family CTCKi ?ht DCCICR; JOHN JOSEPH GAINBMf 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. o Old Game, New Rules Eyes of the world are almost liter ally turned towards the United 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. Strike The "EAGLE" And You Shrike Me! 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. o 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 Enterprise. ? o 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.

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. o ? 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. , Timely Farm 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. perfect complexion in any light CVEN in the glare of *" brilliant, unflattering sunlight, Mavis Face Pow i ? r . . i aer gives a perrect petal- i soft complexion.
