CURING A SUN6URN.

Most people seem to believe that

burn which are severe enough to
need treatment.
at is certairlr high time" a doc.
tor said the other day, that persons
suffering from sunburn should know
that it is not going to do them any
good to cover themselves with oil
of any kind What Is needed is a
cooling astringent.
AN application of oil in any form
will only serve to make the sunburn
worse, yet In nine cases out of ten
1t will be oil in some form that
sufferer will apply. Where greasy
applications will cause the irritation
OF sunburn to continue, a cooling as
tringent applied on a compress will
soothe almost Immediately"
The sun has this year been blamed
for other evils than sunburns. There
has been an impression that the ac-
tinic rays have been more powerful
than usual and that they have caused
much eye trouble, the sufferers being
principally persons who wear glasses.
There has been no increase in the
sale of our colored glasses" said an
opticfan in town, asked about the
matter, ain spite of the talk about
the actinic rays this summer. There
has not been a summer in recent
years without some story about the
actinic rays and their bad conse-
quences.
AT one time people were wearing
yellow glasses to counteract their
effect: Ole oculist gave his patients
amethyst glasses, and at another
time the only kind OF glasses that
did any good were said to be violet
glasses. But the people who kept on
wearing their ordinary glasses seem
ed to have just as comfortable eyes
as those that tried all these novel

Rat Skins are Marketable.

An impetus to the war of extermin-
alton of the brown rat, now being
waged by the governments or many
countries, including the United States
government, as well as some of the Pa
cine states, may result from the fact
that the skins of the rodents are mar
ketable. Already the traffic IN this
commodity amounts to more than a
quarter of million dollars annually
IN England. Such a trade is now be-
ing developed on a large basis in Cal
cutta, and in all probability it will al

Correspondence Of The Robeson,an.
Fayetteville February 8 -
Since my departure from this
city only a few years ago it has
grown rapidly. A goodly num-
Der of manufacturing enterprises
have grown up. and various
other establishments of interest.
. My old playground when a
boy has become center of cotton
milling and is dotted with resi-
dences. To my surprise l found
an iron bridge of a fine type
across Cape Fear river at a point
where there stood an antique
wooden bridge cf large dimen-
sions. l certainly am favorably
impressed with the idea that the
Fayetteville people have to
have the streets paved. The
work is in rapid progress now
and | hope to soon see the pave
ments from Liberty point to the
river and other streets in like
condition.
! Fayetteville. too, has nice lit
tie paper press now, quite an i'm
provement on it's former presses.
The, Index is a newsy as well
as an advertising paper and a
great deal of credit should be
given it's editor in his earnest
endeavor to please his subscribers.
We wish him and his paper
much success.

off. 1t struck his foot, but no in
