NO SECRECY ABOUT
PREVENTABLE DISEASES

State Board of Heath Will Make Re-
ports of New Stale Law-People
Have Right to KNOW Where Dis
ease Exists
That there shall be no secrecy as
to preventable diseases that shall oc-
cur in the State from now on, partic-
ularly as to where they occur and in
what number, is the announcement
made by the State Board of Health.
The purpose is to aid the board in
its plan to reduce the number of pre-
ventable diseases in the State. The
information will be obtained through
the new State law requiring physic-
ians and householders to report cases
Of communicable diseases to the
county quarantine officers and the
latter to the State Board of Health.
This law went into effect August 1.
The first months reports show that
the law is already in active opera
ton.
1t is the opinion of the State Board
of Health that the presence Of any
contagious, preventable disease in a
town or community is matter of
vital interest to the public, that the
people have a right to know where
it exists, and that there is no rea-
son for suppressing such informa'
ton eff anything must be suppress

Society plays a great part in
school life. There are two strong
societies for the boys here, and we
don't know how many the girls do
have, yet. The boys all pull for
their society. Both have some of
the best mettle in Buies Creek. A
large crowd of new boys were ini-
tiated at the regular time Friday
night. Never killed the old goat,
though.
There is no railroad nearer than
four miles from here, but cars come
and go, little John Henries by the
score, and lots more go rafting ov-
er the hills and rocks like they do
in the level country of Robeson.
where near here for the purpose of
voting bonds for a railroad from
Coats to Goldsboro. We do not
| know yet how the election went, but
it is generally thought that the rail
road enthusiasts got it. 1t will be a
great help to this place.
Students keep coming in everyday
from most everywhere, even from
Cuba and far China. Robson leads
now in having the largest number

Say Embargo on Cotton Would Have
No Effect on Market

Establishment of an embargo on
cotton by the government was en-,
dorsed by Senators Hoke Smith and
Williams, speaking in the Senate
Thursday. Both declared such an
act would have no effect on the mar
ket.
The demand is much greater al
ready than the supply, said Senator
Smith, who declared the supply this
year will fall 100000 bales below
last years consumption, even If all
shipments of cotton to neutrals are
stopped. ,,,
The charge that an embargo should
be placed on cotton in order to pre-
vent it from reaching Germany to
be used in the manufacture Of ex.
| plosives was denied by Senator Smith
who declared that Germany mas ,,, no
used cotton for two years. VIVA
little has reached that country ha'

"HOOVERIZE'' BUT
DON'T STOP EATING
Buy and Eat Intelligently, Says
Board of Health

Board OF Health
Some people think that to "Hoov-
erie" or to conserve food is to cut
down on eating and to scrimp their
bill Of fare. The State Board of
Health says there are more intelli-
gent ways Of conserving food, which
if they are observed will conserve
health at the same time they con-
serve food. The board says:
"Chew your food well. Probably
the biggest waste of food in this
country grows out of hasty eating,
as half-chewed food is half digested,
and the other half is therefore vast
ed. DR.. Horace Fletcher, it is said
proved that a man could live on half
as much food if he chewed it we'll
as was required for him when he
gulped it down. Chew your food
thoroughly to taste and enjoy it
The gluttonous man who wished he
had neck mile long so that he
could taste his food all the Way
down did not know that thorough
chewing was what he wanted insteac
of a long neck.
"Eat all you want but know some
! thing of the nourishing value Of wha'
you eat, particularly of what you bu!
+, to eat. An inquiry by the Fedora
government not long ago brought ou
the fact that out Of every 500 spen
by $500 families Of moderate in
comes, that $23.85 were spent fo
meat alone. Only 63 cents wer
spent for rice and less than 80 cent
for cheese, both Of the latter bein'
excellent substitutes for meat. To
much meat eating is fault that al
most three-fourths of the pepole ca
correct, and thereby reduce their foo
bill. More milk, especially for chi
I dren, and fruits, nuts and vegetable
for grown people should be subst
tuted for meat. This will insure nc
only a smaller grocer's bill to pa
but a smaller doctors bill. Beside
it is a patriotic duty"

DIRTY DISHWASHING
DANGEROUS TO HEALTH
Noted lecturer Raps Housewives.

Says Average Home is Unsafe

Noted lecturer Raps Housewives
Soda Fountains and Restaurants@
Says Average Home is Unsafe
Dirty Dishwashing" was the sub
Jeet of one of the lectures of q not
ed dietitian, who didn't mind telling
even expert housewives of the dirty
practices that went on daily in their
kitchens. And she didn't stop with
the housewives and kitchens but ran
ped the soda fountains and the res
taurants to the health of the people
who patronized them. In a recent
lecture to would-be-cooks and observ-
ing housekeepers, she said:
The average home represented
here this morning is absolutely un-
safe as far as the cleanliness Of the
dishes is concerned. / dare saw that
many of them are positively danger
Gus. have been in MANY a well to
! do home and found that if the
housewife kept kitchen maid, that
she paid no attention whatever to
the way the dishes were washed. and
if she didn't keep a maid. She wash
ed them no better herself.
There seems to be an almost uni
versal belief that lukewarm water,
a little soap and any kind of an old
rag will clean dishes. People don't
seem to know that to actually clean
dishes, Particularly cups, glasses,
forks and spoons, Of dangerous
mouth secretions, which is the means
OF spreading most Of our contagious
diseases from tuberculosis to whoop-
ing cough, that it is necessary to
scald them. Some people for fear of
breaking their glasses never scald
them. They don't know that if wa
ter is poured on the outside and in
side at the same time, SO that the
glass expands EVENLY on both sides,
that there is no danger Of breaking
them.
Recently I helped a friend to wash
,, her dishes after she had given a
) party including sixty people: Sew
{ eral women in the crowd had colds,
! and part Of the gossip Of the after
noon was that two others had tuber-
culosis. All that my friend did was
. . to wash them through dirty, soapy
water and give them to me to dry in
y demonstrated with 'ner for not scald-
j ing CllCl4l, BIC SollCo d SIcuh.
q at is not only practicable but il
Z saves labor to have pan or pot Of
T boiling water in which to dip the
+ dishes, especially the cups, knives
forks and spoons, after they have
been washed. This saves drying then
y and leaves them clean and glisten
: ing, and is easily done by arranging
Q them in wire baskets.
II perhaps the worst of dangerous
e dirty dishes are those served you a
l. soda fountains and some quick lunc]
le counters. I heve never understood
y. why the government legislate
4 against the common drinking cup an
a. allowed soda fountains to serve on
az of dishes and spoons unsterilized.
De have watched many a counterma
l. wash spoons which he did by dippin
OF them in cold water and wiping ther
rs in a dirty towel hanging by his sid
10 or under the counter. But the publ
ar seems satisfied and tnat is why sue
e practices are allowed, I guess. It

POPULATION OF
PETROCRAD MUST
!. EVACUATE CITY
Russian Government Says
Measure Is Due More to
Food Shortage Than to DAN
ger of Capture by Enemy,


Petrograd, Sept. 9.-Authoritative
statements issued here dealing with
the loss of Riga, say that although
competent military authorities do not
regard Petrograd as endangered yet
the approach of the war zone to the
capital necessitates decisive measures
for the government of the city.
Therefore new administration will
be formed.
NJ. Nikitine, minister of posts and
telegraphs, who has been charged by
the government with the task ofspart-
ly evacuating the capital, in a state
hment explains the partial evacuation
is due to the problem of the food
supply rather than to military
menace. The only result of the Ger
man advance, he says, is further to
complicate the food question. He ad-
vlses that section of the population
not engaged in business leave the
city in patches, and promises every
facility for their departure.
1t is said that majority of the min
listers are against moving the govern
ment into the interior, first, because
they do not regard the capital as en-
dangered and second, because this
might cause an unreasonable panic.
In any case, it is said, the government

Washington, Sept. 9.--What pur-
ported to be an outline of Germany s
peace terms has been circulated
two weeks, but has been regarded by
the entente embassies and most of the
neutrals as a "feeler." The origin OF
the so-called terms was not disclosed
hut they are said to have been writ
ten by Foreign Secretary Won Kuhl-
man before his visit to Vienna, which
since has been pointed to as strength
ening the probability that they bear
evidences of authenticity.
Briefly the so-called terms were as
follows:
Restoration of Belgium and north
ern France, to be paid for out of the
sale of Germany's colonies to Great
Britain.
Alsace and Lorraine to be independ-
ent states (high French officials have
recently stated anew the determine
ton of France to be satisfied with
nothing less than the recovery of her
lost provinces).
Trieste to be ''free port"
Serbia and Rumania to be restored
and Serbia to have port on the Ad-
riatic.
The Balkan question and the status
of Turkey to be subjects for negotia-
ton.
Disarmament and international po-
lice.
