Christmas Messenger Helps to Re lieve And Prevent Disease. . Here are six ways in which the money you spend for Red CroBS Christmas Seals may be used: (1) Tuberculosis patients, who are in need of food, clothing, sanatorium care or other neces sities may be lelieved. . (2) A visiting nurse may be engaged to go out to the homes the poor and givejinstruction and advice on the treatment and pre vention of tuberculosis. She is a most valuable educational and .preventive agency. C6) A special campaign lor a city or countv hospital may be carried on, and the community be thereby induced to assume its share of the tuberculosis burden, Tim your money is nWltiplied. (4) A dispensary may be main tained where patients and. their families may call for free advice and examination. : , (5) Open air schools and fresh air classes may be started, where boys and girls who have tuber culosis or are threatened with it may be built up in body , and mind.- a, 'J't'.r$.

The North Carolina liquor law have become obsolete in this pare of the country, being no longer observed. True most of the li quor comes(in quart packages, but a person can buy a quart and have it shipped as often as he pleases by slightly changing his name, and having it shipped in the name of others as is frequent ly done. He can also use every Express office from Bovkins to Lewiston and from Tarboro to Suffolk .and have one or more quarts, coming every day. Li quor comes to Rich Square for people living in Lewiston and other places and we are inform ed these same people have it shipped to' Roxobel, Kelford and otherf points.. . ' Evasion of the North Carolina liquor laws is an easy matter, especially when no effort is made to enforce them. John Robert Doe can have a quart shipped to himself pne day, the next day to j;: r; Doe. the third day to J. Doe the fouf th day to R; Doe. and tbe fifth day the shipment goes to the next nearest Express office and so On,in this way there is a steacry stream oi quarts com ing in aH the time.

Perhaps the most marked improvement shown in any Virginia city under the new prohibition law is shown diere by conditions generally in police circles since the first day of December. During the first 16 days of 1915, 593 arrests were made by the Petersburg police for all causes, as against 39 for the cor responding period of this month. . The total arrests in December. 1915, were 1,008. Of this num ber 548 were arrested for drunk enness as against seven on the same charge for the first 16 days in this month. Sections formerly occupied al most solely by saloons are now being filled with other business houses, and an advance in prop erty values in these sections is reported by real estate men. Norfolk VirginianPilot. Dinner With Domestic Science Class On Monday of this week a, numberof us wereinyitedtodine with this class. Several could not attend, and so cannot appre ciate what they missed. Mr. J. W Weaver, Mrs. John Shoulars, Misses Holman and Hatch of the faculty-and -J.- E. anerMrerflol-'' den were present. And to say we were surprised puts it lightly The writer at least expected to see a few little fancy thing3 like playing dolls. Then imagine our delight when there began to come before us a great big, ricbN sure-enough dinner. Miss Mary Ellen Griffin, of Woodland, pre sided . as hostess. And by her sweet manner, and her quiet, lady-like grace, put us all at per fect ease. And we could not but think how gracefully she will preside, some sweet day at a ta ble of her own, for she knows how. Miss Janie Bolton served, and nobody could beat her. And Miss Janie never looked lovlier than on this occasion, with her cheeks flushed, and in her serv ing attire. Another worthy ac comp ishment, to know how to serve, and she showed no less proficiency in this line than our hostess in hers. And they could have changed, doubtless, with equal grace. I have never eaten a meal more nicely prepared and served than this. I don't know who of the class were behind the curtain preparing the meal, but whoever they were, one and all, they deserve the highest praise, and our lasting thanks, also to. Miss Fallon, the teacher. She ha's proven that her science is not a mere theory, but a tremen dous fact. I believe her work of , making better housekeepers will . make the world better, I mean more moral Nothing preys on the better elements of a "man's nature more than poorly prepar ed and unwholesome food Many , times he is driven into dissipa tion for the lack of nourishment So we offer to Miss Fallon our highest praise for the success she has attained, 'as proven by this dinner, and our sincere thanks for the pleasure it 'gave us all. Prof i Roberta is teaching; our boys to make the things we eat, and Miss Fallon how to pre pare them, and there are ; better days ahead for this community. -H Sighlr ibenajf of all present; - i 1 ' J 'r i "4 v A-'h' -, . i'' .';'i''t: , :" V TiH ;'.' 4 V. 0
