conduct a campaign in Stevens coun-
Ity, beginning January %, for the
sale of Smileage Books and Mr.

dent of the association, with the help
of the postmasters, will handle the

The Smileage Books contain cou-

tance and seats at Liberty theatres
which have been established at the
various camps and cantonments un-
der the management of the War De-

each teacher but many of them re-
quested much larger amounts. If
the teachers who are late with their
reports sell as many seals as the ones
who have already reported, the total

LOCAL STORES INVOICE
FOODS FOR UNCLE SAM
Government Wants to Know How
Much Food There is in the
Country

| wv WOChO dSO CNCly 1OOu uCdlOl
in Morris took an inventory of the
food stuffs they had on hand, the
reports being for the war emer.
gency food survey, provided by Con
gress. Every food dealer in the
| country was required to make this
| inventory, it being the most compre-
hensive inventory of food resources
that has ever been taken in the Uni
ted States.
This survey touched every dealer
in food and food materials, every
food manufacturer, and every holder
of substantial quantities of foods in
the country except the family, re-
quiring them to report stocks which
they had on hand December 81, 1917.
A separate schedule will be sent to a
selected homes throughout the coun-
try, and upon returns from these
an estimate will be made for all
homes.
The aim of the major survey is to
give the government, producers, deal
ers, and consumers exact information
Of the quantities of the various i'm
portant food materials on hand. It
is only with trustworthy figures of
existing food stocks as a basis, as
was pointed out when Congress pro-
vided for the survey, that safe plans
can be made for conserving and dis
tributing foods already on hand and
for producing the foods needed next
season.
The survey will be made by means
of schedules or questionaires con-
tanning questions and blanks for an
swers in regard to Sc items, cover
ing more than hundred different
foods. These items are divided into
10 general groups: Grains and seeds.
grainfood products, meat and meat
products, fish, animal and vegetable
fats, dairy and related products, can
ned goods, fresh fruits and vegetables
dried fruits, nuts, and peanuts, and
sugar, starches, etc. Answers are to
show the quantities Of each item on
hand and an estimate of quantities,
if any, in transit outward by freight
or express, on December 81, 1917,
and the quantities that were on hand
December 81 1916. The returns al
so will show the nature, organiza-
ton, and size of the business of each
dealer. They must be signed by the
owner or an authorized official.
Schedules will be sent to all deal
ers in food materials, all manufac-
turers of food commodities in lots
substantially greater than family
supplies. Reports, therefore, will be
expected from wholesale and retail
grocers, bakers, confectioners, and
all other dealres in commodities con-
tanning food materials; from ware
housemen and cold-storage concerns;
from commissaries of institutions
and commercial and industrial es-
Adjustments; from exporters; from
manufacturers employing any food
product in their operations; and from
representatives of foreign govern
ments who buy supplies in this coun-
try. The government desires reports
even from concerns using food-stuffs
as ingredients in products not ordin-
arily considered food; from bottlers
of soda water and similar beverages,
from chewing gum manufacturers,
for example, because of the sugar
employed.

Don't Drop Uncle
Sans Insurance

The Bureau of War Risk lnsur-
ance. Washington, d C.. has reques-
ted the Home Service Section to give
every publicity to the following:
Some soldiers and sailors are
dropping their War Risk Insurance
because relatives they named as
bcneficiaries have failed to receive
certificates from Washington.
Such actions is entirely upwarran-
ted and detrimental TO the best in
terest men and their loved ones.
Because CT delay in receiving in
suIance certificates. many soldiers
believe that they are paying for in
surance protection which they are
not receiving This is incorrect.
Government Insurance i ELECTIVE re
gardless of the receipt OF The lnsur-
ance certificate provided proper al
plicatiUH has been made and preml-
unS are being paid. The certificate
is no part OF Ike CONTRACT of inSur-
ance: il is merely evidence that the
contract exists.
If you are the relative OF man

see that he ayails himself OF this
Government protection. and that
when he has obtained it. he holds on
to it.

Notice
By County Commissioners of Intention to
Sell the AImshouse Property

Upon a recent visit by TIE County
Commissioners to the Almsho use Farm,
they found at the, institution inmates:
6white and 3 colored, 3 women and D
men. 1t appears that the present num-
Der of inmates is about the same that
have been maintained at the farm tor
several years. While the farm and
buildings are in excellent condition, the
farm we'll stocked and equipped, yet 1t
is very rare for the farm to support 1t
self The amount of money invested in
this p roperty seems out of all proper
ton to the service rendered the tax
payers of the county. 1t appears that
this p rOperty will require, in time,
a great deal of money to keep it in its
present condition For these reasons
the Board of County Commissioners de-
termined at its last meeting, December
5rd, to propose the selling of this prop
erty. and the Board wishes to bring
this proposition to the notice and con-
sideration of the people of Dorchester
county, and will be very glad to discuss
this with any who VIII meet the Board
at its next regular meeting, December
the 18th.
By Chapter ESQ Of the Acts of 1914.
the County Commissioners of Dorches-
ter county We're authorized to sell or
dispose of, in their discretion, the
Aimshouse Farm, either in whole or in
part, by public auction, or at private
sale, upon the best terms obtainable.
The Act further provides for the in
vestment of the proceeds of the sale of
the said property, in the discretion OF
the Board of County Commissioners, Tor
the care and maintenance of the needy
poor of said county or by providing
suitable place for them,
1t is the opinion of the Board that
circumstances and conditions are now
such as to warrant the exercise of the
power vested in them by the said law, |
but the Commissioners viii be glad to
hear any comment or expression of
opinion at their next meeting Decem- |

Spanish Influenza After Care

Although the epidemic of Spanish
Influenza has practically run its
course in this Division. there are seri
Gus problems yet to face OF the after
effects of the disease. In most in
stances you find the person getting
over the Flu feels even worse than
when he actually had il. The con
valescent period is one Of the most
critical in the course Of the disease,
for it is at this time that the patient
is most liable 10 develop any one OF
the serious plications, the most
common of which are pneumonIa,tu-
berculosis, heart trouble, diseases OF
the ear and in some extreme cases,
the Impairment of the mind.
This is an excellent opportunity
for the Home Service Sections to
render actual and timely aid to the
families of soldiers and sailors, and
we would like to make a few sugges-
lions which we trust Will be of value
to you in rendering this aid where it
is needed:
l.. That you consult your local
public health representative and II
: possible secure from him the names
of Home Service families who have
been registered at his Office during
the epidemic.
2. That you are sure that every
physician practicing within the juris-
diction of your chapter understands
that you want him to call upon you
if assistance is needed in providing
care for soldiers and sailors fami-
lies.
8. Have your local papers give
prominence to the suggestions of the
Federal Public Health Service as Civ
en- at the end of this letter. Your
local health officer will probably be
glad to have this publicity inserted
under his name. Consult him.
If You Have Had Influenza
L. Avoid exposure to cold.
Effects of getting thoroughly chill
ed may be very disastrous. Avoid
wet feet.
2 Avoid over eXertion of any
kind. Do not run up and down stairs
or take any violent exercise, such as
lifting heavy objects, as soon as you
think you are over the Flu
8. Take a tonic. Cod Liver Oil
or any other good tonic prescribed
by the doctor, that will stimulate
the appetite, is strongly advised.
= 4. Do not waste money on patent
medicines advertised to cure tuber-
cuIosis.
5. Be careful of diet. Patients
are urged to take plenty of simple
nutritious food, especially milk and
eggs, and are. warned against eating
anything liable to disturb. digestion.
g. f3Re care of ury cough
tAtk cough which hangs on" should
k6e cared for by a physician. Have
him examine the lungs. There is no
need to worry about tuberculosis if
you take precaution in time.
Z. Become a fresh air crank and
enjoy life. w. a. HARRIS,
Acting Director, Department of Civil
liam Relief.
