Often on his rounds he took his gun with him, in case he might get a shot at a rabbit or pigeon. One day, carrying his gun, he met a farmer, who eyed the gun and asked: "Who are you going to see, doctor?" "Old Bert Hinkle, at Four Oaks farm." "Well, you won't need the gun. Old Bert pegged out last night.". Transferred "The trouble with you is the same as with another patient of mine," said the doctor. "He worried and got nervous dyspepsia. He was worrying himself to death about his tailor's bill. Now he is cured." "But how did you cure him?" asked the patient. "Told him to stop worrying, and he's done so," replied the doctor. "I know," was the doleful answer. "But I'm his tailor."

Synthetic Motor Fuel * A coal mining company in Germany has established the first large scale plant for producing heavy synthetic motor fuel for high speed Diesel engines. The process uses as raw material a mixture of tar oils produced in coking of bituminous coal and so called "Kogasih H," a material produced from gasifted coke, or carbon monoxide and ^hydrogen. The following interesting letter was recently received by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. F. Renich, of the Woodstock Sentinel, from Henry Nell and family of McHenry, who are enjoying the winter in Florida: Lake Worth, Fla., Jan. 20, 1941. Friend Charley and Wife, Having some winter weather 4nd Isome time on my hatids will write you ^a few lines. We left home the 27th "of November In a snow storm, giving you that "here we come Florida" feeling. Traveled over 200 miles in snow and ice, couldn't make any time. Scottsburg, Ind., was our first night out. The second day had bridges out, so couldn't make any time. Stayed at Knoxville, Tenn., that night The third day we went over the Smokie Mountains. It had rained and turned cold. The trees were covered with ice and the bushes covered with hoar frost. The sun was out and it made a beautiful scene. One place we went under a waterfall where the water fell over the car and froze as it hit the ground. Took most of the day to get over the mountain, as we drove slow to enjoy the scenery. Stayed at Wrens, Ga., the third night. Drove 520 miles the fourth day to our Florida home at Lake Worth. Everyone was getting tired of driving and glad to get home. The month of December was swell, the beach every day and lots of sunshine. Everyone nice and tan. Junior and I bought a surf-fishing outfit. The first time out caught 5 bluefish. Haven't caught any since, turf-fishing. See by the paper they are catching a few bluefish again. Will have to try it this week sometime. Went to Miami to the All American air maneuvers Saturday. It turned cold so took my overcoat along and did I need it? They tell us you are not in Floriad unless, you are in Miami, so I said to the family we are going to Florida today, but found it just as cold there as here, so won't feel so bad when someone says, "Ah, you weren't in Miami?" Saw the Duke of Windsor fly in. He gave a speech and all in all stole the show. We were a little disappoint• ed in the show, wasn't what we expected. They had over 1,000 airplanes there. Junior got quite a kick out of it. Went deepsea fishing Monday. Mr. end Mrs. Little, my relish man. Doc. Hopfear, who has a cottage at Chapel Hill, Junior and I. When we got started the helper iasked if we went out to see the ship •that had grounded the night before. That was the first we heard of it. When we got out of the inlet into the ocean the captain was curious so we went over to see what the ship looked like. It Is grounded 300 yds. from shore just above the old Singer hotel. ' Stranded on the Reef -f The big thing down here li ^ie Manhattan, so will skip the fishing for a while and tell about the Manhattan. It is an eleven million dollar ship, has made several trips across the ocean to bring back refugees. Wan making a trip to California and had 200 people aboard and a crew of 500. They tell me, 40 miles north of here the Gulf stream is. 8 miles out from fchore. Here it Is one mile out. The Gulf stream travels north 8 knots an hour, so the ships try to keep out of the current, to make time and save fuel. Had full moon and highest tide in a long whllfe. The moon as you know controls the tides. Also had ground swells caused from a storm at Cape Hatteras. The ground swells made it difficult for boats to g«ft near the Manhattan. I see by this mornittg's paper that they are taking everything off the Manhattan to lighten tne sihp so they can try to pull ft off within the next ten days. They had 100 thousand gallons of oil on board. The reports were they were going to throw It overboard. The people were up in erms as this would spoil their beaches. They brought two tanks and are pumping the oil into .'them and taking them to Miami. We drove over 'to see It from shore Tuesday, took some pictures and am going to try to be there when they pull her off the reef. Clara and family drove over Monday and said they were selling pop and peanuts and whatnots, sure ftfttt in starting a new business. The papers said over 50 thousand cars had been over to see the ship up to Saturday. Twelve thousand cars were there Sunday. Took seven traffic cops to keep traffic going. You have most likely read about this ship so will go fisihng again. , Go Back To Fishing Mrs. Little caught the first fish, a 20 lb. king. Junior hooked a sail and lost it, I got a strike and lost. Things were qiiMt for hours, finally the cap* vols* •pear °ne«* Lots of fun, So we all forgot about cur poles and watched. There must have been about 200 porpoise playing. Wis threw the harpoon but missed. Doc heard his reel singing so dashed over to his pole, but couldn't stop that fish. It took out all the line. The line broke at the leader, so saved the line. Things quiet again, Junior and Mr. Little fell asleep. The captain called to Doc to reel his line in closer, a sail following back of boat Everyone on their toes. Doc gets the strike. Just then Junior gets a strike. Junior's line gets tangled and when the captain set the hook the line snapped. The fish jumped through the air back and forth four times trying to throw the hook and line. It was a beautiful sight Doc was watching Junior's fish and lost, his own. Junior hooked two more sail, but lost them. We were about ten miles out and I sew a sail following my bait. He finally took it set the hook and It took me 20 minutes to land him; and was I tired? Seven foot, 2 inches. To steady my nerves had a cup of tea, had to take 2 hands to get it to my mouth and the people .say I wouldn't get a kick out of catching a sail. It was getting late so started for home, no more luck. Seen a dozen shark come up and smell of the jpait, but wouldn't bite. The ground swells were bad, so the captain wanted to get into the inlet before dark. We didn't make it. When we got to the inlet we waited for one of those big waves and gave the boat full speed arid vjs came in on the big wave. Have never seen them so large In the inlet. Got home, Clara and the girls had a good supper and the end of a good day's fishing. No one got seasick. Junior didn't have any appetite?-- only ate six hard boiled eggs and some candy, not bad I'd say. More Fishing Planned ' Going 60 miles south of Miami bottom fishing tomorrow. Doc Wally Simon, from St Louis, Junior and I Forget the name of keys. Doc was out and got 25 fish, averaged over 18 lbs. apiece. Not bad for a half-day's fishing. Should have lots of fun, as that is different from sail fishing. Well a little on the Florida sunshine. December was swell. January not so hot. Lots of rain and not 5 minute rains either. Cold and rain for 3 days and nights. Now having the heater going so as to keep warm. They say this is unusual. The weather man predicts frost and cold for the next 3 days in the center of the state. Time is passing fast, expect to leave here the 17th of March for home. Everyone feeling fine. En closing a picture of my sailfish. Your friend, HANK NELL and FAMILY. Among the Sick Principal early signs and symptoms: Usually begins like a cold in the head with fever, running nose, fratery inflamed eyes and sneezing. The rash appears on the third or fourth day and consists of irregulat groups of dull red, slightly raised spots, varying considerably in size. These are usually first seen on the forehead and face and spread rapidly Over the entjre body. A positive sign of measles is the so-called Koplik spots 'which appear early. These are bluish-white specks upon a red background which are Usually best seen on the inside of Cheeks, opposite the molar teeth. Measles are infectious even before the rash appears. The after-effects are often more serious than the disease, and it behooves us to note and regard early symptoms as described above. Do Not send your child to school if he has a cold! Place child in bed andcommit with your family physician. Remember the laws on isolation and quarantine -- Quarantine ofHhe. Case From onset of the disease until seven days after appearance of rash and until the catarrhal symptoms abnormal secretions have ceased. • Quarantine of Contacts Any child who has never had measels and therefore susceptible needs to be quarantined for fourteen days from date of last exposure, and consequently shall be excluded from school for fourteen days from date of last exposure. If your child shows signs of a cold, the co-operation of parents will be appreciated if they will carry out the above suggestions! A.
