Dear Miss Moses: Referring to the item in The State of yesterday, rela tive to the subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan for Sumter county, same is misleading, in that it states that the * "country districts took little in terest in the campaign and only pur chased at all after persistent efforts of committees of town people." Ttiere are some exceptions to this statement. The communities of: May es vi lie, Dalzeli, Rembert, Ha gpod, Stateburg' and Wedgefield re sponded to the call with great patriot ism 'and generosity and but for their generous and patriotic response, it vfeuid have been impossible for us to" have gone over the top with our allot ment 3 feel that it is but justice to those communities to make this correction. j ' Yours very truly, B> J".

Prevention and Treatment The Health Department has given out the following informa tion' about influenza, including instructions for the prevention of the disease and. the care of cases in the households; THE SYMPTOMS OP INFLUENZAE Slight chilliness and warmth alternating. ... Dullness about the head and watery eyes. Sneezing and slight cough. "These symptoms demand immediate attention at the hands of a physician/'^t?id Health Commissioner Blake. "Go to bed at once and send for the doctor." FKEQTJENCY AND DANGER. Influenza is a serious disease. Those who have it should go to bed and stay there in the care of a physician until well. All un ? necessary exposure and exertion are to be avoided. - MODE OF SPREAD OF INFLIJENZA GERMS. The germs causing influenza are spread by the sputum and by the nasal and mouth secretions of influenza patients* convales ? cents and contacts, and perhaps by the dust of rooms and the street. The more frequent and the more intimate your contact with people the more likely you are to get the influenza germs in your mouth and nose, which are their portal of entry into the hu man system. Not everyone who comes in contact with the germs develops the disease, and probably a large proportion of those who have it are not seriously affected, though they may transmit it to I. others. \ PRECAUTIONS AGAINST UNNECESSARY EXPOSURE TO IN FLUENZA GERMS. Avoid unnecessary and unusual exposure to crowds; avoid those who are sneezing, coughing, expectorating or talking directly in . your face. Do not drink from cups or other utensils that have :' been used by others until they have been thoroughly washed. All unnecessary contact with influenza patients is to be avoided. PRECAUTIONS FOR THE PROTECTION OF OTHERS. Do. not t?lk^directly in the face of others. Cover your nose and mouth with a handkerchief in sneezing or coughing. Do not expectorate except into proper receptacles, which may be disinfect ed or which carry the expectoration on into the sewerc. Spitting on* the floors of public and private buildings, upon the streets and the like is a serious crime against the laws of health. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR THOSE CARING FOR 1NFLU - ' ? - *ENZA PATIENTS. " '. The attendants should wear over the mouth and nose a mask made of several thicknesses of gauze, inclosing a wad of cot ton. They should avoid in all possible ways coming in contact with the sputum. The hands should be frequently washed with soap and "water and an antiseptic solution and always before eat ing. The sputum is to be collected in a suitable paper or metal. container and burned or otherwise disinfected. All handkerchiefs and cloths used as such must be burned or sterilized by boiling or by antiseptic solution before being taken from the room. It is the duty of the attendant to keep every unnecessary visitor out of room. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS AGAINST INFLUENZA. Frequent cleansing of the mouth and spraying the nose and throat with some simple antiseptic solution, such as Dobell's So lution, or even washing the nose with water to . which a little common salt is added, are probably useful in preventing or in modifying influenza infection. RELIEF WORK OMANIZED. CENTRAL COMMITTEE APPOINT ED AND HEADQUARTERS ES TABLISHED AT THE GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL. The Relief of Suffering Resulting From the Influenza Epidemic to Be More Fully Systematized and An Adequate Force of Nurses to Be Obtained by Caling Upon All Mew and Women Who Can Do This Work. The relief work undertaken by the Civic League Relief Corhmittee having; grown beyond the ability of the force, enlisted to care for all the sick and to meet the daily increasing demands a meeting of citizens was held Sun day afternoon to devise ways and means to meet the emergency. After a statement of conditions and needs by Mr. I. C. Strauss, who acted as chairman, the situation was discussec generally, the object sought being to find a way to relieve the distress ex isting in the city on account of the epidemic of influenza. The meeting finally decided to appoint a central committe with full power to act and ?-0 establish headquarters at the Girls' High School building from which all the relief work shall be directed. This committee will carry on and supple men the work that has been done by the Civic League Committee in co operaion with those who have been doing so much to alleviate the suf fering in the city during the past ten days. The following gentlemen were named to serve on the Central Com mittee: L C. Srauss, E. S. Booth, C. G. Rowland, Rev. J. H. Wilson. J. W. McKiever, L. D. Jennings, H. G. Osteen. A committee was appointed foi each ward to canvass the city a: quickly as possible to ascertain how many persons are ill and in need ol nurses and other assistance. Another committee was appointed to canvass the business district tc obtain volunteer nurses who will b'. prepared to go on duty at once. Al of the merchants and other business men present agreed that they would give leave of absence, on full pay, to any of their employees, both men and women who may volunteer for thb service. It was brought out in tht discussion of the situation that men nurses are urgently needed, for to many cases the ladies who have been doing practically of the volunteer nursing, are unable to care for the patients, many of whom are delirious it times. Men nurses are needed ^nd any m?h who has the intelli gence to give medicine under the physician's orders can do this work sufficiently well to save lives in this emergency. The next most urgent need is nour shment for the sick. Many 'house keepers who are not in a position to ?olunteer to act as nurses can rendei nvaluable service by undertaking tc prepare a specified amount of nour ishment each. day. Another need is the transportation service?automobiles to be at the call )f the committee to carry nurses whenever and wherever they may be issigned by the committee, and als' :o collect and distribute nourishmen ander the direction of the committee rhose who cannot serve otherwise :an place' their cars and themselves 5r drivers, at* the service of the com mittee. The transportation servict lias been organized by Secretary Rear Ion of the Chamber of Commerce and tie will continue to cooperate with the committee. It was decided that in emergency case3 that cannot be cared for in their homes or boarding houses will be taken to Camp Alice, where two trained nurses are on duty all the time and additional nurses can be sup plied if the n?eed arises. At the re- j cjues of the meeting Dr. E. S. Bootn consented to take charge of the case: sent to Camp Alice. Dr. Booth stated that although he had been out of the active practice of medicine for more than fifteen years he would undertake this emergency work and devote as much time to it as necessary, it be ing understood that only such cases ais could not be cared for by the other physicians be sent to the camp:. American Winter Quarters in Rus sia. Northern Russia, Sept. 20.?In this village on the Dwina of the North one part of the American contingent, has established itself in barracks once ?atecupied by Bolshevik soldiers arid ba^s rapidly brought cleanliness to wooden houses which they found almost ankle deep in dirt. Now the :)lace is quite habitable. There are plenty of stoves and when a good supply of wood is brought here from the great piles of it stationed along the river banks,, the men will be snug for the winter. Isn't He the Generous Guy!

The first report from the country districts in financial support of the orbposed county health survey comes from Miss Etta Cox, a member of the tlembert Home Demonstration Club, .d shows that Miss Cox has collect id and turned over fifty dollars and twenty-five cents. If all of the ladies of the various township committees do this well the survey and twelve months campaign of education is assured. Dr. J. H.

L Reardon, Secretary Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Sumter, S. C. Dear Sir: I note with interest /our effort to secure for Sumu-r coun ry a rural health survey and twelve ri-onths campaign of education. This will be of incalcuable value as a .neans of impressing upon those in vttendance in our schools, and upon their parents at home, of the great .teed of maintaining proper physical oonditions in order to secure the lighest possible degree of mental ef ficiency. The offer of the International Health Board, and our own State toard of Health, and our own State 3card of Health, of five thousand dol ars should. wi*h the comparatively mall amount required from our -ounty, bring this matter to out; houghtful attention in such a way s to. make every citizen in Sumter ?ounty feel that the duty rests upon tim to lend every effort to see that he survey is secured. I congratulate the ladies of the va: ious townships who are serving oh he committees to assist in raising: ":he necessary amount required from the county, upon the attitude they issume in regard to this .important1 move for the physical and intellectual iplift ?f our citizenship. If I can be of any help to you ir >ringing this matter to the favorabh attention of our citizens, I shall be ;reatly pleased to do so. Yours very truly, (Signed) J. H. Haynsworth.

Ameri*an_ Aviators in France, epfcf? 30 (Correspondence of The As ociated Press)?Picture a dozen hug^ ?rpfanes standing in rows of three o our, their engines roaring and pro sellers whirling like mad., imagine th< rat-tat-tat of a dozen machine gun> )eing tested at targets and shouts o viators and mechanics and you hav( an. accurate first impression of th\ .:cene on the field of an American >ombing squadron about to start foi German territory. Over the broad sloping field bor Jcred by low trees, half a dozen othe iirplanes are wheeling in the sunny sky. The sun's rays are glinting fron their wings and the colors of theh insignia flash brightly as they turn and twist. A score or more of aviators pers piring in Arctic furs, fur-lined hel mets and boots hasten here and then while men in soiled and greasy khak cling to the wings of the airplanes tugging to be free. Nestling in the border of ^trees are tiny bungalow huts covered with branches or canvas to conceal then from prying enemy aviators. Half a dozen grotesquely camouflaged hang ars are scattered about the field. The airplanes of this squadron arf not quite the fantastically painted machines used by most of the pur suit pilots; but they are still rathe: kaleidoscopic and each bears th? humorously conceived insignia of a red colored devil within a white tri angle, who with one hand holds a white bomb, and with the other thumbs his nose sarcastically down ward?toward the Boche underneath With one of the observers The As sociated Press correspondent inspect ed the machines, now laden with bombs. The observer explained the intricate system of releasing each bomb in turn by means of trips, and at such instants as his desired goal appeared beneath him through an opening in the floor of his little cub by hole in the rear of the plane. He called attention with pride tc the tiny Iron Crosses on the wing: and fuselage of each airplane?mark ing the spots where shrapnel and machine gun bullets have torn peril ously near to pilot or observer or boih. and where the repairs have been made by mechanics who are jealously proud of the little insignia of narrow escapes. ?One of the machines bore more than twenty such crosses in one small part of the fuselage between pilot and observer alone. 3nd the conductor said with a laugh that it was great luck that no vital part of the ma chine had been hit. He told, nonchalantly and with modesty, of narrow escapes he and hjs fellow observers and pilots had had. One man had been fairly raid ed off his seat by a piece of shell that had penetrated the airplane from be neath.. Another had been wounded in ! feet and legs by shrapnel that enter ! ed the fuselage. He could have told ! such anecdotes for hours, but a sig I nal from the commander of the tamadron announced that it was near I time to start.

"I'd likV IP tel1 you." replied Bobby ?noVtestly, %only papa says I mustn't The United States Boys-^Working Re serve. When the labor crisis incident to the war arose in America, men began to seek for a solution. Trie question was asked: "Why not use a hitherto unused labor asset?boys sixteen years of age and over?" The question itT self suggested the real solution, the United States Boys' Working- Reserve was organized, and different branches established in the States of the Amer ican Union. Last April I was asked to take charge of the work as Feder al State Director for South Carolina. Since then we have been busy organ izing the different counties of the State. The State Council of Defense, appropriated enough money for the employment of a secretary and head quarters were established in . Sumter. The correspondence of this office is very heavy and is constantly growing. The letters issued recently have num bered from thirty to eighty-five a day. We find, that we have to keep up in terest by supplying intelligent infor mation and definite data. It was recently my privilege to at tend a conference in Washington. Forty-four States were represented and all of the information obtained ihere clearly established the fact that he United States Boys' Working Re serve is one of the most constructive forces organized during the war. Ev >ry delegate came away from that meeting thoroughly enthusiastic and with the desire to impart this enthus iasm to others. Since my return we have been re ceiving a number of letters from the bounty Directors and many of them are asking for information and also -or arguments to be used in. .inducing the boys to join the Reserve and joints to be advanced that will make .their fathers glad for their sons to oin this organization. I believe that the best way to reach these- boys and '.heir fathers is through the press ol our State and I am, therefore, writing* .his open letter. The press of the whole State has been.. exceedingly ."enerous in helping us to' promote his organization and we iare deepl> rrateful. Everybody in the State should feel 'hat it is his duty to do what he can o help his country in the hour of it lirest need. I believe that boys ire disinterestedly patriotic and, iJ hey are made to see that it is their patriotic duty to do anything, they will not hesitate to do it cheerfully .nd effectively. The government i.< iow calling upon all boys who arc ixteen years of age and over or who vill be sixteen before the end of this , ;chool year, to join an organization hat will give them an opportunity tc ender real service to their -country it a time when it needs the 3ervicf ?>f all of her citizens, as she has nev ir needed it before or, perhaps, wili wer need it hereafter. . Our big boys ire fighting abroad; but they can no: ontinue to fight, unless they arf laintained at home. Their mainten nce depends upon the labor supply-? ut there has been a great labor short ge and the situation has been and till is. very, acute. .Jji this, emergency he government is calling upon the oys of sixteen and over and we fee; ure that they will answer to the call, "or them not to do so would mark hem as slackers just as* conspicuous y as trying to avoid the military 'raft would have conderrned thei: rothers, who are now fighting upor he fields of France. South Carolina ? conspicuous for the small number ?f slackers in any war activity. The fathers of these boys need no hesitate; for I can confidently assure hem that it is not the purpose of the teserve to Interfere in any way with the educational opportunities of these joys. Oh the contrary, above every <ther consideration the Reserve >laces the conservation of the boy. The Reserye has no desire to transfer ?ny boy from his father's farm, un ess the father himself expresses a de sire for it to be done. The signing of he enrollment card does not mean hat the father surrenders any con ~n-ol of his son. ItAimply means that he father is wiHJ? for the son to join an organiaztioM that has for its purpose the successfoP?solution of a abor problem that is moire acute thanv it has ever been in the hiWoxy of our ,-ountry. It means that a* famer is patriotic and he wishes his son to how his patriotism in a practical and ?ffective way. The farmers need the assistance ot these boys. Just as soon as the schools were closed by the order o' he State Board of Health, the high .chool boys of our own town made ar angements to help the farmers har dest their millet and hay crops and hey are now rendering very valuable service. Permit me to say that onc >f my own sons belongs to the Re serve and he has not missed a day. -ince the schools were closed at work upon the farm. It has been a source >f great benefit to him and to the oth er boys in every way. I mention this >ersonal matter simply as the best evi dence of my belief in the righteous ness of the organization that I repre ent. The farmers themselves have fell that the assistance that these boys night' render would not be of much value. I shall very soon be able to procure and publish itatements that will convince any doubter of hi$ er ror. In the mean time, I beg that .he farmers will accept from me the simple statement that these boys can )e used to very great advantage and a trial will remove any doubts that they may now entertain. Our purpose is to enroll every boy in the State who has reached sixteen years of age or will be sixteen before the end of this scholastic year and with this force organized we can say; to the farmers and to the essential in- j dustries: Our boys are ready in an | organized capacity. If you need1 them, call upon them and you will: see by results that it is through this organization that you will find the safest solution to the labor problem that is now causing yon so much anx iety. You. of course, will have to ad just your schedules to meet the edu cational demands of these boys; for nothing shall interfere with their ed ucation; but surely you are willing to make some readjustments in order to receive the benefit that will come to you through this organization. The war has taught us as we have nev er been taught before the benefits of cooperation. If we shall cooperate cordially and intelligently in utilizing this hitherto unusuad labor asset, all of us will find out that the govern ment was wise when it sanctioned and supported the organization of The United States Boys' Working Re serve.
