EDangeist Is LiDing Though Snake Bit Him
Had Many I1aleIujahs Yesterday in Pulpit -AnOther
 Minister Asserts He Is "MOcking God'

Erastus, N. C., Aug 13-UP)- Albert Teester, hill billy evangelist who permitted a rattlesnake to bite him twice and then refused medical attention because "the faithful are immune to death," was confident today he had proved to his, flock that God is the best physician"
 Surrounded by his five children. his 41-year-old brother, Robert and his 65-year-old sister, Mary. TeesGer told with solemn pride how he licked the serpent with the most powerful of all weapons faith in the Lord"
 The arm which the snakes fangs penetrated twice before the eyes of his congregation a week ago Sunday appeared much improved.
 It'll be all right in a few more days" he drawled. "Then I'm goin" back to my farmin'."
 Teester, sturdy mountaineer of Scotch-Irish ancestry, arose from the bed where for several days he had tossed in agony. and walked nine miles yesterday over the winding trails of the great Smokes lO UeIlVer two sermons.
 "I'll take the word of God today and preach on it." the 39-year-oId holiness" preacher told his flock. augmented by mountain folk of other sects who had come to wit ness the miracle" "I want to tell you and I want it to go out to all the world just why I picked up a serpent and let it bite me last Sun day.
 I'm doing this for God and l explain from his book. In the name of Jesus I took up the snake and let it bite me. I have the best physician in all the world. I'll tell you who it is. 1t is Jesus Christ"
 A hoarse cry of "hallelujah. praise the Lord" interrupted.
 T will never need any medical attention, for I believe in God and take Him as my healer. That i' why all the suffering did not mat ter to me. If I die, I won't be ashamed of having picked up the snake for God"
 "Hallelujah! T h Lord be praised! Amen!"
 q used to believe in doctors, . the preacher said at another meet ing. But when I gave my heart to the Lord 14 years ago I stopoed going to doctors and started going to church.
 "The holiness church Gas the church of God is familiarly known teaches that we should trust Goo | for the healing of our bodies ant | this includes protection from dis eases.
 Most of our members are wei and strong. If one becomes sick, l | is customary for elders to conn and pray for healing. This and al other things we do for the glor /, of God. I have been bealed Ill n. times by divine love and hay helped in bringing healing t | others"

Thomaston, Aug. 13.-Camp Roberts baseball team has gone into slump-losing successively to the Terryville Pequoits to I and the weekly CCC League game to the 17Srd Company from West Goshen. Injuries to star players helped materially in downing our team in both games.

Reported Rush of Buyers of Commodities Fails to
 Materialize in Waterbury

people of Waterbury have not be- come alarmed or are not paying any attention ito scares being sent out.
 That there will be Il change in the prices and quantity of certain foodstuffs before long as a result of the drought in the middle-west is fact conceded by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. He said that sirloin steaks and the like will not be so plentiful next year. The fed eral government, according to dis patches yesterday and to-day, has already taken steps to prevent "gouging" on the part of food handlers. Profiteering will be watched for closely, in view of the great amount of help given the western cattle dealers by the fed eral government, which bought up thousands of head of cattle and transported them to unaffected areas so as to prevent ultimate loss to the farmers and death to the animals.

Waterburians apparently have not yet started or are not con- templating hoa1ding canned goods in view of the food shortage and high prices for the commodities which are predicted as result of the prolonged and devastating drought in ;he west. According to report by Dun and Bradstreet of New York intensive buying of canned goods by householders in order to avoid a shortage or in creased prices should start within the next week.
 New York, according to reports yesterday. has already begun to feel some effects of the predicted boarding.
 Managers of two downtown markets, when talked with this morning. stated that they have not noticed any tendency, yet, on the part of Waterburians to start hoarding. A manager of chain store in an outlying section of the city also said that apparently the

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE WITHOUT CAL0MEL And You'll Jump Out of Bed in
 the Morning Karin to Go

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow lot of salts, min- eral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine.
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CAREERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel "up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
 But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carters Little Liver Pills. Look for the name Carter's Little Liver Pills on the red label. Resent substitute. 25c at drug stores. c 1881 c. M. Co.

PARKl[AN ADDRESSES
STATE P0STMASTERS
Washington Official Praises
Record Made by Farley
in Department

Williston, N. D.. July 24.-(P-
Praising the efforts Of Postmaster
General Farley. Harrison Parkman,
director Of building operations and
supplies in the federal postal service,
told the state convention Of the league
Of district postmasters and postoffice
clerks here Monday night 1T takes
time to effect some economies In an
immense business organization such
% ours"
"A good example Of this fact" he
said. us the cancellation and re-
letting Of the air mail contracts"
In the face OF tremendous oppose
ton and widespread propaganda
favoring the old companies, Postmast-
er General Farley did not falter, said
Parkman.
Succeeding events proved that he
was right In his contention that the
service could be conducted at less ex-
pense. He has proved that better
service has been obtained at less cost.
1T Is argued that we should have
more volume of mail matter. This is
true. But the simple lowering OF
postal rates will not bring it about.
This fact Is proved by the lowering
Of local first-class rates from three
cents to two cents which did not
bring corresponding increase in
revenue. Volume can be built up only
by the man at the source. It Is the
Job Of every postmaster. Of every clerk,
and every carrier to sell the postal
services to the people Of the COM
munity."
Parkman pointed out that some
thing has happened in the post office
and its coming is matter Of deep
concern to every employee"
From 1850 to 1890, the revenues OF
the postal service nearly doubled each
ten years, he said. but the revenues
flattened out 70 that the record for
al time. 1880, 705 millions income was
only .03 per cent more than 1t was In
1927. We are very likely approach
ing the time when our service Is
reaching the maximum use by the
people Of q settled country with a
stable population"
Regarding reduced expenditures
Parkman contended that with busi-
ness improving al over the country,
prices advancing. unemployment re-
duoed, there Is. In my opinion. no oc-
casion to select postal cofhmunica-
tions for attack by advocating re-
duced service charges"
