Doughton to Make
no Statement About
'38 Senatorial Race
Veteran Ninth District Congress
man Says Present Problem
Is to Get Back to House
GOES BACK HOME TO REST

GREENSBORO, July 18.-''I won't
say I will and I won't say won'ts"
Representative Robert L. Doughton,
of Laurel Springs, declared yester-
day when questioned by Daily
News reporter regarding persistent
rumor linking him as candidate for
the United States senate in 1888 OPP
posing Senator Robert r. Reynolds,
who is expected to seek reelection.
Expressing himself merely as
candidate for denomination by the
Democratic party as representative
from the ninth congressional district,
which he has served consecutively
for IL terms, "a years, Representa-
tive Doughton said sit is far too soon
to comment" on the possibility of
his running for the senate.
Here for the luncheon session of
the annual convention of the Young
Democratic Clubs of North Carolina,
which last night concluded its two
day meeting, Representative Dough-
ton was given rousing welcome
when he entered the ballroom at the
o. Henry hotel at which session
Clyde r. Hoey, of Shelby, Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, was the
speaker. Arriving several minutes
late the ninth district congressman
walked briskly through the ballroom
and sought his seat at the speakers
table while every one of the atten-
dants rose to their feet and Justify
applauded him.
Plenty of Time
Rumors had persisted around the
convention headquarters early in the
morning that the representative
would oppose Reynolds in 1888.
/ It is. too far away talk about it
now" declared the veteran legisla-
tor. 81 won't say I will and won't
say won't. In fact, I'd rather wait
for a while You know, man can't
be candidate for two positions at
the same time My problem now is
being reelected to Congress. I'm go
ing to put forth every effort toward
this end and will make future plans
later"
Laying emphasis on the coming
election, Representative Doughton
said: "The task now is to weld all
elements together for great victory
in November. We must work togeth-
er toward one end, that of reflect
ing the party in both state and ma
ton"
Mr.. Doughton, accompanied by his
secretary, Sidney Gambill, left late
during the afternoon for his home,
where he will remain this week for
a rest. He said "it is much cooler at
home" and he will be with his fam
lily there.

EMERGENCY REMEDIES FOR
 ANGINA

Angina pectoris--the accent on the An, not on the gi-Which ought to seem natural to oil who persist in calling ab-do-men ab-do-iner,--. means choking pain In the chest heart-pang, heart-cramp.
 Like epilepsy and asthma, angina pectoris is Q functional malady tho seizures or attacks of which arc characteristic enough to enable the physician to diagnose the trouble but in the intervals presents no de- finite organic change by which the pathologist may recognize the dis ease.
 Partial occlusion of restriction of the coronary arteries (which supply blood to tho heart muscle or wall It. selO from arteriogclerosis is prob- ably the primary factor of angina pectoris. The immediate cause oi the attack, however, Is undoubtedly asphyXia, anoxemia insufficient OK ygen supply to the heart muscle; insufficient, that Is, to meet an emergency demand under emotional strain or some slight overexertion
 The first remedy for the emer- gency attack or threat or fear oi impending attack of angina pectorih Is immediate cessation of strain, ef- fort or eXertion. Come to a com- plete standstill wherever the seizure occurs, and sit down, or better He down If possible and remain per- fectly quiet.
 Nitroglycerin (trinitrin, glonoin, glyceryl nitrate), Is the best en1er- gency remedy for the attack of an- gina pectoris. The patient may carry always in pocket small vial Of nitroglycerin tablets and take a tab- let whenever he believes an attack impends. Nitroglycerin is volatile and loses strength If exposed to the air, but a dozen tablets in a stop pered vial will retain their potency for several weeks. The tablet dis solved in the mouth produces It's characteristic effect on the circula- ton within two or three minutes Nitroglycerin is not heart stimu- lant at all; 1t merely relaxes spasE of the arterioles or smallest arteries and frees the circulation from re. striction. When the patient take; sufficient nitroglycercin to have thii effect he usually notices some throb. ping in the head and flushing oi the face for a few moments. The effect of nitroglycerin is prompt afit of short duration--it lasts only or hour or two. Consequently the dost is usually repeated every few hours where more lasting effect Is re quired. A moderate dose is 1-200tf (one- two -hundredth) of Q grain though many patients take tabietl containing one one-hundredth of grain of nitroglycerin.

Style Chats

Paris-(UP) There is dis tinctly Oriental air about the win- ter clothes at Jeanne Lanvin. Many of the felt hats are made like Turk ish fez caps, some trimmed with tassels and others with small pulls or clusters of feathers.
 Woolel afternoon dresses, with iong sleeves that are wide at the wrist, have all the trimming concern trated on the sleeves, Bands of vel- vet, gold kid or line of buttons make an unusual sort of trimming for these dresses. On others, signs of the zodiac are embroidered ct trimming for sleeves or the bodice.
 Furs are dyed all sorts of un- usual shades at this house. Sea lion, tinted an olive green, is used for a full, knee-length coat that is made with modified leg of-mutton shoulders. Many oi the afternoon and evening coats are trimmed with fur that has been dyed c rosy shade of henna This is used lavishly on blacl; velvet or rosy henna broadclotf coats.

Glori6ing Yourself
 Rv Alicia Hart

Tho girl who makes resolutions instead of wishes, then sticks by them from now until December 20, will be sure to get what she wants most for Christmas--greater love- liness.
 You can depend on Santa Claus for bedroom slippers, flowers and gadgets, but only you can give your self q nicer skin, healthier hair or 0 better figure. This Is the day to decide exactly how you want to look Christmas morning and what you are going to do to achieve that goal
 If you honestly want Q clear scalp and beautifully shiny tresses in- stead of that dull hair you have now, allow ten extra minutes day for vigorous brushing. Don't go to bed until you have brushed and brushed and brushed. Hold the brush loosely in your hands and work with firm, upward strokes that clean the scalp and polish each and every strand.
 Surely the woman Wlth dry SkIl wants her face and throat to look sleek and smooth instead of scaly and dry. During the winter months she should cleanse with cream in- stead of soap and water and use night cream more conscientiously. At night, cleansing cream should be removed with @ coarse, clean towel. Tn the morning, with 6 wash cloth that has been dipped in very hot water and squeezed as dry as possible. Night cream ought to be left on for at least half an hour.
 If you want prettier hands, don't wait for Santa Claus to bring lux urlous manicure set, hand lotion and cuticle cream. Get these imme- diately and begin at once to use the lotion at least four times a day, the cuticle cream every night and the orange sticks, emery boards and new lacquer every five or six days.
 NEXT: Christmas wishes from the mail bag.

 The iris is the colored portion of tho eye, It can become infected and anfiamed from various causes, When it Is infected, 1t becomes swollen, dull, and discolored. The pupil gets small, gray and sluggish.
 Pain, radiating to the forehead and to the temple, B worse at night. and there s much disturbance Of yision. A person who has an in- famed iris cannot bear to look at light, and his eye IS constantly watering.
 One of the most common causes of this condition is, Of course, syph- His, However, the iris may also be- come infected by other germs, or rheumatic conditions may be re- spcnSible.
 It is of the utmost importance to attsnd to this condition Immediately because the inflammation and the infection may result In scnrring which will either block the pupil entirely or bind the iris down in such manner as to prevent It's mos ton. Obviously this will cause per" npanent disturbance of vision.
 when Q doctor takes care Of this condition, he applies drugs which relieve congestion and put the part at rest. Dilation of the pupil will prevent the scarring and tend to break up the small scars that have already formed.
 Various preparations of atropine arc useful for this purpose. There are other drugs, anesthetic in character, which prevent pain. The doctor may also prescribe moist. hot congresses for several hours This will tend to diminish pain and inflammation.
 Of particular importance, how ever, Is systematic treatment of this and other conditions. Syphilis affecting the eye means syphilis elsewhere in the body and de- xnands the kind of consistent and persistent treatment necessary for this condition.
 If iritis is associated with a rheumatic condition, the patient must be treated for the general Rheumatic disturbance. with the detection, if possible, of the focus of infection of the body and with the elimination of that focus when it is found.
