i and brains with the substance tina,
preserves life. The misery caused
by improperly cooked food, with the
Sttendant impediment Of physical
and mental vigor, is impossible to
estimate. By this new device new
era of health and happiness has
dawned for human kind.
"The field Of usefulness Of the
Perfection cooker is co-extenSive
with the civilized world. If all Of the
women Of the land knew the value
of this wonderful article, a thou
sand factories could not supply the
demand. It is the greatest conserv-
er of the age. It is held by compe-
tent judges to be an invention equal
in Importance to the sewing ma
chine. As a household utility it
will be in greater demand than the
clothes washing machine, the refrig-
orator, the vacuum cleaner, the gas
stove or the carpet sweeper, all of
which have developed great indus
tries.
"The kettle is the Oldest known
article of manufacture. The world
has not a home in it that does not
have pot, a stew pan or kettle

"Household utilities become COM
monplace to us. We see them ev-

of course. We seldom stop to
think what these commonplace ar
ticles may have meant to industry,
to the employment Of thousands Of
workers in their manufacture and
sale, and, what is more important,
to the good fortune of those who
use them daily.
"But to demonstrate the merits of
the Perfection cooker:
"By the use Of the higher degrees
of heat obtained by this vessel, the
operator saves two-thirds of the

all the flavor of the articles Of food.
These facts can be scientifically
demonstrated and proven to anyone
who will investigate.

REVALUATION ACT

Chapel Hill, Sept. 16.-tAn act to
make the tax books of North. Caro-
lima tell the truth" is the suggestive
tile which Governor Beckett this af-
ternoon gave the revaluation act OF
the last Legislature in expounding
the moral, economic and financial
values of the new property assess
ment system to the county and State
officials in conference here.
1--WE must recognize" said Gov
ernor Beckett, ''that whatever ideas
the leaders of the forces of schools,
health, public welfare and roads
have in mind for the uplift of the
State, taxation is necessary for the
promotion of those ideals. But the
tax books must tell the truth. They
have never done it. They have
never pretended to do it, and un.
der the old practice the citizen ha:
not been encouraged to speak the
truth, but were encouraged to con
ceal the true value of their prop
erty.

Millions of Dollars DESTROYED.

Corpus Christi, Texas, Sept. IT,
Today more than 70 hours after the
tropical disturbance and hurricane
which swept over the coastal section
of Texas, and tore huge rents in the
towns in this vicinity, it is still i'm
possible to secure a correct estimate
of the number of fatalities and the
amount of property damage that
was incurred. All the estimates are
mere conjecture. Reports are still
coming in however, from the sur
rounding country that adds to ID
list and it is believed that the wreck
age which is strewed from one end
of this city to the other may con-
tain the bodies of those who were
caught in the wave which swept ten
feet high over the city. 1t is thought
that a week or more will elapse be-
fore any definite idea of the loss
will be secured.
| The latest estimate of the loss OF
life is 100, and some officials esti-
mate the number of deaths at be-
tween 200 and 800. Besides there
is much suffering from those who
were exposed to the elements fol
lowing the storm. The estimate O
the property loss is between 10 ant
Is millions.

ESTS HAVE ACQUIRED Pc
TROLEJIM IN MEXICO.

Mexico City, Aug. %. (By Mall)-
The department of Industry and
denies emphatically that
Japanese interests have acquired
any petroleum holdings in Mxico,
but says parties of Japanese Pgeol-
ogists have visited the republic re-
Gently on a tour of exploration and
have located oil deposits on the Pa
cific coast.
The departmental denial came
as the result of stories emanating
from the United States that Japan
ese capitalists were negotiating for
the transfer of large petroleum hold
ings in the Tampico district.
Ell Monitor recently interviewed
japanese, r. E. Douari, who
was sent to be a member of the or
iental exploration party. He assert
ed that the Pacific coast had been
thoroughly covered in the search fol
oil and that large deposits of the
latter had been found. ell also as
setted that Japan needs Mexican
oil for commercial purposes ant
will attempt to acquire that pro
| duct but it has no intention o
buying leaces, developed or unde
j Veloped, on the Atlantic Coast.

THE GALLERIES STARTED

Washington, Sept. 16.--(By the

of the German peace treaty for
amendment was begun late today in
the Senate after a sharp prelimin-
ary wrangle and demand by Dem
ocrats for an avowal from Repub-
lican Leader Lodge that the pact
be kept continuously before the
body.
1t had not been the intention of
opponents of the treaty to take 1T
up this week, as was indicated by
a motion of Senator Smoot, Re-
publican, of Utah, to consider other
| legislation after four-hour discus
sion. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebras-
ka, leader of the administration
| forces, insisting the treaty was en-
| ergency business and pointing out
not one line of the document had
been read, drew fire from Senator
Lodge, both asking if in all good
faith it was his purpose to expedite
consideration.
my good faith and what I intend
to do is by business" Senator Lodge
replied with feeling, and the crowds
in the galleries leaned forward ex-
pecting the first fight over ,the
treaty.

intended to carry out his promise an

Senator Lodge. who had been
walking back and forth in the cham
