In making Chesterfields we use mild ripe home-grown arid Turkish tobaccos. A .. for mildness .. for better taste Sunday School Lesson BY REV. CHARLES E. DUNN Belshazzar’s Feast. Lesson for October 27th. Daniel 5:1-31. Golden Text: Proverbs 20:1. Belshazzar’s profane banquet, with its disgraceful carousing, prompts a few reflections on the menace of alcohol. Carefully com piled evidence demonstrates clear ly to the unbiased mind that even a moderate use of alcohol increases the death-rate. The records of life insurance companies in 4 this re spect are very revealing. One of the best American companies care fully divides its policyholders, ac cording to their habits in the use of alcohol, into the four following groups: Group A, total abstainers; Group B, moderate users; Group C, regular beer drinkers; and Group D, regular spirit drinkers. Its mortality tables show that in Group B the death rate is 11 per cent above that of Group A, while Group C shows a 31 per cent in crease, and Group D an 83 per cent increase over the total abstainers’ rate. These findings are in line with laboratory and clinical evidence proving that alcohol, even in mod erate quantities, produces definite ill-effects such as lowering one’s resistance to disease, increasing the chances of accident, and less ening one’s mental and physical efficiency, besides exerting a de generative effect upon the vital ALL-WE1THER 43% MORE MILES OF REAL NOR-SKID SAFETY, at no extra cos!

On the contrary, tests made under rigid scientific control show conclusively that al cohol, even though in such a dilut ed form is still a poison. Fortunately our people as a whole realize the sobering facts about booze, for the statistics of the government’s Bureau of Interna. Revenue indicate that though our population, in recent years, has in creased more than ene-fifth, the amount of liquor consumed, both hard and soft, has dropped. And this decline is absolute, not rela tive. And despite the bootleggers it seems safe to say that we are a bit sobberer, as a nation, than we were in those mythical “good old days.” -tXf- Colored Teachers To Meet Saturday All teachers of McCormick Coun ty Colored Teachers’ Association are requested to meet Saturday, Octo ber 26th, at Bethany School in Mc Cormick, S.

Beware The Cough From a common cold That Hangs On No matter how many medicines you have tried for your cough, chest cold or bronchial irritation, you can get re lief now with Creomulsion. Creomul- elon not only contains the soothing elements common to many remedies; such as. Syrup of White Pine Com pound with Tar, fluid extract of Licorice Root, fluid extract of Ipecac for its powerful phlegm loosening effect, fluid extract of Cascara for its mild laxative effect and, most impor tant of all. Beech wood Creosote is perfectly blended with all of these to reach the source of the trouble from the inside. Creomulsion can be taken fre quently and continuously by adults and children with remarkable results. Thousands of doctors use Creomul sion in their own families as well as in their practice knowing how Creo mulsion aids nature to soothe the in flamed membranes and heal the irri tated tissues as the germ-laden phlegm is loosened and expelled. Druggists also know the effectiveness of Beech- wood Creosote and they rank Creo mulsion top for coughs because you get a real dose of Creosote in Creo mulsion, emulsified so that it is palat able, digestible and potent for going to the very seat of the trouble. Creomulsion is guaranteed satis factory in the treatment of coughs, chest colds and bronchial irritations and especially those stubborn ones that start with a common cold and hang on for dreadful days and nights thereafter. Even if other remedies have failed, your druggist is authorized to guarantee Creomulsion and to refund every cent of your money if you are not satisfied with results from the very first bottle. Don’t worry through another sleepless night—phone or go get a bottle of Creomutoon right now. (Adv.) WANT ADV. FOR SALE—Hasting’s 100 to 1 Oats at 50 cents a bushel at my place.

FRANCES DEE ARE TEAMED IN SO PHISTICATED COMEDY ROMANCE The boy was unbelievably rich, handsome and a royal prince, yet he pretended to be nobody. The girl was young and lovely, enjoying a mad merry fling at life with her last five thousand—and her first. And then they met! There, in a nutshell, is the deli cious, mirth-provoking situation in which Fox Film’s “The Gay Decep tion,” showing at the Hollywood Theatre Friday and Saturday, Oc tober 25th and 26th, places its ro mantic stars, Francis Lederer and Frances Dee. It all starts when Miss Dee, a sweet young secretary who has longed all her life to be in the whirl of gay city life, wins a sweep- stake prize and decides to spend it on one delirious spree of pleasure. She hies herself to New York and to its ritziest hotel. And, even though she is mistaken for an heir ess. she fails to find the colorful life she had anticipated. There are even annoyances, one annoyance in particular. He is a bellboy who criticizes her hats and clothes and tells her how lovely she is. And just as often as she has him fired she finds him back again, until she finally begins to take an interest in the handsome young scapegrace. She has no way of knowing that he is a prince in disguise, not even when he turns up in all his royal regalia and accompanies her to the season’s gala ball. And when, through some curious misunder standing, he is arrested as an im postor, the girl finds herself fight ing for his release because she is In love with him. Through one brilliant high com edy scene after another, “The Gay Deception” moves to its close and Miss Dee admits that she does love Lederer, even if he is a prince and: not the poor boy she hoped he was. Produced by Jesse Lasky and di rected by William Wyler, “The Gay Deception” features Alan Mowbray, Benita Hume, Akim Tamiroff and Lennox Pawle in its. supporting cast. How Lavish Beauty of Color Distinguishes *T5ecky Sharp” FAMOUS DRAMATIC ROMANCE VISUALIZED IN BREATHLESS CHARM BY THE NEW ART OF MOTION PICTURE How do you like your rainbows? Do you prefer them in dull shades of whites, grays and blacks, or do you think them more beautiful in the full complement of their na ture-given colors? The public has had : a taste of what pictures made in color can be, in Pioneer Pictures’ introduc tory two-reeler, “La Cucarafcha,” and now is going to be served to a full helping with “Becky Sharp,’*’ the same producing company’s first full length, full-color feature, showing at the Hollywood Theatre Monday and Tuesday, October 28th and 29th. Frcm the black and white film to the full-color film is the greatest stride forward that the motion pic ture industry has taken since sound., disrupted the serene calm of the silent days. It was said then that sound was only a fad, that it couldn’t possibly survive. But survive, it did, and. how. it improved the quality and range of screen entertainment is a matter, of history. Those who later- said that color is just a flash in: the pan. werer silenced by “La Cu- caracha,” and they are promised a further rebuke with “Becky Sharp.” The Technicolor new full-color process brings in “Becky Sharp’.* to the motion picture screen for the first lavish beauty of color which has been applied as a master would apply it.toe-a painting in oil. The master who. has applied the brush to “Becky Sharp,” is Robert- Edmond Jones, who showed his genius in “La Cucaracha.” Rou- ben Mamoulian, artist in dramatic handling, directed. The delicate^ coloring of Miriam Hopkins’ skin, the sparkling blue of her eyes, the shimmering gold of her hair, one would s^e in life, is faithfully visualized on the screen. So al£o are' the beautiful gowns of the ladles in soft pastel shades,, and the uniforms of English offi cers, brilliant with red as they were when Napoleon’s guns were heard firing on Waterloo. The crystal chandeliers give out a vari-colored shower of reflected light. Each scene has been blended into a per fect art harmony, making each bit of drama and spectacle one of convincing life. “Becky Sharp” is the screen presentation of the Langdon Mit chell stage play which was adapted from Thackeray’s famous “Vanity Fair”. Miriam Hopkins, starred in the title role, heads probably the most notable dramatic cast ever brought to the screen. It includes Sir Cedric Hardwicke, greatest of living English actors. Frances Dee, Alison Skipworth, Nigel Bruce, William Faversham, Alan Mow bray, Billie Burke, and others. “Becky Sharp” is an RKO Radio Picture produced . by Rouben Ma moulian.
