SPRING TONIGS Mors Molly-Coddles Die, ia Winter Than in Summer' 4 "Come on out doors you may like it" is the adyjegf the State Board of Health in a recent bulletin. '.'More people die in doors than out Com6 on out, get some good fresh .oxygen, and sunlight and live." To prove its claims the Board points out that tuberculosis in all ita forms kills between 49 end 50 percent more people in North Carolina during the shut in months of January, February and March than the open air outdoor monthb of July, August and September. But "the old T. B. is only one of the dis eases that gets the shut-ins, the stowaways and the molly-coddles. "But," continues the Board, the fear of catching something is only a small consideration. People who work and live out doors are generally more health ful, live longer and get more and better work done than the molly coodles. For instance, records of tuberculosis children in open air schools it is ciartttod, show more rapid progress .than the more normal children in badly venti lated schools. Colleges usually have two sets of'athletic records, one for indoor performances and one for outdoor performances. As a general rule the outdoor records are far better than the corresponding indoor records. "The old bogey about 'night air' and 'damp air' being un healthful is fast Using cast with intelligent people. Night air is really purer than day air and it does not carry malaria save as it carries mosquitoes. The danger from damp air is also much over worked. The damages wrought by excessively dry air in our living rooms, homes and stores is doubtless far greater than that from damp air. The essential thing is to see that we get plenty of the fresh outdoor air, twenty four hour's worth every day if possible. Its he best spring tonic yet discovered. Are you getting yours?" Drink Water Aplenty. When the thermometer Is slowly climbing upward, the only way we cao keep our own temperature from doing likewise Is to drink ooplouxly of pure water. There Is nothing so refreshing or cooling as pure water chilled to a pplatnMe temperature. Children espe cially should be encouraged to drink freely of water. Even bablea should have their regular bottle of pure water. Cotton Today 30 5-8 Mr. House Eatcrtaias Class Mr. J. W.

WAR CAMP COM- MUNITY SERVICE! Instituted by the National Council of Defense and backed by the U. S. War and Navy Departments, patriotic men and women of the nation are uniting in a campaign to raise funds for War Camp Community Service. The purpose of the War Camp Community Service Fund is the suppression of vice, the control of alcoholics, the creating of a homelike environment for our soldiers and sailors, and the se curing of a square deal for our fighting men. To show the evils the War Camp Community Service Fund is being raised to avert it isonly necessary to state that in Camp 9 in England, populated by Can adian soldiers, there are to-day 4,000 soldiers who are dying, rotting, of incurable venereal diseases. "These men are now under guard, behind barbed wires. They went forth to fight Their mothers sent them gladly, believing their sons were to face a foe like men and serve their flag like true soldiers", "These thousands of fine young Canadians never have seen the battle line, and they never will be permitted to serve as soldiers. They have been de stroyed by unbridled prostitution and booze at work around mili tary camps. They will never get home". The stitch in time is being taken in America by those who are waging the War Camp Com munity Service Fund. In this county, Mr. Jno. L. Patterson, of Roanoke Rapids, is the direct ing chairman of the campaign. The. quota asked of Halifax county is $100.00, and all patriot ic citizens of this county who wish to aid in this most necessary moral and social welfare work for the protection of our boys are asked to send their contribu tions to Mr. Patterson or hand them in at the office of the HER ALD which will see that they reach him promptly.
