Life Saving With Soap and Water At this season of the year when ill ness abounds, the woman who must care for some sick member of her iam ily does well to bring at least OI10 GlcJ— went of hospital treatment into her lat is the fundamental and inexpensive one of cleanlines. The modern hospital, we are told, depends almost as much upon cleanli ness as it does upon medicine or sur gery for its excellent results. Its star ched white nurses and internes, its spotless floors and fixtures, are not merely to inspire the patient and awe visitors. They are a matter of routine for he protection of all concerned. Cleanliness is part of the cure. Ana this applies to the patient, the sick room. and he home nurse herself, whose contact with the other members of the household must be rendered safe. Odorous disinfectants are rarely called for, since soap and water and sunshine are recognized as adequate, if not sup erior, in most cases. “If you remove cleanliness and the mechanics of cleanliness from the modern hospital you will go back a hundred years” says Doctor C C Bur lingame, executive officer of New Yorks gigantic new Medical Center. “There is a definite relation between cleanliness and health just as there is betweer. mental and physical health. Although dirt and bacteria are not necessarily synonymous, cleanliness goes hand ir. hand with a sterile technique, or s method of preventing bacteria trow coming into contact with individual.” Handwashing is one of the essential precautions to be observed by the at tendant of a sick person. Wash the hands thoroughly with soap and watt, before and after any contact with Ihi patient, is he advice f doctors anJ nurses. “Before we knew that bacteria were the cause of disease” says Doctoi Burlingame, “we knew that the ordin ar.v u.-.e oi soap and water was an im portant factor in the treatment oi hospital patients. Certain hospital: formed the habit of cleanliness, and thi surgeons made a practice of wa.shin, their hands frequently. It was observ ed that these groups obtained bette surgical results through ordinary per sonal and institutional cleanliness.” Card Of Thanks We wish to express our sincere thanks and appreciation to our friends and relatives for their kindness and words of comfort in the sudden death and burial of our dear mother. Also for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. 8. C.

The belt recently put to work in a paper mill, pulls with the force of two locomotives at the rate of 448 miles an hour It is 76 inches wide and 100 feet long. It was constructed of 450 pieces of leather laid together in four layers and cemented under hydraulic pressure of 300,000 pounds, the report received here stated. To install it a pull ot 30,0' 0 pounds had to be exerted to draw the two ends up to the proper position for cementing. “One-Eyed” Automobiles There is probably nothing more dan gerous on a highway at night than an automobile with only one light, and in-' variably the light is on the right side of the car. Of course, the law requires that two lights be displayed on the front of every automobile, but it is im possible to enforce such a law without officers. There are always those will ing to take a chance driving machines with only one light, and few of these ever stop to consider that they aie en dangering not only their lives, but the lives of others in automobiles ap proaching from the direction in which they are headed. The road patrolmen would not be sent out to “nab” speeders, for it is realized that the speeding auomobilo, when properly handled often is the least dangerous type on the roads. But these who drive with only one light, pass other cars on curves and when approaching the high points of grades and generally fail to conduct them selves in such a manner that others are trot placed in jeopardy would be prey for the patrolmen. We believe that establishment of such a force would go a long way toward cutting down the death list from automobile accidents a list which is assuming tremendous proportions in Minnesota. —St. Paul Progress. Uncle Sam Printers The Red Wing, Minnesota, Republi can said editorially November 12, 1928 “Uncle Sam’s Post Office Department, which it is estimated will have a defi ;it of $100,000,000 during the present fiscal year will continue in the business cl competing with local printers in the furnishing of printed envelopes, having ■ecently awarded a contract involving aore than $15,000,000 in this connection “This means that one concern will have a monoply of this amount of gross .usiness, a large portion of which wiil be diverted from country publisher who ire practically the only class of busi ness men with whom the government ompetes in this manner. “The injustice of this practice is all the more marked because the printing s done for an additional charge of only l few cents a thousand over the cost of he plain envelopes - _ a charge sc mall hat it covers only a fraction oi lie cost. The envelopes alone are pne d higher than necessary in order t< over a portion of the loss on the print ng but the customer thinks he is gett ng a bargain because of his juggling i price quotations. “Having be<”Vof this unfair impetitlon lot hall ft century, it .ttle wonuer wxar country editors are practically a unit in opposition to gov rnment operation of business enter prises. All fair-minded business men culd assist the National Editoria Association in its efforts to eliminate this Socialistic and un-American prac tice. “There would be as much justifica tion for operation of retail stores b the government as there is for the re tail sale of printed envelopes in cum petition with local ^printers."

Inner cubes .re used in the manufacture of sun senders and small rubber articles of al! descriptions which may be cut dir ectly from the more or less damaged sed tubes. The latest use of scrap in France, the eport states, is the use of the pneu. .atic casing in the shape of cheap soles for inexpensive shoes. After the nec ssary process of lattening to give the old casing the proper surface for a snoe sole they are cut into soles, thus yield ing a sole with three or four thickness es of card inlaid with rubber. It is re ported that such soles offer excellent and inexpensive substitution for the more expensive cord or cheap leather soles utilized heretofore. Inquiries in the trade elicit the fact tha whereas American offers of inner tubes are frequent and purchases are large, offers of used casings from the United States are seldom received and when received the, prices are above those quoted by scrap dealers in Great Britian and the Netherlands.

No other article of clothing has changed so radically. T 1 :> r scorns to prove quite conclusively that .men love the better comforts of modern ’ife and like the idea of wear ing fashionab le hosiery. e ^ Atlanta Cops Clubs Are Skull Crackers Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2. (GPS).— Look out for the new clubs of the Atlanta cops. They're skull crackers beyond a doubt. But did you know that the wood out 3f which policemen’s clubs are made in Atlanta and elsewhere in the South are nade comes into the country in xuli shiploads? Well, it does. The docks of the Bu.-h terminal,’ in Brooklyn, N. Y. according ;o Atlanta’s cops, receive ship after hip from the West Indies loaded with ignum vitae - - the hardest, heaviest vood obtainable - - which is shipped rom there to the factories where night ticks are made for Atlanta policemen The wood is so heavy it will not lioat ir. water. Merry War of Skips The United State Shipping Board has nit the trans-Atlantic liner “President losevelt” into he New York-Havana ervice, and Uncle Sam’s ship-masters propose to show John Bull that they esent the assignment of the Cunard iner "Caronia” on he New York and 'avana route. It is another case i; /hich the United States has thought it dvisable to put up a “keep off the rasa" sign where Europeans may ce it. Kingsland Building For 1928 Increases Building activities for Kingsland is on a steady inerts se as is shown by the building permits for the year 1928. The largest of these was a new home of the Kingsland Motor Company at a cost of $12,000.00; Mr S C Sheffield two stores at a cost of $7,000.00; Four stores of Mrs W C King at a cost of $0,000.00 all of Itesc are of brick and eoncrete construction with plate glass fronts. One residence of Mr. Mose Stlenfield at a cost of $2,000.00 and city street improvement of $3,000,00 making a total of $30,000.C). There has neverbeen any mushroom growth of Kingsland, but the records show that a steady increase and pro gress is being made each year. Cost of Shipping By Inland Waterway Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2 (GPS).—The cost of shipping goods by inland waterway i.i more expensive, not cheaper, th< railway transportation, if all charges properly attributable to barge line ser ce are considered it was announced today by railway executives following an analysis made by freight rate e.c. p fer j g Moreover, ' the executives further pointed out, the question as to whether freight can be handled cheaper by land waterway th:jn by railway is com plicated by the n< mssity of making a. lowances for differences in the charac ter of the service rendered. For exam ple, it was shown, the Mississippi-War rior River Barge Line owned and oper ated by the go\ eminent, transports package freight ftom New Orleans to St Louis in 12 days. The compleLng railways it was stated transports it be tween the same points in three days. Obviously, the executives show, it would not be fair to compare the cost of the two means' of transport. The railways are faster.

Treaty Out of Danger The holiday period developed the fact that the Kellogg peace treaty will be ratified by be Senate Tire question of saying what the treaty means, in “interpretations,” does l.ot seem to disturb the friends of tin treaty since nothing contained in the suggestions would change the meaning of the trea ty. The chances are that these “interpretations” will be rejected by the Senate, as useless. If they are accented the purpose will be to prevent future misunderstandings. Falling for Fashion A Literary Digest poll is a modest attempt to analyze public opinion when contrasted with a modern indus trial survey carried on by Government direction with the aid of trade associa - tions, manufacturers, school teacher.: and club folks - a sort of “full house” (fiat represents every activity of human life. The industrial "survey” furnishes a method by which the heart throbs W the texile pulse have been counted, and Edna L. Clark reports for the Bureau of Home Economics of the United Sta tes Department of Agriculture that thousands of America’s women have told the fact.finders that they are wear ing more rayon and more silk, and less cotton than in any former time. 3ut the survey shows that cotton is ing its own and it indicates that wo men still live Old King Cotton, but that they dress in the richer textiles so that they may keep in step with tho new and better styles made possible by our newest textile.

Georgian Ads Pay AARON BURR ON ST. SIMON ISLAND Aaron Burr Once Visited The Town Of St. Marys By Dolores Boisfeuillet Colquitt On the north end of fit Simon Island on the coast of Gccngia a short stroll from a roadway brings one to an a bondoned ancient chimney, massive and unique with its several ovens and openings for fires to accomodate the preparation of the abundant food of plantation days. Close by are the rabby ruins of an ante-bellum mansion which intrigues the imagination to the s ummer of 1804 when Aaron Burr, then a fugitive from arrest, was an honored guest here partaking of savory dishes :hat came from the old chimney which then graced a spacious kitchen. Because oi the excitement oi public indignation arising from his killing of Alexander Hamilton in a duel, July U, 1804, Burr found it necessary to retire from New York and from Philadelphia to secretly set out for St. Simon. His trequent letters from this island to Theodosia, his daughter, whom he loved to adoration, disclose his thoughts and actions while there, and from the one dated “Hampton, St. Simon, August 28" we learn that he was comfortably settled. Guest of Mr, Couper His Southern friends feeling with re gard to the duel differed from that at the North, and he was welcomed to the homes of Major Pierce Butler at Ham pton Point, and John Couper at Can non Point, both located on the north end of St Simon Island separated by a His hosts bestowed every honor hospitality upon him and in these he found luxury of epicurean taste. He communicated to Theodosia that the houses afforded: Mideria, brandy, porter arid excellent French and that “the appearance of a fine s 1 - ep.hc td smoking on the tabic has at actions not to be resisted.” Again, . lile writing to her he remark ed: “W ..fc a scandalous thing to sit here all alone drinking champagne,” and jovially he intercepted sentences of the letter with toasts to amuse his daughter, the last one being. “To the Celeste, a bumper toast.' La Belie Celeste So, Celeste occupied his thoughts while on St Simons; and thus we vis ualize Burr there in yet another role; that of a lover in a state of anxiety as to whether or not the lady would ac cept him. Celeste was the youthful Philadelphia belie whom the 48-year old Burr was trying to persuade to him at the moment he had to to St Simon; and in regard to the situation of the affair, Burr wrote to Theodosia: “If any male friend of j ours should be dying of ennui, recom mend to him to engage in a duel and a courtship at the same time.” Was It Celeste Burr’s humor was always good in those letters to Theodosia, affected pei haps to lessen her and her husband’s anxiety about him. It is said that at Cannon’s point was long treasured a souvenir of his visit there; the auto graph he cut into the window pane of the room he occupied. As he gazed from that window on St Simon upon the wide-spreading marshes and bound less ocean, what serious thoughts oc cupied him in that abstraction 'when lie carved his name there? Was it ■ ome political scheme? The reeling fi gure of Hamilton in the fatal moment i the duel? A vision of the gallows? ew York and New Jersey were juar elling over which should have tho ho ur of hanging him—or, was it Celeste? Two fishermen and four bargemen were always at Burr’s command and he isited the neighboring islands, caught rout, shot ricebirds, and “frightened rocodiles” (alligators). Along the oak leaded roads of St Simons he rode by carriage with young ladies at the Coupers for visits at Frederica and Hamilton's Bluff on a distant part of the island. He also made a journey by boat to St. Mary’s; and after his return from there set out late in September from St Simons for his return to the North. —Savannah Press. Editors note:-Mrs. Laura Baker of White Oak has in her possession at this time the beautiful old four posts bed upon which Aaron Burr slept while in St. Marys.
