THE COLD DEADLY.
A physician in a Southern city
very recently had much to say of the
common cold, and bis advice on this
subject is so fine, we think, that we
are repeating it.
‘‘This is the third case like this I've
had today,” the physician is quoted in
The Greenville News, as saying, as he
.surveyed the child with the*higli tem
perature and the rash which gives
the name to scarlet fever. "The cases
are all mild this year, so far. but no
One knows when they'll strike a fami
ly where they will l>e severe, and the
germs from the mild cases are just as
likely to produce a severe case in the
next victim. The mild cases, too. are
just as likely to have the had after
effects. Scarlet fever’ at best is an
ugly thing.
“If mothers would just keep home
from school the children who seem to
V>e coming down with colds, all these
, epidemics would Ik? avoided. Measles,
with its danger of leaving pneumonia
or tulierctilofds behind it. begins with
a little, sniffly cold. Scarlet fever be
gins with a cold, influenza, whooping
cough, bronchitis—half a dozen seri
ous and contagious ailments begin
this way.
“The most skilful physician cannot
diagnose these diseases at the start,
much less a mother with little experi
> enee. If mothers could just learn to
r isolate the child with the cold for
■ about three days, education would be,
less dangerous. As it is. I hate to set*
children started out to kindergarten or
the lower grades. They contract colds
easily, none of them know how to use
handkerchiefs properly ami the schools
are merely hotbeds for disease.”
Each one of us can do our part to
correct this situation, which exists in
every * community. It is foolish to
take chances* The common cold is
not treated with enough respect. It
is a dangerous disease and should be
treated as such. When we allow the
little folks to go to schocM when they
Pave a cold we are endangering their
lives and the lives of their associates,
all of whom are too small to think
for themselves.
STARTED SOMETHING.
Senator Borali ha* certainly started
something, if is resolution requesting
the President to call an economic auiL
disarmament conference in M asliing
ton received the disapproval oi Pres
ident Harding, but at the siiuie Urn-, it
brought to light the fact that Mr.
Harding already has under advise
' meat a idau to help Euroi*e.
-y£ r> >jr. ,Borah's resolution brought
out another interesting fact., which
shows tie inconsistency of Repub-
licaus. 'When President Wilson went
to Paris an# helped negotiate the
League of Nations pact and the Ver- j
sailles treaty, Senator Lodge argued ;
that he had no right to do so. He said !
that such power was vested only in
the Senate. And now' we find the
same Senator pleading with the Sen
ate to let President Harding continue
with negotiations he has underway to
bring about some sort ,of reparations
or armament pact with Europe. Mr.
Harding has not told the Senate or
anyone else what plans he is making.
He is not leaving the work to the
Senate, as Mr. Lodge suggested when
Mr. Wilson sought to bring about
peace.
It mak<¥* a lot of difference whose
bull is J»eing gored.
A SPLENDID RECORD.
The campaign in Cabarrus County
this year for the sales of Christmas
Seals was a great success. The com
mittee in charge of the sale of the
seals reports that $1,200 worth were
sold in the county, this total being
much larger than for any other other
year.
We should all take a just pride in
this record. It is not the largest in
the_ State, to be sure, but we believe
it will compare favorably with any
Other when population is considered,
and the increase in the total number
of- seals sold probably will make a
record for' this county. (
To Mrs. Ernest Hicks, chairmmi of
the sales cdtamittee, most credit is
due, but others deserving special men
tion are those w’ho'canvassed. the city
upd county. To Miss Elizabeth Col
trane, who sold the greatest number
of seals bonds, also is due much cred
it. " , ■’ ;
Tin* sale of'sl,2oo worth of seals in
Cabarrus County means that the Tu
berculous Society of the county has
SIKXJ with which to help needy cases
during'the next year. This sum is the
largest the Society lias ever had, and
it will mean much to deserving peo
ple* of. the county w r ho need treatment
amL who cannot afford to pay for it
themselves. The Society is familiar
with the needsj of the. eouiity, and wo
are sure the _ money will be spent
where it can do the greatest good.
Everyone lias a right to feel proud
of this record, and we congratulate
everyone w made the liuev total
possible.
\ REAL PROSPERITY.
A bank asks and answers these per
tinent questions/.
Why keep au intelligent record of
expenditures?
3. To shew .not only bow much
money you have spent, but what you
have received for your money.
2. To show leaks and unwise ex
penditures.
3. To enable you to keep your ex
penditures within the limits set in
your budget. \
4. To have a basis for making any
adjustments necessitated by increase
in prices or other unlooked-for ex
penses.
5. To use in, making your budget
for next year. *
Why make a budget?
3. To have a plan for saviug,
si>ending and giving.
2. To keep before you the standard
you have set so you will not be un
wisely influenced by your neighbors,
bargain counters or window displays.
3. To provide accumulated funds
for large expenses.
4. To know What you can afford for
each class df excuses so that you can
enjoy spending up to the you
have set.
5. To insure getting the most out
of your income.
This* reasoning does not hint that
window displays are no good, nor that
your neighbors will always try to sell
you something that is not worth
while. It means that the fellow who
knows what he has and keeps w'itbin
his allowance - will have enough money
next year to buy tlie~things he sees in
the window, without the guilty
knowledge that he is spending reck
lessly* The man who keeps the bud
-1 get and knows that he is not going in
too deep is the man who knows real
prosperity. "
IMPROVE WHAT WE HAVE FIRST.
V
A member of Assembly
who lives in Eastern North Carolina
declares tiiat he favors the erection of:
another State home for boys, te be;
erected somewhere east of Raleigh.
"We want to see the unfortunate boys
get every possible chance, but we
think it would be unwise for the |
State to erect another training school i
for boys when it does not give its pres
ent school, The Stonewall Jackson
Training School, all the help it de
serves. The appropriation given the
School each year would keep it in op
eration but it Would not iNlow for any
increases, and The number of stu
dents Jfc increasing monthly. The
gentleman from eastern Carolina says
- the counties there need a home for the
boys. All right. Send them to the
school here. It would be cheaper and
just as satisfactory for the State to
enlarge the Jackson Training School
to provide* room for These boys as it
would for another* school to be erect
ed. The present school could uot ac
commodate half of the present stu
dents if various counties m the State,
had not erected cottages, thus assur
ing room for 30 hoys at all times.. The
( counties in eastern North Carolina
i will find the cottage plan the most
.practical ope, we think, certainly with
the State making ho larger appropria
tion than is made now. N
We say pgain, give the boys every
thing possible, but it a manner
to bring about the best and biggest
results. And we also repeat that
North Carolina needs no home for the
boys in the east when it cannot prop
erly care for the home already estab
lished in the w T est. *lf there is -any
more money to be spent, we say spend
it on the Jackson Training School aud
make il a real state institution.
CITY NEEDS. •
Speaking before the Concord Ro
tary Club this week Mr. M. H. Cald
well, City Attorney, stated that an in
cinerator and an electric street sweep
er were two things that Concord needs
very badly and we would like to add a
word of approval to Mr. Caldwell's
suggestion.
The street sweeper would cost no
more to operate than the present mule
driven affair, and it would really
clean the entire city, or at least the
greater part of it. The present clean
er does the best it can, the trouble is
it is too slow for present needs. There
are about 12 miles of paved streets in
Concord now. They should In? taken
care of. and keeping them clean is es
sential if we are to get the life from
them they are capable of liviug. The
city has under construction or con
tract about four miles more .of paved
streets. That will mean a total paved
mileage of 36 miles, and if anything
we should have two electric Sweepers.
One sweeper is, nbedM in the business
section and tht* other should be used
for the residential sections.
And the incinerator is badly needed
also. Under the present system here
the trash from the business houses and
some homes, is carted off.and dumped
on some one's land. It has always
been a mystery to us how the city
could find somewhere to put this trash.
It fills holes, to be sure, but it also
breeds mosquitoes and other insects,
and the dumping ground is always a
vile place. The trash should be burn
ed. It would be no more trouble to
haul it to an incinerator than to a
dumping ground. The hauling ex
pense in factL would Ik* cheaper, for
the iucineixttar need' not lx* placed on
the outskirts of the city.
It will not. be long until the Wom
bie administration concludes its term
of office, and we hope it will see fit to
purchase the sweeper and incinerator
before its term expires.
Henry Ford announces the purchase
of. some coal lands, mining plant and
equipment in Kentucky, at a cost of
$10.000,(KX). His own railroad will car
ry this fuel to his factory doors in
Detroit, where, with steel smelted in
liis own furnaces and lumber cut from
his own lands in Michigan, it will play
a lug lutrt in keeping down production
costs on Ford cars and tractors. Mr.
Ford muy not be a great politician, or
a great historian or statesman, but he
knows how to cope with business prob
lems. /
