SIGNIFICANCE OF A "SPECIAL DAY"
IT U Indeed a beneficent influence that lor a
season. however brief, deflects or withdraws
the mind from the mad rnah of commerce
and Industry and directs It Into the ways of
rleacmtness and peace. And it Is Indeed a
blessing >o have the turmoil,and harry of life
slowed down a bit annually for the sake of
humanities.
Our calendar year Is marked by days, weeks
and months. We live not by month* or weeks,
but by days It, Is therefore important that we
take account of the contribution each day makes
to our lives. We look upon "special days" as
more attractive, enlivening and conducive to
increasing our happiness and enriching our
domestic and social relations than other days
THAXKStJIVINU Is one of the "special days"
which, during recent years, comes to North
Carolinians freighted with the spirit of good
will. of cheerfulness, of happy greetings fra
grant with friendship that means service where
Service may be needed. If we would enter Into
and enjoy the real spirit of Thanksgiving we
must keep our minds and our hearts fixed upon
the Star ef Bethlehem's manger from which
?manated a spirit of meekness, love and help
fulness in surpassed In the history of mankind.
To rightly appreciate the spirit of Thanks
gBiri must have the spirit of the Christ
who crlled the little ones to Himself and,said:
"Puffer lit'tie children to come nnto Me and
IfOTbid them Dpt. for of such is the Kingdom of
Heaven " It is when we hare the sweetness of
love and the spirit of the Master In our livee
that we brighten and cheer the lives of those
around us. Kach of us have an Individual part
to perform in life's drama; each has a duty
dnasaa'- ut upon him. each has a responsibility
to tr.'i t Cur future success will depend on
iadirfd;-r>!iiing our allotted share of the service
? to be rendered in making the world a better
-place in which to live.

ihen that of children without homes. No loss
seems so great as that of parental love.

To the North Carolina Orphan Association. It

has made especial promises of protection to the

J the world with help for the destitute and honor

Those capable of estimating the value of the
lire of a child bereft of the blessings and com
forts of a home, should realise what it means
to enlist In tho movement to swell the treas
j urlcs of the orphan aomes In the State at
I Thanksgiving, remembering that the Master
! Himself gave expression to the Inspirational
! pronouncement, "It is more blessed to give than
to receive." To thoee who are looking tor some
outlet for the Joyful spirit of Thanksgiving we
commend, to their consideration, the appeal of
the North Carolina Orphan Association which
is, once again, asking every cltiien of the
"Good Old North State* to contribute the In
come of one day out of 365 to the orphanage
ot his or her choice, on or before Thursday,
November 28. the day set apart by the Presi
dent of the United States and the Governor
of North Carolina for the celebration of divine
goodness.
EVERYBODY, old and young, rich and poor,
learned and Illiterate, are asked to 'Join In this
holy movement and thus "visit the fatherless
In their affliction." Bespond in the right spirit
and realise a continual thanksgiving In your
soul which will enable you to scatter sunshine
along the pathway of others on the Journey
toward the "setting sun." Make the offering
on the basis of your earning capacity for a
single day?more If you will; lees If you can
do_no better. Make it through your church,
your lodge, or forward direct to the orphanage
io which yon are most interested.
The need for liberal Thanksgiving offerings,
has not been so apparent la a long time as It
Is this year. Let us rise to the dignity and
demand of the hour by each doing his level
best to bless the State and lift it to a higher
p.ane of beneficence and good wilL The
Thanksgiving season .is a most 'appropriate
period during which'our people may show
their appreciation" of the splendid service the
orphan homes are rendering In the care, pro
tection, training and education of orphaned
children who might Otherwise become a men
ace to society and a care upon the public.
Citizens of North Carolina, do your duty to
yourselves, to your community and to the State
at Thanksgiving this year and ivullte the run

hundreds of bright boys snd irlrls. hrrvfi -I

HEALTH SUGGESTIONS
DR. R. F. TARBOROUGH
County Physician
On Xov. 15tb I visited Epsom High
School and vaccinated sixty-six child?
dren against small pox.
Mr. Woodward, the wide awake and
progressive Supt. with several of his
high school girls aided me very ef
ficiently in dispatching the work.
Of the sixty-six children vaccinated,
not one made complaint, whined nor
cried while being vaccinated or while
getting ready for It All came up
smiling.
At one o'clock I was served a most
tastefnl and wholesome lunch in the
school lunch-room, where daily, Mrs.
Ayescuje prepares wholesome diet for
the school children. I was surprised
when she told me that the excellent
dish of vegetable soup with meat in
it a:ul bread was served for five cents.,

should be of interest at this season:
Nov. 20.?During the last ten days
tha-press-service of about fifteen state
departments of health have sent out
literature, some of which has reached
out desk, calling attention to the fact
that now the hunting season is open
nil hunters should beware of rabbit
fever. Our regular readers will re
' call that in the October Health Bul
letin we published a short article on
the subject. In that article we called
attention to the fact that some of the
United Public Health Service recent
-eports placed suspicion on quail as
well as rabbits.
This disease is a rather serious ocr
currence and for the most part Is
| by handling or dressing for the table
rabbits, and, as just said, possibly
quail, which are infected with the di

fected rabbit or bird may be easily
transmitted to a person who has an

abrasion or sore of any kind on the
hands. It can be easily prevented if
all persons who dress rabbits or quail
would use rubber gloves or refrain
from. su,fch duties if there is any sus
picion of sores or abrasions about the
hands and arms from which infect
tion could enter. Thorough cooking
of infected rabbits destroys the in
fective agent, and .there is no danger
for people who eat such food after
it is thoroughly cooked. The danger
comes through handling the Jncooked
carcasses.
