JOIN THE RED CROSS.
So well known is the Red Cross, so
well understood has become the work
of this great organization for the re
lief of suffering since its marvelous
work during the war has challenged
the admiration of the world, that it
would seem to be entirely unnecessary
to make an appeal to men and women
to join. But there is ever present
with us the tendency to indifference,
to "let George do it," and let up now
that the war is over, that constont
reminders are necessary.
A herculean task lies immediately
before the American Red Cross, a task
even greater than it performed so ad
mirably while the war lasted. Then
its activities were confined to the
Entente countries; now the whole wide
world is its field. There are famine
conditions to relieve, millions of peo
ple are hungry and cold and sick who
will know no help except such as
reaches them through the Red Cross.
Common or garden variety of grati
tude for what the Red Cross has
meant to men in the service of their
country from homes in Robeson county
ought to make every citizen of the
county eager to join. It comes right
home to us. Many a mother in Robe
son county has reason to thank God
for what the Red Cross has done for
her boy. Read elsewhere in this pa
per what a soldier boy from Robeson
writes his mother about the Red Cross.
"I shall always be glad," he writes,
"that we gave to this cause as liber
ally as we did and I will give to it as
long as it needs help and want you to.
They are doing a great work over
here. They give the boys anything
they need. They have given me so
many things I cannot begin to tell
you."
Such is the testimony of one who
has received the benefits. Just the
simple story - of soldiers is all that is
needed to convince any one of the
great work the Red Cross is doing.
No one is compelled to join. "The
quality of mercy is not strained." But
you will be given an opportunity. It
only takes a dollar. You will not be
asked to join twice. Let's roll up a
membership including every citizen of
Robeson county by the night of the
23rd inst.
President Wilson has been given
such a welcome in France as has nev
er been given the head of any other
nation there. The French people hon
or him for what he represents as the
head of this great nation. It is a pity
that while he is acclaimed abroad and
honored for the high purposes which
impelled him to go to Europe, there is
petty criticism of his course at home.
In certain quarters desperate effort is
being made to make it appear that
President Wilson does not correctly
interpret the thought and purposes of
the American people. Mr. Wilson is
not disturbed by these small and jeal
ous faultfinders. He "knows, and
knows that he knows," and the hopes
of hitherto hopeless peoples all over
the world are centered in him. The
heathen may rage and imagine a vain
thing, but we shall sadly miss our
guess if the wisdom of the President's
course does not dawn on all the fear
ful ones bye and bye.
o
Mr. Cameron Morrison of Charlotte
disturbs the political waters with the
formal announcement that he will be
a candidate in the next Democratic
primary for Governor, to succeed Mr.
Bickett. He says he "will go intoi
every county in the State and present
direct to the people a proposed pro-!
gram for the continued progress of
the State." There will be no dearth
of candidates for the sovereigns to I
select from. It has long been regarded
as certain that Lieut. Gov. Max Gard
ner will be in the race. Messrs. R. N.j
Page and Rufe Doughton probably'
will be candidates, and Mr. A. M.
Scales of Greensboro is being urged by
his friends to offer. Other gentlemen
besides Mr. Morrison, who has un-
the "doggone determination of the
Americans to go ahead." That is what
broke the Hindenburg line: It couldn't
be done but the Americans did it.

At the cost of a small jar of or
dinary cold cream one can pi'epare a
full quarter pint of the most wonder
ful lemon skin softener and complex
ion beautifier, by squeezing the juice
of two fresh lemons into a bottle
containing three ounces of orchard
white. Care should be taken to strain
the juice through a fine cloth so no
lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is
used to bleach and remove such blem
ishes as sallowness, freckles and tan
and is the ideal skin softener, smooth
ener and beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it
daily into the face, neck, arms and
hands. It naturally should help to
soften, freshen, bleach and bring out
the roses and beauty of any skin. It
is wonderful to smoothen rough, red
hands.

The Improved Calomel Tablet
That is Entirely Purified of All
Nauseating and Dangerous
Qualities.
Physicians are warning the public
against trifling with colds, influenza
and grippe. They say that a brisk
calomel purgative, preferably Calo
tabs, the new and improved calomel
tablet, should be invariably taken at
bed time and repeated the second or
third night, if necessary. In the ear
liest stages, one Calotab is usually
sufficient unless the case is particu
larly severe.-
Physicians say that it is a waste of
time and is dangerous to experiment
with other laxatives, as calomel is
absolutely necessary sooner or later.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed time
with a swallow of water that's all.
No salts, no nausea nor the slightest
interference with diet, work or plea
sures. Next morning your cold has
vanished and your whole system is
purified and refreshed. Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages.
Price thirty-five cents. Recommended
and guaranteed by druggists every
where. Price refunded if you are not
delighted. adv.

WHY NOT AN ORDINANCE?
Would it not be wise for the town
fathers to pass an ordinance imposing
a suitable penalty for allowins chil
dren to go to school from homes where
there is a case of the "flu" or any
other communicable disease? That
would throw an effective safeguard
around the schools and protect the
children as no simple request will pro
tect them. The request has been made
repeatedly that children be kept away
from school when there is a case of
4'flu" in the family, but it is known
that that request has been disregard
ed. Some people are prone to S3t up
their own standards about such tilings.
They decide that there is no danger of
their child giving the disease to any
one else and, in defiance of the re
quest based upon the judgment of
the physirians, they send their child to
school.
If the request is wise, why would
not an ordinance making it compul
sory be wise ?
Every precaution is being taken by
Supt. Cale and the teachers at the
graded and high school. They are do
ing every thing they can do to protect
the children, but without the co-op-
