challenge to the best, as It has been
demonstrated that many of our dis
eased conditions are due to deficien
cy of certain vitamins, and many of
our diseases might be prevented if
proper food vas consumed. We loot
forward with pleasant anticipation to
wonderful results along these lines
in the near future. We are glad to
know that our State Board of Health
is intensely interested along these
lin«s, as is evidenced by their sup

ROSES AND THORNS ON THE
SAME BUSH
(Anderson Daily Mail)
Self-sympathy never has produced
any dividends and is a poor sort of
way to console one’s self. Frequently
it brings about a condition in a com
munity as well as in an individual
something like that which happened
to one of Dickens’ characters who was
always “waiting for something to
turn up.” In this case we have refer
ence to the evil of “marking time,"
belly-aching about conditions and '"o-
ing nothing to correct it.
_ Right now there is lots of pessimis
tic talk about the price of cotton, and
everyone knows there’s plenty of
reason for that talk, and yet what
does it get you ? Complaints are heard
daily about the unemployment situa
tion, but what good do they do, ex
cept to give birth to greater gloom
and more pessimism? There is some
justification for the hnrd timeo talk,
but what can it accomplish? Nothing.
Super-optimism is just as bad,
possibly a little worse. But even
rather negligible, in spite of the fact
that crops have suffered. The situa
tion has become so serious that steel
mills have been closed and other dras
tic measures have been taken.
Emphasizing the other fellov.’s
troubles isn’t going to help our own
situation to any extent, but it does
serve to minimize our own troubles.
Sympathizing with ourselves in our
trials and tribulations, instead of
working harder and harder with a
hope of overcoming oconomic disaster
and distress, is going to do little to
bring about better conditions.
A little more hard work, a little
less loafing on the job, a few more
smiles, a little more of honest and
Conscientious effort, will help. Try it

Reading of the "buy-a-bale” move
ment launched by Dan Moody, Gover
nor of Texas, one is likely to recall
or that popular song of 1914:
if I “Buy a bale of cotton, I’ve bought
let’s remember that the sun will
break through, if we give it half a
chance. The trouble with a lot of us is
that we want to sympathize with our
selves having a folish and idiptic i lea
that it is going to do some good.
And while we are aching about the
price of cotton, the fact that the mills
are not running full time, let’s com
pare our status with that of some
other countries. Not that the situation
is going to be improved because of
the plight of others, but even so it
and that is what is needed right now.
The day's news recently brought
the advice that eleven million square
neath a heat wave which has taken
more than two score lives in Britain
makes our
“Buy a bale of-cotton, it's good any
time.”
Tho purpose of Governor Moody's
proposal, made to the governors of
southern states, is commendable; the
plan should succeed, but necessarily
at 15 cents a pound for the cotton
thus bought..
The Dawson News makes the fol
lowing bold claim: "A new vegetable

could surpass the lowly “garden

staples for longer than we can re

The recent census shows the con
tinued movement of people from the
country into towns. A great deal ot
this trend away from the wide open
spaces into often times less desirable
crowded urban quarters is due to lack
of modern conveniences on the farm.
Household conveniences are found in
tho towns which make the work of the
home-maker lighter.
Running water, a kitchen sink, »
bathtub and Indoor flush toilet aro no
longer luxuries on the farm. These
things are essential and are not nearly
so expensive as might be thought. Af
ter a supply ot runulng water is made
available no housewife would willingly
go back to carrying buckets ot water
from the spring or turning the heavy
windlass on a bucket well. Not only:
is the house work lightened but the
watering ot stock and the work in the
dairy is made easier. When running
water Is put into the farm house a
small additional expenditure gives a
bathroom and water-flushed toilet
The evils of the outdoor privy where
flies breed and tho barnyard fowls feed
are thus removed.
The convenience of running water la
the home is not in Itself ot as much
importance as the Improved health ot
tho family. Tho health improvement
is due to the removal ot flies from the
open privy and the bettor protection ot
tho well and spring. Some ot the dis
eases too otteu occuring on the farm
are typhoid, dysentery aud diarrhea.
The polluted well or spring Is often
guilty ot spreading these intestinal dis
eases. The open privy helps to spread
those diseases and also causes hook
worm. Tho prevention ot one case
of typhoid in the family will save
enough money to pay for a running
water system and an Indoor flush,
toilet.
Sevoral things are of first import-
ahee in providing a* safe well or
spring. It muBt be realized that clear,
cool well water or Bpring water may
be highly polluted. Disease germs ara
too small to be seen except with tho
microscope and polluted water glvos
no warning by bad odor or taste. The
bucket well with rough plank or brick
box at its top is dangerous. Such

surface water carries pollution from
animal aud fowl droppings and from
the filth in the open privy. The un
protected spring Is also subject io,
tho same danger. Handling a bucket
pnd rope or chain and dropping it into
the well ts nothing short of rinsing
the hands into the well. Under ground
channels loading into the well must he
guarded against since these may con
nect with a source ot pollution many
hundreds ot feet away.
The safe well must have a Ught
concrete platform and curbing to pre
vent the surface water entering. The
hole through which the pump plpo
passes must be well above the ground
surface and protected against small
animals and Insects which seek en
trance Into the well. The same ap
plies to a spring. It a complete run
ning water system with a power op
erated pump cannot be Installed It
Is still possible to remove the bucket
add curb the well with concrete and a
hand-oporated pump.
The Indoor flush toilet will require
a septic tank located ia far as pos
sible from the well or spring. The
septic tank retains the sewage and af
ter breaking up the solid matter al
lows the liquid to pass out into Unas
of farm drain tile laid twelve to eigh
teen laches beneath the ground. The
tile lines permit absorption ot tho
liquid from the septic tank in the
upper layer of the soil.'
It a flush toilet is not installed and
the outdoor privy must be used it
should be ot the pit type. It must also
be fly proof. It must be frequently
repaired to keep boards from warping
or shrinking and opening holes for
tiles.
Bulletins describing and Illustrating
proper ways ot protecting wells and
springs, building septic tanks and pit
privies will be supplied to any per
