Thinks It Would Be
Better for Patients
Fro mthis Section
\
Zebulon, N. C., June 30, 1925.
Editor Zebulon Record:
|| For some time I have been study
ing over the situation of the T. B.’s
our section of the State. We have
a ■ yvonderful institution, near Aber
, deen,"*N. C., for the treatment of this
dreaded disease, tuberculosis, and that
institution is doing lots of good for
young men and young women from
all over the State. Also we have T.
It. patience that leave this section, or
rather the lower section of North
Carolina, that go to Colorado, and
other places seeking relief from this
disease. They also go to Western
North Carolina for the same purpose.
Many who seek health and strength
from this section in a higher climate,
get relief to a certain extent, but
when they return home, or to their
native climate, this old disease—being
in their system—in most cases, comes
back on them, and in many cases even
't in a worse stage, and the patient
I soon passe.; away.
The real object of this article is to
start a movement on foot for an in
stitution in this section, where the
p tients will not be subject to such a
climatical change when they have
been to such an institution, and re
ceives some benefit, i believe that an
institution yi this section where the
people from lower North Carolina
could come and get just as much
benefit here as if they were in West
ern North Carolina or in Colorado.
The change when they were sent home
would not be enough to affect them at
all, and as they are already acclimated
to this climate,/-fntre would not be
any necessary change of climate.
We could select some high spot—
• which there are many, within a mile
or so of Zebulon, and the treatment
could be administered just as at the
mountain sections. We have pure
\air, good water, as pure milk, as
good eggs, and just as good treat
ment could be received in this section
A as anywhere.
’ THE FIFTH ANNUAL STATE
SHORT COURSE FOR ROYS & GIRLS
Will Meet July 6th
to the Eleventh
Inclusive
The fifth annual short course for
hoy and girl club leaders throughout
the State will be held at State Col
lege July 6 to 11, inclusive, with Miss
Maude E. Wallace, who is head of the
girls’ work, in charge. The school is
, promoted to develop leaders in the
' club work, so that they can come to
this school and study th<* special
methods and information, and carry it
to the thousands of rural cvlub mem
bers in the State.
About 250 girls are expected to en
roll for the girls’ course, one repre
sentative from each club is allowed
to attend, and where one club in a
i county does not send a representa
) tive, two representatives may be sent
from another club. Miss Wallace
, states that a great many counties
have been heard from, and many are
applying for the privilege of sending
an extra representative. Represen
i tatives are enrolled from as far west
i as Buncombe, Henderson and Tran
ll sylvania counties, and as far east as
r Pasquotank and Perquimans.
Five courses of study will be offer
, ed although no girl will be allowed
to take more than two. The courses
| having ihe largest registration at
f this time is Food Study, which will
I' include table service and etiquette,
and the fundamentals of meal plan
-1 r.ing and demonstration of a model
breakfast, dinner, and supper; and
recreation, which will include the
study of games, stunts, yells and
songs.
A course in clothing will be offered
which will teach the technique of
' sewing as worked out in a uniform
drees of white. Room Improvement,
as tela led a girl’s bedroom, will
be studied in anothei course, with
special attention to color, arrange
ment of furniture and A <■ mt :
course • <r boys ar.d girls will be of
i sered in poultry.
; The rh in rocrcafio:; is L by
offered for the first time and it is i
designed to develop bolter lead ”v>
for commuunity recreation, and to
The whole entire treatment is the
! diet, and proper rest. This can be
given right here in our own section.
We also have ingredients from our
pine forest—if property used in the
treatment of the T. B.’s —would be
just as effective as anything that
could be done to help kill out the
terras of this disease, if properly
used. I knew a young man several
years ago, that was given up to die.
This young man used nothing but j
\ certain ingredient from our old field j
pine, and today that young men has j
become well and grown to old age, and |
is well and hearty. I also knew an- 1
other young that was given up to die,
and the only thing he did was to take
the proper exercise, proper diet and
rest, and today—thirty-five years ago
he was a dead man—now is is about
ixty ar.d weil and hearty. The T.
j B.’s can be cured if taken hold of in ;
time, and the treatment is not a j
costly one and should he in reach of!
every one affected with it.
1 would like to hear from some one j
on this subject—some doctor —and let
, him tell what he thinks of such an
| institution in or near Zebular.
We have many beautiful sites with
i in two miles of here, and the instilu
! lion would not endanger the itihabi
! ti nts of our town,
j We could have in connection with
; this institution a department for j
j treatment of rheum:;.ism. We hate
all the necessary ve- rimion growing
j around car section thai is a w*-::der
;ul remedy for the treatment of
rheumatism. Vs he not use ii in the
proper way and relieve the suffering.

• a few experienced pe >le to prove mu
j assertion, if I can get a few iiw.ej
J ested parties to help me, 1 will

Give your views through The
j Record, and let’s see if we can’t start
! omething that will help those suffer- ,
ling .vith these two above diseases, f
I and at a nominal cost.
The idea is a good one and I know
| that if put into operation, thousands (
j can be relieved of these diseases, if j
not permanently enured. Take the j
matter under consideration and give!

; HOW DOES A FARMER ACT?
Among its 5,000 employes—the word
j of the Associated Press for this—the
j Department of Agriculture failed to
| find a man who knows how to act the j
! part of a farmer in educational films. !
| Several candidates were tried out, j
hut their antics ruined the picture, i
Then officials went back to the farm j
and hired a regular farmer. But when
he got be fore the camera he was over
come by stage fr : ght. Finally the di
rector engaged l. professional actor,
who has never worked v. day on the!
farm and he played the part perfect- j
ly.

should be entitled, “Smiling Through

j London Poyn Dearly
i’jr Us .Oayj of . or;
Th<» Infinite variety of English
weather has no worse plague than f< g
it is/said, and apart from the discom
fort caused file actual loss sufTen <M»y
the community through the fog is said
to be immense. The London Nation
mid Athenaeum quotes the ’’Smoke
Abatement society” as putting the fig
ure at $5,009,090 for one clay, and
tiiis weekly observes, according to the j
Literary I>igest:
“Tiiis may lie an excessive estimate,
hut there can lie no doubt that it would
pay the nation to spend a great deal
of money to remedy the evil, espe- j
dally when we remember that even on
fogless days we allow sunlight of in- j
finite value to be intercepted by the
i pall of smoke which overhangs our
! great towns.
“The climax of absurdity is reached
! when we have to organize special sun
-1 light treatment, in some cases, with
rays artificially generated, in order to
cure diseases c aused by tiiis unnatural
darkness. The classic instance of
Pittsburgh proves that the evil can he
remedied once a community Is really
alive to its seriousness.
“There tire considerable difficulties
| to be faced, of which the most difficult
j to deal with would almost certainly be j
that incorrigible offender, proud in evil
j doing, tite domestic lire; but there are
j few social reforms which would more
fidelity produce a rich harvest In in
’rea.-ed health and happiness for tin*
irdinary citizen."
Method of Obtaining
New Plant From Old
A simple method of propagating tlie
rubber plant is by mossing. A branch
jis selected with ripe wood, or in tlie ;
ease of a lanky bid plant with a long, j
bare stem the top may be rooted and
cut off, in either case making use of a j
duster of leaves that will make a well- .
shaped young plant.
Make a slanting cut upward half |
way through the stem with u sharp
knife. Slip a match or other small
stick to hold the wound open. Then
| wrap moss around it. You can got a
"jittie sphagnum moss from any florist
seedsman. It should make a knob
stout as big as one’s fist. Tie it in
t \ce with string and keep it moist but
Ih dripping wet. In a few weeks 1
Ifgt.Vi'ny new roots will have been formed
fjust above the cut. Then the moss
j an be removed, the stem severed at a
point below tlie roots and the plant
potted in the usual way.
The operation is best performed in
I ' room where the temperature remains
| at nearly 7(> degrees and where there
j is considerable-moisture in the air; in
other words, the kitchen.

Weight of Air
Tito poet writes of “trifles light as
stir,” and we often talk of “airy noth
; trigs,” but the atmosphere which sur
\ rounds our planet and accompanies it
! in its journe.vings through space is
cot so light as we often imagine. Its
i average pressure is 15 ’pounds to the
! square inch.
’i lie barometer, as its name implies,
is an atmosphere weigher, and on the
varying weight, noted over large areas,
defend our daily weather forecasts. A
change of tin inch in tlie height of the
mercury column means a change of
atmosphere weight of half a pound
per square inch on the earth’s surface,
so that even a change of one-tenth of
an inch in the barometer represents j
eighty-eight thousand tons per square I
mile. A change of an inch over tfiV j
land area of the British Isles signifies
the colossal total of considerably more j
than one hundred thousand million
tons of air.
Art of Dining Oat
Dining out is an art. It is not learned j
in a day; and as the right guests at a
j table are as important its the food and !
drink if not more so —care must be
taken in their selection, writes Charles
Hanson Tow no, in Harper’s. The
hostess who gives no thought to the
placing of those around her board is a
social fool She does not deserve e' en
the modicum of success. For when i
people are to he intimate with one an
other for two hours, imprisoned at an j
inelastic table, there is a serious aspect
of the situation which requires fore
eight and a profound knowledge of hu
man nature. Many dinners fail be
cause there has been no diagram made
as spiritual needs.
Queer “Felicitation”
Ignorant of English, a Frenchman
wished to telegraph his congratula
tions to an English friend on his mar- 1
Huge.
He wrestled wtih the dictionary until
tlie happy couple were fairly on their
hoiyymoon, and by that time he had
evolved the following; “May you be |
very happy in the workhouse:”
His friend was about to demand an
explanation, when it dawned upon him
that what was meant was: “May you
be happy in tin* union.” [For the ben
efit »f American readers it should be
stated that all English workhouses (or
institutions for the poor) are known as
union workhouses.]
