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.

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.

Gillespie COUNCIL 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 for population and the many discover ies of the present age life is more intense. Our fathers anj mothers of' blessed memory were not rropellea at as rapid a pace as we, their heirs.. The bird machine, the telephone,. the wireless and wine borne were to them absolutely unknown. Chemistry^: the science of affinity, is, too, now wearing seven league boots in its on- - ward march to keep up with the gen eral progress of events. These things are not mentioned to undeiTate our • predecessors—far from it. All honor to the pioneers for whom no macadam roads lay ahead; their • means and methods were, compared to those of this time, cru^, but their achievemenlis good. MM^na and t surgery, hygiene and nMWion, in ■ 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.
