though the cost Of living has in
creased there is little to prevent
these workers from saving thou

workers are very numerous.
But saving thousands is not the
kind Of diversion which many Of
them crave. Investigation has
shown that most Of them spend

SOUND A WORD OF WARNING
Tuesday

Every person IN Scotland Neck
should make it his Or her business
to see that no visiting is done un-
til the entire community is free OF
the Influenza.
This is an earnest appeal, anG
timely, for we know that those
towns and cities who have disre-
garded precautionary measures
are now undergoing a greater sci
ge than the first attack.
So dreadful is the Influenza that
it is well to be cautious and we can
not do too much in avoiding a re-
currence such as has smitten our
sister towns.
1t is not so great privation for
one to omit visiting from house to
house. especially when the risk is
with those you visit. 1t is a true
friend, surely, who would pro-
tect his or her friend from harm.
and there can be no greater harm
than spreading disease.
The worst Of it is we do not
know when we are carrying it, or
taking it, and whilst it is in our
midst it is well to be cautious there
fore we say, as emphatically as we
can. 80 not visit, Go not allow any
visits to be made you, until you are
sure YOU are free Of the disease
your home is free Of it, or that
your friends have not been expos
ed to it.
Its whole lot easier for you TIC

than for you to be racked with
pain and tormented with raging
fever.
