Famous Beauty Tells
Hair Curling Secrets

"I cannot too strongly condemn the
use of the hot curling-lron," says Rita
Moya. "It means death to the hair
eventually. Moreover 1t is entirely un-
necessary. The hair can be made beau
tifully wavy and curly to any extent
using such a simple thing as pure sill
merine. This perfectly harmless liquid
should be applied to the hair with a
clean tooth brush at night. In the
morning you will find that very beau
tiful natural wave ana curliness has
resulted. and the effect will last a con-
siderable time.
The liquid silmerine is very bene-
fetal and is not sticky or greasy.
Neither does it streak the hair or stain
the scalp. You need not get more than
few ounces from your druggist. The
best way is to divide the front and
hack hair into from four to six strands
and to moisten each strand thoroughly
from root to ip."-Advertisement.

TIPPING PULLMAN PoRTERs.

Chicago, May 4.-Robert T. Lincoln,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Pullman company, frankly told the
United States Commission on Indus
trial Relations here today that he be-
lieved the system of paying sleeping
car porters should be changed and
that wages of Pullman car conductors
should be increased. Both Of these
subjects he said would be taken Up
by the .company's directors in the
near future.
The son of President Lincoln freely
discussed the subject of tips upon
which porters are compelled to rely
for a living. He insisted, however,
that employment afforded the negro
by the Pullman company has been one
OF the most uplifting opportunities the
race has had. While declaring his De
lief that tipping of Pullman porters
by the public would continue even i
the meager salary or $3.50 a month
were increased, MI. Lincoln admitted
that the wage system for porters was
Anticipated and had given him consid-
cradle annoyance.

During the evening Austen Cham

creasing the taxes on beer, wine ana
spirits, which the Unionists and Ma

that he intended to confer with brew
ers and distillers and also that he
was open to consider their proposals.
He added, however, that he would
ask that the government be given
power to control the sale of liquor in
the areas where munitions of war are
made.
The general impression in the lobby

taxes on wines, beers and spirits
either will be withdrawn or greatly
modified, far above all things, the
government desires unanimity.

H. r. Savage has sold the Hender-
sonville Automobile company to II. M.

en- charge of the business.

The new owners of the concern are
planning to make many improve
ments, including additional equip
ment in machinery and a full line of
supplies and accessories.
Mr.. Calvert is an experienced me-
chanic, having been connected with
the Carlson Motor company of New

sTATEsvILLE WORRYING OVER
SMALL CHURCH ATTENDANCE

The people of Statesville have drop
ped out of the habit Of going to the
| evening services in the churches to
such an extent that these services,
according to a report by John f. Kirk;
secretary of the Ministerial Associa-
ltion. made in The Landmark, "are
verging on failure" The subject was
up for discussion at a meeting of the
ministers of StatesVille, and as a re-
suit the secretary made a statement
in the paper in which the congrega-
ton are asked to decide what is to
be done in the matter. They are ask
ed to answer the direct question:
Shall the evening services be discon-
tinued for lack of attendance?" This
situation seems strange when we con-
siderd that Statesville is within "A
miles of the greatest religious cam
paign eVer known in the State, that
many S~tatesville people have attend
ed the services in Charlotte and that
on one occasion a StatesVille train has
been run to the Charlotte meeting.
| Ordinarily in all North Carolina towns
tie night services are attended by but
3 small part of the people who go TO
church in the forenoon but States
Vile is perhaps the only town in the
State whose people have been asked
by the preachers to say whether the
church doors shall be closed at night.
The Landmark has invited the people
of it's town to say what they think
about it, and the outcome will DC
watched for with interest. A town in
this part of the State with no church
lights at night would occupy a unique

Broiled Ham

As soon as the warm days come the
appetite grows fckle; nothing tastes
just right and the housekeeper must
serve something different"
A change from the daily beef, NUT
ton or veal is found in ham and when
it is nicely cooked there is nothing
much better The flavor must be right
and the best are found in the hams
called sugar cured or honey drip. These
are really sweet favored and we'll
worth the few cents more that they cost
a pound.
Once in a while you will be so unfor-
tunate as to have ham that is too salty
or is lacking in flavor and then you
must use your best endeavor to make
up for the deficiencies in the meat.
If the cut seems dry and salty cover
it with water and let it heat gradually
in frying pan. Pour this water off
and proceed to broil the ham. Add but
surely please in its flavor.
If you like the sweet flavor of
southern hams ask for it when making
your purchase. Or when you cook the
ham slices, if they lack the sweet quail
ity, try this way. After the ham is pan
broiled in frying pan on top the stove
spread each slice with maple syrup and
add one tablespoon of butter and a
tablespoon of boiling water. Cover
closely and let this steam for three min
utes. Dish on a hot platter and pour
the liquor over it.
If you like the ham very crisp and
brown put little dripping in the fry
ing pan and when the ham is thoroughly
cooked sprinkle first one side and then
the other with sugar and allow it to
brown.
Ham should be very well cooked as
should all pork, else it is not wholesome.
