HON. G. S. FERGUSON JUDGE
FINDS AN OLD POEM ON LOAN
Prof. Edward Everett Hale Discovers
it in His Father's Diary of 1861.
Special to the New York Times.
Washington, Oct. 22. A friend has
lent to Secretary Lansing the follow
ing poem. '"Take The Loan," -which
was written by Edward Everett Hale
n May, 1861. It was set to music
zr.d sung through the country in the
fall of 1861, and was found by Pro
fessor Edward Everett Hale of Union
College in his father's civil war' diary:
Come, freemen of the land,
Come meet the great demand,
True heart and open hand
Take the loan!
For the hope the prophets saw
For the swords your brother's draw,
For lieberty and law,
Take the loan!
Ye ladies of the land,
As ye love the gallant band
Who have drawn a soldier's brand
Take the loan!
Who would bring them what she could
Who would give the soldiers food,
Who would stanch her brother's blood,
Take the loan!

Pertinent questions on health, hygiene find sanitation of general interest to our
readers will be answered in these columns or by mail If addressed to' this office or to
the State Board of Health at Raleigh and accompanied by a stamped, addressed en
velope. No diagnosis or treatment of Individual diseases-will be attempted.
JSuppose you have nil early stage of
the disease aud you are living the ojiaii
air life, receiving wholesome food and
good medical care. You may feel pret
ty good and think you need a certain
amount of exercise, such as walking.
But when you take even moderate ex
ercise the lung works harder, moves
through a wider space. Consequently
delicate healing tissue is stretched or
torn, as a spider's web uiight be
stretched or torn, and you give the
germ, the disease, a chance to spread.
Persons with "lung trouble." as tuber
culosis is too commonly called, cannot
reaize the vital importance of prolong
ed rest in bed in the early stage of the
disease. They feel able to be up and
about, and thy imagine it "weakens"
ANK of the most powerful allies of
the germ of coii.s.uuiitlou..ii('e it
gains a foothold in the lungs, is
exercise.
To the average victim of tuberculosis
this may sound a little startling. That
is why we put it that way.
Teople generally believe that a cer
tain amount of exercise is always ad
visable for an invalid' who is able to lie
up and ahout. Yet for the tubercu
losis victim it is always a serious
question whether any exercise should
be taken.
