A raw egg is one of the most nu-
of foods and may be taken
easily if the yolk is not broken.
A little nutmeg grated upon the
egg, a few drops of juice add-
ed, some chopped parsley sprinkled
over it or some salt and a dash
pepper vary the flavor and
tend to make it more palatable
when not taken as a medicine.
The white of a raw egg turned

each. The women made

Hanrahan, N. C. Feb. 1908- l ,
The time was when the differ-
sections of the State were
POOR PRINT
and yet some men steal. Our
statutes are full of prohibition
laws, which are violated by some
one almost every day. Do we
hear those men say these do not
prohibit and therefore let them
be repealed Nay, verily. It
is only when it is proposed to
prohibit by law something of
the wreck and ruin produced by
the sale of whiskey that we hear
the cry that prohibition does not
prohibit.
I now propose, very briefly, to
show that prohibition does pro-
prohibit-not absolutely, but
largely and beneficially. In the
first place I remark that no
man law is perfect in its con-
or execution. We have
to take all law with its human
limitations, but the law which
prohibits the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquor CAN
BE MADE as efficient as any
other law if the people so will it.
In the next place I remark that
we are all more or less creatures
of habit. If we have the habit
of going to bed at nine o'clock,
when nine o'clock comes a
feeling creeps upon us.
If we get in the habit of getting
up at six o'clock when six o'clock
comes we become wakeful. If
twelve o'clock be our dinner
hour, when noon comes hunger
comes with it. Men even con-
tract the dirty, filthy habit of
chewing tobacco and when the
habit gets a good hold upon
them they are never satisfied
except when they have a of
the stuff in their mouth. So

COTTON SEED MEAL AND HULLS

There is no question at all about

that part of it is certain. But
everything should be done to

Many of the soils throughout
the cotton and tobacco growing
states are greatly in need of a
larger amount of organic matter
than exists in the soils at the
present time. When nature turns
the soil over to man for
purposes, it is usually made
up partly of sand, partly of clay,
or of that combination of sand
and clay which we call loam.
These materials constitute the
mineral matter of the soil. They
also constitute the largest part of
the soil material, but in the
natural soil when it is first
there are also consider-
able amounts of leaves and the
stems and blades of Brasses and
weeds, together with the roots
home made
lands would consist of about
lbs. of cotton seed meal and
pounds of acid phosphate
mixed together and
plied to an acre of ground. In
the case of lands and of the
yellow lands along the coast it
would be well also to add about
pounds of to the com-
The amount of
or of of potash would
need to be increased in the case
of a dark brown mucky soil,
which occurs in hollows and
along streams, and the amount
of cotton seed meal, that is, of
nitrogenous matter would need
to be reduced.
