Yet in the ordinary refrigerator it does re-circulate; passing over the food again and again, contaminating milk, butter, etc., and making food compartments smell musty. In the "Odorless" this odor-charged air is not permitted to flow through the box twice. The fresh air enters the ice chamber, and freezing cold drops to the bottom of the box; passe? over the butter and milk while perfectly pure; then travels up over tht other dishes?a system insuring the circulation of a constantly renewec current of pure, fresh, iced air through ORDORLESS Refrigerators.

Eat What Too Like, What Agree* With You, but Eat Slowly. That instinct is a much better guide to diet than faulty reasoning is the conclusion of Dr. Woods Hutchinson, writing on dietetic fads in McClure's Magazine. Here are some of his findings condensed: Men should eat what they like and a Kood deal of it. "Given our age, sex, t-ize, horsepower and the work to be done, the suitable fuel is only a question of cost and accessibility." Fish is no richer in phosphorus than uiuuy uiuci iuuuw. xiiveii 11 it weie it* would uot therefore be "good for the brain," as 9ome suppose. Spices do not "beat the blood." That notion confounds the "hot" taste with actual heat. Spices are antiseptic. The Egyptians preserved mummies in spices. In tropical countries people eat more spices than in cold ones, and the diet does them good. Pork is all right. It digests slowly, but that is an advantage. The more : rapidly digested foods are not the i most healthful. The digtstive mach; inery must have work to do like the 1 rest of the body. Vegetarianism is "the diet of the en1 slaved, stagnant . and conquered i races." A diet rich in meat is that i of the dominant races. 1 Few people who eat much meat I lover hopumu nnniiiimntiuo "T'lihwr. culosis sweeps like a pestilence ? through the grass and grain eaters? > cattle, antelopes, chickens, pheasants, I turkeys?but is decidedly rare among i meat eaiers?dogs, catB, tigers, lions, civets, badges, hawks, eagles, crows." Breakfast foods are well enough if you must have them, but "be sure and eat your breakfast flrst." White bread is the best, most healthful and most nutritious food which the sun has ever grown from the soil." Wars have always been fiercest for the possesion of the great wheat growing plains. No 'nation eats brown bread when it can get ~ white. Instiuct is here alpo correct, j Whole wheat meal, or "graham," contains more nitrogen than white but me wime iias uiuic avanauie- iinro. gen"Mush makes a superb 'sour mash' in a weak stomach.1' "The tortures of the chronic dyspeptic are aggravated and in many cases chiefly caused 1 by the very foods which he takes for their cure." The chief value of "mush aud milk" (meaning also other coarse cereal foods) is in the milk aud sugar* 8 Eat slowly, eat what you like, wba1 agrees with you and as much as you p need, seems to be JJr. Hutchinson's I idea. 1 r We have a few nice hand bags for ladleB which we are cIobIok out at cost, Speeds Drug Store. lore ION lRD ,WAY. 7.906 i View and /"a, head City, N.C. rightsville x .. , I iu muieiiceiu $6.50 $10.50 6.50 10.50 6.00 8.30 5.50 8.00 6.50 10.30 6.50 10.50 'ill be good returning on all regulearest Seaboard Air Line Ticket CHRISTIAN, A. G. P. A., Atlanta, Ga. Denatured Alcohol. The denatured alcohol bill recently passed by congress and sent to the president for his signature is more far reaching in its effects than the public generally imagine. Denatured alcohol is alcohol mixed with a sufficient quantity of methyl or wood alcohol or other materials or mixtures to destroy its use as a beverage or basis for drinks or medicinal purposes, says a Washington special to the New York World. It can be made from any grain, the refuse of sugar' beet factories, potatoes, fruits, cane and caeniva. Grain alcohol now pays an internal revenue tax of $2,07 a ga Ion. Denatured alcohol will pay no tax. Its advocates expect that it can be manufactured and sold as low as $4 a ton. One bushel of com costing not more than 40 cents, will make five gallons of alcohol. Illuminating oil costs from 16 cents a gallon, aua denatured alcohol can be manufactured to sell at from 8 to 10 cents a gallon. The advocates of denatured alcohol pvnpof thnf if urill s_- > 1 ?-w ?? .?jh icvuiuuuujze Dealing, lighting and power generation. They expect it will give farmers a new and better market Jfor grains, sugar beets, cane and other products from which alcohol can be made. They also expect It to? Supplant gasoline and naphtha in generating power for automobiles, launches and small engines. Supplant kerosene as au illuminant, because it does not vitiate the air, and there is less danger of explosions. Cheapen naptha, gasoline and illuminating oils. Cheapen paints, varnishes and perfumery. Increase the manufacture and sale of alcohol lamps and chafing dishes. Cheapen the cost of alcohol used in the arts. Experts say that denatured alcohol will either force the Standard Oil monopoly to reduce the price of gasoline or will displace gasoline altogether. Alcohol is a much cleaner fuel and is very much less dangerous. Gasoline mixed with a certain amount of air forms a low gas which is hiehlv ex plosive. Denatured alcohol will" but it will not explode except under compression. Over 500 gallons may be made from an acre of potatoes. It may be denatured by the application of any one of a half dozen cheap cbemlical elements. It is as pleasant and natural for a man to smoke Speeds Clnco cigars as It Is for a goose to go barefooted.

At last through the Indefatigable energy and perseverance of the ladles we are to have a Confederate Monument In our old historic city and as the foundation Is being laid we presume sngtresilons are In order. We are giad It was moved Into the center of the public pquare Just where we think It should bo, and now that Is settled, we would most respeouully suggest that a nice park surround the Monument say 40 or50 feet from Its base on each side making a square with four gates and enclosed by a neat wire fence, what say the ladles; or tbelr committee, don't you think this would be pretty? Mr. J. H. DuPre, Cashier of the Farmer's Bank, returned home last Sunday from a delightful trip to Old Point Comfort and other points of Interest where he has been enjoying himself for several weeks.

SONNY SLOPE PICNIC. The day was line and a large crowd was present, estimated at from 1000 to 1500. A fine basket dinner was served and candidates and people bad a splendid time. Senator Tillman ma?e a fine speech, but be could not have done otherwise as be had for his tbeme the "Slats dispensary" and Mr. "J. Fraser Lyon." Any candidate wbo could not deliver aflnespetcbon tbese two popular subjects should quit the hustings. The Hon. Wyatt Aiken was present and entertained ibe people In bis usual, good and pleasing style, dealing out to them words of wisdom and truth. Congressman Aiken Is wide awake to the Interests of the people In the rural districts, in securing for them equal rights and privileges with the oity folk In regard to mall facilities and Is pushing ibe "good roads" question everywnere ana in an quarters. Some one has said il you want to gain your point, "keep It before the people;" this la what Col. Aiken In doing and ban been doing all tbe while, and his oonBtltuenta should be proud of his efforts and the good work he has accomplished In their behalf. Mr. Boggs, candidate for Congress from 8rd district entertained the crowd and was well and most favorably received. We caught these three candidates on the fly and didn't have time to bear if my others spoke aa tbe young man who told us was with hit "sweetheart" and couldn't tell whether any others spoke or not, so we of course excused blm and thanked him for tbe information be so klDdly gave us. Tbe many friends of Mr. J. Kraser Lyon are proud to see tbe "ovations" given blm while on tbe campaign. He Is a blgb toned gentleman of honest heart and purpose, and Is capable and efficient to discharge the duties of any office to wblch be will aspire, and Is sure not to betray the confidence of those who honor him with their suffrage.
