RUM HOUNDS CAN'T EVEN

Near Booze to be Forced Out of Drug Stocks if Internal Revenue Officer
 Succeeds in Crusade.

Little Rock, Nov. 3O.-The time has come when all extracts. perfumes and medicines which have been used as a substitute for whiskey by the very thirsty, are to be investigated by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. To place the country on the dryest of the dry basis, as provided under the national prohibition act, all these substitutes are to be made so obnoxious that they can no longer be drunk.
 Conferences and hearings on such preparations are to be held this week i in Washington, according to a letter received by Jack Walker. collector of internal revenue, from Daniel C. Rop- CT, commissioner of internal revenue
 The purpose of these hearings is to devise ways to medicate or decrease the probability of these preparations Most of them are bad enough to drink now. All manufacturers who are in- terested in the making of extracts, per ! fumes and medicines which now are drinkable have been asked to give their view in the matter of making them n0n-drinkable
 Government to Stop Sale.
 The Internal Revenue Department according to MT. Roper, has made a careful study of many of the alcoholic al. come to the conclusion that consid- erable number of them are fit for bev- craze purposes. After January 16, the date on which Title II of the national prohibition act becomes effective these preparations cannot be legally manufactured and sold.
 Arkansas Makers.
 There are few manufacturers ot such preparations in Arkansas, it is said at the office of the collector of internal revenue Some doctors, who are makers Of medical compounds VII be affected More of the prepara ticls are drunk in Arkansas than are made. Tn remote drug stores quantities of these preparations may still be founC> but few, if any of the commoner pre- paratiors which acquired bad repu- tatiOrs by being used as a beverage, may now be found in reputable drug stores. The Internal Revenue Service practically stopped this practice by C]assiHg druggists who scld these pre- parations in large quantities as retail liauoI dealers and by requiring them to pay the special tax for selling alco- hclic compounds

Bears are eating up the cattle of farm
ers in East Lake Township, Dare Coun-
ty. and the thrifty people of that sec
ton send out an urgent invitation to
bear hunters everywhere to come over
into East Lake and help them kill the
bears.
John Twiford. of East Lake, was in

this newspaper that bears have become
such a menace to live stock in his
vicinity that he will personally obligate
to board and otherwise assist any bear
hunter who will come to East Lake for
a week Mr.. Twiford says that many
of his neighbors will likewise provide
free board for bear hunters.
And bear hunting is profitable Vo-
cation. Several bears have been killed
@hS hunters in the East Lake section this
fall. Shipped to the Baltimore marfet
these bears have brought $27 to $40 q
piece There were formerly many bear
hunters in East Lake but most of the
natives have gotten away from the sport
since the Dare Lumber Co. began logg-
ing operations there, affording regular
employment to all who would work. lie
Gently the same company has put pull
mill in operation there, giving profitable
employment to larger numbers.
East Lake is about 40 miles from
Elizabeth City and can be reached via
Nanteo. Roanoke Island. or by steamer

RED CROSS XMAS SEALS
KNOCK TUBERCULOSIS
Every One Should Put These Seals On
Holiday Mail of all Kinds

The Red Cross Christmas Seal sale
in Elizabeth City will be pushed with
unu sual vigor during the next two
weeks. The proceeds from the sale OF
these seals is devoted to a cause that ap-
peals most strongly to the people OF
this city. Every penny from these seals
goes to the eradication of tuberculosis
and our own splendid State Sanitorium
Elizabeth City sends more unfortunate
to the Sanitorium than does any other
CITY of similar size IN the state. Eliza
beth City is asked to buy only $500
worth of the Red Cross Seals. 1t is
small amount, considering the return
which we get from the investment. =,
Elizabeth City could easily take up the
whole amount of stamps without effort
if every one would thoughtfully and
resolutely determine to put one Of these
Xmas Seals on every letter and parcel
mailed during the holidays. The seals
cost only a penny piece and when you
put one of these seals on letter OF
parcel you are making known the fact
that your heart is in the right place
and that you are not selfishly fritter-
ing away every penny on your own ap'
petites and vanities.
Buy Red Cross Xmas Seals by the
thousand if you are able. If you are not
able. buy in smaller amounts, even to
the small amount of a dime, which buys
ten Seals.
