January 1, 1923. ; 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. / armadillo”killed IN CATAWBA COUNTY Farmers In North Section Feel They Have Now Solved “Chicken Thief" Mystery. \ Hickory, Jan. 3—Farmers north and west of the city who have chased in tiie strange animal that had been making away with their chickens 1 bought they juid tin* an swer today when the carcass of an armadillo, as completely protected with a bard bony armor as a porcupine, is equipped 'with quills, was displayed in a local drug store. The mammal was killed by Eugent (’oilins about three miles west of town yesterday and has been the center of attraction. Per sons who have seen the Texas variety say this was larger than those along: the border. The armadillo was able to curl itself into a Dull so that noth ing but the armour .would be exposed.
