If You Don't Need Il, ADVERTISE Il and
SeA Il to Somebody Who Does!

N EANf of us are such creatures of habit
Wl that we store away something Of use use,
useful 10 US, on the theory that sometime
II may come in handy
In these times, when useful things are IN
special demand, and the production of COM
modities is necessarily Curtailed, there is a
real market for USED ARTICLES.
What article of value are you storing
away for possible-but not probable-future
use?
Would it not be advisable to advertise 1t,
and sell it for cash, to somebody to whom
IL would be imme ediately valuable?
You may not particularly need" the
money it would bring to you. But you
could USE THAT MONEY to better advan-
page now than at any previous time of your
life. You could use it to buy war securities
and every dollar of it would thus be en-
listed in the great fight for the freedom of
mankind. .
Do you not feel that such an additional
investment ON your part -. over and above
the amount YOU can AFFORD to expend ont
of your regular income-wouid be of real
service to your country and your cause?
For it is your cause just as surely as this
IS your country!

Finals at Maxton Colored Graded
School.

Correspondence of The Robesonian.
Maxton, April 25.-We wish to
mention to the public the splendid
commencement CT the Maxton colored
graded school, beginning on Thurs
day evening with the primary depart
ment Immediately after the pro-
gram Of the evening the principal
N. w. Lennon, asked that some one
would respond with remarks of en-
couragement to the children. With
out hesitation the Rev. DIR. Pascal,
pastor of the M. E. church, came to
the front. Dr. Pascal's talk was rot
only encouraging to the children, but
to the entire people. He spoke chief
ly upon the fundamental principles of
school qualifications.
Friday, as was announced on ac-
count of the rainy day the annual
address was delayed until after the
night program Nothing was more
pleasing than to hear the introduction
of DR.. G. w. Watkins, who delivered
the annual address. DR.. Watkins ad-
dress was so impressive that a single
whisper could not be heard. His
theme was based upon the great nee
essities of an education, because Of
the present and the future demands
of life The climax of DR.. Watkins
speech ended in the great world war
He encouraged every one to do his bit
towards helping to win in this great
struggle The entire program was
marked with success. Each night the
auditorium was packed to it's utmost,

SHOWS VALUE OF
MEDICAL INSPECTION
Chronic Case of Appendicitis in Gas.
ton County Found and Cured. \
State Board of Health Bulletin.

State Board of Health Bulletin.
A bright thirteen year old boy of
CASTOR county is now we'll and strong
as a result of the medical inspection
of schools in that county instead of
continuing under the handicap of an
illness that was constantly breaking
down his vitality.
On the twentieth of last November
a teacher in one of the county schools,
in making a preliminary physical ex-
animation of this boy, as required un-
discovered tina tthe little fellow had
frequent attacks Of some illness that
kept him out of school much Of the
to DR.. L. N. Glenn, the CASTOR county
medical inspector, who gave the boy a
thorough examination on December
twelfth. DR.. Glenn found him to be
suffering with chronic case of ap-
pendicitis Of two years standing. .
An operation was recommended.
The father, worker in one of the
cotton mills, agreed, and on DeceDl-
UCI Ii Vic OpCld was PSIAoA 'lOu
The surgeon removed an abscesseG
appendix, and recovery was rapid.
During the four months which have
elapsed since, the boy has grown
rapidly in height and added weight
steadily. Moreover, he has been able
to keep in school, and is now a well
happy and normal child. This j!
only single instance of many al
ready noted in which the Statewide
medical inspection law is proving it,
usefulness in saving life and better
| ing the condition of the children.

PROPER DIET IS
PELLAGRA PREVENTATIVE
Deficiency of Fresh Milk and Meats
Sole Cause of Dreaded Disease.
State Board of Health Bulletin.

State Board of Health Bulletin.
That pellagra is primarily matter
of diet is the conclusion reached by
DR.. Joseph Goldberger, Of the United
States Public Health Service, Wash
ington, D. c., who has spent several
years in an intensive study of this
disease. The results of his observa-
ton and study were presented in a
paper read before the annual melting
of the North Carolina Medical society
recently at Pinehurst.
Pellagra may be prevented and may
be cured by proper attention to food,
and even the most advanced cases
have yielded when the patients were
placed on a balanced diet. The pre-
valence of the disease in the Southern
States has been materially checked,
and will shortly be entirely under con-
troll, is the statement of DR.. Gold
berger.
The lack of either fresh milk or
buttermilk, and sufficient lean meats
in the diet is given as the cause of
the physical condition that renders the
development Of pellagra possible. In
the thousands Of cases examined by
the officers of the United States Pub
lie Health Service without exception
those afflicted were accustomed to
living on diet that did not contain
these important elements. In every
case treated when these deficiencies
were supplied marked improvements
at once followed, and cures resulted
AS result of the studies made by
DR.. Goldberger corn bread and the
Southern climate are both absolved
as factors in the cause of pellagra. II
has occurred in widely varying eli.
mates, and should no longer be known
as the "cern bread disease"

Warren Re Elected Chairman
Seek to Defer Constitutional
Convention.

The State Democratic executive
committee in session at Raleigh We'd
nesday night unanimously reelected
Thomas D. Warren of New Bern as
it's chairman for the coming cam
paign. this being his fourth term.
The chairman was authorized to Sc
lect secretary to succeed ]. R. Col
lie, of Louisburg, who, because of
his position as State prison warden
finds himself unable to serve longer
as secretary.
The committee gave considerable
attention to the matter of the pro-
posed constitutional convention which
according to what is known rs the
Stubs act, was passed at the last
session of the Legislature calling fol
a vote at the next general election
on the question of calling a conven.
tion for revising the State corstitu
ton. A ]. Maxwell offered resolu
| tion placing the committee on record
as opposed to the proposed conven
ton at this time, but this was ro
acted uNcn. However, on motion ..
A. D. Watts, special committee wa:
named to see if some arrangement
cannot be made between the partie
so IS to prevent the matter belns
voted upon at the coming election, i
tein@ realized that the question
stands every chance of meeting a
overwhelming defeat owing to de
sire of the people to leave all suc]
matters alone during the war.

Soldiers, Business Aid COMMITTEE
Renders Services Free.
To the Editor Of The Robesonlan:

To the Editor of The Robesonlan:
Chairman Hill of the North Caro-
lima Council of Defense has called my
attention to the following circular:
"The Secretary Of the Treasury mas
recently condemned certain clam
agents and other persons who have
charged and received compensation
for services to beneficiaries under the
War Risk Insurance law. The war
and Navy Departments and the Coun-
ell of National Defense also regard
this practice us unpatriotic.
nThe Council of National Defense
further urges upon the State councils
the desirability of providing, through
the legal committees, voluntary aid
for the dependents of men in the SER
vice in collecting allotments Of pay
and family allowances, arrears Of pay,
extra pay, travel pay and other mon
eys due the estates of deceased SOL
d;ers and sailors. Finally, the State
councils of defense should endeavor
to secure the hearty cooperation o.
tkei-rown local legal committees and
sM other organizations which are TN
dsn'taking to supply free service to
soldfnsrs and sailors and their depend
ents.
"AIlotments and allowances under
the War Risk Insurance law are
paid directly by the Treasury De,
p0rtnent to the persons entitled
thereto; claims for insurance, taken
out under the law should be address
ed to Bureau Of War Risk Insurance
TREASURY Department, Washington, D.
C.: claims for arrears OF pay, extra
nav and travel pay for deceased sol
Giers and sailors and all other claims
should be addressed to Auditor OF

STORIES FROM
BATTLE FRONT
Two American Rescued From q Dug
out-Americans Outnumbered
to l in Some Instances.

Two American soldiers who were
wounded in the engagement around
Seicheprey on April 20 were found
alive on the 25th in a dugout in No
Mans Land The dugout had been
badly smashed by German shell fire
and that the men managed to keep
alive in the rain and mud and under
continuous German bombar lment
seems miraculous. Another soldier
from New Haven, Conn.,, was buried
alive for days when he crawled to
the surface and was found by Amer
lean Red Cross stretcher bearers.
The American troops in the Seich-
eprey fight, additional tails show
were outnumbered, in some instances
to l.
Edward Jacques, New Haven boy
told the correspondent of $50 Ameri-
cans who at one time were almost
surrounded by at least 800 Germans
French troops came to their assist
ance.
Sergeant John A. Dickman, former.
| ly printer of Somerville, Mass, anC
who is now wounded in a hospital
told a remarkable story. He and his
men had charge of two Stokes guns
They were isolated for IL minutes il
an enemy barrage and were unable
to signal the American lines. Dick
man was wounded, but kept pouring
a hot fire in the German attacking
waves and broke up the formation
He and his men retired only whel
their guns became jammed.
"Machine Gun" Parker, who mann
ed a gun by himself, was asked b.
his superior officer at one stage of tfv
engagement, whether he could hol'
the line. He replied that he could
unless killed and he did.
Father William j. Farrell, of Wes
Newton, Mass, regimental chap
lain, proved such good fighter tina
a high officer offered him commits
sion in his command. Father Farrel
went to the assistance of batter
when four of the American gunner
were killed, carried up amnunitio
and helped the crew to keep the gu
working. He was wounded slightly
Raymond Connor, Of New Haver
a sanitary squad runner, was anothe
hero. He was one of eight men cap
tured by the Germans who escape
and went to Seicheprey. They too
charge of the first aid station ther
until a doctor arrived. Connor the
went to the rear and organized ne'
squad, returned to the front and wa
wounded.
