FEBRUARY HAZARD
GUS TO HEALTH
While Sickness Rate is Highest This
Month, Much Can be Done to Avoid

The State Board of Haelth is call
ing attention to the fact that Feb
ruary is the month having the great
est health hazards, and the wisdom
of taking precaution against those
hazards. According to the board, the
sickness rate usually reaches its high
est point in February or the first
of March and then begins to decline.
This is accounted for by the board in
the following statements:
February is about the severest of
the winter months. People stay in
doors more, eat more and exercise
less than during any other month.
Their resistance to disease, probably
already diminished on account of the
indoor life Of January, now becomes
so weak that the body is not able to
resist such as colds, grippe, pneumon-
ia, and probably tuberculosis. Futher-
more, this condition makes it easy
for such degenerative diseases as
Bright's, appoplexy, hardening Of the
arteries, heart failure and diabetes
to gain greater foothold, if they
have one started, and probably to
get beyond the stage where they can
be checked or cured. Any ailment or
illness is the worse and makes the
greater inroads for the reason of a
low resistance or a weak body con-
dition.
"Whiles February may not be made
as healthful as May says the board,
"'there is much one can do to keep
strong and vigorous, a condition Of
the body that not even cold germ
would attack. People cannot expect
to keep well when they overcharge
the body with food three times a
day and then give it no oxygen to
convert it into energy or red blood,
Or when they work ten Or fifteen
hours day in hot room or office
without exercise and the necessary
elements of cool, fresh air. The on
ly way to approach having as good
health in February as in May is to
live as much out Of doors and in the
sunshine, take as much exercise, and
eat as many vegetables as you do
in May"

CANDIDATES IN. SIXTH

"Duke of Brunswick is Thinking of
Being Candidate for Congress Next
Time-Maj. Little May Offer Again
and Representative Grant Has AL
ready Announced His Candidacy
Wilmington Star.
Nh. George Bellamy, who is
known far and wide as 1.-THE Duke of
Brunswick, has announced his inten-
ton Of entering the race for Congress
from the Sixth district, according to
yesterdays Raleigh News and OBJ
server. Mr.. Bcllamy was one Of Con-
gresham Godwin's strongest support
ers in the last campaign. He has al
ways manifested keen interest in
things political.
While it is a bit early to prognos.
ticate about things political two years
hence, it is not unlikely that Maj.
Joseph W. Little who was one of the
prominent candidates in the last race
against Congressman Goodwin, will
again be to. the front. The friends
Of the New Hanover man think he
would make a splendid man for the
position and are urging him to give
it careful consideration.
Yesterdays issue Of the News and
Observer has the following with ref
erence to Mr.. Bellamy:
"The little bubble in this column
a few days ago announcing Repre-
Sentative Grants intention to run for
Congress down the Bloody Sixth
way next time, is already beginning
to assume pre-primary size and to
elicit that interesting of all forecast
ing. The distinguished and we'll
known Duke of Brunswick the Hon.
George H. Bellamy, is in the city and
was talking yesterday about the
Sixth district political pot. 4 don't
think Judge Stacy is going to enter
the race this time; there are some
who will be in the next campaign
for Congress from force of habit and
right now I am considering the ques-
ton Of making the race to succeed
Mr.. Goodwin myself. My friends have
been urging me to get into the we'll
known and deep waters Of Sixth dis
trict politics for the next race, and
it is altogether probable, if the re-
quests continue for me to become a
candidate, that l will do So
"Mr. Bellamy- has been in the State
Legislature a number Of times and

ering his prospective candidacy for
Congress will occasion no little IN

Answering requests from New

severing Of diplomatic relations with
GERMANY, Governor Beckett tonight
said: "North Carolina is conserv-

nations. We had hoped that the
warning governments of the world
would respond to the plea Of our
President aud enter into compact
that would insure permanent and
universal peace. The reply Of Ger
many to this plea for peace is a
deliberate invitation to further
strife. When the German Govern
ment delivered its note of January
81 it knew then as well as it knows
now that diplomatic relations would
be severed. The President could not
have done less without obliterating
every trace Of onr national honor.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Raynham, Feb. 5-We are sure
having some cold weather for the last
few days, since it stopped raining.
Miss Chat Butler Of Rowland, R.

sister, Mrs. Joel Ivey, who is still
real sick.
Mr.. Joel Ivey made a flying trip
to Dillon, S. c., Saturday to take Mr..
Shep Prevatt of Lumberton, R. 6,
and Miss Apple Atkinson of the Cen
ter section, who were happily married
at that place. Wish them a long
and happy life.
Times ere hard and prices high but
il don't stop folks from getting mar
ried.
Measles has been very plentiful but
it is getting little scarce now ard
it seems that mumps and whooping
cough are taking its place.
We were very glad indeed to see
another letter from "Aunt Becky
and to know she was recovering from
her recent spell of sickness. Hope
she will write real often as we en-
joy her letters ever so much.
People are getting behind with
their work on account of the bad
weather. A while it was so rainy
and now SO cold they can't do much.
What are we going to do for roads
if the county commissioners don't get
busy and have something done to
them? When are we going to get
the chain gang on the Lumberton and
Rowland rocd? We were to get it
last May or June, but it hasn't be-
gun yet.
The road law seems to be chang

roads are getting worse all the time,

I think our bird law ought to be
changed also, so as to only give

Secretary Daniel. 4a. Done Wei

secretary Daniels Has Done we'll.
The most abused and vilif1ed cab
met officer since General Ayers time
is Secretary Daniels. If one were to
take the word Of those who follow the
editor of the North American Re-
view, the presence of Secretary Dan
iels in the cabinet is blighting to
every sort of naval efficiency, but
the times are changing. We are hear
ing less and less about "getting rid
Of Daniels" and recent events make
it probable that we shall soon hear
the last Of it.
The most striking of these events
Is the arrival Of the American torpedo
boats on the other side and their par
ticipation in the war against U-boats.
The expedition was managed so dis
creetly that the country knew moth
Ing about it until several days after
the trip across was ended and the
feet had entered into active warfare.
Every boat upon its arrival was re-
ported ready for immediate war serv-
Ice and every one of them was fully
and properly equipped for business at
hand.

rotary Of the navy is one of the bright
est spots in the history of Lincoln's
administration, could not have man

llean Organ.

A fair sample Of much Of the earn.
Ing criticism Of the operations Of the
United States navy under Secretary
Daniels is the following from the Phil.
adelphia Evening Bulletin:
"Rumor rushed through New York
city yesterday, and the first fright Of
the war was incipient when the port
was ordered closed for two hours and
the protective net was drawn across
the channel passage. Visions Of ap-
preaching submarines and reports of
battleship disaster were current, and
the alarm spread, with Increasing op-
portunity for exaggeration as distance
heightened. as the incident was re-
ported over the wires. without any
explanation.
Late in the day, after Washing
ton had professed ignorance as to the
matter, 1t was explained that the or.
der had been issued because Of defen.
sive work outside the harbor which
required a measure Of secrecy. The
explanation might as well have been
given out earlier in the day, saving a
couple Of bad hours in the stock mar.
ket.
"A measure Of publicity, even
about matters which are in their es.
sentials secret, often serves q good
purpose. A simple statement through
the early edition Of the evening news
papers, that the port had been closed
temporarily for defensive purposes,
would have saved an unnecessary
scare"
From this we learn that the proper
thing for the navy management to do
before 1t takes any steps to improve
the defenses of the New York harbor
or elsewhere at time when we are
at war is to print "a simple statement
through the early editions Of the eve
ming newspapers that the port has
been closed temporarily for defen-
sive purposes. That, we are. as
sured, "would save an unnecessary
scare"

to think so. But what assurance
have we that the issuance Of a simple

not afford some of the gamblers a
greater opportunity to fleece the less

ticker tips that the defensive pur-

Of the work Of the navy7 It is so
clearly born of a desire to find fault,
regardless Of the cause, that It fools

mics Of the country and the few parti-
sans who have not ceased to be such

keep OFF POLITICS
No Room for Party Squabb|ing at
This Time.
Both Parties Are Supporting the War.
but the Responsibility Lies With
the Democrats-The Next
House.

Why the talk, already beginning,
about the complexion Of the next
house? What could be more in doubt?
What depends more on circumstances?
What basis exists for reasonable spec
ulation? Over twelve months will
lapse before the first nominations are
made. Eighteen months will lapse be.
fore election day comes. At present
the subject Is cloudy in the extreme.
Today, politics is largely in the back
ground. The war overshadows every.
thing. and both parties are supporting
the war. They will continue to do SO.
They are voting supplies, and showing
every disposition to see the thing
through.
But we are not yet In what may be
called action-certainly not in our
stride. Until we strike that, no causes
for sharp divisions are likely to arise.
But when we do strike that, should
cause for criticism arise, then politics
may come to the fore again.
Although both parties are supporting
the war, the Democratic party is in
full control Of the government. The
war is beginning under Democratic
administration. The commander in
chief Of the army and navy is Dem
ocrat. The vice president and the
speaker of the house are Democrats.
Democrats control the purse, and are
shaping war measures.
Naturally, therefore, If success is
registered in war matters in the com.
ing twelve or eighteen months. should
hostilities continue that long, the Dem
ocrats will claim, and be likely to re-
ceive, the credit.
On the other hand, If things go
wrong in any material measure; If we
fail to serve, either in the raising Of
an army or In the handling of one
raised; If we do not respond in every
way as our European allies are hop
ing we may, the blame will be placed
on those in control, and there will be
plain talk on the subject for effect on
the congressional campaigns next
year. Then. press censorship or no
censorship, discussion will take a wide
range, and pens and tongues be busy
everywhere.
This is the American way. We all
employ it, and we all enjoy it. A rad
zeal change, though formally decreed,
could not be effected. Free speech and
free press are deeply socketed in our
scheme of government, and could not
