Soliciting Contributions For Suf-
fering Jews.

At meeting at the court house Fri
day the following committee was ap-
pointed to solicit contributions for
Jewish relief, in accordance with tie
proclamation of Gov. Beckett setting
aside today as Jewish Relief Day ic
North Carolina, the first of 3-days'
drive to raise 100000 in this State
to aid starving Jews in the war zone
in Europe: Mrs. R. E. Lewis, chair
man: Mesdames. R. c. Lawrence, Joe
Blacker and Ira Townsend; Misses
Anna Neal Fuller and Amanda Nc
Diamid. These ladies, with others
who are assisting the members of the
committee, are making a canvass OF
the town today.
This is most worthy cause and no
doubt the response of the people of
Lumberton will be liberal.
At the morning service at Chestnut
Street Methodist church yesterday the
pastor, Rev. DR.. R. c.. Beaman, made
a strong appeal for Jewish relief,
urging Lumberton people to 90 some
thing big, which he said he was sure
they would do because they. "have the
heart of true Americans and disciples
of Jesus Christ" eve have some fine
Jewish citizens" he said, and should
give with glad hearts to help starving
millions of this marvellous race.

Associated Doctor" Not En-
dorsed by Health Department.
To the Editor of The Robesonian:

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
My attention has been called to an
advertisement in your valuable paper,
concerning the Associated Doctors" :"
who are to be at the Lorraine hotel
sometime soon. I have been asked by
a number of people if these men were
sent here by the State Board of Health
and if they were going to work under
the direction Of the Robson county
health department..
wish to be emphatic in saying that
this DEPARTMENT knows absolutely
nothing about the "Associated doc
tors" and cannot, therefore, endorse
their work.
1t is my opinion that reputable doc :
tors do not practice medicine in this
way. Men who advertise and go from
place to place, offering to render free
service, can usually be depended up
on as one-day stand medical quacks,
who have come to fleece the people OF
their hard-earned cash, and the pub
lie health departments usually warn
the public against such men.
Very truly yours,
DIR. w. A. McPHAUL,
Health Officer of Robson County.
