Editorial

Everybody is decrying the fact
that the young or middle
aged men and women are
the ones suffering most from
the epidemic of influenza.
This fact, though, can be al
tered if the young people
will do their part.
Because they are in the prime
of life they feel that they
can stand most anything.
When first symptoms of
the illness appear, they
- think they can flight it or
result, the attack is great
ly aggravated. Or, if they
do go to bed, they get up
as soon as they feel a bit
better with serious and
sometimes fatal results.
The best plan is to 90 to bed
upon the first appearance Of
even a. bad cold and stay
there two or three davs
after you are apparently
well. The death rate can be
cut to almost nothing if YOU
will only BE CAREFUL.

Scotty Has Done
His Part
Are YOU doing yours?

y
Scotty was only fifteen years old when war came
to America, but he held up his right hand, husky,
far-haired youngSter from Brookline, Mass He was
young he never did have chance to use that shiny
of his and they had to appoint the supply SER
geant his guardian to see that he wrote home reg
uarly to his folks.
He spent his sixteenth birthday in the training
area of France. He knew later the cold mud of the
Lorraine trenches.
He was proud because the general called his
battalion the "Iron Battalion" and because his COM
pany was known as the Indians"
At Seicheprey the Indians found that nothing
could rattle him and that he did not know fear They
found too, that in all the regiment none could
handle "sho-sho" gun quite so well as the regi-
mentS youngSter Older soldiers were glad to serve
as his feeders because they knew that no gun in all
the line would fire as true as therS-with Scotty at
the sights.
But his greatest day was his last. 1t was one
afternoon in that historic July week when his regi-
ment chased the Germans from the Marns to the
Oucq and there fell to Scotty the chance to lie down
with his beloved "sho-Sho" gun at the head of
leafy, woodland path and see that not German
passed it alive Not one did, though thirty died in
trying before SniperS bullet found Scotty'S heart
Now as the Indians tell their tales of Scotty
their lips form this for his eptaph:
''He was good kid and he died on his gum"
Scotty has done his part

UNFAIR TO THE DRUGGISTS.

The druggists. have not been treated
properly by the United States govern.
ment in a military way, and they are
entitled to more recognition and, al
least, to equal, simple justice.
Doctors, dentists, even transporta'
ton men, when entering the army ser,
vice, are commissioned Some rank
as high as majors. None are less than
second lieutenants.
But druggist is still druggist, q
private, without rank or adequate com
pensation.
Even the armies of Bulgaria and
Turkey commission their druggists
whose services are indispensable al
every camp and with the armies at
the front All of the European nations
commission the druggists.
Somehow or other the United States
has overlooked the druggists, and as q
result there has been a slow response
to the appeal for pharmacists to vol
unteer
At present there is in progress some
agitation in favor of giving commits
sions to pharmacists, upon proper eX-
animation. and the matter will be
carried to Congress- The Georgia
members of the profession are taking
much interest in the matter, because
they want to serve their country, wher
called upon, and they want to do so il
a way that will reflect credit upor
themselves and upon the nation. They
feel that they are Handicapped If they
are shunted off to the ranks simply a.
privates, while other men of less
training are ranked above them as
officers.
BY all means make it possible for E
druggist in active military service t.
bee commissioned, if he is entitled to it.

SELF-DENIAL AND VICTORY.

What can | do to win the war;" tens
of people are asking, The answer
given by Walter S, Clifford. director
of the Council of National Defense, is
simple and explicit; Practice econ
omy"
Without economy the nation can't
finance the war. We have got to save
money to buy war bonds and thrift
stamps, subscribe to the Red Cross
and support other vital war activities.
And that isn't the whole story. AL
most as important as the payment of
war expenses is the saving materials
that are needed for war purposes, and
the freeing of factories and workers
for war industries
THE nations resources in man
power, money, transportation. food
stuffs, raw materials and fuel have al
ready been subjected to heavy
strain" explains Mr. Clifford. 1T is
the clear duty of every citizen to
guard against increasing this strain
nv a SingIa waSfafuI act
1T is most creditable for every
man, woman, boy and girl to be eco
nomical in dress, food and manner of
living. Every evidence of helpful
self-denial on the part of all at time
like this is most commendable This
war is more than a conflict between
armies; it is a contest to which every
man, woman and child can and should
render assistance.
There is to be national economy
campaign to drive the lesson home
TO everybody.
1t was formerly thought that much
could be accomplished by the suppress
sion of "nonessential industries" That
plan has been virtually abandoned be-
cause it is SO hard to say which in
dustries are essential and which are
not The matter is now left almo
wholly to individual judgment. Every
American, old or young, is asked to
regard himself or herself as thrift
volunteer.
The principle to be applied is SIM
pie What is essential to one person
may not be essential to another. The
test is, is it a luxury to me?" I'll
so, cut it out.
