Watermelon Treat
in Cold November


Milus Martin, highly respected
colored man of the Nettle Knob
community, presented DR.. B. E.
Reeves with a watermelon a few
days ago that he raised on his plan
tation that was as fresh and delici-
Gus as if it had been an August gift.
Uncle Milus is an old time colored
man who was reared and lived with
the Martins of Wilkes county till
the days of slavery was a thing of
the past and after his freedom he
settled on the waters of South Beav-
er Creek in Ashe county where he
raised a respectable family and
taught them honesty, sobriety and
uprightness of character.
It is hoped this good old time
colored man may live many years
yet and grow some more MELONS for
other wears to come.

FIR Is Second President
to Leave United States

Asked at a press conference prior
to his departure what he hoped to
accomplish by carrying q good
neighbor" message personally to
South America, he said the trip spoke
for itself.
He will spend November ~ ashore
at the Brazilian capital as the guest
of the government, and several hours
December at Montevideo, Uruguay,
on the return voyage.
White House officials said the
round trip would bring the total
mileage of the Presidents travels
since he entered the White House to
around 100000 nearly half of it ac-
counted for this year.
He will return to Washington De-
cember IA unless he makes side
trip to Warm Springs, Ca, where he
was treated a number of years ago
for infantile paralysis. If he makes
this visit to Warm Springs, in lieu
of his usual Thanksgiving day cele-
bration there, his return to the capi-
tai will be delayed day or two.

Chief Executive Boards Ship for
South American ON Good
will Journey
RETURNS ON DECEMBER IA

For the second time in history, the
President of the United States is
speeding toward foreign soil this
week to participate in a conference
designed to strengthen the fabric of
world peace.
Arranging to keep in touch by radio
with developments in the maritime
strike and other problems at home,
President Roosevelt headed for
Burenos Aires, Argentina, to open
peace and trade discussions Decem-
Der between 81 American repub-
lies.
He left the capital shortly after 8
p. m. Tuesday for Charleston, S. c.,
where he began his ocean voyage
Wednesday.
Attorney General Cummings and
Jesse Jones, chairman of the RFC,
were at the station to bid the Persi-
dent farewell Mrs. James Roosevelt
also was on hand to say goodbye to
her husband, the Presidents son.
Several score of other spectators
watched the chief executive, clad in
gray, board the train. He waved,
but did not say anything. His special
car the Pioneer, no longer was
equipped with the loud-speakers US
ed during the recent campaign.
The conference for which he will
make the 12,000-mile journey. was
called at his suggestion. He has ex-
pressed hope it will provide new
hope and courage for ''war-weary
world by demonstrating that the
"scourge of armed conflict can and
will be eliminated from the western
hemisphere"
The only other President who ever
went abroad on such a mission was
Woodrow Wilson. He went to France
in 1919 in an effort to develop a
permanent peace structure out of the
wreckage of the world war.

" teaspoon baking soda, " teaspoon
salt, 2-3 cup butter, or other shorten
ing, cup sugar, l egg, unbeaten; 2
tablespoons lemon juice, grated rind
of one or two lemons, as desired.
Sift flour once, measure, add bak-
ing soda and salt and sift together
three times. Work butter with spoon
until soft and creamy. Add sugar
gradually, beating until light and
fluffy after each addition. Add egg.
Beat until we'll blended. Add lemon
juice and rind. Add flour, a small
amount at time, beating until smooth
after each addition. Let dough stand
in cold place until stiff. Roll small
portion at a time very thin on a
lightly Toured board. Cut with a two
inch cooky cutter. Place on INCREASED
baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in moderate oven, $50 degrees
F. about ten minutes. The cookies
should bake without browning, except
for a slight darkening around the
edges. They will become very crisp
on cooling. Make five dozen waters.
Lemon Clover Rolls
Two cups sifted flour, y teaspoon
baking soda, " teaspoon salt, n cup
sugar, 1-3 cup shortening, IL cup of
milk, tablespoons lemon juice.
Sift flour once, measure, add bak-
ing soda, salt and sugar and sift
again. Cut in shortening. Add COM
bined milk and lemon juice. Stir quick
ly to form a stiff dough. Turn onto
Toured board. Knead slightly. With
the hands form the dough into small
balls, about the size of marbles.
Place three balls in each cup cake
tin. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake in hot
oven (450 degrees F.) 20 minutes.
; A few recipes can use lemon juice
as the only liquid as well as source
of acid for leavening, and flavor. The
doughs or batters from these recipes
must of necessity be very stiff such as
rolled or refrigerator cookies. The
above recipe for lemon waters is
typical of this class and is unusually
delicious. The use of greater quantities
of excess juice, or the use of large
amounts of lemon juice without bak-
ing soda in cake mixes will result in
the usual signs of an acid productive
flavor will be sour-(not really lemon)
and crumb will be damp and coarse,
the aroma will be unpleasant.

works. And there is great danger of
contracting the disease from such in
juries. But the disease may develop
from any injury in which the skin is
broken and dirt forced into the flesh
such as frequently happens in automo-
bile accidents.
"The size of the wound has nothing
to do with its possible serious conse-
quences. The injury may be a mere
puncture by splinter, or nail, as in
the case of the Baltimore County man
whose death was recorded recently.
Three or four years ago, child in
another part of the State, jabbed her
foot with a pencil. By the time preven-
tative treatment was started, it was
too late in her case also. When an ac-
cident of that sort occurs, the best
thing to do is to get the injured person
to doctor as quickly as possible. The
State Department of Health supplies
the tetanus anti-toxin for preventive
treatments, free of charge, for persons
who live in the counties.

DANGERS OF DOCTORING
YOURSELF POINTED OUT

A death recently reported to the
State Department of Health, shows the
dangers of self-doctoring. The death
occurred in Baltimore County and was
that of man, 76 years old. The brief
record shows that on the 18th of Feb
ruary, he ran a nail into his foot. He
bathed it in hot water, used peroxide,
tried salt water, salt bacon, turpen-
tine, and liniment on it. The foot was
slightly swollen on March 5; on March
6 the man developed a stiff neck. He
sent for his physician who ordered his
immediate removal to hospital. He
died at the hospital the next day.
Lockjaw has been responsible for
nearly 200 deaths in Maryland during
the last ten years. Because the deaths
from lockjaw are listed under the
scientific name for the disease
tetanus-they are not likely to at
tract as much attention." DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, said, Gas they would
if the more familiar name were used"
"Lockjaw is caused" he continued,
"by germ that is found in the dust
that floats in the air, in dirt from the
streets and roads, and particularly in
manure and in dirt around stables and
barns. The tetanus germ-the germ
that causes ockjaw-fourishes only
when the air is shut off. The germs
are inactive until crushed into wound
from which the air is excluded. Then
they begin to develop. At they grow
they throw off powerful poison which
causes the agonizing contraction of the
muscles characteristic of the disease.
The muscles of the jaws are among
the first to be affected, hence the name
"lockjaw".
"The disease can be prevented by
injecting tetanus anti-toxin which
counteracts the effect of the poison
into the muscles. But it must be done
at the time of the injury, and of course
must be done by doctor. Any
'crushed-in' wounds, or injuries in
which the skin is broken, or punctured
or lacerated, should be opened
thoroughly, surgically cleansed, and
kept open, in order that any tetanus
germs that have lodged in the wound
may be exposed to the air, which will
be fatal to them. The tetanus anti
toxin should be given without delay.
Ordinarily we are inclined to as.
soeiate lockjaw71te tanus-with gun.
Shot wounds, or with injuries from
blank cartridges, toy pistols and fire.
