Our Boys Victorious.

Edgefeld is very proud of the vic
to1ious which the high school foot
ball team won at Ridge Spring Fri
day afternoon. Not only do our boys
play a good game, from the stand
point of skill, but they play clean
game, deporting themselves as young
gentlemen should. From their first
contest of the season they have stead
lily improved with practice and by
the time the season closes they will
have record to he proud of. On
10 they will play the Fair
fax team at Edgefeld and our peo-
pie should attend the game in large
letting our boys know that
we are interested in them and are
by them.

Why the Decrease in Tuber.
cuIosis Death Rate?

The remarkable decrease in the
death rate from tuberculosis is a
matter of interest not only TO the
medical fraternity but to the laity.
In the last Gfty years there has been
fall of 77.9 per cent in tubercu-
losis death rate in New York City; in
the last eleven years a fall of 81 per
cent, and in the calendar year of
1921, fall of 1871 per cent. 1t is
most important that the causes re-
sponsible for such phenomenon
should be discovered in order that
health authorities and physicians may
know how to combat the dread dis
ease.
DR.. Haven Emerson, former Health
Commissioner of New York City,
and now professor in Cornell Medical
School, New York, writing in the
American Review of tuberculosis of
Baltimore, (June, 1929 seems in
clined, in considering all the factors
involved in this beneficent change,
to lay most stress on the improved
financial and living conditions of the
poor including with this, decreased
alcoholism and the lessened expendi-
ture for alcohol. He says that it is
probably not too much to say that
in the next twenty-five years as great
a percentage Of reduction in tuber-
culosis can be attained as has been
accomplished in the last fifty years,
by adding to our methods and re-
sources those which will build up
bodily resistance by providing for
and following a higher standard Of
living, and those which will diminish
the hazards of occupation and Of oc-
cupancy.

Kathleen Norris, Noted Writ
er, Pleads for Enforce
ment of 18th Amend-me5
ment of the 18ht
Amendment.

In kathleen Norris, recognized as
one of the most popular writer's of
fiction in the United States, the pro-
hibition cause has an eloquent cham
pion. She has enlisted heart and soul
in the campaigns in California to Sc
cure the passage of the statewide en-
forcement measure. She is speaking
to large audiences, and everywhere
her messages call forth enthusiastic
approval. Her success is so marked
that the anti-prohibition newspapers
are devoting editorial space to ridi-
cule and condemnation Of her eff
forts, the HIGHEST compliment that
can be paid to her endeavors.
In speaking before large COM
pany of women recently she said:
81 don't speak often. When do
make speech I feel that I can be
forgiven on the same grounds that
the woman in the Bible was forgiven
because I love much. Today / am
standing here because I love my
country and because after a good
many years of hard word, poverty,
Encouragement, illness-all the bus
mess of wifehood, motherhood, home
keeping-because now in these years
/ have little freedom, and like many
of the rest of you I have thought to
myself, especially in my prayers, that
I should be glad before l died to
hand on to other women some little
share of what love of country and
love of God mean to me as woman.
We are all apt to look back into his
tory and feel that in any of the great
crises we could have shone brilliantly.
We could have handled the work Of
Florence Nightingale-we could have
been noble Joan of Arc-but it
seems to me today that as citizens we
are facing an issue as great as any
that the world has ever known"
The outstanding thought that Mrs.
Norris drives home in her addresses
is that the women must come to the
rescue in this crucial time, and help
to hold the law that has done so
much to protect their homes and
children. Her plea is to the mothers
to live up to their responsibilities as
loyal citizens in going to the polls
and casting their ballots for the en-
forcement of the prohibition law, and
to use their influence with other
mothers, and with their husbands and

they are now within reach of every

brothers and friends to work and
vote FOR men favorable to the 18th
Amendment. One of her unique ap-
peals to the patriotism of her audi
ences is made in these words:
eff anyone would be willing to
tear down an American flag and wrap
it around a garbage can, then he may
consistently sneer at the non-enforce-
ment of the 18th Amendment, but
American patriots must not permit
themselves to miss this opportunity
for patriotism fully as great as
that offered by service at the front
in the World War;"
