THE CASE OF THE ITCHING NOSE
It has always been a profound mystery to us why our
nose starts itching the moment we get to the place where
we can't scratch it.
We suppose, although we can't say for sure, that your
nose does the same thing. If not, then you should have it
overhauled, for something is probably the matter with it.
Our nose does its most ambitious itching when we are in
the darkroom developing roll film. In this procedure it is
necessary to hold the ends of the"
ufilm in either hand, and once this
is done it's a signal to the nose
m to start itching full force.
Of course it's possible to
scratch even with the film in
your hands, but being wet with
chemicals as they are, the scratch
proves very ineffective. Too, one
usually gets enough chemical on
the nose to form several drops
which start trickling down the
lower part of the face, thus open
ing up an entirely new territory
of itching.

There are several types of nose
itching, but ours always turns out
to be the super de luxe type. We
could manage to get along very
well during the length of time it
takes to develop a film without
scratching if our nose went in for
an ordinary tickle-itch, but it be
lieves in doing things in a big
way and as a result must have
immediate attention.
Although we haven't gotten all
the details worked out as yet, we
are working on an automatic
nose scratcher guaranteed to go
into action of its own accord.
This device will be adjustable
and will fit any type nose, al
though the pug model will come
slightly higher than the Roman
style, due to a number of techni
calities.
This automatic nose scratcher
will include all the good points of
a windshield wiper, a potato
grater and egg beater. The egg
beater model is for the pug type
of nose, while the windshield
wiper style is designed especially
for long noses. We will have to
be equipped with the windshield
style.
Keep an eye out for further
announcements concerning the
Browning Super De Luxe Nose
Scratcher.

THIS AND THAT
Our Uncle Culpepper is not a
preacher.
If he had been, he would never
call on anyone to pass the collec
tion plate. He'd do it himself.
"Never have anyone do unto
others if it's possible for you to
do them yourself," is his motto.
Not that we'd have you believe
Uncle Culpepper is a sinful man.

THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
Whenever there Is an all-day
service at his church, he's al
ways the first man there—at the
dinner table.
And whenever he passes down
a picnic table, seven lean years
follow for those behind.
He is careful to see that no one
is in front.
He used to embarrass Aunt
Frousy terribly at those Sunday
doings. Not that she minded his
eating so much, but because he
always got choked on the paper
plates.
When he was operated upon
several years ago, not only did
the surgeon get out the appendix,
but also a half dozen spoons and
a salt shaker.
Have you any uncles like that?

We've had several comments on
the front page presented by The
Tribune last week. Most of them
were favorable. We're still work
ing.
The boss didn't send out after
a bouquet of roses, but as we said
before, we're still working. How
ever, he is still rather weak.
Personally, from a viewpoint of
appearance, we weren't over en
thused. It throws the page just
a little off balance. We did like
the way we were able to group
the news under the various head
ings.
With a very slight change in
measure (as if that means any
thing to you), the front con
tinues the idea this week. But
we've got another idea in mind
which we want to try out if our
job holds out.
Good day.
The Nose
Unquestionably the nose is the
most essential portion of the hu
man face. Primitive man rec
ognized this and for that reason
it was a common custom among
them to decorate the nose with
rings, of bone, metal, or pieces of
carved wood. Others tattooed
the nose, believing that by so do
ing they added to their beauty.
In the backwoods of Peru I
once met an Indian chief of a
cannibal tribe, who had two large
irregular emeralds set on either
side of his nostrils, the flesh
holding the jewels in place, and
he was inordniately proud of his
ingenuity in thus placing the
gems so that they might properly
impress those whom he met.
In Africa and Australia the
nose is often the background for
elaborate designs which are ac
tually cicatrized on the skin so
that they stand out in bold re
lief.
A well known and wealthy
Hindu ruler, for whom I once was
physician, had the noses of all
the ladies of his harem covered
with rings containing precious
stones, which were held in place
by slits through their nostrils.
The interior of the nose is a
network of bones covered with
thick mucous membrane, con
stantly moistened so that the air
inhaled through the nostrils is
both warmed and atonized, be
fore entering the lungs, thus pre
venting shock to the delicate and
sensitive lung tissue.
In other words your nose is one
of your health guardians and
certainly a sort of policeman who
watches night and day over you
and keeps you protected against
colds. Through its rare ability
to smell the nose is in addition a
safeguard against dangers such
as fire, escaping gas, unhealthy
surroundings, unsanitary odors,
and other equally perilous condi
tions.
Furthermore the mucous mem
brane of the nostrils acts as a
sort of trap to catch and prevent
germs from gaining further en
trance into the body. Often na
ture positively increases this sup
ply of mucous for the express
purpose of ridding the nostrils of
the offending germs.
If you notice that your nose is
becoming dry, and that the pro
tective mucous membrane is un
able to eliminate as it should, it is
almost certain that sooner or
later the same condition will pro
gress to the throat and then one
may expect a cold.
This act on the part of the
nose is one of the simple danger
signals which Dame Nature
throws out, warning us to be on
our guard and the chances are
that if one watches his nose and
how it acts, he need fear no
further infection of throat, ton
sils or lungs. Do not forget that
your nose is the sentinel guard
ing your inner body from un
welcome and hostile invaders, so
keep it clean and treat it well.
