THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 11, i 9 26 : OPEN FORUM : The Railroad Stop Law. Editor Courier: I thought I would ▼rite a short letter in regard to what 1 see happening almost every day. ©n July 1, 1923, there went into ef fect a law saying that all motor ve hicles should come to a standstill at all grade crossings. On July 23 I watched to see how the drivers obey ed the law. I counted 15 that crossed without stopping. When the 16th lame in sight, one man said, "That one will stop." I asked him why, he said, "Because he has an officer on kis track." Since that time I have Seen that same officer cross without Stopping. I have never seen any law so flag rantly ignored. Men of all vocations pass by, disregarding the mandate of the state. You will see them, as they ■ear the crossing, sign the man be hind them, as good as to say, "Look out, I am going to stop," but they don't. Some time ago I counted again and there were forty who crossed without Stopping. Not long ago I was with a preacher and we came to a cross ing, and he, like almost everyone, went across without stopping. I said, "Brother, why do you do that?" He seid, "Brother Hughey, we have so many laws that are unjust." But that is no reason for failing to keep them. We are supposed to keep them regardless of what we think of them. Not long ago I was talking to a man on this subject and he said there were so many laws that nobody knew them all and I told him that if he knew them all he would not be any ketter off if he treated them all like ke did this one. If I was not going to stop I would step on the gas and tet her go. I would not stop at all. I see preachers going to their thurches to preach and disregarding this law on the road. How can such a man expect his people to respect kim, much less influence them for good? I have a car that was bought Aug. 22, 1924, and if it has ever fail *d to stop at a grade crossing it was when some one else was driving it. gome one might say, you must think that keeping the law will save you. No, I don't think that. But I do think that being saved will make you try *.-E' The Aug. W. Smith Co. -Er SPARTANBURG, S. C.

In Romans we have this scripture, "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers, for there is no power but of God. Whosoever, therefore resisteth the power resisteth the ordinances of God and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation." Now, I am not writing this in a spirit of fault finding, but I thought possibly it would cause some one to think. J. M. HUGHEY. About your Healtit Things- You Should Know br John Joseph Galne*, M_ D CROUP." The word "croup" is ages old. It has no scientific meaning, but no mother is mistaken in what it im plies. Its presence is announced by a drowsy, feverish condition of the baby, and by a sharp, ringing, yet hoarse cough, unlike that of most other diseases. The symptoms are intensified as night approaches. At bedtime the little fellow is hard to arouse—again the hoarse, loud, brassy cough. The pulse is quick, the breathing rapid. Yes, it's croup. Other, and more serious diseases of the little throat, exhibit radically different symptoms; diphtheria has very slight if any cough. Scarlet fever and measles begin with slight, fre quent, rather loose cough, with no outcry during the effort. Pneumonia lays a heavy hand on the lung; the breathing painful, shallow, and the cough suppressed as far as possible, because very painful. Every mother should know these simple points in diagnosis. Croup should be "nipped in the bud" if possible. You can do much if your physician is not available. THE FOREST 3ITY COURIER He may be away on a long call and cannot come for several hours. Give baby a large dose of castor oil, after a brief, warm, sponge bath. Try to induce sweating as soon as you can. Give juice of a roasted onion—it is sedative to the inflamed air-passages ten drops every fifteen minutes. Rub the skin over the throat with a mild irritating ointment.

PATIENCE Sometimes I wish that I might do Just one grand deed and die, And by that one great deed reach up To meet God in the sky. _ • But such is not thy way, O God, Not such is thy degree; But deed by deed, and tear by tear, Our souls must climb to thee, As climbed the only son of God - From manger unto the cross, Who learned, through tears and bloody sweat, To count this world but loss; Who left the virgin mother's arms To seek those arms of shame, Outstretched upon the lonely hill To which the darkness came. As deed by deed, and tear by tear, climbed up to the height, Each deed a splendid deed, each tear A shining jewel bright. So grant us, Lord, the patient heart, To climb the upward way, Until we stand upon the height, And see the perfect day. —By G. A. Studdert-Kennedy, in "The Sorrows of God."
