Dr. D. W. Daniel
Guest Speaker
Dike other features on the ladles'
Nlgbt program last night, Dr. D. W.
Daniel, noted after dinner Kpeaker,
was also "different."
Most of those present probably hud
heard him before, but he uguin inb
pi red with his eloquence and there
was an added sparkle to his wit ami
humor.
Speaking on the unusual subject,
Keys," Dr. .Daniel pointed out some
useful lessonB to the men and women
? who listened to him with deep Interest
after he had rocked the crowd
with laughter in the telling of numerous
Jokes.
He emphasized first the importance
of having the key of courage, declar
; jjt?S it requires more courage to perform
the every-duy duties of life than
was required for soldiers to "go over
th<* top" in the World War. He recalled
the Roman soldier who was
assigned sentinel duty at Pompeii and
whose; body was engulfed by the lavu
from Vesuvius. In the ruins of the
my the figure of the soldier was
.standing erect while others were
i t ouched in fear. Where the tirst
century left him the 18th century
found him.
Dr. Daniel said there should be a
key to open the doors to work and
the people should walk in. Too many
men, he stated, are wanting to leave
their footprints on the sands of time,
but are wearing out the seats of their
pants siting down and doing nothing.
He paid tribute to the humanitarian
work of President Roosevelt in
seeing that no one in America starved,
but added: "The time has about
come when the man who will not
work should not eat. Every man
should be doing something worthwhile."
The key of neighborliuess also was
stressed, and again lie praised President
Roosevelt for the mighty steps
he has taken in carrying forward his
policy of being a good neighbor.
"The more you know about a man,"
said Dr. Daniel, "the better you like
him, even if you find he is meaner
than you thought he was because you
know then he is as mean as you are."
The key to neighborllness is also
needed in the church, Dr. Daniel said,
this spirit of goodwill.
And the last key he emphasized
was the key to the open door of the
real values of life?the key that will
lead to development of the young peo
Pk- along right lineB.
He said what the country really
needs is real men and he closed with
an eloquent word painting of Christ's
influence which has blessed mankind
as has no other Influence.
Dr. Daniel was introduced by President
Gambrell, who said the Bpeaker
of the evening, the unanimous and
enthusiastic choice of the program
committee, came from the Mount Gallagher
community in the Fork seotion
of Laurens county and who was
justly famous aa an educator and
speaker.?Saturday's Greenwood In(lex-Journal.
"ATTACK
TUBERCUL08I8 FIR8T"
"Ph? greatest need for health action
is where the greatest saving of
life and suffering can be made," said
Dr. Thomas Parran, Jr., Surgeon General
of the United States Public
Health Service. __
Tuberculpsia comes first for it Is
the greatest of the public health foes.
Each year 70,000 persons die need
lessly from this preventable
communicable
disease. The
fact that in the past
thirty years the
. death rate from tuberculosis
has been
cut two-thirds Is encouraging
until we
find that it is still
the- greatest cause
of death in the years
16 to 45. Heart
disease for example,
the leading cause of death for all
ago groupB, takes Its greatest number
of lives In the older years, beyond
the age of 60.
The tragedy of tuberculosis is that
deaths from it means broken homes
i and orphaned children.
Thirty years ago the first seal sale
*as held to raise funds to start the
flght against tuberculosis. This year
the appeal is being made to every
* thinking and woman to help 1?
the war to wipe out tuberculosis before
the matt thirty years hare passL

No home in South Carolina is safe.

How To ('are For J|
: Your Holiday Plants M
Hlimuluied by tho fashion for using
j potted plums for decoration indoors,
: plants villi be popular gifts this year;
and niHiiy u family will And un Indoor
garden on Kh hands with the Now
The pleasure which such possession
1 cuu imparl will be grcuily Increased
j if tho plants uro given the Hlmplu
J euro Which will prolong their life and
j beauty. By a few practices which
are easy, even pleasant, lasting
' blooms and brilliant greens muy be
j assured for the maximum period with
! a minimum of replacements.
The best source of information for
the care of house plunts is the llorlsU
He knows, because he grows them,
und keeps thorn in perfect health. If
j you tell him the symptoms of un uil.
lug vine or blossom, chances are ho
can tell you in a minute what to do,
and what not to do in the future. Conj
suit liiin on problems tlnl't are not
covered in tin* few suggestions given
below.
First need of plants is moisture. - ?
I I bis means continuous ami regular
j supplies, so that the pots never com*
pletely dry out. With the oxcoptlon
of cactus and u few other plants,
this will mean daily waterings. See'
ond, is temperature. Although most
I plants will stand the hot atmosphere
] of our modern steam heuted apartments
and homes during the daytime,
they should be pluced in the coolest
part of the room If possible, and at
night the temperature should drop to
about CO dogrees. These are the important
things, and If you practice
them carefully you should have little
trouble with your plants.
Among tho lesser important prac- .. *;Ji
tlces are an occasional hath for foliage
plants which can bo reached
j without destroying tender parts. Liko
I the furniture, they gather dust, which
\ closes their pores and makes it dlffi,< 1111
to breathe. A good 'way to do
this is to put them ou tho basement
floor or a tray, und spray with cold
water, wiping oft the heavier foliage
with a soft cloth or sponge.
Turn your plants which uro situ
ttted- in a window, so that tho sun
will reach every part in equal proportions.
It is also best to place
them on the shaded southern side of
tho house, so they will not get all
of the direct sunlight.
Pests and diseases are seldom encountered.
When they are a-nicotine
or pyrethruin dusting, and an airing
and sulphar dusting should take care
of the pests, and mildew (about the
only disease) respectively.
