PUBLIC HEALTH NOT EH ?> ?? ?' - -4 '? r Worthy Hugfeationn ux Offered by Min. Louise M. Brown ill** Laura Blackburn of the Ituicuu of Child Hygiene of tho State Board pf Health was in Camden re cfiitly. She states that South Caro lina )h now out of the registration area due to the faet that a large number of birth* are not recorded. The last statistics show that thi? state has the highest infant mortality rata iffr the country. The past year a great deal of work has been done to lower this high death rate but, as we are out of the registration area, South Carolina cannot get the credit for its improvement, A child needs a birth certificate as evidence when starting or leaving school, getting work, going to other countries, inheriting prop erty, marrying, voting, settling in surance and pensi6ns or when claim ing exemption from jury or military service, it gives a child his rights an a citizen, and it naves much trouble or .possible loss in the .years to come. 'Schools are opening again after the holiday} and this is the season when school < hiltjrcn have colds and mild cases of flu. if the child te general condition in good, he is leas suscepti bio t? infection. Sleeping long hours with the window* open, . drinking plenty of water, eating a nourishing diet at regular time*, and eyereise out of doors, all help .strengthen resist imri1 to disease. A child with a severe %t*old should have a complete warm bath and be put to bed, given a laxative, urged to drink water free ly, put on light diet, and be kept away from other children. If the child does uot respond to this .simple care, cull your family physician at once. During these winter months it is very necessary that school children j have a nourishing breakfast before! starting out for scHfcol. Some chil dren have to walk great distances while others must ride miles in cars or buggies. They cannot be expected to have active minds or healthy bodies when they start the day on a cup of coffee or a biscuit. W. F. Cleveland, of Kau Claire,, a Columbia suburb, has announced that he will be a candidate before the general assembly for the office of in surance commissioner for South Caro lina. YOUTHS FLAG T?AIN * *'?; Avert Wreck and Hay Be Rewarded By Railway Company Greenville, Dec. SO. ? Two unidenti fied North Carolina youths yesterday earned a ride home by flagging the Southern Railway's Piedmont Limited and possibly averting a serious wreck according to information given out here today. i in train from N*qw Orleans to New York left Atlanta on time, be ing due in Oreenvllle at 12:55 o'clock. Near Buford, Ga., two men were seen standing in the middle of the track, both of them flagging frantically. The train of ten coaches came to a stop and the engineer and members of the train crew jumped to the grouud to learn that a, split rail had been discovered i short distance up the track. ' Members of the train cjew rushed forward to examine the rail, being directbd by the two youths. After a consultation it was decided that the rail ^ould withstand the weight of the train at a moderate speed. The engine and heavy train went over at a slow rate while many of thk pas sengers returning from a season of pleasure at various Southern resorts, never realised how ^.narrowly they came to befog in what might Ivave be<n a serious wreck. The two youths, w^o said they had been in Florida and after being stranded, were walking to their home in North Carolina, were placed on board tho train and given free trans portation. It was said here today tha^ further recognition of their ser vices might be made by the Southern Railway, although the names of the two youths were not known to local officials of the railroad.

LEE LITTLE; MANAGER. CAMDEN, S. C. ? GOT HIS MILLION Ambitious s Youth Realizes Dream; Satisfied; Now Quits. Boston, Dec. 30; ? :Thtfrty-one years ago a 14-year-old apprentice mechanic I in the Depew, ^4. Y., shops of the New York Central railroad, told a little group of grease smeared companions that- when Hfe made a million dollars he would retire. They laughed and told him that with his ten cents an hour salary he never need worry over his million ? or his "retirement. ' But on New Year's day that apprentice mechanic will retire. He is Joseph S. Donovan, president and treasurer of the Donovan Motor Car company of Boston, an automobile distributing agency. He has made his million and intends to fulfill his promise. The promise was prompted by the sight of an old man .feebly making his way to an office where he hoped to amass more millions. He already had one million and Donovan resolved that that was enough for any man. The apprentice mechanic determined he never would allow himself to be come such a spectacle. He never wanted to be seen tottering after greater wealth in his old age. On New Year's formal announce ment of his retirement as head of his company will be made at a dinner of the employes. After that he intends to devot? himself to play, which in all probability will mean winter golf: in Florida and idle summers along the New England coast, with now and then a hunting expedition or a trip abroad thrown in. Beginning work at the age of 11, Donovan was in turn a drug store clerk, railroad car tinker, soldier, au tomobile mechanic, second hand m<JWr car dealer and sub-agency head. Ia 1912, he assumed control .of the agency which today bears his-4iame and from which\he drew his million. ? J. B. Stokes' Leg Broken. While walking on the Mayesvill? road late Saturday night Mr. J.
