Living 100 Years

A London specialist, who declares
there are more centenarians in the
world than the general public sus-
poets, and that there ought to be a
good many more than there are,
lay. down ,he following supple rules
for long living:
uEa moderate
"D0 u0. worry.
"Taka plenty Of sleep.
Take plenty Of exercise.
'Eat plenty Of sugar, ree, fruit,
potatoes, bread aud milk.
"EN sparinglY Of fish and meat. I"
"Almost any person possessing
healthy constitution could live to
be hundred, say this same spe-
ciahst.
SIR James Crichton-Bowne, in a
paper read before the Public Health
Congress u London, declared thar
sit is a good working hypothesis
to regard the natural life of a man
as 100 years"
These eminent authorities thus re-
move all excuse for death at the
early age of so or 90.
The patriarch who has attained
bis three score has years Of hard hus-
tie still before him.
He who at that proverbial ripe
age thinks he has finished his life
Job, and contentedly lies down 10
death, is a miserable "qultter."
But these eminent specialists, who
talk so learnedly, are, after all,
only theorists. Neither of them
has yet attained 100 years or any.

NO MORE COLONIST TICKETS.

Washington D. c., July 4th.-No
more low, one way colonist rates
from any point on it's lines to the
West and Northwest will be sold by
Southern Railway Company. Presi-
dent announces that Southern Rail-
way Company has permanently
withdrawn from participation in
such rates from points where they
have been in effect by Southern
Railway to meet similar rates offer
ed by competing lines.
This announcement is in accord
ance with the policy of President
Harrison to do everything possible
to discourage the movement of peo-
pie from the South. For a number
OF years Southern Railway has en-
deavored to discourage the offering
Ct low colonist rates from the South
and has only placed them on sale
at points where it was felt neces-
sary to meet competition. From
this time on. however, no such
rates will be offreed by Southern
Railway, regardless of any action
that may be taken by any other
line. Southern Railway will con-
tinue to offer homeseekers rates
into the South and will do every-
thing possible to encourage the
coming of desirable settlers to the
territory along it's lines.
President Harrison feels that the
South offers greater opportunity
than any other section and that
people living in the South cannot
improve their conditions by moving
and that consequently the decision
to withdraw permanently any rates
which might serve as an induce
ment to some persons to leave the
South is in their interest as well as
IN the general interest of the South
and of Southern Railway Company.

BRAINS DULLED BY
CONSTIPATION
some PEOPLE Only half ALIVE.
DODSON'S LIVER TONE CLEANS
YOU OUT and WAKES
YOU UP.

When constipation is having its
evil effects on your body and brain,
Nature is doing her best to offset
them and overcome the cause itself.
But usually Nature cannot do this
unaided.
In the past many suffers at such
a time used to turn to dangerous
calomel in hope of relief. For some
people calomel does appear to give
a temporary benefit, but as mat
ter of fact it is poison that proves
to be injurious and even dangerous
to many. If you have ever taken
calomel you probably have suffered
from evil conditions following it's
use.
But nowadays great numbers of
people have learned how to feel
better, brighter and healthier by
taking Dodson's Liver Tone instead
of calomel. Indeed, this harmless
vegetable liquid is recommended by
Hoopers Drug Store and by the
Sylvia Pharmacy vino will refund
the purchase price to you without
question if you are not completely
satisfied with it.
Get a bottle of Dodson's Liver
Tone for SOC. and learn for your
yourself how easily and naturally
it assists Nature in getting rid of
and correcting constipation and
biliousness, how it clears away the
sick headache and coated tongue
and sets you right without ache or
grippe, without any interference
with your regular habits. Fine for
the children. They like to take it.

first PROSECUTION
MADE.
UNDERTAKEN CONVICTED FINED FOR
BREAKING VITAL STATISTICS Law.

Roxboro, July 2. The first prose-
cution and conviction under the
new Vital Stats tics Law was made
here today, The Vital Statistics
Department of the State Board of
Health brought charges of violation
of the new law against local un-
dertaker, Mr.. G. C. Critcher, for
burying bodies without burial
permit from the local registrar an d
for not furnishing death certificates
properly filled out. The case was
tried before Mayor Winsted and
the undertaken was convicted and
fined S. and costs.
In explanation the representa-
tive from the Board pointed out the
value, need and Importance of the
new law. He explained that the
State Board Of Health was CHARGED
with its enforcement, and that if
unenforced the results obtained
would be misleading and worse
than useless and the money appro-
priated for this work wasted. Thus
far the Board has tried to deal len
lently with the undertakes, mid
wives, physicians and others hav-
ing to do with the enforcement of
the new law, but it is believed that
ample time has been allowed for
every one to become ACQUAINTED
with It's provisions, and that here
after vigorous action should be
taken with offenders, particularly
malicious offenders. In other
worcs, there is a limit at which
patience ceases to be a virtue. !
IN the opinion of the Board that
limit has been reached and if .
number of other persons do not
comply with the law other prosecu-
tons will follow shortly.

With his Scotch aroused, Jolly re-

Recently the Des~ PLANES river

took them to the river. He teed off

The first drive struck the bank about
600 yards. The second went past the
only hazard, the jutting bank at curve
and, bounding along forty yards to
the bound, whizzed down the middle
of the river. The judge stationed at
the 1,0O0-yard mark says it was still
going strong when it passed him, but
bounded, struck an over-hanging will
low limb and, after rolling a few
yards further, rolled down slope in
the ice against the bank, where it
was found.

Practical Industrial Service.

A practical social service movement
which was conceived in the spirit of mu-
tual help rather than in charity was or
sanized in the winter of 1907 1905 by some
engineering students Of the Sheffield Sci
entitic School at Yale. The students of
this school began the work of giving free
New Haven, and from this work they
planned to derive better understanding
of those men whom they would one day
direct as foremen and supervising engi-
neers. The fact that the intention of the
movement was that the students and
workingmen should mutually benefit
through their association assured its sue
cess, and ii has grown until it has at
tracted wide attention in this country
and abroad
The Yale students organized small
classes of the New Haven workingmen
in English. engineering and other SUBJ
jects. There were mostly a dozen or
fewer men to a teacher. The classes

4 The Searchli8ht
Avalanches to Order for the Movies.


With his growing passion for realism
the producer of moving picture films is
continually straining at the leash Of pos
stbility In the realization Of his scenario.
He takes his camera with him into the
bowels Of Vesuvius: gathers local battle
color in Mexico: burns real houses and
photographs real rescues therefrom, and
takes all manner of daring chances that
movie lovers may see just how the real
thing looks. One of the latest ideas in
the manufacture of movies Is the stag
ing of genuine avalanches in the Alps
under the most favorable conditions.
Several moving picture plays have been
written which call for the terror and de-
struction of the avalanche not mere
puny stage effects of paper and cotton
bowling over cardboard trees, but for
huge masses of snow. ice and powders,
uprooting forest giants in mad course
down the steep mountainside. Pictures of
such thing are what the movie" oper-
ators are undertaking to produce in the
Swiss Alps.
Stage preparations for the movie"
avalanche are comparatively simple
Electric mines are placed deep in the
CONCEALED neves mantlng the creSts OF

nected by cable with magnetic In the

When the camera is ready push of the
control lever explodes a large quantity
of gunpowdel high on the mountain, and
in a trice real and terrible landslide is
cleaving its way toward the valley The
making of avalanches is found good
sport by those engaged, with just the
right tang of danger to themselves.

Birds in Natures Balance.

been limited by the birds and the num-
Der of birds by their food supply. But
man has interfered II he had begun by

the birds and SO the balance is disturbed
and man suffers for it. 1t Is estimated

Bugs That Sleep Upside Down.

Somebody is always discovering some
thing new about something. Likely as
not the subject upon which the discovery
is fastened is very, very old. But some
inquisitive person finds out that some
thing about them is distinctly unusual.
Now. who would expect to find a COM
mon, garden variety insect doing anything
out of the way? Nevertheless, this is
what certain professors of the imperial
| university of st. Petersburg have done.
They have unearthed an insect that sleeps
upside down.
Standing on its head, with its legs
straight up in the air. this insect sleeps
profoundly for four or five hours a day.
In fact, it goes into a trance. from which
1t awakens with great difficulty. until
the time nature has provided for 1t to
get up and eat.
The Russian scientists found that the
only way they could rouse this strange
creature. which they have named the
stick insect was to pinch vigorously
their outstanding legs or otherwise to ex-
cite them. When standing on their heads
asleep they look just like sticks, merging
into their surroundings, and hence their
unusual name.
