family and thus qualify for member

and have a 100 per cent war-record to
its credit.
WAR SAVINGS
4 CHRISTMAS
STAMPS IDEAL
PRESENTS.
War Savings Stamps make. ideal
Christmas presents. There are sev
eral reasons why people should give
Thrift and War Savings Stamps as
presents at Christmas instead of the
usual Valueless cewg&ws and trinkets.
A War Sayings Stamp is .a, pfttriotle
gift. It is not to be . prized only; for
its value but for the patriotic spirit
in which it was bought and givm.
The giving of stamps does not require
the labor and material so creatlj
needed by the Government at this
time. Furthermore. rrvin& fitampt
saves the usual rush that'-makes
Christmas a burden instead of a Joy
ous occasion. This year stamps are
the most patriotic gift. Buy. ihem and
help put your State over the top in
the War Savings' Campaign.
Today North Carolina, lacks $11,
500,000 having her War Savings quota
subscribed. If every North Carolinian
who is able to do so would buy at
least one War Savings Stamp as a
Christmas present either for himself
or some other member of his fam
ily and would do this in addition to
.what, he has. already bought or pledged
to buy, the amount realised 'would be
sufficient to complete what the fitat
lacks in having its War Savings allot
ment. Therefore, it behooves very
patriotic citizen of North -Carolina tc
be patriotic and buy Waf Savlmgi
Stamps for Christmas presents.

The Traitor In The Ranks.
A spy is a contemptible person, but
traitor is a thousand times worse.
Every doctor, when he receives his
flegree, Doctor in Medicine, takes the
Hippokratic Oath. He solemnly swears
not to do certain harmful or deleteri
ous things. He swears that whatever
houses he may enter, he will go into
them for the benefit of the sick and
will abstain from every voluntary act
Df mischief or corruption.
Every good doctor lives up to that
oath. But there are rascals in all pro
fessions. Now and then a doctor for
gets his responsibility and indulges in
deliberate mischief and corruption
he acquiesces in the criminal desire of
lome family to conceal the existence
of contagious disease from the health
authorities. This is a vicious act of
corruption which ought to cancel the
doctor's license to practice in the
Btate.
Sometimes it is hard to say no.
the State that grants him Che right to
practice. The sooner he is relieved
of his license the better for the com
munitv which is at his mercy. A do
tor without honor is a menace to hi?
patients, from the very nature of fhe
relation he bears to them.
The State Board of Health means
to punish every doctor who is

guilty of this corrupt practice. Thank
goodness, very few physicians Indeel
are guilty. But the rascals do get
into the profession occasionally, and
the health authorities of North Caro
lina feel bound to protect the public
against the traitors within the ranks
of the healers.
People of ordinary intelligence will
readily understand that a physician
who .is corruptible in behalf of his
patient is not to be relied upon in
other matters. A good doctor will go
far to protect the legitimate interests
of his patients, but he will stop short
of a crime always. North Carolina
wants good doctors to take care of the
people. She will have none of the
crooked kind, if the State Board of
Health can help it.
Health authorities everywhere un
hesitatingly condemn the ancient su
perstition that any disease could pos
sibly be good for a child or an adult.
The iditdic idea that a child ought to
have such diseases as whooping-cough,
measles, etc., and be over with them,
belongs In the museum of antiques
along with the night air bogy and the
delusion that alcohol makes you
strong.
An excuse for treason sometimes of
fered in behalf of the guilty doctor is
that the attack is "only scarlatina" or
"scarlet rash" but the truth is that
these are but other names for scarlet
fever, all the same disease.
' 'HARD TO SAY, NO."
If It Is a Quarantinable Disease Don't
Ask Your Doctor to Call It Some
thing Else to Avoid Quarantine.
There are selfish people in every com
munity who care nothing for the wel
fare or safety of their neighbors and
stop at nothing to evade the law gov
erning the isolation of contagious dis
ease. Such people will appeal to the
doctor to make an exception In their
case, In order to avoid injury to thvir
business or something like that Tf
the doctor is square and honest he will
do his duty and refuse to be a party
to fraud. If he is crooked he may givo
in to. the pleadings of the family and
consent to the conspiracy against.pub
lic welfare! Such pjtyslciani erits
severe penalty. He 'is a traitor to

The rescued men were picked up by
the liner after having drifted help
lessly for 11 days, subsisting most of
that time on seaweed and 'rainwater
wruns from their clothing or caught
In their caps. They were in an ex
hausted condition when picked up, but
by careful nursing on board the liner
they had fairly recovered when they
reached here.
According to the crew the steamer
was stopped by shell fire, the crew or
dered Into two boats and the ship was
sunk with bombs.
Captain Egge of the Atigvald left
the shlp'with 12 men In his boat-and
It became separated from the other
lifeboat containing 14 of the crew. For
two days the latter boat drifted about
and was then upset In a storm. Three
of the men were swept away and the
others managed to right the-boat and
bale it out. They lost all -their food
and fresh water and even their oars
were-gone. ' v V
Drifting helplessly, the men began
to suffer for want of food and water.
Seaweed was eagerly snatched up and
chewed and every device they could
think of was resorted to to catch rain
water. There was a succession of rain
storms and the men were almost con
tinually drenched. Day after day'.. went
