SMALL POX IN SOUTH CAROLINA Reports come of smallpox, in al most epidemic form, in Sumter, Greenville and other countis of South Carolina. There is only one expla nation. The law requires people to | be vaccinated has not been observed. Where people have been vaccinated there is no danger of smallpox. Where 'the law on the subject is not observed the danger is constant and grows greater every year. Most contagious diseases can be , prevented, and all of us know that •prevention is easier and less expen- sive than cure. If we would observe the laws —not only the laws of the State but the laws of common sense— we would have much less disease in the state as well as much less crime. The smallpox situation is proof of this, if proof is nedeed. A monkey never made a man but many a man has made a monkey of liimself. j All signs fail in dry weather, and they are not of much service in a wet spell ,either. ! Self help is the best help, provid 'ed you don't nelp yourself to for bidden things. Yes; people who go to the movies should sit still and not disturb those behind them. The man who is starting an eel ranch in Florida has a slick scheme for getting rich, hasn't he? No matter how high the temper ature climbs, don't get into a heat ed argument about the weather. American soldiers walked many thousands of killometers in France without learning just how long one Mr. Ford wants to buy some ships but the country is at sea as to what he proposes to do with them. Collier says many things are hard er to endure than starvation. That depends on whether you live to eat or eat to live. LOST—Large black bulldog, white spots on forehead and on ench foot.

By Dr. B. S. Herben. A Southern boy was left in charge of friends for a three weeks' rest in an Adirondack Camp. On the first even ing, the hostess took the little, chap upstairs to bed and, that he might not feel lonely, supervised the prepara tions. Suddenly in the midst of un dressing, the seven-year-old exclaimed, "Mistis, you do not mind if I am skin ay do you?" The puzzled hostess fum bled. "You can't help it, Jackums, and we shall soon make you fat." "I don't mean that: Do you mind if I'm ikinny? Do you mind if I don't have anything on?" But the thing we did mind was his "skinniness." He had had pneumonia and the flesh and strength were slow in coming back. We were anxious about the child. How alarming is such low resistance to all infections, espec ially to tuberculosis, which are all around us and —no matter with what care we attempt to guard our child ren—so menacing to them. The Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor and a prominent life insurance company have made a atudy of conditions among the child ren of New York City and it is esti mated that one child out of every three is undernourished. This situa tion is duplicated everywhere. These little, too-thin bodies are being con stantly bombarded by bacteria of all varieties and being menaced by dis eases which are serious. Tlte child who is of normal weight and who is healthy in other ways as well, has a chance to fight off these enemies. The youngster who is handicapped by undernourishment and all that it im plies is the one who generally fight# a losing battle. How many parents think of these things? How many parents could an swer, "Yes, I care," to that question: "Do you mind if I'm skinny?" How about the boys and girls under your care? Do you look at the matter at all? Do you ever think of the mean ing of the children's diseases? Do you know that measles and scarlet fever and colds are more severe and more dangerous to children who are undernourished than they are to the plump, rosy-cheeked and bright-eyed child? Do you realize that the founda tion of happiness and health in the adult years is being built in childhood —right NOW? Those who truly care will consult the physician, learn the underlying causes of the child's poor health, his malnutrition, and take the imperative steps necessary to correct the condi tion. Those who do not care will "do the best they can" without doing any thing. Are children looking at your with pleading eyes? I'm skinny!
