DANCING. THEN AND NOW.

rU1HOSE wimingtonians who abhor modern dances Ike
h 10 point to the old times when dancing in its
purity was the poetry OF motion There were the stately
minuet and me quadrle in its many varieties wherein
bellies and beaux bowed with exceeding grace and held
each other only by the hand.
They sigh for those times and those dances and every
day or so one reads denuncation OF syncopated
dancing And many wimingtonians there are who SIN
cerey believe there were never times like these, so lost
10 modesty.
And yet-wer in the year 1880 citizen OF London
having visited the dancing school OF Mr. hgadoon with
whom his daughter taking dancing lessons felt called
on TO write an indignant letter TO the London spectator
concerning what he there.
Il was amazed" ne wrote, TO my girl handed ny
and handing young fellows with much familiarity; and
i could not have thought It was in my child .
Al last an mpudent young dog bid the hddlers play
dance called Mol Patey' and after having made two or
three oapers ran 10 partner looked his arms in hers
and wfked her round above the ground in such man
ner that who sat upon one OF the lowest benches saw
further above her shoes than think nt to ecquant
you with
81 could no longer endure these enormes wherefore
Just as my girl going TO be made whirligg, ran in
seized on the child and carried her home"
This happened nearly 200 years ago. And 200 years
hence some writer bent on showing that after ALL his
generation Is not the worst ever will point out that way
back in 1921 folks were complaining about dances known
as the camelwak and the todde and deporins the de-
cadence Of the times.
Our times not the best not the worst Externals
change; human nature is unchanglns.

10 the hrotherly interest taken by
James in their welfare and edu-
cation.
James Madison was = youth Of
high moral principles. When a
candidate for the General Assem-
bly, OF his state. he lost the cleo
tion because he refused to treat the
voters with whiSkey. II was Gus
tomary in those days, in some Sec
tions Of the country, to win votes
by this manner Of treating, but 20
James the practice was repulsive
and his conscience would not per-
nit him to take advantage Of II.
While still very young man
Madison entered the public serv-
ice. He was a most active mem
Der of the convention that framed
the Constitution Of Virginia. It
was not long after the War Of the
Revolution was brought TO a close
and the Treaty Of Peace was
signed, that Madison saw that the
young nation would 60 to pieces
unless a strong bond OF union held
the States together. He was a
strong advocate Of the Constitution.
His mind which had become a great
store house of useful knowledge on
public and political questions was
one Of the guiding forces when the
great Constitution Of the United
States was framed, under which a
great nation has grown and pros
pered beyond the dreams Of It's
most hopeful friends.

TAMEs MADISON was born
student, caring even in his
- childhood little for play and
the rough games that delight
healthy, robust boys. Many Of the
Presidents enjoyed outdoor life
and took a keen interest in hunt
ing and games of all sorts, but
young Madison would have none Of
these. His father was a wealthy
planter and owned large tracts Of
land in Virginia. The Madisons
were among the first settlers that
came to the Virginia Colony. James
studied mostly under a private
tutor in his own home as the schools
of that day were poor and few.
Even when a mere boy Madison
acquired a good deal of Greek.
Latin, of French and Spanish. At
the age of eighteen he entered
Princeton College in New Jersey.
While there, he carried on his stud
les to such an extent that for
months together he had allowed
himself only three hours out of the
twenty-four for sleep. This pro-
longed mental effort so impaired his
health that he suffered from the
handicap all his life. Upon his
return to his home in Vir-
ginia, after graduation, he taught
his younger brothers and sisters.
He was the eldest Of the family Of
seven children-all Of whom at
tanned maturity and passed through
life esteemed and beloved thanks

Has He Found a
Cure For Asthma?
simple Prescription Gives Instant Relief.
Makes Breathing Easy.

In New England, where Bronchial
Asthma, Bronchitis and other diseases OF
the throat and lungs are so prevalent,
remarkably successful results are being
reported following the use Of a new form
OF treatment known as OKidaze, a physi-
clans prescription.
Oxidaze is a harmless but powerful
combination OF curative essential oils,
concentrated and compressed into a
small tablet. one OF these tablets slow
ly dissolved before going TO bed seems
to have the effect OF releasing the mus
cular construction OF The bronchial tubes,
opening up the air passages and regnlat-
ing spasm0dic lung action. This enables
the patient TO breathe easily and natu-
rally while lying down and 10 get com
Portable nights sleep.
SO much interest has been shown that
local druggists, Including n. b. Dan
forth, have secured a small supply aud
state that they are authorized TO refund
the money paid for the frst package If
in any case this new treatment fails to
give relief. Oxidaze Is pleasant 70 taSe,
contains no harmful, bit-fOrming
drugs and Is not expensive. This makes
their test an easy matter.
