~ABBEvILLE'S NEEDS

Since the organization of the hos
pital auxiliary, where ever a few wo-
men, are gathered together, the talk
is sure to be of the campaign to raise
money. At a gossip-feast this week
one lady had had DR.. Rakestraw'
pointed out to her and she comment
ed on his jaunty walk, his spruced up
appearance and his general good
looks, which brought forth from an
other lady the remark "well, that is
what I like. When I get sick. i want
a 'prinpie' man to come and see me.
I don't get it, for DR.. Harrison is
the only fprimpie' doctor in town and
he has quit practicing."
Our doctors should join the !"sclean
up and paint up" campaign and get
to looking like Dr.. Harrison.

WHAT WE ARE ALL UP AGAINST

Says the New York Herald: "Capi-
tai destruction during the recent war
ran higher by far than in any pre-
vious conflict in history. The amount
of wealth wiped out has been estimat-
ed at as much as $3.50, poe, Oo0, o00s
Only by long years of toll and thrifs
can this destroyed wealth be replace
ed out Of surplus production. Until
Ills replaced the world cannot live
IN The comfort and enjoy the Injuries
it did before the war"
The case as thus stated would seem
to be so clear and so convincing that
II SIS scarcely possible for any mar in
his senses to fail to grasp its mean
ing. How any intelligent, reasoning
person could ever have concluded that
the aftermath of such a war was to
be a long period of unexampled pros
peritS for this country or any coun-
try, or all classes or any class, is be-
yOnd comprehension when the facts
are soberly reviewed.
The world today may be compared
] to an agricultural community where
ali the farmers mortgage their lands
and then have their houses destroyed
and their crops ruined by cyclone.
Such a community can recover from
afblow like this only if its people in
dividually and collectively work
harder than they ever have worked
and practice the sternest economy.
Thus only did the South slowly en-
erge from the bankruptcy which was
brought upon it by u great war.
Thus only, a IS the Herald says, can
the world now regain the comforts
and the Injuries which had become
the distinguishing characteristics of
modern civilization seven years ago.
In all parts of the world there are
millions who still cling to the foolish
hope that in some miraculous way the
present wreckage Of civilization is
going 10 be slaughtered out in a lit
tie while so that men and women can
take up their lives again where they
left off in 1914, only in a larger Sc
chrity with less work and more pleas
ures. An unhappy awakening awaits
all such dreamers. No such miracle
ever has happened, or can happen.
Work and thrift will save us. Work
and thrift will put the world once
more on its feet. It will take time,
but it can be done. This is the way
to "normalcy," and there is no other.
