. -
W. 1. Myrick, a dry goods
merchant of Haw River. Alaman-
ce county, received severe
whipping Monday night at the
hands of a number OF business
men Of his town. He had made
remarks detrimental to the gov
eminent, and on Monday when a
committee of ladies called on him
for a contribution to the Red
Cross he became abusive and not
only refused to give but refused
to display Red Cross placards in
his window. And his maddened
fellow citizens that night called
him out, whipped him, made him
kiss the flag and subscribe to the
Red Cross fund. On Tuesday the
Red Cross placards and signs ap-
peared in his windows and now
he is a more subdued citizen.
While this mob law, as it
might be called, is not the legal
and right way to remedy evils,
still in a case such as the above
it seems to have been the best
remedy and certainly the quick
cts and surest. And what hap
pened to this unpatriotic man
will happen to others EFF they
don watch out

The German drive which was
expected by the Kaiser to win a
decisive victory, is now in the
third month. 1t was begun on
March 21stand though the Allied
lines were pushed back to depths
varying from one TOGO miles, the
lines still hold, and what is better,
they have beeu steadily streng-
thened until now the danger and
menace of a new German often
sive is not so much feared. That
the Germans are massing men
and material for anot her drive is
certain, and this new big offensive
is expected to be launched any
day now. But the prediction is
that it will not gain the ground of
the first drive, and the advance
will be short-lived. That this
may be true should be the earn
est prayer of every lover of
Liberty the world-round.

The number of subscriptions was
100000, as against 9,5O0,0OO for
the Second Loan and 100000 for
the First. This is pretty good
evidence of the unanimity of our
people and the fact that the
country as a whole is awakening
to the war necessity.

Porch
Com f ort

Are you able to enjoy your porch during the bright
sunny days in midsummer? Have you not often
thought how much more pleasure you would have if
you could use your porch from early Spring until late
in the Fall? We dare say that you have had visions of
fitting up your porch with porch rugs willow furniture
porch tables hammocks, etc, and perhaps you would
have done long ago if it had not seemed to you that
you were buying these fittings to put out in the open
almost as much as though they to be placed on
the lawn
After you have once experienced the pleasure which
one can easily have almost every day from Spring to
Fall if their porch is fitted up with Porch Shades and
then equipped with comfortable porch furniture we do
not believe you could possibly be induced to go back to
the porch of old which was open to the sunshine and
which almost as public as the roof of your house
ITSELF and which perhaps seemed to you such barren
uninhabitable place. It requires only moderate ex
penditure of money to equip your parch with VUDOR
Porch Shades and thus make it into large delightful
airy cheerful room where the children can play with
out inuring the expensive furniture in your living
rooms and where they can be in the heathgivng out
doors air. and where you watch over them yourfef
in the most delightful surroundings
Then again, when callers come you do not have to
take them ntoshot stuy rooms in the interyr of the
house.

FREE TUITION FOR
STUDENT NURSES.

The student nurse gets her board
lodging and tuition free at practically
every training school, and in most
cases receives a small remuneration to
cover the cost of books and uniforms.
After graduation she has an earning
capacity of from $100 to $500 month
Private-duty nurses now receive an
average of from $100 to 1920 a month.

institution nurses from $50 to $3.50 a
month, together with board, lodging
and laundry; and public health nurse
from 800 to $3.50 month without
maintenance. There is no danger of
the earning capacity of nurses being
lowered after the war ends on account
of the great number who will then be
qualified for the profession; the coun-
try will need all the nurses that can
be trained not only during the war
but after it, especially forreconstruc-
ton work. Even if the war ends with

Cordele Friday. They had taken up a
collection of $500 for the Red Cross.
They asked for Red Cross woman
while at the station that they might
give it to her, but none were here.
Soldiers have hearts rugged and
brawny outside, inside there is larg-
er proportiye than usual of that feel
ing we call sentiment, and while in
the front line many time in the wee
sma, hours of the mornings the Amer
lean boys take a thought back to the
Canteens to the ladies who served
them, who gave them a word of cheer
to speed them on their way to their
great adventure.
There is a heart felt thanks and
gratitude these boys, will render you.
They wont say it in so many words,
but afterwards when in quiet mo-
ment, thousands of miles from home
sitting in an old dug-out, will their
thoughts and thanks be waited across
the ocean to the land of liberty for
which, if necessary, they are willing
to lay down their lives.

HOW TO DRY FIGS.

ANY OF the VarletleS OF 1lgS grown
throughout the Southern States will
make a delicious dried product pre-
ferred by many to the California pro-
ducts, made from the Mission Tor
California Black, the Adriatic, and
from varieties of the Smyrna class
found upon the markets. The fruits
are allowed to become fully ripe be-
fore picking They are thoroughly
washed and picked over, any fruits
which are partially decayed or begin
ming to ferment being discarded
Either of two methods may then be
followed-splitting or lye dipping. In
the former, the figs are split in hall
with knife, the halves are placed
cut side up in single layer On the
trays, and at once exposed in the sun
or placed in the drier.
If I've dipping is to be employed,
the lye solution is prepared by dis
solving concentrated I've in water at
the rate of 1 pound to Is gallons.
This solution is placed in an enamel
ed or granite-ware vessel and heated
to boiling. The figs are placed in
wire basket or colander, lowered into
the boiling lye, and stirred to bring
It at once into contact with all the
fruit. Allow to remain As to 80 Sec
onds; the exact time is determined
by the variety and degree of ripeness
of the fruit Fruit is properly dipped
when numerous fine checks or cracks
appear in the skin, these facilitate dry
ing by permitting ready escape of
moisture, in the form of water vapor.
Too short dipping fails of its objects,
and does not p/oduce checks, while if
it be too prolonged the skin is destroy
ed and dripping of juice in the drier
will occur. Spread dipped fruits in
single layer in trays. Start the drying
whether fruit is halved or I've dipped
at 100 degrees, and do not allow the
to rise above 140 degrees
at any time. AS the figs will dry at
very unequal rates, especially if sun
drying. is employed, the trays must
be examined from time to time and
fruits which are sufficiently dry re-
moved.
The appearance of the dry product
will be improved if the figs are re-
moved from the trays when nearly
dry, dipped for two minutes into
boiling salt solution made by dissolv-
ing l pound of salt in 8 gallons of
water, drained and returned to the
trays - complete the drying. This
treatment gives the skins a softness
and glossiness which will otherwise
be lacking. The fruit is dryed when
leathery and elastic to the touch and
when the pieces can be twisted and
pressed vigorously without forcing
out moisture. 1t should then be condi-
tional or aftercpred by transferring
it to a large clean box, open at top
except for a cover of muslin to ex-
clude insects, and stirred daily for ten
days or two weeks, taking care to mix
thoroughly each new lot added with
that already in the box AS a measure
of safety prior to final storing, the
fruit should be put in baking tins
for two to three minutes. This treat
ment will kill any eggs of fruit-des-
troying insects which may have bein
deposited upon it during the after
curing.

KEEP FLESH FIRM AND CLEAR
Massage May Be Used to Increase the
Flesh or Diminish 1t as Desired,
Says Beauty Expert.

Massage may do its bit toward affect
ing the contour of the face if one hap
pens TO be dissatisfied with ones birth
right, says a beauty expert.
If the cheeks are hollow, rub them
gently to increase the flesh and to
make them round.
If a double chin or superfluous flesh
is the afllictiOn, rub vigorously to wear
away the fat by friction.
Never begin massage without first
having washed the face thoroughly
with hot water, not only to remove all
dust, but so that the pores may be
opened and made ready to receive the
unguent.
In order that the finger may slide
over the skin without pulling, and also
that the tissues of the skin may be
benefited, a lotion or cream should be
used.
Upon the original condition of the
face depends the type of lotion that
should be used.
III very fat, an astringent compost
ton would be best. While the thin
face requires the Matchmaking cream.

SECRET OF 'CHARM'
TULLE FOR EVENING SCARFS
Filmy Material, When Used to Swathe
Neck and Shoulders, Provides
Youthful Background.

Interest is shown in evening scarfs
of filmy tissues which may be thrown
across the shoulders either for draft
protection or merely TO heighten the
artistic effect of the gown itself.
While many women admire the rich
lace scarfs of Spanish persuasion,
those of applique lace or of Syrian eff
feet, there are many others who pre-
fer tulle bought by the yard and which
Is used TO swathe the neck and shout
ders in charmingly youthful frame.
The disadvantage Of these impromp-
TO scarfs lies in their perishable quail
". However, their purchase price is
not great and they may be renewed
frequently without involving the pos
SCISSOR in any wild extravaganza.
Many of the new net scarfs are of
fered in pastel colors and these are
trimmed with lridescent paillettes in
the form of Il narrow border along the
edges and Il wide border across the
bottom. In some instances the latter
is supplemented by either silk or
bead fringe.
There are also scarfS OF dark tuIles
and SeOrgette crepes which are printed
in rich contrasting colors and finished
with a hemstitched or beaded border.

"BruQeS la Morte. -

In lost corner of the great low
land fiat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point of intersection of a net work of
canals and waterways, there stands n
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
BrugeS, writes NikSah.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with its slen-
der bell turrets, its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has SO far been
spared the general devastation that fol-
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call it 'Bruges la mOrte"
and at every turn there is something to
remind the visitor of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesquely
grouped tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks breathes an at
mosphere of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

Good Grooming Very Different
From Painful Neatness.
Self-ForgetfuIness, After Making Sure
One is Well Dressed, Adds to
Attractiveness.

Are you well-groomed or are you
just painfully neat? There is a world
or difference between the two, you
know, although not a few seem I'M
aware of the distinction. Mayhap it's
an attitude rather than q fault in the
grooming that makes some people
fastidious, while others must remain
prim, says a woman writer. Again, it
Is undoubtedly an ignorance, or, worse
still, a deliberate disregard for the
dictates of fashion, and particularly
in the little things. Most of all, it is
the inability 10 carry things off with
an air of smartness that gives the
impression of painful neatness.
Quite the best way to overcome this
unpleasant stiffness in dress is 10 first
see that every single feature of the
costume is above reproach, the groom
ing of ones person not by any means
excepted, and then to forget all about
ones self. To be continually smooth
ing ones dress, tucking in stray ends
OF hair, mauling the hands, straighten-
ing the collar and doing a hundred
other meaningless things that prim
people do is to give most unpleasant
impression of pri@ishness.
Self-forgetfulncss, you know, is one
of the big secrets behind charm" Per-
hapS you have often wondered why
careful Sally Jones proves so much
less attractive than less careful Peggy
Brown; Sally is too careful. too mind
full of her appearance, of herself Peggy
straightway forgets all about herself,
so Interested is she in the "other fell
low" OF course, there is nothing COM
mendable in carelessnesS as regards
ones person, but it is certainly to be
preferred to undue carefulness result
ing in SqueamishneSS. There is no linn
it to the charm of a person who is
carefully groomed, yet who manages
to forget that she is so, once she
leaves her boudoir.
