You Do More Work.

You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.

by careless habits such as sneez-
ing or coughing in ones face,
putting pencils in the mouth,
fingers in the mouth, using the
common drinking cup. If all
people would be careful about
coughing and sneezing in the
right way, that is by using a
handkerchief over the mouth
and nose, turning the head so
that the particles of secretions
from the mouth and nose are not
thrown in the face f.the person,
these diseases would be largely
prevented. Respiratory diseases
are spread from the mouth and
nose Of sick people and carriers.
P. S. The laboratory tests are

PLAN RURAL WELFARE
Red crOst Specialist Studying
Southern Rurd Districts.

What will you do if we have an.
other epidemic of fluT
This is the question that is being
answered daily by DR.. E. L. Morgan,
national director of the Red Cross
Bureau of Organization, in the Gulf
Division. From community to COM
munity, DR.. Morgan is visiting and
studying in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Alabama. His latest address was be-
fore the Home Service Institute at
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where he said
that the question of preparation for
epidemics is of paramount impor-
tance.
IF district is found unhealthy
and if typhoid is raging because of
impure water" said DR.. Morgan,
"treat the case as though you were
acting for a family. Consult the
public health officials, and. the sani
tary and legal forces, and get the
community back Of you to carry out
Une necessary REFORMS.
DR.. Morgan's tour is principally IN
the interests Of the rural community
the community which is getting
such large share of attention in the
Red Cross Peace Time Program. The
Home Service sections of the Red
Cross are to have a great part in
this work and it is expected that
public health will be improved to a
great extent through their co-opera-
ton with Red Cross public health
nurses.
Look around your own town"
DR.. Morgan told the Red Cross work
ers, "and see if it is orderly and
clean, or if it is dirty and unsani-
tary. If the death rate is too high,
there is a reason-and you must find
out that reason. All of the people
are stockholders in the community,
and their stock improves or depre-
ciates according to the condition in
which their property is kept, and the
property improves in proportion with
the person who owns it,
"The Red Cross has a two-fold job
in this respect" DR.. Morgan contin-
ued. ''We must carry on the work
the individual chapter has decided
upon, such as eSlps2ying puslic
health nurses, getting better schools,
and supplying the needs of the COM
munity; secondly, we must carry on
a campaign of education to give the
people the knowledge that will make
them desire the greater things of
life"
eve are going to do for the coun-
try what is being done for the city
Living conditions in the two places
must be made equally pleasant and
healthful."

NOTICE

All persons who have been
notified to connect with the
sewerage system will take notice
that the time expires Jan. l,
1920. The law is that if said
parties have not complied by
this time they shall be fined not
over $4,000, and each day after
that where said parties do not
connect up counts as a separate
offense. 1t is not a pleasant job
for the Mayor to have this to do
and | hope he will not have it to
do; so get busy and put in the
sewerage.E But if you do not
put it in as required by law,
there is nothing else to do but
enforce. the law.
Respectfully,

SCHOOL CHILD SAVED
BY RED CROSS SECRETARY.

A strange lady stopped group Of
children who we're on their way to the
country school. She had noticed them
dragging young BOY along the rough
road.
"You mustn't do that" she told
them. "why don't you let your little
playmate walk" !
one of the boys bright-eyed little
captors spoke up:
"Aw, lady, can't va see Willie's .
cripple? He can't walk"
The lady did see, now. And she ac-
companied the children home. 1t was
a home Of poverty, of wretched squalor.
The mother of the crippled boy in
formed the visitor she had no money
10 buy crutches for her son, who was
a victim Of infantile paralysis.
That was three weeks ago. Today

the boy is walking again, feebly and
uncertainty, but successfully. The
strange lady was a.Red Cross Home
Service secretary, and she sent the boy
from the town in Mississippi, where
she found him, to the Crippled Chill
dren's Hospital in Memphis, where a
successful operation was performed.
The Peace Program of the Red
Cross provides for the continuation Of
such activities as this. The local Red
Cross organization will conduct a
drive November 2 to II, for the pur-
pose of extending Red Cross servic4 in
this community.

RED CROSS SERVING DIScHARC
ED SOLDIERS IN MANY WAYS.

"Say, Sam, did you ever get that
Liberty bond you paid for?"
"No."
"Neither did l. 1 wonder when
Uncle Sam is coming through
with it."
This conversation, or one like it.,
is taking place these days between
hundreds of "pals" in the service, or
Just discharged from it. Various
difficulties have been experienced by
soldiers in getting the bonds for
which they have paid.
To overcome this condition the
American Red Cross has come to the
rescue. All any soldier who wants
his bond needs to do henceforth is to
inform Representative Of the Red
Cross. Practically any contingency
causing delay has been guarded
against. The soldier must give the
representative all the information he
can and leave the rest to the associa-
tion, which will take up the matter
and see that prompt delivery is made
through registered mail.
The method is this, in brief: The
soldier assigns the delivery of his
bonds to the Red Cross representa-
tive, who obtains it from the bond
section of the zone finance office
and delivers it to the owner.
This is one of the many services
of this great organization which is
soon to conduct a third roll call to
cain money and members to keep up
its work permanently.

Preventing the Spread of
Diphtheria

diphtheria can bo prevented by
proper measures. The State
Board of Health Regulations for
the prevention of diphtheria are
as follows:
l. Any child who contracts,
diphtheria shall be excluded
from school until the disease is
cured and the child ceases to be.
a Carrier. =" This means that.
two swabs must be obtained by
the physician in attendance
forty eight hours apart and the
tests made from these swabs
must be negative before the
child shall be permitted to return
to school. No throat wash or
anticeptic should be used during
the interval between taking of
the swabs.
2. The other children of the
family in which diphtheria oc-
ours are not permitted to attend
school until the child who has
the disease is pronounced cured
and the throat free of diphtheria
germs as shown by microscopic
examination made from swabs
taken forty eight hours apart.
1t should be noted that children
f the family who do not have
diphtheria must also have their
throats tested. In other words,
children of the family must have
their throats tested and shown
to be negative before being al
allowed to return to school. Ut.
is needless to state that this final
test should be made of all the
children at the same time. Only
one test is required Of the child
rem in a family who do not con-
tract the disease or become
carriers
3. The diphtheria carrier shall
not be permitted to attend school
until the throat is shown to be
free of diphtheria germs by OBJ
tanning two swabs, 48 hours
apart for microscopic tests. The
other children of the family in
which there is a diphtheria car
rier should also be kept at home
and as soon as the throat of the
diphtheria carrier is free of
organisms one test should be
made of the other children in
the family and if negative should
be permitted to return to school.
1t is very easy for the child in
the family where the disease
occurs to become a Carrier, /"
and not have the disease. These
carriers spread the disease just
as readily as those who have it.
1t is therefore, essential to take
precautions relative to all mem
bers of the family where the
disease occurs.
In referring to school in the
above regulations it is also just
as necessary for parents and the
health officer to prohibit children
from attending Sunday School
and other public gatherings
where diphtheria occurs in the
family Of course, these child
rem can play out doors and have
freedom around the home, but
they should not mingle with
other children. 1t should be
kept in mind that catching"
diphtheria depends largely upon
direct contact.
In order to prevent the spread
of diphtheria in the school, or
community it is imperative that
the city officials, school board,
teachers, parents and physicians
cooperate in observing the regu-
lations for the prevention and
spread of the disease. There is
too much danger attached to
diphtheria for people to be in
different and careless toward
its spread.
