'VUL SAYINGS STAMPS mm ar Tin VHITED STATES GOVKBHMENT . MJllOO PRAISES THE PRESS . Mora today than at any time in the history of America, the nation needs the assistance of its newspa pen. It needs their active co-operation in ery many ways and it parti cularly needs the support of the country daily and weekly newspa-pert. No one can, if he would, question the splendid loyalty of the editors of the country and the effective way in which they have carried the mes sage of the Government's needs into every home. I do not have to urge upon them the necessity of the sup port which they are now giving: and have at all times given so unspar ingly. But you ask that I name some specific way in which the edi tors of country papers can assist in th; great problem of financing the war. To my mind one of the greatest possible services editors can render is a strong editoral support of the Government's efforts to encourage thrift and economy, the habit of saving, avoiding waste, and confin ing expenditures to things needed and necessary; and then the invest ment of the money saved in War Savings Stamps and Liberty t onds leriding it to the Government. The great financial operations of the Government cannot be carried forward successfully unless the peo' Die of the United States economize in every possible direction. By sav in money they give up some of their needless pleasures; they reduce their demand upon the general sup ply of food, clothing, and other materials in the country, releasing thereby that much more for the use of our own army and the armies and civilian populations of the na tions which are fighting the com' mun danger with us. They are at the same time increasing their own material property by their savings, arid they are directly helping their Government by lending it the money with which it can buy the necessary supplies and command the necessary ' services to make our fighting forces stronger and more effective in the field; and this means an earlier vic tory for American arms. . The great difficulty is to impress this Jesson of economy upon the American people. It requires wide spread propaganda and constant ef fort. In this great campaign the country newspaper's which reach so many millions of our citizens in cities, towns, hamlets, and on the farms, can perform a, great service of patriotism. The country editor is in intimate and friendly touch with his readers. It is to him. they look, in large measure, for advice and leadership. He reaches them every day or every week, and Can effectively deliver the message of the Government. The country editor can show the farmers, the laboring man, and every citizen his paper reaches why be should buy War Savings .Stamps and Liberty Bonds; why this is his war and the war of his neighbors; why the successful conduct and con elusion of the war means ' his con tinued prosperity and happiness,' in ' fact his very ; existence. ! He' can , show him it is his part, not "only - to increase the food supply, but to as sist in financing the wor from the Increased price he is receiving from the sale of his products. These things going; to the rural communities from the editor of the home paper carry with them the weight of a personal appeal. They arouse the spirit of patriotism and eacrir.ee and strengthen the arm of America. I am Bure that the Treas ury will have the continued effec tive sr-port of the country news r- 3 'ithis great campaign for V .': t J economy of such funda .r 1 i vrortance to the -cause of 1" i r .!-a ia'tLis crLIa. 7.

Jordan, Health Officer. Nash County, N. C. -Dear Sir: ' I am reliably informed' that there is one case of whooping cough in the home of '. , and two cases at The,. child is going to school and the... case is allowed, in his store daily These people have bad no doctor to see these cases and no report has. been made to the Health Officer, I have been informed that Mr, ..is boasting of the privi lege he is taking and not being pro hibited from sending his child to school. I will thank you to give this matter your immediate alien- tion. I am yours truly, No name sorted. This letter presents two diseases of society that deserve a more nauseating dose than I care to ad minister, out i win say that a man that will violate the law of his State looking to the control of preventa ble disease?, thereby endangering the lives of other people's children, is a greater menace to the com munity than the man who steals chickens, and the man who writes an anonymous letter to an officer of the law is a coward and a slacker. This office wiil welcome informa tion, and will protect the names of informers to the utmost, but its policy will be to ignore letters giv mg information without the name of the informer. The names of the parties said to be violating the law in regaid to wooping cough for obvious reasons are omitted in printing the letter. The State law requires, that householder?, who have contagious diseases in their homes and do not call a physician, shall report the same to the County Quarantine Of' ficer; and the only reason for show ing leniency in the enforcement of this new law, is that people are not yet iuny lniormea: nut u one is found boasting of his transgression this office will take great pleasure in trying out "what virtue there may be in stones."

There are live springs varying la an analysls and the surroundings splen didly adapted for the purpose which the home represents. . Every so-called "cold" is caused by the transfer of germs from one person to another. Every acute sore throat must be looked upon as more or less contagious, whether it proves to be only a slight illness or diphtheria or ordinary tonsllitis. In tact, a simple sore throat seems to be Just as catch ing as the ordinary diphtheria is. Com paratively the simple "colds" and sore throats are much more catching than diphtheria nowadays, for the reason that most human beings have enough respect for diphtheria, when they know it la diphtheria, to take reason able precautions agalast spreading the diseases: but only the minority as yet, are as conscientious about the spread CRIMINAL HOSPITALITY. of other acute nose and throat troubles. Tbe Isolation ef persons who have contagious disease, such as measles icarlet fever, smallpox, chlckenpox. diphtheria and whooping cough. Is more or less burdensome for the pa tient and perhaps for members of the (amlly, yet no one would wish to let lown the bars and subject the whole to mm unity to the risk of Infection lust to save the patient or members if the family from the annoyance of Isolation. ' . The most contagions period ef all the eruptive diseases, at least of scar let fever, measles, german measles and ihlckenpox, is the period ot invasion. even before the eruption shows oa the skin.. Therefore, it Is the duty of par ents to isolate a child from other chil dren the moment a totalled "cold" or sore throat or feverish illness begins, tor who can tell that it Is not one of the eruptive diseases developing t V To send a child to school or to per mit the child to come into persons! contact anywhere with other children when a "cold" or sore throat la de veloping is a crime against public safe ty anyway. .When there, is the least question of any eruptive fever de veloping, the child should he Isolated from all associates until the question is settled one way or tbe other. This is playing the game square. Parents who cannot play square deserve to be punished by the public health authori ties. North Carolina means business, and the State Board of Health intends to use stern measures for those who wlU not play fair. Thousands of children nowadays es cape the eruptive fevers altogether, through intelligent care in preventing the spread of Infection. The writer is a physician frequently in contact with such diseases, yet he has never had them. As children grow up a kind of natural Immunity comes to them, which protects them through life. And everybody knows that now and then even the least alarming eruptive dis eases, such as measles and chicken pox, either end fatally or leave some serious complication or aequel which handicaps the unfortunate child. When in doubt, dont be a hog. uive your own community the benefit ot the doubt Keep the patient Isolated from all susceptible persons until you have the assurance of your physician that there is no danger of Infection, or un til the illness has passed off and health returns. - A great deal of the epidemic dis ease so frequently Dressing oui in spite of the efforts ot the health au thorities Is due to the failure of par ents to Isolate mild cases. The mild ness ot Mary'a' "scarlet rash" or her "stomach rash" is no assurance that when Johnnie catches It he will not be dangerously III or develop some per manently harmful sequel.
