Be Quick To Treat
Bronchitis

Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inf1amed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creoSote byspecial process with other
time tested medicines for coughs
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)

Twelve Billion Years To Go

The old saying that the first hundred years are
the hardest is put right in it's place by little free
hand estimating recently done the age of the sun
The sun, hazards Dr.. George Gamow, professor of
physics at George Washington University, is mere
yongser of some two billion years, and ought to live
to the ripe old age of IL billion. The age of our own
earth is also about two billion years, he calculates not
specifying how many years remain to it.
Nevertheless, to those who irked by the ap-
parent slowness of progress it would appear that
this kind of cosmic scale of measurement, there's

A New Book By
Judge Alley Is
Highly Praised
Random Thoughts and Mus
ings of A Mountaineer"
Reviewed BY Johnston

Random Thoughts and the
Musings of a Mountaineer," an in
teresting book on the people of
the mountains of North Carolina
by Judge Felix E. Alley, of Way
nesville, is being highly acclaim
ed throughout the state.
Ira T. Johnston, who has just
finished reading the book, releas-
ed statements this week, highly
praising the volume.
Among other things, the book
contains a complete history of
settlements in this section as we'll
as in the western area of the
state.
Since his appointment as sup
erior court judge by Gov. j. c. B.
Ehringhaus, Judge Alley has held
two terms of court in Ashe coun-
ty. He is still active on the bench.
'"The recent book by Judge AL
ley should be read by every
North Carolinian, particularly by
every North Carolinian who &c a
native Of the mountains" Mr..
Johnston states.
"Spread before the reader is a
varied feast; word painting and
eloquence rarely equalled; law,
logic and common sense happily
combined; wit, humor and anec-
dote, richly blended with local
color; and unique and unusual
historical facts to stir the interest
of people generally and increase
the pride of mountaineers in their
heritage.
II hope it will have a wide cir
culation in this section as de-
served tribute to Judge Alley who
is we'll known to our people as an
able and just Presiding Judge. /
hope it will have wide and time
ly reading now when noun
taineers are lifting up their heads
and holding out their hands and
opening up their hearts and re-
plying to all the world that is ask
ing "what do you have?" in the
words of the age-o1d declaration
of faith, "Come and See"

Santa Claus, Ind,
Attrdcts Volumes
Of Christmas Mail

About rs years ago the people Of
a community in Indiana applied for
post office, asking Santa Fe as a
name. There already was post Of
fee by that name in Indiana, and
since it was a short time before
Christmas, the people decided to
name the town Santaclause, in one
word.
In 1888 the name was changed to
two words, Santa Claus. Since then
letters from all over the world have
come in, until now it takes force
of about eight people through No.
vember and December to handle the
Christmas mail with a new electric
canceling machine. About $4,000
pieces a day are dispatched around
Christmas.
A Santa Claus headquarters is
maintained where thousands of tour
lists and visitors buy gifts and post
cards. During the Christmas week,
Santa Claus, in full uniform and
long whiskers, presides.
Although this is the only town in
the world bearing this name, other
places have names associated with
the Yule holiday.
Christmas island, in the Pacific
ocean, is so named because Captain
Cook landed there Christmas day,
1777.
Five communities in the United
States are named for this holiday.
There is a Christmas In ella coun-
ty. Arizona; Orange county, Flor.
ida; Lawrence county, Kentucky;
Bolivar county, Mississippi; and
Roane county. Tennessee.
Minnesota boasts Of lake by the
name of Christmas. 1t is located in
Scott county.

children couldn't bulge the huge
Christmas tree selected for their
schOOlyard - but they had a good
time trying to help.
and finally, sprinkle them with ar
tifcial snow. Small gourds, seed
pods and pine cones can be treated
in like manner, after they've been
painted with quick-drying enamel,
or with aluminium paint.
Much pleasure will be derived by
a child if he or she is allowed to
make strings of cranberries, pop
corn or small pieces of stale bread
to hang on special Christmas tree
for the birds. Later children can
string them about a shrub or tree
in the front yard, and watch the
birds enjoy Christmas, too.

Porcupines have economic i'm

valuable property belonging to man
disturbing his budget. Since we
must conserve all our assets in Or

Beavers, the outstanding members
of the rodent family, are friends
of ours. The other members, eX-

Wait until you hear the story of
the common rat, rodent walking
off with millions each year.
Although the porcupine is also
a rodent, the special protection
provided by nature for it, a coat

in a class of its own. The creature
