The Christian Endeavor Society met in its regular monthly business session Wed nesday, January 10th, with all the offi cers and quite a large number of the members present. The following persons were added to the Lookout Committee: Messrs. Rid dle, A. L. Hook, and Miss Jeannie T^ee Beale. We sincerely diope that these young people will do their best to bring every student into our society. Let us who are members of this Endeavor So ciety not rest until we get «very young person in our midst to .join us. and do something for their Master. If we would go to the Convention this spring with ours the banner society, we must be wide awake from now until the Convention meets. Sudie McCa';ley. Y. W. C. A. The spirit that was manifested as well as the interest that was taken in our association last Sunday was very encour aging for the beginning of a new year. A goodly number of girls was present, who expressed a desire to make this the best year’s work they have ever done in the association. Miss Iseley, being lead er, used for her subject: “The Life and Works of John the Baptist.” Miss Nel lie Fleming had prepared a very inter esting paper on his birth and early life, which she read. Miss Iseley also had a good paper on his later life and works. From these papers we learned many val uable lessons on such a character as John the Baptist, the forerunner of Christ, Dr. D. L. Moody has said that, “Jesus and John were like the sun and moon in comparison with the stars. All the prophets were like the stars in compari son of those two men.” The musial committee certainly de serves a word of praise for their earnest work in our association. They always try to have special music each Sunday, which tends to add much to the interest of our meetings. Miss Irma Redell sang . a very appropriate solo, which we all en joyed. Misses Farmer and Grace Rol lings gave a very impressive vocal duet, which did not fail to have its good ef fect on the meeting. We cordially invite every girl to come and take part in our meetigns each Sun day. Remember that we are striving to make this the best year’s work that we have e\er done in our association. We well know that we cannot do this by our feeble efforts alone, but we can do it with God s help and your co-operation. V iola E. i'ra;5ier. Y. M. C. A. JNOTES. On Saturday night, last, the members of the V. M. C. A. had the pleasure of coming together for the first time after tiie LnrisLmas holidays. ihe leader for the evening was Mr. E. T. Cotten. -tiis subject was •‘Aledita- lion,” ana as it was the beginning- oi a ■lew year he also touched on the suuject of new resolutions. Mr. Gotten pictured to [lie minds of Ills hearers a lesson that IS lery heipiul to each one of us in our uaily lives. iiie attenuance was rather small on ac count of the fact that some of the men nad not returned; but, nevertheless, the spiiit of the meeting was felt by the few that were present. Nearly all expressed themselves on the topic by bringing out uew thoughts that were very impressive upon their follew-menibers. Each person present set forth some res olutions which he expects to follow out this year. Among some of them that were made, one was that each member present was going to try to bring a new man with him every meeting. This, to my mind, is a very good resolution; if properly carried out, I do not see why we should not get every young man in Elon College interested in Y. M. C. A. work. We believe that it can be done and we have pledged oursehes to do it. There is no better place in Elon Col lege for a young man to learn to express l' his feelings than in the Y. M. C. A. hall, c M hen he gets there he feels that he is at liberty to say what he pleases and tliat it is appreciated by his hearers. Taere are brighter jjrospects of greater v\ork to be done this spiing than there have been before. And we feel that each member is goiug to accomplish his part of it. F. F. Myrick. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE* EDITOR? An exchange says: “How would you like to be the editor of the honje paper and sit at your desk six days out of the week, four weeks a month, and twelve months out of a year, and have such copy as the following to edit. Mrs. Jones, of Cactus Creek, let a can-opener slip last week and cut herself in the pantry. A lass of Piketown threw a stone and struck Mr. Pike in the alleyway, Tuesday. John Doe climbed on the roof of his house last week looking for a leak and fell, strik ing himself on the back porch.

The Essential Facts Worth Knowing— Natuie and Lxtent of the Disease. Consumption is the greatest enemy known to mankind. It kills in the Uni ted States annually over 150,000 people. Consumption is the cause of one death out of every tour deaths that occur between the ages of 20 and 50. That is, the reader lias about 25 per cent of the chances that he will die from consump tion, against him. It kills most of its victims in the prime of life— between the ages of 20 and 30. Nearly as many die of this same disease between 30 and 40. No age, however, is exempt, from the mere infant to tlie centenarian. The total loss to the citizens of the United States, in cold dollars and cents, has been estimated at $1,500,000,000 each year. The average annual loss to every citizen in this State is approximately $15.00. This does not, and can not, take into account the value of the an guish, agony and suffering caused. And _>et consumption is always preventable. It is also curable if taken early. Is this matter worth considering? Vvhat Ccnsumpticn Is. Consumption is a disease usualfy chronic, caused by germs too small to be seen. Scientists tell us it is a germ disease, usually caused by a growth in the lungs, or less commonly in other parts of the body, of a minute fungus, plant or germ, callcd the Tubercle bacillus. This plantlike .,erm kills the tissues around it and spreads through the whole lung, till finally it kills the person in whom it grows. It is now known that tiie jierm gets into the body of almost every one. However, they do not grow easily in the human body, and many of tliese germs are killed at once by the tissues. Others lie there inactive for a long time and do not develop into the real disease until by some chance the resistance of the body is lowered enough for them to begin to grow. Remember, a thoroughly healthy body is not a fa- \ora'le growing place for germs of con sumption. On the other hand, over work, damp, dark, dirty homes or work places, bad or scanty food, late hours, certain sicknesses, such as grippe, meas les, whooping-cough, pneumonia or ty phoid fever, and especially drinking and dissipation, weaken the body and give the germs a good opportunity to de velop. In bodies thus weakened con sumption can flourish and, if the.se bod ies are not strengthened in time by pro per living, proper food, proper care, fresh air and rest, the disease will advance, rs- ally slowly and gradually, so that it fakes from two to ten years to kill the [^.atient, while in the rarer galloping form it kills in from six weeks to eight weeks. Consumption is really a battle of life and death between the disease germs which have gotten into the body and the cells which make up the body. If these pells are well nourished and cared for, they will win ovt, and kill the germ; if mt, the germ will win out and produce the patient’s death. Source of Consumption. The germs of consumption can only come from some one that has consump tion. They are found in the spit, and the small droplets coughed up and sneezed WHEN IN GREENSBORO VISIT THE AMERICAN CAFE The Home of Good Thingg to Eat. “Home-Like” Cooking. J. N. ('oe. Manager. .150 S.
