Unfortunately we are not look ing after the health of our com munity as wo should. ' A recent examination in the Fifth grade of the public achoola here diaclosed the fact that out of a date of 84 pupils 74 were phyeieally unfit to properly, do the school work that is required of mVwi Several cases of hookworm and tuberculosis were found. This Is a deplorable condition of affaire. County officials have failed to put into operation the Ellis health law here, despite the fact that ■ two grand juries have recommend ed it, but it is sincerely -hoped teat soon our city and county of ... ganize a health department. 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. WARE COUNTY’S WISE The civic leaders of Way^ross and Ware county are doing community one of the best good turns in working for the adoption of the Ellis Public act, says' the Atlanta Journal. Wherever the provisions of useful law have been put into fect, highly gratifying have ensued. The services of a health and a visiting nurse redound or last, to the benefit of the coun ty’s every interest and home. For one thing they make ble the inspection of schools with a view to discovering and dying physical defects of the pils. Thus, through a little timely tention, many a child has been saved from a lifelong handicap or affliction. 5 / Thus, too, many a serious demic of disease has been Parents owe it to their to urge the inauguration of public health service. For ■ alone it would be eminently while. But there is hardly a nook corner of^ the common interest which it'does not contribute. It watches the water supply any chance pollution, and so guards against typhoid. It keeps a keen lookout for beginning* of any contagion, •o prevents the spread of It goes into the lowliest which Otherwise would be medical aid, and relieves at the same time protecting community. It lowers the death rate, creases the general makes life securer for all, and many, better Perth living. There is tfo mere fruitful vestment for tut ekeney than '■V,: i; public health, and none more es sential. It i* the way along which all progressive counties are moving, or are preparing to move; and the time is not distant when a community that lacks an efficient public health service will be class ed with those that are without good schools and good roads. |hr IV/I 1 *“ eng ITALIAN PROVERBS. 'Tls a mark of great perfection to bear with the perfections of others. What a man likes well is half accomplished. A good lawyer does not go to law himself. When wise men play the fool they do It thoroughly. More axioms of the Italian make up today’s installment of this series of presentations of the proverbs of the various people’s: Of the two cowards the one who finds the other out first fens the advantage. Poverty is a blessing hated by all men. The wise discourses of a poor man go for nothing.'

Reason governs the wise man, but the cudgel a tool Men turn ever to the rising »ua because the setting sun is soon lost. Much does he gain who learns when he loses. , It is a kindly act to listen to reason. He conquers who endures. He who makes a bad marriage never escapes from his troubles.

Worse than a mute is he who do not speak clearly. \ FACTS ABOUT GEORGIA The 190 textile mills in the state of Georgia employ a capital of over one hundred and fifty million dollars.

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.

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. | Twice-Told Talesl V___./ Mrs. Calvin Coolidge has been made a doctor of laws, but there is a wide spread impression that what this country needs is a doctor for some of the gents who make the laws.—Macon Telegraph.

In a few minutes the tele phone rang, and he hurried down stairs only to find that there was no one on the line. He had just curled up again in his warm bed when the telephone rang again and again he answered the call. It proved to be a motor car ageht who wished to interest Ran dall in a new machine. When the conversation was finished, the agent said, “I hope I have not in convenienced you. »» u Oh, not all,” said Mr. Randall. I was sitting right in front of the telephone, thinking that someone might call me up. The ardent swain and his lady love had just encountered a bull dog who looked as if he might shake a mean lower jaw. “Why, Percy,” she exclaimed as he started a strategic retreat, “You always swore you would face death for me.” “I would,” he flung back over his shoulder, “but that darn dog ain’t dead.” A very black little girl made her way into the presence of the lady of the house, and with much embarrassment, but very clearly, explained who she was, and what her mission: “Please, mum, I’se Ophelia.
