^ N * ' VOL.^&?NO 49 " ~ ^ ~ CHESTERFIELD,'^^, THURSDAY"DECEMBER 1, 1921 " ' ? ~~ - > WILL BOYD ESCAPES . ^Vfll Boyd, who is charged with murder in connection with the death of Ganson and Relias Funderburk, and who was adjudged insane and sent to the Sthte Insane Asylum, made his escape Saturday night. Little is known here of the circumstances of his escape. A telegram was ^ received by Sheriff Grant on Monday stating he was at large and a letter followed which said he received aid from another inmate. If Boyd was not insanc when taken from the county jail to Coulmbin, he was certainly a good actor. If captured he will undoubtedly be, tried on the murder charge.

The Wor*h of Woman I wish I could say something that some of our women would fully realize the high prices you ought to set on yourself. Do you know you are one thing in this world that man wants most of all, man may give his * time and labor and money for other things, but for you he will give his soul; you are just that expensive? | higher priced than rubies and diamonds ; a deeper necessity than bread, a greater luxury than yachts and limosines. The cause of a more irresistible want than whiskey or drugs. The most valuable commodity in the market of the world. Why cheapen j vfrt..ro.,ir. ?' I uiyictmie yourseii. You .say you amount to nothing and that ! | it makes no difference what you do. ' Every woman is a battery yf electric j purpose, or might be. Every woman I ! is a ladder let down from heaven for some man. Every woman is a life preserver that may save some man' from going under in the Rea of dcs- i pond. Whatever else you may hear of the mission of woman, and of what she might do in the field of politics, or business, or art, the biggest business after all for woman, the most unbelievable of her privilege, Is to make men real men, and to make them sons of God. Make him pay not money nor flat- j tery, nor favors. These be cheap ! counterfeits, they mean nothing, but ' make him pay in truth and honor and I strength and loyalty and firmness. He I will then pay the price. Do you know j what you were put in this world for? It was to make men great. VAUGHAN Mr. John W. Streater of Chesterfield attended services here Sunday afternoon.

Being rained out last Sunday night the 9th chapter of Psalms will be used next Sunday night in the prayer service* selected by Mrs, L. J. Mor WHOOPING COUGH By A. H. Hayden, M. D. Epidemiologist, State Board of Health: Strange, is it not how fallacious and pernicious ideas still at this late day possess the minds of our people Take for example the erroneous ideas which even educated and otherwise intelligent people entertain relative to that most treacherous and fatal dis-' case of childhood?whooping cough. 1 WhooninB- romrVi ic ?> 11 r - wen known to all, but is, unfortunately,! considered by most persons a very, simple disease of childhood which in ' their opinion, does not require the at- J tention of a physician. This, however, is not the case, as whooping cough with complications 'is a very fatal af- 1 . fection, ranking first among the acute infections as a cause of death in children under five years of age." The : earliest and most serious considers- ^ tion should be given patients attack- , ed with this disease, and it should be isolated and quarantined as rigidly as any disease I know of, for its effect is as fatal and serious conditions suf- . fered after the disease is as numerous 1 and as severe as can well be imagined. Among the complications and af- I ter affects of whooping cough may be mentioned hemorrhages of various kinds, death from spasm of the ' throat, convulsions, hemorrhages of the brain, rarely paralysis, marked ? wastings of the body, numerous and varied diseases of the lungs which are ( extremely serious and are responsible for 9 out of 10 deaths due to this' I disease, asthma, serious and offtimes permament, heart troubles, tuberculosis, etc, "It causes moj-o deaths than FOR Vi Owing to the the Chesterfield E other consideratic said Dry Goods bi the post office, w Mond i i Offer th F.nti re* _ - ?w ?* ?

The contageousuess of the disease persists probably for a long time hence the importance of an early diagnosis and effective quarantine for the proper length of time for all persons suffering with this most dangerous disease, i If we do not wish to have our children suffer from this dreaded disease ( we must bring them early to competent physicians for the earliest diag- 1 nosis and prompt treatment and aid > the heakh authorities in their eiforts I to prevent the disease by giving them our hearty and fullest co-operation.
