Monday, March 22, 1926 ----- - i ’“ | What Foods Are Cheapest Regulation of the fooc/>udget of the home requires fa.liliarity with current food prices. Food values also enter into this question. What type of foods yield the most nu triment for the least money, and at the same time appeal to the family taste? These things merit study and obser vation. Careful consideration of food advertisements is perhaps one of the best methods of becoming posted on the subject in general. Advertising is an important factor in modem life. Everything we are likely to need, from the cradle to the grave, is persistently called to our attention. No matter where we go, we cannot escape being told what is good for us, nor reminded of the things that make life worth living— and how cheaply we can get them. This is direct advertising. And equally effective, sometimes, is indi rect advertising. Just now, the food packers of America are involuntarily doing this indirect advertising on very large scale, because of the ex ceedingly large food pack of last year. Carried foods are now being sold at remarkably low prices. This is not done with the specific purpose of advertising, but rather for the sake of marketing surplus stock. Last summer, there were unusually large crops of practically all the staple vegetables. In consequence the can ners worked over-timfc, packing a tremendous quantity of these foods. To get a quick market for the supply on hand, they have adopted the plan Palm " Beach Season Forecasts Summer Fashions In Men’s and Women’s Footwear - KIDSKIN AND LIGHTER LEATHERS DOMINATE STYLES ' " L OF SUMMER-WEIGHT SHOES By Clarissa Howe Taylor The Sdtlinem season has always! been of vital Importance In the! fashion world, for it is during thisj Short but smart mid-winter season tn the South that the stamp of ap proval or the ban of exclusion is branded upon our ensuing styles. Judging from the shop displays and the smart gatherings of people throughout the day. shoes are re ceiving more careful consideration tn relation to the costume than any Other single accessory. Perhaps it Is because women have become so Imbued with the idea that if the Shoes do not, go with the dress, then the dress is a failure. At any L#ate, this discriminating attention ; has become contagious and we r> v I find that men are selecting their [ shoes, not only with an Idea to ap- Troprlateness forsthe occasion, but Ith the consideration of comfort, good sense, and appearance. The most startling Introduction In the footwear world is In men’s shoes. Heretofore, they have been forced to wear the same type of shoe the year around. On May 15th they have always donned the straw hats and light-weight suits, but no heed was given to footwear. Now, however, the seasonal change will be complete, for the Importance of ■ light-weight footwear has been i JSui'lnsr Jhe day. for Hoilt t TIMES AND TRIBUNE PENNY AOS. ALWAYS GET RESULTS of selling them at exceedingly' low prices. In so doing, they have in directly entered upon one of the most extensive advertising campaigns ever undertaken by them.. It is a campaign of education, Vast numbers oi people, taking advantage of gjsis great price-reduction, arc learning the convenience, economy and excellence of ready-to-serve foods. In other words, they are being edu cated to eat more of them, in prefer ence to the more expensive and less easily obtained fresh foods —so-called. For instance, those who have used a dozen cans of com, this year, will buy two dozen next year. And so it will be with all kinds of canned foods. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.’’ Ready-to-serve foods have advertised themselves for all time. In figuring the comparative cost of fresh and canned foods, the season of the year must he taken into account. In all save the extreme southern and south-westem sections of the United States, fresh foods have to be carried a long distance in the winter months. Consequently, high prices must neces sarily be charged for them. At this season, therefore, the economy of pre pared foods is unquestionable. This economy, however, lies not alone in the low price, but in the value obtained from the canned prod ucts, as compared with that obtained from fresh foods. In the first place, fresh foods brought from a distance, and passing through innumerable | hands en route, have lost the quality street and business wear, men are I adopting light-weight oxfords of either black kid or a new shade called rugby tan kid. These ox fords are very much lighter, both in appearance and actual construc tion. than the brogues which were formerly worn. The upper stock or body of the shoe Is of extremely light-weight kid yet it is firm enough to reel it hard wear and I stretching, while the very much lighter solo fulfills its purpose of utility, adds materially to the sum mer comfort of the wearer, and equals the durability of the heavier shoe. Although women are wearing all sorts of fanciful evening slippers— the newest in hand-painted or enameled kidskln, men have been timing to make theirs less conspic uous if possible and the last detail to be eliminated is the high gloss or polish. The. smartest evening oxfords for men are now made in a dull finish of black kid and they insist that these are far more com fortable than the stiff heavily dressed leathers. Regardless of the delicacy of shading, nothing quite takes the place of white kid, particularly for sport wear. Ever since the famous English oxfords Invaded aur tarri te-v th*v !.•«. worn In ■ of “freshness” by the time the con sumer gets them. They arc there fore not worth their high p-icc. The prepared foods* cn the contrary, wei •; canned while absolutely lrcsh, and their valuable properties have all been retained in the air-tight cm. Second ly, there is no waste to be eliminated from the ready-to-serve foods, where as much must be removed from fresh foods before they are ready for cook ing or serving. Another economical feature of can ned foods is the fact that many stores have frequent “special sales” of two cans for 25 cents, three for 29 cents, etcetera. As these prepared foods keep indefinitely,, the consumer is not afraid to stock up with them and thus reap the benefit of the lower prices; in addition, gaining the con venience of having a variety always on hand, ready to serve at a moment's notice. In reducing their surplus stpek by reducing their prices, the American food-packers are really “casting their bread upon the waters.” It will re turn to them, not only in enormously increased future sales, but in a strengthened confidence on the part of the public. For there is a rapidly spreading realization of the fact that nowhere are the laws of hygiene and sanitation more rigidly observed and enforced, today, than in the commer cial preparation of the world's foods. And when to this is added the further advantage of economy, the consume | is not slow to respond. variety of adaptations. Beclmss white kid is so refreshing in ap. pearance and equally cool and com fortable on the foot, sensible men are taking advantage of the recent style innovation which providel these comforts and they are wear ing white kid oxfords combined with a trimming of either black or brown kid. Frequently women are seen wearing a diminutive copy of these oxfords with the addition of an alarmingly high spike heel and of course the oxford with th« interesting criss-cross lacing ar. rangement continues in its place of high favor. For street wear one may select from a variety of patterns tn col ored kidskin, either matched to the ensemble of spring tones or in one of those delicate neutral shades which is a complement to any cos tume color. The popular beige of last season forms the foundation for a score or more of new shades in kid known as parchment, sau» terne, bols de rose, faun, cham pagne, peach, and blondine. In addition to light grey, these ar4 not only the colors decreed for spring, but kidskin Is the medium of ex pression for all that is smart in footwear.

('. A. SHORE. M. n. Director Slate Laborer ry of Hy-j giene. (An address delivered before the; annual session of the Tri-Stnm Med ical Srcietv. Fayetteville. N. C.) My subject is (-Meson r.rt because the disease of rabies is one of our greatest problems, nor because 1 1 have new facts ti present, hut be- ■ cause it is the one disea -e which, nt j the present time, con'd actually be, exterminated if we would but apply ! the knowledge we posess We know the. germ which causes it. we know j the way in wliufi il is conveyed from animal to animal or from animal to man, we know the behavior of the ci-nn in the body and the explana tion cf the peculiar symptoms, wc know how to give protection, and above all we know how it may be eradicated. Rabies is one of the oldest of rec ognized diseases; its peculiar symp toms and the inevitably fatal outcome have always made a powerful impres sion on the human imagination. Med ical literature on the subject extends well beyond tile Christian era and in general literature there are many ref erences in ancient writings. There is an excellent description written by Apuleitis in the second century in his Metamorphosis, and there arc said to be references in Horace, Virgil, Ovid and Plutarch. This ancient history is exceptional, for the great scourges of the human race, like tu berculosis. bubonic plague, and influ enza, if mentioned at all. can be rec ognized only with difficulty. During the hundreds of years in which rabies was recognized as a sep arate entity, a great mass of super stition had collected around it and remnants of this ignorance still re main in t’he popular mind. We all know persons who believe that a dog’s bite is dangerous only in that season of the year when Sirius, the Dog Star, is in the ascendant. I have not seen a “mad-stone” ill several years, but formerly I have been per mitted to examine fragments of pum ice stone, several pebbles and one bit cf pottery from a broken domestic vessl all of which were treasured for their curative powers. One ancient therapeutic belief alone stands the test of modern experimental proof ; that is the value of cauterization. If done early this is still good prac tice although nitric acid is substitut ed for tile red hot metal. 1 111 common with most other dis eases. accurate scientific knowledge begins with the time of Pasteur. Pasteur never succeeded in finding the infecting agent—this was reserved for Negri—but he did begin scientic study of the’ disease and found an ef ficient prophylaxis which saves about 09 per cent of exposed persons. Briefly, this is a vaccine made from the spinal cords of rabbits which have been infected with a very rapid form of the disease. The cords are attenuated by drying and by passage through many generations of rabbit's. The history of the trial of this vac cine, by Pasteur, forms one of the most dramatic chapters in the history of medicine. The vaccine is still used with only slight modifications. In North Carolina we use the original Pasteur strain of virus and the chief nicClificatiion js a somewhat larger number of injections. The germ of rabies discovered by Negri, is generally believed to be a Protozoan. The examination of a rabid animal can be made rapidly by staining a smear-preparation of a small portion of brain tissue and the round or oval organism shows plain ly and distinctly in the nerve cells. A brain which contains these organ isms will invariably reproduce the disease if a portion of it is injected into another animal. On entering the body, the genn causes no inflam mation and so far as we know it is not carried by the blood stream, but it does find a small nerve tissue and travels through the body in nerve tis sue. It apparently at once begins to multiply in this tissue but causes no symptoms until it reaches the brain whore it enters and destroys the nerve cells. It may have taken weeks or months to reach the brain, but once entrenched there the final course is extraordinarily rapid and the fatal outcome invariable. The symptoms of madness and paralysis, so apparent ly variable and inexplicable to the unenlightened mind, have the simpll'st explanation that they depend upon the destruction of nerve cells. The’infection not only goes to the brain but also to certain secretory glands, notably the salivary glands, and the infection is excreted in the saliva. It is by means of the in oculation with infectious saliva, that is by biting, that the disease is spread from animal to animal or from animal to man. All mamals, includ ing man, are susceptible. The dog is no more suspectible than is the sheep, or the cow or man. but the dog and his relatives, the fox and the wolf, when their brains are diseased commonly exhibit the in stinct of biting. The cat only occa sionaly shows this symptom, as does the horse. The rabid cow may be just as belligerent as the dog, but her instinct is to hook or butt, rath er than to bite. Other animals ex hibit varying symptoms of a diseased brain, but it is seldom that they want to bite. The problem of the spread of ra bies is therefore almost wholly con fined to the dog and it is just this animal which has easiest access to human beings. If we could prevent rabid (logs .from biting other dogs and other animals we could eradicate the disease. The statement just made is not based on theory alone. Rabies has actually been exterminated in Den mark, Norway and Sweden for 30 years. Before the war it was un known in Germany except along the borders, and in England .there was no rabies for over twenty years until reintroduced by returning soldiers who brought back infected dogs from France. It has now again been erad icated in England. In Australia there has never been Jt case of ra bies, for that continent has always had a quarantine law for dogs aud each animnl is confined at the port of entry for six months before it can be delivered t:> the owner. The contrast of, these countries j with i*ie United States is not to our ! credit. Here only sporadic and in j effectual attempts nt control have j over been made, and for the last de j caflc the disease lias been on the in crease in the greeter part cf our : country. This is epeciaily true for our own section. The states with the j worst records are XorCi) Carolina, i South Carolina. Ge rgia, Florida. A | abama and Mississippi. Virginia's . revv r:l is o nsiderab’e better than that |of North Carolina and South Caro | linn, and Georgia’s is a trifle worse. ' The increase in North Carolina j may he illustrated by a comparison ! of flic record of 1!)0D (the first year ■j of e*.unvote statistics) with that of 102.1. Jn 1000 there were 83 rabid animal; examined at fie state labo ratory of hygiens. in 1025, 813 It 100!). 157 persons were treated for bites of rabid animals, in 1025. 1,850 The inter roving years show an in crease with almost annual regular ity. Last year wo had four, possibly five, human deaths from rabies in North Car Jinn. This number is in significant if compared with the deaths from tuberculosis, but if it is true flat each should have, and could have, been prevented, they arc not a credit to our civilization. We must also charge against this dis ease an enormous loss of cattle, hogs, sheen and horses, but no accurate statistics are kept of these deaths. In the far west, rabies has been com para tivly rare until within t’he last few years. In a stock-raising country, the predatory dog is never shown much mercy, but with the de cline of stock-raising on the unlimited range, dogs have increased. Tn the Reeky Mountain section the disease is now said to be prevalent among the svi'd coyotes and rabies will probnb 1 } exist in that region until t’hese wild animals are exterminated. We have seen that certain Euro pean countries have been freed from rabies and we find that this was ac comp islied in each case by prevent ing the dog from running at large This is a very simple procedure the retica'ly. but we must admit that it would be difficult of application ir our town states. Sooner or later •however, we must come to it. and since the problem is rather one cf edu cation and legislation than of medi cine, it is important that information should be broadcast in every justi fiable way. The public must be in ' formed as well as the medical profes sion. The extermination of rabies does noL mean the extermination of the dog. There Is n > country on earth w'.iere the dog is held in so high es teem as in England, and no other country where the pack of hounds b sych an institution. In that countr> % restriction of dogs is just nr popular as a means of protection for the dog« themselves as it is for the protection cf farm animals and for man. Tn the South t’lie dog lover consti tutes a large percentage of our popu lation, but too often he presents the truth that rabies is primarily and solely a problm of the dog. With more complete knowledge the owner of a valuable dog would be the first to advocate complete protection. Up to this time, however, file dog own or’ and stock-raiser have shown little interest in North Carolina at lea«st, is the only known effectual method of controlling rabies. On the other hand they appear eager to try the 'lmlf-ef fepfive method of dog vaccination. The only country * which has tried this seriously is Japan, and the first reports, before practical application was attempted, were certainly eneour- mUer’s Antiseptic Oil, Known so Will Positively Relieve Pain In a Few Minutes.

So far as my knowledge goes there' is only one disease which has ever, been wiped off the face dfthe earth,, and that disease was one which was not known to attack man. It was a certain infectious pneumonia of cattle which was prevalent in Texas ! some thirty years ago. Theobald Smith, then ill the government serv ice, found the cause of the infection and succeeded in actually stamping PAGE THREE which has sprung the appelation Happy Valley.
