The writer in all of his life never
saw as many cars in the Deep Gap
section as he saw here last Sunday.
The road was so full of them they
could hardly pass. People from the
different counties were in the num-
Der and as travel was so heavy a
few minor accidents happened to a
few of the cars along the road but
no one was injured only little da-
mage done to the cars in the crash
ups.
Every one for miles around flock
to the Deep Gap on Sundays to while
away the time as this is shch an ideal
place, and is truly natures play
ground to pleasure seeker.
We are glad to state that several
new business enterprises are under
way here and a quick lunch and SER
vice station will be built right in the
Deep Gap at no distant day. Mr.. A.

ing material up to start this project
of business just as fast as he can.

Mr.. A. G. Miller has started to re-
build his home on the very spot where
his was burned down some time past.
Mr.. Miller will be the first one in
this section to use bark in home.
While it is new thing to most of
us we hope it will prove very salts
factory as it will be in keeping with
the times as others lead others no
doubt will follow. Let's see.

of the best posted men we know in

"A partial ard Incomplete inspection
Of some Of the citrus orchards Of the
Lowe R'o Granle Valley by County
Agent Louis II. Alsmeyer reveals that
the damage from the two freezes just
past was less than was thought at the

He attributed the light damage main

AVOIDING FAT CURES


 1 The best way to reduce your surplus ducing foods which you either know. ingiy or unknowingly eat every day. The people who make and market fat cures are skillful students of hu- man nature. They know that when most people get fat they have a de- sire to get thin. In other words, the so-called fat cures are built along the path of least resistance and appeal to those who wish to do the trick Of turning from one kind of person 10 another by sim ply swallowing little dope, or rub. ping on some potent fat reducing salve, that will cause your extra avoirdupois to fade away like mist be- fore the morning sun.
 But the fact is. 1t can't be done with any degree of safety. Diet selection must be governed by certain fixed fac tors. and a carefully acquired knowl- edge of real food values.
 If one will but study the proper food required to keep the metabolic process in perfect working order. A diet for flexible muscles. solid bones. firm teeth. normal flesh and a perfect life stream with correct weight win result.
 Don't let the 1ashy advertisements that spell your ruin physically draw you into the clutches of the fiat. faker." Ii hardly seems necessary for a physician 10 issue any such advice, but present conditions seem 10 war rant Ii. The heart is often the first to feel the damaging effects Of fat re- ducing nostrums.
 When I say you should eat less. you do not have 10 fast or go hungry. Your own physician will give you the advice necessary for proper food and exercise.
 In taking any fake fat cures you are in danger of attacking tho body at vital point with fatal results.

Much breeding in hia disturbed state of mind distorted his
 mental vision, 10 that he came pres entity to adopt the view that this plague wAA | visitation from Heaven upon city abandoned to ungodliness. Heaven. 1t followed, must be on the side of those who labored to effect a purifying change.
 The end Of it was that, as he toiled up Ludsate Hill toward Paul's, his resolve was taken. That evening he would seek Tucker and throw in his lot with the republicans.
 Coming into Paul's Yard. he found 6 considerable crowd assembled be. fore the western door of the Cathe- dral. It was composed of people of all degrees: merchants, shopkeepers, prentices, horseboys. scavengers, rogues from he alleys that lay behind the Old Change, idlers and sharpers from Paul's Walk. with sprinklins of women, of town-sallants. and of soldiers.
