FROM RIBBONS AND BEADS
Dainty NeckIets That May Be Made at
Home Just the Thing for
Simple Blouse.

Dainty necklets fashioned from rib
hons and heads can be made at home
easily. For the simple blouse or frOck
of today they are exactly the thing.
Many women have odd lengths of mar
row ribbon laid by, remnants secured
ut the last sales. Anything in ribbons,
velvet or MORE from one to three
yards will come in useful.
Pearl drops can be bought for five
or ten cents. The expense of the neck
lace may be obtained by the use Of
imperfect trinkets, such as a pair of
earrings or an old cameo. A simple
form of necklet is a green velvet one
with amber drop. It is merely length

contest is over. 1t means aquick
squirt, we'll sustained, to win,
Make up your mind and enter
now.
This thing is going to be decid-
ed by hard work. The prizes
we are giving justify hard work
and we feel certain that anybody
who wins one of the larger
prizes is going to feel amply re-
paid for their time and trouble.
1t is one of the fairest contests
ever staged. There are positive
ly no blanks : if you enter and
accomplish anything at all you
are bound to receive some prize
when the awards are made, for
to those who do not draw one of
the stated prizes, ten per cent
commission will be paid.
The $4,000 diamond ring has
arrived : it is a beauty. 1t is set
not in a platinum lined mounting
but in a solid platinum mounting,
tiffany style. This is more ex-
pensive and Mr.. Lynch states
that if the winner prefers a
platinum lined mounting he will
be glad to make the exchange.
Ask Mr.. Lynch to show you
the ring.
We will furnish full supplies
to all who will call at our office
for them. If you want sample
copies of the Herald to show to
prospective subscribers, we will
be glad to furnish the number

The BARRIERS of Roanoke Rapids

a shave is worth fifteen cents in
these days of altitudinous prices
and have so notified the public
as shown by their advertisement
which appears in this issue. That
the price will stick goes without
saying: every barber in the COM
munity is a party to the agree
ment and the raise is in line with
the raises which have been made
in other towns. The only other
change made in the schedule is
the raise of children's haircuts

To Prevent Diabetes

As to the prevention and cure
of diabetes, which, according to
statistics, is now more or less on
the increase, a noted physician
of this country gives the follow
ing timely suggestions: "Diabet
es is not exactly a disease, but in
a certain sense is a symptom. 1t
runs in families and in some
cases is inherited. Fat people
are very prone to it. They, as
we'll as persons who inherit a
tendency to diabetes, should have
their urine examined twice a
year for sugar. They should
guard against obesity and dia-
betes, by eating no candy or
other sweets and by limiting the
amount of starches eaten. The
man who in middle life gives up
hard, physical work and is pro,
noted to an office chair with in
creased mental worry, is ex-
posed.
Probably the best way to
prevent diabetes is to keep physi-
cally fit; to keep the muscles
firm, solid and we'll under con-
troll of the nerves. Regulated
exercise, with freedom of worry,
mental excitement and mental
over-work are important factors
in the prevention of diabetes.
Periodic physical examinations
is one of the best means to de-
tect this disease and to divert its
attack"
