Dr. Percy Ahrons, city and county health officer.

Dr. Ahrons has made a novel tabulation of the waste incurred in dollars and cents by preventable diseases. For the year ended July 1, 1919, there was a total of 559 cases divided as folloys: adults, 127; school age, 182; preschool age, 250. For the first ten months of the current year, the following cases have been recorded: adults, 45; school age, 120; pre-school age, 181. If the same ratio is maintained until the end of the year there will be only 416 cases this year, decrease of over 25 per cent The greatest percentage of decrease is in adult cases.

In making his estimate of the money waste, Dr. Ahrons has been conservative. He has estimated the time loss at eight days for each case. This is the minimum of quarantine prescribed for measles. For other cases, a longer quarantine is required.

The wage loss for adults has been figured at $4.00 a day and $15 a day, the amout alI lowed under present school appropriations, is taken as the loss occasioned by enforced non-attendance upon school. The amounts estimated for doctor's and druggist's bills for each case are $5 and $3, respectively. Based upon these figuree, the total waste for the year 1918-1919 was 869.34. For the period from July 1, to April 29, 1920 it has been 366.19. ROYAL BAKING CO.

Brooks and Great Picnic Dinner Feature Last Day Wakelen Farm-Life School, the largest of a such institutions county, and among the most compieteiy equipped in the State, brought its 1919- 1920 session to a close yesterday program featured by the address of Aubrey L. Brooks, of Greensboro, a great pienic dinner, a ball game in the afternoon annual play by the high school students at night.

Thousands of people from the surrounding country, and many from Raleigh were in attendance. The began with an essay contest, the prize was WOll exercishich by Miss Grace M. Young, who read a very creditable paper on the Modern Martha." The young essayist took her theme from the Biblical character who served her master, ministering his material needs but still having time to learn from and to perpetuate his teachings. She drew the modern counof Martha in the woman who still puts her mother-duty above all else, but has time to take an intelligent and helpful part in forming the thought of the age. Miss Mary Davis, with "Mothers' Pensions," Miss Maudie Brantly with "The Field of Honor" and Charles Saunders with "The Conflict Between Capital and Labor" were the other contestants.

With the awarding of the essayist's medal, other prizes won during the year's work were presented by the superintendent, Professor Sentelle. The recitation medal was won by Miss Alma Baker, the declamation medal Fred Turner, the debater's medal by Miss Vida Bell. Medals were awarded in four classes in music, the winners being A Humphreys, and Mamie Brantley. Misses. Rebecca Armfield, Lucy Knight, Getting under way with his speech, Mr.

Brooks told his audience, that he was particularly pleased them, because they were rural people, as he himself was once a country boy who had "pulled the bell rope over a plow animal," until he was 18 year. old. His audience, they warmed enjoyed up the to him, thirty and minutes both that he consumed with his address. He made no effort to make political appeal, and there was no mention of politics, save when the speaker was introduced a candidate for the United States as Senate. Education was the speaker's theme.

He stated at the outset that there was 110 question about the value and necessity of education, the only question being that of what sort of education was desirable. Civilization worked out two great schools of philosophy before it found the thing that it needed in the theory of education based on the teachings of Christ. The first was the intellectual school of the Greeks, and the second the Aurelian school of the latter days The of the Christian Roman theory Empireducation, he continued, is based on service to others. and education to be effective must be a training, not necessarily in schools, that will fit the people to serve their neighbors, their State and their nation. pointed with pride to the place that North Carolina has taken in the couneil halls of the world in the past ten years, with Woodrow Wilson, educated in the State, as the leader, and Josephus Daniels, Walter Hines Page, Claude Kitchin and Senator Simmons as his leaders.

After the morning exercises came the dinner on the school grounds, a dinner that was a revelation to the urban dweller used to seeing ham meat sliced to paper thinness, and all the multitude of things that attend this sovereign Tar Heel temptation to indigestion dished out with a cautious hand. The dinner was a masterpiece 300 yards long to which a full measure of adulation was rendered. Afterward there was a baseball game with the Cary High School, and at night a play, "Higbee of Harvard," which closed the year's work.

Big Special Kline Lazarus ONLY 3 DAIRIES UP TO STANDARD Dr. Ahrons Makes Public ment of Comparative Quality Only three local dairies are grade of milk that meets the requirea ments of the local health authorities according to figures issued yesterday by Dr. Percy Ahrons, City Health Officer. The seriousness of the situation hanced by fact that the standards are admittedly low, being based purely upon the minimum quality necessary to insure sanitary conditions. The figures given were obtained from examinations made in March and include fourteen of the largest dairies furnishing milk to the Right enforcement milk standards is one of the principal aims of the Health Department, and arrangements have been made whereby more frequent and complete examinations of milk will be made.

Examinations have been made several times this month. An ordinance has been passed, effective May 1, requiring every dealer selling milk here to display a special license on his vehicle. This will enable health authorities to identify milk wagons with ease, and Dr. Ahron hopes to obtain specimens during May from each of the forty-five dairies whose products are sold here. In explanation of the standards of the department, Dr.

Ahrons stated that there is no doubt that milk having a specific gravity of 1.027 or less has been watered, and that bacteria milk will showing sour within more a few hours. The butter fat requirement is not considered high and only three dairies produce milk that is unsatisfactory in this respect. In only one case was there unquestionable evidence of milk having been watered. The requirement in respect to bacteria, the most important from, a sanitary standpoint was met by four dairies. Two specimens were obtained from one dairy, one which showed more than seven million, bacteria there being only 66,000 in the other.

"There is no reason why every dairy should not meet this requirement. Reasonable cleanliness is all that is required," said Dr. Ahrons. The results obtained from the examinations made in March are as follows: Pine State: Bacteria, S. 1.0309; B.
