Soldiers And Sailors Urged To Keep Insurance The Sun has received the follow ing letter from the Treasury Depart ment at Washington which should be read and carefully headed. To the soldiers and sailors of America : Approximately four million offi cers and men of the army and navy are now insured with the United States Government for a grand to tal of almost thirty-seven billion dol lars. You owe it to yourself and to your family to hold on to Uncle Sam's in surance. It is the strongest, safest, and cheapest life insurance ever written. For your protection Uncle Sam has established the greatest life in surance company in the world a company as mighty, as generous, and as democratic as the United States Government itself. Just as Uncle Sam protected you and your loved ones during the war, so he stands ready to continue this protection through the days of i-eadjustment and peace. The privilege of continuing your government insurance is a valuable right given to you as part of the compensation for your heroic till V triumphant services. If you permit the insurance to lapse, you lose that right, and you will never be able to regain it. But if you keep up your present insurance by the regular payment of premiums you will be able to change it into a standard government policy without medical examination. Meantime you can keep up your present insurance at substantially the same low rate. The government will write ordinary life insurance, twenty-payment life, en dowment maturing at age 62, au3 other usual forms of insurance. This will be government insurance at government rates. The United States Government through the Bureau of War Risk In surance of the Treasury Department will safeguard you and your loved ones with the spirit and purpose of a republic grateful to its gallant de fenders. To avail yourself of this protection, you must keep up your present insurance. Carry back with you to civil life, as an aid and an as set, the continued insurance protec tion of the United States Government. Hold on to Uncle Sam's insurance PARENTS RESPONSIBLE Authorities Are Helpless Without Their Aid Many people do not understand that they, themselves, are respon sible for the control of whooping cough, measles, diptheria, scarlet fever ando ther diseases among their children. They expect the quarantine authorities to stop the spread of contagions, when, without the hearty co-operation of the par ents, the authorities are as helpless as the children who get the disease. Before any appreciable amount of good can result from the efforts to control diseases among children, par ents must realize their responsibil ity and follow the advice of the quarantine officer. It is only through the co-operation of the people with the quarantine officer that diseases may be controlled and the lives of many children spared. This respon sibility rests on every person to whose care God has intrusted a child. Any mother in North Carolina would sacrifice her life rather than see her child die or even suffer by the cruel act of a murderer. Now, it makes no material difference whether a child suffers and dies by brutal punishment or by disease. If it be true that suffering is suffering and death is death, then parents are not consistent when they would sac rifice their lives to protect a child from a murderer and, at the ame time, make no attempt to protect it from diseases which kill a thousand times more children. Parents should consider the results of diseases more seriously and make greater at tempts to protect their children. Children should be taugh not to use a towel, a drinking cup, knife. fork, or any eating utensil used by another until it has been boiled; not to eat from the same piece of bread with another; to wash their hands before meals; and 'to sneeze and cough with a handkerchief over the mouth and nose. Disease germs live in the mouths of well people as well as in the mouths of the sick, and these simple precautions may pre vent their spread from one person to another. Every parent should do his duty in trying to protect children from dis eases by keeping all sick children at home, away from well children, and notifying the quarantine officer of every- case. The quarantine officer will advise as to the measures nec essary to prevent the spread of the disease. The reports of all cases are required by law. J. C. TWITTY, County Quarantine Officer. 1517 OITM A A WONDERFUL rEiun MEDICINE Rundown and Unable to Work ''I am plea sort t o recommend Pel tin a as It was beneficial in reMtoriikg; my !iaHli when 1 W R9 run dov.u from o"rvork. and nervous worry anil was unable to take up my regular work.
