Vote On Neutrality Act
TO Hurt Harold COo1ev
Tobacco Situation Reporte to Be Giving Fourth Dis
trict Representative I rouble-Neutrality
Stand Not Helping

paloigh Sept. 20.-Tobacco, which
,.. cone along nicely with Congress-
~n Harold Dunbar Cooley of the
NortA Carolina fourth, is giving the
H.st-looker in the State delegation
nlcnty trouble.
nr|tn is reputed to have retorted
ire Young man seeking his ad-
.a nn marriage, whether you do,
5o not. you will regret it." 1t is
,aovhat that way with Mr.. Cooley.
,rbethlr he votes for or against
n. Presidents neutrality bill, the
.,roressman will regret it. For, he
.snnot vote against Mr. Roosevelt
,.,thout angering the tobacco con-
,roIlers and the anti-controllers
.,,en more. These opponents of the
Coolev votes for control say that
tbere would be no necessity for re-
.+,artion if all the tobacco buyers
we're on the markets buying. And
tho reason for the retirement of the
prti,h buying companies is patent,
racinrocity If the United States will
mi sell Britain and France eXplos-
IVES 10 shoot Germany, then Britain
and France will not buy American
t,b4cco. So the tobacco farmers are
about to get ready to get mad with
lIr Cooley
Hurts Both Ways
Whether they be controllers or
vide-openerS, matters little. The con-
rollers are obliged to Mr.. Cooley for
s,IDuortlng control, but the anti-con-
troIers are still sore about that. For
they are a bit embarrassed by their
own records They knew as Senator
Bo!ah and his illustrious colleague,
Robert Rice Reynolds, that there was
gong TO be no war in Europe They
Knew all about the bunds and their
harMlessneSs. They knew that war
talk was propaganda from Britain
and France. the croaking of the
French frogs and the believing of
John Bull. Those gentlemen are some
What tlabbergasted by outbreak Of
war in another quarter.
But Senator Reynolds was all right
on control So was Mr. Cooley. He
is Zoe per cent against war. But the
pinch comes on neutrality. His vote
On that issue hurts tobacco growers,
controllers and anti-controllers alike.
They are about to make music about
! The two great British tobacco
companies are off the market and
that hurts. And they did not get off
until they had surplus and to spare.
All in all, Congressman Cooley is
in tor an unhappy time. He believes
that he is doing something for do
nestle and foreign peace when he
opposes a course certain to anger
Germany and the other national
gangsters. But it hurts tobacco farm
ers Cotton growers profitted might
ily n the old war, too, and the twain,
nicotine and calico, brought riches

Il takes q lot of nimleness for Mr..
Cooley to keep head if his district.
Il is overwhelmingly Tor control.
And the opposition to that principle
thinks he is doing his enemies real
dirt

GIVEN ATTENTION
DR.. Riley Says Cold May
Be FOrerunner of
Pneumonia

Warning against neglecting
what may seem to be nothing but
a cold, DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the Maryland State Department
Of Health said: "Just cold often
opens the way for pneumonia. If
you develop cold don't let it
run on. Don't waste time on pre-
scribing for yourself. See your
doctor, Or have him come to see
you. And obey his orders.
Pneumonia" he continued, lis
always a matter of special concern
to physicians and health officers
during the colder months. Cases
may develop at any time of the
year, but the flare-up usually be-
gins in the fall and the peak
comes during the winter months
The decline begins in the spring
and the disease reaches it's low
est ebb, or both sickness and
death during the summer. Very
often neglected cold or an attack
of grippe or influenza opens the
way for the more serious disease
and there is always danger of it
in connection with measles.
pneumonia hits hardest at very
young children and at persons
from fifteen years old and up

groups. The best way to prevent

it is through careful, hygienic
living, avoidance of colds, and the
strengthening of the powers of re-
sistance to disease The best way
to combat it is through prompt
and continuous medical attention,
laboratory tests to show the type
Of the disease, and careful and eff
ticient nursing.
Laboratory tests show that
there are thirty or more types of
the germ which generally causes
pneumonia. Serums for the treat
ment of most Of these types are
now available, but laboratory
tests of sputum coughed up b.
the patient have to be made to de-
termine the type that causes eacn
individual case Special training
is required for making these tests
which have to be done with the
utmost care. The tests used TO
take great deal of time Now
they can generally be completed
within an hour while the messen-
ger waits. 1t is very important
that the sputum be sent to the
laboratory promptly and in the
early stages of the disease.
