ficials in Preventing Recur
rence of Epidemic
Attention is being called to the
vrevalences of spinal meningites
tliroughout the United States. In the
vast wide spread epidemics have oc-
cuvred throughout the country includ
ing both north and southern states.
In New York City there were many
cases and many children died ^ e
disease. At present there are indica
tions that next winter may produce
an epidemic. A number of cases are
scattered here and there which wUl
pr(>bably disapTVear and the
aecrease during the summer, but the
oisease may spring up again in epi
demic form next winter, Any cases
occuring in the spring s ou
promptly tre.1«ed and
says Dr. J .Symington, county healt
officer, and all contacts
During the months of January,
ruarv and March of this year we are
told in a letter from the State Board
of Health, Raleigh, there were o-
cases of this disease reported ^ t
Bureau of Epidemiology, State Board
of Health, as compared with 14 cases
during the same period of 1»^9-
Cerebro-spinal meningitis if a spe
cific infectious disease characterized
bv- inflamation of the cerebro-spinal
meninges and a clinical course of
great irtiegularity. Th«’e^re two
forms of meningitis, one of which is
due to the Diplococcus intracellulans
meningitidis (meningococcus) and
known as epidemic menmgitis or
spinal fever. The other form is spro-
adic in character and may be due to
the pneumococcus, streptc^coccus,
bacillus of influenza, typhoid bacillus,
colon bacillus, eitc. Epidemic menin-
gitis is probably always due to the
inening'ococcus. Pa;thologically, t e
two forms are practically alike; bac-
teiiolcgically, they are different. The
diagnosis, -therefore, diepends upon
the bacteriological examination of the
spinal flueid', nasal pharyngeal se-
ci etions.
“Le<t me urge those of you who as
sume responsibility for the public
health in your community,’^ says Dr.
Symington to attempt to secure spin
al punctures for every case of menin
gitis occurring in your community, I
.->ending the specimens to the labora- j
•tory for a diagnosis. When fluid;
<irawn from the spinal column is
cloudy in appearance, anti-meningitis
seium should be given at once without
waiting for a bacteriological exami-j
nation of the fluid. The serum can i
do no harm in cases due to other*
than the meningococcus, but will, in i
4nany instances, relieve the patient
i+‘ the infcetion is due to the menin- |
i^iococcus.’’ 1

Wise,” Says John Tathill
“Tried everything to kill them.
Mixed poison with meal, meat, cheese,
etc. Wouldn’t touch it. Tried RAT-
SNAP. Inside of ten days got rid of
all rats.” You don’t have to mix
RAT-SNAP with food. Eaves fussing,

lay it where rats scamper. You will
see no more. Three sizes, 35, 65c,

Pinehurst. North Carolina
The Home of Dependable Roofing
Nothing- has made more positive advances in recent years than
the material used in covering- roofs. Wood shingles for many years
prevailed in this country because they were cheap and rather easy
to handle. But they were open to some grave objections, danger
from fire being- perhaps the chief. From shingles to slate, to comp
osition shingles, to asphalt roofs, and many other devices. But in
recent years have come those asphalt combinations that offer
practically everything- the roof can need.

Is the New
Ruftex Shingle
Here is a new creation, in two remarkable colors, Gresham
Gray and Rugby Brown, roug-h i n appearance, thick, heavy, har
monizing with roug-h or cut stone, with brick, with wood.
The textured surface and the varied pattern, along- with the
economy and the durability of the Ruftex shing-le mark an ad
vance in roof construction.
This shingle will help to further mark Pinehurst and vicinity
as one of the most modern examples of village home construction
in this country.
