TMtV DOCTOR tyWEAKWfWWMn ECCENTRICITIES The minds of the majority of the human family are a mixture of superstitions, erratic beliefs and morbid fears. Little minds are deeply concerned by trifling things, while great minds seo all things, and are not even sur prised. Most cases of eccentric minds result from mental dis turbances for examination of the victims give no definite physical signs or characteristics of altered or abnormal conditions. Such people imagine they have pains in organs which are proven ab solutely sound, or they assume they cannot walk and remain bed-ridden for years or a life time. Usually all these imagina tive or sick fantasies may be grouped under the name of hysteria. There is also another type of case which canot be so classified from a medical standpoint and which was relatively common in the Middle Ages and at the be ginning of the last century, but which today is seldom met with, due to our advanced learning. The Flagellantes, who upset much of Europe during the 14th century, is an outstanding ex ample of this latter class which became so fanatical and violent that it was ultimately disbanded by the Church. The number of followers that such hysterical leaders have is beyond belief. The best illustration is that of the Greek Emperor Anaxagoras, who believed his aunts had turn ed into cows and lived by eating only grass. This strange thought became epidemic in his empire and practically all the women took to bellowing like cows and eating grass. It took years for them to become normal again. A remarkable case in medical literature is that of an ancient titled dame who imagined she was a hen and spent hours daily sitting on a nest in a wash bas ket, trying to hatch chiokens from three balls of Holland cheese. In Geneva, a woman who profitably operated a ladies' tail oring shop during the day, changed her entire demeanor, fa cial expression and actions after closing her store and became Marie Antoinette, observing even the smallest detail of that royal lady's behavior, having for her court of admiring attendants erratic friends who also believed her the former queen. When morning came she returned to work, a perfectly balanced busi ness woman. I had a patient, a young man of 26 years, who Imagined him self the son of the Sun. He wrote many books, using a language he devised, the words being formed of a marvelous type of heiro glyphics, each letter of which was a masterpiece of art. At sunrise, at noon, and at sunset, he stood facing the sun, reading in his pe culiar jargon from one of these books and going through a series of genuflections. On all other subjects he was absolutely nor mal. He even accumulated a for tune in the stock market. Sometimes it Is possible to cure these patients by suggestion, but many cases persist in their erratic belief, and behavior until death relieves them of their worries. There are 69,300 beauty shops in the U. S. doing an annual business of $300,000,000. —gfa— NOTICE!] I No bills for purchases of materials for county school purposes will be honored until they are made on a county purchase order, signed by the Superintendent of Schools and approved by the County Purchasing Agent, Mr. B. F. Folger. * • Signed: JOHN W. COMER, I Supt. Surry County Schools I LESS POUNDS TO ACRE IN WEED Continuous Rains Hampering Farmers in Gathering Tobacco Crop 35 PER CENT. UNDER 1939 Although the 1940 tobacco crop in surry county, and throughout this section, was moving rapidly into the barns last week, the con tinuous rains which have fallen this week have hampered farmers in their preparations to cure the weed. The crop this year will fall far below the unusually large crop of last year in poundage, according to estimates which have been made Jay warehousemen and lead ing farmers of the section. Some have estimated that the crop will be off as much as 35 per cent, from last year. Two reasons are given for this radical reduction in poundage. In the first place, the acreage in Surry county was cut approxi mately 20 per cent, this year, with County Farm Agent R. R. Smith wick stating that the county has less than 12,000 acres of tobacco planted. A second reason given by growers and warehousmen is that the 1940 crop is not going to yield as much poundage to the acre as did last year's crop. One of the best germ killers (external) is common laundry soap. Tailoring Dress Making AD Kinds of Sewing Mrs. C. W. Laffoon Phone 249-W Elk Spar St. PAINTS I Elkin Lbr. & Mfg. Co. I .
