COPELAND, M. D. Hnitod Stale* Senator from New York. Former Commissioner of Uenllh Neu York City NO I so many yearn ago the curative power of the sun’s rays on certain cases of tuberculosis wan ^accidentally dis covered, and this led to exhaustive study and re search regard ing the action of theae rays on t h • human body. We all know what happens when a portion of the body is erposed to the rays of the sun. The skin will at first turn red, and if the ex posure is con tinued, sunburn will result. Ur. Copctmod .Ordinary sunburn by the ran b rays may not be dange-nous, but in the therapeutic application of the sun ray, with one of the sun ray lamp*, arret care rturokl be ex ercised. Genera) exposure of the body . to, the run ray shonld be avoided, an dangerous effects may follow, which would prevent the ap plication of subsequent treatments. It a portion of the body—at first one leg and foot, perhape,—is ex pound to the direct rays for from ten tn fifteen minutes dally, a pigmenta tion commonly known as tan will appear. )f on the following days other email arias of the body are exposed, gradually the s'dn will take on a brown tint. Usually a marked improvement of the general health follows such treatment, Sunlight not only acts upon the skin. but stimulates the blood ves sels, and thus sends the blood in a more forceful stream through foe body. The blood becomes richer end the red blood cells increase in num ber. The ability to resist Infection is Increased, and tha tmmuntang properties of tha system are strengthened. Weak itruecJee become stronger under foe sun's rays, and foe internal orirann perform their work with (treater ease. Tha application of sun rays, either by direct rays of the sun or by one of tha sun ray lamps, has been found very beneficial In children whose linn* conditions deprive them of the advantages of retting out into the sunshine. After treatment these children have shown improvement both In physical appearance and In disposition. The beneficial elements of natural sun rays cannot penetrate ordinarv window glass. A special type of glass must be used if foe treatment by actual sunlight is to be given indoors. Tuberculosis and rickets are the two diseases In which sun rays have made almost miraculous cures. Rickets Is a deficiency disease, brought on not. only by improper food, but also by living in dark and unsanitary homes. Ruring the winter months, or seasons when the weather is cold and damp, many cases of rickets develop. Anemia, which Is common both in tuberculosis and rickets, improves markedly under the sun treatment. The bones become stronger, and iheir content of mineral matter in creases. By all means get out into the sun shine all you can. and take sun baths in a conservative way. It is inadvisable, howover, to overdo the sun treatment. Great primary ex posure of the body at one time, or too long periods of treatment, may prove debilitating and even danger ous to foe enthusiast.

Col.ClevelandWas Cruel On Tories uc M- . .-.sisongp i Another of a >eties of arti* 'ensure to 'nr sportsman and protection to our. health. Our game, valuable to a degree beyond estimation, is one of our greatest protector^ By observation It has been found that wild life Is dependent on the iciest for exist - ance wh'le in return the forest owes wild life a debt for continue, tion and protection. Humanity o ves its existence to the rbundance o' wild life and forest This forms a vivid picture of the Creator's inter tion of preservation of all things created by Him. W: should protect all things placed litre for our health, enjoyment and gain. The remuneration is thra° fold. We g->,n life, profit and enjoyment. Preservation of our forests de pends mainly upon our protection of Insect-eating birds. Our crop; , too. are greatly protected by tho e birds. Insects readily destroy our valuable timber when they attack it. Birds feed upon these insects and vegetation. Biris and animals are responsible for much of the pro cess of reforestation. They con sume seeds of various trees a.'d shrubs and these sfcyi'-. are deposit ed where they range Some seeJs are enveloped In a gummy sub stance which causes them to stick to the feet and plumage of birds and are thus carri-m various dis tances before being i.berated to go about the process of germinating and growing. Cutting the fores'.-; has done ma terial harm to the game and birds. The woodland affor Is a home for all wild game and protects die game fish. Along the banks of streams water planu. are covered with very minute Invcts on which fish feed. The clearing of forests is unfavorable to the growth of these. Open fields offer lcai resistance to heavy rains. The water, moving with much force .carries a certain amount, of soil into the water courses causing the streams to be come muddy and often overflowing them. In this way the live matter on which fish feed is extensively destroyed Many fish cannot thrive In muddy water and will seek clear er streams. Wooded land filters much of the rain water by way of seepage before it flows into the streams. Among the wild game. birds should oe classed a-, one of the greatest assets to the farmer. WUn out them our crops would suffer much damage from Insects and worms. Birds find their natural food in these pests which, if allow ed to live, could do mote harm than storms and droughts ever do. ^Birds also proteri our orchards from pests. They save our forest timber from inroads of Insect pests. This means millions of dollars sav ed to the owners of timber alore Clearing of the ns on al habitations of birds Is driving th°m from us. To gain more tillable soil, we are driving out feathem. friends from their haunts and forcing ourselves to look to other means of combat ing the pests. Thus we are apt to incur expenses amounting to more than the revenue from the extra cleared land. Besides, who cannot enjoy see'ng the beautiful feathered tribe and hearing their cheery songs and calls? The pleasure pro vided for us by God cannot be re placed by man-created pleasures. Wild animals also fnrnish a share of protection to the fields and for ests, Some of them feed on rodents and other destructive forms of life. Many fur bearing mimals are val uable for their skins and some o; them for their meafs. This is a source of revenue for trappers and hunters. Our greater forests are havens for wild animate and a para dise for sportsmen. Americans have been slow to rec ognize the value of conservation cf our natural resource. Now', they are becoming seriously impaired land are in danger of extinction. Many states are sending a need oi conservation and are making a con certed move in tha‘ direction. Conservation of wild animals, birds and fish has be*'t. looked upon as a fad originating with those having perhaps, on’y a sentimental interest. Recent years have proton the great value of game. We are realizing we must mike amends for the mistakes of thu pioneer. To him. the resources were unlimited and he was happy ar.d content to take all he could out of his envir onment. always moving on to fresh fields He has left us denuded and disorderly landscapes; and. in some of us. a willingness to tolerate them Many of us still ti ink. as tile pioneer, in terms of cash returns in a given length of time instead of the civilization of a century. It would be difficult u> estimate the value of a whole-hearted movement to conserve game. In early days, man considered game valuable only as a food. Through the years, ag riculture was developed and ani mals became domesticated. The worth of game was reduced in p.-o portion. Today, game is not so nec essary for food, but is still a valu able item in that respect. Along with the ji ogress of civ ilization, natural contact with the out-of-doors ha-, decreased; there fore, outdoor attractions are bcconv in increasingly benehcial and nec essary as a diversion. We are now limiting our hunting and trapping seasons to only a few months each year. This gives jl! sportsmen and trappers an equal chance and, at the same time, gam-' is allowed an unmolested period for reproduction and development. A supply of game makes land far more valuable. By furnishing recreation and diversion, it heirs to solve so cial problems. It makes a more at tractive community tn which to live. These are only practical as sets. We should nmember that nature’s creatures have an esthetic value which cannot be substituted In our o-.vn state game Ihw$ have been formed and refuges aim preserves established. In this, North Carolina has set a record that Is practically unequalled. Fire and game wardens are appointed to en force the law, protect our forests and game against careless and mali cious persons. Truly, all out-of-doors is a heri tage to keep, protect and enjoy. Toluca And Knob Creek Late News Large Crowd A* £ion HiJI Memor ial. Peoule visiting About. ^Special to lac Star.) Toluca.

Edwards Candidate for Re-election to the Legislature THE MAN WHO BROUGHT ECONOMY IN GOVERNMENT In the Vast legislature I honestly tried to represent the people of Cleveland county to the best of my ability. I wa in Raleigh five months—3 months without pay—in an effort to lower the cost of government and bring taxes down and feel 1 had a part in helping secure the greatest reduction of taxes—from 73c to 50c on $100 valuation—ever given the people. I fought the Sales Tax because 1 felt it was unfair to Cleveland county and this section of the State in particular and wrong in principle. I believe my experience will help me to be of better service next term and feel that experience will county a great . deal in the coming session. If re-elected I shall do my best to continue the policy of lowering taxes and shall again fight a sales tax, if proposed. Your vote and support will be appreciated. PUBLIC STATEMENT ON THE MAUNEY WAR RECORD MATTER To The Citizens of. Cleveland County: In justice to myself and all parties concerned, I desire to make a statement, after reading a statement appearing ovc - the name of Mrs. Hugh L.. Mauney, published in The Cleve land Star of May 6th. In the letter signed by Charlie (1. Grigg of his own fre '.<• will and accord, after having read the contents thereof and having been apprized of the purpose of same, there were two small errors. Instead of Mr. Hugh L. Mauney having been in the service fifty nine days in the R. O. T. C. at A. & E. Col lege, Raleigh, N. C., during the World War, he was in the unit of the Students Army Training Corps for a period of seventy days. According to the printed copy of his dis charge he entered October 1. 1918, the war closed November 11, 1918. So he was in said unit before the war closed only 42 days instead of fifty nine days and remained in said unit twrenty eight days after the war closed when he was dis charged. The name of Students Army Training Corps, as 1 am in* formed, was changed after the war to the Reserve Officer Training CorpB. So for all practical purposes, there is very little difference, if any in the organizations. Hence the only material error, if it is material, is that he was in the unit of Students Army Training Corps at A. & E. College eleven davs onger than was stated in the statement signed by Charlie G. Grigg. * mere was no intention to make any statement not bas ed on facts. A prominent member of the American Legion, in whom I had confidence, gave me the statement that Mr. Mauney was in service for only fifty nine days at A. & E. College. I understood him to say in the unit of the R. O. T. C. I am glad to make this correction and desire the people to know that he was a member of the Students Army Train ing Corps while a student at A. & E. College. Raleigh, N. C., for a period of forty two days instead of fifty nine days be fore the War closed and twenty eight days thereafter. My only purpose in preparing the previous statement was to give the military record of Mr. Maunev so that the people might judge for themselves whether or not Mr. Mauney was “ONE WHO PAID THE PRICE OF HEALTH I N DEFENSE OF OUR GREAT COUNTRY.” The truth is never “malicious slander.” The truth wrongs no one. And far it be from me who was not even in a Students Training Corps, R. O. T. C., in Camp or a soldier on the battlefield, to minimize or criticize any one’s service record. No one has » keener sense of appreciation for the services rendered by the American soldier than I. I am glad Mr. Mauney has thia service record. It en ables him to get free hospital treatment, support and care. And even though this service was rendered while a student uj college more than thirteen years ago, the government has wisely provided by an Act of Congress in 1930 for compen sation and hospitalization, under certain conditions, for dis ability that has arisen since the war and which was net caused by the service. Respectfully, D. Z. NEWTON.
