Shipman is anxious that no dealer in suj-ar or hotel, restaurant, ])oard- in”- I'.ouse, hospital or other institu tion shall find themselves in such position after Juiy IHth that they cannot purchase su«:ar. “The order is perfectly clear.” stated Mr. Ship man to a News reporter. “No dealer in or user of sujrar can purchase su.’.iar since July 1 excopt houseliold con.^umers. All retail deal ers, hotels, restaurants, board ine; houses, hospitals, county homer: and other institution.": are included in this list. All of these sliould write v/ith- out delay to the Sui^car Division of the Food .Administration at Ralei.irh statin.u- the nature of their business and askin.s' for proper forms upon v.hich to iile their statements.

He reported Jttne oO in his uniform and was ac companied to Camp Wadsworth, at Spartanburg, by J. L Watson, chief clerk of the local board. Morgan’s sorrow for his conduct and his wil lingness to return to camp will prob ably save him from severe punish ment. wss A “speechless campaign” is to be waged in Buncombe so that the can didates of both parties may devote their time to the war activities. The plan was proposed by Thos. J. Har kins, republican candidate for the state senate, and promptly accepted by Judge Stevens, the democratic nominee. Fine. Who next? -W'SS- Mr. and Mrs. John Marshall Price, of Augusta, Ga., v.'ho are making a motor tour of the Vieslevn North Carolina Mountains came to Brevard on Wednesday for a short stay. While here they visited Ceasar’s head and Connestee Falls. They left on Friday for Asheville, Hot Springs and other points of interest. Pl?^asc aliov/ me to wr'te a few w'ords on various subjects—not a formal composit’on, but just an old- time tall:, in v.inch 1 v.-fli try to an- .swer questions that have been put to me. The children’s teeth should be at tended to promptly. K the work is put off too long, the time will have jiassed in which it v.^as to be done. Our dentist wishes to do the work and finish within the time allov.'ed. See tl'.e dent'st or write to him and make an appointment, then be cer tain to keep the appointment. The dentist, Dr. Bennett, over Weilt's store, cannot d.o all of the v.ork at once, and you should as al.'ov^e stated, make arrangornent.' with him so that he could iiave a small bunch of chil dren coming every d.ay. This den tist work is free of charge for scho(d children. Those who do not act ;>romptly, and who fail to get their children’s teoth treated, will only have themselves to blame. Do not wait to be called. This is the only call that will be made. I hope that everyone who needs this, will tell all of his ne=ghbc-s who have not read the paper, so that all will know about having their chil dren’s teeth treated. I wish that those who take the Brevard News would induce ail of their friends who do not take tnc pa per to subscribe, so that I could, roach all in the county v,'ith my little t.)lks on health, and. it wotild enable me to exnlain all of the rules and re;;uh'.- tio’is that are made from time to time. If the committeemen of each one of the schools in the county wdll see or write to me. Twill exnla.in to them all about the vacciiuit.-on to prevent smallpox, and give then pamphiei.s showing how to construct sanitJiry privies. ' I hope that the parents to v.'ho-1 I have sent notices tiiat their children need treatment for tonsils, eyes, cars, etc., will attend to th.e matter promptly. I do not prescribe the removal of tonsils unless I con-ider it absolutely neccssary. When po;-- sible, I prescribe treatment by ho ne physician, so as to prevent an opera tion. Therefore, when I proscribe removal of tonsils by a specialist, e' - eryone can be satisfied that I honest ly believe it absolutely neco; ; ary for the future health of the chih!. besi.ies v.'hen they send child to spcciahst, he too, examines and decides .as to the jieed of the operation. By his means you hhave the opinion of both doc tors, and if the specialist decides not to operate, all well and good. Xo harm will have been done. Th ? statement also applies to the eyes and ears. I have examined a great many children carefully and am struck with the number who have tonsils, eyes and ears that should be treated. Do give the little children an even race in life by having them treated for the above conditions. Do this promptly and it will be an untold blessing to them and to you. in Toledo.
