SMALLPOX SITUATION IN THE
COUNTY AND THE REMEDY.

The smallpox situation in Tazewell
County while not alarming is SER
ious. Due to the diligent work of
the physicians in whose practice the
cases have occurred epidemic. has so
far been prevented, however, quite n
number of cases are scattered thru
the northern half of the county and
the field is ripe for widespread
scourage of the disease unless every
precaution is taken and every citizen
co-operates with the Health Depart
ment in the efforts being made to
stamp out menace and fortify against
further infection. There is only one
safe and sensible way-be vaccinatcd,
YOU and all your family. When Uncle
Sam recently assembled all the young
manhood of our country for tho con-
flict overseas one Of the first meas-
urcs of protection given the soldier
in camp was smallpox vaccination.
Take lesson, therefore, and like
wise protect yourself, your family
and your county from the further
ravages of the disease.
Smallpox vaccination of today is
not the old time painful process you
have been taught to dread. 1t is only
tiny scratch, practically painless, a
little inconvenience for O day or two
then you are through and you have
secured what history has proven To
be in most cases practically a life
time protection from one of our most
dreaded diseases. Ask yourself tile
question is the inconvenience of q
sore arm and little indispositior
for few days to be compared with
absolute protection from smallpox
There is only one answer.
| The Health Office is now pushing
n rigid campaign Of vaccination o1
school children and SO far certain

successfully overcome due to thu
heretofore opposers being "open t,

the thing don't look right to you don

appointed District Superintendent of

cord here was considered entire sat

ucation, and his reappointment was
unanimous and hearty. He has made
good, as we say. i'll a trying and re-
sponsible position.
Only small-very small-per-

appreciate either the Importance or
the difficulties confronting q school

riots of widely separated schools,
Hence the lack of cooperation and
often criticism of him and his work
The management, encouragement d.
rection of the schools and teachers
when often there is dearth of teach
ers and also money to pay them--is
a mans job, job of increasing
CROWN, responsibility, calling for
Increasing devotion to duty, intelli-
gence and growth on the part of the
Superintendent, that he should
have the hearty support of all the
people, goes without saying. The au,
thorities, reviewing his work, have
given him the 80. K" and so shoult
all of us who desire the elevation ant
well-being of the future citizenship
of our great country, give him ant

SUNDAY SCHOOL OPENING DAY

A number of Sunday schools IN
the county have been closed since
last Fall and are still closed. The
first Sunday in April is suggested az
opening day, for all these "inter-
mittent" schools.
1t is shame, and a reflection up-
on every church member, that the
Bible school of the church should
suspend at any time, and the past
ors should get "as mad as fire"
whenever such slip slod, indiffer-
eent, and criminal state of things ex-
lists. If the weather or roads stood
in the way of children attending day
schools the autos, buggies and horses
would all be commandered, and the
children taken to and from school
and this would be the right thing to
do. Sunday schools are more impor-
tant than day schools, important as
these are.
Call the folks together for the
first Sunday in April. Drop this pa
eer a postal on Monday morning
after, and report how you started
off.
