With South Carolina already over

Fundamentally, this export corpora
tion is based on the simple law of sup
ply and demand. Everywhere in the
South there is an over-bundance of
cotton, tobacco, peanuts, rice, etc.,
making for consequent low prices. The
Export Corporation aims to relieve the
strain on the domestic market by re
opening the old European trade chan

have depended upon foreign capital to

NOTES FROM THE STATE SCHOOL
: NURSE
Habit formation, good habits, should
be v established in infancy. Mothers j
then would not fall back orl the excuse, j
"Yes, I know that, but I just don't !
have time."
If mothers only knew that-it taks
less time to form good habits than it
does' to break up bad ones, and to
nurse the results of bad habits, they
would take time.
Begiuiing early in right habits of
food, exercise, fresh air and personal
cleanliness, these habits soon become
automatic with children and they do
not have to be constantly nagged and
reminded. .
THe use of the tooth brush would be
come as automatic as the washing oi
one's face, were dt begun at a very
early age. We are told that teeth de
cay for two reasons only, either be--cause
they are dirty or the body has
not been reinforced with bone-building
food; Thes teeth should be washed at
least twice daily.
Steep, the period for organic recon
struction, js another fundamental.
School children should sleep from eight
to ten hours in the twenty four, they
should retire early at some regualy
fixed hour, sleep each in a separate
bed and in loose night clothes and with
windows open, winter r.nd summer
alike.
Peridocities for bladder and bowel
evacuations should be fixed 'in early
life.; Constipation, "The curse of
modern life,"4s,due mainly to careless
ness; and is responsible for many ills.
Food habits should be established at
he birth of the child, beginning with
its milk and water diet in proper quan
tities and intervals and in addition,
after a few months, the fruit juices,
orange or tomatto juice strained and
given in certain quantities each twenty-four
hours. Poor food habits con
stitute a great factor in producing re
tarded and defective children. Under
weight should be regarded as a dan
ger! signal, as it comes either from
some physical cause or from poor food
habits as a rule. Ten per cent or "ev
en per cent underweight should cause
concjern on the part of the pareiit.
"That childr eh do"hoTlikeThis "oi that
s no excuse for improper diet. When
the child first begins solid food the
proper food materials should gradually
enlarge his dietary and he should not
have the choice of bad ones. Food
habits become automatic, personal
cleanliness becomes automatic, and so
on, if we teach these habits early in
life:
Personal cleanliness should be
stressed also. It gives self-respect,
encourages good morals and is condu
cive to good health. .
Insist on regular habits, especially
those of bathing, exercise, rest, food,
play. Make HEALTH a habit. "Hab
its must be controlled or they will con
trol." The future of the child depends
largely on correct habits. His real
character is based on good habits, es
tablished early in life. '
