U. S. Soldiers Graves Decorated

diers who died in France were deco
rated Friday under the auspices of
the three-quarters of a million forces
of the United States still in France.
THE PARENT’S PART
You were shocked to hear that the
number of deaths resulting from the
Influenza epidemic in 1918 was great
er than the total losses among the
American troops during the war. Is
it any less a shock to know that the
Army lost more days of service on
account of venereal diseases than
from any other disease? One hundred
and ninety-seven thousand such cases
were reported in t£e army camps dur
ing the 15 months ending November,
1918. This meant a loss of approxi
mately two and one-half million train
ing days. Is it any wonder that the 1
Surgeon General of the Army stated
that if it were possible to rid his
men either of all wounds or of all
venereal diseases he would rather rid
them of the venereal cases?
But venereal disease is not, pri
marily, a military problem or a war
time epidemic. Estimates show that
one man contracted the disea’se after
entering the service to every five be
fore entering it. This means that the
source of disease is in civilian com
munities —your communities. The
draft, with its examination of the na
tion’s men, resulted in digging un
derneath the sod of every-day life and
showing that out of sight in your
town, in your State, there is going on
yearly an untold waste of manhood,
womanhood and childhood by the rav
ages of these diseases.
Being highly contagious, they have
entered homes and marriage relations.
Women and children, not knowing the
cause, have suffered from them for
generations. Innocent young wives,
previously healthy, have been mutilat
ed by necessary surgical operations,
some have been made invalids, many
have remained childless, and others
have lost life itself. Babies have been
born dead or defective, others have
become blind a few hours after birth.
This is in addition to the thousands
of men who, thinking they were cured
by patent remedies, have been visit
ed years later by sterility, paralysis
and insanity.
Preventable Diseases
Nor is this terrible waste of health
and life inevitable. Syphilis and
gonorrhoea must be classed as pre
ventable contagious diseases. We
know and can identify through the
microscope the germs which cause
them. We know and can locate many
of the personal carriers. Exposure
to them can be practically minimized
to the vanishing point if we elimi
nate the entirely unnecessary and
harmful contacts of irregular sexual
intercourse. After the success of the
army camps in prevention by suppres
sion of prostitution, education, recre
ation and early treatment, we have
an exact method of attack upon them.

LOW RATES TO STATE
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
The committee on arrangements
for the State Sunday School Conven
tion at Rome, June 10th to 12th, an
nounces that the Railroad Adminis
tration has granted a low rate under
the following plan:
People who attend the Convention
will buy a straight ticket to Rome,
paying regular price. In doing so
they are to get a receipt from the
agent who sells the ticket. This re
ceipt is stamped at the Convention
and is accepted as cash for two-thirds
of the price of the return ticket.
The plan reduces the cost to one and
a third fare for the round trip.
PROGRAM AND SPEAKERS. The
program mailed last week to pastors
and Sunday School Superintendents
is said to be one of the best, both in
point of practical and helpful topics
to be discussed and speakers secured,
ever arranged under the auspices of
the Georgia Sunday School Associa
tion. The main sessions of the Con
vention are to be held in the City
Auditorium at Rome, the opening
•session being at 3 o’clock Tuesday
afternoon, June 10th. The final ses
sion is to be held Thursday night,
June 12 th.
Among the sixty-four people on the
program are Dr. H. A. Porter, Atlan
ta; Mr. W. B. Stubbs, Savannah;
Mrs. W. L. Blankinship, Atlanta; Mr.
James W. Morton, Athens; Rev. W.
B. Dillard, Kirkwood; Mrs. R. M. Pe
gram, Moultrie, and many others of
the most noted Sunday School work
ers of Georgia. The out-of-State
speakers are Mr. Marion Lawrence,
Chicago, 111.; Prof. M. A. Honline,
Dayton, Ohio; Mr. J. R. Marcum,
Huntington, W. Va.; Mr. Harry Den
man, Birmingham, Ala., and Mr. Rob
ert H. Coleman, Dallas, Texas.
■ REGISTRATION AND ENTER-
I TAINMENT. According to the plan
announced in the advanced program
sent out, all pastors and Sunday
school superintendents of all white
evangelical churches of Georgia are
delegates by virtue of their office.
Each Sunday school is asked to elect
three other delegates. Any Sunday
school or church that has no Sunday
school failing to elect delegates, the
first three adults who register from
that church will be counted as dele
gates. All who attend the Convention
are to pay a registration fee of one
dollar. Each person who registers
will then be given a package contain
ing a song book, a note book, pro-
EARLY COUNTY NEWS
gram, badge, pencil and other
necessary to make the Convention en
joyable. They will then be furnished
free entertainment for lodging and
breakfast. Arrangements have been
made for all who attend to get din
ner and supper near the Convention
Hall at a nominal price.
THE SLOGAN SEEMS POPULAR.
According to a statement sent out
by the Program Committee, a large
number of Sunday Schools over the
State have adopted the' slogan, “An
automobile load of workers from our
Sunday school to the State Conven
tion.”
■ Women And Children First
When the life-boats are to be low
ered and filled with distressed people,
endeavoring to save their lives, it is
“women and children first.” No man
should offer to take their place. So
it should always be, whether under ac
cident or not. Just plain, every day
life should be “women and children
first,” with every warm-blooded gen
tleman, and it is most generally so,
we are happy to state, but sometimes
due consideration is not given them.
Especially is this true in the amount
of work done for them by adequate
appropriation of our towns, cities and
state for work along the lines of pre
ventable diseases. In Georgia the ap
propriation for work of the State Board
of Health has always been pitifully
small. If the work to be done is ac
complished, the legislature will neces
sarily have to be more liberal with
your Board of Health.
Did you know that at the end of
the first year, of all babies born, 11%
are dead, at the end of five years 16%
are dead, at 20 years l/sth have pass
ed away, and at 30 years almost one
fourth of the total number born have
died. Os the babies who die under
one year of age, 25% of them died of
diarrhoea. Os all deaths that occur
in women who are over 15 years old,
35% of them are between tbe ages of
15 and 24 years, and 42% of them
go between 25 and 44 years. 65%
of all the abdominal operations done
on women are due to infection of gon
orrhoea. 90% of all babies’ sore eyes
or babies born blind are due to the
same cause. 75% of childless mar
riages are due to the effects of this
disease. It is estimated that 50%
of insanity is due to syphilis. It is es
timated that- 85% of all children born
of parents infected with these dis
eases are either born dead, die very
young, or are feeble-minded, blind or
affected for life.
The above in a large measure are
preventable, and the deaths should not
occur. The loss, the .suffering, the
pain, the death is borne by women
and babies.
To the men who are in power we
cry “Women and Children First.” Let
us awake to the realization of the fact
! that in a large measure health is pur
! chasable, and that hard-cold-cash will
save thousands of our people, especial
ly women and children.
There need never be a darling baby
die from diarrhoea, it is a preventable
diseatee. There need never be a young
mother taken to the operating room
for the result of the “social disease”
so-called. There need never be a baby
at our academy for the Blind because
of “Born Blind” or “Babies’ Sore
Eyes.” Why all the deaths, the sor
row and anguish from preventable
causes!
“Women and Children First!”

Booze Is Not a Good Cure.
! From the Ames (Iowa) Intelligencer.
When a man comes to you all
doubled up with pain and declares
he will die in your presence unless
you procure him a drink of whiskey,
send- him a doctor or else give him
him a dose of Chamberlain’s Colic
and Diarrhoea Remedy. There is a
mistaken notion among a whole lot
of people that booze is the best rem
edy for colic and stomach .ache. advt.
