AGAINST SPREAD OF GRIPPE.
Health Bulletin Says Every Home
Should Have a Thermometer and
Temperature Kept Below 20.

For the reason that grippe or inf1u-
enza is now more or less prevalent
throughout the State, the State Board
CT Health is issuing bulletin calling
attention to number Of Thugs thataa
person can 90 10 prevent this disease.
The bulletin says that proper ventila-
ton, temperature and sanitation as to
Offices and places Of work nave mucl-.
e do with the spread of the disease,
i,.t that home conditions and the per-
oaaI care Of the body must be chiefly
,3lied upon to prevent it.
',GVeIheated and OvercrOWded
tones,' says the bulletin, (which lack
:,uni gnt and fresh air are ideal places
r.r this disease to spread. To avoid
E "A conditions. which often exist un~
consciously, it is necessary for every
home to have an accurate thermomc-
ter and it should be somebody's dWy
to watch that thermometer and never
let the temperature rise above 10 de-
crees. It woud be more healthtul to
keep it between 65 and 68 degrees.
"In most homes, the old fashioned
vyav of sweeping is abominaDIe. DUST
is the aeroplane of the m1cToDe. WOod
floors should be wiped up with olleo
cloths or mops and tackled. down car
nets should be cleaned with a vacuum
cleaner or swept after bits OF wet Da-
Der scattered over them"
ITO keep the skin and circulation In
nroner condition is the next important
step" says the bulletin. Light weight
clothing, fresh air in the bedroom;
and a cold spray about the neck and
chest in the morning usually renders
the skin resistant even to drousnES
Wet feet and thin soled SHOES are cor
dial invitations to grippe. Overwork

100 BARREL
FLOUR Mill
Henderson County Ideal Location for
Big Flour Min Using 500 Bushels
Wheat Per Day.
A PAYING PROPOSITION.

A representative of large machin-
cry company which is now placing ma
chinery in a -four mill at Asheville was
in the city a few days ago and explain
ed to a few interested gentlemen the
cost of installing and maintaining q
100 barrel pc rday mill in or near Hen
dersonville. .@
Some interesting facts and figures
were gathered at this meeting and pro-
baby a little more theoretical than
practical they will give some idea Of
| the profits of such an enterprice for
Hendersonville.
Out of so pounds of wheat about ~
pounds of -four is produced. The re-
naming 16 pounds, are made into
shorts and other by-products. At least
| 2 pounds is said to be lost in the
process. The present wholesale price
of -four 1-2 cents per pound would
mean a revenue for the -four of 81 SO
per 40 pounds and the revenue of the
shorts based upon cents per pound
making 48 cents per 16 pounds, giving
q grand total of $2,37 cents per bushel
of wheat.
/ "A 100 barrel mill would require 500
bushels per day of wheat it is said.
At the present market price of wheat
a profit of nearly 25 per cent gross
could be made and the running expense
is not a great item on mill of this
size.

This COUNTY'S
POSSIBILITIES
Kraut Factory Could be Made to Pay
Big Dividends i'm Hender-
son County.
. REAL CABBAGE COUNTY.

Henderson county is an ideal loca-
ton for a sour kraut factory" said. a
prominent citizen yesterday. There is
a possibility of hundreds OF acres being
available for the best cabbage ever
grown in the country.
Henderson county several years ago
became famous as cabbage growing
county. At nearly every state and
county fair where local cabbage was
exhibited prize was won. Not many
years ago cabbage head weighing
nearly 25 pounds won first prize in the
state of New York where the whole
country was competing.
The climatic conditions of this sec
tion make it particularly adaptab'- for
the cultivation of cabbage. The
greatest trouble was the marketing OF
this product and it is said to have
been the main reason of the slump in
the production in that cabbage being
perishable commodity it was a risky
problem in shipping.
Another reason for the reduction in
| recent years is said to be that other
! sections of the country placed cabbage
! on the market about the same time
Henderson county and caused the price
to drop. These other sections were
organized better than Henderson coun
| ty in marketing facilities.
The possibilities of a krout factor!
| located here and contracting with thu
farmers for so many acres in cabbagC
are. said to be of a great financia
! benefit.

WANT CITY
SCALES BUILT
Local Meat Market Owner Wants City
to Own Scales and Charge
Small Fee.
INSPECTOR OF MEASURES.

81 would like to see the city com
missioners create the Office of public
weigher and inspector and have a
standard set of scales in a convenient
place" said a prominent meat market
proprietor the other, day.
By charging a small fee, as many
private scales OWNERS do, the city
could soon pay for the eytra expense
of placing modern system.
|, 1t has been suggested that this Office
coull be combined with the duties of
one of the headsao aof the departments
already established and not be heavy
expense to the city.
1t is to the interest of all classes OF
people that weighing and measuring
bureau be established. A city insper-
tor of weights and measures, if en-
ployed, would be required to make in
! spections of all places where food and
fuel supplies are sold and also to ap-
pear unexpected and weight and
measure goods upon delivery to pur,
chasers. Such system it is stated
would practically insure actua
weights and measure.
The advantage of the city scales
would be great to all local markets
and feed stores. The farmers would
be better satisfied and feel that they
were getting correct weights.
1t is said that the other day farm
er brought COW to the market AM
had it weighed. He was not satisfied
with that weight and carried his GOV
to another scale and found variation
of 26 pounds. At the present cost o
meat difference OF this amount woult
soon count up.
The Hustler .refrains from namin;
the location of the scales for fear tha
all the farmers in the county woul,
insist on the heavy weight ones.
