With view of reducing the
large and needless waste occasioned
by careless addressing OF mail mat
ter, Postmaster General New has di-
rected that an intensive educational
campaign be waged during the first
week in June to assure better MALL
ing practices and to divert to con-
structive channels millions now lost,
principally through carelessness.
The Department already has been
assured the cooperation in this en-
deavor of many of the nations
large mail users and OF business
civic, and fraternal organizations.
Twelve thousand moving picture
theatres will run the Departments
slogans urging greater care in ad-
dressing, and newspapers generally
will take part by disclosing to their
readers the extent OF the waste and
the way in which it may be
eliminated.

LET THE PEOPLE KNOW

One of the greatest problems
faced by growing industry in Amer
lea is the necessity for acquainting
the public with the reasons why all
branches of industry must OF neces-
sity be represented by larger and
larger units of capital.
M. S. Sloan, president OF the
Brooklyn Edison Company and
chairman OF the Public Relations
Section of the National Electric
Light Association, says that the
danger which the electric industry
faces in common with all other
American business, is the possibility
of outrunning public understanding.
1.-THE public must be given the op-
portunity to understand the intricate
workings of business and the goals
to which business men look.
1.-THE electric light and power in
dustry has made remarkable prog
ress in the last ten years. The
developments in our industry which
were considered startling ten years
ago are today nearly forgotten be
cause of revolutionary changes.
''In 1924 output of our companies
exceeded fifty billion -kilowatt-hours
and more than $1,000, 100000 OF
new capital was raised from invest
ing public for additions and ex.i
pansions. That is more money than
the steam railroads raised in 1924"
With all that progress, Mr.. Sloan
invited attention to the fact that tho
cost of current has decreased SO
per cent since 1916, although other
items in the family budget showed
an average increase OF 20 per cent
over pre-war prices.
1.-The fact that per capita use of
electricity has greatly increased and
that approximately 100000 new
customers were attached to lines OF
our companies during 1924 is best
evidence that cost OF electricity is
reasonable and within the reach OF
everyone"

GRIM FAIRY TALES FOR
YOUR CHILDREN
Written by DR.. d. S. Herben for
Maryland tuberculosis As


ISOLATION
Did you ever hear anyone make
one of these statements:
well, Bobby has to have whoop-
ing cough some time. He might as
well catch it from Susan Lee and
get it over with"
I'D rather have Betty get measles
while she is little than to~have her
catch it when she is older. 1t is
less dangerous for children"
These are some OF the grim tales
that are told by one neighbor to
another. You have heard them.
So have l. l wonder how many
deaths Of little children have been
caused by this attitude of parents to-
ward some of these ''children's dis
cases." measles, whooping cough,
chicken-pox, humps, scarlet fever.
etc ? l wonder if you know OF a
child who developed eye trouble, ear
trouble, heart trouble, kidney dis
ease, tuberculosis, tuberculous men
nights, after one OF the infectious
diseases
Did you ever rebuke people for re-
peating such tales by telling them
that in the United States during one
year there were nearly 1900
deaths from measles Did you
ever tell them that over 80 per cent
of deaths from measles occur in
children under five years OF age
Pneumonia and other serious condi-
tions often follow measles. Give
them these facts when next you lis
ten to such fearful falsehoods. Tell
them too that almost everywhere
whooping cough causes more deaths
than scarlet fever-and who does
not dread scarlet fever Tell them
that 80 percent of the fatal cases
of scarlet fever occur in children
under ten. These diseases are dan
gerods Tell them that children
do not need to have them.
Measles is highly contagious be-
fore the rash appears 1t is spread
by discharges from the nose and
mouth. Scarlet fever is probably
spread in the same way and may be
contagious, from the beginning of the
Inflammation of the nose and throat
until after convalescence. Whoop-
ing cough is also spread by secre-
tions of the nose and mouth and is
most contagious during it's earliest
stage, though it may be passed on in
it's late stages. Mumps is spread in
like manner but before the symptoms
appear.
1t is vital then to see that child
rem do not at any time exchange with
each other the discharges from the
nose and throat.
Help spread the truth about these
diseases and never tell Grim Fairy
Tale yourself.

TUBERCLIN TESTING BY AREAS
GAINING FAVOR IN
CLEAN-UPS

Wholesale clean-ups are rapidly
the Nationwide campaign against
cattle tuberculosis waged by the
State and Federal Governments.
The area plan OF purging a whole
county of TB. at one swoop instead
of proceeding on the hit and miss
style, or the herd-by-herd method
with which the campaign started, is
finding favor all over the country
because of it's economic merits and
other features OF speed, efficiency
and success.
Five hundred and thirty counties
are now actively engaged in coQn
ty-wide movement to remove the
last trace of the infection in the
cattle within their borders and thus
win for themselves the coveted
title and reputation of modified
accredited areas" To date 50
counties, representing IA States,
have achieved that standard of clean
illness. The most recent areas to be
added to the list, issued monthly l'y
the United States Department of
Agriculture, are Jasper and Potta-
wattamie counties in Iowa, Moore
Ind Polk counties in North Carolina,
and Barnes and Benson counties in
North Dakota.
The State of New Mexico is even
more aggressive in it's attitude to-
ward tuberculous cattle and is
planning campaign to test all the
cattle within the State so as to
establish the whole State as a modi-
fed accredited area. Several of the
State legislatures now in session
have provided adequate laws and ap-
preparations for carrying on the
area work. The New York Legis-
lature, recently adjourned, appro7
priated $2,OOO,0OO for the payment
of indemnities for .tuberculous cattle
condemned during the last six
months of this year. 10 is expected
that a like amount will be appro-
priated for the first six months OF
1926.
The gradual change from the
herd-to-he method of fighting the
disease to the more popular area
plan is indicated by some comparable
figures gathered by the department.
During February OF this year 49,
8l8 herds of cattle were tested
under the area plan and only 1882
herds tested under the accredited
herd plan. The number OF cattle
tested in the area work amounted to
3S9,S75, and the number in the
individual herd testing amounted tc
14S,495. From July, 1924, to and
including February, 1925, under the
area plan there were tested 1883,
6S6 cattle, while under the acre
dited herd plan there were 1,2S4,
927 cattle tested.

AN OPEN LETTER

To the Editors OF the County
Papers:
The Grand Jury, at the March
Term, had under its consideration
the question of gambling at carni-
walls in Cecil County and was fully
advised as to the use of wheels at
carnivals and the selling OF chances
on automobiles. After very care
full consideration of the whole mat
ter, which included the good pur-
poses of the firemen in the towns OF
Cecil County, the Grand Jury came
to the conclusion that the use OF
said devices and the selling OF
chances on automobiles must not any
longer continue and directed me to
see that its mandate was put into
effect.
l would, therefore, request any
person or association holding car
nival during this year not to do
anything which will be contrary to
the order OF the Grand Jury. /
would also respectfully urge upon
everybody that it will be useless to
try to sidestep in any way the law.
Very truly yours,
JOSHUA CLAYTON,
States Attorney for Cecil County

WORK CARRIED ON AT THE
"MIRACLE HOUSE,

MIRACLE HOUSE"
It seems pertinent at this time,
when the attention OF the Country
has been called to Child Health by
the National observance of May Day
as Child Health Day, to note the
work being carried on at the
" Miracle House," the Children's
Preventorium, located at Claiborne,
Maryland, and maintained by the
Maryland Tuberculosis Association
and it's affiliated County Organ
izations.
AS is generally known, this work
is supported almost entirely by the
sale of tuberculosis Christmas Seals
Thirty per cent of the gross receipts
of the Sale in the counties in the
State goes. to this phase of the work
Last summer, one hundred anc
fifty-five children were cared for al
the i" Miracle House." and it is ex
pected that more will be cared fol-
this summer; Most of the counties
in the State send undernourisheo
children to the Miracle House.
and it is readily seen that in helping
in this work, we are not altogether
unselfish since children in our COM
munity are receiving this Health
giving care necessary to prevent a
unless and unhappy life.
In order to obtain a more com
plete cooperation between the State
and its affiliated County Organiza-
tions, Mr.. William B. Matthews,
Managing Director of the State AS
Association, has been meeting with a
number of the County Associations
All the phases OF the fight against
tuberculosis have been discussed
and plans have been outlined in
order that there may be no over
tapping in the work done, but that
each Association would supplement
the other.
Very definite plans have been out
lined for the development of the
Preventorium, until it may become
one of the best institutions OF its
kind in the country. These plans,
briefly, are to build open air shacks
for sleeping quarters, that more
children may have the opportunity
Of receiving this helpful training
and care. A modern playground
with up-to-date devices, such as
children in more fortunate circum-
stances enjoy has already been pro-
vlded for. 1t is also planned to
supply the children with necessary
clothing while there, and to senc
each child home with a new outfit
when needed. So much sorrow is
brought to childish hearts by havins
to don the old WORKOUT clothes i:
which they were brought to tn,
Miracle House," to return to their
homes, that this plan has been
adopted.
The Miracle House" will open
for the season on June LIST, and on
Saturday, May goth, the Annual
Donation Day will be observed and
the general public is invited to at
tend the formal opening, due notice
of which will be sent out later.
Donations of every description can
be used, table and bed linen, night
clothing, china, glassware, food
stuffs. and everything necessary for
the house keeper that is not perish
able, and, OF course, cash donations
which will be acceptable and greatly
appreciated.

Seed POTATOES

Louisiana potato growers have de-
elared Montana seed potatoes to be

ing in the Louisiana Farm Bureau
News states that Montana has the
best seed stock for Louisiana cOndi-

a representative into the northern
states in search Of desirable seed.
Following is an extract from the
article: &c. L. Tiebout, extension
horticulturist Of the Louisiana State
University, gave an account Of the
northern potato tour that was held
recently in the states of Wisconsin,
Nebraska, North and South Dakota
and Montana. Mr.. TiebOut made the
trip in order that he might become
fully acquainted with the d~isease-con-
troll measures that are practiced in
order that the southern growers may
be protected. 1t was found that Mon
tana had the best seed sock for
