for this purpose only. Enumerators
and employees of the census bureau
are liable to severe punishment if
they divulge any of the information
collected about any individual.
Meet the census-taker courteous
ly. You will save time for yourself
and render the government a great
assistance by cooperating with the
enumeratOr when he arrives at your
home.
If you do not have exact informa-
ton about such questions as the
value of your home or the ages of
the members of your family, give the
best estimates you can.
The woman in the home" should
study the census questions in ad-
vance to find out the answers to
those she may not know, for she is
the member of the family who will
be mostly probably called upon to
answer the inquiries.
Persons living alone should fill
out promptly any individual blanks
left by the enumerator who may
have called in their absence, and
families away from home on visits
should be careful to see that they
are counted in the district where
they maintain their usual place of
abode"
Do not hesitate to ask the census
taker to show his credentials if you
suspect he is not bona fide enum-
eratOr ImnOsters have sometimes
masQueraded as census-takers in or
der to collect information for pri-
vate purposes or for other reasons.

tion of the three counties and collect
data concerning diphtheria, infantile
paralysis, scarlet fever, typhoid
fever, smallpox and tuberculosis.
This information will be checked up
with the records in the State Board
of Health office here. If it is found
that at least rs per cent of the cases
have been reported, the State will be
entitled to registration nationally.
DR.. Jost considers the matter of ma
tional registration as important and
is hopeful that enough cases of the
diseases named have been registered
here so that the State may win this
national registration.
A checkup on roadside stands
where food and drink are served and
sanitation provided for motor trav-
elers will be started soon, DR.. Jost
said. Last year this work was done
by the county health units, but this
year the county physicians are too
busy with other health matters to
devote the time necessary for this
work and therefore, it will have to
be done by extra inspectors employ
ed for that purpose.
DR.. Jost conferred with Gamers this
week relative to regulations for the
industry. Inspectors of the can
neries have been made and the State
Board of Health has adopted certain
standards for the proprietors to con-
form to. An effort will be made this
year, DR.. Jost said, to enforce these
regulations as the cannery proprie-
tors have had years notice of the
regulations, and sufficient time to
make any changes in the plans that
are necessary.

THE PRESBYTERIAN
FAMILY NIGHT SUPPER

The Presbyterian Family Night
Supper which was held Thursday
evening, was an enjoyable occasion
The Junior Boys" class, of which
Alfonso Humes is teacher, choose
the month of March for entertaining.
Mr.. Humes' versatility includes eX-
ecutive ability which was clearly
shown in his choice of chairmen.
Mrs. o. D. Ackerman as chairman of
the supper committee, maintained
her reputation for efficiency. Her
skill makes a successful menu a
foregone conclusion. Miss Lena
Short, as chairman of entertainment,
revealed her discrimination in
choosing talent.
The concert following the supper
was appreciated. The trio of musi-
clans presented a remarkable pro-
gram. Mrs. Clyde Nelson's appear
ance as soloist, is always greeted
with applause and especially by a
Presbyterian assemblage. Following
is the program:
Miss Emily Vinyard, pianist; Mrs.
Harry Humes, cells; Mrs. Clyde
Nelson, violinist.

EPIDERMOPHYTOSIS

If you want to have it all over
your friends who keep Dragging
about their ailments, just tell them
that you have a case of "epidermo-
phytosis." It's the very last word in
"chic" diseases-the latest fashion
from Paris or somewhere. 1t may
take some time for you to learn how
to rattle this word off quickly-but
it's time well spent. Spring 1t on
your club, at a bridge meet-any-
where where people complain OF
their feet hurting-and you will
make people rear right up and take
notice. Even many of the doctors
haven't heard of it.
It isn't in many of the dictionaries
yet. "Epidermophytosis, an acute ex-
citation of the skin-part1cularIy OF
the feet-accompanied by vescicles
or small pustules, followed by desic-
cation or dryness, itching and burn
ing" This is about what the d1ction-
aries will say about it.
The cure of this trouble is mat
ter which requires more knowledge.
The first thing to do is to change
stockings daily and give them the
air and the sun as much as possible.
Shoes should have the same treat
ment. Shoes worn on one day should
not be worn the following day but
should be given a chance to air and
dry out. Leather is one of the best
known hotbeds for such bacterial
germs. Swimming pools and bathing
beaches are a source Of infection.
So wear sandals.
The feet, the stockings and also
the inside of the shoes should be
sprinkled each day with a mild an
tiseptic powder, such as baking So
da-which is always handy. This
tends to dry up the vesicles and pre-
vent the infection from spreading.
Frequent treatments by DR.. Sun
should do the rest.-The Pathfinder.

age them by word and deed. We are

The district superintendents as
sert that "the changing conditions of
rural life are seriously affecting the
religious situation in the Whining
ton Conference" They suggested a
thorough study of the subject, look
ing toward the making Of adjust
ments in keeping with the changing
demands" Consultations Of some
charges may be necessary.
The report sets out that there are
only twenty-one conferences out Of
the ninety in America paying a
higher annuity rate for conference
claimants than the Wilmington Con-
ference is paying. The commission
and Conference Endowment has ap-
proved the recommendation of the
field secretary that there be no paid
field secretary next conference year,
and that the collection of amounts
still due be left in the hands Of Su-
perintendents, pastors, and quarterly

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
HAS NEW STATE LEADER
rCont;nued from Fir,t Paael

[COntinned from First Page]
on Mr.. Vining and the Delaware
league.
Mr.. Crabbe said recently that he
had been trying for ten years to
have the Delaware leagues activi-
ties in Delaware severed from the
Maryland league so that he could
devote all his time to Maryland.
The change was advocated be-
cause the Legislatures of the two
states meet simultaneously, and it
was impossible for Mr.. Crabbe to
give both Legislatures the attention
which he believed they deserved.
Severance of Delaware and Mary
land into two separate and distinct
districts will, it is stated, result in
an increase of "dry" activities in
both states.
Members of the Delaware Anti
Saloon League will meet probably
next month in Dover to effect or
ganiZation.

WHITE HOUSE TABLE GROANs

The White House grocery bill for
1929, according to the Washington
News, totaled $4,000. The reason is
that the Hoovers are doing an unus-
ual amount of entertaining. Break
fast is seldom set for less than eight
and sometimes there are two score
dinner guests, even on evenings
when no formal function is schedul-
ed. Both President and Mrs. Hoover
like to chat at the table, and meals
are so stretched out as to actually
make them political and intellectual
salons instead of merely gestures of
entertainment and favor. The small
meals are served in the private din
ing room and the large ones in the
state dining room. The woodwork of
the latter was recently cleaned and
waxed. A composition tile floor has
been installed in the once again pop
ular kitchen.-The Pathfinder.
