Live at Home" Campaign
is Started

Raleigh, N. c. March 3 "A
definite start is being made this
week in the work of putting over
Governor Cameron Morrison's
Live at Home" campaign, John
Paul Lucas of Charlotte, who has
been secured to organize and di-
rect the campaign, has opened
an office in the State Department
Annex, and the preliminary work
is already under way. The work
in prospect is not new to Mr..
Lucas, who had active direction
of the Food Production and Con-
servation Campaign in North
Carolina during the war, first
with the State Food Commission,
and later with the United States
Food Administration, and who is
loaned" to the state for this
particular work by the Southern
Public Utilities Company for
which he is advertising and
publicity manager.
During the campaign emphasis
will be laid not upon the produc-
ton of food supplies for the
market, but upon the production
by every family of food and feed
supplies sufficient to supply its
own establishment. More and
better gardens, more poultry, one
or more cows for each family,
and sufficient hogs to furnish an
all-year supply Of pork will be
advocated. The new movement
has the wholehearted backing
not only of the Department of
Agriculture and the State College
of Agriculture and Engineering,
but also of the Department Of
Education, the State Board of
Health and other agencies Of the
state government.
The campaign which Is being
inaugurated will be intensively
conducted and will cover a period
Of eight to ten weeks. The
organization to be built up will
reach into every township Of
every county In the,ssate.

RECORDERS COURT NEWS
ITEMS

Sallie Pilkington, charged with
procuring and immoral conduct,
was placed under one thousanc
dollar bond for her appearance
at the March term of Halifax
Superior Court.
Vance Lynum and Myrtle
Capps, charged with immoral
conduct in the same case, were
placed under bonds of one thous.
and five hundred dollars respect
lively for their appearance at
Superior Court. None of the
defendants being able to give
bond, they were committed to
Halifax Jail.
The case grew out of the alleg-
ed abduction of seventeen year
old Myrtle Capps by Vance Ly.
mum on last Monday nigh. a
week ago. Testimony of wit
nesses was that Miss Capps met
Lynum in front Of the Central
Schools where she had gone os-
tensibly for the purpose of at
tending night school and went
with him and Sallie Pilkington
to Weldon, Emporia and Peters
burg. The trio were returning
on foot from Emporia when they
were picked up by a passing au-
tomobile and brought to Roanoke
Rapids. They were arrested last
Monday at the home of Weldon
King, a brother-in-law of Sallie
Pilkington, a few miles from
Rosemary. Myrtle Capps testi-
fled that she went with Lynum
under promise of marriage and
this testimony was substantially
corroborated by testimony Of
other witnesses as to conversa-
tions with her prior to her de-
parture with Lynum. Lynum
plead not guilty to the charge
and apparently has lied consist
emily throughout the whole af-
fair, both to the girl, her father
who questioned him on Sunday
morning in regard to her where
abouts, and the court.
Ed Pearson, colored, chakged

the value of recreation for the
growing child, the variation Of
that recreation in order to use
up the surplus energy which God
has given them, and the great
need there was for the system
which the schools of today use in
the health campaign for finding
the defects of the scholars
showed so plainly the call and
great need for the cooperation
of the parents with the teachers.

Enfield Entertains Macons

Enfield, renowned over the
entire state in Masonic circles,
enjoyed entertaining, on Feb.
ruary 28th, Masons from all lover
the Eastern part of the State,
when st. Aldemar Commandery
Knighted nine candidates. There
was a large number of Knights
present and with the large class,
there was the greatest enthusi.
asm manifested that there has
been in St. Aldemar Comman.
derry for a long time. During the
afternoon the Order of the Red
Cross and Order of Malta were
conferred, after which a banquet
was served by the ladies of the
Episcopal Church for the
Knights, and promptly at eight
O'Clock the Order of the Temple
was conferred.
st. Aldemar had as its honored
guests at this Conclave Grand
Commander R. C. Dunn, of En-
field, N. c., and Past Grand
Commander J. C. Braswell, of
Whitakers, N. G., both of whom
made stirring talks to the CON-
mandery.
Perhaps one of the most
notable portions of the evening
was that in which the Grand
Commander told the Knights
about the great work that was
being done by the several Com
manderies within the State,
relative to the Educational move
ment which he has instituted.
He told them that there were at
present twenty-nine boys or
girls being educated by the seve-
raj Communicates, and that he
felt certain that before the Grand
Commandery Conclave in Win
ston May 10th, that there would
be at least forty being educated.
He also told them that he was
certain that there would be at
the next Grand Conclave in
Winston over one thousand
Knights, as every Commandery
that he had visited had pledged
to have the greatest number of
Knights in Winston there had
ever been in a Conclave in North
Carolina.
After the stirring talk of
Grand Commander Dunn the
Committee on Attendance asked
the Knights present how many
were going to attend the Grand
Conclave, and out of the sixty
five present fifty said they were
going to Winston May 10th, and
of the other fifteen many stated
that it was their present inten.
tion to attend. st. Aldemar will
also carry one of the best uni
formed bands in the State, and
will make the trip on a special
train to which Pullmans from
Rocky Mount, Wilson, Goldsboro,
and Greenville viii! be attached.
1t looks now like st. Aldemar
will take at least seventy five
Knights at Winston for the
greatest Conclave of the Grand
Commandery that has ever been
held in North Carolina.

known financer. president of the
Old Dominion Trust Company,
and also of the Broad Street
Bank, died yesterday morning at
10:15 o'clock at his home on the
Cary Street road, Richmond, af-
ter an illness of several months.
Mr.. Habliston had been confined
to his home practically ever since
his return last Christmas Eve
from a trip to Europe. His
death proved a shock to friends.
Before becoming identified
with banking interests here, Mr..
Habliston was similarly engaged
in Petersburg, where he made
his home a number of years.
Mr.. Habliston was president of
the Citizens Exchange Bank,
which was consolidated with the
National Bank of Virginia under
the latter name. He then became
head of the National Bank of
Virginia, and remained with that
institution until it was consoli-
dated with the First National

became chairman of the board of
directors of the First National

became president of the Old Do
minion Trust Company.
Some years ago Mr.. Habliston
saw theneed Of a banking institu-
tion in the uptown business dis
trict and succeeded in organizing
the Broad-Street Bank, now To-
Gated at the northwest corner of
Sixth and Broad streets. He
became president of the bank
and continued as its head until
the time of his death.
Mr.. Habliston's connection
with theRoanoke Rapids Power
Company since 1895 has brought
him into contact with many citi-
zens ofthis community. His inter-
est inRoanoke Rapids has always
been verykeen and while his meth
DDS were conservative he sought
to aid in building up a perma-
nent town here. Until recently he
was q member of the directorate
of the Roanoke Mills Company.
He joined in the organization of
the Roanoke Rapids Paper Manu-
featuring Corporation, now the
Halifax Paper Corporation, and
at his death was a director in
that Corporation as we'll as the
Patterson Mills Company.
Mr.. Habliston was identified
with civic organizations and took
great interest in such work here.
During the world war he was
especially interested in Liberty
Loan campaigns and other work
to aid the government in
financing its part in the great
conflict.
Mr.. Habliston was the last sur
vivor of his family, his sister and
brother having preceded him to
the grave, He is survived by his
widow, who was Miss Nancy
Selden. Mr.. Habliston was born
76 years ago in Richmond.
The funeral will take place
from st. Stephens church,
Westhampton, at 3 o'clock
Saturday afternoon. Burial will
be in Hollywood.
Mr.. Habliston was for a mum.
Der of years a member Of st.
Paul's Episcopal church. After
moving to Cary street road he
transferred his membership to
St. Stephens church at West
hampton.

ment composed Of Health Off
Ger, Sanitary Inspector, anG
Clerical Assistant began it''
second years work with a milt
smallpox epidemic in full blast
To which a greater part of tht
first two and half months were
devoted to the control of. Alonf
with the above, was a chicken
pox epidemic which required
numerous visits to distinguish
cases from smallpox.
During this epidemic there
were reported and quarantineG
81 cases of smallpox and SO cases
chickenpox while $500 were
yaccinated, a great many cases ir
the colored race were not report
ed, due to ignorance Of quaran'
tine laws. Indictments and con
victions of 7 cases who had, moi
been reported from differen,
sections of the County stimulated
reporting to a large extent later
in the epidemic. There were 81
cases Of whooping cough, 122
cases of measles, which came
along sporadically through the
year. A mild epidemic Of scarlet
fever and diphtheria during Sep.
tember and October visited US.

former and " of the latter re.
ported. Along with the quaran.
tine work 36 public meetings
were held with a total attendance
of 3l45, at which 1886 pieces Of
literature were distributed.
In spite Of 27O9 sanitary privies
built and maintained there were
20 cases Of typhoid fever, most
of which were among the rural
people who had not taken to
vaccination and sanitary privies.
There were rs stools examined
for hookworm, 56 of which
were positive. These were treat
ed and cured. The high percent
age of positive cases were due to
the fact that suspects were se-
lected at schools and asked to
take the examination.
There were visited 81 schools
during which 3513 children were
examined, 60 treated for pedecu-
losis, and 40 for scabies. A dentist
was secured for three months
and 1856 children were treated for
dental defects.
Special arrangements were
made with Roanoke Rapids au-
thorities SO that school children
between the ages of 6 and 13
could be operated on for Ade-
noids and Tonsils in groups of
10 at the club rate of $500, q
children took advantage of the
low rate in November and
December 1921.
Complete Typhoid Fever i'm
munization of three doses were
given to 3O59 persons while many
others were given one and two
doses.
In the life exte nsion work 45
persons were given a physical
examination and As were given
marriage license certificates.
Visits to county dependents
were made as follows, County
Home 13, Jail 72, and Convict

ache and misery in the kidney re
giOn; rheumatism twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach. constipa-
ton, torpid liver, sleeplessness, blad-
der and urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right. or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in
glass Of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations
TO flush clOgged kidneys and slim
ulate them to normal activity; also
to neutralize the acids in the urine
so that it no longer irritates, thus
often ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts cannot injure anyone;
makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink which millions Of
men and women take now and then
to help keep the kidneys and urin-
airy organs clean, thus often avoid
ing serious kidney disorders. Adv.
