Those who keep the files of The Sun during the days of the great war, will have valuable local infor- nation as to the things that Flag staff and her people did during the dark days, which they may refer to in years to come. The old letters written home from our boys back in '9S are interesting reading now what will be the heart interest in the "home letters" and "The Sol diers' Column" in years to come. File them away for a record of events in after years.

ROANOKE AVENUE
TO BE IMPROVED
Road Work on Avenue Done by County
to be Continued Through from Soulll-
ern Limits to Canal Bridge
CITIZENS SUBSCRIBE COST

Due to the efforts of Mayor J,
I. Chase, the road work being
done by the County on that part
of the Avenue from Roanoke
junction to he limits of the town
of Roanoke Rapids on the south
will be continued through the
town, certainly to First Street
and very probably to the canal
bridge.
Mr.. Chase has been working
on the proposition for several
days, soliciting subscriptions from
business houses and individuals
|who own cars to cover the .prin-
|cipal part Of the cost The town
'of Roanoke Rapids, through its
Board of Commissioners voted
$500. 90 for this purpose and Mr..
Chase has secured subscriptions
amounting to something over
$4,000 from citizens Of the
town. The work to First Street
will cost $l400. 90.
The need of having Roanoke
Avenue reworked through thecity
limits is so generally felt that
have been practically
unanimous and more money has
been pledged than was at first
thought possible. Very few peo-
Pile approached have refused to
aid.
The work will consist Of putting
down a gravel surfaced road
twenty feet wide from the south
arn limits to Third Street, reshap-
ng and rolling a forty foot road
way from Third to Second Street,
and putting down a gravel surac-
ed roadway forty feet wide from
Second to First Street.

MENACE TO HEALTH
IN SODA FOUNTAINS
Communicable Diseases Spread Through
the Use Of Soda Fountain Glass
That is Not Cleaned

The common drinking cup OF
the trains has gone, never to re-
turn, but the common drinking
glass remains in most of the soda
fountains in North Carolina as a
constant menace to the health OF
each community. AS the warm
days of summer come soda foun.
tains will be patronized by an in
creasingly larger number of peo-
pie, and with a proportionately in
creasing menace to the public
health.
An examination under the
microscope of one carelessly wash
ed soda water glass has shown
in the invisible coating which
covered it both inside and outside
more than 20, 600 human cells and
bits OF skin. Clinging to a
single one of these cells there
were counted $50 germs. The
total germ population of the glass
was estimated at 100000, rep
resenting a dozen seriousdiseases.
The glasses at the average soda
fountain do not receive a real
cleaning. They are given a lick
and promise. " Yet the foun-
tains serve indiscriminately all
who stand before them, and the
same glass passes from lip to lip
throught the day. tuberculosis,
diphtheria, whooping cough,
venereal diseases, infantile para
lysis, and many.othercommunica-
bic diseases can easily be spread
through this medium.
The soda fountains in and near
the training camps have been
placed under the strictest sort of
regulations for the protection Of
the health of thesoldiers in train
ing. Strict rules provide for the
sterilization of the glasses, or, in
lieu of sterilization, the provision
)f individual paper containers.
Either method is safe and mex
pensive.
The leading fountains in sever
Al of the cities of North Carolina
have adopted the individual paper
All will do so, or else
provide a method of sterilization,
when their patrons demand it.
