PROTECTIVE S
? V : i v - ' ? ' ? |
Every important organ within
your body has Its own protective
covering. The heart has the "peri
cardium," a sac or bag In which it
swings rhythmically without fric
tion.
The lungs are enveloped by the!
"pleura," which guards the delicate)
lung-structure from the chest-wall!
? ? very necessary protection.
Then, the "capsule' 'of the liver? i
and of the kidneys. Too, the "peri
toneum," enclosing the bowel? and]
so on. Inflamation of any of these!
envelopes is a serious condition, j
Pericarditis, pleuritis, peritonitis
all are very serious conditions, re
quiring the skill of your best phy
scians. To hire a "rubbing-doctor"
here, might cost one his life.
Last of all, I want to mention the
meninges ? coverings of the brain
and spinal cord. Both encased
strong, bony structure for protec
tion, are covered with the meninges j
for greater protection. Meningitis ? j
and peritonitis are among our most
dangerous diseases, as any doctor
will tell you.
Inflammation of the meninges ?
meningitis ? gives us "sleeping-sick
ness" now threatening our country,
mostly In the large cities. People
get worn down by privations or ex
cesses and are stricken.
Watch your step these trying
times. Get plenty of sleep; do not
eat too much, especially for sup
per; refrain from worry as much
as possible. The covering of the
brain is not much thicker than this
sheet of paper. But when inflamed,
this membrane is a death-dealing
conflgration. ... I dread to en
counter meningitis ? and peritonitis,!
I believe, more than any other af-j
flictlons of the race.
AN OLD FRIEND
Whom should it be but the OYS
TER . . . here in the winter season!
The succulent, edible, old bivalve ?
prised so most everybody can afford
him. ... By the way, I have an
aged neighbor who believe the Bible
forbids the oyster as unclean! He
should read Peter's vision, reported
in Act. X-15. But the good old fel
low doesn't.
So far as the flavor of the fresh
oyster is concerned ? well, I have al
ways felt a need of the fine de- j
scriptiv* adjectives! Imagine a
"half-dozen" oyster stew for sup
per, some crispy winter evening for
supper ? when you are tired! You'
will know what I mean.
n>e oyster contains iodine, iron,
Mme, phosphorus, copper, glycogen
and vitamins ? all easily digested.
What an array of valuables! Then,
the good, whole milk of the stew!
I do not need to write any more,
do I?
Our greatest scientific institutions
have studied and approved the oys
ter as human food; then our great
oyster-growing industrialists have
improved the methods of cultivating
and growing oysters, until practical
ly all danger is abolished in their
free use.
?Long an enemy of mixtures and
combinations in food. I do not see
the need of oyster-salads and scal
lopings and "dressings' 'if we get
actual benefit from oysters as food.
Often these combinations^ are diffi
cult of digestion, and the important
ends sought are defeated. Prepare
your bivalves as nearly "plain" as
possible ? there can be nothing gain
ed by adding starches and highly
appetizing condiments, which urge
too heavy indulgence in a good
thing.

Old Game, New Rules
Eyes of the world are almost liter

Why the Sudden
Change to Liquid
Laxatives? j
.
Doctors have always recognized the
value of the laxative whose dose can
be measured, and whose action can
be controlled.
The public, too, is fast returning
to the use of liquid laxatives. People
have learned that a properly pre
pared liquid laxative brings a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of a liauid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. It forms no habit; you
need not take a "double dose" a day
. or two later. Nor will a mild liquid
laxative irritate the kidneys.
fjspy^
The wrong cnlhariic may keep you
constipated as long as you keep on
using it.
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a
prescription, and is perfectly n/e.
Its laxative action is based on senna
? a natural laxative. The bowels will
Qot become dependent on this fortn
of help. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
is at all druggist*. Member N. R. A.

Statese these days. The National
Recovery Act Is a popular topic from
Tokio CO London. And there is much
to talk about.
Already the NRA has produced
gratifying results. Some enthusiasts, j
violently reacting from the dark
days of the past three years, unhesi
tatingly proclaim that the Blue
Eagle, emblem of the new deal is in I
reality the Blue Bird of Happi
ness, thinly disguised. Happy days,
they sing, are here again.
But, at the risk of being pigeon
oled as a grouser, let us venture the
observation that recovery is far from
being a fact achieved. Happily it is
true that business throughout Amer
ica is improving, but the long pull
is certainly ahead.
Signing codes of ethics and busi
ness practices is important, but not
enough. Abuses as ancient as trade
itself are not to be eradicated by the
swish of a flowing pen. Human na
ture can be altered, but it is not go
ing to be changed by a miracle.
Neither President Roosevelt nor
General Johnson is Aladdin.
The acid test is going to come
after the fanfare has died, after j
the parade is past. It will come I
when the wheels of the new mach-!
inery begin, creakingly at first, to
mesh and to turn. Then every sign
er of a code will in his own way
meet his own temptation to evade it
by playing fast and loose with regu- j
Rations governing wages, hours, and;
practlcs. mien each consumer must
decide whether he or she will forego
the saving of pennies or dollars by
buying from those who obseive the
spirit of the act instead of from
those who do not.
The new deal has changed the
rules of the game, but no one is ex
cused from playing, and playing
hard. There is nothing magic about
the NRA, it is man made. Sound
principles of buying and selling
goods for profit are just as applic
able as ever they were. Men and
women will continue to be attract
ed and courteously offered. The
NRA has brought no moratorium on
keen thinking, analytical Judgment,
decisive action.
The rules have changed, but not
the game.? Rotary Magazine.

A Modern Gunga Din
An ex-convict called on a restau
rant keeper in Marshall Michigan,
last week and paid fifteen cento to
the proprietor of the eating place
explaining that several years ago
when he was a fugitive from justice,
and eluding t*ie police, he was des
titute, and that he went into the
man's restaurant, and he credited
him for a cup of coffee and a dough
nut. After serving his term, and
getting in a position to pay the
Marshall restaurant keeper for his
hospitality, he decided that he could
do nothing more fitting than go
back and pay the fifteen cents, even
though the favor was extended years
ago.
We have an idea that this Is one
ex-convict who is honest. The news
dispatch did not say for what crime
he was In prison, but It does go to
show that good men sometimes slip,
and get into trouble, and js another
argument for the position which we
haw* always taken, that there is al
ways some good fti" every person ;
and it is practically Impossible to
crush out these good impulses. This
man may be an ex-convict, but like
Kipling's Gunga Din, he is a darn
sight better than a lot of us who
owe far more than fifteen cents,
and yet, our consciences do not af
fect us in the least. ? Mocksville

Youth Not So Flaming
Many evidences are at hand to
show that the young people of 1933
are looking ahead with a clearer
notion of "what it's all about" than
did their parents. They recognize
froth for what it is.
A smart magazine, popular only
a few years ago with college stu
dents, has, in the vernacular, "fold
ed up" for want of suport. The
football hero of yesteryear isnt
lionized quite so much as he was.
Why? "We see him in ' the class
room," one young lady smilingly
told an inquirer. Athletics are in
creasingly regarded as means of ac
quiring personal enjoyment and
health and not as public spectacles
alone. In short, a new youth, not
quite so incandescent as his older
brother or sister, is emerging from
these late depression days.
The plain fact of the matter is,
however, that the whole world is
getting over a giddy headalche,
brought on by the world war. It is
seeing more clearly than it did. The
response to the national recovery act
is in itself testimony of a growing
understanding of the. troubles of
economic and social health. News
papers are printing less news on
"sex money, and crime" to make
space for news on science, business,
religion, and education. Labor con
troversies are being settled more
and more by arbitration and less and
less by violence and bloodshed. In

Hot-Weather Shirt
Elizabeth City. ? W. O. Saunders,
militant Elizabeth City editor, has
other claims to distinction. Several
years ago he attempted to set he
fashion for men's warm-Y?eather
clothing by appearing on the streets
in pajamas. This summer he had a
tailor design a special hot-weather
shirt. The shirt had no sleeves, no
back and no tail, and was pronounc
ed ideal for summer wear.

SAVING
Friend to movie house manager ?
Well, how's business at your thea
ter?
Manager? Why, man, we turned
people away at last night's show.
Friend ? Q'wan, you dont mean it.
Manager ? It's perfectly true.
There were only eight people who
came to the performance and we
figured it would save money to give
'em their money back and call the
show off.
CONFIDENCE
There is a noticeable increase In
confidence that the Roosevelt plan
will "pull the country out of the
hole." Some doubters are "waving
wands," according to Secretary Wal
lace. The Secretary declares that
temporary methods will improve the
situation. The policy of the Ad
ministration he says is for long
term planning.

Long Look
"Supply a ntf demand, political
pressure and the long look ahead"
has been discussed by Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace. Iv$r. Wallace
belongs to the group of public lead
ers who believe that the agricultural
situation must be cured before the
nation can pull out of its difficul
ties. He has lots of good company
sharing this belief.
VIOLATORS
V __ ?
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
named sixteen corporations which
he says are violating the codes sign
ed up with the National Recovery
Board. He threatens strikes and
walk-outs in order to compel obe
iience to the law and adherence
to the principles of the National Re
covery plan. Apparently some of
the people who signed the codes j
bad their lingers crossed. Appar
ently, also, Mr. Green is supposed
to stop strikes and walk-outs In
stead of promoting them. The Gov
ernment has arranged to back up
propoer demands of labor by en
forcing the rule and regulations
provided by Congress. ,

Questions Answered
At State College
Question: What causes chickens
to pull out their feathers and how
can this be corrected?
Answer: This trouble is caused by
what is known as the depluming
mite. The parasite burrows into the
skin of the birds and causes con
siderable irritation with the result (
that the birds pull out the feath
ers. To destroy this mite the birds
should be dipped in a solution con
taining 12 ounces of flowers of
sulphur and six ounces bf well
dissolved laundry soap to each five
gallons of tepid water. Give the
treatment on a warm day and be
sure the solution reaches the skin.
Question: How much silage will
one cow consume during the winter
feeding?
Answer: This depends upon the
length of time the animal is to be
fed. Ordinarily a cow will eat about
three pounds of silage a day for
each 100 pounds of live weight. The
weight of the cow In hundred
pounds multiplied by three will give
the amount of silage pounds con
sumed m one day. This amount
multiplied by the number of days
the animal is to be fed will give
the amount of silage to be stored
for each cow.
Question: Is it too late to dust
cabbages and collards with calcium
arsenate for worm control?
Answer: If the cabbages are well
advanced it would be better to ap
ply the Pyrethrum dust rather
than the arsenate but. if the arsen
ate is applied, there would be no
danger from the poison. Either dust
can also be applied to collards but,
as the collard is not headed as much
as the cabbage, the calcium arsen
ate should be used.
