BAN ON CHRISTMAS
FIREWORKS IN ARK
The State Council of Defen
se has placed the ban on fire
works for Christmas celebra
tions this year, and their use
will not be sanctioned.
Christmas fireworks take
t-bcdr annual toll of life and
property in the United States
and the custom is one against
which fire and police officials
and careful parents have long
waged war, with the result
that the Christmas fire crack
er is practically a thing of the
past.

SAYS JOY OF
FRENCH WAS
INDESCRIBABLE
(Continued from front page)
Drennen in which he gives the
following interesting account
of some of the work done by
the Medical Department of the
army.
Dear Editor.—In this letter
to readers of your splendid
paper, I shall take up the sub
ject of the Medical Depart
ment in relation with the oth
er Departments of the army.
It is known that the Medi
cal Department is a non-com
batant organization so far as
physical force is concerned.
There are two enemies with
which the soldier is confront
ed (not only in the theatre of
operations but elsewhere)
namely, the resistance of the
enemy; which is man, and dis
ease.
lo my minu disease is one
of the important factors. To
this enemy, the Medical De
partment is entrusted, and if
1 may say the task is not an
easy one. For the soldier to
attain the very best possible,
he must have a high vital re
sistance, and this is only brou
ght about by the co-operation
of many factors, as, nourishing
food, warm and comfortable
clothing, iresh air, which as a
rule is never lacking. He is
taught personal hygiene, is
immunized against typhoid fe
ver and smallpox which in the
armies of the past reaped tre
mendous harvests.
One has only to read the
statistics of the Sipanish-Amer
ican war to verify this state
ment in regard to typhoid fe
ver. He is taught the harmful
effects of veneral diseas, md
many other unmentioned
things which taken together
bring aboid this high power of
vital resistance, with which
the soldier must be armed to
successfully combat disease.
There are two diseases con
fronting not only our army,
but the entire armies at war
at present: those are influen
za and pneumonia. The lat
ter as a rule is a complication of
the former. It is hoped that
in the nea'' future our labora
tories may be able to give us
a vaccine or serum with which
we may successful}' combat
these. No sadder picture has
ever confronted me in my
work over here than that of a
soldier with pneumonia. He
has been up and faced the
tempest of steel only to be
overtaken by that dread dis
ease. To repeat the remarks
ol a convalescent pneumonia
case, whom we were evacuat
ing, he staged that after spend
ing one winter in the trenches
and being wounded once, that
he would rather face a whole
regiment of Boche than to un
dergo the suffering of tnat
disease. So, you see it is not
only the wounded of war with
which the Medical Department
has to deal, but the prevention
i and treatment of disease, and
! it is to this department that
due credit should be given, for
its unceasing and untiring ef
i .
torts at successfully keeping
this enemy at bay.
This subject may not prove
interesting to your readers;
however, it is an attempt at
giving the people at home
some idea of the huge task of
our department.

IS CALLED BY DEATH
Rev. J. H. McDoniel Dies .at
Home Near Town From
Attack of Influenza
Rev. James H. McDoniel
died at his home in Wycough
tcu nship Tuesday following an
attack of influenza.
Rev. McDoniel was 65 years
old and was born and reared
in the county.
His life was a personal ex
emplification of the highest
type of Christian citizenship
and he held the confident e
and esteem of all who knew
him.
He is survived by thiee
sons, Will, Gecrge and Robert,
and six daughters, Mrs. H. T.
Magness, Mrs. F. W. Arnold,
Mrs. O. W. Magness, Mrs.
Farley Cash, Mrs. T. O. Smith

THINK BEFORE YOU
CASH WAR STAMPS
The government is making
a record ot all persons who
purchase War Savings Stamps
and the reasons they give
when they ask to have their
stamps cashed before maturi
ty. These lists will be filed
with the County Clerk in
each county to establish a
permanent record of each in
dividual’s part in the war
work. Every citizen will be
known, not only by the extent
of his investment but by the
duration of his loan.
This fact probably is not
known by persons who un
thinkingly cash their stamps
before payment from the gov
ernment is due. Uncle Sam
spends the money as. soon hs it
is received. When he is call
ed upon to refund these loans,
he is in 'he same predicament
that one would be if he bor
rowed money from the bank
to build a house, and after he
had purchased material and
put carpenter’s to work, tne
bank would suddenly recall
the loan.
Don’t cash your War Sav
ings Stamps before 15)23 un
less you have to. Be sure
that your reason justifies jour
act, as it will be put in the re
cord at 'he court house.
