NEWER KNOWLEDGE OF
PEPTIC ULCER

Ulcer of the stomach gastric
ulcer) or Of the duodenum 0ntes-
tine just beyond the stomach) Is
called peptic ulcer. Various views
as to the nature and cause of this
common condition have led to the
use Of many different methods or
plans of treatment. At best, no
treatment as yet has proved very
satisfactory, though the Sippy regi-
men or some modification OF 1t has
given victims Of peptic ulcer the
greatest degree of comparative
comfort and safety.
The conviction has grown upon
the profession that more is in
volved in these cases of peptic ul-
Ger than the local lesion in the
mucous membrane. A question on
which there has been much spec
ulation is "Why doesn't the healthy
stomach digest itself?" or "yvhat
causes the erosion or digestion Of
small areas OF the mucous MEM
brane of stomach or duodenurn
which produces peptic ulcer?"
Discrimination or irritation OF the
stomach with hot saucer, ccEdi-
ments, or alcohol, has becn con-
sidered one factor of ulcer. Then
some physicians have regarded
peptic ulcer as focal infection,
some have thought 1t hereditary,
and some have favored the view
that 1t results from, some interior
ence with the circulation or blood
supply of the affected area OF gas
trio or duodenal lining. The multi
piicity of opinions has led to vari-
GUS methods of treatment.
McCarrison, British army sur
geon in India observed the FREE
quency of peptic ulcer among tribes
in the south whose diet was main
| ly rice and tapioca (poor in Vita
mins) and striking rarity of the
disease among the Sikhs whose
diet was largely milk and vege-
| tables erich in vitamins). In ex-
perimental work he found. that
monkeys fed on diets poor in vita
minis usually developed peptic ul-
Ger. McCarrison was one OF the
first TO prove that an adequate sup
ply Of vitanins is essential to
maintain normal nutrition and
health of the gastro-intestlnal tract.
Many other investigators have
confirmed this since. vitamins A,
B and G appear to be particular
ly essential and d to a lesser de-
gree.

Brummitt Succumbs to Pneumonia;
Heads States Legal Dept.
for Ten Years

Raleigh, Jan. 12.-Dennis G. Brum-
mitt, 10 years attorney general Of
North Carolina, lost his fight with
pneumonia today.
Ten years, to the day, after coming
here from Oxford to be sworn in, he
will go back to Oxford to be buried.
With the two leap years that came
into his official tenure he lived ex-
actly 10 years as head of the states
legal department.
The United States Supreme court
opinions carry at least three Of the
Brummitt interpretations of law
which made national history for.
North Carolina. One Of these cases
won in combat with John w. Davis,
the Democratic nominee for the pres
idency in 1924, moved members of
the worlds greatest bench to compli-
ment the North Carolinian's speech.
Mr.. Brummitt held the state Demo-
cratic Craftsmanship q brief season,
but relinquished it upon becoming the
states most important attorney. He
likewise removed himself from any
possible suspicion if he sought other
honors. He did aspire to the COVER
norship in 1880 and 1881, but took
himself from the race when he ap-
parently felt a reasonable hope of
the nomination. Since that abandon
ment he has been regarded a prob
able candidate for the United States
senatorship, but he never uttered a
word indicating that under any con-
sideration he would contest with Sem
ator ]. w. Bailey.
Congressman r. L. Doughton and
Governor R. A. Doughton, of Sparta,
are among the long list of notables
who are listed as honorary pail bear
ers at the funeral which will be held
Monday from the First Baptist Church
in Oxford with Rev. Roy McCulloch,
pastor of the First Baptist church at
Oxford; DR.. J. Powell Tucker, pastor
of the First Baptist church of Ra-
leigh, and DIR. Herman T. Stevens,
pastor of the Baptist church in
Asheboro in charge of the services.
DIR. Stevens has held number of
revival meetings in this section.
Congressman Doughton, referring
to the death of Mr.. Brummitt said:
"Dennis Brummitt was really one of
the great men of North Carolina. I
have never known in my life time a
more capable man and one of higher
character. The State can ill afford to
lose such public servant. I extend
my deepest sympathy to his family"
Mr.. Brummitt was So years old.

DOUGHTON THINKS COMMITTEE
WILL REPORT OUT BONUS Bill

payment of the soldiers bonus, a
measure that looms over the present
congress as one of the most import
ant that must be passed upon, Repre-
sentative Bulwinkle of the tenth dis
trict today stated that he wosld sup
port any bill which carried the pay
.ment of the bonus to the veterans,
provided that the bill he was to vote
on did not have in its provisions
measures which would tend to infla-
ton or which would be inf1ationary.
He said also that he had been con-
templating introducing, and will
probably INTRODUCE shortly, a bill
which provides for the payment of
the bonus, charging small rate of
interest for those that have borrowed
and the remainder to be paid in two
annual installments. Further, he said
that he is firmly convinced that any
bonus measure which carries with it
an initiation clause could not possibly
become law. This is because, in the
first place, if it did pass the house
and senate, the President would veto
it, and with a strong message the
President would be able to send down
against imitation, his veto would be
sustained.

Bulwinkle Favors Payment If 1t
Does Not Call for Initiation; A
Veto Might Be Sustained

Hon. r. L. Doughton, chairman of
the Ways and Means Committee, has
issued his first statement as to his
opinion of what his committee will do
on the bonus question which is one
of the foremost legislative problems
at present.
Il think it will report out bonus
BILL he said.
House and senate leaders have said
that a s2,1OO,OOO,OoO cash payment
bonus bill probably will pass congress
on the initial vote. A survey, howev-
er, has shown that 35 senator's three
more than enoughat present would
vote to sustain a presidential veto.
House leaders, in the words of
Speaker Byrns, want to "vote on the
bonus soon for the sake of harmony"
So, to enable his committee to work
fast on all the legislation it must
handle, Doughton figured on naming
subcommittee to handle the various
bills.

COUNTY AGENTS ARE
GOOD INVESTMENTS

The work of the county and
home demonstration agents help
in saving the soil, keeping money
at home, eeting emergencies
and in building up the morale of
the people as well as providing
sources of new income, says John
w. Goodman, district agent, in
charge of farm demonstration
work in this territory for the
State College Extension Service,
declaring that an appropriation
for a county and home demon
stration agent is one of the best
investments a county can make.
Proper guidance must be had
to save the soil and extension
workers have always had this as
basic part of their program,
says Goodman. "The live-at-home
program reduces expenditures of
cash for purchase from other
areas. 1t lessons cost of produc-
ton and therefore gives greater
total return from production.
Emergencies come in agricul-
ture. 1t is a hazardous undertake
ing at best. Large losses may re-
suit without trained persons to
help in preventing and overcom-
ing emergencies due to insects,
disease Of plants and animals,
and drouths. There is seldom a
year that Extension agents do
not save more than their salaries
through the quick and efficient
handling of emergencies which
threaten agricultural production.

The Negro, arrested in the local

He was formally charged with the

Hauptmann Grows Nervous as State
Continues to Bring Up Damag-
ing Evidence Against Him


Authorities are at loss to UNDER
stand the bloodstains, so minute they
could have escaped the naked eye,
that have been found on Is of the
SO bills which were part of the
$1,000 Lindbergh ransom money re-
covered before Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann's arrest.
There were 500 bills. For several
months six men spent all their time
studying them. Each bill was put un-
der the micscrope. On fifteen of them
were the curious brownish black
specks. Al chemical analysis followed,
and the specks were shown to be
flakes of dried blood.
Some of the bills bore the letters
ms" each in the same place. There
were also numbers written on many
of the bills, sometimes six and eight
In q row. 1t was assumed there were
automobile license numbers.
Hauptmann is growing nervous as
the trial wears on and his defense
lawyers have lost good part of their
vigor as damaging identiications are
brought up day after day.
Hauptmann is though to be going
to attempt to prove that Isadoe
Fisch, who he says left the $4,000
ransom money found in Hauptmann's
garage, gave him the money to keep
before he left for Germany where he
lated died of T. B. The state of New
Jersey is bringing a sister and a
brother of Fisch's to America to help
clear the record of the dead Fisch.
They will swear, according to report,
that Fisch had no money when he
left America for his German home
and that he knew he was going to
die and that if he had had $4,000,
he would have assuredly tried to have
used it to help him in his last illness.
Foremost handwriting experts have
sworn that the handwriting of the
prisoner and those on the ransom
notes received by Lindbergh are the
same. DE-. Condor, who acted as
go-between in the futile search for
the kidnapped child, has sworn that
Hauptmann is the man to whom he
talked for an our about terms of
ransom and to whom he later gave
the $4,000.
Hauptmann has been offered Glenn
ency if he will confess his part in
the crime, but he and his wife have
refused, protesting innocence. The
case is expected to come to a close
in another week.

YOUNG ASHE FARMER
EXPRESSES INTEREST IN
SOIL EROSION PROJECT
Ten Out Of County Have Said that
They Would Be Glad to See
Headquarters in County

Only ten out of the scores of Ashe
farmers have so far expressed any
interest in the proposal made last
week by the Skyland Post that there
is a possibility of having a soil ero-
sion project started here.
The following letter from Dean
Coward, student at Berea College,
and former active member of the
Young Farmers Of America at
Grassy Creek, might be read with
interest:
MY dear Miss Reeves:-I notice
with great deal of interest in the
Skyland Post received this morning
the suggestion that Ashe County
might get governmental aid to pre-
vent soil erosion. / think this is a
splendid idea and hope that the In
terest will be sufficient to properly
present it to the authorities.
SIN view of the facts that Ashe
county land is extremely low produc-
ing, that the only occupation Of note
in the county is farming, and that
much of the small areas of good soil
in the county is gradually floating to-
ward the Mississippi River and the
Gulf of Mexico there should certainly
be "a constructive farm program.
~ was very sorry to hear of the
recent resignation of w. C. LaRue,
who has rendered such an invaluable
service in the Grassy Greek commun-
ity. His present work will, no doubt
be more extensive, but I feel sure
that Ashe county is losing a wonder
full leader. His successor may, we
hope, will continue the good work."
