o'clock the Parent-Teacher Associa
tion will meet at the Graded School
auditorium for the purpose of effect
ing a permanent organization and to

It is desired that not only parents

On Friday night, Not. 7th, Mr.
Frederick Archer, Supt. of the
Greensboro schools, will address the
Association. Greensboro has a very

Forming Alamance Company of Na
tional Guard.
An invitation and an opportunity
are now given former soldiers and
others to enlist in an Alamauce Com
pany of the National Guard. Many
of the boy? of Alamance were mem
bers of old Co. I, 120 th Inf., one of
the most famous fighting organiza
tions of the A. E. F., and it is de
sired to perpetuate the reputation of
this organization. There will be an
annual encampment with full pay.
The annual pay for drill at boms
will be S9O to $153. Candidates
will apply to Capt. Copeland on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
at P. 8. Dixon's tailor shop.
Caught Breaking in Store.
A negro, who gave his name as
W. W. Rush from Petersburg, Va.,
was caught Tuesday night in the act
of breaking in Mr. Cbas. A. Switzer's
store. He was at the back door with
a bar when Chief of Police A. W.
Moser and Night Police Boyd R.
Trolinger hailed him. |The ilegro
was equipped with an automatic
'■ ready for business.
Graham has been afflicted with a
number of house-breakings lately,
and now, that a Night Policeman has
been put on, it is hoped that the
breakings will be less frequent and
that some of the thieves will be
caught. Rush is in jail.
It is for the, Judge at court to
sentence criminals, but we have a
sneaking notion that anyone, now
while laborers are in demand at the
highest wages this country has ever
known, caught stealing or attempt
ing to steal should have the extreme
limit of the law and then some.

HOW TO REACH RHEUMATISM
THROUGH THE BLOOD
Powerful Iron in liquid form makes rich,
red blood and drives uric acid out
of the system forever.
It is now generally known that
Rheumatism Is caused by uric acid
which is formed in the blood and de
posited through thousands of little
capillaries and nerves in different,
parts of the body.
If yon have healthy, rich, red,
strong blood, you will never have
Rheumatism. Healthy blood elimi
nates uric acid, and does not allow it
to stay in the body to cripple and pain.
The successful and reliable method
of getting this great essential into
the blood is through the use of a nat
ural form (/ soluble iron known ss
Acid Iron Mineral. The nerves are
immediately strengthened, bodily
vigor is restored ana the genersl im
provement of all ailing conditions
prove that the blood is getting the
iron it must have to maintain perfect
health. With the blood thus made
healthy, uric acid is eliminated and

Red Cross Work-
Third Roll Call!
! The Third Roll Call of the
American Red Cross is Nov. 2-11.
The Graham Chapter made sueh
a fine record in War Work and
daring the Influenza epidemic,
that it must be held together so
that both the organization and
money be ready should farther
need arise for it. Only recently
a contribution was made to a
family where typhoid fever was
raging.
"Hie Boy Scouts will make a
thorough canvass of the (own and
it is hoped that all will pay the
one dollar annual membership
fee.
The National Organization
needs $15,000,000 as a war fund,
and quo'a of Graham Chapter
is *BOO.OO. ,Any contribution over
ami above a dollar membership
fee will be applied to this.
There is always work some
where for the Red Cross to do,
and the dollar membership fee can
be easily spared this day of geu
eral prosperity. May our com
munity be so favored as to seldom
need its services, but let us be
ready.

Time For Installing Septic Tanks Ex
tended by State Board
of Health.
The State Board of Health has
ex'ended the time of construction
of nanltary septic tanks until the
question of sewerage system has
been determined. If,' after the
survey and estimate is snbmitted,
the town decides to install the
sewerage system, extension of
time for installation of sanitary
septic tanks will be extended until
the sewerage system is completed
and in operation; provided, how
ever, owners of property in Gra
ham, coming under the State-wide
sanitary septic law, shall bave
signified in writing their intention
of making sewer connections as
soon as available, and the town
shall t.uru over to the State Uoiu-il
of Health tho foriy-cont sanitary
weptic tank license tax for each
bouse or other buildiug concern
ed, in the manner set forth in the
agreement between tlitf town of
Graham and the State iioard of
Health. The above are the con
ditions under which the people of
Graham may '"defer construction
of sanitary septic tanks without
becoming liable after October
1, 1919.
All, whosri houses are not served
by sewer or provided with sani
tary septic tanks approved by the
State lioard of Health, are law
breakers and guilty of a misde
meanor punishable by lino of from
$5 00 to SSO 00. If it be decided
that, the town will have a system
of sewerage, the city officials have
taken the matter up with tho
State Board of Health, requesting
an extension of time for construc
tion of sanitary septic tanks suf
ficient to allow the sewer system
to be installed and placed in
operation.
The State Board of Health has
not tho right nor the authority to
exempt any person or community
from the requirements of Chapter
71, Public Laws of 1919, but deems
the advantage of sewerage over
sanitary septic tanks sufficient to
justify non-compliance with the
State-wide septic law.

During the coming week there
will be a representative of the
town to visit every home to ex
plain the agreemeut between the
t«.wn and the State floard of
Health with reference to the ex
tension of time of the State-wide
Sanitary Law, and, at the same
time, will collect4oc. for the State,
this being tlie State Inspector's
fee; but, as a matter of courtesy
to the town, the State will with
hold sending the inspectors to this
town until the matter of sewerage
shall have been decided. Hence,
they require the town to collect
the inspection fee of 40c., which
will bo turned over to the State
Hoard of Health.
