THE HEALTH PROBLEM
Probably the greatest needs of
the city of Griffin and the county
of Spalding at this time are well
organised health departments.
Unfortunately we are not look
ing after the health of our com
munity as wo should.

The health of our. community is
important.
It matters not how we may
prosper in a material way—if we
do not enjoy good health it is of
no value to us.
A competent health officer will
find much to do in our city and
rural communities.
It is not a matter of dollars and
cents, but the health of the com
munity that counts.

state of Georgia employ a capital
of over one hundred and fifty
million dollars.
During the year 1923 there were
employed in cotton mills in Geor
gia a total of 49,432 white per
sons, and in addition to this num
ber there were 4,758 negro em
ployes doing the work of porters.
Of the white employes there werte
44 males under 14% years of age,
and 27 females, making* in all a
total of 71 out of nearly 50,000

There are not over a dozen of
Georgia’s textile mills which are
located in large cities, the great
majority of them being located in
either the smaller towns of the
state or near those communities.

“Chemist Some Day Will Control
Our Physical Makeup,” Says
Science Editor.
The greatest optimist toward
mankind’s hope of improvement
is a chemist, Dr. Edwin E. Slos
son, editor of “•Science Service,"
formerly professor of chemistry
and an author of scientific books
for the lay reader, including the
widely read “Creative Chemistry.”
It is he who believes the chemist
is well on the way to control our
pyhsical makeup. He said recent
ly:
** Comparatively recent study has
shown that every living creature,
from microbe' to man, owe their
growth and health to the action
of chemical compounds, This
places chemistry in the forefront
as the hope of medicine. We
soon will pay less attention to
giving people big doses internally
than we do to putting into the
blood streams of chemicals
extremely minute amounts which
will affect the very composition
of their beings.

Here is the argument from
which this position is taken:
U Experiments with plants and
lower animals have proven the
extraordinary effect which minute
chemical doses can produce. For

COMTE CHARLES DE CHAM
BRUN.
The recent appointment of Com
te Charles de Chambrun as min
ister to Greece from France is
of more than passing interest to
Americans because of his service
on numerous occasions to France’s
relations with the United States.
American by Birth.
In fact, M. de Chambrun is an
American by birth, having been
born in ^Washington while his
father, the Marquis de Chambrun,
was counsellor to the French em
bassy there. On his ^mother’s
side—she was Mile, de Courcelles
—he is a direct descendant of La
Fayette.
M. de Chambrun’s diplomatic
career started at Washington,
Where he was sent as third and la
ter as second secretary to the
French embassy. He was promot
ed to the grade of counsellor and
was charge d'affaires during the
peace conference and became
minister and charge d’affaires
during M. Jusserand’s long leave
of absence in 1922. He also was a
member of the French mission
sent to inaugurate the Rocham
beau statue at Washington in 1902
and in 1912 wen£, with M. Hano
taux and M. Barthou, to represent
France at the tercentennial of
Lake Champlain.
With Foch.
His last visit to the United
States was in 1921 as a member
of Marshal Foch’s party that was
accorded such a tremendous wel
come from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and back. M. Chambrun’s
promotion to the Athens legation
is hailed by all his friends as only
another step to higher recognition
by his government. He has been
under secretary of foreign affairs
and in charge of press relations at
the Qua d’Orsay.
