TO KEEP WELL
AND ENJOY SUMNER
State Board of Health Offers Advice
On Summer Health Habits

State Board of Health OFFERS. Advice
On Summer Health Habits
In order to spend a :, comfortable,
healthful summer whether at home
or at some resort, says the. State
Board of Health, one must look first
to his diet, then to his bathing, and
then to his sleep, exercises and rec
reation. A few general pAecau-
tions are also included in the list.
The diet should consist largely Of
raw and cooked fruits, well-cooked
vegetables, milk and butter, but very
little Of meat, eggs and heavy foods.
One should eat less in summer than
in winter especially Of heat-produc-
ing foods such as meats, eggs and
pastries. Besides producing heat they
tend to constipation and mental slug
glishness. DRINK much water but
not quantities Of ice water. Above
all avoid constipation.
Take a bath every day. A cool
sponge bath every morning on get
ting out of bed and a tub bath at
night will do much toward keeping
the body in good condition and will
make for comfort as well.
Sleep regularly eight hours. If at
all practical sleep out on sleeping
porch. Arrange to sleep in as much
moving air as possible. Nothing en-
ables one to withstand the heat Of
summer with ease as plenty of un
disturbed sleep in the open air.
Exercise some every day. Open air
games in the cool Of the day are
good for both the mind and the body.
Don't leave off walking because the
weather is warm. Walk early in the
morning Or late in the afternoon.
Walking is always essential to
health.
Recreation is another form of men
tai and physical rest and is neces-
sary to mental and physical health.
Vacations, outings, camping parties
anything that will give diversion,
that will break the monotony and
grind-will. be beneficial and health
making.
Other precautions making for per-
sonal comfort during the summer
are: Don't talk hot weather, don't
think heat; avoid as much as posi-
BILE direct exposure to the SUN; wear
lightweight clothing; go slow and
do nothing in excess; don't dissipate,
don't over-eat or indulge in alcohol
les. But think of the joys of sum-
mer and make up your mind to enjoy
them freely.

PATRIOTIC fETE AT ROWLAND
Given by Ladies of Red Cross Chap
ter-It Was a Grand Success

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Rowland, July 24-The ladies OF
the Red Cross chapter of Rowland
gave a patriotic feteTuesday evening
July II, on the high school grounds
of stars and stripes with red crosses
here and there. These decorations
together with the beautiful booths
made the grounds truly a scene OF
beauty.
Much to the disappointment of ev-
cry one, the clouds began to eathe,
and soen the rain was coming down
In torrents. Everything was rushed
to the school building and there re.

The baby show, one of the chie1
attractions, was broken into when the
rain came, the float, beautifully dec
Grated in red, white and blue bunt-
ing and red crosses, had to be aban.
doned. Although the rain prevented
a number of the babies from coming
this feature proved quite a success
The tots gathered on the rostrum
of the auditorium and amused them
selves and the crowd with their lit
tie stunts. Margaret Ward, little
daughter of Mr.. Ernest Ward, receiv.
ed the most votes fbr the prettiest
girl, and Baby Norment Cobb was
voted the finest-looking boy. Quite
neat little sum was realized from
this feature. The candy booth and
the flower booth also helped much
in a financial way.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed, consisting of chicken salad, pick.
les, sandwiches, iced tea, block ice
cream and cake.
The Lumberton band furnished a
free concert, which was thoroughly
enjoyed by all present. To these
kind friends we wish to etend oul
heartfelt thanks for their unusual
treat.
The money raised, amounting te
about $50, will be used in purchas.
ing equipment and supplies for the
sewing room, which we hope to have
in working order next week. In spite
Of the storm large crowd was pres
ent and every one voted the evening
a grand success. The entertainment
committee wishes to take this oppor
tunity of thanking the people of tn,
community for their hearty coopera
ton in furnishing refreshments ant

i WANTS NO JOINT COMMISSION
President Asks Congress to Cut Out
Provision in Food Bill for Commlt,

President Wilson asked Congress
Monday to eliminate from the food
control bill a Senate amendment ere
ating a Joint committee Of Senators
and Representatives to confer anu
advise with executive officials on
war expenditures. The Preslaent
pointed out that such commltCee ::
would be likely to harrass those olc
rectly responsible for the conduct OF
the war. Retention of the sectlon' ne

PEELED to interpret as signlfying a
slack of confidence in myself.
AS revamped by the Senate, the
food bill gives the President authorl-
ty over foods, feeds and fuels, the
latter including kerosene and gaso-
lene; provides for administration oy
a food board of three members IN
stead of an individual; authorizes
Federal fixing Of coal prices; requls,,
itioning and operation Of mines AND
authorizes a minimum guaranteed
price Of not less than 50 per bushel
for wheat, at primary markets. The
Senate prohibition sections, promo;
iting the manufacture Of distilled
beverages during the war, and direct,
ing the President to buy all distilled
spirits in bond, was substituted for
the House ''bone dry" provision and
will be one subject of difficulty in
conference.
Senators voting against the bill
were: France, Maryland; Hardw1ck
Georgia; Penrose, Pennsylvania; Reed:
Missouri; Sherman, Illinois, and
Sutherland, West Virginia.
The Senate provision for food
control board of three instead Of one
administrator will be the subject Of
a fight in the House. It is contend
ed that to assign three men to food
board instead Of vesting the power
in one man would only delay results
by scattering authority.

Wilson Ends Shipping Board Row by
Putting Out Both G0ethais and

President Wilson brought the ship
ping board row to an abrupt term
nation Tuesday by eliminating the
two principals William Denman,
chairman Of the board, and Major
General Goethals, manager of the
boards emergency fleet corporation
IN charge of construction.
The resignation of General Goe-
thals, rendered some days ago, was
accepted, and Mr.. Denman was asked
by the President to follow suit that
the governments building program
might go forward without embar-
rassment.
Edward N. Hurley of Chicago, for
mer chairman of the Federal Trade
commission, was named by the Pres.
ident to succeed Mr.. Denman to be-
come chairman of the board, and
cambridge Colby OF New York was
appointed successor to Captain John
r. White of Kansas City, another
board member whose resignation, Of
fered to the President a month ago,
also was accepted. Rear Admiral
Washington L. Capps, chief construc-
tor Of the navy, will succeed Gener-
al Goethals as manager Of the fleet
corporation, taking immediate charge
OF the building program.
Mr.. Denman sent his RESIGNATION
to the White House Immediately af-
ter receipt Of the Presidents letter
requesting it. The Presidents ac-
ton manifestly took him by surprise.
but his only comment was this:
1T was the best way to settle the
Whole thing. I want to help the
PRESIDENT in every way possible and

of his decisions" .

RyTTEN BY yENOMOUs SNAKE
Sucked Out Poison, Washed Out
Mouth With Gin, and Escaped
Death-A Charmed Life

Bitten by q rattlesnake's pilot and
lived to tell the tale. That is the ex-
perience Of Mr.. U. S. Page, son OF
Mr.. E. E. Page of Lumberton, chief
of police of Mount Olive, for which
town he left yesterday after a visit
to the home of his father. When
the venomous reptile bit him on his
left thumb last Saturday afternoon
Mr.. Page stuck that thumb in his
mouth and sucked for about five min
utes for dear life. Then he washe.7
his mouth out with gin, bandaged ms
arm to keep the poison from spread
ing, and waited for the doctor. who
arrived some three-quarters OF an
hour later. The hand and arm swelled
up considerably but whenMr.Page LEFT
Yesterday there was not much swell
ing and he seemed none the worse
for his experience.
It happened in Bladen county at
farm of the elder Page. Father
and son were killing rats in corn
crib. They noticed that rats would
not go down into the corn. Mr. Y
S. Page picked up an ear Of corr
and was bitten by the snake. Mr.. E
E. Page ran the snake out with a
pitchfork and Mr.. u. S. Page killed
it with gun. 1t was four feet long
according to both father and son.
A curious fact connected with the
incident is this: Mr.. U. S. Page gave
his father bottle Of gin for snake
bite something over a year ago. The
father had never had o&casion to
use the gin and it had never been
uncorked. It was that selfsame bot
tie of gin that the son used to wash
the poison out of his mouth after
sucking the wound, and which may
be saved his life.
Mr.. U. S. Page seems to live in
the midst of alarms. He thrives on
'em. firing Of a quiet life, some
years ago he left these peaceful
walks hereabouts and enlisted for a
soldier and maybe saw service on the
Mexican border. He got an honor
able discharge and when Mount Olive
advertised for a chief Of police he
applied for the job and got it. Soon
in the discharge of his duties he had
to deal with desperate negro and
narrowly escaped ueaIn. LdCef ne
ran away with the daughter Of a
prominent citizen and that created
excitement, and they came to Lum-
berton for while after hairsbreadth
escapes. Things ouieted down from
that and they lived happy ever after.
Bye and by, not So long ago, Mr..
Page and another officer had to shoot
and kill a bad negro, and the first
newspaper dispatch had it that about
all of Mr.. Pages jaw OR something
had been shot away. That proved
narrow escape. Then he came to
Lumberton on a visit to home folks
and had another narrow escape, this
time a venomous snake having de-
signs on his life.
Mr.. Page must bear a charmed
life

THE RAPE OF THE RYE
How a Certain Man Looked Upon His
Field of Rlpened Rye at Eventide
But Found it Not When He Went
Forth at Dawn to Reap

Forth at Dawn to Reap
A certain Lumberton man said to
himself, back in the days when the
present year OF grace was young,
"Go to, now, will plant me field
Of rye, and when comes the good old
summer time that rye will rioen and
shall fall to the reaper,s blade aad
shall add store to my barn"
And he went forth and ploved and
toiled and sowed the grain, hoping
to reap many .hundredfokl. By and
by the blade appeared, and then the
stalk: And dav by day as this GER
tain laborer in the vineyard passed to
and fro he looked with tender pride
Upon the greenness. hat was cover
ing the earth, saying to himself that
there would be abundant fruit. In
due season the heads Of grain ap-
peared and waved gracefully in every
passing breeze; and then they ripen-
ed for the harvest: .>,s-r: -
There came a day when the man
who had planned thus, and, had thus
toiled with his hands, anas had look
ed forward to the harvest, took coun-
sci with himself and said, "Go to-
now, the grain is fully ripe. On the
morrow l will reap and. gather in
to my barn." -. ...e -,
But that very light while he slept
another came and reaped the golden
grain and carted it away to other
barns, without saying a word about
it. And when the man who had plan
ned and sowed and toiled and look
ed forward to the harvest went forth
joyously to reap, there was not a
darn rye left.
Which thing puzzled him exceed
ingly, and he has finally decided that
the next time he plants rye he will
not do it, or if he does he will sit
up with it with a shotgun when the
harvest time draws nigh.
