Monday, May 11, will be generally
ob.crvcd as Mothers' Day. Nobody is
so much entitled to honor as the moth
er. The custc m of setting a day apart
especially for the purpcsei of honoring
her is a comparatively new one, but
it wi'.l abide for there is an excellent
reason for its existence. More thought
about the mothers cf the country by
their ihildren would tend to a remedy
f ix many of the social ills of the day.
ONE TWENTIETH OF ONE PER
CENT.
A f.'W people seem to have confused
the proposed additional school tax of
five cents on the hundred dollars with
a tax of five per cent. In fact we be
lieve there is a circular out opposing
the bond issue which says something
tbut a five per cent tax. Of course
there is a tremendous difference be
tween a tax of five cents on the hundred
dollars and a tax of five pir cent. Five
cents on the hundred dollars is only
one tweniieth of one per cent. This
is the merest Iridic. It should deter
no one from voting for ti e bond issue.
MORE ACTIVITY AGAINST DIS
EASE NEEDED.
The Health and Sanitation Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce
did the community a service Wednes
day night when it called attention to
the need for mere active measures in
New Hern and Craven county against
possible ravages cl disease. It appears
to us, too, that there is much in the
contention of Dr. Duffy that more
strenuous execution of the sanitary
laws would conn- i f having one man
devote his whole time to the work than
is pccsiblc under the present arrant e
mcnt. When a man has a defini e
work to do and is nut distracted by
other duties he is more apt to get results
than are several whose public
work is done as a side issue while their
main income comes from their private
activities.
We believe that New Bern is going
to take a forward step next Tuesday
in the matter of school facilities. We
should also like to see it go forward
in health and sanitation. The action
of the Board of Health following the
adoption cf resolutions by the Chamber
of Commerce Committee will now
be awaited with interest.
Conservation of the health and lives
of the city and county is a n atter of
the greatest moment. Congratulations
to the Health and Sanitation Com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce for
taking hold of its duties promptly and
energetically. Its co-optration will
be welcomed, we feel si re, by the Craven
County Board of Health.
Talk about not being willing to hand
down a debt to the next generation,
those children in the parat'e yesterday
didn't seem to be afraid. And they are
the next generation.
NOBODY INFALLIBLE.
Because there is seme supposed de
fect in the management of the city
schools is no reas n for voting against
the bond issue for schools. The schools
never will be managed so they will suit
everybody. And een when a patron
is not entirely suited in a matter of
school policy or curriculum, there is
always the possibility that he is wrong
and the trustees right, though of course
it is freely to be conceded that there is
a possibility that the trustees are wrong.
Nobody is infallible.
KEEPING A LEVEL HEAD.
Between jury reform in New Jersey,
anti-alien legislation in Ca'ifornia, the
tariff question in Congress and' the
thirst lor office as displayed by thous
ands of Democrats, President Wilson
is plainly a very busy man. But he ii
keeping his head in (he midst oi it all.
Senator Vzrdaman of Mississippi was
an Underwood man prior to the Demo
cratic convent'on in Baltimoie, but
from the time Wilson won ou in that
memorable contest until now Vardaman
has been a greit admirer of Wilson,
laid he the other day:
"Woodrow Wilson has made more
progress in the way oi increasing my
estimation of him than any public
iran in the same length of time that
i have veer known or heard of."
WEEKLY
QURNAL
GUARDING AGAINST DISEASE, f
There seems to be some difference
of opinion as to whether sufficient
preca ttionary measures against dis
e se arc taken in New Bern and Craven
county. We are printing today
with the approval and endorsement ol
the State Board of Health an article
hiided "How to Control Malaria".
To w hat extent for instance is the work
to prevent breeding of mosquitoes as
d23cribed by Dr. Evans done in Craven
county? Malaria cause a very great
loss to Craven county every year.
Iudividual effort will not wipe it out.
The State Board of Health says on
this:
Individual effort is no more satis
factory in preventing malaria than is
boiling the water by the individual
successful in keeping a community
from having typhoid. Not much will
be accomplished until mosrquito sur
veys are made, sanitary inspectors em
ployed, and oiling squads used.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
ty local applies ;ions, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that ii by constitutional remsdiri.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed yon have a rumbling sound or
imperfect .hearing, and when it it en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the mucous
sui faces.
