FELT BAD

Shellhorn Lady Suffered a Greal
Deal, But Is All Right Now.
Shellhorn, Ala. In a letter from this
place, Mrs. Carrie May says: "A short
time ago, I commenced to have weak
spells and headaches. I felt bad all
the time, and soon grew so had I
couldn't stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got me a bottle
of Cardul, and it helped me; bo he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle, I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, suffering from
womanly trouble, would try Cardul.
It is the best medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything I ever
used."
Cardul Is a woman's tonic a
strengthening medicine for women,
made from ingredients that act spe
cifically on the womanly organs, and
thus help to build up the womanly con
stitution to glowing good health.
As a remedy for woman's ills, It has
a successful record of over 50 years.

REPLIES TO DR. IOLEY.
Dr. Duffy Also Submits His Vlws
On Futile Health Matters. .
Editor Journal: ' - V?
-1 noticed ja your columns this mors,
ing an article which, appeared as an
advertisement' from "jay friend, Dr.
Foley, the city Milk and Meat Inspect
twM As the . Doctor has considerably
overstepped the mark in some of. his
statements ' and as he has .given me
a' good opportunity to state some of
my - views on public health matters,
I take the liberty ta submit the foL
lowing In reply. -,' ' .' ' 'Vi.
In the first place my good friend
Dr. Foley is supposed to be a member
of the Committee on Health and Sani
tation of the Chamber of Commerce.
He was not present at the meeting a
f iw nights ago 'although two notices
o' the meeting had been mailed to him.
It he had been present there would
have been no cause 'for him to have
taken umbrage at what transpired,
The newspaper report of the meeting
was necessarily brief.
I am very sorry to find from Dr.
Foley that I am so densely ignorant
in regard to public health matters, j
But I am charmed to find that Dr.
Foley is so well informed about these
same matters. Again it would be rather
interesting to me and perhaps to others '
to know whose mouthpiece I am, as 1 1
was under the impression that 1 was
my own. As a matter of fact I went
to this meeting absolutely unbiased by
any except opinions of my own and any
ideas which I expressed there I am alone
responsible for. The meeting was in- j
tended as one mainly for orientation ,
to find out where we "are at" in health j
matters in other words. We missed Dr. j
Foley very much indeed as we were '
very anxious to have his views on the
subjects with which he is so familiar '
If there was any criticism expressed '
at this meetine of the character of the
milk and meat inspection, I did not
hear it.
Of course Dr. Foley is aware that
the matter of public health covers a
few other fields outside of that of milk '
and meat inspection. Most of the ! for no teacher can do' justice to himself
discussion at the meeting revolved and the pupils under him in an over
around the question of having a county i crowded room.
superintendent of health who was! "At present there are only twenty
paid a sufficient salary to warrant his 'rooms available for teaching purposes.
devoting his entire time to the public
health work of the city and county.
It was stated that it was absolutely
impcssible for one to practice medicine
and at the same time have general j
supervision of the county health work.
It's too big a job for any man to fill.
If, however, the county would employ
a man to devote his entire time to the
work the campaign could be carried j
on with system and despatch and many
evils which exist today could no doubt
fe corrected.
Dr. Foley critizes me because the
report in the Journal was not more
specific. Again I say the Doctor
should have been at the meeting.'
For his benefit and for general in
formation I will n3w be specific.
I asked one of the local druggists,
who was present at the committee
meeting, what was being ,done at the
soda fountains to disinfect glasses,
dishes and spoons. He told me nothing.
Does it not appear to the most casuual
observer that here i3 a condition that
should be corrected? How easy for
tuberculosis, diphtheria, streptccoccic
tonsillitis, syphilis and other diseases
to be spread in this manner! Likewise
the same is true of the various drink
ing and eating utensils in our restaurants
and hotels. These should be sterilized
in some manner after each individual
use.
Another matter of importance is
the disinfection of utensils and towels'
in our barber shops. Is there any one
among us who would care to contract
case of barbers' itch, to acquire
scabies, pediculosis, ring worm or syph
ilis through the medium of his barber?
Yet these are possibilities. I dare say
that our barbers are as good as any and
are as careful as any, but nevertheless
without strict regulations in regard to
disinfection, one always runs a risk.
I am informed that our sewerage
system here is inadequate but, as Dr.
Foely says, I am very ignorant on thisifpeak of the effeet of the compu'sory
subject and therefore not in a position
to give an expert opinion about it, purposes. -Nevertheless

'The fo!toiag have visted the schools
and give their opinion as to. the need:
A ft w weeks ago a Committee from
the Woman Club .was tappoiated to
visit the. schools nd report- as io;the
needs ejc,. The awnmittee-tonsisted
of ; J.irs.x Harry. Markh, . Chairmao;
Mrs. Qiaii R, Thomas, Mrs. J. P, C
Davis, Mrs." Oyde Eby, and Mrf D.,
E. Henderson. -Th t committee - was
accompanied'by Mrs. S L- Diy, Jr.,
and after spending half a day in the
schools mde the following report which
was unanimously adopted "by the
Woman's Club: .'
"The -. facilities are inadequate for
present needs, and
"Whereas, adequate school facilities
are a necessity, which must exist 'to
enable the city to support its increasing
population, ' '
"Be it resolved that the Woman's
Club of Xew Bern desires to place itself
on record as being in favor of the Bond
Issue, which is to be voted on, May
6th, 1913."
T. D. Warren, chairman of ths
Counly Board of Education and trustee
of the City School, says:
"The approaching election on the
question of ksuing bonds to provide
for l et tor school facilities for the city
of New Bern marks an important crisis
in the educational lifctind development
of this city. Bonds have been issued
by the city to provide for the material
advancement of hercitizens in the way
of providing for substantial side walks
and streets and for other purposes and
no progressive citizen regrets this for
ward movement. How much mere
important must the duty be to provide
for the growing , and imperative needs
for better educational facilities for
the boys and girls of this community.
"The work of the schools in New Bern
is badly crippled and handicapped by
the lack of sufficient school facilities,
especially the lack of school buildings;
In about' half of these you will find
over forty pupils and in one room there
are over 70 pupils. For lack of room
some of the classes have to wait until
after dinner
"What progress can a teacher make
with 77 pupils in one room? The result
is the child is necessarily neglected.
Can the people of New Bern fford
to say to the children we are not able
to provide comfortable seats and suffi
cient room for them while in attendance
upon school and thereby deprive them
of educational facilities to which they
are entitled? For myself I am willing
to pay this additional tax for the benefit
of the children.
"The city schools are growing rapidly
and under the present managment too
much credit can riot be given for the
splendid work that is being accom
plished, in spite of the urgent demands
for more buildings. The increase of
pupils for the year 1913 over school
year 1093-1909 is 1S6 per day and at
this rate in all probability at the end
of another five years the enrollment
will be near 1200 pupils. To meet
this increase, additional acoemmoda
tions are now needed and will be needed
in future. There is a present need of
5 or 6 more rooms and unless the means
are provided to meet this pressing de
mand the cause of . education in the
city will be seriously handicapped.
"Those who have children to educate
and those who are interested in the
education! progress and development
of the boys and girls of New Bern can
not afford to vote against the bond
issue."
S. M. Brinson, County Superinten
dent of Schools and a trustee of the
City; Schools, says:
"The crowded condition of the grades
in the. city fchools a"i the demand on
the prat rf the perpli tr d icat ona!
facilities for their children not to
, law require . more rooms for teaching
require a considerable outlay of money.
"A bond issue of $20,000 (the limit
which the Board of Trustees agree to
" the event the bond issue carries), is
j not too large to meet the requirements
. of the situation. - ,

standpoint, as well as a sanitary one,
