Dr. Pierce, who since the death of
Dr. Upchurch, has been located in
New Hope township, goes this week
to become physician, the only one,
on Ocracoke Island. He will receive a
salary from the United States govern
ment as physician to the life saving
crews and other government em
ployes and will serve the inhabitants
of the island in private practice.
Ocracoke has been for quite awhile,
we believe, without a physician at all.
It is a safe proposition to trade I
with ttie merchants who advertise in
the Chatham Record. They tell you
their prices and invite your inspec
tion of the goods. They advertise in
order to do more business and the
more business they de the cheaper
they can sell ,you goods. Make it a
rule .to trade with our advertisers if
you wish to help the Record and to
see Pittsboro become the trade cen
ter of the county.
Mrs. A. H. London, president of
the Pittsboro Wonman’s Club, an
nounce that the club will hold its
annual meeting next Wednesday
afternoon. It was deemed better to
postpone the meeting from the first
Wednesday in-January, which was
New Year’s Day till the date men
tioned.
Yon are invited out to attend the
Pittsboro Sunday school next Sunday.
Mr. Morgan and Miss Beck, who are
here this week cooperating with the
Sunday school forces of the church,
will be there. New classes will prob-'
ably be organized that day and plans
for the year put into motion.
We don’t want anyone to have the
Record who does not want it, or does
not expect to pay for it, except such
as know that it is being sent to them
complimentarily. However, we find
it impracticable, these hard times, to
keep strictly upon a cash basis and
want to send the paper on to those
good citizens who desire it and leave
it to their convenience to pay. But
we want nobody to be little enough to
take the paper for a year and then
refuse to pay for it, when all one
has to do to stop it is to leave it in
the mail box or tell postmaster or
mail carrier. That is little and mean,
and no self-respecting person can af
ford to do that way. We know that
the most of our subscribers want to
continue the paper and we are glad
to favor them till it is more con
venient for them to pay. But it is a
shabby shoat who will take advantage
of the circumstances tp take the pa
per and then refuse -thu pay for it.
Mark on it “Refused”, if you don’t
want it, and leave it. ip your box.
Otherwise, if you take, and use it,
you are expected to pay for it when
you can. Those who can pay prompt
ly should do so in order that we may
the more easily carry our friends who
are hard up.

To the Editor; • * ■ •
Pretty near every place you go now
days where they’s a mixed gathering,
the people that ain't talking about
Mr. Coolidge's coat is disgusting their
diet and how to get fat or thin es
pecially the last named and whenever
you walk in anywlieies where the host
ess don’t expect no Co. you generally
always can find a book on the live
ing rm. table on how to get skinny
and etc. so it seems like this is the
most important problem outside the
Yap questions, and the women folks
is all spending hundreds of dollars
on books that will learn them bow to
not look much like a group.
Obesity begins at home like every
thing else and what 1 am getting at
is that the only people who can learn
you how to reduce or build up is peo
ple that did it themseifs and is normal
and can tell you what they done to
get that way. Like lor inst. you would
not go to Babe liuth for beauty bints
like no more than you would ask Lil
lian Gish which cheek to park your
tobacco In vs. a left hander.
Well, friends, 1 don’t like ta brag,
but it looks like they wasn’t nobody
better fitted to give advice on the fat
and lean question than the undersigned
and if 1 can be of any assistance to
my friends that is worried about their
weigts why I’ll overlook, my prejudice
in regards to bareing secrets of my
private life and sacrifice myself on the
altar of pro bono publice.
Lest there be anj doubts as to my
qualifications along these lines, why
here's the figures by which a person
finds out how much they should ought
to weigh according to their higrh.
Multiply the number of inches you are
over 5 ft. tall by fiVfc and then add
that to 110. Well friends 1 am 13V£
inches over 5 ft. tall and multiply
13% by and you get and
w hen you add that on to 110 it makes
avordupois which is exactly
where I tip (he old beam. In other
words my weigt is ideal like pretty
near everything else.
"Bow tlpes the boy do U,” you ask.
"Well, friends, I am going to lay
all my cards on the table and tell
you the system 1 generally always
follow in regards to diet and exercise
and if my 'fat and skinny friends
will also try and follow out a similar
program, 1 don’t see why not they
shouldn't also get to be perfect.
First we will take eating. 1 gen
erally always eat In a rm. where they’s
a riot. 1 try and get to meals on
time as 1 prefer my own napkin. 1
•always set In a straight back chair
and face east. I uever talk at meals
as when I talk l like to he heard.
I never accept no invitations to meals
at nobody’s house unless 1 already
been there and know that mine host
is a good provider.
Now in regards to exercises, I never
let nobody feed me and I always
dress and undress myself. 1 always
shave standing up. Shaveing three
or four times per week is enough to
keep the jowls supple, but if 1 find
I’m a couple oz. overweigt I shave
every day and reduce the flesh on the
neck. In brushing the hair I can also
generally manage to lose a little.
When the door tell rings 1 always
walk, not run, to the nearest exit.
In the morning i always snatch
the paper to quicken the eye. I held
it myself and turn the pages myself.
When I see that my thumbs is getting
too fat I roll my own cigarettes and
I always smoke plenty of them as
they’s no exercise that brings more
muscles into play than coughing and
tossing in bed.
I always wash in.v hands before re
tiring and my face when necessary,
though one of my friends says it is
silly to wash your face when you go
to bed as they won’t nobody be likely
to see if its dirty or clean and it’s
just as foolish to wash it when you
get up as you ain’t been anywheres
to get it soiled. But do it 2 or 3
times per wk. anyway to reduce the
soap.
Batlieing as exercise depends on what
kind of a tub you got. The madam
picked mine out and bought it by the
front ft. and I guess we mus. have
been pretty near Broke at the time.
Anyway when I have took a bath I
generally always feel like challenging
Tunney.
I go to bed pretty near every night
at 9 or 10 o’clock but once in a while
somebody comes in to play cards and
I take setting up exercises. I generally
manage to lose a little this way.
But if a person really wants to
Hmit their diet I don’t know of any
better scheme than to buy a car or
take up golf. In a short while you
W on’t be ordering no where® near as
much grocerys or If you do the gro
cery won’t send them. But asyfor
golf Itself making a person thin or fat
It depends on whs you are playing
with. Most of tbs b<*» I Pl*y
Is so rapped tip to ftllhfown game
that I can gensrhlly take off a couple
of strokes.
