Mrs att B. Leeds Of Avery
Island who has always been ac-
tive in all work for public or
private good, has received from
r. NJ. Thompson, President Of the
Navy League Of the United States
an interesting letter with other
documents telling of the purpose
of the League at this especial
crisis. 1t claims that women and
children can each do something
for the upholding Of our gallant
sailor boys, who, as the good book
says eco down into the sea in
ships with torpedoes lining the
waters, that expression seems
very realistic. Our beautiful
Teche land is not very far from
the coast. Can not we take up
this matter with patriotic enthus-
iasm and send a goodly number
of members to the League? The
annual dues are $500, and in
cluded in the $500 is a fine mag
azine called the "Sea Power.
Being a member of. the Navy
League, you will be in touch with
the good work, and your mind
and heart will expand, feeling
that you are helping your coun-
try and her brave defenders. Do
not be troubled, because You can
not do great things. God made
a million spears of grass where
he made one tree. The earth is
fringed and carpeted not with
forests, but with grasses, only do
all you can, and you need not re-
greet because you are neither
hero or a saint. At this critical
period in our countries history
everybody's patriotism is or
should be thoroughly aroused. We

lnquent househoders TO clean up their premises or
to have employees OF the board do that carry

ample power to pursue that course

and decency be undertaken il Will merit and should
have the moral support Of the public and the courts

right to maintain in this community nuisance which
impcrils the health OF its people
II is admitted fact that the wiping out Of pro

would pay the interest the largest war debt through
the saving in life and the increase in efficiency.
Every State the Union will need its full strength

must have its maximum efficiency. To have this it
must keep in good health.

to communicable disease during the coming year
Vaccination aud proper sewage disposal give a high
degree OF immunity against typhoid fever
Prudent eating reduces the danger OF intestinal com

Fresh air and rest coupled with the exercise OF
little common sense, will give the average person pro-
lection against tuberculosis
The killing OF flies and mosquitoes and the emina-

Needless exposure to the infectious dis

BOOK VOLUNTEERED?
From the New York Sun
All OF us pay taxes. We pay a tax
when we buy a cigar, a drink, a bit
of imported cloth, or pay the rent.
We pay taxes directly and indirectly
every year Of our lives. In peace our
money is conscripted in the public
service; in war the toll is heavier, but
of the same nature. All of us believe
in pocketbook conscription. But war
offers the pocketbook a unique chance
to volunteer.
There is a thrill about volunteers
ing that comes from a sense OF doing
something more than demanded duty.
No man or woman ever got such a
thrill from doing merely what he was
called upon 10 do
The pocketbook nerve is the acut-
est We have. It's especial sensitive
ness sometimes shames us. This very
acuteness can be utilized to give us
the sharpest pleasure. II you have

You don't have TO give it all at
once. You can renew the fine con-
seriousness OF having done something
more than your duty month after

A DANGER AND ITS REMEDY.
From, the Dover Republican.
The State OF Delaware undoubted-

insect pests.
The low lands and swamps and
numerous water ways and blind pools

millions of flies and mosquitoes and
gnats.

drain the swamps, and the road build
ers are helping greatly in reducing
the number of stagnant pools; but

A TEN.YHAR.OLn HERO.

THIS is editorial about 1O-yearold boy who
has medal for bravery.
This boy is Michael Ravolefe and he lives in East
Hartford. Conn His act is worthy OF emulation in
precise detail, by Delaware boys
Little Michael a robin hanging by a leg high in
a tree. The bird had carried a piece Of string up to
in nest building Wind had tangled it about leg
and for two days the little harbnger OF Spring had
been held a swinging prisoner.
Michael climbed rs feet and released the robin.
This a great thing for little boy to do. II is
refreshing read OF such fine bit OF youthful courage
in these days of frightfulness
It is good, also, to read that the president Of the
humane society thought the deed worthy Of a medal
It is such mingled courage and mercy in youth that
makes brave true men. Michael will be a credit to
America.
