Tomatoes and potatoes should have
frequent applications of bordeaux
mixture as a spray this rainy wea
ther. Blight thrives under these con
ditions and unless steps are taken to
control the disease, the crop will be
cut short. Sprinkling the plants is
no near so effective as is a small
pressure sprayer since it is necessary
to cover the under surface of the
leaves as well as the upper side. Spray
the fruit (tomato) also. It will help
to keep them from rotting and will
not hurt the one who eats them.
Frequent cultivation is very es
sential also but use one culti
vator only when land is dry enough
for stirring when land is muddy does
more injury to the land than the pre
sent crop will be worth.
Late plantings of com and beans
are in order. Plan to have good fresh
corn even after frost comes. This
can be done by cutting the corn at
the ground and storing in some dry
place.

and grass seed right away. If you
put this off until you need them,
you might be disappointed in getting

Raleigh, N. C., June 19, 1922—
The State Board of Elections com
pleted on Thursday it canvass of the
returns from the various counties
and districts showing results of the
votes cast for state and district offi
ces in the state-wide primary on Sa
turday, June 3. Previous estimates
were generally sustained'in the con
clusions reached by the canvassing
board.
The vote cast for Corporation Com
missioner showed that Lee carried
69 counties with a total of 95,967,
and that Avery carried 31 counties
with a total vote of 75,299, the to
tal vote cast for Corporation Com
missioner being, 170,866, and Lee’s
majority being 20,268. This is 20,-
000 higher than most forecasters
predicted and 5,000 below the es
timate of a small number who had
been watching closely the progress
of the campaigns in a number of ju
dicial districts and the Third Congres
sional.
The seven candidates for the de
mocratic nomination in the Third
Congressional district received a to
tal of 16,318 votes. The highest 1
went to Chas. L. Abernathy, v/ho ve- \
ceived 5,726. Maj. Matt H. Allen'
is second with 3,794, or 1,932 le.'j }
than his leading opponent, whom he

Present Training School Exists Only
by Order of Secretary of Wap—
Want School Put on Perma>
nent Basis.
Washington.—That tlie army school
of nursing will soon be made an in
tegral part of the army organization
is the iiope of Maj. Julia Stimson, su
perintendent of tlie army nurse corps.
The nurse corps believes in pre
paredness for service—in peace or an
emergency. And preparedness, from
the point of view of the corps, means
a training school for nurses, corre
sponding in a general way with the
training school for officers at West
"oint.
We Jiave such a school, but it exists
only_ by an order of the secretary of
wjir. This may be a permanent enough
existence, but it has an indefinite
sound. Congress is to be asked, there
fore, to give this important School a
military status so that it way be a part
of ti e army {.nd so liiat the student
nurses may iiave the relative rank of
cndotr., instead of the status of civilian
employees of the medical department
ol! the aruiy.
Until the recent war the army maln-
t;tin('«i « small standing corjis of nurses
iu time of peao« and when it needed
large numbers recruited tliem from the
lied Cr«>ss nursing service, liut dur-
itvg the World war the army opened
its own training school to fit women
Tor service, and it proved a successful
%vnture. The first class of oOv> younj:
women was graduated last June. Thej
served Auring their training at Waltei
ileed {wnd Letterman General hospitals,
and (tfher army hospitals in this coun
I tr.v, smd in that way rendered valuable
service.
! Trained for Civilian Service.
Tlie scb.ool of nursing cannot use all
j of uts gra<luates in ordinary times, but
I those who are not nee<led go out wel;
itnviined to giv« service in civiliaii
.fi»?lds. Some of 41ie army nurse gradu
ates have gone into the newest line ot
iBursing, public 3iealth work. Other.'^
fiave gone iiato private hospitals,
h(»mes, iustitEtions and factories.
Tlu‘re is need for every .one of them,
for tliere are never enough nurses
graduatetl fr«ni first-class schools, ii
seems. It is l>ecause of this great nee<I
for well-traiii«d nurses and because il
is an e<*ono!By to the government to
get its nursBfig done partly by stu-
dent.s—as h«»!^ hospitals do—that the
army school <*f nursing expects to con
tinue.
The scho«i is really two schools
Walter Keed hospitiU in this city takes
the greater i«rt of the students, but
to make it easier for Western girls t<
take the couasse, training is als<* give;
in San Fniticisco at the Lettcnnai
(leneral hosjiStai.
It is interesting to visit the schot>’
at Walter Iwenrd. One goes with the
vague Idea, pt^rhaps, that first aid Is
tiie prominent subject in any arni\
nurse’s course. He would not be sur
prised to find one of tiie demonstra
tion rooms fitted out like a camp with
dummies dressed in khaki to be used
as models for dressing imaginarj
wounds.
One finds, however, that there is
very little of the emergency atmos
phere in the school. Hospital and
transportation facilities for wartime
nursing have been developed so hlghl\
during the late war that the arm.v
nurse can count on having practicall.v
the same apparatus as the nurse in
any civilian hospital.
Nor Is the army nurse taught only
ihe tfechnique needed in treating battle
■ «ises. She goes through the .same
course of training that the civilian
nurse does.
One of the instructors points out
with patriotic pride that the army
sciiool is one of the few schools of
nursing in the country that is able to
cover the entire course recommended
by the League of Nursing education.
“The army can do this,” said the
nurse instructor, “because the students
are on ward duty less than in most
hospitals. And then, too, there are so
many instructors from the army medi
cal school who can be called on to lec
ture for us.
“Besides the unusual opportunity of
studying with so many specialists, the
anny nurse student has an opportunity
to visit ai <1 study in other hospitals.
There is no provision for teaching pub
lic health nursing at Walter Reed, nor
for mental nursing, nor care of chil
dren nor maternity cases. For these
subjects, the army affiliates with hos
pitals specializing; in such cases. Stu
dents sjiend at Icr.st a “.'.'rd of their
Fellman, of the Jewish
Chri.stmn Mission of New York, will
or sermon here Sunday, June
25, 1922, at 11:00 A. M., at che Bap-
tist church. His subject will be “The
J -hristian Obligation to the Jew,” and
his sermon will be given in place of
o Sunday mornng sermon
pastor, Rev. Chas. C. Smith.
Mr* Feiijyj^n ig said to be a highly
educated, cultured Jewish teacher
and preacher. He has traveled in
many countries and has spoken be
fore many audiences in behalf of
his people. He spent three years in
Jerusalem and understands Zionism
and will give an explanation from the
Jewish standpoint.
Mr. Fellman will also deal, it Is
said, with the divisions of Judasm,
such as the orthadox and reform
movements. His address ,should be
u ®^^d peculiar interest to
both the Jew and the Gentile. All
of the Jewish people of Transylva
nia, as well as others interested in the
present world movement, are urged
to attend the sermon Sunday morn
ing.
THE CHILD
The child is now, as always, ihe
chief human interest but time has
determined that more and more it is
the centre of the stage from a phy-
sicial standpoint for with the increase

ies of the present age life is more
intense. Our fathers anj mothers of'
blessed memory were not rropellea

The bird machine, the telephone,.

them absolutely unknown. Chemistry^:
the science of affinity, is, too, now

ward march to keep up with the gen
eral progress of events. These things
are not mentioned to undeiTate our •

common with other inter^ro, have"
caught the onward trend and put at
the service of the coming generation
good school buildings, properly heat
ed. properly ventilated, and with
lighting carefully placed in order to
preserve vision. Physical errors in
the structure of the eye have been
recognized and methods for correct
ing the same adopted. Proper sup-
pies of water are now provided, for
it is now beyond any doubt that many
diseases are water born.
It is also demonstrated that the ■
teeth are frequently the cause of in- ,
definite aches and pains extending
throughout the body by reason of
being points of doparture ;cor infLC-
tion from decayed area^ in or around
them, pus pockets distributing their
evil products by various channels in
to the general system, there is uca
question that many cases of go call
ed rheumatism have their origin in
such pus pockets. The tourists whose’
function in the healthy body is not
well defined at this time, are also
responsible for a long train of bodily
troubles. It goes without argument
that the ideal healthy body should
have all its members and parts in
perfect conditon. That thi.s might
be attained, attenton to all things
from an early age is of prime im
portance—proper foodstuffs properly
prepared nre essential, also proper
surroundings as to air, clean bodies,
clean premises, c’ean teeth. The last
named are probably less caused for
than any members of the body and
are amonc the most important, for
good teeth, to say nothine. from a
cosmetic standpoint, are highly es
sential to the bodily w'elfare and
should be cleaned two or three times
daily, for be it remembered the
mouth is particularly suitable as a
home for germs, temperature and
moisture being exactly right. Keep
it clean.
