FOREWORD Tlie Virginia health authorities for the last two years have issued their January bulletin in the form of a Health Almanac. How much we think of this idea is evidenced best by the fact that in this our January issue we are following Virginia's good example. Of course, we should rather lead than follow^ but when one places such a high value on originality that his pride gets between him and a good thing, he is more proud than wise. This Bulletin, as you will observe, has a hole for a string in the upper corner. It is earnestly hoped that every copy will be hung on a nail within easy reach of one of the calks in the horse shoe of the family circle about the fireside. We venture to hope that this almanac, when hung upon that nail, will not be made the companion of some patent medicine almanac. The two are not naturally companionable; their ideals are as far apart as truth and fraud, or as altruism and selfishness. We have tried to crowd into the space of this Bulletin all the essentials of a good almanac. In addition to the principal features of an almanac this one contains: (a) Important dates with especial reference to North Carolina events, and to medical and sanitary diiscoveries; (b) the legal holidays observed in North Carolina; (c) sanitary jokes, others carefully excluded; (d) health forecasts; (e) the important things for the farmer to do during each month's calendar; (f) household remedies for common ailments and minor injuries; (g) the year's health program, including the twelve most important aspects of the health problem—one for each month—for a good citizen to think about. To the Progressive Farmer, for supplying us with a list of things that the farmer should do each month of the year, we are under lasting obligations. We wish also to acknowledge our deep indebtedness to Mr. R. D. W. Connor, Secretary of the North Carolina Historical Commission, for furnishing us with the most important dates in North Carolina History, a feature of this almanac that, in itself, will make it of great value to students of our State's history.
