After going in swimming three

this was the favorite recreation.
Other types of recreation were soft
ball, volley ball, pitching horseshoes
and picture shows. The camp would
not have been complete had the
girls and boys failed to dance the
Virginia Reel, the favorite past-time

The lack of food was surely no

Off egg, covers approximately 10
acres and has 10-foot springboard

Opened Through Townsmen's Effort
The park, operated by the Missis-

opened at considerable effort of
townsmen and businessmen of Du-
rant. who under the work of the
Chamber of Commerce at that time
raised funds to get the matter
settled. j. L. Longinotti, banker and
merchant, was one of those who
made several trips to Washington in
effecting the deal.
The park had its beginning with
the purchase of 400 acres of land
at IS an acre. The timber on the
grounds, now zone of the finest
stands of pine timber in the coun-
try" according to one person, is
now estimated to be worth $4,000

Carcasses of food producing ami

anthrax spore vaccine will be con-
demned as unfit for food if pre-
sented for inspection at establish
ments operating under Federal meat
inspection in less than six weeks
following such treatment; and in
any case, regardless of the period
of time elapsing between treatment
and inspection, if there remain evil

The carcasses of such meat pro-
ducing animals slaughtered within

Negro Arsonist
Dies In Flames,
Officials Report
Victim Thought To
Have Set Fire To BIdes.
$1,000, Estimated Toll

Apparently enraged because he
had been asked to move, William
Beard OF Lexington, Negro residing
on the c. c. Pahlen Estate four miles
from Lexington. Tuesday night
met death allegedly when clothes
he was wearing caught fire while he
was attempting to burn a vacant
house on the place, after having
burned the one in which he lived,
along with personal belongings.
chickens, hogs and other property.
Total estimated damage was an
proximately $4,000. The buildinas
were uninsured, according to Homer
Davis, present owner.
According to a report from Coun-
ty Coroner w. D. Ford, the body
was charred beyond Identification,
but was alleged to be that of Beard.
An inquest was held Wednesday
morning with verdict of accidental
death.
Judge Ford said an empty kerosene
can was found near the victims
body which showed hand removed.
1t was thought that in attempting
to burn the second, and vacated
house. the Negro had poured fuel
in the fireplace in order to furnish
light, and had allowed the heat
from the flame to set fire to his
oil-soaked clothes.
In reporting the losses, it was
said the household goods which had
belonged to the Negro, together
with the barn, three hogs and 20
chickens were consumed in the
flames, together with two new sad
dies which were the property of Mr..
Davis. The Negro had apparently
rolled out of the house four new
spools of barb wire which were not
burned.
MIR. Davis said the Negro had
retired from work, and that he had
been requested to move after one
and one-half years of staying after
retirement. His wife had left him
some months ago.

High Blood Pressure
New Rice DIET Relieves

Doctors now are using simple
rice diet to obtain wonderful re-
suits in the treatment of high blood
pressure.
In some cases marked relief has
been obtained in just four days
however, some patients must be
kept on this riot diet for a number
OF months. The majority of patients
have been effectively relieved or
have greatly benefited
Since heart disease and high
blood pressure now ranks as the
nations Number One Killer, it is
especially significant and encourag-
ing that this simple rice diet is most
effective in the treatment of the
most serious and fatal form of "hy-
pertensions," persistent high blood
pressure.
The rice diet treatment of high
blood pressure as developed by DR..
Walter Kempner of the Duke Uni
versity School of Medicine, Durham,
North Carolina.
Other physicians also have made
notable contributions to this inn
portant development and now the
rice diet treatment of high blood
pressure is widely used by doctors
throughout the nation.
The patient should eat from 6 to
10 ounces (dry-weight) of white
rice-boiled or steamed, unsalted-
every day. In addition, fresh fruits
should be eaten daily. All fruits can
be eaten except dates, nuts and
avocadoes. The patient must not eat
canned, dried or preserved fruits,
or fruit derivatives, to which any
substance other than sugar has been
added. White or brown sugar may
be eaten without restriction. The
patient is allowed no water, no
salt, no fat. The only beverage per-
mitted is fresh fruit juice. All fresh
juices are allowed-but tomato and
vegetable juices are forbidden.
Specifically. DIR. Kempner's rice
diet for the treatment of high blood
pressure consists exclusively OF
white rice, fresh fruit, fresh fruit
juices, and sugar-nothing else.
The rice provides 900 to $500 ca.
tories daily. Additional Galleries. to
total up to 1000 daily. come from
the sugar, fresh fruit and fresh fruit
juices.
Various notifications of the rice
diet have been developed by doctors
for the treatment of less severe cases
of high blood pressure. In these
diets white rice of course. is the
basic food but certain other foods
are permitted in addition to fresh
fruit, fresh fruit Juices and sugar.
In all cases. this rice diet-like
all other diets-should be taken at
the direction and under the super
vision of physician.
