 - that summer and fall, and the band generally turned out, played few pieces in front of the hall before the exercises began, and then marched inside and stationed itself in the little stuffy gallery" in the rear, which was torn out long ago, when the hall was was over hauled and remodeled.
 Tn that low, cooped-up cuddy-hole, where a tall man could hardly stand erect without getting his pompadour tangled up with cobwebs, the harmonious effect produced every time poor old Marching Through Georgia was executed would have made a boiler maker feel perfectly at home. It was much like playing in an empty hogs head. But the slan-banging effect and the deafening tumble of sound were, after all, oftentimes in keeping with the political arguments and oratory thunder ed forth from the other end of the hall more notable for volume and vehemence than for coherency.
 Squire George W. Peet was the democratic candidate for congress, in that campaign, against Fred Miles of Salisbury. The band made it's first attempt at marching and playing at the same time, one night, by promenading over to the 'Squire's mansion and giving him serenade. The band artists wore stiff military caps embellished with white pom pons-like circus horses-for daytime appearance, but in the evening these pom-pons were replaced with little stink pot" lamps, to lllumine the music, which fared and smoked and splut- tered and imparted a pungent aroma of kerosene to the blending of other harmonies. Owing to want of practice, the marching effort was an indifferent success, especially while Marching Through Georgia was under going exscution-for be it understood, t the band, in the earlier stages of its career, disdained to limit the execution of Marching Through Georgia" merely | to inside concert work or drawing room i symphonies any more than they reserved ''Greenville" exclusively for quick step rendition. The may foot' and ''straw foot" would get mixed, and unfamiliarity with the starting signal would launch the tune i'll go-as-yor- please fashion calculated to dispel any ! doubt that it was being executed" '" Arriving at 'Squires Peet's, the serenade was given. It brought the Squire out. doors, in his slippers and house. coat. He made speech warmly congratulating the musicians on their proficiency; 1 passed the cigars around; told them to come to him whenever they wanted any thing, and promised to equip them with suitable uniforms later on. And the band marched and footed it's joyous way home again. But they never got the uniforms. Squire Peet, as we'll as General Hancock and the democratic state ticset, was defeated. Shortly afterwards he died, and somewhat later the band did, too.

Boost ]

Every man ought to be booster for his home town. If that place is good enough for him to stay in as place for hlm to make his money, it ought to be good enough to say a good word about.
 Too often we hear dealer complain, ing that the "old town is dead'r'n a door nail" If it is, who made it so It's the men who "knock" instead of getting under the foundation of the place and lifting. It is the fellows who inform every visitor that they wish they were birds, so that they could fly to other places more congenial.
 And what happens when these fel- lows do get money enough together to strike out to some other place? Do they forget their habits of depreciation? Not so you could notice it. They soon get to saying the same bad things about the new location. and wish they were back where they came from.
 There are thousands of towns in this grand old country of ours that are only waiting for the undertaken to get busy to recover from their stunted conditions and start to live agaln. It has been the knockers" that have kept the towns down and driven the retail trade to the mail order houses and the big cities. When visitor comes to town say all the good things you can about it. When a buyer wants anything don drive him to the city or county seat for it by not being stocked.
 Be the first one to breathe life into the old town, and see how quickly others will be taking longer breaths. too. Boost for the place where you live and do bus mess. If you can't boost, get out and give some one a; chance who will -EX- change.

For the Thin Armed Girl

The girl who frets because her
arms are as thin as sticks should
paftake of nourishing diet, even
Though she may want to maintain
a slim figure. She also should
rub into her arms every night the
particular fattener she finds most
effective-cream skinned from
milk, almond oil or the special
brand of cold cream she buys.
She should put into her evening
frocks sleeves made of filmy fab
rio, which will veil the arms to
the elbow only Just sufficiently to
disguise the fact that the arms are
lean without hiding their pretty
color. If the color needs to he
improved the arms may be treat
ed with cold cream and powder
before the dance, but every YES
tige of the cosmetic must be rub
bed away before the dress is put
on. The process of rubbing should
be undertaken at least three-quar-
tiers of an hour before party time.
1t is good plan for the girl whose
arms are too thin and inclined to
look scarlet to put on her long
kid gloves some time before she
starts for the party to warm the
arms and leave them of delicate
color and one that will match the
hands.

DON'T EAT RAW PORK
Never eat raw pork.

ANOfSA Ois g" pch NJ
Trichinosis may be your re-
ward If you disregard that adj
vice. Trichinosis is a disease oc-
curing in man and other animals
as a result of eating flesh contain
ing the living larvae of a parasite,
commonly known as trichinae.
From the standpoint of public
health, the only animals which
are of Importance in this country
as sources of infection and prop
agators of the disease are hogs
and rats-hogs eat infected rats,
and in turn are eaten by man.
In light cases recovery occurs in
from two to seven weeks-but all
cases are not light, some are
fatal.
There is only one way in which
danger of infection may be entire
ly avoided, and that is by thor
oughly cooking or curing the
pork so that any trichinae which
may be present are killed. Trichin-
Gus meat thus treated is just as
wholesome as non-infested meat.

icebergs and the land of the mid
night sun. Suddenly the north
wind stopped blowing, and Hazel
dropped down beside queer
round house made of ice and snow,
and there, sure enough, stood the
little Eskimo boy dressed in his
fur suit.
This is the home of the north
wind" he told her. He showed
her how he caught fish to eat and
to build snow houses, and then he
took her for ride on his sled,
driving a team of dogs instead
of horses.
In the midst of their fun the
north wind called:
Come away from your play,
For | must go far away"
And Hazel found that the wind
had picked her up and was car
rying her home. Just as she got
there she awoke and found it
was all a pleasant dream.

HELP DAIRYMAN KEEP
MILK BOTTLES PURE

AS soon as milk bottle Is
empty ,inse it in lukewarm water
until 1t appears clear, then set it
bottom up to drain. Do not use
it for other purpose than for milk.
There is no objection to the con-
sumer's washing and scalding the
milk bottle, but this is unneces-
sary, as the dealer will wash it
again when it reaches his plant.
He cannot, however, do this prop
erly If he receives the bottle in a
filthy condition, and If you return
such a bottle your negligence may
result in the subsequent delivery
of contaminated milk to some con-
sumner, possibly yourself

Up to The land of ice and shaw,
And find there "a dear little

herself blown right out the win

BUTTERMILK IS
VALUABLE FOOD

AS a wholesome and nutritious
food buttermilk is valuable. 1t
has per cent of proteids and a
quart contains one-fourth as
much proteid as man needs in a
day. 1t is said to possess hygienic
value as we'll, the theory being
that lactic-acid bacteria may grow
in the intestines, crowding out
other undesirable kinds.
Though not much different In
nutritive value, buttermilk OBJ
tanned as a by-product in butter
making has a different quality or
texture and different flavor from
the so-called skim-milk butter
