I wish to inform the people of Yadkin county that the number that die from diphtheria is de termined by (1) how extensive ly toxin-anritoxin is administer ed to children above six months; (2) how soon the mothers cjall the doctor after symptoms of croup and sore throat develop; abd (3) if diphtheria antitoxin is used in treatment. As voui quarantine officer 1 hope we will have no deaths from this disease during Novem ber and December. S. L. RUSSELL, MD. Quarantine Officer. A New Leaf During the past few years I have made a sort of hesitating, half-hearfed effort to eliminate all dead beats from my “clien tele, ” in order that I night give more time and better service to the deserving few who pay their bills. I have awakened to the fact thatin the science of “humanics” I am incompetent, and that I drew the line in the wrong place. My estimate of honest men was in error, and many of those whom I trusted have de faulted. But this is due to my own poor judgment and I have no one to blame but myself. In the future, every stranger who calls for dental service must bring along the cash—or a letter from some responsible person who vouches for the pay ment of the bill. Too much of this “see-you Saturday” Dusiness has made it necessary that there be no “line” in future, and be ginning today I shall not trust myself to do any more guessing. Let every individual please bear this iu mind; particularly, every robust, able-bodied, broad-shoul dered “young American” who is to busy burning up gasoline and cigarettes that he refuses to be burdened w ith a iob. Ana wniie t am on the job i want to speak a word to old de linquents who allow ycur ac counts to drag along year after year. I do not think you arc dishonest—just negligent, and imagine, perhaps, that the den tist lives “on a credit” as you do and therefore has no need for any money. This is uot the case. What I can’t pay for I do not buy, and I do not owe you or anygae else a penny. Your account must be closed between now and January the first, either by cash settlement or a negotiable note’ I shall not take up time to notify you again, nor to write another piti ful letter telling you, I igain, how much I need the money. A man should pay his debts be cause he owes them, not be cause his creditors need the money. I shail give no* other lame reasons for asking for the I account. The debt itself is rea | son enough. I am giving sixty* days notice in order to prevent any humiliation on your part. After that time you can talk it over with my attorney. Nov. 10,1921. Yours truly, J.G. MARLER. t * •;/- v These Have Answered j The Flea! Boil Call _ Mrs. Elizabeth Eaton died' at her home near Forbush church last Tuesday, aged 68 years.

Washington.—Add blood-rod snow, will) tho taste of wulermeions, to the wonders of America's national porks. Out in the Kooky Mountain park in , C'olonnio, oil the continental divide that rise? nearly 12.000 feet above sea level, tourists have seen the col ored snow and have asked why they see red. The rays <7 the setting sun reflect ing on the snow at about twilight has been blamed by those who traveled toward the close of the day, but in full daylight the redness of the snow does not disappear. Countless billions of tiny organisms, i that move and grow and reproduce in the cold environment, are responsible, government experts have found. Protoroeeus nivalis is the name of ihi's fluoroscopic bolshevik, who has the characteristics of both the plant and animal kingdoms. -Tins coloration of the snow' is more intensive a quarter of an inch below tite surface, end the stVeaks that are often red as blood have a sweetish taste when placed on the tongue. This strange snow colorer is be lieved to have come from the arctic regions, where'it has -fiAHU! in. the past. Scientists believe that its spores may have been Sbrought dowil from the North by the Chinook winds.

Washington.—Representatives of tha depan meat of marine biology in the Carnegie institute at Washington have i been engaged lor some time in re searrh work in the Dry Tortugas, lit tle islands near Key West, and have discovered many interesting facts con cerning the giant sea turtles which fre quent tiie Atlantic <-©ast. , One discovery has been made by a 1 method which could be well de scribed as “mocking the turtle,” for | by this method it has been pretty f well established that the baby sea turtle is guided by a sense of color , alone in seeking the water as soon as it is old enough to leave the sandy nesting place that Its parents have chosen. Heretofore it lias been Unijgii by ins r a sens The bill, 1< leathm breedi aquari the s leave found But w (lie \v, island. posit t hatche The nesting Span is The from t young a strai was fit tms age ot tne young turtles that the experiments were conducted. The scientists had with them sheets of colored paper, red, yellow and blue. When a sheet of red or yellow paper was placed between the baby and his view of the water he would Immedi ately turn and go in another direction. But when the blue sheet was'used, no matter where placed, the infant would make for it without hesitation. There wasn't any question about “blue for a boy, pink for a girl.” All experiments showed that, whether or not we have picked| blue as a dismal color, as far as the turtle is concerned, it is the bluebird for happiness. Gets Color From Food. The tests were made with the. At*, lantic green turtle. It Is also believed that he gets the color for which,he,.is, named-from feeding on the seaweeds, which are more brilliant in color. Ret search, along similar lines has devel- „ oped tjie theory that the beautiflit scarleti flamingo gets his coloring from derions and the brilliantly hued molluscs which abound along the t coasts of the southern Islands and shoals. It is strongly substantiated' '> by the fact that the European ft*’ mingo Is almost white and that our own species fades rapidly when put j» ‘ zoological eolfections where he qhs no longer get these foods; in the same process, the wonderfully colored 9 '’-it ft ! - A
