lished by the state board al a number
OF points which were in dire distress
have been closed. and the third and
fourth year medical students who did
such fine work have all returned to
their studies. They came back rich
in experience and with the satisfac-
ton OF having unselfishlv and coura-
geously rendered services whose
value could hardly he overcstimated.
A few calls for help and advice are
still coming in. but they represent To-
cal conditions and are about what
might be expected. 1t has been nee
! essary. for example. to send n repre-
: sentative of the state board to the
southern part Of Brunswick county,
where one of the two physicians in
the Valentine neirhborhood has died
of Influenza. n the other is III OF the
disease. This community, which is
thickly settled. was -vithoue a doctor
until help came from Richmond.
IT is possible that many people
have grown weary of the injunction
Avoid crowds" but the warning still
holds good and there is abundant
proof hat 1t pays to follow this pre-
caution.
When the "flu'' first began to man

state board sent a doctor to the min

he might anticipate the disease with
wise advice. Some needed his advice

that a. great throng of inter thng pur-

physical contact This situation was
quickly met by making all n out-
siders stand ten feet apart.
Maybe 1t all seemed foolish to the
incredulous. but the sequel certainly
should have been convincing. AS "A
result of the precautions. this partic-

no grippe among i1s employees, Or

With one heart, with one voice loyal everywhere should say: Thou, too, sail on, O Ship of State; Sail on, O Union. strong and great, Humanity with all its fears, With all it's hopes of future years, Is hanging breathless on thy fate.

 What anvils rang, what hammers beat; In what a forge and what a heat, Were shaped the anchors of thy hope, Fear not each sudden sound and shock 'Tis of the wave and not the rock; 'Tis but the Tapping of the sail, And not a rent made by the gale, In spite of rock and tempests roar In spite of false lights on the shore, Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea.

WINNING THE WAR
 SUBJECT IF SERMON
 BY RAY |. HARKER

"Winning the War was the sub ject of a most interesting sermon by Rev. Ray Clarkson Harker at the First Methodist Episcopal church last evening. And Rev. Harker made it the occasion to present to his congre gation the fact that as far back as the days of Ezekiel the subject of war bread" was being given serious consideration. Incidentally, the sermon took on the form of d strong plea for conservation as the watchword in these stirring times.
 Rev. Harker said:
 Ezekiel 4: g Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof"
 Twenty four hundred years ago the prophet Ezekiel told of a siege of Jeru- salem when it would be necessary to make kind of war bread that seems rather familiar to us at this present hour.
 We are engaged in the most colossal struggle of the ages and I want to speak to you tonight upon Winning the War. | Conservation is the watchword now Let us consider first the conservation Of food. Do we fully realize the neet of this? We consume 90 pounds O. | sugar per person in the United State' per year. In England the ration Is 2 pounds per person per year. Candies and sweets are forbidden in Italy. Pub | lie eating places in France are forbid den to serve sugar. The expenditur for candy alone in United States i S200, ,000,0
