tee this disease can be controlled
just as you have controlled to a
large extent your malarial prob
lem.
Sumter county has a reputation
in the state as a leader among
Georgia counties in your CONSOLE
dated schools, health work and
road building. We believe you
should tackle your tuberculosis
problem with the same enthusiasm.
Your tuberculosis death rate for
last year was So deaths. Most of
these were among negroes"
DR.. Payne, in discussing the
question of securing an active COM
mittee, said he and the visiting
specialists would be in conference
during the day with the presidents
of the two civic clubs, Walter Ry-
lander, of the Rotary club, and Ev-
an Mathis, of the Kiwanis club.
The secretary and president of the
Chamber of Commerce also were
conferred with and the aid of the
chamber pledged. The heads of
women's clubs will be called on
for aid
"The greatest danger to our
white population, so far as tuber-
culosis is concerned" said DIR.
Payne, SIS from the negro washer
women, who take in the washing
for white families. Some of the
negt,o washwomen have tubercu-
losis themselves or there are cases
in the home. Last week in inspect
ed the home of one negro woman
whose husband has tuberculosis.
She was ironing the clothes of a
white family and laying them on
the bed of the tuberculosis patient
as she completed each garment.
This is one of the ways in which
the disease is spread and it is the
handling Of just such problems as
this that we must direct our atten-
ton"
An active committee on tuber-
culosis have various funds from
which it may draw for expenses, it
was stated, and from this the angle
of finances the campaign is easier
handled than has been the case with
malaria.

MOTHER is FREED
OF KIDNAPPING CHARGE

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. 4.--The
instinct of mother-love which led
Mrs. Roy McClain to take her 49,
year-old daughter away from her
husband, after the latter was award
ed custody of the child by a divorce
court, has caused Mrs. McClain to
be freed of a charge of kidnapping.
County Prosecutor King took the
responsibility of declaring that the
woman, held in Detroit for the Co
lumbus authorities, should go free.
"Why should this little girl in aft
err years be told that her mother was
sent to the penitentiary for love of
herr" demanded King. He then
ordered Mrs McLain's release.

Charity Begins
AT Home

There is such thing as be-
ing wickedly good. Rodger Do
Ian, back from a trip up in the
North Country to inspect what
he thought were gold mines
when he bought the stock,
brings this story: 2l
In backwoods district
where there is considerable tour
ist traffic-mostly fishing par
ties-we found family running
a hand laundry. The wife was
famed for SO miles as a good
woman, an angel of mercy.
Fully half Of her time was de
voted to going to distant set
tiers cabins to nurse the sick.
Seldom did she get pay. Her
reputation for goodness and
charity seemed well grounded
until looked under the surface.
Il found that, when she went
away on her errands of mercy,
she turned the laundry work
over to her two daughters. They
were about 10 and 2 years old,
and actually hunchbacked from
overwork.
My own laundry was late,
and one of the wan little girls
said: Mothers been gone
week. She left us with thirty
washings to do.
Angel of mercy2 My own
idea is that this system of be
ing nice at the expense of 9TH
ers is wicked"
Rodger has discovered moth
ing new. Many a celebrated
philanthropist makes his gifts
at the expense of underpaid en-
ployes. We kno wone employ
er of child slaves who is always
first on the job to contribute
for the relief of needy children
in far-off countries.
1t is easy to be nice at the
expense of others.
But real charity and good
deeds involve personal sacri-
fee. They are not the stolen
work of others, hogged and
Jnasqueraded under an exploit
er's name to satisfy his vanity.
This backwoods woman run
ming a laundry and working her
children into early graves to en-
able her to nurse the unfortu-
nate-she would have to stay at
home and give up her charitable
work if it were not for the slav-
cry she imposes on her children.
She gets the credit. But the
unheralded child slaves are
making the errands of mercy
possible.
So easy to be nice at the ex-
pense Of others.
Some Wall Street bankers
are eager for Uncle Sam to
cancel the debts incurred by Eu-
ropean borrowers from our ma
lonal treasury. But you never
hear the same bankers suggest
ing that they cancel the private
loans they made to the same Eu-
Topeans.

Dieting

Your instinct (appetite) can
usually be trusted in the matter
of what you should or should
not eat This idea is advanced
by DIR. Graham Lusk of Cornell
Medical School.
DR., Lusks experiments show
that animals instinctively choose
the foods that are best for them.
Rats, turned loose in a profusion
of choice things to eat, pounce
upon the ones Containing GER
tain vitamines they need. Lusk
says:
st does not seen possible that
the established habits of diet of
man can be deleterious to his
welfare. For example, the Eski-
mo lives largely upon meat, yet
does not contract govt. Meat
increases the heat production
very greatly and is a comfort
producing food in cold weather"
Food fads have been the
vogue for several years. They
unquestionably can accomplish
much. particularly certain diets
for adding weight or reducing
fat. Again, many people are
under-nourished even though
they eat a lot. A proper diet,
supplied them by an expert, fur
nishes necessary food substances
they have not been getting.
But food fads like everything
else, can be overdone.
The New York State De-
partment of Health declares:
zone of the most common
fads is the going without-break-
fast fad. This has been especial
ly developed among young peo-
pie, notably girls. The normal
person needs a nourishing break
fast to draw on for energy used
in the days activities, and it is
very doubtful if an individual
can or does get ample nourish
ment from two meals day."
Science has exploded these
ancient bits Of hokum - that
carrots make one beautiful, that
crusts make the hair curl, that
fish is brain food, that rheuma-
tism can be cured by carrying a
red kidney bean or horse chest
nut in the pocket. that an onion
in the hair will relieve headache.
All these are fads, and just as
sensible as some of the what-to-
eat cults.
Instinct will tell the average
adult person what to eat and
what to avoid. People with acid
stomach generally need less
starch and more meat than 9th
ers. Strawberries, buckwheat
and oatmeal are excellent foods
for most people, but on some
they produce a warning rash.
What's one man s meat is an
other man poison.
Trouble is. so many of us do
not recognize them when instinct
speaks. We have a craving for
too much candy. Nature upsets
the stomach, to warn us against
sweets. We continue ignoring
her warning and obey the crav-
ing.
Eating is not an exact science.
J It depends on the eater.
