Central High will meet Steelton to-
morrow night. The game will be play
ed on FELTON, Hall floor, Steelton.

tet has lost its league leadership for

uonally large student delegation is
expected to accompany the team.

"TAKE A SHARP KNIFE AND
CUT THEIR EYES OUT" Is
NEWEST ADVICE ANENT WAR

ATLANTA, Ca, April 2S.-Speaking
of war atrocities, here is the latest
advice to the women of the land:
Take a sharp knife and cut out
their eyes"
This sounds horrible, indeed, but the
advice does not mean that housewives
are to aid their country by cutting out
the eyes of any Germans who might
happen to cross the Atlantic and at
tempt an invasion. 1t has reference
merely to the harmless potato.
Somebody has shown that when pota-
toes are being prepared for the meal,
if the housewife or cook will simply
take a knife, before peeling them, and
cut the eyes out, they are all that are
needed to plant a crop of "spuls" in the
backyard.

WOODMEN OF THE WORLD
TO MEET IN JULY IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, April 2S.-The total
number of Woodmen of the World in
good standing last year was 1921, the
increase in membership in 1916 hav-
ing been 1899, and while Atlanta
doesn't expect to attempt the enter
tainment of the entire order during
the Sovereign camp convention next
July, it will nevertheless be host to
quite a large section thereof.
Plans are being made by the COM
mittees OF the Atlanta camps of Wood
men for handling the largest assem-
blage that was ever gathered here By
any convention, not even excepting the
great Shrine convention in 1914. which
is still delightfully."- remembered.
From forty to fifty thousand Wood
men will be here for the Sovereign
camp convention, and will be enter
tanned on a lavish scale.

NEGROES TO BE ASKED TO
HELP RAISE MORE FOOD CROPS

ATLANTA, Ca, April 2S.-Negro
farmers in Georgia can do their bit to
help their country and to feed them
selves. by planting at least enough
food crops to feed themselves and their
live stock, and by raising at least a
few pigs, enough chickens to supply
themselves with eggs, and keeping a
cow for butter and milk.
Realizing that the food shortage sit
ration applies as we'll to the negro as
to the white man, and that the negro
as well as the white man, must pre-
pace to face the situation by planting
food crops, number of prominent cit
liens over the state have suggested
the calling of state food conference
especially for the negroes.
The plan is being considered by the
state food council, of which ]. ].
Brown, commissioner of agriculture, is
chairman, and whether a conference
for negroes is called or not, the coun-
Gil will certainly inaugurate special
plans for increased food crop produc-
ton by negro farmers.

MELON INDUSTRY

The increasing acreage planted in
watermelons in the vicinity of Plains is

Vhe citizen and the Public Health

The Citizen and the Public Health
There are few things of SO great i'm .
portance to the individual as his
health. Upon it depends largely his
attitude toward life and his relation
ship to his fellowman.
The individual chronically poisoned
by malaria, or by hook worm injection
finds his daily work burdensome and
the fruits of his labor give but little
pleasure. The consumptive would
gladly exchange his bank account for
his physical health. Who would not
give his material wealth, if by so doing
he could bring back loved ones lost
prematurely by preventable disease?
The health of the community should
be of interest to every individual, for
upon it depends the welfare of him
self, of his family and of his fellow
citizens-upon the health of the COM
munity depends its happiness and pros
perity
Health is a valuable asset to any
locality. 1t insures prosperity and at
tracts people. 1t increases the value
of real estate. Many letters are receiv-
ed daily at the Public Health Bureau
in Washington from people who are
contemplating buying lands or moving
from one state to another, asking
about the health conditions of certain
localities. They want to know if
there is malaria, much typhoid fever
or tuberculosis and whether there is q
pure water supply. People are think
ing these days of their physical well
fare and have no desire to live in To-
calities where insufficient attention is
given to the prevention of disease.
Necessary as are our courts, our
fire and police departments, and our
educational systems, the Importance
OF the community's attention to the
citizens health is second to none.
In the complex life of modern civil
ization we are brought into frequent
contact with our fellow man. Every
case of communicable disease is di-
rectly or indirectly a menace to very
person in the community. Unsanitary
conditions in one home may affect
other homes. Unsanitary dairies. bak-
cries, markets, barber shops, school
buildings, ETC., may affect the health

ATLANTA UNMARRIED CLUBMEN

The reason why Catarrh cannot
be cured by local applications OF

tiny Catarrh germs which find lodg-

the trouble. an6 not the disease H.
self. The germs make their attack

because here they md the least re-
sistance, and hence they can easily
set up their work of destroying tie
