Your Health
If every case of suspected com-
municable disease could be prompt-
ly visited either by the family phy-
sician or the local health officer,
I thousands of susceptible persons
would be protected from disabling
illnesses, according to the state
health officer.
To quote Dr. George W. Cox,
“The old theory that it is a good
thing for children to have a num-
ber of the catching diseases and
get them over with has long since
been known to be a serious and
sometime fatal error. The longer a
child can keep from having these
diseases, the better it is for him.
Every child should be completely
protected by immunization against
.smallpox and diptheria.”
Prompt diagnosis, isloation, good
medical and nursing care give the
patient the best chance for a satis-
factory recovery without the seri-
ous complications that sometimes
accompany even mild forms of
-communicable diseases protects not
only the patient, but helps prevent
others from contracting the illness.
“Every health officer knows,’’
"Dr. Cox said, “that the danger of
spread of infection increases when
a nation is at war. Men, ma-
terials, and a large number of our
civilian population move from one
Section of the country to another.
The State Health Department is
doing everything in its power to
protect the health of the people of
Texas. It is the patriotic duty of
every man, woman and child to do
his share to maintain a high level
of health; a healthy civilin popula-
tion contributes greatly to the
health of our armed forces.”
Tivoli News
Mrs. L. F. Schorlemmer
Planting vegetables and planting
the old standby, potatoes, were the
spotlight of the month.
Remember the old saying, “Ev-
ery dark cloud has a silver lining?”
It is being frequently remarked
these days that the silver lining in
the dark cloud of war may be the
return of fundamentals in our ev-
fery day living. We are again tak-
ing lessons from grandmother, who
was an expert on getting along on
what she had. Food she always had
plenty of, was what grew in the
garden, among them potatoes
which can be kept on hand in gen-
erous quantities, because they keep
well in a moderately cool place.

high school graduates and boys
currently enrolled in their senior
class in high school and who ex-
pect to graduate by June 30 may
apply. They must be in the upper
50 per cent of their class if a high

gave their time and effort free to
this noble cause were Misses Billy

Actress Stays With
Husband to Argue
Los Angeles.—Screen Actress
Rosalind Keith testified recently
she was living in the same house
with her husband, although she
had sued him for divorce, and that
she finally moved into the same
bedroom so they could argue
more freely.
She explained at an alimony
hearing' she got tired of walking
from one bedroom to another when
she thought of answers to the ar-
guments of her husband, Leo
Jacobson, financier.
The court had suggested they
patch up their differences, but
Jacobson has filed a cross-com-
plaint for divorce.

STUCK NORTH
Frined: “Well, Uncle Mose, if
you hate the cold up north here
the way you say, why don’t you
go south?”
Uncle Mose: “Well, back in 1887
ah comes north on an excursion
ticket, den ah los’ the return half,
and ah never did get back to
Gawgia.”
Woman Gets $1,250
For Suggestion
Lynn, Mass.—Mrs. Edith Hogan,
employed by the General Electric
Company for 12 years and married
to another General Electric worker,
is $1,250 richer because she sug-
gested a plan for breaking the bot-
tleneck in the production of care-
fully calibrated dials on electrical
instruments much needed by the
armed forces. Her idea for mark-
ing the scale on these dials me-
chanically, rather than by hand,
saved 400 “woman hours” a week.
Mrs. Hogan is not only high among
women suggestors but all-time
high for the entire company. The
previous record was held by three
men, who had been awarded $1,200
each for' suggestions.
PERFECT POLITENESS
“You have heard what the last
witness said and yet your evi-
dence is to the contrary. Am I to
infer that you wish to throw doubt
on her veracity?”
“Not at all. I merely wish to
make it clear what a liar I am if
she’s speaking the truth.”
Leona: “What did you and Har-
old talk about?”
Elaine: “Oh, kith and kin.”
Leona: “Kith and kin?”
Elaine: “Yes, he said, ‘Can I kith
you?’ and I said, ‘Yes you kin’.”
Father": “There’s plenty of time
for our daughter to think about
marriage. Let her wait until the
right man comes along.”
“Mother: ‘Indeed she will not!
She’s no better than I was.”
From where I sit..
Joe Marsh
Sam Abernethy always said:
“Curiosity may kill a cat —but
I’m no cat.” Which is Sam’s way
of saying that when he’s curious
about something he goes out
and gets the facts.
Seems our government feels
the same way. After hearing ru-
mors about our soldiers" drink-
ing too much—government peo-
ple went after the facts. They
got the evidence on what our
boys drink . . . and don’t drink.
The government found out
our Army’s the best behaved in
history. More’n half of ’em drink
beer—nothing stronger. And the
government found that selling
3.2 beer in Army camps is one
reason why our Army is so tem-
perate.
From where I sit, there isn’t
much cause to worry about our
men in the Army. Looks like
they can take care o’ themselves
—and take care o’ the Nazis and
the Japs, too.
