good health. This fact proves that while
Catarrh is a local disease, it is greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions.

On account of weather conditions at previous
showing of this picture, very few saw it. The
management has arranged for another showing
which will enable all to see it. It is a picture
that will touch the heart of every man, woman
and child who sees it. It is a terrific arraign
ment of the narcotic evil, and as such is bound
to win favor with all right-thinking people. Mrs.
Reid is splendid in this picture, and is ably as

NOTICE, POLICY HOLDERS OF

An assessment of 50 cents per
SIOO has just been made to cover
fire loss of Mr. S. W. Tarpley. It is
important that this assessment be
paid at once and policy holders are
urged to see our new secretary and
treasurer, Mr. H. W. Searcy, in his
(office at the court house as soon as
possible.
j At a recent meeting of the direc
tors it was decided to rewrite every
policy so that proper copies might
be made and put away i n fire proof
files in the office of the secretary.
We have found that many policies
did not tally with our books as some
of them were written years ago when
;the company was first organized.
• When you pay your assessment please
( bring* your policy and leave it with
the secretary.
A meeting of all policy holders will
be held in the grand jury room of
the court house on the first Tuesday
in April at 10:30. If you don’t bring
your policy to the secretary before
that time, be sure and have it here

THE MONROE ADVERTISER
AS TO WOMEN’S HIGH HEELS
Biologist Predicts Ultimate Loss of
All Toes but One if Their
Use Continues.
A London biologist Is quoted as
making the prediction that if women
keep on wearing high heels they will
find themselves eventually with only
one toe, says the New York Herald.
With the high heels now worn, he
says, three toes are sufficient for walk
ing ; and as nature always gets rid of
superfluous organs It seems likely
that in the course of time women's
toes will be reduced to three, and per
haps later to two, or even one.
The biologist is not mentioned by
name but apparently he accepts a the
ory that most evolutionists have aban
doned. The present view of orthodox
biologists is that acquired character
istics are not inherited.
Even Bernard Shaw, who, venturing
into this controversy in "Baek to
Methuselah," argues with his usual
energy against the orthodox view, ad
mits that many generations of Chinese
women have bound their feet "without
producing the slightest tendency on
their part to be born with abnormally
small feet.”
; He also, descending the scale, con
cedes that the clipped ears and docked
tails which fanciers have inflicted on
generations of dogs have not affected
the ears and tails of the dogs’ pup
pies. And descending still further, he
recalls the experiments of the biolo
gist Weismann, who cut off the tails of
a colony of mice, and the tails of the
children of \ mice, and the tails of
the children X the children of the
mice, without finding that the tails of
the descendants were any shorter than
those of their ancestors.
| So the toes of coining generations
are probably safe regardless of the
fashion in women's footwear.

QUEER FACTS ABOUT DRESS
-
Cut and Make of Some of Our Com
mon Articles of Apparel
Explained.
We still have buttons, but no button
holes, on the cuffs of overcoats. They
were originally Introduced in the Seven
teenth century, when coat cuffs were
Intended to turn back.
The stripes down the sides of some
trousers are z a survival from the time
when breeches were made so close in
fitting that they had to be buttoned on.
The buttons are forgotten, the stripes
alone remain, says Pearson’s Weekly.
The swallow-tail coat is the descend
ant of that which was buttoned back
to save the lining from getting dirty
by rubbing against the hide of a horse.
Side pockets on coats were the out
come of the slash made to permit the
projection of the sword handle.
The original reason for cutting away
the coat In front was to display fine
linen —the wearing of which was a sign
of wealth.
Stockings were once made from a
straight piece of material. The clocks
down the sides are the survival of the
seam that made a fit possible.
The leggings worn today are “direct
descendants” of the leather stockings
once worn by our ancestors.
Buttons were at one time regarded
as ornaments, and many people, be
cause of this, refused to wear any
buttons but those which were abso
lutely necessary to keep their clothes
together.
Lower Berths for All.
Spaciousness and comfort both day
and night, and a lower berth for every
body, are provided In an ingenious new
design for sleeping cars proposed by M.
O. Krarup, consulting engineer, and
described In Popular Science Month
ly. Two rows of seats, of the design
of armchairs, are proposed for each
side of the car, these doubling Its
seating accommodation in the day
time but without crowding. At night,
partitions similar to Venetian blinds
divide the car Into compartments and
the chairs are converted Into berths
by lowering the back cushions and ex
tending the seats. Each compartment
would contain comfortable headroom,
a wash basin and a large mirror.
Figures Were Not There.
The class had been told to draw a
picture of a river with two figures sit
ting on the bank. Going round the
class the teacher came to a boy who
had finished his drawing. She looked
at his paper and was surprised to find
only a river.
“Why, Jack,” she said, “where are
the two people I told you to draw?”
“Well, you see, miss,” he answered,
"I'm not very good at drawing people
so I put up a notice: ‘Trespassers
will be prosecuted.'"
Dignity Respected.
Among the less familiar stories
about Charles M. Schwab Is this one:
“Mr. Schwab, who is very fond of
farce comedy, one day hade bis sec
retary get him two tickets for 'Char
lie’s Aunt.’ Summoning the office boy
the secretary said: ‘Go round to the
theater and get two tickets for ‘Char
lie’s Aunt.”’
The boy hesitated anud said: "But
hadn’t I better say Mr. Schwab's aunt,
sir?”—Boston Transcript.
One-Man Railway for Roof Workers.
The Seattle Dally Times has In
stalled on the top of Its six-story
newspaper building a small "one-man”
railway for the convenience of work

on tjie roof carries a 200-pound coun
terbalance, which circumnavigates the
roof. A man, standing on the plat
form suspended from the car, can
reach all cornice lights on the building.

| I wish to state that the City of Forsyih and the ©
| State Highway Department have just completed J?
? grading and soiling of the highway through the -- \Zy -k
city and on this job the county and city had four ( W
Fordson tractors, all of which were equipped with r X
your A.L.W. Tractor Hitch, and I will tell any M
man that the A.L.W. Hitch is the most satisfactory attachment I ever saw added to any piece of O
machinery, for it is an absolute guarantee that your driver will not get hurt by the tractor turning L.
over backwards, or your wheeler mules being knocked about and strained and always with a sour
neck. Just dozens of times would I have seen the tractors turn over if it had not been for the fact
they were equipped with the A.L.W. Hitch, and on the whole job I did not see a single mule with a
sour neck, for the fact that the A.L.W. Hitch allowed you to hitch the snatch chain On a line with the M
end of the wheeler tongue instead of pulling downward putting aiFawful strain on your mules’ necks, UK
as you would be forced to do without the use of your A.L.W. Hitch. I will be glad to recommend -K
this Hitch to any tractor owner or prospective buyer at any time. Wishing you much success, £
