Pittsboro Has the Only Real Mov
ing Woman in the United States.
Pittsboro has the greatest woman
mover, and shaker in the United
States. I am not telling who she is
but, man, she is a mover from your
heart*
She actually moves things about
the house so much that the tables
and chairs begin to rattle and move
about when she comes around.
You have all heard of the story
of the man out west who moved so
much that i whenever his chick
ens saw;> a covered wagon coming
down the road they would turn over
on their backs and wait for their
leg’s to be tied. Those chickens
were not a circumstance.
This lady’s husband goes home
sometimes and finds his only bed up
stairs. Next night it would be down
stairs and probably the moving wife
w'ould use the upstairs room for a
cook room or dining room.
The woman’s husband began to get
nervous and no wonder.
He would ask his wife what made
the fuss in the next room and eue’d
say “Nothing.” I went into»that room
a few minutes ago and the chairs
began to move around and they just
have not stopped Jet. I guess they
thought I was going to move them
into another room.”
You may think I am lying, but I
saw her start towards the broom the
other day and the broom met her
half way.
When I am eating my and
she is sitting at the table, I have
to put weights on my dishes to hold
them down.
There is one good thing about this
moving woman and that is, when the
weather is hot, the thermometer in
the nineties, this woman can go out
and lean up against a tree and in
a few minutes you can get the finest
breeze ever.
In the winter time I have known
her to start walking after a snow had
fallen and by the time she struck
the ground the snow in front of her
\vould begin to shake and move away.
I don’t know what would become
of her if she was to have a hard chill.
I guess she would shake so hard the
chill would get so disgusted and quit
her.
If she could wrap her arms around
the democratic, republican and other
parties for a few minutes there would
not be left anything but an odor of
politics.
And yet she is a fine old lady,
kind affectionate but shaky. That's
because she moves so much. She
dare take an infant in her arms
for fear she’d shake the life out of it.
I am not going to tell you her
name, but if you will send $1.50 to
The Record for one year the paper
will be sent you, also her picture.

I DR. K» GREEN A
X Editor of “HEALTH" £
WHAT would you think of a man
who carried day and night, wher
ever he went, a 50-pound burden on
his back? You’d say he was crazy and
you’d probably be right. It’s all well
enough for Christian In "Pilgrim’s Prog
ress” or for fanatics in India or China,
but no common-sense American would
do such a foolish thing.
Hold on, though!
How about that 50 pounds of surplus
fat you’re carrying? Is that any more
sensible?
What’s the difference, whether the
burden Is on your back or under your
skin? It’s an unnecessary burden Just
the same.
You wouldn’t bet on a fat prize
fighter, or put your money on a fat
race horse, would you? You’d know
they weren’t "In condition” and that
if you backed them you’d lose. •
If you carry surplus and unnecessary
weight, you’re going to lose.
The paunch around your waist isn’t
all. For every pound of fat you have
on your stomach there’s another pound
inside. Fat In your muscles, fat
around your lungs and heart and fat
around your blood vessels. And it’s
all unnecessary weight to carry and
needless fat that clogs and impedes
your muscles.
Life insurance companies will not
issue a policy to anyone who is 40 per
cent overweight. They know that fat
people are more subject to diabetes,
kidney diseases, heart diseases and
hardened blood vessels than are people
of normal weight.
Life insurance companies are run to
make money and they don’t place any
bets on men who are not ‘‘in condi
tion.”
Why are you too fat?
In 75 per cent of cases because you
eat too much or use your muscles too
little, or both.
You put food in your stomach and
the body digests It and makes fuel
out of it. But It has more than It
needs, so the surplus is stored up un

• cles and around your heart to get It
