GOD’S GREAT BOOK
1.
The allotropic forniH in nature found,
And all that sun and moon and
stars display,
The heights unsealed, the depths no
man can sound
‘ Make the first page in God's Great
Book today.
Eternity in man God has insouled,
And bids him homeward lift his
longing eyes,
And walk with Him the Shepherd of
the fold,
In the full light of heaven’s fade¬
less skies.

One purpose has the all-creative
Mind
Recorded in Hip Book and proven
true:
He speaks. “Let there be Light for
all mankind, • •
And conies “The Prince of Peace”
to me and you.
4.
Unrcarhcd as yet Ihe heaven-appoint¬
ed goal,
The priceless gift of God, His high
bequest;
Confiding in Christ’s blood, each ran
somed soul
Is onward pressing to the promised
Rost.
4.
And when yon burning sun shall
cease to glow.
And night, enrobe the now efful
gent spheres,
More of the Book of God His saints
shall know
In the bright light of life's un¬
numbered years.

THE PEACH FESTIVAL
By D. G. Bickers in
The Macon Telegraph
Make it a Georgia festival, all-Geor
in its scope,
Jt’s big enough, and fine enough, and
full enough of hope
To tak# the whole of Georgialand in¬
to its plan and scheme—
,As great as any ancient fete is now
the cherished dream!
Oh, keep the scene just where it is,
the stage is neatly set,
The heart of Queen Elberta’s realm
it should be, and yet
All Georgians, east and north and
south and west should be
participants in this great day her
subjects all are we.
1 he Peach Blosaom
Spring, at once timid and bold,
■whispered into the Coral-pink ear oi
the peach-blossom—
And, though it was after a time,
and from hald-hit place among the
green—
Summer answered with a red. red
blush—
Upon the damask cheek of the
Peach!
SOUTHERN RURAUST WRITER
SENGS WARM WORDS THANKS
Lulu M. Cassidy, editor of the
home department of the Southern
Ruralist, writes warm letters of ap¬
preciation to T. F. Flournoy, chair¬
man of the Publicity Committee, and
.Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Coppedge, of the
Winano Hotel, for “lovely courte¬
sies” shown and the “magnificent
spectacle” of the Peach Blossom F os
tival, which she covered for her pub
lication. It is hardly necessary for
me to comment again on my appre¬
ciation of the magnificent spectacle
which was staged last Thursday and
Friday,” she writes to Mr. Flournoy.
Fit was everything that it could pos¬
sibly have been made, Whatever
more I have to say will come to you
through the columns of the Southern
Ruralist, April 15th isue. »T
To Mr. and Mrs. Coppedge she
writes: “You were so cordial a no
helpful to me last week while at the
Winona that 1 feel constrained to
Send you this little message of ap
predation. Fort Valley, including the
management of the Winona Hotel,
has developed the principle of hospi¬
tality in its final analysis, and it was
quite a privilege to be a recipient
of the best that it has to offer. 1 wish
to thank you and also your two as
sistants for your courtesies and ex
press my unbounded enthusiasm over
the Festival. • •
Away with the stuff that people take.
While there’s cure upon yon frozen
lake.
There’s little “pep” where the sun
doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t
blow.
If you have been successfully vac¬
cinated you can neither take nor
give smallpox.
WHO IS YOUR COUNTY
BOARD OF HEALTH?
The health work done in Georgia Is
ander an Act of the. Legislature passed
In 1914 and popularly known as the
Kills Health lacw It ts very demo
-ratle; It Is a local option law insofar
is a full time health officer is eon
:erned. It provides, however, for a

Georgia Slate Board of Health, is made
up of one representative from each
congressional district, appointed qy
the Governor for six years, the Slat.”
Superintendent of Schools, State Vet¬
erinarian and the Secretary of the
Board, giving a board of fifteen mem
hers. The County organization is made
ip of the Chairman of the Board of
Commissioners, or if there is no such
office in the county, the Ordinary, the
County Superintendent of Schools arid
i physician chosen by the grand jury.
If the grand jury falls to make such
i selection, the county still has a i
working board and can function. |
The law says: “Said County Board
r»f Health shall have supervision over
*11 matters relating to health and san¬
itation in their respective counties
with authority to declare and enforce
quarantine therein, subject to the pro
visions of this Act, and all powers and
authority now vested in the county au¬
thorities by Chapter 7, governing san¬
itary regulations by counties, embrac¬
ed in Sections 1670 to 1676 of the Code
5f Georgia, 1910.”
The County Board of Health shall
hold quarterly meetings, in January,
April, July and October, and such ex¬
tra meetings as are, necessary for
health purposes, The law is compul- .
sory, hut the employment of a full-time
health officer Is not enforceable until
It lias been reconinierulcd by two sue- 1
cessive grand Juries.
The State Board of Health is an ad¬
visory body, and does all It can to
aid counties Iq the proper enforce¬
ment of laws, rules and regulations,
furnishing expert advice, making in¬
spections and surveys when request¬
ed so to do, and it is possible with
lhe funds in hand for the purpose. A
lalsiratory is maintained for the pur¬
pose of making the necessary exami¬
nations of specimens submitted. The
appropriation has never been suffi¬
cient to permit it to subsidize the
county work, hut It is hoped that this
can be done at no distant date.
The State should have hinds at Its
Aiposal to financially assist the weak
counties in the prevention of disease,
ihe examination of school children for
defects and the doing of preventive
work, especially for malaria, typhoid
and dysentery.
The local laiard of health has con¬
trol of local conditions, and is the en¬
forcing agent of all laws and regula¬
tions pertaining ot sanitation, com¬
municable diseases ami all other con¬
ditions pertaining to sanitation. To this
board should be reported all matters
of complaint, and to its attention
should be referred all nuisances with
Ihe exception of conditions in incor
ported towns having a sanitary code.

not indicate its actual crop value, as it does not dis¬
close the materials from which the chemical ele¬
