Duke Foundation requirements for

years, received $1,167 this year, about
in line with its funds in other years.
The Vance county hospital and the
Scott Parker Sanatorium for tuber
culosis patients did not appear in the
list this year, due to a change of po
licy by the Duke Foundation as to
Hie basis on which hospitals share in
tH* money. It was announced early
last year that tuberculosis hospitals
would not share, these being drop
ped. it was understood, because pa
tients were cared for over long periods
of time, and it being the desire to
make the funds available for a greater
number of people who were ill for
Shorter periods.

when the callus Is shaved away, can
the wart-like nature of the affection
be seen. It is in a pit-Hks depression

removed by surgical incision. Com

school will present a play entitled
‘‘The Adventures of Grandpa,” at the

entertaining nature, presenting an
unusual amount of clean and whole

Some extend clear into the bone.
Such are the dangerous conditions
which resemble corns. Their danger
consists in the that they are fre
quently mistaken for corns, treated
for corns, called corns, irritated and
monkeyed with by chiropodists and
members of the family, and the owner
himself, until they have bton 'con
verted into serious conditions. Their
danger, In other words. Is more to
the fact that a mistake in diagnosis
will be made than that there is any t
difficulty in treatment if taken early.
But tbe use of caustics and electrical
treatment are ill-advised.
Infected corns are more common.
In nearly all cases they are infected
by treatment —in tbe effort to remove
them. Therefore, the greatest pre
caution should be taken in seeing
that cutting Instruments are made
sterile every time before being used
to pare corns. The ekin of the corn
and surrounding tissue should also
be sterilized with alcohol, iodine st
a few drops of mercurocbrome.
Elderly people especially, aad par
ticularly people with diabetes, should
be careful about Infecting corns
They should Indeed be careful about
everything associated with their feet.
Too much skill and care cannot be
expended on treating corn* on ths
diabetic’s feet
If a corn does become Infected, ths
foot should be soaked In hot water
for ten or fifteen minutes every hour
or two. A compress of sterile gauze
soaked In hot boric acid solution
should be latd on it. Once or twice
a day the superficial Infection should
be touched with tincture of iodine and
then oovered with sterile gauze.

REPUBLICANS WILL
MEETONSATURDAY
Gathering To Name Dele*
gates to Coming Party
Convention
A meeting of Republicans of Vance
county to be held at the court house
here next Saturday afternoon at 2
o'clock was announced today by N. A.
Garrett, county chairman, who issued
a formal call for the nteettng. The
notice by Mr. Garrett as chairman of
the Republican Executive Committee
of Vance county follows:
“All members of the Republican or
ganisation of Vance county, and aill
Republican voters of the county, are
called to meet at the court house Sat
urday, April 2, 2 p. m. for the puli'-
pose of perfecting a county organi
sation and electing delegates to the
various conventions.”
Delegatee to be elected arc for the
State Republican convention, and akw>
to the congressional district conven
t'en, it is understood. If art execu
tive committee for the county is nam
ed at that time, that committee is ex
peced to hold a meeting later for se
lection of a county chain-man.
RASKOB REGIME IS
CALLED BRILLIANT
(Continued from Page One.)
just before the 1928 campaign opened
the Democratic committee did con
trive to keep an office open in Wash
ington—and that was all that it did
manage to do.
That office was a melancholy place
to visit. The word “licked” was writ
ten on its window, all all intents and
purposes.
The weather was Republican weath
er during those years, it is true. Never
theless there were a number of squalls
in the course of the Coolidge era
They might have been fanned into
tempests if anyone had been avail
able to fan them. As a matter of fact,
all the fanning that the Democratic
organization was capable of doing up
to July. 1928, was urgently needed to
keep its own breathing appartus func
tioning.
Three or four months is not long
enough to fan up a hurricane.
It is equally true that the Demo
cratic commtitee under John J. Ras
kob'a regime has had disastrous Re
publican raw material to work on that
was lacking in his predecessor. Chair
man Clem Shaver's qltadrennium.
But for all that, such raw material
requires workmanship, to make the
most of it
No one can say that the Demo
cratic publicity factory, under direc
tion of John J. Raskob's gifted as
sistant, Jouett Shouse, and Shouse's
equally gifted sub-assistant. Charley
Mlchelson. has neglected its duty in
this respect.
In fact it not only has not neglected
Its duty; It has performed it with
super-brilliancy.
The Republicans are good explain
ers. There Is no knowing how effec
tively they might not have explained
away their hard luck of the laxt two
and a half years if they had been left
to do it uninterruptedly and uncon
tradictediy. Unluckily for them the
Raskob outfit were better critics than
the Republican committee could fur
nish In the way of explainers.
