Running for Governor strikes us as being about as strenuous as running a daily newspaper. There are als.o signs of spring in the advertising columns of your daily newspaper. Groundhog or no, we saw a fishworm sunning himself alongside the sidewalk after the rain Wednesday morning. It is not always the most guilty who pay the penalty for their sins in the courts. Cut eventually all pay ? somewhere and somehow ? in full. ) Revolution seems to be the thing that England does best. She has ever been about the only country that could put on a revolution without bloodshed. If McAdoo won't do, Democ racy might go farther and do worse tftan call out Josephus Daniels as the National stand ard bearer of the party. Elizabeth City simply has to I have a Chamber of Commerce of one sort or another. If you think we should have a better one, join it and be one to help make it so. The Advance is mightily afraid that if Camden doesn't get together on a road, all of tho State's monay for highways i.i going to be spent elsewhere in this district. 1 ? We gather that the Raleigh Times is not over-enthusiastic for McAdoo as the Democratic nominee for the Presidency. Well, does the Times want Jo sephus Daniels? The Advance is happy to join th^ "First & Citizens National] Bank in recommending the pur-l chase of Albemarle Building & Loan shares of the new series opening March 1. The most comprehensive and illuminating presentation, as well as the first complete sur vey, of the Sinclair and Doheny oil scandals that we have seen is that by John W. Nevin in Wednesday's issue of our favor ite Associated Press newspaper. One reason we like to run a daily newspaper is that we've got to get to work on the next issue as soon as today's is o" the press. We repent of our mistakes and try to make to morrow's issue the better for them. But we are too busy to worry about them, generally speaking. PBRSQNA1S Mr. and Mrs. J. F.

Address Dr. W illiam llrady, in care of this news|ia|K>r. Froathite. There is si h much misunderstand- j Ing about the management of frost-; bite as there is about the signifl cance of the stain or discoloration i of the skin by jewelry. A reader sent me the formal pronouncement of ai physician who opined that the stain' from some gold jewelry signified a] dirty skin and the remedy was more j time and effort in the bath tub. Hut nny school boy who has stu-] died a little chemistry ? and every school boy ought to study chemistry ? knows how ridiculous the doctor's notion is, for some of the best go'd will discolor or stain the skin of our very best people, if the gold alloy happens to contain some silver, say, which reacts with the sulphur com pounds In the skin oil or sweat of a healthy individual to form silver sul phld. That's what happens to silver tarnished by egg yolk. More need of a little chemistry in the common school course. More need of a little physiology there, too. to neutralize the flshiology which the layman l?s crammed down his throat on al> oc casions. I'm warming up for the proper first all management of a case of frostbite. Let's play you've coddled yourself along for years until you're pretty soft, and now being caught i outdoors without your complete heating apparatus on a snnppy day you've frozen your cheek or your ear. It first tingled with the cold, then It grew numb, and sonn body noticed how blanched and white it looked. The traditional or almost j classical thing to do. of coiivm*, is t? rub It like everything with snow. Out let's suppose It Is such a mild winter that there is no sno v l.audy. Wouldn't that be a dreadful predi cament. indeed? Traditionally, yes. 1 suppose It would, but practically it would be all right. No snow Is nec essary. No cold Is necessary. Just use some petroleum Jelly or cold jcream or sweet oil or anything that will nerve as a simple lubricant, anfl Kently knead and mrtssane the ear or cheek until the blanching disap pears and ? then quit and call it a day, for you've done quite enough and If you rub Just a little too much you'll cause more trouble than yott're aiming to prevent. As for the use of cold in tne re lief of frostbite, there Is absolutely nothing but tradition to support thai Idea. Perhaps It grew out of the observation that a little too moth vigor In the way of treatment often seemed to bring on Inflammation or something. That la the danger of overdoing the thing ? abrasion of the akin and Infection and a subsequent wi 1 1 i mail in Inflammatory reaction. The 'first rule in tb<? first aid for frostbite is, don't get excited. Keep cool ? but don't freexe to death, for there is no advantage in overdoing! i the thing In that direction either. | Ql'KSTIOXN AND AN8WKIW. Sage Advice.
