How To Keep
| Yourself Well

Hernia
/ would like TO have information
concerning hernia. 1t is on my left
side. Can 1t be cured without an
operation?
The radical cure of hernia is ac-
complished by means of an opera
ton. This operation is so well I'M
derstood at the present time that
very excellent results are obtained
by many surgeons throughout the
country. Unless there is some spe-
cial reason why you cannot submit
to an operation. l would urge you
to have your physician refer you to
a first class surgeon, so that you
may be examined and receive proper
advice. Excepting in treatment of
hernia in childhood, the wearing of
a truss or other appliance does not
cure the hernia. 1t merely holds
1t in place, and so gives relief.
Dark Teeth
/ have a daughter and a son. They
both have black teeth-in front. What
may be the cause and what can I
do to make the teeth white "A. B.
The dark color on the teeth is
probably due to a deposit, il there
is no decay. In either event, your
dentist will'apply the proper treat
ment. After that, the teeth can
probably be kept white and clean.

Governor Morrison and the

Raleigh, July 13.-Connties that
assumed thousands of dollars in or

for the year ending June 80, which
today represents the $65e,0O0 deficit

the shortage cannot be made good

of the counties that some action be
taken to relieve them of the burden
which they have assumed for the
State Department of Education is go

demand of the counties that someth-
ing be done for them. 's sss.-
Already Council of State members
have heard that the counties are not
satisfied but that in some instances
the teachers have not bsen paid for
the work they did two and three
months ago. In probably the majority
of the counties the county officials
went out and borrowed the money
but it is matter of record that GER
