Report of Red Cross Campaign

Editor Edgefield Advertiser:
May I use your columns to express
my appreciation to the citizens of
Edgefeld County for their contribu-
ltions to the Red Cross Society in the
drive which was held between No
vember End and 18th, inst? And cs-
pecially do I desire to thank The la
dies of the various auxilis.ries for
the good work they did in collecting
funds during the drive; the campaign
was practically managed by the la
dies and but for their untiring work
and loyal devotion to the Red Cross
cause we would have accomplished
little.
With all auxiliaries heard from eX-
cept Red Hill, Meeting Street and
Ropers and the Trenton Branch, we
have in hand the sum of $504.65. 1t
is hoped that when the above reports
are received a good sum will be add
ed to the grand total.
Of course we did not go cover the
top" as we had hoped to do but the
sum that we did realize will greatly
aid in carrying on the wonderful
work of the Red Gross, especially
the work of caring for and making
comfortable and happy the 100000
isoldiers and sailors who are still in
American hospitals as result of the
late great war.
Following are the names of the
County Auxiliaries, the amounts con-
tributed and the name of the work
ers to whom we are greatly indebted
for their splendid services: Cleora,
$49, Mrs. w. T. Reel; Golfers, $40,
Miss Ellie Mathis; Sweetwater, SIG,
Mrs. j. T. Reese; Horns Creek, $13,
Mrs. S. B. Mays; Flat Rock, $25, Mrs
IT. w. Lamb; Antioch, SGT, Miss An
lle SllSUy.
These ladies were assisted by
others and to them our thanks are
due. Especially do we wish to thank
Mr.. j. F. Walker of Antioch who not
only purchased buttons for himself,
wife and six children, but loaned his
automobile for the use of the Anti
och worker. Such splendid patriotism
is worthy example.
The colored ministers and school
teachers disposed of some buttons,
and we are thankful for their efforts.
A considerable number of buttons
were sold to school children, Miss

Many physicians believe that any
one who has a bad cold should be
completely isolated to prevent other
members of the family and associates
from contracting the disease, as
colds are about as catching as mea-
sles. One thing sure-the sooner one
rids himself of cold the less the
danger, and you will look good
while before you find better medi-
cine than Chamberlain's Cough Rem

Prevent Malaria and Save

New York, Nov 30.-Experiments
by the Rockefeller institution in con-
trolling malaria in the Southern
States show that in the average
Southern community it is cheaper to
prevent malaria than to have tin
other words that this scourge, which
greatly reduces the working ef6cien-
cy of the population in many sections
can be brought under effective con-
troll for less money than is ordinarily
spent in doctor bills by malaria pa
tients. An account of the institutes
work in this direction, which, has
been in progress since 1916, is given
in the small annual report of the or
ganization.
A campaign undertaken ir six
small Arkansas towns Of from 1000
to 5000 population in which the dis
ease in severe form was widely
prevalent resulted in reducing the
number of physicians calls in mala-
ria cases by 97.8 per cent. in the
most favorable instance and by 74.4
per cent. under the least favorable
circumstances, at the initial per cap
ita cost of from 46 cents to s1.45.

paying annually more than four and
a half times as much in doctors bills
alone for the privilege of having ma
laria as it expended in 1913 for the
upkeep of the work which kept it
practically free from malaria and
from mosquitoes as pests"
Success was attained by simple
measures against the breeding places
of the mosquito; in rural sections,
where the disease is chiefly felt, such
measures are often impracticable:
Screening of houses by galvanized
wire cloth was tested with marked
success on a group of cotton plali-
tations near Lake Village, Ark, the
infection being reduced from 11.97
per cent. to 3.52 perscents [

within the year and of the others %
per cent were carriers" with the ma

All these were given quinine ster-

malaria parasite. The report records

did splendid work.
In addition to the $504.65 we al

tion which conducted the DECEMBER,
1913 campaign, has small fund in
the bank which they expect to turn
ov er to US to send in, if authority to
do so is granted by the National Red
