amendment in congress, North Caro-
linians in congress have been flooded
with letters and kilograms asking
their assistance in behalf of the in
creased pay for the rural carriers.
Only a few days ago, Representative
Pou of the Fourth district made a
speech in the house in behalf of the
rural carriers and advocating an in.
crease in their pay.
Senator Simmons at the other end
of the capitol has been an earnest
advocate in behalf of the increased
salaries and is using all his influence
in the hope Of having the amendment
favorably acted upon.
In view of the fact that under a
Democratic administration, the post
office department is now on a paying
basis, it would seem that there should
be little or no opposition to an ad
vance in the salaries of rural carriers

THIRST FOR NEWS THE
ONE PASSION IN PARIS

One Of the particularly striking
things Of this time of stress and ex-
element in Paris is the eagerness Of
every human being for a newspaper
The little midinettes who usually read
nothing but the serial story, the omni-
bus conductors, the finely dressed wo-
men in their limousines, every one
reads every edition of every paper.
Life is full Of abrupt changes for a
working continental nation where
mobilization can call out all types and
conditions of men in less than a week.
A persons daily acquaintances take
on a romantic aspect; for the con-
cierge is an artillery man, find, and
has a medal for being the best gun
layer In his battery. The most obse-
Quious waiter at the Cafe de Paris
gives orders in the army instead of
taking them. And who could have i'm
agined that the nice young man who
marcels your hair is a cuirassier and
will perhaps be charging around with
a cleaning breastplate and a heavy
saber in place of curling iron with
which he will treat heads.

PIMPLEs ITCHED AND BURNED

Route No. 8, Dadeville, Ala.-"I was
troubled with terrible breaking out
between my shoulders and down to
ny hips. 1t came in pimples and my
back looked very red and raw. It
itched and burned SO that sleep and
rest were impossible and I could not
sleep any hardly for weeks. My
clothes irritated my back till it got
SO sore had to have a soft cloth
pinned to my shirt.
AS l heard of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment for years bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura
Ointment and to my surprise and joy
my itching and burning had disap-
peared. My back had been so raw
and infamed l could not lie on it and
the first application brought relief. l
washed my back twice a day with q
strong lather Of Cuticura Soap and
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
In two weeks I was sound and we'll
and have never been troubled since"
