GIANT COFFEE POT MARKS
STREET CORNER IN SALEM
Ancient Landmark Conspicuously
Displayed on Busy Thorough
in North Carolina Town.

By the Associated Press.
WINSTON N. c., June 90.
Standing at a busy corner as one
of the landmarks of old Salem is a
gigantic coffeepot. capable If filled
of supplying probably half the city's
present population with it's matutinal
blend
Many fantastic stories concerning
the coffeepot's origin have sur.
rounded it with a mysterious glamour
But its chief claim to fame lies in the
fact it was, perhaps. the first piece of
direct advertising in this section.
The pot was erected in 1858 by
julius Mickey, tinsmith of the little
Moravian colony of Salem, the first
man ever to sell cooking stoves in
this part of the Carolinas.
One story has it that it was built to
shelter soldiers during the Civil War.
A trap door in it's bottom lends color
to this opinion and ready access to
small boys who have climbed in it to
startle with strange noises elderly
ladies and gentlemen on their way to
church.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
OSCOW.-Walking tours for work
ers, which have been encouraged by
Soviet officials, particularly by
Nicholas Semashko, the commissar Of
public health, are proving a boom =
rang.
Young Russian Communists are pur'
suing their tours to the point of vaga-
bondage instead of restricting them to
the limits of their leave. The result
is that many otherwise well-intend-
ed Soviet youngsters have become
"tramps" in Central Asia. the Crimea
and Siberia. Appeals from them for
aid occasionally reaching young Com
munist organizations have fallen on
deaf ears since the latter believe that
such touring" is against state inter.

COMPARE the TREATMENT

! COMPARE the TREATMENT
Consider a typical case of Hay Fever.
The irritation is local-eye, nose
throat, and mouth. The cause is known
pollen irritation.
The Ercolin treatment removes the
cause at the source of irritation Ercolin
neutralizes proteins the irritant COM
mon to all pollens which calse Hay
Fever. When Ercolin comes in contact
with the affected tissues, irritation stops
immediately. Ercolin gently irrigates
and soothes tortured membranes, stops
itching and burning, clears the head
and prevents congestion. Eye-cup and
nasal douche are best for applying
Ercolin. They may be obtained at any
drug store. Use Ercolin freely-it con-
tains no alcohol or harmful drugs of
any kind. With a bottle of Ercolin you
are protected against Hay Fever any
where, any time. Nor is this treatment
a matter of weeks and years. Ercolin
gives instant relief.
