FINAL WORD FROM
CHAIRMAN TEBEAU.

To the People of Hendersonville and
Henderson County:
We are nearing the close of the Red
Cross Christmas Membership Cam
pa.gn. Reports from most sections of
the county indicate that We are doing
well. The people as a whole are re-
spending noblY to the call of the Red
Cross for help in the tremendous work
, it is trying to- do. 1 am sorry to say
that in a few parts of the county re-
ports to me, show that the response
mas not been very good. Some give
as an excuse for not joining and help
ing in the work that they have seen or
heard of instances where there has
been waste or inef6ciency on the part
of some individuals engaged in Red
Cross work. I do not doubt that for a
moment There has been, and always
will be; some waste and some inett1-
! cheney in any organization as big as
the Red Cross. No doubt there is
some OF both in our government Fed
eral, State, County, and Municipal,
but we do not stop contributing to 1t
on that account. No more should we
hesitate to do what We can afford for
the work of the Red Cross. It is no
more perfect than anything else de-
signed and run by man, but it is doing
great work for the benefit OF human
| ity. Rest assured that your money
will be as we'll used as it is humanity
possible to use it. Because the cam
paign is progressing nicely, let us not
! slacken our efforts, but make greater
ones in the last days, and, instead of
getting 600 new members in the coun-
ty. let us make it 1000 or 1900. Let
me urge all who have not yet Joined
the Red Cross to give or send your
name and money to one of the numer-
Gus women and men who are giving
freely of their time and effort to carry
this thing through. Lend hand, and
let's go cover the Top"
In the name of the Red Cross,
Gratefully yours,
A. G. TEBEAU, Chairman
Christmas Membership Campaign.

WHY DO you swEAR7

Suppose you are given to the habit of
swearing. You enter into conversation
with a man who never swears. or, in
other words, with a gentleman. By and
by you begin to see that he is the su-
perior man Your own remarks have a
tame, flat. feeble sound to your ears.
Your cheeks begin to burn with a sense
Of your friends excellence. Your pert
little drama sounds course and drop out
Of you sentences ashamed to remain in
the company of good company, Of good
honest English words until you discover
that you are carrying on your part of
the conversation without swearing, you
feel easier. Your intellect, real stature
Increases by a foot. Most of us know
the power OF Influence. Give a child
his first years in a loving Christian
home, a good. noble mother a conse-
Grated father, all tremendously work
ing together for the good of mankind.
That home may be humble. but a home
in the truest sense of the word. after
years may bring temptations and trials
and cares, but the influence OF that
home can never be blotted out nor its
power for good ever overestimated.
First influences will last until life it.
self Is gone. If our Influence counts
for so much, ought We TO ever grow
weary striving TO make that influence
strong for good? But how soon when
we have made good resolutions and
promised to be more thoughtful and kind
do we fall back into the old listlessness
and let opportunities for good pass by
that would make us rich with their
blessings. n. q REID.

thoughts went TO the little children that

the little children whose parents are
too absorbed in other things 20 give
them the loving they need. and 70 the
little children growing up like weeds
because their parents would rather DO
the work than be patient enough TO
teach them a little child enjoys be-

Sure! High Heels

Who Cares Now

Hospital records show that every
time you cut a corn you invite lockjaw
or blood poison, which is needless, says
a Cincinnati authority, who tells yod
that a quarter ounce of a drug called
freezone can be obtained at little cost
from the drug store but is sufficient to
rid ones feet Of every hard or soft corn
or callus.
You simply apply few drops OF free
zone on a tender, aching corn and sore
ness is instantly relieved. Shortly the en-
tire corn can be lifted out, root and ali,
without pain.
This drug is sticky by dries at once
and is claimed to just shrivel up any
corn without infaming or even irritating
the surrounding tissue or skin.

cheat. or tell an untruth or take Gods
name in vain? Doing these things and
pretending TO teach morality is a mock
cry To cover these sins up you say
in the presence of your child. Nobody
can keep all the commandments The
children then get the idea that it's all a
sham. they measure the world by the
lessons learned at home. There are
some men and women who pride them
selves on what the world thinks of them

she might devote to things she cares

W nat COCAINE -.


From the Chicago Chronicle.
Cocaine is an alkaloid of a small shrub
found in Peru and Bolivia. The official
name of the drug as used in medicine is
cocaine sulphate, a salt derived from the
shrub treated with sulphurate acid. Co
caine is composed of carbon, hydrogen
and nitrosyl reduced to a sulphate. Each
element of the compound has a direct in
fluence on the nervous system, blood and
lymphatics. 1t possesses the singular
property of killing all sensation of pain
in the parts where il is locally applied
while elevating the mind of the patient
to a pitch of exaltation absolutely with
out parallel
That 1t is a wonderful drug we can all
admit--and that it is dangerous drug, the
authorities have convinced us. The CO.
phine habit and no matter where you
find it, it makes an exhibit OF its
powers.
1 had a number of teeth extracted some
years ago, and the dentist proposed TO
cocaine" before the extraction. Before
he succeeded I'm extracting twO-his
needle" broke and there was none near
er than Atlanta, fifty miles away. I had
been timid about the business, and then
felt a little irritated to know I must
quit and come another day." or say, go
ahead" and get done with It," 1 decided
10 go ahead and 1 had no complaint to
make.
The virtue in cocaine is the "deadening
of pain" So far so good. When 1t gets
to be a habit it will give trouble-and
affect health and happiness.
