Two More Bridges

Two more of our ugly fords are
being provided with bridge, that
at Vanderpool with an iron struc'
/ture, the one at Asbery Chapel
with one of wood. As most of oul
readers know, theVanderpooi bridge
was let several months ago, the two
men now here representing the
contractors. This ford has long
been in need of bridge, the cross
ing getting very ugly every winter.
The bridge at Asbery is being put
in by the contractor, A. p. Bever-
age. This, too, is a bad crossing
and the improvement is badly
needed. 1t is universally deplored,
however, that the much needed
change in the road there was not
made before the bride was erected.
The bank on the north side of the
creek is a disgrace to the county,
and, in the judgment of many, the
elimination of that wretched bank
was more urgent than the bridge.
The change will come, but when?

In Memoriam

In sad but loving remembrance
of my dear cousin, Iona Malcolm,
who died Aug. II 1914.
"My dear cousin has left us,
For a fairer CLINE above,
Where no sorrow ever enters
But all is peace and love.
She is sleeping clamly sleeping
Near the church she loved so dear,
And the vines around her creeping,
While the birds sing everywhere.
Her busy hands are folded,
g.. Her work on earth is Ger,
She has gone to meet her saviour,
And loved on gone b fore,
We miss her at the freside,
We see her vacant chair,
Her room looks dark and lonely,
We miss her every where.
1t" was only few short weeks
until the message came that she
had crossed the river. Now she is
calmy sleeping, for her suffering
are all over. We have parted, but
not for ever; we have not long on
earth to dwell, than let us not be
sad hearted. . For Jesus doeth all
things well. When my dear cousin
left us, it was on an autumn day;
a gentle voice said, Come, you
have served me long and faithful,
I'll take you to your home" You
ore gone but not forgo ten.
Written by her loving cousin,

Highlander Killed in West

August 2lst
Highland Recorder
For the benefit of those who learn
of the sad death of Van Armstrong
| will give you the circumstances
under which he lost his life. AS
near as we could learn the details.
on Wednesday morning, the 18th
he complained of not feeling we'll
and told his Uncle Van, for whom
he worked, that he would rest that
day. and some time in the forenoon
got on his bicycle and went to Lex
ington. From there he went pre-
sumably to Chenoa. and on his re:
turn, heavy rain came up and
the condition of the road became
: such that he could not ride the
wheel further, and there being 8
freight train taking water at ba-
lard, he put his wheel in an open
box car and climbed in to ride
ba' k to Lexington, which he did.
A passenger train being due at that
time going north, the freight beirg
south bound, did not stop at the
station but proceeded on through
to take the siding which is about a
mile, and he not being acquainted
with conditions thought the train
was not going to stop, and in at
tempting to get off was thrown
against the rails and ties of the
west track where he was found
a few minutes after by the train
crew, dead. No one knows
just how it happened or where he
had been. He being nephew of
mine l made an effort to find out
the particulars as far as possible:
The jury's verdict was "aceidental
death on railroad"

INFECTION AND INSECT
BITES DANGEROUS

Mosquitoes, flies and other in
sects, which breed quickly in gar
bage pals, ponds of stagnant water,
barns, musty places, ect., are car
riers of disease. Every time they
bite you, they inject poison into
your system from which some dread
disease may result. Get bottle
of Sloan's Liniment. 1t is antisep-
tic and few drops will neutralize
the infection caused by insect bites
or rusty nails. Sloan's Linlment
disinfects Cuts, Bruises and Sores.
You cannot afford to be without it
in your home. Money back if not
satisfied. Only Csc. at your Drug
gist. adv

Summer Constipation
DANGEROUS

Constipation in Summertime is
more dangerous than in the fall,
winter or spring. The food you
eat is often contaminated and is
more likely 70 ferment in your
stomach. Then you are apt to
drink much cold water during the
hot weather, thus injuring your
stomach. Collie, Fever, Ptomaine
Poisoning and other ills are natural
results. Po-Do-Lax will keep you
we'll, as it increases the Bile, the
natural laxative, which rids the
bowels of the congested poisonous
waste. Po-Do-Lax will make you
feel better. Pleasant and effective.

Advertising
Talks
A
DON'T STOP THE COAxlNG
While You Are Stopping Some One
Else VIII Come Along and Grab
the Business.

Did you ever watch a person feed
little chicks from ones hand? How
timid the little things are at first; how
you have to coax and coax them
along, throw q few grains of feed out
into the grass-if 1t be palatable
chick feed they will want more. AS
the feed Is thrown out a little nearer
each time to the person feeding, the
chicks become holder and holder until
they finally eat from the hand. Fool
them once, however, with something
that's not to their liking, or hurt them
the least bit, and it's struggle, and
a hard one. too, to get them back
again. Keep on feeding them good
things, pet them, and they come after
bit at the first call-and In a hurry,
too.
But what. you say, has this chick
talk to do with advertising? says
Bucks Shot. It's got whole lot to
do with it. 1t teaches the observer
mighty important lesson-and one
that should be well learned. >
Advertising is like feeding the
chicks. Your first big page announce
ment, filled, as you believe, with the
most attractive values-hardly any d.
rect results in goods actually sold, lots
of look around" but they are little
timid. The next announcement, how
ever, brings more lockers and you
close a few sales. Keep up this con-
slant feeding, with the sort of food
the buyers want; keep coaxing and
coaxtng with good, dependable offer
ings, follow 1t up with good, clean
store and delivery service, and, like
the chicks, the public will soon learn
to trust you-through liking your ad-
vertising food, and will come constant
Iy at your call.
1t won't do to stop that coaxing;
while you are stopping some one else
may come along and educate the
chicks his way. Keep up a constant
coaxing; allow no tagging in youi
feeding the public, no tagging In you
store or delivery service, and the
public will soon learn to know that
you and your store are their best
friends.

Cooking Counts In
Good Health

Richmond, Va, Aug. 10, 1914
Especially "a man cannot keep
| healthy on bad food we'll cook,
neither can he keep healty on good
food badly cooked" is the text on
which the State Board of Health
bases an extensive bulletin on the
preparation and acooking of food
sent today to all those on the mail
ing list of the Board.
ITO resist the germs of disease
argues the Board, "a man must
keep his body strong; to strengthen
the dody a man must eat nourish-
| ing and digestible food; to be
nourishing and djgestible, foods
must contain certain compounds;
these compounds in most cases are
| not rendered suitable for eating
except by good cooking,
The new bulletin tseats at
length of the composition of the
various foods, of the combination
in which they may be served and de-
scribes the fundamental operations
in cooking bread, meats and
vegetables.
Emphasis is laid on the i'm
portanee of studying, in this day
of high prices, the comparative
value of the various foods and the
percentage of waste that must be
paid for.
Many people" declares the
bulletin, "'seem to think that be-
cause food is more expensive
than another, it is better, and
that the best is the most costly.
As a matter of fact, studies have
shown that if the cheap and widely
distributed foods are we'll cooked.
they are generally richer in food
values than the more expensive
dishes Salt pork, for instance -
left generally as a food for the very
poorest = has three times the food
value of porterhouse ste k; "a pound
of bread contains seven times as
much available food as pound of
lobster, deemed a great delicacy.
1t is because people do not under
stand these simple facts that they
spend far more than is necessary
for food, at the same time, get far
less in food value for their money
than by the purchase of better,
cheaper foods"
THE percentage of parts which
cannot be eaten in food must be
borne in mind in determining its
value. Porterhuuse steak contains
an average of 1877 per cent waste
in bone and gristle; chuck rib beef,
a very common cut, contains 1913
per ent waste. In the case of
certain vegetables after the peelIng
or skin and the water are subtract
ed, there is practically no food
left. Of tomatods, for instance
94.3 per cent is water and only 81
is available food. Cymblings con-
tain so per cent refuse-waste and
1872 per cent water"
In view of the known demand
for pamphlet on Good Food, y
very large edition of the Boards
bulletin on the subject has been
printed. Copies will be sent free
of cost to all requesting it from
the offices of the Board in this
city.
