simple. Here are some extracts from
letter sent to the teachers by the
leader of the movement, Mrs. Eugene
Little:
Dear Teacher: want to help you
interest the children of your school
in the identifying of your building

and grounds. One of our plans is to
have monthly meeting which we
shall call the 'Children's Industrial
Congress. This congress is to meet
on the same days the teachers meet
in Wadesboro. Each school is enti-
tied to send two representatives to
the Congress-one girl and one boy
to be selected by vote, after being
nominated in open school. We will
provide meeting place in the large
brick building near the graded school
for the congress. No one is eligible to
be elected unless pupil in your
school. Lunch will be furnished the
children by the ladies and business
men of Wadesboro. And all teach
ers who attend the monthly meeting
are invited to take lunch with the
children"
Don't you believe the children will
enjoy this, and don't you think it will
help the schools? Then why not or
ganize some such club in your school?

New Medical Discovery
For All Skin Troubles.

A chemist who was convinced tina,
the old method of taking internal
remedies to cure skin diseases was err
roneous, has discovered that an ex.
tract from a particular part of a we'll
known tree possessed antiseptic and
curative properties on the skin tissues.
1t was, however, found that this vain.
able vegetable extract was difficult To
compound with other ingredients
necessary to present it in a form con-
venient to use. After further investf-
cations and experiments a method OF
special treatment was devised, result
ing in a combination of ingredients
possessing TO a marked degree valua-
Bile therapeutic properties, the like of
which has never before been produced.
This important product is known as
Cadum. Since its Introduction Cadum
has cured many cases of chronic &c
zema and other unsightly, irritating
and distressing skin diseases, and this
after other treatments have failed.
Cadum stops the terrible itching of
eczema at once, and begins the healing
process with the first application. Its
action is still more remarkable in less
serious skin troubles. such as hives,
pimples, blotches. letter, itch. acne,
herpes, scaly skin. psoriasis. ring
worm, rash, chafings. eruptions. sores,
itching piles, scurvy, blackheads. scabs,
etc Many of the results effected by
Cadum may be truly called remark
able. 1t destroys disease producing
germs, allays Inflammation, and is
soothing and healing to the skin.
