By Minn I.oui&e Nettle* Spring 1? Cominjt Although the ground hog gaw hus shadow trtj the second day of Febm 8ry anil ran back to his warm beii BfCtili.iing six weeks more of cold weather spring is coming and even now appears on the near horizon. The soft winds from the South are blow ing aiui awakening into new ll^e the flpw ts. trees and birds. A hundred diftVi.nt bird notes fill the air as their k;i.v wings flit from tree to tree, tjpsy with the Carolina sunshine. The peach trees are arrayed in their lovely pink blossoms with which the apple blossoms will soon mingle their fragrance, The greening hillsides arc eurpetcd with pink and white arbutus, ami the yellow crocus tips are break ing through the mould. Camden's I beaut ifui old fashioned gardens hav ! ? donned their spring time dress in the lovely Lenten colors of purple and gold. The fragrant violets are crowd ing out damp and pungent from un der their matted leaves and the jon quils and daffodils are reflecting the sunshine in their brilliant dresses of sunny yellow and soon the whole army of t'loweling plants in brilliant array will join in the festival of Spring. The pines wave their ever lasting green but they too are grow ing dark and bright as splendid emeralds in a new and fresh supply of needles and the stately magnolia again renews its polished leaves of green. "Oh winds! If winter comes, shall Spring be long behimt?" We can certainly answer that ques tion in the negative in Camden; the town of color, perfume and old time charm. The town of spacious gardens abloom with lovely flowers that are native to the soil".

Miss Hart, field representative of the national organization ot the American Red Cross, was in Camden on Monday. There have been many cases of whooping cough and chicken pox the past few weeks. Science has discovered a means by which diphtheria, that dreaded disease of childhood, can be controlled and ef fectively wiped out. This process corn sists of two parts, the Schick test, which shows whether or not a per son can take diphtheria, and the im munization treatment, which prevents those who are susceptible to diph theria from catching the disease. Here is a means by which diph theria can be done away with as safe ly and affectively as smallpox has been stamped out by vaccination. Since 1895 the use pf antitoxin in the treatment of diphtheria has saved the lives of many thousands of chil dren. Even now with antitoxin as an established cure for diphtheria, each year in the United States about 20,000 deaths occur from this danger ous disease. The economic loss caused by this destruction of human life is uotoldi More compelling is the pic t'ure of th?' suffering of the children, the anxiety of the parents, and. t ho darkened homes; and greqt numbers of children left to face lify with im paired hearts and kidneys. The in fectious diseases of childhood, of which diphtheria is one, are kidney conditions which appear later in life. Such a waste of hiitfan life ,and health is needless, since all children can be made safe from diphtheria. A sore throat may moan diphtheria. Have a doctor see the case at once. Time must not be lost. Prompt treat ment with antitoxin will probably save the life of the child. Unless the disease in detected at once, and the ?antitoxin Riven, the . cure cannot be as certain. People with natural im munity will never tatch <\ij>htheria. Children under six rarely have natur al immunity. From six months to fcix years is the danger period. It is not safe for anyone to assume that he is immune unless t6sted. , Certain plants under the action of ultra-violt ray will grow faster than in the sun.
