THE ROANOKE CHOWAN TIMES. THURSDAY; FEB. 4, 192(1 J 1 TOWN IS ITS OWN DAIRYMAN . . Tarboro. N. C, a town with , 4.600 Inhabitants, baa been in v the retail muk business since -1917, The city baa booght the milk from the farmers, pasteur ized it, bottled it, and distributed it. In fact it is in the. milk bust nets much as most cities and towns are in the water business, This is bow Tarboro became milkman. In 1917 the public health ser vice made a health survey of Tarboro and Edgecombe county. The general in charge of the health campaign that grew out of this survey was Dr. K. E. Miller. Dr. Miller decided the most necessary job was to get rid of yard privies. Presently the milk supply of Tarboro came in for attention. At the time it was produced by a number of dairy men. each euDDlsing a list of customers to whom he delivered The milk was dangerous and of poor quality. The people had little confidence in it, and the total daily consumption was 100 quarts. Dr. Miller considered the advisability of a laboratory and a milk inspector. The cost to the community was prohibi tive. Furthermore, the produc tion of a safe milk to be sold raw would have necessitated expendi tures which were prohibitive to the dairymen and would have forced the price of milk to a pro hibitive price for the consumer. it was decided to buy a pas teurizing plant and install it in one corner of the waterworks Also to buy a wagon to deliver. The milk is bought from the farmers at 12 cents a Quart. It b sold to the people at 17 cents a quart. There are two deliveries a day. The total cost of the equipment, exclusive of the horse and wagon, was $1,800, and here are the results of the seven BUGS AND HUMBUGS 'W&MM.

The daily consumption of milk has risen from 100 quarts to 500 quarts. The health of the com munity must be indirectly bet tered as a result of this more ex tensive use of milk. The prevailing price of milk in nearby community is 20 cents a quart. The retail price of milk in Tarboro has never gone over 18 cents, and it is now 15 cents The farmer gets 12 cents. The records of the town show that the milk business has paid operating expenses and returned the original cost of installation The milk plant is now occupying a part of a new steel building The milk plant has paid its share of the cost of the building. or two competitors who tried to make the experiment a failure have gone out of business. Further plans contemplate an ice cream business as a means of taking care of the surplus in the periods of flush. It is hoped that the addition of this plan to the original scheme will convert JEdgecomber county into a dairy district, supplying several of the nearby towns with safe pasteur ized milk and providing ice cream for even a larger territory. Dr. W. A. Evans, in Salt Lake Tribune. but it may have been unusual fatigue or exposure If there is added to this factor of debility an irritation or tne lungs, as colds or influenza will do, then pneumonia is much more likely to occur. Jfneumonia has some times followed an ether aoaes thetic for some surgical opera tion. The cause or pneumonia is a specific germ the pneumonococ cus which grows, when planted, and multiplies in some part of the lung structure. Like other infections this bacteria when growing eliminates a substance which is peculiarly toxic to the human being. Catarrhal pneumonia, or bron I cho-pneumonia as it is often called, is more common in child ren and the aged. In children it often follows measles or whoop ing cough. Croupous pneumonia is often called lobar pneumonia, fibrinous pneumonia, acute pneumonia or pneumonitis. Lobar pneumonia occurs mostly between the ages of twenty and fifty and statistics show that there are four times as many cases in women as men In three-fourths of the cases of lobar pneumonia the lower lobe of the right lung is affected and in one-half of the cases this lobe is alone the seat of the disease Unlike most other infectious diseases one attack of pneumonia does not protect against subse auent attack. No immunity is produced and the lung once dis eased is more likely to again be come infected. Also the lung that has been crippled by pneu monia is much more susceptible to tubercular infection. Pneumonia is often ushered in with a chill, rapid rise of tern perature, and with pains in the chest. When this happens you can't get a doctor too quick, and don't wait until be comes to go to bed. Negligence at this time may cost a life. Buy many things you don't need and you may be obliged to sell a few things you do need. not stayed long but (for lack of a better word) what we shall call his politeness had practically been responsible for a business deal. Strange to say during the visit of the gentleman referred to, the conversation fell upon this verv subject of politeness, and he told a little story a personal exper ience which has its lesson. Some years ago, he said, he was in charge of offices for his company in Boston. His business requir ed answering numerous calls on the telephone. Realizing the im portance of courtesy and oolite ness in answering these calls he began to search for the right person to do this job. One diy he went into a cafe for Mb lunch. He noticed that one young lady was waiting on several persons and that numerous others were apparently waiting to be served at her table He decided to see what it was all about, so the next time he, too, waited for her to serve him. He soon knew the secret. The girl was the soul of politeness. With a smile on her face she greeted her customers with just the right rcrt of couit esy and consideration. Day after day he saw this same courteous treatment accorded those with whom she came in contact. Fin ally one day the gentleman in quired if she was pretty well paid for her services in the cafe. and the girl candidly replied that she was receiving $12 50 per week, about as much as any em ployee of the place. He then asked, if she would be interested in changing her job and told her BILL BOOSTER SAYS: twos wrwrnt ffcoows ' VJHO ADVERTISE, feECAUSS .-. TVHM AMWANS OWE "THE BEST -, 1U SERVICE AUD VALUE.
