"PETRIFIED" NEGRO
DIES IN AMERICUS
DOCTORS BAFFLED BY MALA-
DY; BELIEVE MANS DEATH
DUE TO SCLERODERMA.

AMERICUS, Ga.-Practically ev-
ery physician in Americas visited Mil
ton Adams, negro, who died Mon
day morning at his home here. The
negro, it was said, "petrihed," causing
his death Physicians who attended
him said that death was due to sclero-
derna, one of the most unusual all
ments known to medicine. Dr. w. S.
Prather, who has been practicing here
20 wears or more, had attended only
one similar case during his entire
practice. A number OF other physl-
clans who visited Adams had never
before seen a case of scleroderma. The
effect of the disease is to harden ones
skin and muscle tissues, thus event
ually causing death. In the case of
Adams the disease attacked especially
his throat and neck Death was due
directly to strangulation, caused by
the hardening tissues about the Negroes
throat. Adams was formerly soldier
and the disease, it is said, sometimes
results from strains or unusual expos
ure.

TERRIFYING METEOR
RAINS POISON GAS
EXPLOSION SKATERS WIN
BOWS AND DOOR ALMOST
OVERPOWERS PEOPLE.

ASBURY PARK, N. IA meteor,
discharging odorous gases, flashed
through space to the south of here and
disappeared in a thunderous roar,
frightening residents Of many coast
towns.
Window panes in residences in
Toms River were shattered by the ex-
plosion, and the gases, polluting the
atmosphere for more than quarter of
an hour, compelled the residents to
hold dampened handkerchief in their
nostrils. In Lakehurst many of the
buildings were shaken.
Lasted But Minute.
The atmospheric phenomenon is
said to have lasted for about a min
ute. Only a tiny streak of light at
first, it became beautifully colored as
it neared earth and at times appeared
to halt momentarily in space, adopt a
new course, then zig-zag back again.
The meteor fell into the sea, about
a mile off shore, at Seaside Park, thir-
ty-hve miles south of here, with an
explosion that shook residences and
threw spray to great height. Vol
umes of steam then arose, and, drift
ing ashore, nauseated many.

Eat Dirt for Health,
Says French Surgeon
DR.. Blob, of France, Declares Earth
Is Less Harmful Than Alcohol.

If you want to be really healthy
you must eat dirt. So says DIR. Blob,
famous French surgeon, who con-
siders that the starving Russians who
have been compelled to eat grass and
clay are receiving too much sympa-
thy. Earth is less harmful than alcohol,
he says; it is only question OF get
ting used to it.
Geophagists, as dirt eaters are call
ed, have been known from the earliest
times. Some soils in Russia, India and
other countries have always been
sought by the natives for their health
giving qualities, and in the territory
of Hola, in India, there is a black
earth that is used as sweetmeat
when mixed with small quantities OF
grass and leaves.
The time is coming when all our
food will be made from earth!
This startling statement is made by
Miss Herman, of Michigan University,
who declares that, in the future, when
man is hungry he will get shovel
full of earth and put it into machine
together with. concentrated essence OF
sunshine. He will then turn a handle
and wait by the spout to receive his
eggs and bacon, or whatever else ne
desires.
This food will be in the form OF
small lozenges, which will contain all
the ingredients of our ordinary food
and have the same taste and odors.

William Wngley Sees
Great Prosperity Ahead
Good Old American Dollar Coming
Back Into Its Own After Spree.


That business is improving in the
east and that this condition is spread
ing to the middle west by degrees is
the opinion of William Wrigley, jr.,
president of the William Wrigley, Jr.,
Co., Chicago.
The good old American dollar is
coming back into its own. People from
one end of the nation to the other are
getting around to the idea that the
only basis for real prosperity is an
honest days work for a fair days
wage.
The United States as whole has
been on business spree" for the past
FIVE years. Prices, up to recently, were
out of all sense of proportion for the
value received.
The greatest cure for hard times,
Mr.. Wrigley says, is to stop talking
about hard times, get to work and
keep money and goods circulating.
THE year 1921 was regarded as a
pretty bad period for lots of concerns
in the east and middle west" said Mr..
Wrigley. For us it was the best year
in the thirty years | have been in the
chewing gum manufacturing industry.
1--WE are spending $1,000 day this
year to push Wrigley's chewing gum.
THE judicious use of printers ink
is the greatest selling force in the
world. If you do business on a world
wide basis, or even in the locality en-
comprised within a few blocks, you
have got to keep the people interested
or you won't sell them your goods.

twenty-five Billion Pins
Consumed in u. S. Yearly
Output Rusts in Twelve Months and
Must Be Made Over Again.

Did you ever stop to think what be-
comes of the Z5,900,0O0,000 common
pins that are made and consumed in
the United States every year? 1t
would seem that the market would be
overstock with this continued enor-
nous output, but each year there
comes a demand for 25,000,O0O, 600
more. And they are made in fewer
than ten factories, most OF them in
Connecticut. ooo
One railroad alone uses 7000O,0OO
pins year. Laundries use lot OF
them. Every Office consumes a large
supply. So do manufacturers of shirts.
Museums and colleges use many to
mount specimens; fishing tackle re-
quires them; each political campaign
and business drive consumes large
numbers, and the housewife and dress
maker create other demands.
A machine, stamping out 1875 pins
a minute from brass wire, is used in
the manufacture. One operator tends
a battery of IL to IS machines. The
pins then are plated with tin or zinc,
dried and polished by being tumbled
about in hogsheads OF sawdust, and
stuck into papers by machinery.
What becomes of them? They rust,

Arrests made in Montana by fed

Of the SIT violation cases, $50 have
been brought in the federal court ano

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE FOR
EX-SERVICE MEN.

The government offers exserv1ce
men, through its insurance policies,
an opportunity to provide protection
for themselves in the event of total
permanent disability, and for their
dependents in the event of death, at
the lowest possible cost.
The u. S. Veterans Bureau is
charged with the responsibility of
conducting this service. Due to the
lack of personnel, it is impossible to
communicate personally with every
one of the three and a half million
persons whose government insurance
has lapsed. 1t is only possible, there
fore, to reach them through the pub
lic-spirited newspapers and individ-
uals.
The right to carry government in
surance is one benefit conferred upon
the veterans of the World War.
Lapsed term insurance can be rein
stated by filling out only one blank,
which includes a medical examination,
and the payment of two monthly
premiums, one for the month of
grace after the policy elapsed, and
one for the current month. This
amounts to only $1.40 for $1,000 for
a man 81 years of age, and slightly
less for those younger, and slightly
more for those older.
