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. 3. 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. —W. C. CARTER. 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.

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 •ompleie hoard of health In each conn ty The central organization, the 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.
