What One Can Do To Take Care
OF His Health

AS one death in three is from
a preventable disease, there IS
evidently much that individuals
can do of their own choosing to
ward off diseases and prolong
their life. And it is not always
the big things, the most difficult,
that a person can do that will
count most in maintaining health,
hut it's the little daily habits and
careless customs that count most
either for or against health. For
instance:
One can keep their fingers Out
of their nose and mouth and
teach their children the same
When one coughs, he can always
turn his head and use his hand
kerchief after having time u
reach it. One can wash his hands
before meals for his own protect
ion and after meals for the pro
lection of others. One can avolt
close proximity with other per
sons who are coughing and sneez
inc and thus avoid a cold for him
self. In short, one can practlc'
personal cleanliness in addition :
the regular soap and water clean
illness and greatly decrease hi
chances against diseases.
Again, the individual can 9
least sleep in fresh air at nigh
and can walk in it during tn
day. He can keep up bodily n
sistance by seeing that he gel
sufficient rest, exercise, an
that he never poisins his bod
with excessive eating, drinkin
or smoking or by any other for
of excess. Excesses are peculia
Y " destructive TO health.

Mr. Blackman is survived by
two daughters, Mrs. Merritt, of
Petersburg, Va, and Mrs. Wick
of Rocky Mount, N. c. His wife
died last March. Mr.. Blackman
had many friends in Rosemary
made during his long residence
there and his loss will be deeply
felt.
