our ORPHAN CHILDREN.

The annual proclamation by our
President and Governor, calling up
on all people to give thanks to Al
mighty God for His manifold mer-
cies and blessings during the past
wear should draw the minds of our
people more than ever to the needs
of tie great work which is being
done for the dependent orphan
children of our state.
This work is growing each year
and the number Of applications for
admission Of destitute. homeless
children, who have been deprived Of
their natural protector, is constant
Iy increasing. Most nobly have our
people responded to the increased
needs, caused by advance in cost Of
living and expansion Of the work
We look with pride at the various
institutions where these little ones
are being cared FOR and trained for
greatest usefulness to God and the
world. There is every reason to be
lieve that the investment which has
been made has already paid rich re-
turns in an educa ted, Christian man
hocd or Womanhood of former i'll
mates, who, but for these institu~
tons, would have remained in igno-
rance and want.
The needs Of the work are con-
stantly increasing as the cost Of liv-
ing advances, the number cared for
grows larger, and their education
and training takes g broader scope;
therefore, in order to do the great
est good to the greatest number
these institutions must have increas-
ed and larger gifts. In the good
state Of Georgia plan has been in
augufated t. get all friends of the
work to give one days salary or
wages to aid this cause. TIE result
WAS an offering Of S15O,000. Will
p not each Of Cur readers follow this
example and give their income for
one day OUT of three hundred end
siXty-fve and thus help the homeless
children Of our state? We desire to
publish d list OF those who will
make this contribution. Send us the
amount. state what orphanage you
desire it sent to, and we will for
ward the contribution and credit
same in the published list. Ifyou
prefer to send it direct to the insti-
tuition Of your choice, you may do
so. What we desire is to get each
man or woman who feels il in tireir
heart TO aid this cause to adopt a
systematic plan Of giving and thus
realize the hlessedness Of helping
, this worthy cause. VIII you do it?

4 BALD-HEADED WOMAN.
c;horn Of Her Crown Of Beauty, Los
es in Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary
to woman. VINO could love and
marry bald-headed woman? What
charms could one array to Offset
such a disbursement.
A wonan's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is
her hair. The loss OF her hair mars
her beauty, happiness and success.
Yet, right here in Scotland Neck,
there are thousands of women who
are neglecting or injuring their hair
to such an extent that it is only a
matter Of time when it will be Ut
terry ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty
Of their hail through thoughtless-
ness Or ignorance of certain facts.
They use curling irons over-heated,
or to excess, which destroys the nat
ural Oil of the hair, causing it to
split. break, and come out They
do not shampoo their hair often
enough, or too often. They use soaps
or preparations which contain in
gradients positively harmful TO the
scalp and hair.
AS a result Of such treatment,
dandruf is created, the hair looseds,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences, unless proper anc
prompt precautions are taken IN
time Then again, microbes and
certain diseases bring about IN
healthy acalp and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her
self Of dandruff and diseased scalp
and hair if she will but use the right
r5mydy. We have that remedy, and
We will positively guarantee that it
will either cure dandruff and bald
ness or it will not cost the user any
thing.
That's pretty broad statement,
but we will back it and prove it with
our own money. We will return
your money if you do not find that
