Contradicting' Reports About Gran . 5 ville County. ' - . ' . ,. From News and Observer. Mayor D. G. Brummitt, of Oxford, while in the city Tuesday, had the following to say about the - small i pox reports: - .- . - "The statement made in your yesterday's correspondence from Dui "tiam to the effect tha Granville coun ty has contributed one hundred and fifty cases to the small-pox scare is far from being a correct one At present there are only four ca ges of small pox in our county .Two of these are at Oxford, one at Creed uioor and one near Lyons. All of these cases haye been traced back to; Durham and this accounts for v.ne quarantine, against that town, and county. : ' "In so far as our town is concern ed the situation is well in hand. Our first case appeared just a week ago in the person of a negro from Durham. The other is that of a negro woman hotel keeper. Our town health officer, Dr.Tx. S. Wat kins, is looking after the cases and Uill suspects. The first step taken by our board of town commissioners was to direct the . health officer to enforce the State law, Revisal sec tion 4451, requiring the vaccina tion of all children attending the public schools- At this time.every child, both white and -black, in the public schools of Oxford has been vaccinated. So far as I know there has been no opposition whatever among our people to the en-J forcement of this State law. In fact, a large, number of our people are heartily in favor of compulso ry vaccination, and this will be re quired if it becomes necessary. At the present time, a large number of our adults have been vaccinated and I do not think that there will be much, if any, opposition . to compulsory vaccination if it be comes necessary. - - "As to the cases in the county outside of Oxford, they are being carefully looked after by the county superintendent of health, Dr. S. D. Booth. Both he and Dr. Watkins are capable and efficient physicians, have 'the confidence of the people and may be depended upon to prop erly safeguard the health of our people- I look for a speedy and effective stamping out of the disea se in our town and county. m u m PURE RICH BLOOD.

START 1911 RIGHT Have your horse shoeing and buggy pairing done at CALLIS Shop. re- Houses Are Now Being Built With These Healthful Adjuncts Good Things to Fight Consumption With. The advanced age in which we live brings with it new ideas and advanced modes of living. The mod ern house must now be equipped with sleeping porches- This is the fad the health preserver. Outdoor sleeping is now recommended for many things. , General Clarence R. Edwards, Chie. of ' the Bureau of Insular affairs, was one of the first men to popu larize open air sleeping rooms - in Washington, but their use is now quite general. Secretary Dickinson sleeps on a porch partially enclosed, and is one of the most earnest ad vocates of sleeping out of doors. Colorado Springs, Colo., probably has more sleeping porches in propor tion to its population than any other city in the world. Many fami lies have such a porch for every member of the household, and the first thing an architect designs wher commissioned to build a home in that city is the sleeping porches. In California screened and cur tained sleeping porches are to -be seen on all the newer houses.Kan sas has also fallen into line and Wichita claims the distinction of having the-Nonly 3-story sleeping porch in the world. 1 9 mm Operation Thought Inevitable. Ferris, Tex In a letter from this place, Mary Kilman says: "I was confined to my bed for three months, with womanly troubles.and during this time suffered untold agony. The doctor said an opera tion was inevitable. I tried Cardui. Now I am well, and able to do a great part of my work." Thousands of ladies have testified to the ben efit obtained from Cardui, the wom an's tonic. It prevents unnecessary womanly pains and builds up wom anly strength. It is a true tonic.Try lit. It -will help you. Mrs. Hutt, in N.C . Bulletin. Possibly there is no one part of the human body so often spoken of as is the blood, nor is there any one part so little understood by the general public. We hear "her blood is thin," or "he is too full blooded," or "she had blood-poisoning," or "there is bad blood be tween them," without ever realiz ing what it really means any more than if we said the sky is blue. When I say to the mothers "If you sleep with your windows open it will help you to have good red blood how many pause to consider for a moment that is the connec tion between blood and air. A Grown Man's Blood. The- blood is a red, opaque, salty fluid. It composed about 7 1-2 per cent of the weight of the body; thus a grown man weighing 150 pounds has about 6 quarts of blood that weighs about twelve pounds. Juht as the body is one, yet is composed of different substances, flesh, bone, blood etc., so blood is made up of three things. The first is the liquid part called plas ma.. This is a clear, pale yellow fluid. - The Corpurcles. Then, like fish moving in a river, the red objects. These are the red corpuscles and they look something like - tiny , little pie pans thickened at the edges. Their important work in life is to carry the oxygen to all parts of the body. If we are look ing for lessons there are two right here. One is that every one of God's creations has its work to do; and second, that He sometimes entrusts His most important work to the smallest and most inconspicious corpuscles form a third sub stance in the blood. These look like little clear drops of apple jel ly. The doctors were many hundred of years in finding their reason for existence. They thought they must he the dead red corpuscles. Our Creator, however, knew, as we could not, what was their use. We did not yet realize that there was such an enemy to the human body as a germ. He knew and made pro vision for it. Deep down within- the hollow of the bones is a safe iirth piace for these white corpuscles. There they are protected, little af fected by the thousand ills or dis turbances of the flesh- They emer ge from their safe abode ready for their own great life-work that of defending , the body from disease, and this'S how they dt it: c' . What They Do For Genns. WbeiTa disease germ enters the body these white corpuscles, which do not confine themselves . at all to the plasma, but wander where they will tnrough the tissues of thebody approach the germ, and one of them attempts to surround and digest it. Meanwhile the germ is growing and it is a question as to which is the stronger, the cor puscles or the germ- If the germ be stronger and there are enough of them, disease will take place; if the white corpuscle be stronger, the body will never know how near it came to contagion. From all this it will be seen that when we take medicine "for our bleed" we do not make more blood but increase the number of cor puscles in the amount which we al ready have. What was said of an egg ought to be said of the blood. It is. "Nature's treasure house, where in lies, Locked by angels' alchemy, Milk . and hair and blood and bone." There was a time not many years past, when we thought that since there is so much in the blood it would be an excellent thing for anemic persons to drink it to become strong. That was, however, a mistake. As soon drink the whole river to obtain the fish, or to ex pect the spoon which carries the food to the mouth to be of nutri tives value. The story of how the blood trav els the body and what it does is one of the most interesting stories that could be read. It is sufficient to say here, however, that every time the heart beats, and it does so -about seventy times a minute, it sends about half a tumbler full of blood out into the arteries through strong elastic tubes. Think of how much is sent out into the body in twenty-four hours! The Hearts Job. The heart is divided into two parts, each part of which is en dowed with strong muscles that re lax and contract- One-half of the heart becomes relaxed and filled with bright red blood. Suddenly the heart contracts and spurts- this stream of pure clean blood out in to the arteries to be distributed to all parts of the body. There it gives up to skin or bone or muscle or brain or liver its supply of -ox ygen and food material and takes in stead worn-out dead cells and poi sons. The blood that wnet bounding out .bright red comes quietly back to the heart, a dark, purplish, stream. There the other side of the heart relaxes, receives it, con tracts and pumps it to the lungs where the oxygen of the air, puri fied by God's free gift of sunshine is exchanged for the poison of the blood, carbon dioxide. Again the other side of the heart relaxes and the pure; health-giving blood fills it to be once more sent forth. It is as if your grocer's cart came to us ever so often filled with fine meat and bread and vegetables and went away laden with garbage to be by some miracle again suddenly changed into more fresh nourish ing provisions for the next day's supply. When a mother under stands this she is not going to say: "I don't rwant to put my baby out on the porch to sleep; she likes the dim, closed room better." She may like the dimness, but the closed room is certainly not better for the little growing body, and the eyea can be easily shaded. How's. Your Complexion' The young woman who wishes a bright clear complexion must have good, red blood. The better to ob tain that, she should take vigor ous exercise to make the heart send the blood coursing through her body, and . great, deep breaths to put plenty of oxygen in it. If she does this there will be an indirect good accomplished, that is, her lungs will contain so few unused air cells that tuberculosis can not eas ily fasten its dreadful grip upon her In the blood is a substance that coagulates, as we all know, when it touches the air. That is the body's method of checking bleeding. When a 'man has little of this sub stance in the blood he is called a "bleeder" and sometimes loses large quantities of blood from very sim ple wounds. The thing to do, then, when a child comes in with a small cut, is to cleanse "well the wound and let the blood form a hard surface and check its own flow Above all things, do not use cobweb, or soot. They have clinging to them hundreds of germs, many of which, may be harmful. These might be taken into the blood from the open wound, to appear again, perhaps veeks later in the form of some unexpected disease. Some Body Ills- Malaria is a blood disease itf that Its Wn . effects areJtecause, of ; the destruction of the red' corpuscles." Doptheria owes a large proportion: of its victories not to suffocation, but to the toxins which are produce by the germs and carried to the heart, kidneys or nervous system. Anti-toxin does not kill the germs, it destroys the poison and gives the defenders of the body time to work. Pneumonia seldoms kills by the air sacks of the lungs becoming so filled that the patient can not brea the; nearly always it is because the heart is overburdened by the tox ins that have been carried from the germ-laden lungs by the blood. Just as soon as boils appear many people will say: "Oh, my blood is out of order." Pimples, boils, car buncles, and erysipelas are essenti ally skin disease and caused by pus-forming bacteria there. It Is affected by the blood only in that an impoverished condition of tho blood means few white corpuscles and other auxiliary substances to fight the germs. Vaccination accomplishes its splen did results by leaving in the blood a substance that will kill any stray smallpox germs that might get Into the " body. Hookworm, that disease whose ravages are felt in every county of North Caroline, is a blood,' or rath er, bloodless malady because the thousands of parasites living on the blood of the victim so deplete the blood that a scanty supply is left. Three Good Rules. Many more of our human ailment, might be cited, but enough has been said to convince you of the impor tance of keeping in the veins a good supply of rich blood- Tho three main ways of accomplishing this purpose are: Eat enough good, well-prepared food, protect the body from too sudden changes of tem perature, and It all times breathe in plenty of fresh air fill the lungs with it take deep breaths of it and at night let its cooling bree zes blow where they will through the sleeping chamber. There is a saying that blood is thicker than water, and it certainly is, for It not" only binds relative to relative, but it adds childhood on to the years of babyhood, womanhood to girlhood, and to womanhood an old age ripe with the memory of a well-rounded life.
