Grape Juice A. A Man Winner

There is something in a social
glass that appeals to us all. To
make call on one of these hot
evenings and have the hostess
BRING out dainty glass of grape
JUICE is indeed pleasure. Ii she
is up on the social usuages, it will
be the grape. The bruised fruit
mas held first place as a refreshing
drink since Cleopatra bewitched
Ceasar and the girl who makes the
hit OF the season serves the man
OF the hour with one of those
Glace' Ambrosias. To know Just
how to make one of these drinks
is an art that no man can afford
to neglect.
AS a food and social attribute it
has no equal-and the kind TO buy
is Walkers, sold by Rhodes, the
Druggist.

An Interesting Idea

(from the New York Tribune.)
The Pennsylvania State Grange
is Q nthe right track. 1t is going
70 try to, create "a cooperative
association for the distribution Of
farm products-especially pro-
ducts like fruits and vegetables,
which can be easily delivered in
their raw state-direct to con-
sumerS in the towns and cities
Farmers often complain of being
Obliged to sell in hard market
and some of them have expressed
tear that conditions would be
made more difficult :or them b.,
the free admission of food pro-
ducts from Canada.
Such apprehensions might be
relieved if farmers would give
closer consideration to theenor
nous appreciation in price which
TODD products now undergo on
their way from the producer to
the user. The fact that a bushel
OF apples or potatoes very likely
costs the consumer ten times as
much as the original seller re-
celves ought to suggest to the
farmer that there is something
wrong in the existing system OF
distribution, which might be rem
edled to his great advantage by an
elimination of the undue cost and
multiplied profits of the interme-
diary agencies standing between
him and the consumer. The far
mer is hardly to be blamed for
planning to get share of the ap.
probation in value occurring ir
transit. 1t may be that by patien,
and careful organization he coult
replace the present distributivs
agencies with agencies O: his own
whose profits would go to him o,
be shared by him to some extent
with buyers in the towns and cit
les. The high cost of living in ur.
ban communities is due in larg,
part to unnecessary expense in
CURED in handling the necessarie
OF life. The nari owed income O
the farmer is due largely to tn,
same cause: By skilfully planne'
cooperation in disposing o fiji
produce he might become his owl
selling agent and invite the con
sumer to become his own for
warder, jobber and delivery mar
1t is not safe to assume tl,d
this result could be brought abou
easily or all at once. But fror
the farmers point of view, it
: worth aiming at. There is n

Buying at Home.

What is sauce for the goose is
sauce for the gander." We have all
heard this saying and recognize its
truth. Something has been said re-
Gently about buying at home" and we
have urged the consumer to patronize
the home merchant. That is good
doctrine, we believe. And we know
the merchants think so.
Now, if it is right for the consumer
to buy Of the local merchant, it must
be right for the local merchant to pa
trcnize and encourage the local man
ufacturer in so far as possible.
Recently there came to Spartanburg
from city of this state gentleman
OF long and successful business expe-
rience who invested in q plant for the
preparation of commodity handled
by all grocers. He has not met with
success and one Of the things in which
he has been disappointed is the pa
tronage OF local merchants. We know
nothing OF the other circumstances
that may have combined to make his
venture unsuccessful, but 1t does seem
that he might very reasonably expect
the city merchants to have even strain
ed q point IL necessary to help his
concern on to success. This is q case
worthy of considerations artanburg

Il Is Better Farther on.

There is glory for the time to come.
A great many people seem to forget
that the best is before US. DR.. Bonar
once said that everything before the
true believer is glorious. This
thought took hold Of my soul, and /
began to look the matter up and see
what could find in Scripture that was
glorious hereafter.
found that the kingdom we are go
ing to inherit is glorious; our crown
is to be crown of glory" the city
we are going to inhabit is the city of
the glorifed; the songs we are going
to sing are the songs of the glorifed;
we are to wear garments of glory and
beauty; our society will be the society
of the glorified; our rest is to be glori-
GUS; the country to which we are going
is to' be full of the glory of God and of
the Lamb.
There are many who are always
looking on the backward path and
mourning over the troubles through
which they have passed; they keep
Juggling the cares and anxieties they
have been called on to- bear and are
forever looking at them. Why should
we go Keeling and staggering under
the burdens and cares of life when We
have such glorious prospects before
us?-D. l.. Moody.

10000, 600 Kings and Queen /.

Nobody should be hungry In this
country This year the farmers have
raised wheat enough to give each
family 10 barrels of Hour, $50 BUSHELS
Of corn 80 bushels OF oats and AZ BUSH
els Of potatoes. Somebody has to dis
pose OF all that food, and if 1t IL not
eaten in the United States it will be
exchanged for cash in other countries
and thus play a part in the general
plan Of living. There is a good deal
Of talk about Americans wearing out
those food supplies by much handling
In the commercial places and there is
no doubt the cost of living is advanced
by that much handling, because each
handler demands profit for his work.
There is a possibility that the entire
people might live cheaper if they would
insist on taking the produce direct
from the farms or the mills where it is
prepared for the cocks, but the hand
lers, who are called middlemen by the
reformers, are evidently natural pro
duct Of the American habit of depend
ing on somebody else to wait on each
family or community. So long as we
are all kings and queens and Insist on
being waited on by these servants Of
the public we must pay the price and
let it go at that. II is more extensive
than anything the old dynastics could
afford and that in why it looks SO large

of the United States Worcester Tel

Bethel and first with the Declaration
OF independence, but she has proud
pereminence in some ecclesiastical
FIRST things" The first Methodist
Discipline in present form was pre-
pared by Rev John Dickens, then pas
tor of BERTHE circuit, North Carolina.
The first Methodist Magazine publish
ed IN America was launched In North
Carolina in the good year Of 1889 The
camp-meeting was inaugurated in
Lincoln county in 1889 or 1890, near
the present Rock Spring camp-ground.
Gabriel Long and Brother Bustian
two North CaroIinians, were the first
subscribers to Methodist college In
America. The first Conference School
in America was Cokesbury school. In
Davie county, 1893 The first publish
ing interest in American Methodfsm
was projected in North Carolina. The
first Annual Conference this side the
waters was held in this State, at Green
Hills, near Louisburg, in 17S5. This
is glory enough for one Common
wealth, and we will not at present
ennmerate any more first things -

See Body of Shipmate DeVOured by
Giant Shark.

Pensacola, Fla, November 8.-To see
the body Of their shipmate between
the jaws of a monster man-eating
shark was the awful sight witnessed
late yesterday afternoon in Pensaco-
la harbor by the crew Of the British
steamer Aldergate, in Pensacola, as
well as half a hundred baymen en-
gagged in loading lumber in that YES
sci.
The seaman, Jules Antoine. an old
man, employed more for a Waterman
than as a seaman, had evidently fallen
overheard from the steamer, for the
first seen of him was when a monster
shark came leisurely out from between
the ship and lighter OF lumber with the
body of the man clamped between its
Jaws, the head and shoulders protrud-
ing on one side of the mouth and the
legs on the other. For a moment the
shark remained on the surface then
sank beneath, to arise a moment later
with the body in changed position,
for it was trying to swallow the body
and had done SO to such an extent that
only that portion above the shoulders
was visible.
The water was stained with blood.
For almost a minute it seemed the
shark remained on the surface. and
then disappeared. Among the specta-
tors of this CHASTITY sight was the
shipper of the lumber, and he was
overcome by the sight.

farmers complain that they cannot se-

Birmingham hOusekeeper paws from

Many cities have adopted the IAN in
the hope that in this way the cost OF
living could be reduced while the pro-
Queer was benefited" 1
In all that we hear these days about
town-building it is beginning to be
pointed out that towns or cities where
the cost Of living remains relatively
low enjoy an important advantage over
their neighbors. City growth involves

Conditions no longer permit the pro-
Queer in many cases to reach him df-
rectly or almost directly unless the
city provides meeting place for the
two. Accordingly all progressive
cities Of any size establish market
houses sooner or later, and it is not
cIeditable to North Carolina progress

Farmers Not to Blame for High Cost
Of Food

Washington, Nov. 9.-Dr. Harvey
w Wiley, chief chemist Of the depart
ment of agriculture in an address here
last might blamed the middleman in
stead of he farmer for the present
high cost OF living
There is no need to blame the far
mer for the high cost of living" said
DIR Wiley, "for the farmer is playing
losing game. He does not coUnt the
cost of his own labor nor the labor Of
his family in balancing up his &C
counts. 1t is the middleman who il

Cookine in Paner Raes.

Mrs. G. H. Register lectured to the
economics department CT
the Greensboro Women's Club last
Friday, on cooking in paper bags, and
gave practical demonstrations OF the
advantages CO that method.
After the article to be cooked is
placed in the bag the later is sealed,
put in the oven or pan and not re-
moved until the cooking is done.
Special bags are used and firm has
been organized for the manufacture of
them. 1t is requisite that they be OF
non-poisonous material, and that they
be sealed with some septic sanitary
adhesive.
These who have tested the method
of cooking say that there are five
points about it which make the use of
creased paper bags in cooking especi-
ally valuable, as follows:
l. There are no pots and pans to
be washed after cooking ameal; mas
much as the ingredients of the dish do
not come in direct contact with the
utensil in question.
2. Cooking is much more readily
done as the best heat is retained in
the bag and does not escape as rapidly
as when the dish is open.
3. The dish thus prepared is more
savory, possessing much better ha-
vor because of the retention of the
delicious gases arising from the pro-
cess of boiling.
4. A great part of the nearly % per
cent. of the steak or other article to
be cooked which is now lost when
cooked in the open air, is saved.
5. The odor of cooking is kept from
filling the room in which the cooking
is done.
