The Flu
A pei'Kon who has never hud the
flu doesn't know anything about it,
und therefore has no right to try
to describe it. Heresuy evidence u
not permissible or relevant. I have
jumt wound up u siege of flu an<J
not Ireing u doctor, I think it is my
duty to advise peopie how to treat
this disease, outline its symptoms,
and prescribe ways and means.
When your backbone aches from
one end to the other, that's it. Go to
bed.
Your head um't going to bust open,
as you will no doubt think, but it
won't hurt )t or help to drink lots
of soda water and take any flu
medicine thut might be at ban i.
Don't try to breathe through your
nose. It can't be dor e. Hub your
neck and chest and throat arid stum
rniek arid feet with all* kywls of salves.
These salves are not injurious, and
while they won't do you any good, it's
customary to use them.
You are not crying if greet drop>
of water run from your eyes ami
nose; so don't worry. If you find
,
g=gB f_
that a pain become* operative in the
lowvr end of your ?pine, and it* intensity
let* you think your kidney*
' j are swapping positions, don't get oneway:
that'a only a trick pain of the
flu.
' If your ear drum* become dead
, and your temperature ri?e? to 104
' and your ariim feel like they are
i; paralyzed and your chest becomes
' i light and your throat gets More, keep
I your poise: that's only a sign that
I you have had the flu 14 hour?, unJ
it will get worse later on.
,! When you begin to sneeze ut the
i rate of <1 times per minute, und your
! mouth get? as dry an a talcum box
lid, and your tongue becomes as
round und as rigid as a weinie, and
you have a taste in your mouth that
would cuumc you to use vulgarity if
you were to attempt to tell what it
was like, then, my dear sinful paru!
site, you are in the midst of flu, and
I death stares you in the face.
Hut when coffee begins to taste as
good as stump water, and scrumbled
: eggs remind you of mush, und water
I turns to epsom salts in dilution, and
chewing gum makes you think that
! it ain't chewing gum at all, and you
begin to think about the money you
owe, and the preacher stops coming
to see you. Well, you are on your
way to recovery, and except for a
general demented feeling and an achy
body for <i or K- months, you will bo
normal again.
V-a-n-i-t -y
Nearly everybody totes a little bit J
of vanity around with them. A lady I
told me in the very strictest confidence
the other evening that ninety-'
nine women out of ninety-four and
three quarters thought they had I
pretty leg's (pardon my gruffncss), i
and that accounted for the further j
tendency to make 'em shorter, that i.- I

appreciates a big wart he has on top
of his bald head. Somebody told
him in years ago that a wart on the
head was significant of much grey
matter, and he lets everybody see
1 "at wart as often as possible. He
may hn\e plenty sense, hut up till
going to press, he has never used any
of his imaginary grey matter. He
got to the legislature once, and introduced
a bill in require fltl dogs to
wear bells so'> a inan could shoot

Ford's Rubber
Plant in Brazil
j . . - *
A few yearn from now the British
may hatch schemes to quadruple the
price of rubber without sending a
single chill dorwn the marrow of a
Yankee flivver driver. They will no
longer have a monopoly. Their playfulness
in putting the thumbscrews to
America on-wheels set some of our
ingenious and determined industrialists
to developing means of defense.
Firestone rushed to Africa and filled
Liberia full of rubber plants. Ford
sent a man down to Brazil to match
every nut on the trees with a Ford
tire hud.
Mr. Ford's tire farm is in the heart
of the Amazon jungle, thousands of
acres of which have not yet been seen
by a white man. Spreading over
more than 1,000,000 acres?big as the
state of New Jersey?the rubber
plantation lies along the bank of the
Tupajqz river, a tributary of the
Amazon. It has a frontage of lid
miles along the bank of this river,
five miles wide, where ocean-going
vessels may dock for loading and unloading,
though the place is 700 miles
from the sea coast. This is a region
of big rivers.
It will be several years before the
place gets to working under full
steam, but when it does it will be
able to furnish enough rubber for
the whole United States, according to
some statisticians. Getting 500
pounds of rubber to the acre?only
a fair average?tutu, production of
some 4(?0,()00 tons of rubber could be
reached. Total U. S. consumption
in one year is about 360,000 tons.
Ford's contract enables him to
play almost the role of king?at least
lord of the jungle. He may engage
in banking, commerce, contract with
labor without government interference;
build highways, railroads and
run steamship lines. Greatest of all,
he can expropriate land for his use,
and can bring his material into Braz.l
without duty.
The first big job is to clear the
country and get it planted. There
are some rubber trees; already in a
wild state. There are also forests
of mahogany trees and uncounted
brazil nut trees. It is planned to
make these native products of the
jungle largely pay for the clearing
of the land. There are also plenty
monkeys, jaguars and snakes?up to
30 feet in length?but these articles
v '
are i^ot {.-punted on to yield much
profit.
According to u recent announcement
finished tires will be produced
in Brazil, thus giving the country the
full benefit of the revived rubber industry.
There are planned achoola,
churches, a library, theater, hospital
and moat of the other properties of
' a city in addition to the factories*' A
'sawmill ia already there cutting the
lumber for the buildinga while Ford's
ateamera ure plying the Amazon and
the Tapajoz.
The hoapital will be the center of
a war planned againat malaria and
againat the hookworm. The few
j natives in the region have always
suffered from malaria'and look on it
as a matter of course. Hut the war
on it has already been declared, natives
being isoluted and treated, while
the responsible mosquito ia waiting
for destruction.
A big r ubber business will be nothing
new for this part of the world.
Until 1910 this section was the greatest
rubber-producing territory on
earth. It was the home of the rubber
tree, and the native plant was a
gold mine until ruined in competition
with its own child?rubber from the
East Indies. Seed from rubber trees
in the Amazon valley started the
British rubber business in Malaysia,
which being worked along businesslike
lines soon crushed the haphazard
gathering of latex from the
wild trees in Brazil.
To get on a footing of competition
with the producers in the Orient,
Brazil rubber needed capital. By
taking Henry Ford for an ally capital
has been assured. Prospects are
that the Amazon valley will boom
again; the country will be made
happy and prosperous once more by
its own great native product, and U.
S. auto drivers will be protected from
the cut-throat methods of monoply
holders.?The Pathfinder.

Darlington, Jan. 6.? Of interest
throughout the entire state is the announcement
that a limited association
has been formed between Mendel L.
Smith of Camden and Samuel Want
of the bar. The announcement comes
from the law offices of Mr. Want. He
says that Judge Smith will be the
"trial counsel" of the firm. Both of
these attorneys are well known over
the state.

officials at the New York Automd^ 1

interest the continued enthusiasm I
that the crowds bestowed on the new I

iterated the statement made a few I
weeks ago by W. S. Knudscn, presi- I
dent, that 1929 production would 1
equal at least 1,250,000 units. One I
of the salient tributes paid Chevrolet J
by visiting automobile men at tVre I
show involved the company's re* I
| mailable evolution from four cylin-1
