Ti Tims pi TONSILS SOINB GUI About two thousand school children who arc handicapped by diseased ton sils and adenoids will be given relief through Opera Jons in emergency hos pitals operated by the State Board of Health during the next four months, says the Raleigh Times. The first clinic of this season be gins at Windsor, in Bertie county, on Tuesday, continuing for four days. Twenty or more children will reeevs needed operations. The clinic will be continued prob ably through September. Eleven have been definitely scheduled as follows: Bertie county at Windsor, Mav 1*1; 'Martin county at Williamsion, May 26; Stokes county ai Danbury, June 1; Ashe county at Jefferson, June H, Al leghany county at, Sparta, June 15; Watauga county at Boone, Juno 22; A vary oounty at Newlan, June '.’It; Mitchell county at Bakersville, .fnly C; Yancey county at Burnsville, .lul' 13; Madison county at Marshall, July 20; Alexander county at Taylorsville, July 27. The series of clinics beginning this \ weeks marks the beginning of the eighth year of this particular piec > of public health work. The plan .was orginated by Dr. <}. M. rooper, now acting state Health officer, and first tried out in 1910. A compline emer gency hospital is set up in school, church, or fraternal hall, with a corps of eight nurses, nn anaethetist, a specialist ns operator, and an order ly. A nominal fee is charged when the parents of the children are able to pay, otherwise the operation is per formed free. The children are taken care of over nigh- in the hospital with the best of medical and nursing ser vice constantly available. During the past eight years a total of 12,108 children have been operate-* upon successfully. No phase of the work of the board has proved so pop ular as this, which makes available the opportunity for remedying defects seriously affecting the physical con dition of the children and handicap ping their progress in school. The anaethetist this year with the hospital unit is Dr. Lois Boyd Gnw, assistant physician, at the North Carolina College 'for Women at Greensboro. The specialists per forming the operations are secure.! from the profession, in territory ad jacent to the clinic points.

The area, involved is about one mile long and 1,500 feet v/ide. More than St!,000,000 has been expended in fight ing the five. The tonnage of coal con sumed '.hy this “king” of mine fires run a.s high ns 11,000,000. The coal area embrai Tog (lie .-cone of rite fire is owned by the Lehigh Coal & Navigation company, founded in IS20. Summit Hill lies in the Panther Creek Valley in what is known as t!ic a.nthraeile regions. It was gommon in the days before the Civil War to have large stoves at the bottom of the shapes for the com fort of. the men. Hot coals miked with unite,* from one of these ."loves war* shoveled into a Wooden car which was cstie'cssly left in an old gangway. The fire Was well under way when it was discovered. Water of No Use There was little, if any, experience then--in fighting .mine fires. The ot.lv method employed was to flood the place. This was done, but on pumping out the water it was found that the fire had pained considerable headway and showed plainly that water was of little list* in combating it. Then w.Tt such an abundance o? i coal, the vein here being fifty feet | thick, and many of tin* workings be-* ing under-developed, it v as felt the ( Wre would burn itself out in time. It1 was decided to abandon the old slope and rink a new slope (No. 2) farther west. With the development of the new slope passed the glory of Summit Hill as r. mining town. In fighting the fire in the early ’60's an open cut was made which seemed to isolate it for many years. EvontioMy the fire traveled past this cut into the coal areas beyond. The next method used was sinking six-inch diame.ee bore holes, spaced twenty-five feet in each direction, across the basin west of the fire to establish a barrier 250 feet wide and extending from the outcrop on the north to a point where a water seal in the south would prevent the spread of the fire. Fine silt or coal dirt mix ed with water was run into the bore holes to fill the crevices and openings in the coal seam and the lock overly ing it, thus creating a hairier which, it was believed, would cheek the fire. It failed. Huge Wall Built The next attempt was the sinking of a 12-foot gap 100 feet into the earth, which was lined with concrete and the intervening space filled with clay, making a fire wall 700 feet long. The fire traveled so rapidly that it A WOMAN’S ADVICE! I Columbia, S. C. — “I was suffering with feminine weakness which ilevel opeo aner motner liootl.

Brum mitt, who ruled informally upon the matter when it was called to his attention in response to a re uuest in Lee county. The registra tion books for the June primary close next Saturday. Former Attorney General Manning ruled that if an applicant for.regis tration for a primary will become lit years of age before the general election, he is entitled to be register ed for the primary, and this still seems to be good Jaw though that ruling was made in 1922, ami the 192-’ legislature made some amendments that sePm to indicate it had in mind (hat a voter at the June primary 1 a Hint be 21 years old at the time he Voter. From time immemorial it has been the custotA to permit minors who will be qualified to vote in the pie ced ng primary, anti the custom lias been extended to include candidates for election. In the case of the can didate, the qualification for once docs not become material until the time lor induction into office, but in the case of voter the time of voting de termines the time for testing his, qualification. The State primary law requires that only legal voters or those who would be legally qualified to vote in the general election can vote in the primary election, but in case of the four months provision a literal com pliance is an impossibility as the pri mary comes more than four months before the general election. The better legal opinion, and that is the opinion adopted by the Attor ney General, bolds that the time of voting determines the time when a voter must be qualified to vote In the case of a minor, he is permitted to vote only by reason of the fact that in every way in which it is hu manly possible for him to qualify he , Is qualified to vote,' and it is only the age disability, for which he is in no ivise responsible, that exists. ^ The constitution provides that if a ,'oter has moved from one precinct to another precinct in the State and iias not begU in the last precinct long enough \.f vote, then he may go back to his former precinct to vote, and this eny'ies to primaries as well as to flections. Othjr legal disabilities such as denying the being of Almighty God or conviction of a felony apply to pri mary elections a:; well as general .''lec tions. The legal requirements for voting in the primary arc exactly the same as for a general election with the exception of the fact that a minor who will become of age before the general election may vote in the primary. There is the party pledge that is required to be taken in the primary, blit this has nothing to do with the qualifications of the voter.

THAT is the statement of six famous cooks who have just com pleted a practical cooking test of the Perfection Stove. AM six agreed in praising the Perfection highly for its baking ability, as well as for its general performance. “Speaking of cakes, half the making is in the baking.’* said Miss Rosa Michaclis, New Orleans, domestic science specialist. Delicate Angel Food “An even temperature must be inairir. tained while an angel food and other cakes are baking,’1 added Miss Mar garet A. Hall, nutrition expert of the Battle Creek College of Home Ecomi* mics. “When 1 baked cakes in the Perfection oven 1 used a standard, portable oven, thermometer as a check. I'hc flame djd not creep or crawl. You can depend on the Perfection (iamc to remain as you set it.” “My orange cakes and devil’s foods were delicious,’’commented Mrs. Kate B. Vaughn, Los Angeles, household economies director. “The air circu lation in the Perfection oven seems perfect. All excess moisture was carried away.” “It’s the ‘live heat' of the Perfection Oven which brings such good re sults,” said Mrs. llorcr, famous Phila delphia cook. “The Perfection oven is so roomy that there is roorp for several cakes at a time,” said Mrs. Belle DeGrai, San Francisco. "And, through the glass door of the oven you can see just how they are baking. No'need to open the door and lose any heat.” Miss Luc^ G. Allen, of the Boston School of Cookery, commented on the visible oil supply. You cap see,” she remarked, “whether you have enough for your cooking. If not, it’s eas'y to refill the Perfection reservoir without soiling your hands.” High Praise These are just a few of Perfection’s good baking points which tbe six ex pert cooks praised highly.
