TO PROMOTE STATES HEALTH.
Meeting In Columbia to BE Held on
Thursday, August 1st.

Columbia. July 16.-Special: Pres
ervation' of public health is at all
times one Of the greatest Of social and
economic problems. At this time it
IS also war emergency problem.
Ihe great duty resting on every
American citizen to-day Is to devote
every possible ounce of his energy
and effort toward the winning of the
war. Death and disease are the
greatest neutralizers Of effort. A sick
baby, case of malaria or typhoid
practically paralyzes the energies of
the entire family until the disease
mas run its course, and the expenses
nave to be paid and those who have
Done the nursing must rest.
Very many of the most active and
Intelligent physicians of the State
have volunteered for war service,
and there is evidence that in some
sections Of the State there are now
TOO few lest to properly look after
the health Of the people. Others Of
our physicians will be called into SER
vice at an early date, which will
make the situation very much more
acute. Under these conditions it
would seem that nothing can be of
more Importance than to give the
people the elementary knowledge of
now to avoid preventable diseases,
and of how to protect child life both
before and after birth.
The Council Of Defense at its last
meeting decided to put on a State
wide campaign Of education for pub
TIC health. During the past few
weeks our officers have been busy
working out with the State Board Of
Health the plans for this campaign.
1T has been decided to hold an insti-
tute here in Columbia on August 1
and 2, to which will be invited many
teachers. college professors, minis
ters, public speakers and others. The
institute will be conducted by the fol-
lowing experts appointed by the State
Board of Health:
DR.. E. A. Hines-Child Welfare.
DR.. Ernest Cooper-Tuberculo
DR.. Jas A. Hayne-Malaria.
Capt. Frebch Simpson-Dysentery
and Typhoid,
Capt. C. V. Akin-Venerea Dis
eases.
Thorough but non-technical in
struction will be given the workers,
who will then return home and en-
deavor to reach the entire citizenship
of the State through meetings held
between August Sd and 18th in every
school district in the State.
A special effort will be made to
reach town and county officials and
impress upon them the Importance
OF maintaining and adequately sup
porting organizations to look after
the public health in every town and
county in the State.
The council believes that this cam
paign will present very great op-
portnnity for service, and that many
Intelligent and patriotic men and
women will readily volunteer their
time and efforts. We invite all who
feel qualified for this service to COM
municate with us at our office in Co.
iumbia, stating their qualifications
and naming the counties they would
prefer to operate in. ID. r. Coker,
Chairman State Council Of Defense.

LABOR.SAVING MACHINERY
Will Prove Salvation of Country, So
luton OF Grave Problem

Editor Keowee Courier: The
great world war is bringing new con-
ditions to be met by the farmers Of
the country. Labor Is very hard to
get at a price that the farmer Is JUS
titled in paying, and even at the in
creased price ii is not available,
The world is in need of everything
That can be grown on the farm, and
we cannot afford to decrease produc-
tion. That would mean disaster. We
must produce more, and with the man
power Of the country being taken
away in a steady stream, the question
naturally arises, what is going to be
done? How will we increase the
man-power Of those who are left to
till the soil? This is very serious
question with the farmers--and not
only with the farmers, but with 9TH
ers as well--and it is the business OF
every man to help in any way posi-
BILE to solve the problem, which does
not stop at the farm, but affects the
towns and cities also.
Now, Mr.. Editor, | am not adyer-
tising anybody's machinery and have
no such machinery to offer for sale;
but there will be demonstratoin of
all kinds of traction engines and
farm machinery at Greenwood, be-
ginning July 81 and lasting for three
days. At this time (and without
cost to the farmers, except for rail
road fare and board) will be demon
strated all makes Of tractors for
both light and heavy work; also
plows and cultivators with which to
cultivate the crops. You may not
want tractor, but you could have
an opportunity of seeing what kind
of cultivator would possibly aid
you In doubling up in the saving of
labor and enable you to do as much
work as you and your son or as you
and your hired man did before they
were called into the service of our
great country. 1t seems to me that
we must do something to meet the
drain on the man-power of the coun-
try. We cannot afford to do less than
we are now doing, and the question
is, is there anything we can get that
Will meet the increased demand for
stuff that must be made with de-
creased labor supply?
| wish to again state that | have
nothing Of this sort to sell and am
not "boosting" any special machine.
But l am going over to Greenwood
that may more intelligently decide
what | can best do to assist in the
making of larger crops with less la
Dor or fewer men.
1t seems to me that it would be a
good plan for each community to
send one or two men to this exhibit
ton, and the towns would do we'll to
think the matter over.
Remember that July 81 is the day
for the demonstration.
