The Cool- idges expect to he in catno by the third week in June. * i — Suggests Method of Typhoid Prevention (By Dr. James A. Hayne) The purpoee of vacation is to pro mote health. Change of interest, scene, and habits of living all tend to influence faivorabty those mental and physical .functions that ere essential to a condition known as health. From the day when we send for descriptive circulars and time-tables and discuss the various routes, places and hotels to the day when we turn our faces « homeward, the exhilarating expectan cy and the trilling adventure into new and unknown comers of our vacation world should meaq renewed strength of body and refreshment of mind and spirit. But our vacation plans should be so carefully prepared that we may rea sonably expect sucji happy results a vacaf-ion plus, and not the tragedy of sickness which occasionally befalls the unwary and unprepared, and which would end in a vacation minus. Typhoid fever, perhaps more often than any other disease, follows in the trail of the vacationist, especial ly the motor-car travelers. There- fi-ra, if means have been devised to avoid the hazard of typhoid fever they should be consciously known and applied as guiding principles in our vacation plans. The germs that cause typhoid-fever are usually con- veyed through contaminated water, milk or f qjJ. This gives us our clue as to the care we need to exercise in order to be sure we are not unnees- sarily exposing ourselves to' danger ous infection. A ?afe rule to follow relating fc> waiter is to drink water only from known safe supplies. Most city supplies are safe, for chlo rination of public water supplies' is now almost universal. If you are out of reach of krv-wn safe water you should boil the water and make it safe. The only safe milk is pasteurized milk. If then you use cnly milk that has been effectively pasteurized you may reasonably be assured of safety from (this source. Food* are often contaminated by house flies' carrying infectious ma terial on their legs. At camp you need to make sure your camp is not located near an open vault or latrine, as danger from such source is very real through the medium of /the ub iquitous house-fly. In addition to thesff safe-guards that should suround the milk, the water and the food, every vacationist, espeubily the camiting vacationist, should be immune against typhoid- fever by typhoid vaccine inoculation. Your physician will give this'and will tell you that ithis first liAe of defense together wfith precautions relating to water, milk and foed will protedt you from the chief vacation hazard, ty phoid-fever. You may then be rea sonably assured of a vacation plus! Origin of “Brown Study” "Brown study" means a state of reverie, ibsentmlndedness, abstract meditation or Idle and purposeless mus ing. It originally came from "brown" In the sense of serious and gloomy, s sense which has to & great extent been forgotten. The earliest quotation which we have containing the expression "brown study" was published in 1532: “Lack of company will soon lead a man Into a brown study." The fol lowing sentpqre is in the Spectator: "My old friend started, and recovering out of his brown study, told Sir An drew that once In his life he had been In the right"—Pathfinder Magazine. “Do It Today* No one ever did anything tomorrow Every good bit of work has been done today. It always has been and will be so. The sooner yon start and make the mo*t of today the better for every body, and especially for yourself.— Grit Chief Executive^ Son ChaeHeed m Public John Adams, son and private secre tary of John Qnincy Adams, wbertlie tatter was President was the victim of a nose-pulling and face-slapping episode in the rotunda of the national capitol, a writer in the Kansas City Star recalls. Young Adams appears to have been extremely tactless, com mitting blunders that seem unpardon able today, and this conduct made him unpopular. Russell Jarvis, then editor of the Washington Telegraph, had supported Andrew Jackson in the campaign that ended with Adams’ election. Not long if ter Adams took office, Jarvis, bis wife and a party of friends attended i reception at the White House. John made an insulting remark about Jarvis In a tone that the Jarvis p&rty could hear plainly. They immediately paid their respects to Mrs. Adams and left A few days later, when John was de llverlng some documents to the capitol for his father Jarvis met him in the rotunda, boxed bis ears ip hearty, old- fashioned style and topped off the pun ishment by tweaking the secretarial nose. Representative Dorsey of Mary land, a spectator, parted them and John completed his mission; then hnr- rled home to tell his father of the en counter. There was an investigation that resulted satisfactorily to every one except John, no punishment being meted out to Jarvis. Sealing Wax Now Pat \ to Decorative Utee Sealing wax la perhaps less Impor tant Mian it was before mucllaged en velopes came Into use. but never was sealing wax so versatile as now, nor so useful artistically. Many a deli cate decorative object tliat appears to be enamel ware or carved and painted wood or colored glags turns out to be merely molded sealing* wax. Pendants and bends and artificial flowers, plaques and vases and candle sticks are among the objects beholden for their beauty to this material Molding It, many an untrained woman has done something In home crafts manship. , A lump of sealing , wax on the end of a eteel knitting needle melted ever a flame and cooled in a glass of water, shaped with a molder and decorated f| by melting in other colors becomes a handsome bead. A metal-rimmed pasteboard tag covered with warmed seeing wax and embellished with drops of wax,-shaped when soft Into bunches of grapes or flowers, become* a "drop" to flnlsh the necklace. Ear rings and pins and hat ornaments are made In the same way. Tallow From Trees In Sierra Leone grows the cream- fruit tree, the fruit of which has the taste of cream and is very agre^ble to the palate. In Ceylon there Is a breadfruit tree from which a type of bread la made. It is said to compare favorably with the ordinary arUjCle. In Sontb America we find a* milk tree and a tree that grows in Suma tra la known as the vegetable tallow tree. Probably the Eskimos wonld like to get this to grow In the Arctic regions, for the early Arctic explorers had a task to keep these people from devonring all their candles ss dessert after meals. Excellent candles are made from the berries of another tree which grows in South Africa and the Azores. Son Breaks ths Nsws On s bunt with bis small son a farmer shot at a hawk, bat missed.* A second shot brought It down. "Whatchs going to do with him, popT asked the boy. "Oh, 1 guess wa’U have him for din- ner," replied his father jokingly. On ths way to the bouse the hawk was dropped Into the pig pen unseen by the boy. They fonnd the minister at the boose and a chicken already killed for dinner. Dinner time came and Just as the minister was being served the boy piped out: “D’you know pop had to shoot twice to get this hawk?" OOOOgQOOOOCflfttttO00 010$ 00* Send Us Your Job Work. V T ‘V r- [ Thousands of dollars have been turned loose and many more will be paid by buyers to the cucumber growers of Barnwell CoUn- ty. Within a month, the watermelon crop will begin to move to the markets, bringing other thousands of dollars into the"county.* • : V a '• A large part of this money will be spent by the farmers for needed articles of wear- iiig apparel, etc. It may or may not be spent with local merchants. C-." Already too many dollars are going from -v r= Barnwell into the cash registers of the city merchants and into the coffers of the mail order houses. v V — WHY? : • . Because the city merchants and the mail order houses are alive to the value of adver tising. Several daily papers reach Barnwell every day. Every issue carries advertise ments quoting attractive prices on season able merchandise. Good roads make it easy for the prospective purchaser to reach the city stores: The mails also bring profusely illustrat ed catalogs from mail order houses. The postal facilities make it very easy for buyers to order their'goods. And all the while the local merchant fails to use the most reliable weapon at his command—his local newspaper. He is neglecting an opportunity that wilVcost him hundreds of dollars in lost trade - that has already cost him* many hundreds, nay,. thousands of dollars. • • • - . * The People-Sentinel offers advertisers a large county circulation. It also offers an advertising service prepared by experts, with up to the minute illustrations that are the equal of those supplied by big dailies. . These advertisements are suitable for use in r-—- - » a 'this newspaper or as circulars, aktiough the former is the best and the cheapest method of reaching prospective customers. Are you merchamts of Barnwell and ' Barnwell County going to allow the city merchants and mail order houses to get the cream of the trade this summer and fall when you have just as good merchandise at attractive prices lying on your shelves? "\ Unless you are a “moss-back" who pro fesses to believe that advertising doesn't pay, you will no longer neglect this ' opportunity of diverting at least a part of the trade now going to city merchants to your own stores. 1 . • ■ ’ ’ . .
