Health Service Shows Re
duction in Tuberculosis.
Many diseases are be
. , decreased x by the .activities of
health departments, says the United
states public health service in a re
vl(lw of the progress being made
fl?a j ns t disease, while other maladies
!lre holding their own, and still others
ire actually increasing. '1
Disease of the heart at present
.causes more deaths in this country
than any other one thing. The health
Officer, it is said, cannot do much to
■prevent heart disease except to give
' advice, but the layman can. “Your j
heart is your own,” says the review, j
"and yen -can easily neglect and abuse
or you cca be taught how to take
care -of it. Most cases of heart dis
ease result from avoidable conditions
and are oontracted usually early in
bjjfe if spou wish to know how to
avoid these conditions, go to your doc
tor or .your dentist, or both. They
can help you avoid heart disease if
you go to them In time.
“Influenza and pneumonia together
stand next to heart disease in the
cumber of deaths which they cause.
Reports of tuberculosis for 1924 have
not yet been completed. We know
that this disease killed 78,423 in the
35 states from wiiich reports have
been received. Estimating for the
rest of the population at the same
rate, we assume that 112,000 persons
died in the United States in 1924 of
tuberculosis. This, of course, is bad,
but it is the lowest rate we have ever
bad. If the same rate had prevailed
in 1924 as we had in 1900, there should
have been 233,000 deaths instead of
112,000. so you see there were pro
portionately less than one-half as
many deaths in 1924 as in 1200.
Ccntrol cf Diphtheria.
“Iflj htheria is a disease which doc
tors and health officers have learned
how to control, provided the people
wi 11 co-operate, but not otherwise.
Based on the rates for 35 states from
which reports have been received, it
is estimated that there were 10,700.
deaths from diphtheria in 1924. Now
that is bad, but It is the lowest rate
we have ever had. Again, If the 1900
rate prevailed, we would have had
nearly fiO.OOO deaths instead of 10,700.
In other words, there were proportion
ately nearly five times a3 many deaths
from diphtheria in 1900 as there were:
In 1924. If parents would have their
children Schick-tested and have the
doctor give the toxin-antitoxin treat
ment to those who are susceptible to
the disease, there would not be very
much diphtheria left. You may write;
to the surgeon general for literature
on diphtheria.
"Many people- think that whooping
cough is not a serious disease. Well, |
whooping cough is not so serious sor 1
grown people or for older children, but:
it murders babies and young children!
by the thousands. Do not let your;
baby get whooping cough.
“At the beginning of the present cen
tury the control of typhoid fever
seemed almost hopeless. Today we are
usually able to find out who or what
Is to blame, even if It is only a small
outbreak of typhoid fever. However,
present conditions indicate that there
Was more typhoid fever in the United
States in 1825 than in 1924, and health
officers everywhere are on the alert
to check this tendency.
Measles Hard to Combat.
“Measles is a disease which is ex
tremely difficult to combat in the pres
et state of our knowledge. While
there has been a general reduction in
the death rate from this disease since
1900 ’ redaction is not marked,
and the course of the disease is very
irregular. Our inability to control
7 measles is due in great measure to the
act that there usually elapses a. pe
riod of about four days from the time
the appearance of the Initial symp-'
onis to the time of the appearance of

PITTSBORO, N. C„ CHATHAM COUNTY, Thursday, july m, i 926
A LIVELY SCRAMBLE FOR ROAD
The county commissioners had a
lively scramble before them Monday
for a proposed road from the Chapel
Hill highway out into New Hope town
snip. t here were three roads propos
ed for improvement, the one leading
east by Lystra church, the one leav
ing the Chapel Hill highway at Far
rington’s saw mill, and the one lead
ing eastward from the Riggsbee store.
The commissioners listened but said
little. However, they did agree to
improve the Lystra road if the people j
of the community benefitted would
contribute $300.00 to the project.
The purpose is to give an outlet to !
the people of the northeastern part of
the county, a thing that is badly
needed. The eastern terminal of the
road will probably be Darnngton, a
depot on the Durham branch of the I
Norfolk-Southern. The question is i
where it shall leave the Pittsboro- i
Chapel Hill highway.

A MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR
Forestry Expert Declares Chatham
County Forests Should Yield
that Sum—Trees Chatham’s
Biggest Crop
Mr. R. W. Graeber, Extension For- <
ester, N. C. State College, Raleigh,
spent Thursday and Friday with <
County Agent Shivers, looking over
the timber lands of Chatham County
farms. Group meetings of farmers ,
were held at the farms of Mr. Ira
; Foushee and Mr. Clyde Griffin. In
discussing the timber crop of this '
i county Mr. Graeber said, “The tim-
I her crop of Chatham county is the ;
biggest single crop in the county, in 1
fact it has more than double the acre
age of all other crops combined. But
from the evidence we find on every
l hand too many people do not handle !
! their timber as a crop, they mine their i 1
j timber without any regard forthe 1 ;
future.” Figures are given to show 1
the land utilization in this county, j
which offers much food for thought'
on the part of the land owners.
The U. S. Farm Census gives the
farm acreage of Chatham county as
follows:
All land in farms... 320,999 acres
Crop land, 1924 94,398 acres
Harvested 68,570 ;
Crop failure 1,454
Idle 24,374
Pasture land, 1924 40,847 acres f
Plowable 10,382
Woodland 22,291 !
Other 8,174
I Woodland not pastured. 170,280 acres
All other land 15,474 acres
j commenting on these figures Mr. I
! Graeber says, “Please note the acre- j
j age of woodland in your county, a
total of 192,571 acres. If every acre j
of this wood was put in condition to !
grow a full stand of trees of either
loblolly pine, shortleaf pine, poplar,
or even sweetgum, the'a-nuax
of this growth would approximate one
million dollars. Average pine lands
[will produce an annual i.u. erne of J
[ I $5.00 or more per aci _. Quite a few
j areas in Chatham county are even
i more productive. If these pine lands
’ are given the same carefui manage
ment that cotton or tobacco receives
the income can be increased from 50
to 100 percent. I would also have
you note the 24,374 acres of land
cleared but idle. So long as Chatham
has this amount of idle land there is
L no need for further land clearing.
■ When cutting fuel wood or pulp wood
dont clear land, THIN YOUR TIM
BER. You thin your cotton and corn,
Why not your timber ? The same j
principle is involved. Average stands
of second growth pines snouid be j
’ thinned at about 15 years old, leaving,
' 1200 to 1400 trees per acre. At this !
’ | time from 8 to 12 cords of fuel wood
■ per acre could be cut. Further thin-,
' nings should be made each five years
thereafter, removing 200 to 300 trees
' each time. The second and third
. thinnings would make fuel wood, pulp
.! wood, fence posts (for creosoting), la
, j ter crops wiil make saw lumber, tele- 1
I phone poles, piling, etc.”
j “You will also note that more than'
I half of your pasture land is in woods J
I (22,291 acres). Trees and grass can’t
grow in the same place; they both!
require direct sunlight. I would sug- J
gest that you clear your pasture—
then take the cows out of the woods.
t The grass that grows in the shade has
i practically no food value. The cattle
; destroy the young trees, or children
■! of the forest. So, wi.y pasture wood
' land ?”
| “We are cutting and otherwise de-
I stroying the timber of the United
; States at the rate of 27,000,000,000
cubic feet per year, or four and one
half times as fast as it is growing.
We must do something if future gen
erations are to have timber for their
use. So, let’s prevent forest fires, and
grow timber as a crop. Then too, the
, farm forest is the best little Savings
Bank the farmed can have —yes, it 1
pays more than 4 percent interest.
Mr. Shiver is selecting several lo
cations in the county for starting
demonstrations -'n methods of forest
1 management. These demonstrations
will be started this fall and will be
located on the leading roads of the
county. Mr. Graeber will" return to
the county for several days to assist
Mr. Shiver in getting this work start
ed. Meetings of farmers will be held
' at each demonstration.

the Childrens’ Day exercises held
at Christian Chapel yesterday were
all that .could be desired, even by the
most fastidious. The children did
their parts unusually well, reflecting

the special feature of the day perhaps, I
although the short talks by different!

The ball game here Saturday with
the team from Bell’s was to say the
least exciting, and the general opinion
among the players and the specta
tors was that it was anything but a
clean, honest play. There is no sport
more wholesome nor more interesting
i than a fair, squarely played, game
lof ball. A game Where the players
lon both sides are interested in the
I sport itself and the highest score to
j be decided by the skill and dexterity
of each individual contestant. It is
not so much a question of winning
1 but of how the highest score is won.
The clean, sporting spirit of the team
is what counts and it is a pity to lose
sight of the fine, wholesomeness of
the game in the chief aim to make the
| highest score regardless of how it is
obtained. Eleven innings were play
: ed and the score stood 6-7.
The team from Bynum is scheduled
to be here next Saturday and every
j one is looking forward to an inter
esting afternoon. Members of the
C. E. Society will sell refreshments.

A NEW MOTOR OIL \
The Standard Oil Company Produces
an Oiler Oil—A New Principle of
Lubrication Established
One can hardly glance over the
Record this week and the following
weeks without being made aware that
the Standard Oil Company is offering
for sale an improved oil for motor
cars. The Standard is everlastingly
at work improving its products. It
spends bundles of money in investi
gation and experimentation, thorough
ly tests' its new products, and then
boldly spends mpney in advertising
them.
The Standard Oil Company worked
several years to perfect this new oil
but before offering it for sale gave
it a year’s test in its own cars. Pres
ident Teague, of the Standard, states
that the new oil brought an increase
in gas mileage as high as 12 percent
and'an increase in power of from 3
to 10 percent. In all the test, accord
ing to Mr. Teague, the motor ran
cooler with the new oil. .
According to Mr. Teagle, the new
“Standard” Motor Oil solves the prob
lem of spotty lubrication which has
baffled engineers ever since the per
fection of the internal combustion en
gine. It is an oil of greater oiliness,
and possesses many advantages over
the best of the old type oils.
“For years, engineers endeavored
to find an oil,” stated Mr. Teagle,
“that would cling to metal surfaces
so thoroughly as to abolish the areas
of partial lubrication—the dry spots
which permit the grinding of metal
upon metal, and which rusult in
scoring of cylinder walls, lead to di
lution and other factors destructive
to lubrication.”
The long-searched for solution of
the problem, according to President
Teagle, has been found, and the new
“Standard” Motor Oil is the answer.
It goes immediately upon sale.
