Sanitation of a Summer Camp. A summer camp is a device for seeking health and pleasure without modern conveniences. Campers are persons who of their own volition, or through the cnticement of others revert to primitive modes of existence and ostensibly obtain enjoyment therefrom.

Both place and persons then favor the development of irregularities, encourage more or less irresponsibility and lead to immediate wildness. In this there is no harm and often much good. However, one thing should not be arrangements. Allow the to break loose once more for the seasonal enjoyment, but by all means have the camp sanitary so that in their wilderness they will do no harm. For, be it remembered that he who selects a suitable site, pitches his tenr, or builds his hut in a proper manner, examines his food, protects himself from his natural enemies, is a wise camper indeed.

anee. See that the campfire conveys a little smudge at night. Oil the pools and screen the sleeping place if you have not forgotten to put a few yards of netting in your kit. Anoint yourself. There are really a few preparations which mosquitoes do rot like.

One is castor oil and pino tar, equal parts, and another is oil cf eitronella. Dispose of all human and animal wastes in a proper manner. Burn whatever is destructible, bury deeply what you can not burn, and pro- rect that which you can not bury. If your site is more or less permanent handle garbage In properly cove- cans and then incinerate. Just as1 tin cans have marked the pathways to the West, so they indicate camp sites for all time to come.

They have no other usefulness except as breeding places for mosquitoes. Why not consign them to their grave while they are still in the heyday of exist-1 ence? Do not permit tho cook to scatter dish, water indiscriminately! about; it attracts flies, decomposes, and is otherwise objectionable. Fast en a sign to this effect upon I nearest tree, or if you have your courage with you emulate Luther and nail it to the kitchen door. Provide a suitable toilet Remember that soil pollution is one of the greatest causes of disease in our country today. Do this then not alone for your own protection and convenience but for the wellfarfi.

of others. The pail system may be or a trench dug, utilizing dry earth or chloride of lime for covering. Be sure to protect from insects by screening. When abandoned make it your business to see that it is not objectionable in any manner and of Pickett News.

On Wednesday afternoon, August 11th, at 5:10 Mrs. Nannie Jayroe was borne by the angels to heaven, to return her talents, increased manifold, and to reap her reward of everlasting life; from Him who gives and takes life. Mrs. Jayroe is survived by her husband, Mr. L.

G. Jayrce; a brother, Mr. D. B. Berry; a sister, Mrs.

S. A. True; and four step-childrein, Mrs. Anna Warren, Mrs. Roxy McElroy, Mrs.

Mittie Ivy and Mr. James Jayroe. She has a number of grandchildren and great-grand-children She was born on May 2, 1841, in the state of Alabama. She had been a member of the Missionary Baptist church since her girlhood, and has always been an dent worshiper of her Lord and Mas ter, Jesus Christ. Amidst an adoring throng of rela- The camp site is important.

Se lect high ground where the breezes blow and the drainage is good. Only a veritable amateur will occupy the space where another camp has been for tho filth, the flies and the food remnants are probably still there Seek another location. If you are not satisfied, move; you probably leased the premises and you ought uot to put up with faulty conditions. The supply should be The source should be known and proved to be uncontaminated and if there is the slightest suspicion of its quality it should not be used without boiling. This is a practicable and easy method of rendering any water safe for consumption.

A second method is by the use of bleaching powder. Add a teaspoonful of chloride of lime to one pint of watter and keep in a well ed bottle. A teaspoonful of this ao- lution should be placed in two gallons of the water to be treated and alter standing for thirty minutes it Is then absolutely safe for consumption. Guard against insects of all varieties; many.are not alone tormenting but disease carriers as well. Screen he cabin, the tent, or the the most primitive people protect themselves ir.

this manner. Flies frequently spcil an otherwise successful camping trip. Remember that they breed in manure and filth and that the camper himself is therefore often responsible for their presence. Make the handy man clean up and keep the grounds policed. A little borax added to manure or filth inhibits the development of the Jar and should be in every outfit.

Watch the mosquitoes. They carry in their sting more than a temporary annoy- no danger to w'ho follow in your footsteps. Do not pollute the streams. That man should lessen the arm of the wayside brooks, the very voices which called him from afar, is inconceivable. Be careful of the provender.

Select only proper foodstuffs, those whose quality is known, and properly preserve them. Use tho stream for cooling and that woold-old device of lowering temperature by the evaporation of water. Secure ice if possible keeping it in the camp refrigerator made by placing one box within another with hay between and caring for all perishable food products in this manner. Do not forget that the news of your coming has been wafted abroad by innumerable winged and other malevolent insects and that they are gathering for a feast unheard of in all the days of their existence; therefore screen your food, hang it high, and guard it zealously. Interest yourself in your welfare.

Be moderate. Beware of the corn and cucumbers, eat sparingly of the concoctions to which you are unaccustomed, and glance at the well of boyhood days only with suspicion. allow the weather or the children to annoy you, rest as well as you can, show the youngsters what father can do when he has the proper environment, and imagine what a wonderful time yor are having. Then when it is all over get together again, tell of the fish caught and recite our numerous adventures, and begia tn plan for the season to come. Mrs.

Teddy English, a colored man, was brought here in a buggy by another negro yesterday morning nearer dead than alive from the loss of blood.
