HEALTH CONDITIONS BELGIUM .BAD IN Poverty and a Poor Food Supply Responsible for Increase of Diseases A study of the health conditions in Belgium since that people has en dured the rigors of war and has suffered the privation of many of the necessities of life, has shown that poverty and a poor food supply are direct causes of disease and produc tive of a low state of health. This study made by Dr. W. P. Lucas of San Francisco and contained in the American Medical Journal relates the fact thttfie average person regis tering at the clinics is ten pounds under weight, while school children seem to have stopped growing on account of underweigth caused by undernutrition. Doctor Lucas reports that newly born babies are not of normal size or strength, that the average weight of newly born babies is about two thirds normal and the average one inch less in height. It is signifi cant that the mothers are not able to nurse their babies as long as for merly, nor is their milk as rich. But the darkest picture painted by Doctor Lucas relates to the increase of consumption in all parts of the kingdom. The report from Brussells indicates that consumption has about doubled in that city, while reports from the children's hospitals show that the disease is more than twice as prevalent in children as before the war. The report from the throat hospital is that tubercolosis of the throat has increased 150 per cent. Dr. Tieren of Antwerp reports that in his city cases of consumption have become more frequent and more ma lignant; cures are much harder to obtain and old cases apparently cured for five years or longer are reappearing in large numbers In Namur the consumption death rate has practically doubled. Poverty and a poor food supply resulting in undernutrition are given as the fundamental reasons for the bad health conditions that now ob tain in Belgium.

At all Druggists, 25c. Those who believe in the election of boards of county education by the people had their way in the Senate Thursday and three counties were given the privilege of electing their boards. These counties were Bertie, Franklin and Wayne. The first to get through was the Bertie bill for which Senator Burgwyn has made such a strenous fight for the past forty days. The second to get thru was that introduced by Senator Per son of Franklin, who used the calen dar for a cyclone cellar for the meas ure during the stormy period when the voting majority was against election. Wayne county was accord ed the privilege at the night's ses sion when the bill bill was intro duced by Senator Allen passed second and third reading without a hitch. An important" bill that got thru at night was that which provides for the creation of a board to put into effect a uniform system of ac counting for the State departments and the State institutions. Senator Davenport introduced a bill for the erection of a building for the Agricultural Department to cost not exceeding $200,000 on the site of the resent old dilapidated build ing.

They were asleep ; in the shanty when it caught fire and were strangled by the smoke. ... . ,J&: Pensions For Judges Killed The bill to provide for the retire ment and pension of Superior Court judges in certain cases failed to pass After being defeated the vote was reconsidered on motion of Senator Everett, but it again failed to pass. Senators, Turner, McNider and Mc Coin spoke against the bill and the policy of pensioning judges at this time. Senator Long, of Alamance, espoused the bill and made a strong plea for it. Only one judge' now off the bench would have to come under the provisions of the bill, this being Judge Cook. Senator Long paid a high tribute to Judge Cooke and in fact all the others who mentioned his name did the same thing. Senator Burnett offered an amendment mak ing the time on the bench 16 years instead of 10 years the provision for making such judge eligible to pension. MANY LIKE THIS IN ROXBORO Similar Cases Being Published Each Issue. In The following case is but one of many occuring daily in Roxboro. It is an easy matter to verify it. You cannot ask for better proof of merit. A. P. Simpson prop, of butcher shop, Court St., Roxboro, says: "I have taken Doan's Kidney Pills for backache and other kidney troubles and .have always found' them very beneficial. I recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable kid ney .medicine. When I get down with my back Doan's Kidney Pills soon relieve me." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Simpson uses. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. Plan for Commencement STATESVILLE. Plans are being made for the annual commencement of the Irdell county school. ' . Mr. Editor: After a long silence, I have con cluded to write you again, which yo$ may publish in the Courier, if you think is worth while. As my last letter was devoted mainly to the subject of manufactur ing and selling tobacco, I will con tinue in the same line and give my recollections of the origin 'and prog ress of the celebrated ; "Blackwell Durham Bull" brand of smoking to bacco, which was orignated by a Per son county man, Mr. J. Ruffus Green, of Woodsdale, this county. Some time about .1856 or 1857, Major Green father of Mr. Ruffin Green, a farm er, living near Woodsdale, sold his farm to Elder A. N. Hall, Primitive Baptist minister, a neighbor, and his pastor. Mr. Green expected soon to find another farm more to his liking but after looking over the country for sometime failed to do so, and be ing anxious to have his land back, called on Mr. Hall for this purpose, but as he needed the land himself, would not let him have it, this was a great disappointment to Mr. Green and upset him very much indeed, so after finding that he could not get back his land, he and his son, Ruf fin set out t find homes, and after looking around for sometime in this and other counties, they each bought farms about five miles from the then little station "Durham," of about 100 inhabitants, on the old N. C. Rail road in Orange county, and moved over there with their families and engaged in farming, but pretty soon Mr. Ruf fin Green decided to add a side line to his business. So he bought up a lot of leaf tobacco and beat it up in to a granulated shape (by hand at first) into smoking tobacco, and hauled it off in wagons to the eastern sections of the state, finding ready sale for it at good profit, soon made money with which to build a new framed resi dence and perhaps a small factory to run the business in, but just as the residence was about completed, it was consumed by a fire and without insur ance. Of course he felt that he was financially ruined, not knowing what next to do, but after considering the situation for a while, decided that he had right much hauling to do to the "Depot" it would be wise to buy land there and move his family and busi ness to it, land being cheap then, so he bought a tract of land (now in the middle of the city) and built a fac tory and comfortable residence on it near the railroad station, and con tinued the manufacturer cf smoking tobacco on a larger scale, giving it the name of "The Durham Bull" sxoking tobacco, and had tho brand patented or trade marked for his pro tection. He soon had by the increase of the output, a larger demand for his goods at a profit, carrying It on to and during the Civil War, and at its close the armies of Johnson and Sher man were both disbanded near Dur ham. The soldiers of both armies, North and South, it was said made de predations on the little factory, car rying off 'a large portion of the tobac-' co stored' in it, taking it home with them to smoke. Mr. Green felt that he was again ruined, but it proved to the contrary, as it turned out to be the best and cheapest advertisement he ever had, making the "Bull Brand" famous all over the country, North and South, bringing orders for it from every quarter, this building up a big trade on it, but not long after the close of the war, Mr. Green was stricken with a fatal disease, and died, his father, Mager Green, who' was still living, administered on the estate and after advertising the sale of the fac tory and fixtures with "The Bull standing by" for six months perhaps, in a Raleigh paper, he at last found purchasers for the plant, and sold it to W. T. Blackwell (Buck) and Jas. R. Day, Person county boys for a nominal sum which would seem small at the present day for the beginning of such an immense business as it has grown to be. I will state here that these young men had been already engaged in a small way, in the same business in Person county, but discontinued it at once after buying the "Bull" brand plant, and as money was exceedingly scarce and hard to procure it required some "Grit" to prompt them to under take to carry on this enterprise, but as I have stated, these young men having had some experience in this business, took over the plant, paid what they ould on it and borrowed money with which to push the busi ness, and did so with success. After a few years Gen. J. S. Carr, then a young man, bought an interest in the business and with the addition of his talents and energy, carried it on to greater success.. The location of this plant made it necessary to have a leaf tobacco mar ket in town, so Messrs Reames and Walker (Henry A. Reames and Alex. J druggists, 50c. Walker) of Person county opened up and conducted the tint' leaf ' tobacco warehouse ! in trie town. 4 This enter prise was needed to furnish tobacco for this plant, and made a permanent market for a large section of the fin est tobacco territory in the state. These enterprises with many others, soon caused people - to flock to Dur ham and engage in many other indus tries, merchandise, the various pro fessions, manufacturing tobacco in all shapes &c, giving the town a "Boom" which proved to be permanent, and is now one of the largest cities in our state, and perhaps the best known city of its size in the United States, or in the world. After some years, Mr. Day sold his interest in the "Bull" factory to Messrs Blackwell & Carr, his other two partners, who continued the busi ness, enlarging the plant and increas ing the out-put. After a few more years Col. Blackwell sold his inter est to Mr. McDowell, a capitalist of Philadelphia, for a big sum of money, the business being continued by Mess. Carr & .McDowell, until it was sold, or merged into the American Tobac co Company. v This is not written to "Boost" Dur ham for it needs no boosting by the writer (as it is able to stand alone), but simply to give the origin and rise of this world renowned brand of smoking tobacco ( and city of its lo cation) orignated and promoted by Person county men, it is evident that this city owes its existence and early growth in a very large measure, to the energy and "Pluck" of Messrs. Blackwell, Day and Carr, pioneers in the tobacco, and many other indus tries of this growing and enterpris ing city. If our little town of Rox boro had had a rail road at the close of the Civil War, I have no doubt but that this great factory would have been moved here, as Messrs Blackwell and Day were both Person county men, they naturally would have pre ferred to come to Roxboro right in the heart of a fine tobacco section. Growing just the grade of tobacco they wanted to make their brands with. In this event the slogan would now read: "Roxboro Renowned, The World Around." But as it is, we are not envious nor jealous in the matter, as we did not have the luck to get the prize, we are glad for Durham to have it. Your people have been our friends and neighbors all through these years, our good citizens have cast their lot with you, and helps to make the town, and you have helped them to "make good" so the account is bal anced up O. K., and we hope we shall always remain good friends and neighbors. Roxboro, N. C, February 15, 1917.

N. C. Jan. 27, 1917. I used 2917 bags of ZELL'S SPECIAL COMPOUND FOR TOBACCA on my farms last year and so far have sold about $60,000.00 worth of tobacco grown over it at prices which are highly pleasing. ZELL'S starts tobacco nicely and ripens it uniformly, producing a rich, waxy leaf which brings money. I will certainly use ZELL'S again this year J. M. GALLAWAY. r- Roxboro, N. C. January 31, 1917. I have been using Zell's Tobacco Fertilizers for. eight years and have never seen anything to beat them yet. I averaged $42.00 for. my crop of tobacco grown over ZELL'S this year on the Roxboro Market. ZELL'S makes rich, silky, bright wrappers which always weigh well. I had rather cure after Zell's than any other fertilizer on the market. I expect to use Zell's again this year because all my people are pleased with it. Yours truly, , WELDON G. CLAYTON Mebane,N. G. January 27th, 1917. I used fell's Special Compound for Tobacco 8-2-2 last year and made 826 lbs. of tobacco that brought me $2791.21. : f will use Zell's this year and reccommend. it highly. ZELL'S starts tobacco nicely, grows it smoothly and yellows it well. Tobacco grown over Zell's always brings a good price. Very truly yours, W. MARSHALL WARD. Hurdle Mills, N. C, February 14th, 1917. I used some ZELL'S SPECIAL COMPOUND FOR TOBACCO -2-2 last year along with a 9-3-1 Fertilizer made by a standard manufacturer, and considered popu lar in this section, the goods being distributed by , ma chinery the same amount per acre. Notwithstanding the fact that I used a light sprinkling-of stable manure with the 9-3-1 which I did not use with Zell's, and plant ed the tobacco over Zell's last, I was surprised to find with this disadvantage, that Zell's made the most tobacco and brought me the most money.
