CARTER COUNTY ROADS

The editor of the Wilson Daily Herald has been
travelling the road to Ardmore of late and in recent
edition of his paper he writes as follows:

True Trachoma Easily Transmitted.

At a recent meeting of the Ameri-
can Medical association DIR. John Nc
Mullin, surgeon, U. S. Public Health
service, started lively debate in the
section on preventive medicine by
reading paper in which he asserted
that much Of the so-called trachoma
which afflicted the eyes of American
children is not trachoma and not con-
tagious.
The original cause of this infiamma-
ton Of the eyelids IS unknown, but
1t Is known with certainty that it is
transmitted with ease from one eye to
another. There is another type. called
folliculitis, which is not contagious
and can easily be cured, while the
true trachoma necessitates slight
surgical operation and careful treat
ment; and, even with this, 1t Is by
no means certain that 1t Is ever per-
manently cured.

Births Must Be Reported.

The necessity that all births oc-
curing in Maine, illegitimate as
well as legitimate, shall be re-
ported to the State department of
health, is being impressed upon the
doctors of the State
The State department of health
has repeated calls for birth, death
and marriage records which have
never been reported to proper au-
thorities. Many calls come for
birth records of illegitimate chill
dren, as these children often come
under the care of the State and are
frequently placed in institutions or
ado tied, in both instances a birth
record being of vital necessity to
the future welfare of the child
Among the plans for increasing
the efficiency of this division, is that
of issuing a birth certificate to each
child as soon as record of his birth
reaches Augusta. This record can
be preserved by the childs parents,
and can be used throughout life to
establish his rights to enter and
leave school, inherit property,
marry, exemption or liability to
military service, secure employment,
and many kindred matters of vital
interest to every individual.

ODD BELIEFS OF JAPANESE
Popular Supersttons Have Mostly
Sprung From Moral Precepts
and Are Quite Harmless.

There are many popular, as distln-
guished from religious superstitions
in Japan. These originally sprang
from mostly moral precepts and are
quite harmless. They prevail more
widely among people In the rural and
mountain districts than among city
jewellers and among the older and ig-
norant classes than among the young
and educated groups. Some Of these
superstitions are:
At a marriage ceremony a dress of
purple color is taboo, lest the mutual
love of the bride and groom be soon
lost, as purple is color most liable
to fade.
If while a person Is very i'll cup
of medicine be upset by accident, it
is sure sign of his recovery; he
needs medicine no longer.

on fire, to throw refuse in it, will
cause the wrath Of the god and hence
a calamity. The bore is not unknown
in Japan, and the Japanese are pes

a frenzy of eagerness to get rid of
them. The Japanese recipe of getting
