The Low Down
From Hickory Grove

Every once in a while you will
pick up a paper and somebody is
poppin' off about women in busi-
ness, and how successful they are,
etc.
But stenographers and young
women who know their onions,
they quit the office soon as they
get married. They quit before the
so-called head of the house gets
hep that he can loaf and play pool,
while the little woman brings in
the bacon.
But right down to brass tacks,
most fellers, they would rather
turn over their pay-check to some
gal who knows something about
the design and flavor of mince
pie versus a gal who can maybe
manage a plumbing shop, or can
put the short, or do some mans
job. Most fellers, they are kinda
halfway fearful to tie up with

But most enators and Re pre-
sentatives, they understand arith-
metic, and if they were to get
enough postcards telling them to
lay off passing any more laws, and
come on home-or else not get re-
elected-they would savvy.
And for the ones who cannot
count any too well, tell them the
melons are ripe, or the sweet corn
is in, or anything-but get them
home. And then, maybe we can,
all take long breath.

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

The Indians thought that white
men had so much toothache be-
cause so many lies passed over
their teeth. Since then there have
been many plausible theories con-
cerning the causes of tooth decay.
Whatever the underlying causes
may be, it has been proven without
a doubt that a good diet will do
much toward preventing tooth de-
cay.
Diet is most effective in the for
nation of well shaped teeth and
Jaws. At birth the permanent
teeth are already partly formed.
Throughout the entire pregnancy
and the early years of life the
right materials are essential to
build good teeth. Hardness of the
dentine, perfect formation of en-
amel, and the absence of pits and
irregularities are all a function of
diet.
1t has been demonstrated that
tooth decay can be arrested by
good food. DR.. Boyd and DR..
Drain of Iowa have shown through
experiments with children that by
an excellent diet the softened den
tine at the base of a cavity can be-
come as hard as stone at the end
! of ten or twelve weeks.
Diets which have proved effec-
tive in the building and mainten-
ance of good teeth differ from
those which we customarily use, in
that they contain greater amounts
of milk, vegetables, fruits, eggs
and cod liver oil. In short, they
are better diets not only for build
ing and protecting the teeth, but
also for building and protecting
every other body tissue.
The records show that over
three fourths of the school chill
dren in Delaware are suffering
from tooth decay. That alone is
serious enough. But this can even
be interpreted to mean that three
Ifourths of our children are not get
ting the kind of food which they
ought to have. That is infinitely
more serious since it means that
besides dental defects, we must ex
pect other signs of malnutrition
such as underweight, poor muscu
lar development, nutritional hear
disease, nutritional anemia, poo
bone formation, and decreased re
sistance to disease. Correcting oul
children's diet will not only builC
better teeth but also healthier chill
dren.

CAR MAKES
TOWN A LIAR
Odd Gas Buggy Is Running
After Thirty-five Years
of Service
SPEED 35 MILES HOUR

NEW BERN, N. C.-Thirty-five
years is long time to make people
out liars, but Gilbert Waters has
enjoyed doing just that for a long
time.
In 1903. he wheezed his gasoline
buggymobile down to stop, wiped
the sweat and dust from his ex-
cited face and looked back trium-
phantly at the crowd running after
him. His new auto, first built in
the South, had run. 1t had run rath-
er bumpily and with deal of clat-
tering and roaring. but indubitably
it had run, after all skeptics in town
had declared it would not run.
He told New Bern that his con-
traption was the machine of the new
age, and that it would make them
all rich.
But when he started a campaign
to sell stock for a factory, he fell
short of his efforts. Finally some
of the more outspoken citizens ad-
mitted that the thing would run, but
would it keep on running? Every
body said it would not.
So the man-who-night-ha been
Ford discarded his dream of a great
buggymobile factory and went back
to his machine shop. But ever since
then, he has run his sturdy little
machine over the hills and dales of
! Craven county, and over the main
streets of New Bern, threading his
way easily through traffic without
mishap or stop. For 35 years he
! has used his auto, and seen the
streets and highways gorged with
bigger and better cars, slicker ones,
with multi-cylinders, big tires and
stream-lined bodies.
His own has a buggy chassis and
wheels-retaining even the whip
socket, into which the whimsically
minded inventor thrusts an old
whip. It is guided by steering
stick, placed on the right side, and
upon which is mounted bicycle
bell.
The tires are solid, and the engine
furnishes one speed forward, with
a maximum speed Of 35 miles per
hour.
But it runs, and has run for 35
years, carrying and fetching Gilbert
Waters safely and dependably-the
only car he drives.
