Fishing To Be
Scarcer After
Recent Floods
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waller Hotel.

Raleigh, Sept. 1O.-A large pro-
portion of North Cardinals fish

of mcIodic fame in that they swan
and they swan back over the dam
after the recent floods; but some Of
them were left high and dry by re-
ceding waters, and others were
swept far down stream out of their
accustomed haunts.
And so it is estimated by John d.
Findlay Of the Game and Inland Fish
division of the Department of Con-
servation and Development that fish
ing will be made at least little
scarccr for the next year or so.
In addition, damage to the ply
steal properties of the hatcheries at
Marion, Boone, Mount Mitchell and
Roaring Gap are estimated by MI,
Findlay at somewhere between SlO,-
600 and $4,000.
The flash floods in the west
washed out some of the hatchery
dams, filled up the Matching ponds
and did other damage.
Fortunately there were not as
many small fish in the ponds as
would have been the case earlier in
the season. Most of the hatchery fish
had already been distributed and
placed in the mountain streams.
These are the olV:s which did a
fine job Of swimming against the

trout always swim against the cur
rent; and said that after the recent
floods it was only few days before
the majority of the trout swan back

they had been washed far down.

instance, and ipecac for amoeblc
dysentery. All of our experience,
such as it was, indicated that the
magic bullet for germs would be
a dive (mercurochrome is a IA
miliar example,, and sultanlla-
mide is a form of dye.
There seems to be no doubt now
that in many infections it does
do that magical thing-when abb
sorbed into the blood, it kills or
stops the action of infective liv-
ing germs while doing no harm to
the living blood cells or body cells
in the midst Of which the germs
are growing.
Effective in Many Infections
The list of diseases in which the
new drugs have been found useful
is long. Most of them are due to
the kind of germs known as coccl.
A coccus is round sometimes they
grow in chains as the streptococcl;
sometimes in clusters as the sta
phylococci; sometimes in pairs, as
the pneumococci.r
Sulfanilamide is very effective
against streptococcal infections,
even those hitherto considered
fatal-such as blood-stream infec-
tons. In scarlet fever, which is
probably due to a streptococcus, it
works wonderfully, and in middle
ear infections in children the re-
suits are so good that in one hos
pital l know of the number of
mastoid operations last year were
cut in two as compared to previous
years.
In pneumonia the saving in life
has amounted to from SO to rs per
cent. A form of the drug closely
related and called sulfapyridine
has, however, proved more eff
:ective than sulfanilamide itself.

ably fatal, the death rate has been
cut to 10 or Is per cent, and while
the final summary of results does
not quite justify the statement
made a year or two ago by a prom
inent physician that Now, no one
need die of pneumonia" still the
results have shown great improve
ment.
Action Mystery
Staphylococcal infections are
usually seen on the skin in the
form of boils or carbuncles. But
when the staphylococcus does in
wade the blood, it is much more
serious condition than streptococ-
cic invasion. Another form of the
drug, sulfathiazole, has proved
more effective than the original
in these conditions.
No one knows certainly just
how the drugs act. There are two
schools of thought-one which be-
lieves that they kill or inhibit the
action of the germs by direct ac-
ton, the other which believes they
stimulate the tissues to furnish
unfavorable ground for the germs
growth.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

write an article on diseases of the
tongue. / have had a singing,
burning sensation on my tongue
for year. I know it is the result
of an old irritation"
Answer - Burning, singing
tongue is much more likely to be
the result of arrangements of the
blood-anemia-or poor nutrition
than local irritation. The use of
liver, potatoes, whole wheat bread
and fresh fruits helps, as well as
attention to any bad teeth or snags
in the mouth.

The construction work on Jones
Drug Store is providing two things
first, a step toward town beauti-
fication, and second, a source of in
tense interest to spectators. We
were Sidewalk contractors" once
ourselves, having watched with
avid interest the construction Of a
three story building from the
ground up. Fascination reached
the point where work and even
lunch hours were shortened or ac-
tually sacrificed. Conscience rear
ed its ugly head over the neglected
work, and hunger gnawed upon
our giblets after the forgotten
lunches. Watching construction
work is like eating peanuts.
Bossy likes wet paint, and will
lick it off a freshly painted build
ing, according to a release of the
Delaware Agriculture Extension
Service. Thousands of cows die
from paint poisoning every sum
mer, so that no time should be
wasted in calling a veterinarian if
your COW should find the freshly
painted barn very appetising. Why
is it that females are always
tempted to eat the things that
aren't good for them?
