NEW CHURCH

In a session Of the Church
Conference on last Sunday night,
the members of the Roanoke
Rapids Methodist Church voted
unanimously for the erection of

comodation and is neither IN
keeping with the growth of the
Church and the Sunday School,
nor with the rapid progress Of
the town. Thorough organization
and definite plans for carrying
forward this movement of vital
Importance, not only to the
members of the Methodist Church
bnt to the entire community, are
now under way and shall be
vigorously pushed with the
ardent hope of ultimate compile
ton.

HOW TO AVOIC PNEUMONIA

Pneumonia kills over 25O0
North Carolinians annually. 1t
is now generally believed by the
medical profession that this
disease is carried in the secre-
tions of the nose, mouth and
respiratory tracts of those who
have it. Formerly it was thought
that nearly everybody, healthy
people and others, carried the
pneumococcus or germ that
causes pneumonia in the secre-
tions Of the mouth, nose and
throat, and that these germs
got in their work when ones
physical resistance is lowered.
This is no longer thought to be
necessarily true.
Now that we know more about
pneumonia, thanks to the Rookie
feller Institute of Medical Re-
search, we know better how to
avoid it. First of all, we know
every case of pneumonia should
be regarded as possible source
of infection. Since the disease is
infectious, we know that every
patient should be isolated as far
as possible, and communication
with other people reduced to a
minimum. Furthermore, all eat
ing and drinking utensils, hand
kerchiefs, clothing and bedding
should be kept separate and
thoroughly sterilized before be-
ing again put into general use.
This precaution should be con-
tinued for a month after the
patient is well.
Those in attendance or in
contact with pneumonia patients,
should refrain from promiscuos
kissing and cover the mouth and
nose when coughing or sneezing.
They should also avoid unneces-
sary visiting and mingling with
other persons.
Fresh air for the patient as
we'll as for the attenoants and
every one else, is one of the
greatest factors in both the
prevention and cure of the dis
ease. Pneumonia is frequently
called a foul air disease because
it is so frequently on account OF
lack of ventilation that the in.
fection is spread.

CHANGES IN FOOD
REGULATIONS
Mixed Flour May be Sold Without
Accompanying Cereal Substitutes

Raleigh, Feb. %. Easier and
more effective enforcement and
observance of the recent comb.
nation sale order Of the Food
Administration will result from
a new ruling of the Food Admin
stration which permits the sale
of mixed fours containing less
than 50% of v 1ite wheat flour
without the accompanyingacereal
substitutes which must be sold
with white flour, in the opinion
of State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page. This new ruling
which was just issued from
Washington, was welcomed with
unconcealed pleasure at the head
quarters of the State Food Ad-
ministration.
One of the obstacles to the
effective enforcement Of the new
orders has been the scarcity of
ceral substitutes. AS result of
the new order it is expected that
most of the flour mills Of the
State will put on the market a
mixed flour which may be sold
by itself and will thereby be able
to utilize for human consumption
an average of 20% more Of the
wheat grain than is used in the
ordinary flour. 1t is stated, for
instance, that a mixture ofap-
proximately 80 to 40 per cent
wheat flour with 60 to 70 per
cent of wheat shorts or middlings
makes a most acceptable bread
stuff, being more nutritious than
whitewheat flour and having a
distinctive flavor which appeals
to almost all consumers.
Merchants, both retailers and
wholesalers, having on hand
wheat flour and edible wheat
middlings or shorts will be per-
mitted to mix these products
themselves and sell without the
accompanying cereal substitutes.
This ruling will enable merchants
to utilize for human consumption
thousands of bags Of shorts and
middlings which they have in
stock at present. The mixture,
however, must contain less than
500 of wheat flour.
The utilization in mixed flours
of even $50 more of the wheat
grain will reduce the quantity of
cereal substitutes which will be
required for sale with wheat
flour one half since the combi-
nation sale order Of the Food
Administration was designed to
save 800 of our consumption of
white wheat -four.
