Contj R. C. Nome Triln of Duties
of the Newly Instituted Public
Health Hervlce—Institution
"We do not attempt to treat dis-
ease—the doctor* will attend to that
—neither I* it a diepentary where
medicine le Riven away.” aayt Miae
Edwards, the nurse hired by the
Mayee County Chapter of the Red
Cross, in eaplalnlnR the nature of
the Public Health Service recently
instituted la this county. "It is sim-
ply a health promotion center, and
• »e invite all the good people of the
surrounding country to come and see
us.1*
The following interesting article
was handed us by Miss Edwards, and
a careful perusal will disclose many
of the benefits to be derived from the
Public Health Service now located in
Pryor.
Everyone who understands the
policy of the Red Cross believes in it.
In the recent woild war. everywhere
(he A. R. C. was recognized and hon-
ored. Oncers, enlisted men and
, nurses could not have been as happy
and ancient without the organization
and surely we could never have won
the respect of other natious and been
able to do the follow-up reconstruc-
tion work which is now being done
In many places. No phase of the
new peace program is more impor-
tant than the present health crusade.
Too much cannot be said regarding
the recent disaster almost at our own
door. How generously people gave
and how strenuously many worked
to alleviate suffering and relieve con-
ditions. Surely some good must
come from such heart-breaking ex-
periences. Tho' now we cannot un-
derstand. But paramount in Impor-
tance it the health of people. Pre-
vention is our watchword. Stay well
rather than get well. Every year
thousands of lives are sacrificed right
here la our own land thru ignorance
and criminal carelessness. Typhoid
fever, malaria, small-pox, etc., not to
mention the many contagious diseas-
es of children, which cause suffering
and often permanent disability for
future service and happiness.
Through repeated efforts of sani-
tation, typhoid is not so prevalent as
a few years ago. And yet. of the few
rases within the last year In Mayes
county, what would not those people
give to roll back the scroll of time
and get down to the basis of sanitary
conditions. The L. 8. Health depart-
ment sends out the startling state-
ment that one-fifth of all the babisr
In our country die before they ate
one year old. What wonld you far-
mers do if one-fifth of your calves
died every year? I heard a man of
wealth once say "I would be willing
to give every cent I possess and be-
gin over, barefoot and in debt if I
could bring back my wife’s and boy's
health." (They were the victims of
tuberculosis.) And yet we are not
willing to recognize health as a com-
mercial asset and take every step
possible to safeguard it. A health
center is the medium agreed upon
thru whleh the kuowledge o fthe pre.
vention of disease and stimulation of
interest in public health can best be
attained. These renters have been
established in ninny places and are
bringing wonderful results. Such a
place is now In Pryor, Okla., right
over the Pryor Bakery.
We have lots of good reading mat-
ter but no table upon which to i|is-
play it. (A hint to the wise is suf-
ficient.) We hoven’t very many
chairs, but maybe some of you may
remember you have one which is not
doing service. Remember, these,are
your rooms and we want you to come
und see us and get a vision orwhal
your money, given so generously, is
trying to do.
All together for Mayes. County—

Allen’s Tribute to Hte Daughter.
Editor Allen of the Vinita Journal
has the following to say, editorially
of the marriage (>f his eldest daugh-
ter, which oecurnd last Saturday:
"There was rice scattered about
our house the other dsy und that
evening when he little brood gather-
ed In, one was uitssinR. What is
more sacred ban the American
home? And to perpetuate the home
I ‘he little broods must separate to es-
I tabllsh new homes. Wealth in mon-
ey and lands and high bred stock
brings satisfaction to the most of us,
but after all, is there anything that
brings mote Joy and contentment
than obedient children and to see
them take a pluce in this nation of
ours? If they do nothing more than
to make a happy Jionie, one Is well
repaid for the little that he or she
nan done for thorn. This editor may
never have a burdensome amount of
money or buildings or lands but he
has something of more value in his
[children. He Is glad that his first
daughter chose a country editor for
her husband. It is a compliment to
her home life. And this nation is
sure to have an editor as its chief
executive in the coming election. It
is more than it commercial calling.
Tlie editor can lake a worthv part in
everything wor'h whlie. lie can
praise the worthy aud criticise the
unworthy. God bless the editors,
and especially the one who got our
daughter "
Attended Family Reunion.

James, Cross Langley, Harve Lang-
ley and Aunt Lina Skinner. There
were seventy-five Langleys present
and to say that they had the time of

ly, indeed.

voice was In bad shape after having
delivered several hundred campaign
speeches over the state.
He waa introduced by R. A. Wll-
kerson. The speech was modeled
after the address be delivered .in

Pryor men. He addressed about 75
persons on the streets of Choteau :»t
