Saw Hot Fighting.
At this time hot fighting was in prog

for the possession of the city and the
Marines were landed while the battle
was IN progress as guard for the
American and other legations. From
May Is to June the Marines occupied
a.

rebels. The Americans were attacked
from ambush at many places along
the road and hardly a day passed
when it was not necessary to meet
attacks in force. At Laias, Alta Mira
and La Tunnel stiff resistance was
encountered, but the Marines ad-
vanced steadily. scattering their foes
and reaching Santiago July 6.
BY this time the backbone Of the
revolution had been broken, but it was
several weeks before the Americans
succeeded in rounding up small bands
OF guerrillas, who roamed about the

SPRING ToNlCS
More Molly-Coddles Die in Winter
Than in Summer

Come on out doors you may
like it," is the ADVICE, s0f the
State Board of Health in a recent
bulletin. More people die in
doors than out, Come on out, get
some good fresh oxygen, and
sunlight and live." To prove its
claims the Board points out that
tuberculosis in all its forms kills
between 49 and so percent more
people in North Carolina during
the shut in months of January,
February and March than the
open air outdoor months of July,
August and September. But the
old T. B. is only one of the dis
eases that gets the shut-ins, the
stowaways and the molly-coddles.
But" continues the Board,
the fear of catching something
is only a small consideration.
People who work and live out
doors are generally more health
full, live longer and get more and
better work done than the molly
Goodies. For instance, records of
tuberculosis children in open air
schools it is claimed, show more
rapid progress than the more
normal children in badly venti-
lated schools. Colleges usually
have two sets of athletic records,
one for indoor performances and
one for outdoor performances.
As general rule the outdoor
records are far better than the
corresponding indoor records.
"The old bogey about night
air. and damp air being un-
healthful is fast losing cast with
intelligent people. Night air is
really purer than day air and it
does not carry malaria save as it
carries mosquitoes. The danger
from damp air is also much over
worked. The damages wrought
by excessively dry air in our
living rooms, homes and stores
is doubtless far greater than that
from damp air. The essential
thing is to see that we get plenty
of the fresh outdoor air, twenty
four hours worth every day if
possible. Its the best spring tonic
yet discovered. Are you getting
yours?"

WHY NOT A HALF HOLIDAY!

Raleigh, N. c. March l, 1918.
War Gardens in North
Carolina last year saved
North Carolina consumers SIP,
000,0 to SIS, 1000 which
otherwise would have been spent
for food products imported into
the state from other sections
and, in the opinion of health
experts, saved tons of thousands
of dollars in doctors bills by i'm
proving the general health of the
people through the increased
variety in their diet.
More Gardens and Better
Gardens" is the motto for this
year, and with the forces of the
Food Administrator and the
Agricultural Extension service
behind the movement there
should be a further increase of
several million dollars in the
aggregate value of garden pro-
ducts.
State Food Administrator
Henry A. Page calls upon the
merchants of the cities and towns
of North Carolina to adopt early
in the season the policy of early
afternoon closing and at least
one half-holiday each week so as
to enable all employees to cult
vate gardens. A uniform policy
of early closing and of a half
holiday one or two days during
the week would not reduce the
quantity of goods sold in any
degree and would result not
only in an increased number of
production from gardens, but
would result in better health
and more efficient work by en-
ployees in such stores.
This policy was adopted in the
city of Raleigh and some other
cities and towns of the State last
year with wonderful results and
it is expected that il will become
a uniform and a universally
adopted practice throughout the
State this summer. Mr.. Page is
particularly anxious that it
should be adopted in the various
towns early enough to enable all
clerks and other employees to
prepare their gardens and have
them seeded as early as the
weather will permit.
Garden bulletins and plans
may be secured from the Agri-
cultural Extension Service at
Raleigh without cost.

WAR CAMP COM.
MUNITY SERVICE

Instituted by the Nationa
Council of Defense and backed
by the U. S. War and Navy
Departments, patriotic men and
women of the nation are uniting
in a campaign to raise funds for
War Camp Community Service.
The purpose of the War Camp
Community Service Fund is the
suppression of vice, the control
of alcoholics, the creating of a
homelike environment for our
soldiers and sailors, and the Sc
curing of a square deal for our
fighting men.
TO show the evils the War
Camp Community Service Fund
is being raised to avert, it isonly
necessary to state that in Camp
9 in England, populated by Can
adian soldiers, there are to-day
1000 soldiers who are dying,
rotting, of incurable venereal
diseases. "These men are now
under guard, behind barbed
wires. They went forth to fight.
Their mothers sent them gladly,
believing their sons were to face
a foe like men and serve their
flag like true soldiers,
These thousands of fine
young Canadians never have
seen the battle line, and they
never will be permitted to serve
as soldiers. They have been de-
stroyed by unbridled prostitution
and booze at work around mill
tary camps. They will never get
home".
The stitch in time is being
taken in America by those who
are waging the War Camp Com
munity Service Fund. In this
county, Mr.. Jno. l.. Patterson,
of Roanoke Rapids, is the direct
ing chairman of the campaign.
The quota asked of Halifax
county is $10O. 90, and all patriot
ic citizens of this county who
wish to aid in this most necessary
moral and social welfare work
for the protection of our boys
are asked to send their contribu-
tions to Mr.. Patterson or hand
them in at the Office of the HER
AID which will see that they
reach him promptly.
