WHAT RED CROSS SEAL HAVE
DONE.
Helped Pay The Salary of Twenty-two
Visiting Norses.
"The most important thing that
Red Cross seals have done in the past
year," said Dr. L. P. McBrayer, Exe
cutive Secretary of the State Red
Cross Seal Commission, "is to pay In
part or in full the salary of twenty
two whole-,ttme visiting nurses. It is
impossible," said he, "to calculate the
amount of good done by these nurses
in alleviating the suffering of
those who have been unable to' em
ploy a nurse and to provide for them
selves the ordinary necessities of life.
This nursing, however, has not been
confined to those suffering with
tuberculosis altogether, bat whenever
the suffering was found uncared tor,
there angel of mercy with her tender,
helpful ministrations. Like the lewly
Nazarene, they te&oh as they co
teach people how to keep from getting
sick, how to keep from spreading dis
ease to others In their family and else
where. In this way every person, in
North Carolina becomes debtor to
these viaiting nurses.
"The Red Cross seals have seat pa
tients to the State Sanltorlum, where
they were restored to health and re
turned home to care for themselves
and their families, becoming thus an
economic asBet to the 8tatc instead of
a total loss with added expense. The
Red Cross seals have also been the
means of carrying lectures and exhi
bits to people' who would not other
wise have had the privilege, and of
carrying food to tubercular patients
w^jo have no money to spend for
food.
"There are only a few examples"
continued Dr. L. B. McBrayer, "of
what Red Cross seals have done lr>
our State. We feel _that they are
going to do far more along this line
of work next year. They willjjoon
be put on sale and should be offered
for sate at every cross roads and vil
lage, ?t every postofllce and every
school In the State."
Dr. L. B. McBrayer whose address
is Sanitorlum, N. C.. will ,be glad to
furnish every interested person with
ail the seals fhey can either sell or
use.

HOW TO AVOID PNEUMONIA.
Principle* ol Right Living Highly
Ker unintended.
"I to an old man and much afraid of
pneumonia. Bow can I avoid the dis
ease this wjnterT^^_-^ ^ 'jfcl
ease and Is usually brought on by the
lodgment of the pneumoc^i* germ in
the membranous tissue* of the throat
or -lungs If a person Is Well Jii.l
string these germs are not liVely tc
hart him seriously. A slight cold mey
be the result. But If he Is. run down,
dissipated, or if he in any way has a
weefc constitution, his chances are not
so Night.
I?*l8 not difficult to guard against
pnMtnonia If one will avoid unreas
onable exposure and at the same timo
will practice the rules of personal hy
giene or right living.
Working too hard or excessive with
extreme exposure Is a common factor
in preparing the way tor pneumonia.
Overeating, particularly it there is
an excess of meat in the diet, is an
other thing which often injuries the
body and lowers lu vital resistance
to disease.
Acohol, in whiskey, patient medi
cine or otherwise, is one of the most
powerful allies of the pneumonia
germ and even moderate drinkers
show a much higher death rate from
tills disease than, abstainers do.
But bad air is, of ali bad influences,
perhaps the most important in its ef
fects on colds and pneumonia. People
who live much in the open air, who
never close the windows of their
sleeping room in winter, and who
bathe daily, almost never catch colds,
or if they rin, the colds are light ones
an4 do not run into pneumonia.

Concerning State Politics.
Dear Mr. Editor :
Raleigh, N. C., Nor. 1. ? State
politics is taking on new activity
at this time and many things are
brewing deep down in the Pot that will
soon boll to the surfr.ce. Much
speculation is being Indulged In on
account of the meeting in Ralelgti last
week of the men who do things politi
cally speaking in the State.
Democrats generally do not under
stand how the Senior Senator, the
State chairman and th? two collectors
happened to be In the capital city at
the same time unless there was a pre
vious agreement of some sort, unless
the meeting was prearranged, happen
ing as it did, was certainly a strange
coincident. What dees it portenl if
not apian to put in the field a full
Simmons ticket next year. A large
number of the Senior Senators friends
have been advocating such a policy for
some time. It Is extremely doubt
ful that the Senator would lend his
influence to any such plan. One can
never tell however what a politician
will do. Some of the most astute ones
use the poorest judgment at times.
The recent spurt In the activities
of the friends of Lieutenant Governor
Daughtrldge la causing much comment
in the State, owing to the universal
opinion among leading Democrats
that Mr. Hlcfcett had the Gubernatorial
nomination cinched. Can It be that
the political leg pullers are making
a raid on Governor Daughtrldge'g
strong box! Those who are In a posi
tion to know can see no other reason
for Mr. Daughtrldge's tenacity In hold
ing on to a hopeless ambition on' s
he Is being badly advised by somj of
| his political friends. ?
In a recent trip through the eas
tern part of the 8tate the writer did
not find a man outside of a tew
politicians who was supporting Mr.
Daughtrldge. In ever ytown visited
there were scores of enthusiastic sup
porters of General Btckett. He la
(rowing stronger every day and be
tore the date of the nominating ^con
i ventlon rolls around, many people
I believe all opposition will have van
i ished. His hold on the popular es
teem of North CarolinaB has but
one parelell and that was the late
lamented Ayeock
Calvert, Joties. Self, Carter and
Everett ai# all working hard to corral
enough jrotes to give them the nomina
tion for the Attorney Generalship but
the interest in this contest is not so
keen as It was some time ago. Ever
ett put one over on his competitors a?
Chief Marshal of the State FaiiC He
made a howling success of the Pair
socially and he sent home several
thousand enthusiastic Everett boos
ters. both men and women, to all
parts of North Caroling. As a consf7"
quence there is more Everett talk
than there is of all other candidates
combine^ It was conceded by
everybody that Everett was the best
Marshal the State Pair ever had. If
-Everett can hold his present lead
and keeps gaining he is going to be
the winner in this contest
Chatham for congress is going to
be the rallying cry of the Fifth dte
trict next year from all indications
at present. His wishes in the matter
will receive scant -consideration un
less they coincide with those of tlie
voter?. General Royster wants to bo
a candidate but the writer understand*
he will not oppose Chatham, should
he allow his name to be used.
Two of the State officials now have
opposition, Lacy and Grimes and there
is some talk of others coming out
in the near future. In spite of all the
efforts of certain influential men it
is beginning to look like all the pre3
ent State officials will have to contend
with opposition of some sort.
Of course Woodrow Wilson is going
to be renominated and elected again,
if he wants the job. No amount of
Republican lying can explain a way
twelve cent cotton in the face of the
world's greatest war. Like high
western wheat this is a concrete fact
that is staring them in the face and
facts always confounds your Republi
can calamity howler. The next na
tional campaign will be one of reason
end not of histeria.
Very truly yours,
JAMES H. HOLLOW AY. -
