How Is YOUR
Money Spent?

Some families with thous-
and dollars a year will get as
much out of that thousand dol
lars as other families with twice
that amount.
1t is all In the ability of the
individual to spend properly.
To all those who really wish
to become efficient purchasing
agents for themselves or their
families we recommend the
conscientious, daily study of the
advertisements appearing in
THE GATE CITY and other
newspapers of equal reliability.
The person who dashes out
and buys without taking

with regrets.
A little forethcught in buying
saves time and annoyance.
Do your thinking with the
advertisements of a reliable
paper before you, and your re.

DIR. c. a. BARbOUR'S LECTURE.

The lecture delivered by DR.. c. A.
Barbour at the First Baptist Church
Friday night was in the nature of a
treat to the audience whicn gathered
to hear him, an audience which COM
fOrtably filled the church, but which
should have been very much larger
than it was. considering the force
fulness OF the talk which was made.
DR.. Barbour spoke for nearly an
hour and in that time held the un-
divided attention Of his audience. Ills
address was in the nature of a sermon.
which ended too soon for many of his
hearers. He spoke on the Needs and
Opportunity Offered Christians. The
three great needs he pointed out
were Power, Faith and Love, with
which all things were possible. In Il
closely connected and interesting
style he followed out his theme, show
ing how they might be obtained and
how the were necessary i'm the
Christian life. He shayed off only
once from direct line of thought
when he referred to the great victory
which had been won over Tammany
recently in New York, n victory Cor
the good OF the country he pointed
out.
DIR. Barbour made fine impression
on his audience and many expressions
"i delight at his lecture were heard
after the meeting.

NEED OF MORE RADIUM.
Scarcity OF Metal Prevents Thorough
Trial as Cure for Cancer.

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Scarcity of ra-
dunn has prevented thorough test
of what it's curative properties may
be in cancer, according to the report
made to the clinical congress of sur
geons in session here by the caLcer
committee.
only time will tell what percen-
tage of cases can be cured with ra-
dium," the report states. I'm the
meantime the public should be in
formed through every possible
source that early surgical treatment
offers the best chance for cure. The
surgeons who have reported the best
results from radium still urge early
oper; on when possible.
"Few surgeons in this country have
enough radium to give Il thorough
trial. 1t has appeared that extensive
doses sometimes have cured when
small amounts have had little effect
1t is suggested that radium should be
standardized to eliminate variations in
it's strength
Present death statistics on the
scourage are Of questionable value, it
was said. Frederick Hoffman of
Newark, n. j., declared that discus
sion of whether cancer is on the in
crease at present was merely guess
work.
"Seventy-iive thousand persons in
the United States will die in 1913"
said Mr.. Hoffman. THE death rate is
S.6 per cent of the total mortality of
persons over rs. Statistics, however.
may reflect merely better diagnosis
and death registration.
Importance of early diagnosis and
surgical treatment was unanimously
urged by the delegates i'm resolutions
adopting the report. No other pro-
cedurc offers hope at present, it was
declared.

Camden, Nov. 14.-Several people

as brake on his trailer refused to
penetrate the hard ground he lost con-
troll Of his machine with the above re-
suits.
Mrs. King, mother Of Walter King,
OF this city, received the full force of
the machine and was severely bruised.

unconscious for q few moments. His
little daughter was also slightly
bruised. James Sheorn was bruised
and his clothes badly torn. Mcdowell

little Jack Nettles, who was with the
nurse, was thrown on one of the
planes of the machine, but was upin-
jured. Mr.. Terrell received a bruised
arm, when thrown from his seat.
The accident happened so quickly
that people were dumfounded. Wo-
men and children became hysterical
and rushed toward the injured in
search Of friends or relatives.
For several minutes a small panic
reigned, but the crowd was soon
calmed by the assurances of number
Of men that the injuries we're nc,
serious.
Mr.. Terrell broke down and wept
and IL was some time before he could
be induced to leave the grounds and
return to- the hotel, where he is stop
ping. The accident apparently was
unavoidable.
The crowd had been warned not to
go on the ground where the accident
took place, but in it's anxiety to get
good view did not heed the warn
ings.
Another large crowd attended to-

LEVER ON COTTON BILL.
Says Objections of Mr.. Neville Could
Easily BE Met.

Congressman a. f. Lever was asked
while in the city yesterday on his
way to Chester, where he will speak
today il he would say anything about
the objections raised by George w.

cotton exchange and now an active
and prominent member of it, in his
interview in The State yesterday
morning to the suggestion about de-
ilVery o. cotton at Southern points,
including Columbia, Of cotton under
New York exchange contracts.
Mr.. Neville is mistaken" said Mr..
Lever, "in his opinion that the Smith
Lever bill would prevent the making
OF Columbia delivery point for cot
ton under the exchange contract.
His objection that the government
standards include nine white grades
is not tenable under the present cir
cumstances. The defeat of the Clarke
amendment to the tariff bill disposes
OF that of proposition.
NO bill is now pending in congress.
as | recollect. that includes the prin-
ciple involved in the 'Smith-Levcr'
proposition. While it is likely that
bills will be introduced containing the
thought running through that propo-
sition. il is also likely that i'm framing
such measures serious consideration
would be given to the inclusion of
provisions for the standardizirg by
the government of 'uplands, tinges'
and stains If that assumption be
correct. it seems that Mr.. Neville's
objection as to the government stand
ards would be met"
Mr.. Lever did not care to express
any opinion as to other questions dis
cusscd by Mr. Neville I'm his inter
view, involving points Of law. I'm

new FRAUD ON CONSUMERS,
DANGER OF BUYING SAND IN
CHICKENS POINTED OUT.
Government Inspectors OH Trail of
Those Who Adulterate Chickens by
Filling Them with Gravel-At
Twenty Cents a Pound Comes High

Washington, Nov. 14.-"Look out
for sand in the Chickens is the latest
slogan of the department Of agricul-
ture and it's sleuths who are on the
trail for violation of the pure food
law and the sale of impure and del
eterious food products.
The government inspectors have for
some time been investigating the prac-
tices of certain poultry shippers who
collect chickens from farms and kill
and ship them in large quantities. In
some Of these places the inspectors
found that the practice was to take
the chickens as they came from the
farm, nearly always below weight or
out of condition because of their be-
ing ill-fed on the farms and handled
roughly on the cars and keep them
in fattening pens for from Chree days
to two weeks. The chickens are fed
corn meal and water or finely ground
mixed grains and buttermilk. This
practice is becoming more and more
general and is highly desirable because
both quality and quantity Of edible
flesh is increased. 1t is also profitable,
as the cost Of care, feed and interest
on the investment necessary to add a
pound in weight still leaves a good
margin OF profit provided the fat
tening is rightly done.
Not content, however, with adding
legitimately to the weight of the
chickens, some Of these poultry ship
pers, a day or two before the chick
EN- is killed, feed red pepper, which
makes the chicken have an abnormal
appetite, then they feed mixture of
fine sand and little corn meal.
The chicken eats this mixture raven
Ously and as a result large quantities
Of sand are introduced into the craw
and the intestines as we'll. This may
amount. in the case Of single chick
en-. to only an ounce or two, but where
thousands Of chickens are sold the
aggregate charge for sand becomes
important. 1t simply means that the
poultry dealer is selling sand to the
customers at the rate Of 20 cents or
more per pound.
The housewife should scrutinize the
crops Of poultry before buying and
make it very plain to her poultry
dealer or butcher that she will not
pay at the rate Of 20 to 80 cents per
pound Tor an ounce Or more Of sand
introduced into the body Of a chicken
with the view Of defrauding the pur-
against food in the crop, because
quite aside from fraud, the presence
of food means that the chicken has
not kept as we'll as it would have kept
had it been starved for "a hours be-
fore killing. All reputable poultry
packers starve the birds before
slaughter. which results in empty in
testines as we'll as empty crops. The
makeshift of cutting a slit in the crop
and squeezing out that food is not
satisfactory, because that does not
empty the intestines. If the house
wife would have the poultry drawn in
her own kitchen she could catch
frauds of this character and take
means TO prevent them.
