Awaits The Coming OF Troops
From New England States
With Open Hands.
WELCOMES FRIENDS
AND RELATIVES ALSO
Good Old Southern Hospitality
Awaits New Ensianders in Char
lotte, Where Every AavaiIable 40
commodation is Being Planned BY
Citizens.

Charlotte awaits the coming of the
troops from the New England States
with open hands and their friends and
relatives as well. Their homes will
be thrown open to them. The South
ern hospitality which is somewhat
notably known throughout the nation
will be plenteously exercised toward
these soldiers who spend little while
here before going into the arduous
and dangerous labors Of the trenches.
The people of Charlotte are planning
now to put within reach of the troop
ers every q available accommodation.
Public drinking fountains are being
installed, rest and comfort rooms in
the hotels, restaurants, church base
ments, public buildings and empty
store rooms will be provided and the
soldiers will have an opportunity
from time to time to take a meal in
the homes of the leading citizens of
the community. They will be made
to feel that they have not fallen
among thieves" but among their
friends.
In addition to what is being done
for them by the commission for train
ing camp activities, this commission
having for its business chiefly the
entertainment and comfort of the
men, the provision of attractive enter
tainments, ETC., but the Young Mems
Christian Association will extend its
benefcient influence toward making
the stay OF the men here pleasant and
profitable. And in addition to all OF
these organized agencies, the indi.
vidual citizens of Charlotte will hold
back from the visiting guardsmen
nothing that will tend to give them a
taste of Southern hospitality and fee
the warmth and cordially of the wei
come generally felt for them into this
community, for a time to be their
home.
Charlotte Socially and Religiously.
Charlotte is recognized as one Of
the most religious cities in the world
This broad statement is substantiated
by the records which show that
greater proportion of the adult popu
lation Of the community attends di
vine worship than in any other city In
this country and only one in the
world exceeds it, that being Edin
borough, Scotland. The Christian
charity of the city is notable. II
shows itself in ample support giver
to those organizations having fol
their purpose the physical and mora
and spiritual uplift of the people. Il
maintains q number of splendid hos
pitfalls, the most recent acquisition II

bers over 700 pupils and in addition
there are numerous private schools for
the training Of the young. Horner's
Military Academy is one of the chief

Charlotte is the home of Queens Col
lege, the largest and finest-equipped
institution maintained by the South
ern Presbyterian church of the South.
Records on file in the United States
census bureau offices at Washington
Indicate that a higher percentage OF
the people of Charlotte own the homes
they occup- than in any other city
of the nation. The chief reason, per-
haps, for this condition Is that there
is far less proportion of alien-born
population in this community than
in any other section of the South

, tions, four of them through which
thousands Of residents are paying
weekly or monthly for the houses in
which they are living.
The City IndustraIIy.
Within latter years Charlotte has
made tremendous strides as a jobbing
center. The reason of its geographi.
cal location, being equi-distant from
the sandhills and the mountain re.
gions of the State and the central
point in the two Carolinas accounts
for the rapid growth of this business.
The element Of transportation has not
been the least of the conductive rea-
sons that Charlotte has maintained
such a uniform growth in this direc.
ton. 1t is at present the extreme
Southern city to which from the
main headquarters in Washington a
double track system prevails on the
Southern Railroad, the leading South
,ern transportation system.
Charlotte boasts the finest subur-
ban developments of any city in the
Carolinas. The launching Of Myers
Park, formerly an open area Of 1000
acres Immediately adjacent to the
city limits, financed by millionaires
and converted into a residential sec
ton Of surprising beauty, has added
chiefly in giving this city the name
and distinction of being distinctive
residential city and one, too, of ele-
CANT dwellings. On every side of the
city proper, large suburban develop

ten years and the drift of population

Some of the sturdy women in New
England, whose work has been one
of constant thrift and saving, are
outspoken on the Pledge Card Food
Campaign, and, as it appeals to them
they have a just cause for resent
ment. It. is straining ones good
nature to just about the breaking
point to ask these women, who have
constantly worked and planned to
save, aid by their successful efforts
have made the New England home
noted for its thrift, to save and con-
serve. These good women do not
grasp the full meaning of this food
campaign. There are many homes
where saving and conserving cannot
be more closely done than has
been followed, and these. homes are
just the ones to take part in this
work, and these housewives are just
the ones to make the Food Pledge
Campaign d success. They know
how far better than any detailed
order on conservation issued by gov
eminent fgurers who deduce, in
many cases, impossible results from
a series of equations like, two ounces
of sugar saved every day by each
person in the United States would
result in saving daily 12,500,000 lbs.
ALL of which is theoretically true but
practically impossible. However, the
idea is right and one all should pledge
to carry out, and these thrifty New
England housewives are the ones
who will make it success.

These are days of moulding public
opinion and the government has put
to work able speakers who are taking
part in war conventions and other
patriotic meetings including the
four-minute men on the food con-
servation. Vermont with other
states has been holding these meet
ings. Up to the present time none
of this work has reached Essex
county. Even the acute coal situa-
ton here has been passed by and the
Fuel Commission has failed to ap-
point single local committee for the
county. The Herald does not find
fault nor puts up a "kick" at this,
but we just wish to remind the rest
of the state we are part of this
grand old commonwealth land take a
just pride in state work, and pre-.
sumo there is some good and just
reason for letting us jog on alone
without receiving any help from this
work. May be we don't deserve it
may be we don't need it; may be we
couldn't sense it if given US; may be
we are too far from the center OF
the state and beyond the vision of
these activities. However, Essex
county is part of the old state, anC
her hills just as green; our rivers and
springs just as pure and sparkling
our scenery just as grand and thrill
ing; our people just as good and loya
as any other part of the state, thus
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-11-02

we may be pardoned for wondering
just a "wee bit" why we are shut
out from receiving the helpful hand
of all this great effort to mould pub
lie opinion into intensive war time
work.

California;, Had
Kidney Trouble

Jack Maltos, Copperopolis, Calf,
says: ~ had such severe case OF
kidney trouble thought l would have
to sell out my business. / took three
bottles of Foley Kidney Pills which
entirely relieved me and 1 have had
no recurrence of kidney trouble since
then"
Some days 1t seems as If you can
no longer bear the pain and misery
you suffer from Kidney and bladder
troubles, The ache across your back
grows worse with every move you
make and every step you take. 1t
just seems to rob you of all strength
and energy. Your head aches, you
are nervous and worn out, sleep poorly
and have no appetite, stomach is up
set and bowels irregular.
Foley Kidney Pills lessen the pain,
until it is finally gone entirely. They
give strength and tone to the kidneys
make them strong, active. their ac-
ton becomes regular and normal
again, and your health grows better
each day you take this great healing
medicine.

doeSn t-matter- how J. look-because-l m
| old habit, that makes SO many elderly
people look as If they were candidates
for the rag bag and the bath tub.
At no other time in their whole lives
do people need good clothes and good
grooming so much as they do after the
beauty OF youth has fled. Sweet-and-
twenty can be attractive in spite of
kimono and down-at-the-heel slip
pers, or picturesque in negligee
shirt and sneakers, but the sixty-odds
need all the attractions that exquisite
neatness and the best dressmakers
and tailors can throw about it.
The next weakness of age against
which we should guard ourselves is
garrulousness. Why should any sane
person permit himself to talk too
much any more than he would drink
too much? We all know when our
tongues are running away with us and
if we have any intelligence at all we
put on the emergency brakes and
stop them.
Why should we not keep tab on our
selves as we grow old and refrain
from telling the same story over and
over again? The mere fact that q
story is our favorite is sufficient warn
ing in itself to make us shut our
teeth on it when we are tempted to re-
late it. There are also other warn
ings not to be mistaken, the bored
and lack-luster eye. the perfunctory
attention. the forced laugh. All Of
these are indications that the listener
has heard the story a thousand times
before, and that If we don't wish to
qualify in the ancient mariner class
it is time, in the slang Of the day, to
can that particular narrative.
Another fault of old age that we
should guard ourselves against is in
living in the past, and reminiscing
about our own personal Affairs. 1t is
a cruel fact, but it is fact, that no
body on earth takes the slightest IN
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1917-08-06

terest in things that happened to US
40 years ago, or cares whoop about
what we did at the Battle of Gettys
burg, or how we nursed our little
Johnny through the whooping cough
Yet old people will maunder on by
the hour about their own incense
quential histories and then wonder
why nobody seems to care TO talk to
them.
But the greatest fault of all that
age must guard against is becoming
dictatorial and tyrannical. Because
we arrive at the age Of 70 is no sign
that we are incarnate wisdom and
capable of deciding every problem on
earth. Very likely we have been a
fool during the whole time, yet many
people who have made failures of
their own lives feel that just because
they are old they have a right to i'm
pose their opinions and views on all
about them.
There is really no reason why we
should dread age, or fear that we
should lose the interest of our fellow
creatures just because we are old
In reality, old people have far less ex.
cuse for being bores than the young
have. Men and women Of Is should
be three times as interesting as they
were at 25. They have seen
the whole drama Of live. They have
lived. They are rich in knowledge
and experience, and they are the most
fascinating Of all companions when
they have kept themselves free from
the faults of age.
All of us know such people. old men
and women at whose feet we love to
sit, and whose visits are benedictions
on house.
