Fierce Apparitions.

In the West Indies a sight of the
"rolling calf" presages death or ter
rible misfortunes. The negroes are
dreadfully afraid of possible encoun-
ter with 1t at night. 1t is white, Of
enormous size and with eyes that
blaze like hot Goals.
William Thorp, learned student Of
such manifestations, writes of a
phantom shark that haunts the waters
about Nassau, in the Bahamas, where
it is known as the "harbor master"
1t shines with weird phosphorescent
glow even in the daytime, and though
hooked on many occasions and pulled

Rainmakers' Beliefs.

From very ancient times supersti-
2ious beliefs have existed concerning
rain. and many quaint little rites have
been performed by agricultural people
anxious for the welfare of their crops.
For a cat to appear unusually restless
Is still held by some to be sure sign
of rain. 1t has also been noticed that
when the cows all lie down in the
fields rain very often follows before
long. usually Of more or less violent
character. In one of the northern
provinces Of India the maidens used
to have quaint custom. When rain
was desired they would sally forth
with Jars Of water, which they calmly
poured down the backs of any old
women they happened to pass. This
dangerous practice is now. fortunate
ly. ont Of date. Some people believe
TO this day that, in a case Of severe
drought fiogging the surface OF rivers.
ponds, ETC.. will quickly call up re-
freshing showers. The flogging Is done
with rods, preferably, Of hazel.

GREENvILLE, S. C.-Greenville

chief of police in the United States

who tips the scales at 335 pounds,

The Best Cough Syrup
is Homemade.
Here's an easy way to save 81, ana
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
it? Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold OF q
cough will soon earn it a permanent
place in your home.
Into a pint bottle, pour 21s ounces
of Pinex; then AID plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified molasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead OF sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you a full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready-nade for three times
it's cost.
It is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
It seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loOsens a dry, hoarSe or
tight cough, lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost I'M,
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchlUl3
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine eX-
tract, and has been used for genera
tions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask you,

with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso,-

cise," six burly negroes had been
floored, one byS one. and peace and
calm reigned once more within the
gray walls. This is but one of many
spectacular incidents in the official
career of Chief Noe. who is now
rounding out his fifth year as head
of the Greenville police force.
1t may be said that his achieve
ments range from running a nursery
to his act of overpowering, single
handed, a jailful Of desperate crimi-
nails. Women have learned that he is
very fond of children, for when they

a small child finds it's way to the

the high cost of living has affected
him more than any individual in the

lasses and peas-this is his favorite
menu-every time these commodities

Although scores of friends have
suggested various and sundry meth

common of which is "diet," Chief
Noe says he hears but does not heed,

Many of the Americans here are OPP

growing sentiment among the Fill

Miss Barriera, who speaks little

UNITED STATES
TO RECOGNIZE.
n MEXICO SOON

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Formal
negotiations looking to the recogni-
ton of the new government in Mex
leo are expected to be inaugurated
Immediately after the elections. 1t
is understood that Robert V. Pes
guerra, Mexican confidential agent In
the United States, will then ask for
an audience with state department
officials.
In administration circles today 1t
was stated that as a preliminary to
full recognition much depended upon
Mexico's own action. 1t was pointed
out that the Carranza DEGREES against
which the American government has
repeatedly protested have not yet
been rescinded.
1t was learned today that foreign
governments would be formally mott
fed of Secretary Colby's Announce
ment of yesterday that recognition of
Mexico was near and also of the let
ter from Mr., Pesqueria setting forth
the aims of the new Mexican govern
ment, which was made public with
the secretary's announcement.
Secretary Colby has stated that
foreign governments would follow
the lead of the United States in &C
cording recognition.
While several of the South Ameri-
can and Central American govern
ments have recognized Mexico, the
great powers, such as Britain and
France have withheld such action.
1t is understood they have been
awaiting definition of the attitude
of the United States. Observers here
were skeptical of the confidence of
Mexico in winning early recognition
by the other great powers, pointing
out that Great Britain never accord
ed recognition to Carranza.
1t was made. plain officially today
that the statement of Secretary of
State Colby that the "prelfminaries
of recognition can confidently pro-
ceed' means that formal recognition
of the Mexican government undoubt-
eddy would be granted soon. Secre-
tary Colby's statement was in COM
ment on a letter from Robert V.
Pesqueira, new confidential agent
here of the De la Huerta regime,
setting forth the policy of the Next
can government.

certain that it would conform in
every way with the old skin. You do
not know just what the pattern is,
and so your brain plays no part in
the operation.
Here lis where our life entities
come into action. firmly believe that
the life entities rebuild that thumb
with consummate care, drawing upon
their remarkable memory for all the
details.
Illustrates Point
Let US consider an analogy, for
the sake of making my point more
clear to you. Supposing that a man
from Mars came to this earth, and
ours that the smallest thing he
could see was the Brooklyn bridge.
He could not see us. Naturally, he
might take Brooklyn bridge for some
natural growth, just as we consider
grass, sand, minerals and other
things as matters of natural deveI-
opment. Supposing that same man
from Mars were to destroy the Brook
lyn bridge, and several years later
he happened to find q new bridge in
precisely the same place and of pre-
cisely the same design. Would it
seem logical for that pnan to assume
that the bridge simply grew again
in the same manner and in the same
place? Don't you suppose that the
Marian would be compelled to as
sumo that some intelligence and
guided effort were behind the re-
building of the structure he had de-
stroyed?
"That is precisely the stand we
should take regarding the life en-
titles. Obviously, the entire matter is
one of conjecture. Perhaps the en-
titles in our bodies are So FER cent
workers and per cent direcesTv, At
any rate, it is the ensemble OF sil
these entities which gives us our
physical form, mental properties,

our bodies these entities constantly
rebuild our tissues to replace those
which are constantly wearing out.
They watch after the functions of
the various organs. just as the engi-
neers in a power house see that the
