WATCH OUT FOR "FAKEs"

Citizens of Oklahoma are being
warned by the state council of de-
fense against appeals being sent out
in chain letters for war contributions.
Some of them are all right, but a
large number of them are not. In
any case, contributions to the Red
Gross, the Y. NJ. C. A. and other SIM
ilarly well known organizations will
meet every need. In no case should
contributions be given to strangers.
A particular warning is being sent
out against foreigners who are solicit
ing for funds for the Armenians and
Turks, A campaign for funds for any
war purposes should have first the
Endorsement OF state and county coun-
ellis of defense.

The attention of the Home Guards
is called to the fact that tomorrow
night will be the last time that the
Guards will have the advantage of
being drilled by Capt. Steitz, as he
will have left with his company be-
fore the next drill night. Capt.
Steitz has been most kind in giving
instruction to the men, and they
greatly appreciate his efforts. Proof
of that appreciation ought to take
the form of a big attendance on the
occasion Of the last time he cen be
present. Moreover, there is some i'm

the Guards, and all should be on
hand to participate in it.

CAN REDUCE COST OF THE
INTESTINAL DISEASES GREATLY
State Board of Health Calls for Ex-
penditure of 81, 800, 900, to Bring
Down the Death Rate
Board of Health Bulletin)


Florida can materially reduce an
annual loss of $4,000, 900 from in
testinal diseases by the expenditure
of only $1,S00,000, for installation
of the l.. R. S. or any other ap-
proved odorless and fyless privy
The State Board Of Health is en-
deavoring to show the people of this
State wherein sudh an investment
will mean, mt only substantial
monetary saving, but the reduction
of the enormous annual death rate
from these causes.
1t is estimated that there are
$780, 900 surface closets in the State.
IA cost of approximately $40 each,
ii will require the sum of 1900, 900
tc install these l.. R. S. (septic
tank made with two barrels) or 9th
er suitable privy to eliminate doors
and flies, which are the princsipal
uAoCuoO Val dSCHCltS. HeSe
would cut down diseases now cost
ing over $4,O0O,OO0 a year to the
minimum. The annual death rate
from intestinal diseases is 1850. Es.
timating the annual sickness rate on
the basis of about one death out of
every ten cases of illness We find
that 1880 persons are afflicted
with these maladies every year. Doc
tors bills averaging $25 per patient
in these 1880 cases, would claim
another $437,500 Medicines at So
per patient would total sS7, 500.
Loss of time in 1880 cases, allow
ing an average of 80 days for each
person (even when 1t is a baby sick,
one or two other members of the
family have to devote attention to
II which makes the loss of time con-
siderable)) at 81 each is $525, 900
Considering the cost of each of the
1850 funerals following fatalities
from these diseases at s25, we find
an expenditure annually of s43.750

DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY

DeLand News: OF course the De.
Land young men who have recently
married and those who are to be
married soon, and also those who
would like to marry, need no lecture
OH Domestic Tranquility. There
fore this is intended for the other
fellow.
In order to maintain domestic
tranquility and tickle the honest
soul of your little wife, the husband
lcusi endeavor to appreciate her
daily household efforts and show it .
When she has the house clean and
cozy, don't scatter cigar ashes over
the library table, Morris chair and
carpets, and throw your papers in
every direction for her to gather up.
When you are in your room chang
ing clothing, don't throw one sock
out on the front porth, the other out
into the sitting room, and if you are
hot under the collar keep your shirt
on until YOU cool off, and then don {
hang it on the chandelier. Your
wife does not appreciate such evil
dences of thoughtlessness and might
rebel against such conduct. When
she hustles around in a hot kitchen
baking and boiling to please you, do
not criticise her if the mullins are a
little extra heavy and the beefsteak
not fried as you like. Don't tell her
every day about the good pies your
mother made or what lovely meals
you had down town. It isn't polite,
nor is it right. This reminds us of
OF a story our friend Mac" CAT
Allen's) told us a few days ago. A
tramp who came to a certain door
In this city asked for handout. The
lady of the house watching how the
hungry tramp relished the cake and
pie, said: you seem to enjoy my
baking and it never suits my hus-
band" The tramp replied, "Well,
why don't you get divorce and
marry me?" The constant grumbling
of some husbands is enough to drive
the wife to the bug, house or divorce
court.

l,'5O lives lost will average value
OF approximately $1,7O0 each or a
grand total liability of s2,975, 900.
by these estimates an annual loss
OF over s4,OO0,OOO has beer account
ed for without mentioning hook
worms and other intestinal parasites.
The State Board of Health,
Through corporations of its various
district health officers and it's other
methods Of communication with the
people, is endeavoring to bring home
TO the residents of Florida the en- Or
Nous waste they annually incur
through failure to observe the laws
OF sanitation, which call fer proper
preventative provisions against per-
petuation and increase of Intestinal
discases. Rather than devote all of
its efforts to fighting the disease
when it has erased hold of the vic.
tim, the Board would prevent its
spread by showing the people how to
wipe out its source. In this manner
Florida's enormously high death rate
from intestinal diseases can be re-
duced by beginning work at its very
inception.
