TYPHOID VACCINATION NOT
A FAD AMONG PEOPLE,

Vaccination for typhoid fever is
not a fac, as some people think, and
its disappearance Or disuses may not
soon be expected. According to the
State Board of Health, typhoid vaccine
has ONE to stay and will do this on
it's own merits. Wherever it's value
has been intelligently pursued, the
results have been a large number of
Iimmunes, a small number of cases
and a much smaller number of deaths.
Wherever it's use has been made COM
pulsory, the disease has practically
disappeared. In other words. typhoid
vaccine is no longer an experiment,
but n of the ages greatest discov-
cries for preventing sickness and
death. {
The question, how long does vacci-
nation remain good, is yet to be answ-
cred definitely. People freshly vacci-
mated with vaccine rarely get typhoid
and they very rarely die of typhoid.
But vaccination against typhoid offers
a measure of protection that is nearly
absolute. Its s is practically devoid
of danger and it offers protection. pro-
badly, for much longer than three
years.
The vaccines are easy to get and not
difficult to give. The reaction attend
ing them are not severe; not more
than one or two per cent, react at all
severely. Even this. it may be said,
can be prevented by splitting the ini-
tial dose, giving it in two instead Of
one.

O M BRAINS.

That booze and brains won't mix or
work well together is a statement that
is based not upon guess work o Is 1t
a question Of anti-this or anti-that. 1t
is a statement based on the results of
experiments made by eminent scien-
lists, who devised a series of tests
and applied them to many individuals
before and after they had taken alco-
holic liquor.
In all cases the ability to add, to
memorize and to think quickly gel
greatly reduced within a few minutes
after taking the drink. and the handi-
cap lasted for as long as three days.
The mor difficult the task, the great
er vas the handicap and the more
numerous were the mistakes made by
the one tested. On 1.-The average the
falling OFF in efficiency under alcohol
amounted to over Is per cent, as COM
pared to normal conditions. These
men were not drunk, but had simply
had a moderate drink. What is more,
everyone of them imagined that he
was doing work fully up to grade
while the tests showed that it was far
below.
According to these tests" says the
State Board of Health, ''he who would
think must not drink. The. person
who poisons his system with alcohol
brides his mind. as well as his body,
He becomes rs full of prejudice as his
breath is full Hf Tunes Schiller
has said. Wine invents nothing; il
only blabs it OUT"

WHY CHILDREN DO NOT
LIKE TO STAY ON THE FIRv
Drift to the City Not Without Reas,
No Effort to Keep Children on
The Farm,

con a recent visit to a typical rural
school in one of our Georgia couD.
ties" says a writer in the WESLEYAN
Christian Advocate, 81 inquired from
the two-score children present how
many lived on the farm and received
the reply that over two-thirds of the
children in this school came from
farm homes. I then inquired how
many wished TO remain on the farm
Not one single hand went up. The
next inquiry directed to the children
was, Why do you not wish to remain
on the farm when you grow up" And
the girls and boys were frank in their
answers: TOO much work and and too
little money. Too much work and TOO
little play. We must go to town to
do the big things. Only the stupid
children and those who cannot get
away remain on the farm
II then asked how many of the
boys and girls owned chickens, pigs
calves, gardens, flowers, playhouse,
books, and other good things on The
farm that one cannot get in the town
Only one Or two hands responded 70
this inquiry. Around the school
house there were mud and guIie'
with no flowers, no walks, no In
provements. no gardens. The teacha
was pointing the children away from
the land and the greatest OpportunIq
which could come to American boys
and girls. ,.I
"The questions for the school 20
consider are: First, what will become
of the country if all the boys s% y"
girls go to town? Second, what W..
become of the country if all the Des
boys and girls go to town? a..
meantime, what will become OF @
nation and the boys and girls tnsD'
selves ?''

SHIPMAN BUYS NEW HOME:
WILL QUALIFY AS WALKER.

A Raleigh dispatch to the Charlotte
Observer says:
Number lis Forest Road Drive,
Cameron Park, is the new home ad-
dress of Commissioner NJ. L. Shipman.
He has just purchased a handsome
home in Cameron Park, a fashionable
Raleigh suburb, and is occupying it
with his family who have been iE
IIen5el sonville and Breyard for the
summer and hurried home lest, they
should be tied up the mountains in
definitely through the strike of, rail-
way men that was threatened"
The Raleigh correspondent OF the
Greensboro News has also found out
that Mr.. Shipman expects to set up a
walking record and tells about it as
follows:
Commissioner of Labor and Print
ing M. L. Shipman is going to agab1
qualify as a walker. Reared IN the
mountains of Henderson county, Mr..
Shipman has always stepped high
but since coming to Raleigh has had
less perambulatory exercise than tor
merly was his'n. He moved to Cam
eron park this week and Cameron park
is just without the city limits. The pre-
position he sets out with is that he will
walk down to work each morning of
the six set apart for labor and will
make the trip. in 25 minutes. Some
who have tried it say 1t can't be done;
others claim to have thriven on the
walk and to have made it in less
time.''

the first official information to that

the people in the Heart of the Blue
Ridge. Mr.. Falls declares. 1t has
been repeatedly pointed out that the
task is n requiring the resources OF
the state if the road is to be opened
within any reasonable time. Even az
it is now the farmers in the Bar
Cave and Chimney Rock sections will
be isolated for many weeks and pos
