take at any time to go without food
Of any kind two days and walk five
miles at the end of the second day.
Yet he does no physical labor and is
an office worker. These examples
are cited to show how easy it would
be for people to really stop the waste
of food if they chose and how they
would be benefited by 50 doing. And
the beauty of it is that when you
make up your mind to do it, and cease
to think that you are denying your
self the pleasures of life, you will

HEALTH WORK IN robson
Robson 9th County Accepted for
Health Work Under State
Board of Health Bureau.

Several issues back The Robesonian
told of the adoption of new plan
OF health work for Robson, explain
ing the new plan in detail. A spec
ial of recent date from Raleigh to the
Wilmington Sar had the following in
regard to this new work:
"Robeson is the eighth out of ten
possible counties to be accepted for
county health work in accordance with
the bureau of county health work of
the State Board of Health. DR.. W. A..
McPhaul of Lumberton has been ap-
pointed county health officer. His
first work this fall will be putting
into operation two ofthe most import
ant health laws the State has been
called on to enforce. These are the
quarantine and medical school inspec-
tion laws. Later, DR.. McPhaul will
take up the unit of life extension
work, and an the spring he will do soil
prevention and anti-typhoid work.
Health work is not new in Robe
son. 1t was one of the first counties
to demonstrate the value Of whole
time health officer and the county is
still reaping the benefits Of this ear
ly work. DR.. B. w. Page, the coun-
tvs first whole time health officer,
not only made health work popular
In the county, but saved many lives
and proved that health work pays.
GAS only ten counties can be ac-
eepted by the State Board Of Health
for this work, Robson is fortunate
to be the eighth. The others that have
been accepted are Wilson, Nash, Lee
noir, Northampton, Davidson and Ro-
wan. Pitt has made the required ap-
proposition"

erature was his story of the Hornet.
The Hornet was sailing vessel which
LETT an eastern port and was wreck
ed in the Pacific soon after the close
OF the war. Mark Twain was in Hon
olulu when the survivors reached that
port and he spent day and night in
'terviewing them. The wonderful story
OF their hardships was cabled to a
California newspaper and by it sent
all over the country. It was a true
story. Fifteen men spent forty-three
days on the sea in an open boat with
but ten days ration Of food. Part
OF the time their daily food
consisted of 3 meals of slice
Of bread and meat the size and
thickness of a copper cent, and for
the last five days of their trip they
had no other food than old boot tops
and such things Of that kind as they
could chew upon. Notwithstanding the
fact that they were exposed to severe
cold at night and fearful heat in the
day, with pouring rains much of the
time. they came to port in perfect
health down to man, though, of
SOuA &c, fSOsWcdk- CnaC Lley could not
manage their boat nor take down
sail. From their experience, coupled
with his own, Mark Twain concluded
and so stated, near the end of his
long life, that the best cure for ordi-
nary sickness and bad colds, was to
go without food for a reasonable
length of time.
This story is apropos to the call that
is now being made to our people to
make some effort to economize in
their food so that our fighting broth
ers in Europe and starving women
and children may receive som ething
from our abundance. The average
person in good circumstances in North
Carolina would be infinitely more
healthy and efficient if his eating
were cut off fourth to a half.
We know man who, two wears
ago, ceased to eat meat, both pork
and beef and mutton. He said that
ne had eaten his share. Three weeks
ago ne walked straight down the biz
road for fourteen miles without snf,
fering any bad effects, and though
forty-six years DID,. can sstrot'S a mile

at meeting held at Keokuk Mon
day afternoon. o. r. Johnston OF
Fort Madison, was chosen president
OF the association, which threatens to
become one of the largest and GER
tainly one of the most original
leagues of its kind in the country.
Henry Strickler of Keokuk was
elected as secretary Of the associa-
ton.
The meeting was attended by sew
enty enthusiastic prospective mem
bers, all of them ready to pledge their
undying faith to maintaining the
pledges of the association. The sew
enty members represent acreage on
which 1000 bushels Of beans were
grown this year, which at $40 per
bushel, represents $4,000.
The growing of beans last year
was more or less an experiment with
the growers in this section of the
country and the remarkable success
caused the growers to wish to de-
velop this industry. The organiza-
ton was planned with the object of
getting all growers together so that
they may Interchange views and de-
velop their knowledge on the differ
ent methods of cultivation, adapt
ability of soil, harvesting and mar
keting Of the product.

LAST MESSAGES HOME

Beating the censor is popularity
supposed to be newspaperman' s
game. But it isn't any more. The
newspaper man has learned to re-
spect the blue pencil in authority.
II is now classed among the odd jobs
Of the soldiers. and the way some
OF the Keokuk men let their rela-
tiyes know that they were sailing for
France this last time, is really inter
esting
In a little book on the war table
at the Keokuk public library is a
collection Of letters written by E>s-
sell Kelly of the foreign legion. Kelly
tells his father where he is in the
letter, by writing the names Of five
or six cities and towns in a column.
It looks harmless enough, but the
first letters of these names when put
together in sequence give the name
Of the town where he Is.
The rainbow boys improved even
on this scheme, however. Knowing
that they wouldn't have time to write
when they actually embarked, one of
the boys had it arranged with his
folks that he would send a package
home the day he embarked. And
sure enough bundle came. There
was no writing. no explanation, just
the bundle.
Another boy in the squad arranged
to drop just an envelope into the
mail box. and another put ring
around the stamp on the envelope he
dropped into the mail chute. BY
these tokens their folks here knew
they were leaving.
