phone rates.
In an order directly or indirectly
affecting the 100000 telephone
subscribers in the state, Utilities
Commissioner Stanley Winborne d.
rected the Southern Bell Telephone
company to show cause why its
rates should not be reduced be-
tween 20 and Is per cent.
The order is returnable on May

proximately half the subscribers in
the state.s Reports of companies
serving the remaining $4,000 sub
scribers are being studied and &C
ton on them is expected to follow
the hearing in the Bell case.
Commissioner Wlnborne said in
the order that after investigation
of the inventories and other data
furnished by the company 1T ap-
pears to the commissioner that the
income of the company is in excess
of a fair return upon a fair value
of its properties, and that its ex-
change rates are unreasonably high
in the city of Raleigh and through
Out the state and should be reduc-
ed"
Should a reduction be provided
for Raleigh, he said, rates of the
company at other exchanges in the
state shall be reduced according to
telephone population on the basis of
the reduction there.
Present residential rates and the
proposed reduction rates are: One
party. S3.25 and $3.50; two party,
$2.75 and 81; four party, S2.25
and $3.50; rural. $3.50 and 81.
Present business rates and the
proposed reduced rates are: One

all other complaints, will be refer

fic violation reported will be in

but it will be necessary to give
names and charges in order for the

The Thomas report, the admin

ants although it does name several
plantations on which violations are
alleged. The report explained the
names of tenants and share-crop-

The administration indicated it

IN
Prominent Specialist Tells Doctor.
Purgatipes Are Dangerous.

Atlantic City-Dr. J. Russell
Verbycke, Jr., consultant at Gar
field Memorial hospital in Washing
ton speaking before the specialists
who comprise the limited member
ship of the Gastro-enterlogical As
sociation said that an alarming in
~jcrease in the death rate from APP
pendicitis in this country was the
direct result of self-prescribed ply
sizes, in plain form or masked as pa
tent medicines.
He said that a further increase in
cases of perforated appendix was
to be expected as a result of 1.-THE
radio ballyhooing of purgatives dis
guised and camouflaged under
fancy names"
"Never take a physic when there
is abdominal pain that could pos
sibly be appendicitis" he said. ''In
twenty-five years | never have seen
a ruptured appendix except where
the patient had taken a purgative.
The promiscuous use of claimants
causes more deaths in appendicitis
cases than all other factors COM
Ibined. And l have seen so many
cases showing the amazing ability
of an appendix to withstand in
flammation and to recover, when
not further inflamed by physic,
that it confirms my belief that an
appendix will not rupture unless
thus goaded, if under proper treat
ment. Furthermore | never have
lost an unpurged patient by de-
laying operations. All this, Of
course, does not alter the fact that
the patient should be in the hospital
under close observation.
DR.. Verbrycke said that instead
of rising to sixteenth place among
the causes of death the mortality
rate of appendicitis should have
decreased because of more accurate
diagnosis, better living condition;
and the elimination of so many foe
of infection.
II believe our own anxiety to
reduce the mortality also has been
one of the causes of increasing ap-
tpendicitis DEATHS" he said. "The
factors on which to decide whether
to operate are the time elapsed
since the onset of the attack, che
patients age, whether he has taken
purgative and whether he is now
improving. In the first twenty
four hours operation is safe. In the
second it still is comparatively safe
After that, if nature is trying tc
wall off the infection and this i.
shown by improvement, the case is
far different from the situation in
(which physics have broken down
the natural resistance. | believe
that out Of 100 patients treated by
operation after two days have
elapsed there will be a higher NOR
tality than among 100 treated by
other methods. And I still believe
in old-fashioned ice bags"
