H*" ? t $carlet fover, scarlatina, scarlet rash and rash fever are nam oh fgr the same a ell to infectious and eon ! vtagious disease which usually pro vail* as an epidomlc, chiefly affect ing children between t)he ages of one and ten years. li rarely attacks infants, at least before the comple tion of tlie first ycai, nearly (M per cent occurring; between one and fivo, though adults may and do have it, and old Age is not wholly exempt. It is more to be dreaded .than small pox, a? H claims more victims among us and canno.t 'be controlled by vacci nation, and teequently entails such serious physical defects as blindness, paralysis, deafness and impairment of mind. These dcifcets which it frequently leaves behind, justly entitles it to Ik? considered one of tho most dreadful affections' to which childhood is ex posed, and should impress parents with the vital necessity of taking every precaution h> protect their * children against it. The invasion is usually sudden and abrupt. A child will complain . of pome -soreness 'of throat, tho tempera-: tore will rise, tongue covered with white fur, red at tho tip and edges; it will feel chilly, or look palo, and occasionally will vomit. Tho next day a scarlet rash makes its appear ance, most frequently -on the aides of the neck and upper pnrt of the should ers. Tho disease is sometimes so mild as not to compel one to go to bed, or even prevent them from walking about. The recognition of mild cases of scarlet fevel is often difficult, and when no physician is called in tho necessary precautions are not taken,) and children who have tho disease in an unrecognized form may go among other children while they are still carriers of the germs, and in this way r.ftnn spread the disease. Scarlet fever is communicated by the sick on some article which has boen in contact with them or by a carrier. The germs of scarlet fever are found in the excretions of tho nose and mouth, also in the discharges from the ear and from abscesses, and TAX NOTICE County T;i x.

The room should be kept pure, sweet and clean by wiping frequently the floor and furniture with a disinfectant as the bichloride of mercury or some of the chlorine compounds which are not un pleasant. Other children residing in the house should be at once taken -from school and not allowed to mingle with other children, to play in the street, attends church, public assemblies, places of amusement, ride in the ears or other vehicles used by the public. Do not allow them to play with or fondle cats or, dogs belonging to the premiseb where it prevails. Adults who reside in the houso >vhere there is a case of scarlet fever may safely continue at their work if the case is properly isolated. The nurse should frequently rinse ,lhe mouth with a weak solution of j ermanganate of nota'sh, and after handling, the patient bathe the hands in a like solution.

Handy Pock on your Dealer t Counter ?7 WHERE SNOWSL1DE TOOK TOM, Bingham, Utah, Said To Bo Narrow est and Noisiest Town i ? . -r Bingham, Utah, reported to be the victim of an avalanche, has been called the "world's narrowest town," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geo graphic Society. , "The copper-mining^community trails along the bottom tn a canyon for some two miles, and nowhere is the canyon more than about 50 feet wide. The serpentine street, lined with close built houses, is so narrow that residents can shake hands from thoir front porches with passing motorists. The motorists' chief diffi culty is in passing each other, and sometime* the unexpected approach of a car. from an opposite direction means backing for a quarter of a mile. "The natives' principal traffic prob lem is not concerned with the high way, but with elevators. To go home from the mines the miners have to use huge elevators to negotiate the hillsides. If the town had a public utilities commission it would be re ceiving complaints of crowded elevat ors rather than over-full street cars. "The town also might be called the 'noisiest town in the world.' Its day time hours are -punctuated by fre quent fusillades of- blasting from the nearby copper mines, and normally it sees a score or more premeditated avalanches. "The copper mines are located on an ore-streaked mountain, which is gradually being moved. It is spiraled hbout with some 10 or 12 tiers of rail road ? clinging to it-s sides like the spiral bracelets worn by a South Sea belle. "This mining railroad, with its little dump cars, requires its tracks to be moved every few days, as the blast ing d:g ever deeper into the moun tain sides and the tiny cars all day long busily carry away bit* of the giant knoll. "To watch this procedure is an amazing spectacle. Puffing locomo tives scurry around the various lev els, there is u warning . whistle, and all the miniature trains stop. Then comes a series of detonations ? a sort of miniature battle of the Marne. An avalanche, such as that which wiped out the little town in a neighboring ravine, comes roaring down with an ominous clatter. The smoke and the dust clear away, another whistle shreiks, and again the dozen or more tiny trains go puffing up t<> load their little cars with bits of the ore laden j mountainside. "The town of Bingham lies about IS miles out of Salt Lake City, and i> visited by thousands of tourists in sightseeing automobiles each -<um | mer. It may be reached by the Bing j ham and Garfield, and the Denver j and Rio Grande railrcads. The most impressive structure there i> the hos j pita'., which, if it is not wiped out, l row must be justifying it.-, size, uhich, I in normal times, seems too large for ! town of 3,000 people."

Program of the state highway department provides for approxi mately one-half million dollars for the construction of a bridge over P^e bee river at Cheraw just north of the Seaboard trestle. Under this proposed bill the coun ties of Marlboro and Chesterfield will purchase the land that would be flooded, and this bridge will be con structed in the form of a mammotji dam, which would furnish sufficient water power to ca.re'for all manufac- 1 turing enterprises in the Pee Dee sec- j tion. There is a point just above Cheraw where the banks are very high ami very close together and where there is a fall of 'several feet in the river and building the bridge at this point, which is near Orange Hill, the route from Rockingham to Cheraw will bo: shortened several miles and the route north will go through one of the most prosperous farming sctions of the state. - . This will perhaps revolutionize highway development in this section and will ultimately mean* that the people will own the most valuable of water powers. ?

Five per sona were killed and two serfoasly in jured tonight when a Seaboard Air Line passenger train struck an auto mobile at Oglesby Crossing near here. All were members of the family of | W. E. Fortson, who was driving the I automobile. Mr. Fortson told persons after the I crash that they were returning to ; Elberton, where their home is located, after a week-end trip. He said he stopped at the crossing to look .out for a local train which he knew to be due. Seeing nothing of the train, he said he proceeded on across the track when the train struck them. After striking the automobile^ the train, a fast Atlanta- to- Washington express, stopped and took aboard the drad and injured, bringing them here.

Recent improve ments include new and at tractive body lines ? a lower center of gravitv- -closed cars in color, and all-steel bodies. The basic features of Ford design have been retained. Three point motor suspen sion, planetary transmission, dual ignition system, 'torque tube drive, multiple disc-in oil clutch, splash lubrication, thermo-svphon cooling sys tem-all have been features of the Ford car for eighteen years. On the whole these features cost far more to manufacture than conven tional design but are used be cause of their superiority. The Ford Motor Company has carried out a program of price reduction that has con sistently kept Ford value su preme in the automotive In dustry. This has been made possible by the enormity of Ford production. With lesser resources. Ford quality would not be possible at anywhere near Ford prices. The tremendous demand for Ford closed cars has again made possible substantial price reductions.
