Keep Your Fellow Man
At A Safe Distance

Richmond, Va, Nov. 29.-LetI
us have no truce with the SPAN
ish "flu"-the scourge that has
exacted a greater toll oflife than
our war with the Huns. It can
not be trusted, especially at this
season. for it is a cold weather.
disease. Even now it is raging
in some sections of the country,
and in more than one instance it
has returned in malignant form
to communities which thought
they were rid of it. Reports to
the State Board of Health from
many parts of Virginia show
that doctors are still busy with
patients suffering with the grip.
Several districts have closed
their schools second time.
All told, perhaps thirty per
cent of those in this State have
had the FLU" in one form or
another. The other sixty per
cent had better watch their
STEP" Some may be immune,
but the great majority have nc

hit.
The germs which cause influ.

cause whooping cough, scarlet
fever, diphtheria. tuberculosis
colds, pneumonia and other spray
borne diseases, live in the moutl
and nose secretions of people
Fortunately they are slIort-lived
and therefore can be avoided, Ii
a world they may be rendered
harmless by careful avoidance
of that all-too-common "spi

coughing or sneezing at clos

How Three Farm
BOYS Weakened Father

One of the outstanding results
of boys agricultural club work
in Tennessee has shown its effect
upon the parents of the mem.
bers. Three sons of a Madison
County farmer joined the corn
club last year. One son produc.
ed IA bushels on his acre, anoth-
er 139 bushels, and the third l2O
bushels, the profit from the three
acres being S464.64. This dem.
onstration Weakened the father to
the opportunities at his very
door. He has pulled out of the
rut, adopted progressive ideas.
and has become a ''live wire"
and a recognized lea der in his
neigh5orhood.

Sugar Certification
Plan Discontinued

The State Food Administra
ton announces that, beginning
December first the sugar certifi-
eating plan will be discontinued
provided consumers, manufac-
turers, and dealers limit their
purchases to their sonable re-
quirements for thirty days. On
January thirty.first this thirty
days restriction will be autonat.
ically cancelled.
Under the above ruling, a
reasonable requirement for do
nestle consumption is held to be
four pounds per person per
month for public eating places
four pounds for each ninety meals
served.
While this action of the Food
Administration stops the issu-
ance of sugar certificates for
merchants, wholesale and retail,
it does not. however, change the
coming restrictions as fixed by
the Sugar Division, nor does it
effect the prices OF sugar.
In order that the purchases
and sales of sugar for December
may show proper relationship
10 the November records, mer-
chants should keep the same re-
cords for this month as for the
past month. No person should
be allowed more than his proper
allotment. and in every purchase
of sugar the signature of the pur-
chaser should be obtained.
The only changes from the
former method of handling are {:
flrst, the merchant can buy a
reasonable thirty-days supply
certificates ; second, the
is allowed four, instead
Of three pounds of sugar per per-
SON per month.

THE ViCIORY--THE COST.

Inc VII nc lUSl.
The news of the great victory
thrilled the hearts of the people
of the United States. While it
was expected, it came sooner
than was expected, a fact which
added zest to the enjoyment of
the people, when the church
bells, usually used only to call
the people to worship, rang out
the glad tidings of great JOY.
Professions were formed, made
up of gaily bedecked cars, upon
which rode beaut full young
ladies, automobiles decorated for
the occasion and the tramp of
cadets, old men and little chill
dren, the Inspiring music Of the
bands and the rejoicing public
In some homes, in marked con-
trast there was anxiety depicted.
They were walting-waltlng
for news from their son, or their
husband, or their father, who
they knew had been in the terri

since they had closely scanned

which had announced that he was

Ordinarily waiting is accom-
panied by Impotence and some
times by irritation but in this
case, il was accompanied by a
great struggle between hope and
dispair. and how often did the
mothers most earnest prayer as
cend to the Giver of great gifts
pleading for the return Of her
darling boy, and all she could do
was to wait, only wait until
another letter would announce
his safety, or an official telegram m,
his death.
In this worlds war there were
many losses, but as county we
have reason to be grateful and
thank God that it was no worse.
After the rafting of hundreds,
the long training in camps. the
anxious waiting in the trenches
where the deadly shrapnel and
tie poisonous gases did their
work, the going over the top and
the furious charge upon machine

In the war be- ween the States
about the first OF July, 1861, five
cmpanies from Shenandoah

companies, in a camp near VIM

They were unframed soldiers,
but on the 21st of July, three
weeks later, they met the enemy
with such gallantrv that General
Jackson said 1.-The work Colonel

was worth the loss Of the entire

killed and sixteen wounded and
this was not greater than the
