State Board of Health Asks All Mothers to Cooperate With Co. Quarantine Officer. , Nobody knows what it means to have a sick child like the mother, therefore, the State Board of Health asks the mothers of this county, es pecially, to coloperate with their coun ty quarantine omder, and by all work ing together, to keep down those pre ventable diseases like whooping cough measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria, as far as is possible. Some old fashioned mothers used to believe that whooping cough and measles were like taxes, just had to come, and the sooner they "came and went," the better. Bot mothers now know different. They know that evr.i if children should have these diseases when they grow up it goes less hard with them then, and they are mora likely to recover without defects and impairments. Why, when a mother's baby, has measles if it is less than five years old, she never knows wheth er it is going to be left blind, deaf, lame, or with weakened heart or kid neys, for life. The safest plan is to take no chances with any of these so called children's diseases, Children don't have to have them, and why not protect them ? Some of the. things mothers can do to keep down whooping cough, measles, scarlet fever, isfantile paral ysis and diphtheria in their homos and communities are, first, to suspect the disease and keep home the child-, ren having the first symptoms, such as sore throats or head colds, particu larly if any contagious diseases is in the community. Second, in case no physician is called to attend the chil the mother should see that the disease is reported at once to the county quar an tine omcer who will then tell" her what to do and how to treat the case. The law requires her to do this. Thi-d every mother should respect the Quar antine Law. It may inconvenience her slightly but what will a few days of inconvenience mean if it saves child's life or even if it saves him from a life long defect like blindness whi h is often one of the after-effects of measles. The mother who disregards the Quarantine Law is not only an undesirable citizen to have in the com munity but is an enemy of little chil dren. The number of cases of contagious diseases in this county last month re ported by physicians were none. COMPANY H.

The Literary Club of the Baptist Phiiathea Class meets with Miss Ethel Chandler at the home of Mrs. Hal T. Mfe'con tonight at 8 o'clock. Preachers Asked To Observe This Day and Present This Sub ject to Congregations. Ministers of every denomination, both white and colored, in the State are being asked this year to observe December 9th as Tuberculosis Sunday. Letters and literature have already been sent to 3,200 preachers in North Carolina asking that they present this timely subject to. their congregation on this day. It is expected that more than 100,000 churches and other re ligious organizations in the country will observe Tuberculosis Sunday, this making the eighth annual observance. Fifteen hundred state and local anti tuberculosis associations are planning programs that will bring the subject of tuberculosis to the greatest number of people on this day. "This request is made of the chur ches and their pastors," says the State Board of Health, "for the main reason that a large part of the human miserv to which the churches and ministers and over one seventh of all the fun erals at which their clergymen offi ciate, are caused by this great plague. Another reason is the church is always looked to as a light-bearer. It is ex pected to embrace those causes mak ing lighter the burdens of the afflicted and relieving suffering wherever it is found. The various organizations of the churches through their work of mercy and relief have a wonderful op portunity to spread the gospel of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. "This was a work of enough impor tance in normal times, "says the Board "but since war so intensifies this dis ease, greater responsibilities come to every agency that is able to fight against it. The physical examination incident to the selective draftjmcover ed tuberculosis in the lives of thous ands of men who never suspected they had it; it is continuously being dis covered at the cantonments, and yet another stream will be those returned from France who broke down with the disease under the strenousness of war. War increases tuberculosis and in creases our responsibility to keep it down." BUYS 10,000 RED CROSS SEAL Reviews Worthiness of Cause and Gladly Gives $100 Check for War On Tuberculosis. The Jefferson Standard Life Insur ance company of Greensboro bought ten thousand Red Cross seals a few days ago. In transmitting the check of the Compay to Mrs. James R. Young, Chairman of the Red Cross Seal Com mittee in Greensboro, Mr. C. C. Tay lor, Secretary of the Company, has the following to say: "I know of no more worthy cause to which any man or corporation can con tribute than the work in which you are engaged now, namely, the sale" of Red Cross Seal Stamps. "Self-preservation is the first law of nature, and in view of the fact that 75 percent of the sales of these stamps 1 be kept in the county of Guilford to fight tuberculosis, it should com mend itself to everyon, and therefore, I think every individual and business corporation should purchase as manv as possible. I am, therefore, please! to hand you the Jefferson , Standard Life Insurance Company's check for $100.00, purchasing 10,000 of these stamps." Many Supreme Courts have ruled that it was proper for corporations to use their money in this way, and it is a paying investment for any corpo ration that employs labor. The Jefferson Standard Life Insur ance Company is progressive along many other lines, one of which we will mention at this time: It gives to every employee and policy holder an annual physical examination. In the exami nation of its employes last year it found two with incipient tuberculosis and paid their expenses at. the--Starts Saatorium for six months. Food Experts Report That It Is . a Matter of Absolute Neces sity To Save All Food. Raleigh, December 3 That the fool situation is much more serious than even the experts-have considered it- until just recently and that the criti cal period of the war is the next few . months is the authoritive information brought to Raleigh by Dr. R. L. Wil bur, Food Administrator Herbert C. Hoover's able lieutenant, who was in consultation with officials of the State Food Administration and others lead ers -in conservation during the past week. The greatest danger that threatens the Allied cause and human liberty is that there may be a collapse in Franco or England or Italy as a result of a food shortage. That this is a real danger is frankly recognized by those who are directing the war for the Al lies. The United States and Canada are the only countries from which the Allies can draw for supplies. The transportation problem is of such a grave nature that the utmost endeavor will be required to enable the author ities to transport even from America the amount of foodstuffs that will be required. The shipping problem, in fact, is giving the authorities al most as much concern as the food prob lem itself. Just how grave the food situation is may be judged from the fact that within another week we will have ex ported to our Allies as much wheat as our normal margin amounts to. The same is true of beef and pork products, and fats. A larger quantity of sugar was long since exported. All that we can send to our Allies and to the neutrals of Europe from now on will be what we can save from our normal consumption through economy and through the substitution of vege tables and other cereals for wheat, fish, poultry, game and nitrogenous vegetables for meat. The fats and sugar we send must come through re duced consumption of these products. The supply of these exportable pro ducts is being carefully gauged by the Food Administration experts and exports will be made as rapidly as they can be not to endanger the sup ply required by our own people. Tho first consideration of the Food Admin istration of course, is the welfare of the people at home and their welfare will not be endangered by shipments which will draw too heavily upon thx supply which they will require. - At the same time every individual is be ing urged and entreated to reduce his consumption of - the exportable pro ducts to the very lowest possible min imum to the end that the supply a vailabe for shipping may be increased every ounce possible Not only does the success of the war depend upon the cooperation of the American people in the matter of foodstuffs but the fate of several hun dred thousands of European neutrals is at stake. In fact, Dr. Wilbur bring.; the startling iformation that despite the very most that we can do, tens of thousands of neural people in Europe will no doubt perish from starvation during the next few months. If the American people through economy and substitution save more than sufficient foodstuffs to barely suffice for our Al lies the balance will be diverted vo the neutral nations to save as many as possible of their people from star vation. Every man, woman, or child in Am erica who saves the smallest quantity of beef or pork or mutton or sugar or fats can have the satisfaction of know ing that he is not only helping to save our friends and Allies but that he is helping to save the innocent people of neutral Europe from actual starvation and death. The old man insisted that they bury his Ford with him. Nothing would ap pease him until he had obtained this promise. "But why" asked loving rel atives. "Well, I 'ain't never got in a hole 'twouldn't pull me out." In the world's broad field of battler-- In -the bivouac of Life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle; Be a hero in the strife. Longfellow Forget others faults by remember ing your own.
