FIX STATE FASHIONS

Unique Petition Presented in the North Carolina Senate ASK
ing That Fashions be Fixed for Men. ~~,
Women and Children

who own large farms and have sew
eral girls and a wife &c keep in fash
ion. thereby keeping them in hard
strain all the time" Also. lots and
scores of children kept away from
church and Sunday school because
their. parents .cannot, ,dress the Faae w
THE latest fashion,
Now, We think" Declares the petit
ton. that North Carolina should
have an established fashion or fash
ions for men. women and children,
rot necessarily compulsory. Please
ask the Legislature to appropriate a
small sum of money to establish fash
ions and have circulars printed de-
scribing the fashions established. Also
calling on the people of the state To
wear these fashions and show their
patriotism thereby"
The petitioners proceed with argu-
ment for this State department of
fashions in this wise: If North Caro-
lima had an established fashion or
fashions. the wearing apparel would,
no doubt. be manufactured in this
State, and. therefore. would make
more taxable property fer the State. .
Swinging off on another momentous
problem" the petition proceeds:
Please pass law against cartoons
in newspapers. Lots of cartoons have
a tendency TO make q bad impression
on the reading public"

DRINKING HABIT
SHOWS THAT LIQUOR EVEN IN
SMALL QUANTITIES is DELE
FERROUS TO SYSTEM.

The Rev. Howard NJ. Hoge. Of Lou
doun county delivered strong dis
course on Heart Purpose TO large
and deeply interested congregation at
Denny Street Methodist church sun
day night The sermon was preached
under the auspices of the Woman's
organization, Mrs. Hoge. wife of the
minister IL State President.
The speaker took as the basis of his
remarks Daniels "Purposing In his
heart not to eat the kings meat nor
drink his wine" which incident was
graphically portrayed. -
He stressed with much earnestness
the duty of Christian people to be res
oiute in resisting temptation and TO
stand for the endowment of righteous
ness in the home and society. The
social drinking custom OF the day and
the licensed liquor traffic he declared
were inimical to the best interests or
the people and should be resolutely
discouraged. Moderate drinking. he
declared, should not be defended as 1t
is injurious to the system, making the
brain sluggish and is OF no benefit In
any sense.
The speaker dwelt at some length
on this point and related the results OF
several scientific tests which had
proved that alcohol taken In even
small quantities had a GeIetertous eff
feet. Mrs. w. NJ. Bickers. and other
active White Ribbpners were present.
The pastor of the church highly COM
mended the sermon.
