Education Is the Best feapon Well Enforced Laws - Make tbe Best Measures of Defence. Cor.sumption is a preventable disease. Yet we continue to have more deaths from consumption than any other disease.' , Why? Largely because some of our con sumptives continue to spit. cough and sneeze in such a manner that their friends and associats are infected. These, then arc the people that cause us so much trouble, that increase our death rate and decrease our population, tnat increase our poverty and de, crease oar wealth, that increase our misery and decrease our hap piness. But why do they do it? First, because they do not know any better, and second, because they are willfully or criminally care less. What is the remedy? For the first class the remedy is edu cation education along the lina of sanitation and hygiene. Such education in regard to the very fundamentals, of how to eat, sleep, bathe, breath and live, works wonders with this class. For this class the remedy is com paratively simple. The best place for such an education is.of course, in the schools. There, it reach es the greatest number of people. There, it is easily taught and well remembered. There, it reaches the coming generation. Tremendous results can be ac complished with the masses af ter the school periods. For them there should be lectures given by the county superintendents of healtb, city health officers, phy is- cians, ministers, and well inform ed members of Anti-Tuberculosis and health leauges. For this purpose the State Board of Health as well as many city . boards of health, distribute literature on consumption and other health subjects. Countless means of public education may be used, as for instance lantern slides show ing pictures and health sentences, signs in street cars and bill boards notices from the press and pul pit, tuberculosis exhibits, etc. After the public conscience is somewhat awakened to its sense of duty we should. have free dis pensaries and visiting-nurses to cary the gospel of health to all classes. , For the willfully or criminally careless class it is necessary to enact and rigidly enforce anti spitting ordinances. Ordinances requring the reporting of cases of consumption to the health de partment should also be enforced. Literature and oral instruction may then be furnished and disin fection cf houses may be accom plished after each removal of the immVtes. Consumption,like yellow fever, will soon be a disease of the past, when the masses ' are properly educated to their sense of respon sibility and the criminally care less are made law-abiding. Teachers' Meeting to Be Held at KelforiL The teachers of the Kelford Aulsnder disvision of Bertie county will hold their meeting Saturday, February 3rd. Because of the inclemency , of tba weath er: no ; meeting1 was'. htH last month. The same pro -raw the first two chapters of "The Teach er and the School', as outlined for. the last Meeting--will' be used. Our Supt Mr. Askew, is very anxious that all i the teach ers attend these meetings,' Let every one come and help, ty.roake them count for something; . W. T. BBOIHEBS, Sec ,. v ' ::Wte : . ;; ,., Tile Drain Your Land. Mr. Editor: Though the farm ers in Rich Square and commun ity don't wrice much about tiling some of them seem to be very much interested in it. One man so we heard, is bo intent over getting his farm drained that he has Iain an iron pipe through it. The result is oi ccuree, that his crops drown Just as bad as be fore. Now I don't claim to be an ex pert tiler, neither do I want to make it appear that 1 know more about it than some other man of this community, for I don't claim that at all. but I do know that tiling pays. We all know that there ia some bottom land in this vicinity which in its presant condition is almost worthless, at the same time if it were proper ly tiled it would be worth as much or more than the adjoining elevated land which is vaiued at fifty to a hundred dollars per acre. I have helped tile just such plac es as that and have seen the re sults of it too. Would.it not pay to spend twenty cr twentv-five dollars per acre on ibis land tp make it comparatively invalua ble? Not being a good writer I will not take up much space in your valuable paper this time. Hop ing this will start the "ball to rolling" which if taken hold of by those interested, will, I believe, mean more to the farmers of our country than many of the other thingscombined, which we go crazy about. Let us hear from others on this subject. Much success to the Roanokb Chowan Times and its readers. J. M. Bowers, Rich Square, N. C. Kelford News. Miss Lillian Pope, teacher of the intermediate department of the Kelford Graded School, had to leave her post of duty Thurs day last on account of sickness. Her place is being filled tempor arily by Miss Nolie Stephenson. Master Joseph Parker, son of Geo. T. Parker, who has been too ill to attend school for two weeks is able to be about again, and has re-entered school. Mr. Geo. T. Browne shipped two car loads of very fine stock to Norfolk last week. A very interesting debate took place Monday between four pu pils of the .high school depart ment. The affirmative of the question, Resolved, That term examinations Bhould be abolish ed, was ably presented bv Misses Sally Norfleet and Gladys Lough, while the negative was still more ably presented by Misses Louise Norfleet and Irene Cobb, or at least the judges' thought so in their unanimous decision in their favor. All of the. papers were very credibly gotten up, showing much thought and originality on the part of the contestants. ' We were very much delighted to have Mr. Geo. T. Parker, the efficient secretary of bur school board, with us Monday morning at chapel. His very presence was an inspiration ; to us. We trust that this is only the begin ning of tne many visits that will be paid us during the remainder of the term. ; ' : A woman never thinks she is havii fc 4 good time unless she can cry about it Ex. ; "What do you do for a living Mose?' . ........... ri's de manager ob a laundry.

Thomas A.Edison, in his tour aboard, states that it is the ubi q'lious cigarette smoking which is causing degeneracy and deter ioration of the French people, rather than absinth and other forms of vice and debauchery. We do not wish to convey the impression that Edison is an au thority on social and biological matters, king and conqueror though he may be ot the world of electricity. You will perhaps recall that a few months ago he asseryerated that four hours of Bleep was enousrh for any indi vidual, and more than one sixth of the time spent in sleep meant not only loss of time but mental and nhysical depletion as well. We shall not quarrel with the wizzard of electricity over his theory of sleeplessness tending to greater longevity and useful ness Withrejrard to cigarette smoking we believe that his as sertions are on the whole true. The cigarette invites the whole category of vices and even in its effects alone leaves a mental de terioration that is beyond recall and beyond rejuvenation. Its most blighting effects are said to be due to the brain poison known as acrotein which comes more from the combustion of the wrapper than from the tobacco. A cigaratte is unsatisfying if not inhaled in order to obtain its blunting, anesthetic effect upon the central nervous system. The ordinary smoking of a pipe or a cigar effects only the nerveend ings. It obtunds the nervs and may prove soothing and satisfy ing. Cigarette smoke strikes in more profoundly and carries 'the deadly acrotein. The "pill" should be abolished by law. The Medical Summary. Corn Growers' Meetings. The Farmers' Cooperative Demonstration Work is arrang ing to hold some forty meetings for farmers who re in the habit of buying corn for home con sumption. It has been proven in this work ior four years in the State that the average yield of corn can be easily doubled and that it can be grown under ordinary conditions at about 25 cents ber bushel, where the best methods are followed. It is detrimental for a farmer to buv high-priced corn. No matter how high the price of cotton, tobacco or peanuts may go, every farmer should grow all the corn he needs. Corn should be our chief crop on many farms. It is capable of producing more grain per acre than any other cereal. Plenty of corn means a more abundant supply of pork, a thing which farmers in this county buy large quantities of. - At these meetings there will be discussed the best methods' of doubling the yield of corn. Im proved seed help in this matter, so every farmer is asked to bring one or two dosen ears of his best corn for study. Corn breeding and how to produce good seed corn will bes part of the pro gram. V1"' The meeting in this county will be held at Margarettsville on February, the 2nd, beginning at half past ten o'clock and continu ing as long as necessary, y Let every corn-buying farmer attend the meeting. Further meetings will occur at other places In the county. ' - C, R. Hudson,? Stats Agent F. C.D. Work, Woodland Hem. Mr. C. J. Vaughan made a business trio to Norfolk, Monday. Mr. W. T.
