The Danbury Reporter. VOLUME XXXIII Poor Health and Death Rate Made Less By Pure Air In the Homes. King, June 19. Mr. Editor : In looking around us. we see so much sickness and death, we look mid wonder what is the cause. If we can only find tlie cause, then we can find the cure. In most cases, it is breathing impure air. Yes, look into the matter carefully. "The breath that goes out from our lungs, contains 40 parts of carbonic acid in 1,000 parts of air." A candle or a lamp will go out in tins air. Bird* win fined in it will die. Every breath that you send out in a room that is closed with no mentis of ventila tion reduces the purity of the general supply of air. As you ex hale impurities, they taint the air just like a little milk will a pail full of water. In an hour or two the air in the room will lie decided ly lowered in its oxygen anil the amount of carbonic acid increased. We must have plenty of oxygen to breathe if we want healthful bodies. Pure air is only one-fifth oxygen at best. When we sleep in poorly ventilated rooms, we breathe 10 times as much carbonic acid as nature intended we should. The amount of air actually consum ed by an adult in 24 hours, is somewhere near .'{>(> cubic feet, according to best authorities. If you were out of doors and used up this, it would have no effect on the purity of the general supply, as out of doors is so vast in its extent, and nature has arranged that vegetation should inhale the impure air, throw out and return it to the atmosphere pure again. Of course, no direct sickness will result from breathing this impure air. There will simply be a slight headache, lowered vitality, labor ed breathing, palpitation and a feeling that we are not fully re freshed. Physiology tells us it will in time, cause ill health and death. For perfect health, the air in the house should be as pure as out of doors every day and night of the year. Nothing else will do, then, we will breathe the kind of air the Creator intended for us to. We think it awful when we hear of some one committing suicide, but this is the very thing you are do ing when you are sleeping in closed rooms; committing suicide by degrees and lots are killing their children, too, by having them to breathe this impure air. Open your windows wide at night, let the pure air rush in and the bad out ami you will soon be strong and well and your children des tined to be healthful men and women. If you are not used to sleeping with plenty of air com ing in, I would advise when you begin do not sleep in a draught at first, but sleep where the draught will not strike you and it will not be long before you can sleep right where the wind and pure air cnn come flowing in on yon and feel all the better. No danger taking cold or the baby the croup. Mod ern doctors have decided plenty of fresh air will euro pneumonia. Stop taking all kinds of medicines and ruining your stotnache by all kinds of drugs, jro to nature and get well. Of course, doctors are a lot of help especially in acute disease, and we cannot value them too much, but they cannot cure us for all time, we are liable to get sick at any time. But if we can learn to obey all of nature's laws and no accident come to us, we would undoubtedly live out oural otted|time. "The Great White Pla gue," consumption, has been the cause of about one-seventh of all the deaths the world over and it is ! a preventable disease; it is a house j disease; it is a mainly caused by i breathing impure and unwhole some air in buildings. This is an established fact. A person who has | consumption and hasn't let it go ! too long can obtain a complete cure bv simply living out of doors 'all the time, night and day, with reasonable attention to diet, exer cise, etc. This has been done over and over in this country and across I the ocean. This goes to prove , the cause as stated above. A healt li ly person breathing plenty of pure air and living properly is in no danger whatever of these germs Jor any other kind, while most of ! diseases are caused by germs, (terms are waiting around to kill those who have too greatly violat ed nature's laws. Haven't you noticed how ill hoaith is likely to I culminate in spring time. People 1 are very sick and die. ()ne cnuse of this is the impure air of our ! homes, which we have been con fined to during the winter and our vitality has been lowered and we are in a condition to take dis eases and then we will receive our punishment for not obeying na ture's laws. We may go on in our old ways burying our loved ones front time to time and call it a dispensation of providence and try to mnke ourselves believe the f air in our homes is all right but I that does not alter the facts. , When we go out from our sleep ing rooms in the morning and , they smell as purl and fresh as it I does out in the open air, 'thoii wo , will have a preventative for most , of our sickness and this preventa tive is also a cure. [: AI'NT LUCILLE. , I SANDY RIDGE ROUTE TWO. Sandy Ridge Route 2, June IS, 1 —We are having plenty of rnin in j this section now, and crops are looking fairly well. ; The annual "Children's Day" , will be held at Mt.

Barn and Two Fine Mules Of Mr. Dee Smith Burned By Moonshiners Near Watkinsville Attempt Made To Fire Dwelling. News reached here Saturday of the burning of the feed barn and two mules, besides a quantity of feed anil other property, belonging to Mr. Dee Smith, near Watki,ns ville, Friday night. Every indica tion points to the fact that the fire was incendiary, as an attempt was also made to burn Mr. Smith's dwelling, in which he with his family, were sleeping. Straw was scattered around the house and set on tire, which was discovered in time to prevent the ignition of the building. It is reported that Mr. Smith, who is an honorable and law-abid ing citizen, recently incurred the resentmeut of the moonshiners living in his oominunity by harb oring officers of the law, and that the damage to his property was an overt act of revenge on the part of the illicit stillers. GERMANTON ROUTE ONE. Germanton Route 1, June It). — Messrs Dock and Qllie Boyles, of Winston-Salem, visited their pa rents last Saturday and Sunday. Come again, we nro always glad to see you come. Mr. W. E. Boyles called on his best girl Sunday. Mr. S. D. Bennett has boon on the sick list for sometime; glad to note he is improving. Hope he will soon recover. Miss Claudia Johnson visited Misses Cora and Lula Sunday. Guess they had a nice time, Come again, Claudia, we enjoy your company. Well, the people in this com munity are about done harvesting wheat and rye and are now killing crabgrass. Hello, Miss Bettio, how did you enjoy the footwashing. Alright, I guess. Well, we have changed our Sun day School from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock in the evening. Think it will give the girls a better chance to come. Now, girls, cottte, you have no excuse to stay at home, only to chat your fellow, so come and bring him with you and help us along as Sunday School is a grand place to take the stand for Christ, as our good old Supt. tells us how we should do. So now come, boys and girls, and join in with our happy little band of Sunday School workers. KATIE. KING ROUTE ONE. King Route 1, June 19. —The farmers are very busy harvesting their wheat. They say their wheat is not so good. Now, a word please in reply to Mr. "Butter Bean Blossom," I called you Mr., but I believe you are a Miss. You call yourself a blossom, but nobody but a cross eyed person will say you are half that pretty. If you are any kind of a blossom, you are a cowslip blossom. Come again, and tell us some more about Walter Kiser kissing his girl and her knocking his nose to one side. He says he hnd lather kiss the slop bucket than to kiss 'Butter Beau Blossom." 1 think that he can marry where they won't give you your break fast. I guess you are in practice reading notices by this time. Ha! ha! Mr. Walter George, of Francisco Route 2, was in town last Friday, Letter From a sokes Boy In Kibler. Va. Kibler, Va., J line ]H. Mr. Editor : I will write a few lines to your honorable paper, as I have not seen any letters from here. Fruit growing and sawmilling is the chief industry in this sec tion, as the land is rough and steep. It is well adapted to grass and cattle raising. The Dan, \ alley Lumber Com pany is fixing for a large business. Mr. Mack Pedigo has undertaken a large job of sawing. This is a green country up here, the land is covered with a thick coat of green verdure from the water edge to the mountain top and on the mountain side are forests of chestnut, chestnut oak, water oak, bass, lynn and many others that make fine sawmill tim ber. This country abounds with sala ble herbs. The people up here are very; different to the people of Walnut Cove, my former home. They talk of building a new grist mill in .this place. It is needed very badly. It is very .delightful to roam over the mountain, for anybody not used to them. In the case of Clements, cutting! John Wetherman, Clements was, bound over to last week under a 250.000 bond. I like the country here mighty well, it is very thin settled. They are K >ine improvements on their roads in this section. You all ought to come up to the wedding next Sunday, I think he called his last time last Suuday night. Hope a large crowd will be present. You all don't know how I en joy reading the columns of your paper and bearing from my friends and old acquaintances. If this escapes tho waste basket, I will come again some time later. I think the paper is making steady improvements every issue. STOKES COUNTY BOY. VADE MECUM ROUTE ONE. Vade Mecum Route 1, June 17. —We have had a wonderfully good season. I think every farmer has finished planting tobacco in this section. I think there is as large a crop planted in this section as has been for many years. Mr. T. J. Thore planted one row of tobacco which took (i thousand plants to set, under which he used about 1,000 pounds of guano special. The fanners are all in a strain trying to save their grain and the grass growing in the tobacco and corn. So get up and hustle, fight the grass while the sun shines. Mr. J. R. Morefield is coming to clean the deck threshing this season, as he has ordered a new separator and gasolene engine. So look, out boys, he is coming down the road. J. J. J. Fire Destroys Sawmill and Lumber Plant of Lackey & Young. The sawmill and lumber plant of Messrs. Lackey & Young, near Hartman, wore destroyed by fire Thursday night. Only the carriage of the machine was saved. The engine was demolished, and a large quantity of lumber burned. The loss is placed at about $1,(100 with no insurance. The fire originated in the dry kiln. Much sympathy is expressed for the unfortunate young men, who had by hard work aud honest dealings built np a good business. DEATH OF MRS. SAM TUTTLE. She Passed Away At Greensboro Fri day Night of Typhoid Fever—lnter ment At Meadows Sunday. After nn illness of only a few days Mrs. Sam Tuttle died Friday night at Greensboro of typhoid fever. The remains were shipped to relatives at Meadows, this coun ty, Saturday afternoon, where the interment took place Sunday even ing attended by a large crowd of relatives and friends. Mrs. Tuttle, who was formerly Miss Josie Sands, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. W. Sands, of Mead ows, was quite a young woman, and her untimely death is deplor ed by a large circle of friends. She had been married to Mr. Tut tle only about a year. They had lived at Greensboro several months. GERMANTON RUUTE ONE. Germanton Route I. June 19, Mr. Editor : If you will allow me a little space in your paper, 1 will throw in a little of my gab. The farmers of this section are busy now, cutting wheat, planting tobacco, etc. I think the farmers itre missing it, by planting so much tobacco. Old Aunt Nancy Boles, who died Saturday the 17th inst., was buried at Friendship church on Sunday at '•) o'clock p. in. Her age was 99 years, 11 months, and !20 days. She was a tine old lady, ! and was loved and respected by j all who knew her. Mr. Sales Ferguson has been looking rather sad for the past ; three or four weeks, as ho got his j license for a certain girl, and she i went back on him. Cheer up, Mr. Sales, I guess she will be alright | in a few days. Miss Ola Allen is all smiles | this week, as Mr. Cary Darnell called on her Sunday. Look out, girls, Messrs. Chester I Ferguson and Walter Terry are j going to take a Hying trip down j about the Cove next fourth Sun- I day. Mr. J. F. Boyles went to sec his ),'irl Sunday and came back sick, j Wonder what is the trouble? Mr. Coy Bennett and Miss May j Bell Smith took a flying trip to : Mt. Olive last Sunday week and as they came back through the | great city of Mountain View, they j didn't see a single house. Wonder I what was attracting their attention. DAD'S BEST BOY.

Mr. Editor : 1 am very nnxious that we should lmvo a good turnout at our old soldiers meeting and as Saturday' is generally a leisure day with most people, I have decided to change the date of our meeting from the 7th day of August to Saturday the 12th. I hope the people will pardon me for trying to organize the old veterans of Stokes as I think it is somebody's duty and it ought to have been done long ago, however, I hope it is not too late yet. As there is a goodly number of them still living and most of the people of Stokes are Confederate soldiers and the descendants of soldiers and I can see no reason why we should not have a good turnout of the old soldiers and people generally and 1 want everybody, both ladies and gentlemen, who feel an interest in the soldiers to come out on that day and bring a nice basket of something to eat for themselves and soldiers and I hope the sol | dicrs of Stokes will interest them j selves sufficient to all .form) out and let us have a good old time. I hope some gooil speaker will do ns the kindness to meet us there and make us a good speech suit able to the occasion. I also hope the people of Danbury will do us the kindness to make somo ar ' rangements for a table and any j thing else they feel like doing, for a ! few more years and we will all have l answered the last roll call. Respectfully, J. A. LEAKE. PINNACLE. Pinnacle, June '2O. Mr. Dock Boyles came to see Mr. Luther 1 Wall Sunday and left him a nice coat. Come again, I'ncle Dock, and finish out the suit. Misses Genie and Emma Boyles ' visited Miss Minnie Boles Sun | 'toy- Mrs. Pulp and Mrs. Nettie Boy les visited their mother Sunday, i who is very feeble. A largo crowd went from Pin nacle to King Sunday evening to a singing concert. I think from all accounts, they enjoyed if fine. Sale Of Malt Stopped.
