His restless nature had made
him somewhat of a torment to
his teacher at times, and one

Anyway, she finally said:

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICERS
:. ENDORSED BY10CT0R
Meeting Of Halifax County Medical
Society at Roanoke Rapids Last
Thursday Goes on Record in
Favor Of Whole Time
Health Officer
A BIG STEP FORWARD

At a meeting of the Halifax
County Medical Society held at
Roanoke Rapids on Thursday,
March 8, the doctors present
went on record whole-heartedly
in favor of a whole time health
officer for.Halifax County.
The Society intends to petition
the proper authorities on the
first Monday in May for the
appointment Of a man fully quail
fled for the position. His duties
would be to make periodic exam
nations of the children in the
public schools, to have entire
supervision of the sanitary and
disease prevention work in the
county. The Halifax County
docters want a health officer who
will give his whole time to health
work pure and simple and they
believe the salary paid to such 6
man would be one of the best
investments the county could
possibly make.
Counties all over the State who
have tried the whole time health
officer plan have been immediate
ly converted to enthusiastic
endorsement of the idea.
The Halifax County Medica
Society is to be commended b.
the people at large for the suppor
which they haue pledged to the
movement to secure a Health
officer for the county.

Cockroaches Carry Filth and
Disease

Cockroaches are an unmitigated
household pest, as all good house
wives will agree. They are also
dangerous as carriers of disease.
They will feed on almost any
dead animal matter, food-stuf's,
and cereal products of every
kind. 1t is also asserted that
they will eat their own cast-otf
skins and effects cases and that
they attack and eat other species
of reaches. They also eat or
Egnaw woolens and leather and
frequently do much damage to
book bindings. They are es-
pecially fond of the paste or siz-
ing in cloth bound books.
But the damage by reaches is
by no means confined to the
amount of foods they consume,
butts found in the fact that they
pollute and render nauseous and
dangerous every kind of human
food, everything with which
they come in contact. Wherever
reaches run in large numbers,
they create a fetid, sickening
odor which clings persistently
to pantry and kitchen shelves
and furnishings and which can
only be removed by a thorough
.cleasing with soap and boiling
water. This odor comes partly
from the excrement, but chiefly
is due to a dark colored fluid
exuded from the mouth of the
insect, with which it stains Its
runways. 1t comes also from
certain glands which secrete ar
billy liquid, which possesses 9
very charactistic and disagreable
bdor.
AS a thoroughly effective ane
simple means of ridding ones
premises of reaches, the United
States Department Of Agriculture
recommends fumigating will
nydrocyanic-acid gas. This gas
however, is extremely dangerou
to human beings, but with pro
per precautions may be use'
with safety. Pyrethrum powde
libcrally used is another remed!
suggested by this department
but it is not given as an alto
gether perfect remedy.

OVERLAND GIRLS
PLAY PACKED HOUSE
Weeks Run Here Closes Saturday.
Clean and Pleasing Tabloid
Musical Comedy

McGeorge's Overland Girls
Company which has been play
ing the entire week at the
Peoples Theatre, Roanoke Rap
ids, and the Rosemary Theatre,
have given the best shows in the
2Os class that have ever been
given in this community.
Every bill has been clean,
clever and entertaining. Especial
ly good is the blackface comedy
work of Julious Shop, buck
dancer and monologue artist.
The singing of the Harmony
Trio alone is worth the price OF
admission to lovers of music, and
Miss Shirley Milhitte, the sing
ing and dancing soubrette, has
made a decided hit with every
audience. Red" Mack the small
fiery headed comedian is a laugh
producer from start to finish.
Taken as a whole the Over
land Girls Company could be
favorably compared with road
companies playing to dollar seats
and the packed houses they have
drawn here this week is evidence
0 the fact that their work is un
usually good. They will play al
The Peoples Theatre tonight
and Saturday afternoon anc
night, we understand, will b.
the closing performances here.

Towh Attacks Fly Problem

The town Of North Wilkesboro
has set apart this week and
next, March 6 to 18, to clean up
and exterminate the house-fly-
to kill him before he gets here.
Mr.. H. w. Horton, manager OF
North Wilkesboro's Anti-Fly
Campaign believes that prepared
ness against the fly's arrival in
the spring is the best way to
keep him away in the summer.
He says; "One fly destroyed
now is better than a thousand
killed in June or July" and it's
on this principle Mr.. Horton
proposes to work his campaign
and rid his town Of flies both
now and this summer.
That not a single fly may escape
Mr.. Horton will distribute over
the town 500 fly swatters with
the request that every fly that
has survived the winter be swat
ted this week, and to the person
who presents the first pint ct
dead house flies, he will i've 80
in gold. To the next FIVE pre-
senting a pint of dead lilies, ha
will give 81 each.
Mr.. Spainhour the Mayor offers
SIS in gold to the pc son getting
together the largest pile of rub
bish, filth, tin cans and trash,
and 81 each for the next five
piles, ....
