And Now "Mr. Fashion" Gives Miss Fashion" Tit For
 Tat and the Sdrordl World Sits Up and Takes Notice

comical, horrid thing that fashion hap pens to decree, but a man.. why he wouldn't any more be dictated to about ms clothes than he'd be dictated to by about what he eats for breakfast"
 think that shows their sense," said the conservative lady. Just imagine one Of our best looking, tall, well-groomed men, stalking downtown with his new spring suit on wearing a hat with a feather in it plucked from the tail of canary bird, or with his evening clothes wearing an ostrich tip or a waving feather from some strutting peacock's plumage. They may wear dinky little bows in their daring green velour chapeaux in the win ter, but we forgive them; but I don't believe, as much of an advocate as I am of men being up-to-date and stunning in their sartorial effects. that I could stand for the feathers"
 But l thought you" began Miss Fashion
 .'Yes. know that seems a trifle incon- sistent. but I don't intend it that way" interrupted the other. 'Nice men don't wear all those fool things of course. What I rnes nt was that they should make the best of their features and height and wear stylish things, but not outre af- fairs. Most men care too little about their personal appearance. The only thing that matters to them is that their clothes are clean. I've got three broth CTS and know.
 Most men rather dislike being all dressed up and no place to go like sin, said Miss Fashion, but I don't believe it. Why. I knew a man once whom they said took hours to do his face and his nalls and his hair. Women are consid- cred the original little 'primpers,' but be- lfeve me, some men have got them beat a block. I bet you dollar there'll be lot of them who will wear corsets. They say that the newest models in coats for men this season demand the wasp waist and how's he to get it, his tailors ask unless he wears corsets so he can draw himself in?' With that kind of waist and the tight, queer, little trousrs, and oh so short-won't the men be frights?"
 q believe you are jealous' said the conservative lady. You are afraid if the styles for MT. Fashion become so pro- nounced as to attract attention, some of it will be taken away from you, and-well, I'm strong for MT. Fashion myself do like to see men dressed up, so here's to you, MT. Fashion-may your tribe in creasel'

WELL PLEASED WITH
 AUBURN CREAMERY

Auburn, March 12.-(Special. .)-Noel Neg ley of Auburn, and the United States de- partment of agriculture, in an interview, the work of the recently established Au- burn creamery.
 MT. Negley says: Everywhere we hear diversification preached, but the farmers are learning, if they did not already know, that talking diversification Is one thing and practicing it is quite another. Auburn is lot only preaching diversification. She IS helping the farmers to practice 1t. The best way for the Lee county farmers to market the corn, oats, cowpeas, etc.. which they are going to raise on the farm in place of cotton, is through the dairy COW; thereby keeping the fertility on the land and selling only the cream to the local creamery at Auburn.
 "Thc primary object of the creamery movement was to provide market for the cream from the farms in Lee county, but the record shows that only a very small amount of the money paid for cream went to the farmers of Lee county. Ire farmers in this county need diversi- fled farming, and its cash returns at least as much as any other county in the state, yet they seem very backward in taking advantage of the opportunity that lies at their very doors. Because or the fact that express rates on cream are very low and the empty cans are returned free, a great amount of cream is being received from points over 1Ot miles away.
 Because of the large amount of cream being received. and the interest shown by the farmers of the state, the Auburn creamery is installing machinery that will enlble 1t to produce a high class product second to none.''

BROUGHT BACK
 NATURAL HEALTH
The Facts About an Interest ing Case Of Serious Female Trouble Benefited By the
 Use of Cardui

Walnut Cove, N C-Mrs. E. A. Rothrock, of this town, says: About two years ago I was in very bad health for three or four months.
 At this time I had a serious female trouble, which lasted severely for nine weeks. I got awfully weak and could scarcely go, and my doctor said I ought to be in bed
 My two sisters, who had used Cardui with good results and who now use it as tonic, recommended it highly to me, saying it is a fine medicine.
 I felt if l lived I must have some- thing to help me, and as other medi- cines had failed to relieve me, I thought l would try Cardui, the womans tonic. At this time I was almost skin and bones
 I seemed to improve after the use of the second bottle of Cardui. The trouble stopped, I suffered less pain, and began to get back my strength and health. I took five more bottles health. also my flesh, and could do my work easily.
 This spring I was run down in health; had over-worked myself I took nearly three bottles of Cardui, as a tonic, and 1t brought me back to my natural state of health.
 Last week I put up IS jars of fruit. which could not have done before taking Cardui. I am glad I heard of it, and hope other women will too"
 Your case may not be as bad as the above, but even if only mild case, we suggest that you begin today to try Cardui the woman's tonic

Gee" giggled Miss Fashion, as she dashed down the street, arrayed in her prettiest togs, on her way to sip choc- olate soda, "did you get that?"
 'what?" chorused the others in the "bunch."
 That" she emphasized jerking her head in the direction of perfectly harm less looking youth, who was passing. He's a riot and thinks he's the classiest thing on the parade. Do you get the effect of the ashes of roses tie, on the plaited blue shirt, and the whit spats with the polka dotted hose? Whenever I see anything like that, I always feel like quoting the little verse:
 !" "A Palm Beach suit and saucer hat,
 White socks and cigarette;
 A bamboo cane and some Oxfords flat, Oh, whenever I gaze on a man like that,
 I vote for the suffragette.' ]"
 "well, and why shouldn't there be a MT. Fashion, I'd like to know de- manded a more conservative member of the group. 'sWhy shouldn't men wear all the fool things that are gotten up TUT lHtill III lHc way Ol iidtct FcStS, SoN'NS and boots, as well as women? Bright colored ties and dashy hats are about the only things they can wear to offset the dull dark shades that are inflicted upon them in the suit line. The average man looks about as cheerful to me in his sartorial getup as a tombstone, and as brilliant as a London fog in November. A mans clothes ought to do the same thing for him that woman's do for her. He can't plan them to De sure, so that he can bring out his best points and hide his defects. An unattractive girl, however, can dress so that you won't notice how homely she is, but what can a poor man do? Nothing at all. A man who gets himself up attractively-in fact, that dashing swain we just passed de- serves a Carnegie hero meoal. He's he gets away with it, be- cause people get excited over his tie and his hat. and they don't look at his face"
