Where Does Health Education Begin


The man in the car stopped to look
at the good looking farm. The
fields were yielding large crops; the
stock was in fine condition. Well
made sheds housed the newest and
most efficient farm machinery and an
auto for travel.
How many pigs have you2' asked
the traveller.
Just a hundred and nine said the
farmer. THAT boar over yonder took
first prize at the county fair. He's
II full-bloodcd Tnrve.'
You certainly know how to raise
pigs. Mr.. Farmer
Il ought to; I've made a study of
raising hogs. You have TO get good
stock and then raise them right"
your corn looks fine, too"
yes, its going to be a bumper
crop"
Il suppose anybody could raise corn
around here ventured the traveller.
Anybody that's a mind to learn
how and willing to work. You have
to know how to raise corn; you have
to know about the soil. and the seed
and how to raise the crop. I've got
the best machinery anywhere around;
and it pays. A man can't afford these
days to buy inferior stock or tools;
and then he's got to keep everlasting
ly on the job
A child came running out into the
yard, brown as a berry, but thin and
sleepy looking.
How many children have your
asked the traveller.
"Nine." replied the raised of prize
pigs. Some family, eh?'
And | suppose you and your wife
have made a study of how to raise a
prize family of children"
".Now you're kiddin' me! | reckon
what's good enough for their dad is
good enough for them"
"But, is it? You don't expect your
small pigs to eat what your big hogs
eat. You don't make prize hogs that
way. When your growing a prize pig
you don't say, It's going to get no
more than its mother had but what
does this pig need?-and that pig
won't get it unless you give it to him.
You know every point of a prize hog;
do you know every point of a prize six
years old boy or girl? Or a ten year
old? Or q two year old?"
pears as if its goin' to rain said
the farmer" I'll have to be getting
the cultiyator under the shed. It's
new this year and | don't want 1t to
get wet and rust. If you want to
keep good machinery you. just have to
take care of it.'-National Bureau of

ISSUE 'DON'TS' FOR
TOURISTS BECAUSE
OF CATTLE MALADY
Must Dip Feet in Creosote
and Disinfect Tires in
Every County.
BY l.. &. OWEN.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light.
San Francisco. Cal. April 49,
You have to watch your step and hold
your skirts high in California these
days or the foot and mouth inspectors
will get you.
The needless traveller in the midst
of war times had no more troubles
than the chance wayfarer or itinerant
tourist is experiencing in the Golden
Gate state right now. il he isn't
ready TO dip his feet in creosote or
battle his automobile tires in anti
septics at every county line More
over. he has TO observe long list of
"don'ts."
Most of the trials and tribulations
besetting those who venture away
from home are encountered in the in
terror counties, where armed guards
meet you at tho county line and Civ,
you an analytical once-over.
b What happens next depends on thu
impression You make. If you arr
prosperous looking and don't appear
to have tarried by the wnyside. they
may let you off after you have waded
through q half inch of crosote and had
your automobile wheels disinfected.
IL YOU are not so afflunent looking
or il perchance you are Gypsy or
hobo. they shove you into small
tent with an aperture for the head
and disinfect you with formal
dehyde.
Here are some of the "don'ts" which
have been issued by the state board
of health for those who venture out
into the great open spaces:
Don't pick flowers. One reckless
tourist who did has just been fined
$50.
Don't take dogs or cats along,
You'll lose them il you do.
Don't shoot birds. 1t wouldn't be
so bad if you actually shot them, but
if you missed they might fly into the
next county, taking foot and mouth
germs with them.
Don't congregate in assemblagcs of
people.
Don't camp out.

TO CANVASS STATE

A determined drive 10 have the
Texas delegation TO the National Dem
ocratic convention instructed for
United States Senator Oscar W. I'm
derwood of Alabama, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Pres.
ident, is to be carried on. Headquar-
ters will be opened in various of the
larger cities of the state, including San
Antonio.
This is the announcement brought
to San Antonio Friday by Maj. O. p.
Newman of Washington. one of the
assistant national managers of the
Underwood campaign and W. L. Lea.
former mayor of Orange, Texas, state
manager for the Alabama senator. Mr..
Lea resigned as mayor to conduct the
Texas campaign for Mr.. Underwood
His headquarters are Dallas.
Major Newman and Mr.. Lea came
here from Austin where they con-
ferred Thursday with leading Demo-
Gratis of the state. During Friday
they met San Antonio supporters of
Mr.. Underwood and partially mapped
out the campaign for this district.
See Underwood as Compromise.
William Gibbs McAdoo and Al
Smith of New York are the outstand-
ing contestants for the Democratic
nomination at the present time with
the probabilities that neither can re-
ceive enough votes in the convention
to be nominated. Major Newman said
This means that the Democrats will
turn to some other strong leader. and
the most likely one is Underwood
Smith has n strong following in the
East and New England while Nc.
Adoo's strength lies in the West. SEN
ator Underwood is strong in the South
Major Newman said national I'm
derwood headquarters believe that
when the convention gets underway,
and it is demonstrated that neither
Smith nor McAdoo can obtain suffi-
Gent votes TO nominate, Underwood
will be the choice.
Will Not Pick m Unknown.
Discussing the various ''favorite
sons" Major Newman said that with
out question the Democrats will not
nominate an unknown man. They
tried that once and failed. he said.
The Democratic opportunity is too
great now. with every probability of
success in the general election, TO
throw it away on a man who is not
nationally known, he said. There Is
strong belief among party leaders that
Underwood. if given the nomination,
has better chance TO win than any
other Democrat.
Discussing the question from the
Texas standpoint Mr.. Lea said that
Governor Neff. without doubt. will
prevent instruction of the Texas dele
CATION for McAdoO. IL Texas sends
an INSTRUCTED delegation. therefore, it
will most likely be for Underwood.
Mr.. Lea stated that Senator Under
wood stands absolutely opposed to the
Ku Klux Khan.
