A TTJBEKCriiOSIS CAMP. E. I. Reunion Tells of Necessity of Educating People Concerning Dis? ease. The establishment of a county tu? berculosis -amp, ar d the reporting of cases of tuberculosis during their In clplency are unquestionably very de sirat'.d for the treatment of patients, and ab., to a large extent to safe? guard the public health. Treatment of tuberculosis is important and hu? mane, the segregation of all com? municable diseases within reasonable bounds is a.mo of vital importance. But head and shoulders above the reporting, treatment, and Isolation of tuberculosis, and all ? other diseases, communicable or otherwise, is the ed? ucation of the masses of the people as to how to avoid contracting and com? municating diseases to others. i An ounce of prevntion is always worth more to the individual and to the public than many thousands Hinds of cure. The safeguarding of the public health is really the main reason for Isolation of tuberculosis, and quaran? tine of all communicable diseases, the individual suffering being, to a large extent lost sight of in the desire to protect the public health ihruu?n spread of communicable diseases. But narrowed down to its original analysis am common sense view it is the individual responsibility to take care of your own health in order to safeguard other people's health. The protection of the public health begins with the protection of the Individual's physiclal condition necessarily. Education of the masses of the Ignorant as to the best me?' ds of protecting their individual health in order to avoid contracting of com munnicable diseases will do away with thousands of cases of tuber? culosis, typhoid fever, diphtheria, hookworm, malaria, dysentery, and other diseases spread through ignor? ance of the necessary precautionary measures. Hence the importance of a county or unit health survey to educate the masses how to protect individual, fam? ily, and the public health. Education of tho masses along thin line will also tend to educate the peo? ple to the importance and objects of 1 county tuberculosis camp, because x well educated or even a partly edu? cated county of people, taught the value of protecting individual and public health will naturally create re? cruits for the tuberculosis camp ad? vocates, while at the same time re? ducing recruits for the tuberculoiU camp. The advocate of a tuberculods camp will get elosyg to the realiza? tion of their dream by advocating the county sanitary survey, which will so stimulate Interest in Improvement of sanitary affairs of the county that this Interest and information will result in the majority of the educated peo? ple backing up the preventive meas? ures as well as the curative methods of the isolation or tuberculosis camp. MRS. REMBERT TALKS TO DOC? TORS. District Convention to Meet In Sum tcr in Near Future?Papers at .he Meting.

She urged the establishment of a county camp for patients and other sanitary measures in waging war on the disease. Mrs Remiiert's remarks were heard with Interst and association indorsed her proposals. Interesting papers, one on the "Milk Supply of Sumter" by Dr. Archie China, and one on "Acldosls" by Dr. H. A.

The Progressive Farmer. Misled by the glamor of 20 cent cotton, there is grave danger that many a Southern farmer will stake his all on this ono crop?forgetting that cotton, compared with other commodities, is not really high priced; forgetting the need for living at home first of all; forgetting the great les? son that soil fertility must come find in successful farming. By spring, corn will probably be selling for $1*10 a bushel, flour at $12 a barrel, hay at $2fi to $30 a ton. Cottonseed meal and acid phosphate are soaring, and potash fertilizers in quantity can not be had at all; conse? quently every farmer who expects to get his soil fertility in seeks is going to have to pay dearly for it. Shoes and leather goods of all kinds are higher than this generation has ever known; Implements, wire fencing ami nails are high and apparently going higher. All In all. then, cotton, relatively, is not high, True ,it is now 50 per cent, higher than the standard price of recent years, but practically every thing else we eat, wear, or otherwise use Is also GO per cent, or more high er. This being true?and any ma with his eyes open knows that it If true?where there is a particle o: logic or common sense in rushing pell mell Into all cotton'.' Whether cotton Is high or low, fo. the cotton farmer anywhere in the South we have consistently held that j there is one and only one sound, safe plan, and that is to provide for food, feed and soil fertility first, and then raise what cotton he can on the acre? age not devoted to this live at home crops. This means? 1. A good garden, plenty of Irish and uweet potatoes, cane for syrup, fruit trees, a big bunch of producing hens, some good cows to furnish plenty of milk and butter, plenty of meat hogs, and corn and wheat for bread. 2. A first class pasture to furnish grazing for the chickens, hogs, cattle and horses, a good acreage in cats followed by peas or beans to furnish cheap fed next summer and fall, and an abundance of corn and peas or beans to insure us against having to buy feed another season. :?. A legti me crop on every acre every year, to build up our lands and j save fertilizer bills. It is of course too late to put In next spring a big acre? age of peas, soy and velvet boans, J and peanuts. Then next fall let ik; begin With crimson colver and use It j hereafter as a green manure crop to plow under next spring for our corn. Which shall It be for you.

The figures given on the tag attached to a sack of feedstuff are not a reliable indicator of the real feed nutrients which an animal may obtain from this feed. These tags give the total content of pro? tein, carbohydrates and fat, but do not tell what percentage of each nu? trient is digestible.
