Diy In Greensboro.

Greensboro. May 81 -Effec-
tive June /, Greensboro will prob.
ably be the "driest" town in
North Carolina, either legally or
illegally. A city ordinance
which goes into effect makes it il
legal to sell whiskey on drug store
prescriptions, the only means
which had been left the thirsty or
sick to get hold of little liquor
in this town; On top of this
she police have just closed a
strenuous campaign in the Jun
gles" and they proudly boaat of
the fact that there isn't a tiger or
club in ths city where whiskey lie
served. The only place whore it
can be obtained is at the principal
club of the city and here it is only
because Of the locker privilege to
members. The Elks have q strict
ruling against the keeping of IL
quor inside their building, it be-
ing even against tho rules IF the
club to take q drink inside.
The drug store prescription
trade here has been a thriving one
despite the regulation of publish
ing tho amount prescribed by each
physician the first of every month.
One store has sold an average of
500 pints q month at 81 pint,
according to the figures kept by
Chief of Police Iseley. Now it is
against the law for the drug store
to have liquor on its shelves or
anywhere else.

"Any attempt TO give Mr.. Taft
a single delegate at large would

fort to defraud the people aid by
a trick to nullify tbelr expressed

and equity no claims whatever to

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST FLIES.
The Public Should Know The Worst That
They May Severn Themselves Accordingly.

Raleigh, N. G. June 8. 1912 -
In discussing the "real facts about
flies" the State Board of Health,
in bulletin now in press, says:
"Flles are the vAest creatures
affecting mankind ,, After TAX
ing this stand the Board proceeds
to explain that the only objec-
tions to flies used to be because
thew were pests and torments.
Later" says this authority,
"We learned about the flies
breeding places. his habits of life,
and the possibility Of his carry.
ing nauseating filth on his b. dy
from stablee, garbage cars aud
privies to our houses, cur PERSONS
and our food. Then it was tbas
flies became extremely disgusting,
10 say the least. By far the
greatest objection to a.es, how
ever, now comes from the faot
that we know con :lusively that,
besides being 8 discomfort and
carrying filth. they spread tre-
mendous amounts ef disease.
Besides actually dropping bao-
terra and filth from their fest and
legs, flies may transmit disease
by discharglng their vile, disease
laden excreta either directly or
Indirectly upon our food.
Iu summing up the remedy the
article states that "for immed,-
ate protection and probably for
many years to come We shall have
to resort to screening all doors
aud windows. But the time will
come when our municipal au-
thorities will waken up to tbs
gravity of she situation aud abol.
ish flies by abollshing their
breeding places. Then we
shall pass ard enforce ordi-
nances re lulring the screening of
all manure and the general use
of sanitary privies. Until then,

Will 1t be Taft or Roosevelt.

Washington, June 2.-The de-
parture of heads Of the Taft and
Roosevelt organizations from here
to Chicago, has practically ended
before the people, at least. the
bitterest and most disgraceful
contest for the Office of President
that this republic has ever
known. 1t has been the fercest
warfare that has ever been waged
within a political party and with
out credit to those who engaged
in it.
1t must be taken into consider
aticn that there is underlying the
contest great principle. and
that the controversy is not be
tween the two men. The domi-
nant question involved is the
trusts and their assumption of
authority in the management Of
she governments.
Mr. Taft Is regarded by the
people generally as the friend
and protector of the great com
oinations of wealth, while Mr..
I Roosev.It is viewed as one typi

tion of this Republican v2ters,
and the sweaping victories that
Nj. Roosevelt has received in all
the States whore primary cleo
tions were held, were taken to
mean that he is unquestiouably
the choice of the rank aud file of
the party. That he will go into
the convention as strong, if not
stronger than Mr.. Taft, Is con.
coded even by the closest and
most Intimate friends of the
President.

De afness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they
cannot reach the diseased portion
of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deaf.
ness is caused by an lnflamed
condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is ipfamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hear
lug, and when it is entirely
closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restore
to it's normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, whie b is nothing but an
inhamed condition of the mucous
