We have among the number,
some of the brightest young teachers
in the state. There are several of
unusual intelligence and capability.
A large representation from be

they are here from the sea-shore

ATTENTION, FARMERS!

Some years ago the Commission
er of Agriculture drew a bill which |
was unanimously passed by the
Legislature, to reduce the cost of |
legume inoculating material from
the eXorbitant price of two dollars
to an acre to a price at which he
felt the average farmer could afford
to use it. The effect of this bill
was to reduce the price of this
material not ONLY to the farmers of
North Carolina, but to those of the
entire South as well, and a number
of the other southern states have
since followed the lead Of North
Car lima in reducing the price
of this material to their farmers al
SO. At first the Commissioner
placed a cost Of fifty cents an acre
on the material with the determi-
nation to reduce the price lower
and lower as the demand increased.
During 1914 tn, Depar5m ent distri-
buted nearly 5000 acre bottles
from August to December, thus ef-
! fecting a direct saving to the far
mers OF the STATE Of over $40, OOC
in less thai four months During
the past six months the distribution
has reached around 1900 acres ant
the season has hardly opened. The
Commissioners feels therefore, that
the time has come to make another
cut in the price, and he now plan;
TO re luce the cost price OF tn
material from fifty cents al acre
to forty cents, beginning July
1915.

Select your foods so a to avoid

Eat only those vegetables that

Make use of old age sol olyents,
OF things that dissolve the mineral
matter in the body.
The above suggestions explain
themselves except in the last two.
Nature will not do for man what
he can do for himself. He must
find out FOR himself what to
do. When he is helpless, instinct
helps him; after that he is the max
er OF his own life and safety.
But nature has set up laws and
processes that man is to learn how
to use. The most wonderful of all
laws next to gravity, is that Of dis
tillation. 1t is intended to separate
the good from the bad. DistilIation
occurs in four forms: Vapor, Steam,
Fruits, and Young Vegetables
Vapor is the pure part Of the
ocean or other body Of water that
rises to the clouds, and is discha.g
ed to the earth again in the form
ot rain; the latter being the pure
part Of the wafer. This is a power
ful and immensely valuable solvent
Of old age deposits in the human
! body.
Steam is the same thing as vapor
except that it is given into the
hands Of man to aid him. Nan, b3
boiling any kind Of water, TO mat
2 ter how bad, is able to set free tn,
pure part in the form Of steam
often by double distillation; then t

l prevailing custom of letting tn
t steam escape and using the par
e that remains?
e Ley .l::.. ol steam that escape

boil, and then use it as quickly
ic possible. Many people allow t
ne and coffee to simmer all day loI

GROWiRG OL0: CAUSE and PREV, NTION
BY THE OLD BOY.

The fine microscopic glands un-
der the skin, millions upon millions
IN number, are also clogged and
stltfened with this excess of mineral
matter, and the skin takes on the
hue OF age, while it's fexibility and
softness are decreased. Wrinkles
come naturally on the face and
hands.
By the same clogging which en-
ters all tissues and membranes, the
stomach hardens and is no longer
able to digest animal fats.
The nerves and ganglia, or stor-
age centers Of vitality, are deprived
Of their flexibility, and cannot vi
brate the feelings and powers Of
life as we'll as formerly.
When the supply of mineral mat
ter is I'd c d to equal the demands
of the body for bone repairs; when
the foods are selected and prepared
to meet the needs Of life; and when
the methods cf living are simple,
reasonable, and in harmony with
the plain laws of nature; then old
age as period Of decreptitude,
weakness, helplessness. and loss of
faculties is anabsolute impossibility
Countless experiments involving
more than two hundred thousand
ca es. continued through many
years, confirms the above statement.
1t is true that some scientists claim
to have disc nvered the germ that
F causes Old age; but the destruction
of that gem does not take the coat
ing off the tissue OF out Of the veins,
nor prevent the hardening of the
arteries. On ,the other hand, the
simple process of lessening the
AMOUNT of miner i matter in the
food from day to day, does in fact
overcome the old age tendency.
Let us see what foods cause thi:
. process of getting old:
Z. Old beef, old mutton, old foW
and old fish; meaning the mea
from animals and fish that have
. lived to maturity, are one of th'
n causes Of old age deposits in tn
: body. The reason is plain. Whel
i ami nal life is growing, all the miner
~ al matter goes to make bones, an
- we do not eat the bones Whe
- growth has been attained, the min
~ eral matter then lodges in the tis
=. sues, and that is what we ca
al Hence we store an excess of minel
~ al matter from matured animal iii
~ into our own bodies. We transfe
uo the fault from one life to anothe
= which is our own.
- Hard water is another profit
- cause of old age deposits. Any OF
= who has seen the lining of kett
W in which hard water has been bo
% ed, knows what is meant.
: Mineral matter from medicine
i'0 either in the form of powder, pi]
70 or liquid, are prolific cause of 0
" age deposits.
io' Vegetables and roots that ha
l0o matured are also causes of old a
= deposits.
no Soups, broths, boiled Dime
ioo boiled water, tea and coffee, are
'io causes of old age deposits in t
body.

YOUR HEALTH
Don't Endan ger Ii
With Colomel

1t is generally agreed By eX-
perts in this country and Europe
that calomel has a very violent
effect on the system. This ac-
counts for the familiar disagree
able feeling accompanying a dose,
and the weakened condition fol
lowing it.
LY-VER-LAX is a harmless
vegetable compound, that is a
mild, but effective substitute for
calomel. 1t has all the effective
ness, but not the effect, OF calo-
mel. It's splendid value has
brought it into such wide.use that
in some states ii has almost en-
tirely replaced calomel.
Just try LIY-yER-LAX once, and
you'll newell use calomel again.
