HEALTH TALKS
Street Peddlers
Of all dirty, disgusting,
dangerous places to buy foods,
fruits, and confections, t]ie
the street stands and push
cart oeddlers take first place.
Did you ever stop even for a
few minutes to watch the var
ious ways in which these foods
are continually exposed to dirt
and disease? Who has not
seen some more or less un
kempt, filthy looking foreign
er hovering around an old push
cart loaded with the cheapest
grades of sticky candies, stale
nuts and overripe fruits? In
many cases his entire stock of
wares are exposed to flies and
dirt. Some of the more pro
gressive venders now have
tlicir candies and fruits pro
tected from flies by means of
mosquito netting. But this
affords little protection against
the clouds of dust that ire
stirred up by street sweepers,
gusts of wind, and passing ve
hicles, The idea of having
to inhale such dust is revolt
ing enough yet in this case it
is eaten—only in a disguised
and more palatable form. All
thoughtful persons recall at
onzi the possibility of eating
dangerous germs in dried tu
berculosis sputa as well as
unaesthetic material from the
street sweepings
To minimize this dust nui
sance, peddlers caafrequently
be seen blowing the dust off
their candies and in the case
of fruits the original lustre
is restored b}' rubbing in the
hands, with the coat sleeve, or
worse still with a badly soiled
pocket handkerchief. It is un
necessary to even speculate on
the possibilities contained in
these handkerchiefs.
Last of all, let us not for
get that it is the small boy
and girl, with their pennies
and nickels, that are greatest
victims of these peddlers of
confection and diseases. Grow
ing children must have sweets
but there is no reason for our
permitting them to patronize
such places. Give the boys
and girls good, pure candies
and clean fruits. It will re
duce doctor bills and increase
the child’s prospects for a good
stomach.
Statesville Air Line
Mr. Editor; It has now been
about two years since work
began on the Statesville Air
Line Railroad and at the rate
the woik has progressed so
far it will be ten years before
it reaches Yadkinville and 4
or 5 more before it gets to
Boonville. Bonds of sufficient
amount were voted to grade
this road and if there is any
reason why if. should not be
done we are entitled to know
the reason. Three townships
in Yadkin County are tied up
to the amount of $90,000.00
and are thereby disabled to aid
in the building of another
road. We were told that if we
voted these bonds that the
road would be built forthwith
and that the amount would be
suffieent to grade the road
through the county.
Now the question arises
that if sufficient bonds art iv
ailable to build the road
WHY NOT build it NOW
and let the present generation
get some of the advantage of
it? 1 he people who voted
these bonds are entitled to
know what is being done and
should start some kind of an
investigation at once and see
if something eannot be done
to get the road built and built
now.

WE WIN BY FOREIGN BLOOD
So Sayo Ex-Oxford Athlete Who
Wante England to Copy the
Plan of Sweden.
W. Beach Thomaa, an Oxford gradd*
ate and former athlete. In reviewing
the Olympic games in the Daily Mail
says; “One can understand Ameri
can supremacy. " The winners are
mostly Engifehtedn* Scotchmen, or,
above all, Irishmen, at one remove
from the old country. One conspicu
ous victory was won by an ex-Swede.
“A vast population, recruited by the
best red blood, as the Americans
boast, from virile Europe, a popula
tion specialist! cally devoted , to the
narrowest form of athletics and pos
sessed almost of a mania for com
petition, is likely to produce a fine
team. It did produce an Incompara
ble team. The inclusion of Indiana,
Hawnllnns and one Anglo-Eussian fur
ther added to the total of marks.
“The Swedes are a better stand
ard of comparison. Their athletes
are a delight to the eyes. They wero
none of them specialists, but were all
gymnasts In a wide sense, as well aa
athletes in a wide sense. The nation
has used tjty» Olympic games as a test
of the physical training In which the
whole nation has been brought up. By
a quiot, methodical and really nation
al movement they have vastly In
creased the nation's Virility, The peo
ple at large can drill, row, swim, run,
throw and play.
“The question for England is wheth
er we cannot direct our national tal
ent for athletics so that our teams
may at least have some esprit du
corps. In which the defeated Olympic
team was grievously deficient, and so
that athletic skill with a chance of
representing the nation may become a
really healthy ambition among the
rich and poor In town and village.
Such an Ideal Is realised already In
Sweden, Denmark and Finland, and
is being discussed In France and Ger
many.*
FIND A USE FOR SWEEPINGS
Street Refuse Makes Good Pertillaer
If U la Quite Pro© Prom
Oil.
The United States department CS
agriculture has been conducting elab
orate experiments to ascertain the
value of street sweepings as a ferti
lizer. J. J. Skinner and J. H. Beattie
of the bureau of soils tried samples
collected In various ways upon wheat,
corn and radishes and found that
hand sweepings were beet, but not
nearly so good as well-rotted stable
manure; that machine sweepings
were about one-third as good as hand
and that decomposed sweepings were
almost useless.
The reason for this war that the
sweepings contained much lubricating
oil. The experimenters made tests
of sweepings from which the oil had
been extracted and found that both
hand and machine sweepings pro
duced as good results as stable ma
nure, while the decomposed sweep
ings were not far behind.
The department issues a bulletin
warning farmers and gardeners that
sweepings from which the oil has not
been extracted will eventually impair
the productiveness of soil, unless
through drainage the oily material is
drained off or changed.
The Whale's Song*
Whales are rarely thought of as vo
calists, yet according to Miss A. D.
Cameron in “The New North," they
really have a distinctive song of their
own.
A certain Captain Kelly was the
first to notice that whales sing. One
Sunday, while officers from three whal
ing ships were “gamming" over their
afternoon walrus meat, Kelly started
up with “I hear a bowheadi" There
was much chaffing about "Kelly’a
band," but Kelly weighed anchor, and
went to find the band-wagon. Every
sail followed his, with the result that
three whales were bagged.
Among bowheads, this singsong Is a
call that the leader of the school, as
he forces a passage through Bering
sea, makes In order to notify those
that follow that the straits are clear
of ice.
Walruses and seals and all true mam
mals that have lungs and live in the
water have a bark that sounds strange
enough as it comes up from hidden
depths. Every lookout ffom the mast
head notices that, when one whale Is
struck, the whole school is "gallied"
or stampeded at the very impact of
the harpoon; they have heard the
death song.
The sound that the bowhead makes
Is like the long-drawn-out "hoo-hoo-oo
oo!" of the hoot-owl. A whaler says
that the cry begins on F, and may
rise to A, B, or even C before slipping
back to F again. He assures us tnat
with the humpback the tone Is much
finer, and sounds across the water like
the note from the E string of a vio
lin.
8tr1ndberg Not at Home.
In an appreciative article upon the
late August Strindberg, which ap
pears in Harper's weekly, James Hun
eker describes his interview with the
