But if the big nations not merely
decline to accept the league of nations

vitality concerned, but also fail to pro-
vide armies to impose these same
ideas upon the small people, who will
accept thera only under pressure, then
the ideas themselves disappear from
the practical calculation of statesmen.

OLD REMEDY TO HELP FLU.
Home Treatment for Pneumonia Said
to Hardly Even Fail in Result.

With many cases of "Flu" about
Smyrna and so many in outlying coun-
try districts here Doctors are not
available, the following old fashioned
home remedy for the treatment of
pneumonia has been submitted us with
a request to publish. The article is
clipped from and old newspaper of
"our mothers day" an is in the form
of a letter to "Diana" from "Mrs. E.
H." The letter with remedy is pub
hshed with the hope it might do some
family good in these trying and seri-
Gus times: "Diana: This is a very
popular external treatment for pneu-
monia. l have used it successfully in
a number of cases, and first read of
it in a medical journal, in which it
told of a Celebrated physician who used
simple home remedies and effected
many cures. This is it. Take six or
eight large onions and chop fine; put
in pan over the fire and pour in some
vinegar, about a pint. While it is
simmering thicken with flour until it
makes a good, thick poultice, spread
on cheese cloth and apply as hot as
can be borne on the patients chest.
A good test is to apply the poultice to
your own check, AS soon as it gets
a little cool put another one on. A
good plan is to have one in the oven
all the time between two pie plates to
keep it warm. Two poultices will last
for two or three hours, and can be
kept moist by applying vinegar. The
sick one should be uncovered only
long enough to apply the poultice, and
the room should be kept good and
warm. The poultice applications
should be renewed as soon as the
patient begins to choke up. Lime
should also be Stacked in the room by
making a funnel of newspaper and
placing it over the pail, which should
be placed near the bed"

A year ago. we somewhat reluctantly, lest
we might be regarded as exceeding our pre-
rogatlve. recommend that the Levy Court
cease road building for the year 1918 A
glance at the Good Roads Account reveals as
a result of this course by the Levy Court a
saving of over S30000.00 to the County The
total expenditures for Good Roads in 1917
were S45,659.lS in 1918 they were S15,54S. 50.
Under Expenditures will be noted the item
Court House Repairs S45,286.74. We feel es-
pecial attention should be given this item for
the reason that not a bond has been issued
nor penny added to the tax rate to produce
this revenue. 1t results from economical
administration of County affairs and a
careful watch over all expenditures by the
County Comptroller. When this office was Gre
ated, the County was largely in debt, but by
careful scrutiny of all expenditures and the
requirement that all bills presented be item
lied in detail, a splendid balance is now shown
on the credit side of the ledger, clearly DEM
oRstrating our oft expressed opinion that this
Office with the right man in it, is one of the
best we have in the interest of the taxpayers.
The Court House or County Building
when completed will be a beautiful and thor
oughly convenient and up-to-date building for
all County uses. and that it can be built with
out either increasing the taxes or issuing
bonds, speaks well indeed for those adminis-
tering County affairs.
Touching the matter of appropriations to
towns, tOtaling last year $5,275.00, the law
clearly contemplates that the money thus ap
propriated be expended only and wholly for
vehicular traffic, and not for repairs to side
walks. the purchase and erection of street
lamps, salaries to street-lamp lighters, etc.
1t has been suggested that there are several
towns in the County thus abusing misusing
this money. We suggest that the Levy Court
take such action as will compel the proper
application of these appropriations.
We must not refrain from again urging
care in the matter of purchase of supplies
and materials of all kinds for County use
whether they be for office or other department
of County Administration. And this applies
with equal force to all other County Expendi-
lures. The splendid showing of this report in
the face of War conditions deserves the COM
mendation of the Tax payers of this County
and is another evidence of faithfulness and
devotion to duty on the part of the man in
the office of County Comptroller.
