V ' - - - " \ ? iki Health and Beauty (By Dr. Sophia Brunson) Good Looks, Series No, 7?The Cultivation of the Mind A face that has only perfect fea turea and even beautiful coloring to recommend it, is utterly blank and insipid unless illumined by an inteb liuent and cultivated mind, combined -with a sweet and noble spirit. In the years of very early life great attention should be paid to the development of the body. The child's mind is engaged -with the curious I world into which he has been launched. He wonders about all of his strange surroundings and constantly asks questions concerning himself and the objects that he sees. His life is made up of a series of interrogations. The intelligent and sympathetic caretaker answers his questions In a sane and sensible way and does not turn a deaf ear or command, him to keep quiet. His interest in what he sees reveals qri inquiring mind. Natfrre is gently leading hir^n along the pleasant and useful paths.of learning. If his attempts at acquiring knowledge are met in a proper manner, his questions will either be truthfully answered, or he will bo told that he is too young to comprehend the subject now, but when he grows older that it will be explained to him. Thus the child's education progresses in a normal manner. Happy the children whose parents understand that they the God-appointed guardians of their little ones, intrusted to their care, end that their whole future depends upon the careful training which they receive in childhood. The girl who is born with a beautiful face, but is ignorant and untaught cannot compete in attractiveness with one who is only passably good looking but has a cultivated mind and a sweet spirit. You may want to know what connection there is between cultivation of the mind and the growth of beauty. Bring a little scraggly wild flower, into your garden and plant. At first the blossoms are insignificant like those of the same variety in the forest from which it came. You tend and cultivate it with care. It gets water when it needs it, it is where the rays of the sun can reach it for at least a part of the day. Your endeavors follow the laws of its being and give it an opportunity, to reach the highest development of which it is capable. The result is a healthy, flourishing growth that produces finer and more beautiful flowers. The same is true of human beings, there is just as intimate relation between mental health and beauty as there is between physical health and beauty. Question?'What is itch? Itch is a contagious affection. It is medically known as scabies. The treatment must be directed to the destruction of the parasite which causes it, and the alleviation of the irritation. Sulphur is one of the best remedies, usually applied in the form of an ointment. James J. Masterson of Philadelphia was badly jarred by a police court judge when he was placed under $15,000 bail bond Tuesday for breach of the peace. Masterson is a professional gambler and he appeared as a witness in "behalf of his bodyguard, Joseph Kelly, who was up for carrying a pistol. The gambler admitted hiring Kelly as a personal guard because ho frequently went about the street with large sums of money on his person. The judge told the gamblerhe was as guilty as his guard. Four negroes, three of them said to be preachers, are under ar^st at Eldorado, Ark., on charges of operating illicit stills.

NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS Following is a copy of a letter received from the Comptroller General's office: "To All Auditors and Treasurers: "In response to numerous requests for suspension of the penalty provided for February and March on delinquent taxes, and on account of conditions existing at this time, it is deemed advisable to suspend said penalties; "Therefore, under authority of Section 880, Volume 8, Code of Laws, 1922, and with the Approval of the Governor, the penalty of one per cent, for February and five per cent for Marph is hereby suspended until March lbth., when the same will be added to all unpaid taxes for the year 1929, and the books shall be closed; that is to say that .the one per cent, added for January will be collected without further increase until March l?th, 1930.

FARMERS' EARNINGS LESS While There Have Been Big Increases in Salariea New York.?The income of the people of the Unittaf States increased $23,470,000,000 in the last ten years. The increase almost equals the total national income twenty years ago. These figures, showing the enormous progress of the country, in dollars and cents, were released recently by the national bureau of economic research. They< are taken from a report, four years in preparation, which gives in detail the annual changes in the national income and its punching power from 1909 to 1928. The total income in ,1928 was $89.419,000,000 as against $29,005,000,000 in 1909. The average wage earner who made $970 in 1909 received $1,205 last year while the pay of the average salafjed.employee jumped from $970 I'd"1 $2,084 in that period the figures .show. The bureau's report points out that the total of realized incomes does not include changes in the value of property, allowances for the income of housewives and youngsters for services rendered to their own families, money earned through odd-job employment nor expense accounts received by employees. Employees earned a total of $61,123,000,000 last year. The figures show they have added $13,423,000,000 to their 1022 income. The per capita realized income more than doubled between 1000 and 1023 and has been steadily increasing until last year it mounted to $740. For the family of five this would make an annual income of $3,746, of course, as the report takes occasion to point out, the total income is far from being equally divided. Of interest in connection tvith the campaigns for farm relief is a table] which shows the income from agri-ulture declined slightly between lvOO and 1014, increased vigorously during the war period, dropped abruptly! between 1000 and 1021 and has since been able to maintain itself only on the level of the latter year. Agriculture is now producing less than 10 per cent, of the nation's income in contrast with the 18.6 per cent, produced in 1018, the figures indicate. Another interesting feature of the bureau's report in the estimate of the government's part in furnishing income to its citizens, this estimate includes the Federal, stute and local governments, taking ip counties, cities, villages and even school districts. A total of 2,810,000 government workers earned $4,002,000,000 in 1027 or $503,000,000 more than almost twioo as many employees, 1,052,000 to bo exact, made in 1010. 1 Adults Contract Children's Diseases Adults can, and do, Contract many children's diseases. And usually, they suffer from them much more than children do. For instance, many adults contract worms, an ailment usually associated with children. Sometimes they suffer intensely and take expensive medical treatments, without [ realizing that worms are the cause ' of their troubles. Yet, the symptoms i are the same as in children, loss of | appetite and weight, grinding the teeth and restless sleep, itching of the nose and anus, and abdominal pains. And, the same medicine thqt surely and harmlessly expels round and pin worms from children will do the same for adults?White's Cream Vermifuge, which you can get at DeKalb Pharmacy, Camden, is. C.

One Hundred Years of Progress THE"Great Highway of the Union" they called the Petersburg Railroad 100 years ago. A pretentious name for a fifty-nine mile railroad! But one that future years were to justify. Reaching only from Petersburg, Virginia, to a "point one and one-half miles below the falls of the Roanoke River", near the North Carolina Line, the Petersburg Railroad was the first of more than 100 railroads, later to make up the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, that wrought a transformation in every phase of the life of the entire Southeast. Here, along the coast, one hundred years ago, was a land already old, its cities long established, but dependent upon trade and upon an agriculture faced by growing competition. \ Everywhere progress was impeded by the lack of transportation. Planters along the coast and rivers could float . their crops to market; a slow and risky process, but the only one available. Those of the interior must haul tneir produce to the nearest navigable water, usually at a cost too high for any but the most valuable commodities. r Small wonder that the building of the Petersburg Railroad, the Richmond and Petersburg, the vPilmington & Raleigh and many others was welcomed By the farmers and merchants and travelers of tne time. New towns sprang up along the rails. New lands came into bearing. New impetus was given to settlement and trade and travel. But hard times lay ahead for the early railroads. There were long, lean years when crop failures and money panics, lack of credit and the necessity of constantly rebuilding and enlarging their facilities threatened their existence. Today, because of fast, reliable railroad transportation, the coastal lands, once used only for staple crops, send unnumbered trainloads of fruits and vegetables to the markets of less favored sections. Florida, once considered more of "ail obstacle in the coasting trade than as an economic province", reaps a harvest of gold from its citrus fruits and vegetables and is the Mecca of millions of vacation seekers. Industries undreamed of a few years ago now find in this section most favorable conditions for their plants. The double track of the Atlantic Coast Line between Richmond and Jacksonville forms, in truth, the "Great Highway of the Union", over which there moves a commerce vastly greater and more valuable than even the far-sighted founders of the Petersburg Railroac^ could nave imagined. A net-work of lines throughout the Southeast enables many an otherwise isolated section to market its produce and gives encouragement to sound development. The South today is a land of unlimited opportunity. It faces the future with confidence. The Atlantic Coast Line, whose constituent companies have aided the growth and progress of this rich section for the past centuty, is continuing to make steady and far-reaching improvements in its facilities and service so as to contribute, in increasing measure, to the development the coming years shall bring.
