RAILROAD ! FIGHTING DISEASE.

Raleigh, Sept. 29.-Officials of
the Norfolk Southern Railroad Com
pany were here recently making
arrangements with the State
Board of Health to have the latter
send to all their agents the placards
which the Board has recently pre-
pared on the subject of Disease
Prevention. A list of Norfolk
Southern's; agents was furnishes the
Board and the health placards re-
quested to be sent them. Ac,
companying the placards were
personal letters from the company
requesting all the agents to see per-
sonally that the placards were
posted in waiting rooms and public
places.
But the Norfolk Southern is not
the only railway company in the
State to adopt this means of teach
ing health to their passengers and
and employees. Early in July the
Seaboard Air Line Railway and
the Southern Railway Company ad
opted the same means.
Railroads have long been known
as the forerunners of progress and
their recent interest in health work
is only in keer;na with their usual
progressive Spirit.

To attain this end, Dr.. Claxton
proposes that the school house have
a hea}tlful location, we'll drained
and with ample pluy grounds; that
it should be made as fireproof as
possible, with doors opening out
ward; that fresh air be aOuDdantly
provided and that the temperature
in cold weather be kept between
66 degrees and IS degrees F.
He advises further that light be
abundant; that tie room receive
sunlight sometime during the day;
that there be no dry sweeping and
busting, and he adds that scrubbing,
summing and airing are better than
any form of fumigation. He espec-
tally urges that the common drink
ing cup be abandoned; that there be
a convenient place for washing
hands, and that both toilets be at
least SO feet from the school build

In 1908 the people of North Caro-
lima, not by their representatives,
but in the exercise of the solemn
function of sovereign franchise, wrote
into the statutes of the State the
law forever prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating
liquors in the state of North Caro-
lima. That the law has been effect
i've in marked degree in establish
ing soberness among our people is
true. That it he's in many instances
been violated and trampled under
foot by certain element of our
people no one need deny. Anyone
can see that there is an organization
of moonshiners and blind-tieers
that is gaining ground in many
parts of the state and that laughs
III the face of the law and those
VINO would uphold it. When the
day arrives that the violator of the
law will enter the sacred temple OF

lima to raise in it's might and stapn
out the fires of hell that the liquo
men have set burning, to protec
the sacredness of our courts and tn
