A Local Lady Spit
Up Acid Liquids For

For hours after every meal, a
Wilmington lady used to spit up a
strong, acidulous liquid mixed with
pieces Of half-digested food. She
says it was awful. At times she
would nearly strangle. She had
stomach bloat, daily headaches
and constant irregular bowel ac.,

meals and enjoys them. And she
says the change is due to taking

N. C.. State College

Now that new furniture is hard
to obtain and since there is def
mite need for Frightening up farm
homes, thousands of women in
Home Demonstration CT u b S
throughout North Carolina are be-
ing given training in the selection
of material and the making of slip
covers.
In stanly, Mitchell, Pennsylvania,
jackson, Ashe, Allegheny, Wilkes,
Nash, Greene, Pitt, and Beaufort
counties, for example, a total of
500 women were trained last month
in series of meetings to make
these covers. They in turn will
help other members of their clubs
in doing the job.
Some women said that they were
afraid to curt the new material be-
cause it was so expensive. After
the demonstrations they were sure
they would enjoy making patterns
and cutting the material just as If
it were for dress.
Don't be afraid to tackle the job.
That comfortable old chair needs
to be made bright and gay again.
Just add some patience, perse-
verance, and pins to your present
knowledge of sewing, and you will
be proud of the slip cover you
make. Here are some simple di-
rections that you can follow!
Outline tho Pattern
Cut a pattern of tough, brown
wrapping paper to fit the chair.
When you have finished cutting
the pattern try it on the chair to
check any mistakes. Mark the
pattern carefully; Cd lengthwise
material, (2) place on fold, 90
seam allowance to be added, "a
tuck in g inches) around the
seat.
It is most important to take time
and make this pattern fit perfect
ly, even if one or two pieces have
to be cut over. At slip cover
demonstration held in Beaufort
County in October one of the wom-
en- remarked, Il have just covered
Morris chair the sixth time. If
l had cut a pattern the first time
my work would have been one
half done all of the other five
times"
The pattern can be placed on a
table in the best position to be cut
and the exact amount of material
needed will be easy to estimate.
If large figured material is to be
used, buy l IL yards of extra ma
terial. This will be needed to place
the center interest of the design
properly.
Buy strong, clearly woven mate
rial that is sun and tub fast and
preshrunk. Then, your slip cover
can be made to fit the chair and
will be easy to launder. For your
first slip cover, I recommend five
beautiful, thick white feed bags.
These can be. dyed any color you
choose. However, the natural
white with a colored cord is most
attractive and washes satisfac-
Iorily.
Pin the pattern on the material
according to your directions and
cut. Mark or haste the material at
the edge of the pattern to show
seam allowance. This will help fit
the pieces together. as the bastlne

EXPERTS PUBLISH
DISEASE BULLETIN

COLLEGE STATION, Raleigh,
Nov. 18.-The status Of disease
resistant varieties of flue-cured to-
bacco for the 1916 crop has been
published by DR.. T. E. Smith and
E. G. Moss of the Tobacco Branch
Station at Oxford and
Howard R. Garris, Extension plant
pathologist at State College.
A mimeograpned copy of this
information may be obtained by
writing Garriss at State College,
Raleigh. Varieties available at the
present time are resistant to
single diseases but not to all the
diseases that attack the crop.
Therefore, the grower must know
what disease he has on his farm,
if he is to get the right variety

for controlling the trouble.

for controlling the trouble.
The "400'' variety is resistant
to black root rot, a disease that
attacks the smaller roots of the
plant, causing stunted growth OF
the ground parts.
The Oxford strains l, 2, 8, and
4 are resistant to black shank,
disease which attacks the larger
roots and stalk, causing death of
the plant at a rather rapid rate.
Oxford 26 is resistant to Gran
vile wilt but this variety is rec
commended only for those fields
known to be contaminated with
the Granville wilt disease.
The Experiment Station is max
ing progress in the breeding of
a variety resistant to Fusarium
wilt but as yet it is not ready for
commercial production. The sta
ton is also working on varieties
resistant to root knot and MOSAIC.
When suitable strains have been
developed, they will be made
available for commercial use.

When asked about that now fire.
quently-heard complaint of losses
from stray dogs, Mr.. Swindell
said, II can shoot straight when
dogs bother my sheep"
He keeps only about Is to 20
ewes, yet this past season he sold
$14 worth of lambs and wool. Last
year he sold $172 worth and the
year before, $275 worth. He was
one of the first men in that section
to start selling his lambs through
the cooperative pools arranged by
the farm agents and he has been
an enthusiastic supporter of the
plan since it was started several
years ago.
Few farmers would have cour-
age enough to try keeping very
much livestock on an 8-acre farm
and perhaps sheep are the kind of
animals that Mr.. Swindell should
grow. Over in Ashe County, how
ever, E. D. Caudill of the Smeth-
port section has only nine-acre
farm. Last year he had a gross
farm income of $1,730 from this
farm. In addition to a garden, fruit
trees and small creages of corn
and hay crops, he keeps four cows
and laying flock of 300 good
hens. He said that the greater por-
ton of his expense came from
buying feed; but, even at that, his
labor income was over 500 an
acre for his nine acres.
It is healthy sign to see sports
men and others in the towns and
cities taking an interest in the de-
velopmen and conservation OF
wild life. In Mecklenburg County,
the Charlotte Wildlife Club contri-
buted $3.50 this year to be used as
awards to All club members for
projects protecting the wildlife of
the county and for the best essays
telling of their work. The contest
was closed on October 10 with 120
boys and girls submitting repors
on the work done. Awards were
made to them at a banquet held
in Charlotte when $50 club mem
bers and their parents were guests
of the Wildlife Club. In addition
to prizes given for the best work,
a special pin was given to each
boy and girl who carried out a
project this year. ''Peavine'' Rey-
nolds, farm agent in Mecklenburg,
said it was real thrill to hear
the young people tell of their work
in providing feed and cover for
the wild things on their farms and
to see them being rewarded for
their efforts.

CHESTNUT STREET
PAVING STARTED

Work was under way yesterday
TO rebuild and widen Chestnut
street 10 SO feet between Second
and Fifth streets so as to relieve
congested traffic conditions on
the thoroughfare.
In an explanation of the work,
City Manager A. c. Nichols said
the old pavement was so bad 1t
required resurfacing, but its con-
dition was not desirable to do this
work, so we are rebuilding it and
at the same time widening the
street"
The widening Of Chestnut to
Fifth street, he said, will make
it tie in with a through-street at
Fifth. Traffic meters will be set
back of the new curb line.
During the progress of the WORK,
the street blocks will be blocl =
to traffic intermittently.
Mr.. Nichols pointed out that
widening of the muchly used street
would Undoubtedly facilitate
the procedure of traffic. The three
blocks will be extended to the
same width as that at the corner
of Third and Chestnut, where he
explained it reaches its full width.
Trees along the street have been
cut down to allow the work to
proceed.

MANY SHARES HIT
DOWNWARD TREND

NEW YORK, March 7.-(P-
Many stocks fell back for mod
crate losses today under a slow
selling movement in the wake of
an early advance in the leaders.
Pivotal industrials and rails gen
orally finished fractions to point
lower with some above the bot
toms. Sugars and few special
lists showed gains. The oils also
had good support at the end. Vol
ume was 100000 shares com
pared with 100000 yesterday.
The markets reversal seemed
partly the result of technical con-
siderations and as well as failure
of the steels, yesterdays leaders,
to carry through on their morning
rise. News of the day had little
influence although some issues at
intervals were responsive to an
nual earnings statements.
The Associated Press 60-stock
composite was unchanged at 62.6.
The rail average was down a OF
point at 37.4.
Bonds held to a narrow swing.
Cotton futures were 10 cents a
bale higher to As cents lower.
Curb stocks at improved levels
included Cuban Atlantic Sugar,
McCord Corp. and Salt Dome Oil.
Humble Oil and pantepec Oil lost
ground. Transactions here were
