There Is no magic sore or pre * ventiOn for influenza, but the in dividual may do much to fortify himself against the disease by observing * few simple precau tions that all physicians and health officers have admitted to be effective in gnarding the in dividual against the disease. The 8tits Board of Health is offering to the public a few simple rules of personal hygiene which, if they are heeded, will be of value in not only prevent ing influenza but in lessening its severity in ease it is npt prevent ed. The rules in briefju-e: Keep your body in good con dition. This is not only the best preventive, but determines largely your ability to pulL through, in case you get the disease. r * Avoid excesses thar weaken the body and lower rebalance, such as overwork, overeating, and overdrinking. Get plenty of rest in bed, ade quate sleep, fresh air fey and night, and Nourishing food. Avoid constipation. /f*.

Good Roads and Community Development, Automobiles and good roads have perhaps done as much, if not more, to build up the mercantile interests of Sanford than any other two agencies. A few years ago when we had bad roads farmers who lived at a great distance from Sanford would have to lose practically a whole day in coming to town to make their purchases, con sequently many who lived at a distance of 15 or 20 miles did not come often. They made the most of their purchases at towns nearer their homes. But now since they have good roads to travel over, tirey can work - Vrrl - SnVardwy noon, jump in their automobiles, make the run to Sanford in an hour or two, pass the time of day with their neigh bors, do their shopping and return home before night and In time to make all preparations for Sunday. And often we are glad to see that they bring along that hard-worked, care-worn wife and maybe a half dozen or more children. Can you Imagine any one that would enjoy that trip more than that family? It Is a real treat to that tired wife and she returns home greatly refreshed in both mind and body. Would the farmers,be will ing to do without these improved high ways for the amount ofHaxes they pay? The point we started out to make was the farther the good roads are extend* ed into the rural sections of the coun try the greater the benefit to the busfc nesB men of the town as well as the people living in the surrounding coun try. We believe that it would be money well invested If the business people of Sanford would contribute liberally to the extension of our im proved highways and to the building of others. Sanford has beoome the trade oeuter^for all this seotion and our splendid highways radiating from the center have done muoh to give it its commercial prestige. The people of other towns In this section have stopped waiting on train schedules to come to Sanford to do their shopping, but like many of the country people they oome in their caA and save time by it. The better the roads the great er the inducement to oome. Automo biles and good roads are putting new life and a renewed energy in the com munity. In a few years we expect to see San ford one of the leading tobacco mark ets of the Stale and to build- and ex tend our Improved roads so that plant ers can bring in their tobacco from all the surrounding country will help to make it so. Auto trucks for hand ling tobacco and other farm produce are coming Into use more and more every year, but tha heavy truck cannot be successfully handled over unimproved roads. Great trucks of tobaeoo passed through Sanford last fall going to the Apex market. The good road leading, from, here to that place made It possible to do this. Let us establish the market and build the good roads and the tobaeoo will oome to Sanford.

Hon. Wm. J. Bryan spoke lore the Legislature Friday and was given attentive hearing. A special Dailey News corres pondent from Raleigh states that Senators and represents tives of the North Carolina general assembly received Gov ernor Biokett in Representative ball last Thursday and listened with intense interest and mucb enthusiasm for nearly two hours while the governor in person presented his bi-ennial message. So many features of the mes sage drew out bursts of applause that it would difficult to indicate just what statement of recom mendation elicited the greatest expression of approval. His de claration for ample tax provision for assuring six months’ school under the new constitutional amendment and for giving the teachers adequate salaries in stead of the present ridiculously small compensation, stirred great applause. The insistence that there must be advancement not only in road building but in road maintenance and that the county that builds roads and then fails to provide amply for their maintenance is like a farmer planting a crop and then failing to cultivate it, brought a storm of applause, both for the principle expressed and the characteristically im pressive manner in which this viewpoint was made. me governor s views on tax ation met a strong response as did his recommendation that the stath convicts be assured a status of "prisoners of hope” in being placed at the state farm under conditions that will assure the best development of their morals and health. His presentation bf North Carolina's part in the war work brought vociferous ap plause as the governor waxed more eloquent in his recitation of the deeds of the state and the nation in this tltanio struggle that has, in the victory of the allies, brought assurance ef world wide freedom and brother hood.

It is in a good neighborhood, tooMialble to good schools and ohuroh* WHERE PEACE 18 NOT YET. Pew Places Cited Where Force of Arms Is still Menacing. According to a dispatch from Paris, wars and rumors of wars still prevail. The peace of the entente and the central powers is not world peace. Here are a few corners of the earth where force of arms is still menacing: All Russia is, of course, a oat tle-ground. Poland is fighting the Ukrain ians in Galicia, and Hungary threatens to'join the fray. Lem berg. strong Polish city in the heart of that portion of Galicia which is mostly Ukrainian, is the storm center. Polish forces are organizing to oppose the advance of the Bol sheviki from Russia. Italy and the jugo-oiavs threaten battle over the eastern coast of the Adriatic. Each side declares it will not yield, and the situation may be beyond the power of the peace congress to settle. Revolt has broken out In Aby sinnia, and troops are being dispatched to rescue the Chris tians from the Moslems. Chile and Peru have shown a disposition to adjust their differ ences over Tacna and Africa, but there is still a showing of teeth and a threat of war in the air, which, if it should come, would involve Bolivia, and per haps several other South Ameri can countries. Mexico sees a renewal of hostilities between the Carranza party and the elements opposed to the President. There is re newed talk of American inter vention, which would mean war for America at her own back door. San Domingo is still occupied >y American * forces, Bent in to jut down rebillion in the island. Cuba fears Bolsheviki upris ngs as the outcome of two general strikes in the last month, md its newspapers discuss possibility of a nets American intervention there. The trouble with the demands oft tfee Cuba Eail worfit, republic of Uatalonia. The Monarchist ' party in Portugal, in the face of the world trend to democracy, would re establish the throne, and plots to this have been discovered. Tne Price ol North Carolina Corn. The average price paid for corn in North Caro'ina towns was $181 per bushel during December, says W. R. Camp in his monthly review of prices. Usually the price paid for North Carolina corn is less at this time of year than what it would cost to deliver Western corn in the State- The average price paid for corn in twenty-nine conties is $1.78 and the range of prices $1.25 to $2.25. If the hope of Western growers to obtain $1-75 for their corn later in the season is realized North Carolina farm ers may obtain $2 00 a bushel for corn this year again. The crop in the United States is reported 155,000,000 bushels less than the five year average in the seven surplus States. The total for the seven leading corn produc ing States on a five year average is 1,484,531,000 bushels and the estimated 1918 production is 1.330,297,000 bushels. The num ber of hogs to consume corn this year is greatly increased over last. However, as the food regulation requiring the use of corn as a substitue has been re moved, demand by North Caro lina mills for home grown corn will not be as great as last year. The regulation of hog prices by the U. S. Pood Administration is undoubtedly having a stabiliz ing effect upon the price of corn. Farmers’ Union Elects OlUcers.
