When you for water burn.”
“Como out” cries nature, “and play

Oh joy! Oh joy! at fair Brevard.

County Food Administrator Thos.
H. 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

and askin.s' for proper forms upon
v.hich to iile their statements. W’hen
these statements have been made out
and returned to Ralei.ub the Sui.rar
DH i: ion will send certificates for the
st-::ar renuired of each iirm or in
stitution.
“The attention of all dealers in
su;rar is called to the requirement
that all de:devs must keep an abso

mii’dcd that the maximum quantities

“Suirar dealers are required to sell
su.uar only to their re.uular casto-
mcr.; and to c(<nline such customers,
even their ret.’ular ctistomers, to a
minimum not exeeetl’np: three pounds

pounds is not an abitrary allotment
^er vecl: or any other period be

“Ik'.^innine: July 1, eight insiiec-

John Posey Morgan, who left Camp
Jackson about Christmas, sent word
to our local board that he v. ould like
to return to camp. 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

ably save him from severe punish

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.
