How to Avoid Contagious Dis eases. Avoid sitting down in the sick room as much as possible. Especially avoid sitting on the bed. Do not even lean against the bed, walls or furni ture. Wash the hands with entiseptic soap after each contact with the pa-1 tient. Exercise regularly, if possible, in the open air. Nurses should /wear washable dress es, which should be changed fre- j quently. A washable cap should cover j the hair. Keep so far from a sick person that his breath will not reach you di rectly. Above all, do not take his breath into your own lungs, as in kissing or whispering. Do not put to your lips any food, drink, dish or utensil that the patient has touched, or that has been in the sick room. Do not go into the sick room with an empty stomach. Do not eat or drink in the sick room. Wear no clothing that the patient! has worn just before, dm*ing or just j after his sickness. Keep the hands free from all dis-1 charges from the sick. If the hands are accidently contaminated, wash them at once with an antiseptic soap. If the hands are scratched or cut, put court plaster over the wounds. ?ever touch the sick with sore or scratched hands. If the patient be sick with any of i the eruptive contagious diseases, such as smallpox or scarlet fever, take every precaution not to come in con tact with the scales or scabs of the skin. Kill or drive out of the sick room all flies or other insects. Be sure to destroy all mosquitoes.-The Pro gressive Farmer. Woman and the Vote. Each generation finds the duties of woman different from those of the preceding generation, and the wo man who insists on living the life suitable to her grandmother neither gets nor gives the most. She is born in this day and must live in it. Within the last few months men have made us women their equal, politically. We are not equal in the sense of knowledge of political ma chinery because it is human nature to give little thought to those matters in which one has small power to move. It is but a question of a very short time, however, before these de tails will be mastered. As long as we women hold to a desire to serve hon estly and get the best government for the community in which we live, we can make few mistakes. Women look at matters quite dif ferently from men. Moral issues stand above those of business; and education has nothing to do with par ty. It is for us to read ali sides of each question as it arises, to consider it impartially and to give the cause or person support or otherwise with out rancor or bias as it is meritori ous or influences others that are. mei^are^expecting us to fly>"jf ? our-li-eat?s-^ Let pr-rfbf show that\we and foresight.

New York, Nov. 7.-Prohibition, like other great reforms, is moving! slowly, but in the right direction, and five years hence all traces of the saloon, save possibly a swinging! door, will be effaced, John F. Kramer \ federal prohibition commissioner, ] said in an address at the Young Men's Christian Association here to day. Liquor like other evils, he said, has had man in its grasp since Adam and Eve, and prohibition, the "most! radical principle ever adopted in the | history of the world" must neces sarily bide its time before lasting) victory. "Despite the fact," he said, "that more than $2,000,000,000 was spent! a year for liquor before the prohib?-1 tion law became effective, as an j economic question prohibition is no longer a factor, and the very indus tries that expected to be hurt by its j enforcement are now really profiting) by it." Mr. Kramer said the time soon will come when violators of the pro hibition law will be so few "they j will have shame for themselves and then-I will be out of a job." Notice of Final Discharge.

W. T. KINNAIRD, J. P. C., E. C., S. C. November 6, 1920. Serious Results from Colds. Colds not only cause a tremendous financial loss but are also a serious injury to every one who contracts them as they lower the vitality and prepare the system for the more serious diseases. It is not at all un-, TEN REASONS WHY I WILL JOIN THE W. C. T. U. Because it is distinctly an organi zation for Home Protection. It labors for the best interests of every home, for the protection of every hoy and girl and the welfare of future gen erations. Because it is a Christian organiza tion uniting women of every creed in bonds of common interest, thus giving to each broader conceptions of what others are doing. It promotes a closer fellowship and a unity of thought and action in behalf of uni versal welfare which cannot be over come by the forces of evil. Because it means to its members growth in Christian experience and service, thus helping - all to become better and wiser wives and mothers. Because its varied lines of endeav or offer unlimited opportunities for service. Each department of work presents to every mother an appeal along the line of community needs. Because" it had a large part in the education of public sentiment which resulted in State and National Prohi bition, and is equally competent to do as much for other needed reforms. It deserves my support. Because it stands for civic right eousness and the larger participation of women in public affairs. Because it fighs for the prohibi tion of the liquor and opium traffic in all countries and the eradication of drunkenness and other vices, which so often render futile the work of Christian missionaries in other lands. Breweries and distilleries pro hibited in the United States are be ing installed in large numbers and on an immense scale by United States citizens in Mission Lands. I will join the fight to stop that. Because the forces of unrighteous ness are united to set aside the 18th Amendment to the Federal Constitu tion or nullify its good effects by non-enforcement, therefore women to whom the integrity of the home and the welfare of the family make highest appeal should unite to main tain the supremacy of laW and make total abstinence the universal habit of the people. Because the work for great moral reforms cannot be done by the church alone. It must be done by leg islative and political as well as edu cational and religious methods. The W. C. T. U. may follow each line and is expert in all. Because the well defined plans for Americanization, Social Morality, "Chfi J"W elf are with the statesmanlike program of cooperation ir. behalf of world conquest for righteousness, Compels my respect and demands my support. To me the appeal of the W. C. TNiJ^to womanhood is irrestible. -Illinois SVatch Tower. WHAT LEONARD WOOD SAYS. Major-General Wood, in writing for the Metropolitan Magazine for November has the following to say about the Eighteenth Amendment: "There is no question but that the overwhelming sentiment of our peo ple today is in favor of prohibition, and that those who are looking for political assets in which to trade will gain rather than lose by standing squarely for the Eighteenth Amend ment. "There is, it is true, less activity at present by those who are in favor of prohibition than there was prior to the action by the states on the Amendment. This simply means that patriotic and law abiding citizens and organization support the enforce ment of the laws of the nation and that they have confidence that the Government is going to see that the Amendment is enforced. If there is any ultimate laxity in so doing, this same element will, eventually, take the necessary steps to secure the en forcement of the law. "There has been a great decrease in crime and in the number of ac cidents. More money is spent for ne cessities, such as food, clothing, etc., and as a result there has been a marked diminution in the demands for charity. Women and children are better taken care of. There is much less dissipation, and there has been no corresponding increase in the use of drugs, although this has been held as sure to occur. "From the knowledge of the ef fect of the steady use of alcoholic liquors we can expect, with confi dence, great eventual improvement in the physical and mental quality of the children to be born, now that these drinks are no longer available. We can look for greater economic efficiency, a continued decrease in crime, decrease in vice diseases and a better race physically and moral ly. These are results worth while." usual for people who have serious lung trouble to say "I had a hard cold last winter." Why not take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and cure your cold while you can. BT SAVED AS ; RESULT OF THRIFT IS I ~-^ PRODIGIOUS SUM Money Invested in Government Stamps Would Pay for Spanish War and Dig Panama Cana!. As a result of patriotic work done m the schools of the country the amount of money now invested in government savings securities ex ceeds the cost-of the Spanish-Ameri can War and the Panama Canal, ac cording to official figures recently compiled. The national debt was in creased approximately $300,000,000 by the war with Spain, and it cost about $400,000,000 to build and open the Panama Canal. The amount of money in Savings Stamps, the report from Washington shows, is more than $808,000,000. This is taken to indicate the steady growth of the thrift and savings movement in the United States. Much of the money invested last year by school children in the government's little savings securities was earned ' by them, and a large part of it probably would have been spent wastefully but for the savings socie ties which were active in eo many of the schools. In this federal reserve district, which embraces Maryland, the 'District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, there were last ses? sion more than 11,000 savings soci eties in the public schools. All of the normal schools in the five states were visited last summer by Miss Mary G. Shotwell, director of the educational division of the War Loan Organization of this district, and as ? a result of these visits thousands of teacher- were given courses in the teaching of thrift, the principles of which are now being taught to tens of thousands of children in the pub- ; lie schools. The savings movement is being con ducted in every part of the United States under the direction of the Treasury Department. It encourages increased production, systematic sav ing, wise spending and safe invest ment. To help people save, the gov ernment is offering Thrift Stamps, Savings Stamps and Treasury Sav ings Certificate is the big brother of Inga Certificates is the big brother of the Savings Stamp, and, like it, bears interest at the rate of four per cent a year compounded quarterly. In all parts of this state and throughout the rest of the district the boys and girls in the public schools, who are beginning to realize as never before the advantages of saving money, are reorganizing their, savings societies and clubs, and indi cations are that this session theywill . ojeyfiir betterISan'last year. RURAL WOMEN WILL ' HAMMER HIGH COSTS To Apply Wise Principles of Thrift | and Saving In Battle to Bring Down Prices. "Shackles or Shekels-which?" The question is being asked ap proximately 2,000 rural women in this federal reserve district, with the re quest , that they act as key women who in turn will ask it of their neigh- j bors. The query is put by the Woman's Division of the district War Loan Or- j ganization, which is establishing a more personal contact than ever be- j fore with the women who have it in , their power to render an invaluable j patriotic service in making thrift a , part of our national life. It is hoped to put squarely up to every woman in rural communities | the necessity for her to make a de- j liberate choice between the inde- | pendence that comes with money sav* . ed and wisely invested in such se- | curities as government Savings ? Stamps, and the unsuccessful strug- i gie with ends that never will meet, , when there is no systematic saving, j Splendid response and co-operation ? have already been gained from the i farm women reached, and it ls plan- ? ned to build the thrift movement here j this winter largely upon their help. Home demonstration clubs, rural j school improvement leagues, the fed- . erated women's clubs o' the state and many other organizations will take up ? again the systematic study and prac tice of thrift. Suggestive programs ? including an outline study of prob lems of finance, copies of the bulletin < on "Shackles or Shekels." model bud gets and other interesting literature will be used by them in continuation of plans that proved widely popular last year. Societies and individuals ?esiring to help in the thrift cam paign, who for any reason have not yet received this literature, are asked to write for it to Mrs. Eudora Ram say Richardson, director of the Wom an's Division of the district War Loan Organization, 809 East Main Street, ? Richmond, Va. Through their clubs and as Indivi duals, 30,000 rural women have been using these "first aids" to the prac tice of thrift. Figures and facts given out by the woman's division show that approximately $2,315,000 ; waa aaved from the clutches of the j H. C. of 7-.. last winter and invested I in interost-bearing Savings Stamps, largely through the activity of women ' td children in this district. : HAVE C??T TO TEE BONE Prices Smashed to Meet Your Buying Problems We have used the knife-not applied lotions, palliatives or hot water bags-but have cut deep to the quick.
