Many Henderson People
See Havoc At Warrenton
Sunday Storm Does Estmat ed $4,000 in That Town.
Crop Damage in Vicinity Not Estimated; Cantaoupe
Crop Around Ridgeway Is Badly Damaged

Many Henderson people went to
Warrenton late Sunday afternoon and
others went today to view the havoc
and destruction wrought by the wind
storm that struck that thriving War
rem countyseat in mid-afternoon Sun
day. They observed the speed and
courage with which residents of the
town quickly set about clearing away
debris and repairing damage that re-
suited from the wind, estimated at
around $4,000. There were no casual
ties.
The town was without electric light
service until around midnight, when
electric current was restored to part
Of the community II was expected to
be tack to normal by tonight or to-
morrow.
A bonded warehouse was virtually
demolished by the wind, and the stor-
age wing of the Centre Warehouse, a
tobacco auction building, was partly
demolished, and sections of the re-
n'aindcr of the structure unroofed.
MANY plateglass windows in the bust
ness section were smashed.
Giant oaks that had for decades
been the pride of the community were
twisted from their trunks, and limbs
and twigs Uttered the streets and the
yards of residences in virtually every
section of the town. The State High
way e. Public Service Commission con
vct population from the camp near
Warrenton were brought into play to
clear the debris from the streets so

Crops Badly Damaged.
In addition to the damage done in
Warrenton proper crops in the vicin-
ity and at Ridgeway were virtually
destroyed in some localities. No esti-
mate could be obtained as to the ac-
tual loss in those regions. At Ridge
way however, much of the cantclOupe
crop was a total loss, according to re-
ports, and TOBACCO, cotton and corn
also suffered heavily in the immediate
sections struck by the wind hail and
rain. The hail is understood to have
done about as much damage to crops
as the wind.
The storm appeared to have ORR
ginated or at least to have struck,
first near Ridgeway, then to have
moved rapidly across to Warrenton
and to have spent itself in the vic
Unity of Liberia, some three or four
miles southeast of Warrenton.
No One Injured.
It was considered remarkable that
there were no casualties. No one was
even so much as injured, so far as
had been learned today.
Advices from Warrenton at noon
were that the work of clearing up
the debris and making repairs to bus
mess and residential property was
well under way. Some few concerns
had hail and tornado insurance, and
by reason of that fact will be spared a
total loss. Others, however, who were
not so fortunate, suffered heavy
damage.
The storm severed communication

BANKS TO OBSERVE
SATURDAY HOLIDAY
Not Definite Yet if Merch-
ANTS Will Defer Clos
ing to Monday

Banks Of Henderson will observe
their Fourth of July holiday on the
Fourth Of July, but it is expected bus
mess houses will defer their holiday
until Monday, July 6. 1t was definitely
stated today that the banks would be
closed Saturday and opened as usual
on Monday
If the merchants decide to keep
open shop Saturday it will be for the
purpose of taking care of the week
end business. The Fourth falls on Sat
urday only very rarely, and when it
does it creates somewhat of a problem
for the business community. Most
cash registers yawn for the weekend
trade and customers have the habit
of doing a lot of their buying on Sat
urdays, with the result that a holiday
for the entire community on that day
has tendency to throw normal &C
tivities out of gear for the time.
Definite decision is to be reached
sometime this week as to what the
business houses will do as to the holt
day.

nary election campaign began today,

Firemen answered two alarms Sat-

The Family Doctor
Aluminium Cooking Vessels Do Not
 Cause Poisoning, Studies Reveal

notes growth of cancer in the hu- man body.
 This rumor persists notwith- standing reports to the contrary by important commissions set up to study the subject in England, Germany, and the Untied States.
 Actually, there IS not the slight est evidence to support the charge. Investigations made in some important centers indicate that clean aluminium cooking utensils are attacked to an insig- nificant degree by foods that are of neutral reaction.
 Acid foods or foods Co which baking soda has been added may dissolve small amounts of alumi- mum from the cooking utensils II, however, sugar is present the amount of corroSion of the metal Is less.
 The largest amount of alumi- mum found in any food after cooking was ll8 parts per million in apple butter which had been cooked in an aluminium vessel for 6 i-2 hours. If all the food to be eaten in one day were cooked in an aluminium cooking utensil, there still would not be enough of the metal in the food to inter fere seriously in any way with normal activities of the human body.
 Occasionally, 1t would seem to be conceivable that materials coming from cooking utensils or from foods might produce un- favorable action in the human body. Thus, pieces of broken glass occasionally have been found in food substances, and foods have even been contaminated by splinters of wood, wire, nails, and other foreign bodies. These facts should indicate the necessity of careful control over food supplies.
 Since chemical insecticides are used for destroying insect life on plants, poisonous materials occa- sionally find their way into food in this maner. Sprays of nico- tine, tobacco dust, Paris green, and lead, as well as arsenic, fre- quently are used on growing fruits and vegetables.
 Such poisons should. of course. be removed from fruits by thor ough washing. In the case of vegetables such as lettuce and cabbage, 1t is possible to remove the outer leaves and then. by washing, to get rid of practically all the insecticide. It is not pos sible to do much about cleaning asparagus. except by washing thoroughly with suitable solutions.
 
 A great deal of agitation has been associated with the sale of apples and oranges on which metallic sprays have been used. The D. 6. Department of Agricul- turc has instituted definite rcgu- i"''crq for control of insecticides

WHAT TO DO WITH HAMER. TOE

WHAT TO DO WITH HAMER.TOE
 When one of the small toes be- comes hump-backed or fiexed at the first joint 1t is called hammer-toe. The hump or top of the joint stands up prominently above the plane of the other toes, and the patient is unable to straighten 1t out.
 Crowding together of the other toes, from wearing shoes either too short or too narrow or pointed, causes the distortion. The summit of the flcxed joint is subject to con- stant pressure against the shoe leather and often develops @ painful corn.
 Taken early, hammer-toe may be corrected by adopting proper foot wear, or better by going barefoot or wearing open sandals much of the time. When shoes are worn the up- pers should give plenty Of room for the toes, particularly avoiding pres- sure upon the hump; the uppers should be of soft leather.
 In more advanced hammer toe a careful application of narrow straps of adhesive plaster over the hump and under the toes on either side, and 6 second strap under the tip or head of the hammer-toe and over the tips of the toes on either side, will retain the toe in proper posi- ton and in the course Of several weeks correct the deformity. The adhesive plaster may be most read fly removed by soaking 1t for a few moments with ordinary kerosene, when a fresh application is to be made.
 Where the conditions of long standing there is contraction of fragments under the joint and at the side, and in order to relieve the trouble 1t is necessary to divide these contracted and shortened liga- ments, then retain the toe in strengthened position by means of splint for two weeks. The liga- ments may be divided subcutane- ously, that Is, through a small punc- ture at one side of the toe, under local anesthesia, painlessly and bloodlessly.
 In a few cases where the joint Is much changed in shape and size from prolonged partial dislocation Comparable with bunion) nothing short of resection will give relief. The enlarged, distorted heads of the bones must be removed and the toe retained in splint or cast until healing is complete two to three weeks). Such an operation, even amputation of an entire toe, does not noticeably affect the patients gait after recovery.
 For some cases of hammer-toe of recent origin an ingenious device move prove sufficient. stiff leather insole having a suitable soft leather
