She had been in a hospital in Suffolk, Va., for ablaut two months. She had suffered for a long time from rheumatisn, but the immediate caus.- of her death was paralysis about ten days be fore. Mrs. Staley's tnaiden name was Pearce, and she was reared near Franklin, Franklin county. After she and Dr. Staley were married they made their home in Graham for a number of years. About 3' years ago Dr. Staley became pastor of the Christian church in Suffolk and they moved away, but she has always been held in fond remem brance by the friends of long ago. The burial took place Sunday in the cemetery near her old home, near Franklin. Mrs. Staley is sur vived by her mother, Mrs Pearce, several years past ninety, her hus band, Dr. .W. W.

Hog Grazing. Southern Buralist. Editor RuraHsr.—l. would like to get some information in regard to-hot? raising. I "have 60 acres that I will pasture another year, 40 acres uuder cultivation and 2u acres swamp land good for ho a. How many lions ecu I raise in this pasture? I'iease advise ine how much of this 40 acres under cul tivation to sow iu Bermuda grass and how much to have for peanuts and 'chufas for fattening these hogs in the! fall. What kind of |>eanuts and chufas would .you plant? M. O. Powell. Vox, S. C. Reply—With the forty acres of cleared land wo would suggest t hat you use 10 acres for Bermuda grass pasture and ftse the remain ing 30 acres iu fields of 5 or 10 acres each for growing sorghum, cowpeas, peanuts, cliufas, e'c., in summer time, and ,rye, oats and rape in the winter. If you could arrange to permit access from all these feeding yards to the swamp lauds at all times, this would tie a cool place for the summer sea son. Would prefer to install most of the sheds and feeding equipment in the Bermuda grass area. The Spanish peanuts will usually produce a larger yield and being small are more easily eaten by the pigs than the other varieties. Any good variety of chufas will add vegetable matter to your soil and improvAit for other crops. Proceedings of the County Board of Health.

In order to avoid colds, the card says, "Keep away from people with colds, grippe, "su ffies," and coughs. Live, work, and sleep in fresh air. Avoid over-heated rooms, sudden chilling, wet fe"t, constipation anil intemperance. Keep healthy, strong and robust at all tunes. Weak, "run down," overworked people often fall vic tims to colds which strong, healthy people ward off ; After suggesting different reme dies for the cure of a cold, the card 'concludes with the state ment: "Avoid rock aud rye, catarrh cures, and patent medi cines, at least until you are suf ficiently recovered to withstand such things." Health Insurance—American Labor Association Proposes Bill. Board of Health bulletin. Sickness and poverty are no closely related as cause and effect that they form one of the greatest social problems of to-day. Lega tors, health workers, employers and employees have long sought a remedy against sickness and its de pendency, and it is now believed that the American Labor Associa tion has.proposed a health insur ance bill that will bo the solution of this great problem. Health work ers have for some time looked fa vorably on health insurance leg islation. As a publi c health measure they believe it will be a powerful factor in the • prevention of sickness, particularly among the industrial population. Some of the benefits to be deriv ed from the health insurance bill of the American Labor Assoc iSt ion I are medical, surgical and nursing attention, including necessary hos pital care, medicine and supplies for both the insured and their de pendents, a sickness bcnef.it be ginning on the fourth day of ill ness, a maternity benefit consist ing of all necessary medical care for the wives of insureif men, a.id a funeral benefit of not more than one hundred dollars. The cost of these benefits amount to anout four percent of the wages and is to ba borne two-fifths by the employee, two-fifths oy the employer and one-fifth by. the State. . The bill makes health insurance universal for all manual workers and others earning one hundred dollars a month or less because experience has shown that volun tary insurance does not reach those who need it most. It is to be man aged jointly jy employers and workers under the supervision of the State. Basket Ball at Klon Cor. of The Gleaner. Klon College, N."C., Jan. 11, 11)17.
