Georgia is one of only four States without adequate Vital Statistics Laws.
That in itself should compel us from a sense of pride alone to VOTE on
November 2nd “FOR RATIFICATION of amendment to Article 7, Section 8
Paragraph 2, of the Constitution, providing for the - collection and preserva
tion of records of birth, death, disease and health.” But there are many
other practical business reasons why Georgia should have satisfactory birth
and death registration laws.
Birth registration is essential for establishing proof of citizenship and of
identity, the right to attend school, to enter employment, to marry, to receive
passports, to serve in the civil and military arms of government, to enjoy be
quests and the proceeds of insurance. All of these are more or less de
pendent upon accurate birth records.
Equally important is the proper registration of deaths. Such records are
necessary in proving death for probating wills, settling estates, establishing
•claims for insurance and pensions. They are indispensable in gauging health
conditions of a State or community and In determining the success or failure
of measures attempted by the public health officials in preventing disease
and death.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
Babies As Well As Grown-ups Need It
Light is essential to our well-being.
Direct sunlight is necessary to prop
er growth and development, especial
ly in babies.
It is a preventive of the disease
known as "Rickets."
The baby should be exposed to the
direct rays of the sun every day for
a period of time. The essential rays
of light that are necessary for proper
growth and development are filtered
out by window glass. It is, therefore,
imperative to have the sun shine di
rectly on the child’s body. Artificial
sunshine Is obtainable by electricity,
and can be used as a substitute. It
1g only a substitute, as nothing equals
nature. All growing children should
have the benefit of outdoor sunshine.
In Georgia this, owing to our mild
and salubrious climate, can be had
almost every day in the year.
While the child is getting the nec
essary sunshine, it Is also getting a
good supply of fresh air, another es
sential to its well-being. In fact, there
are five essentials for a healthy,
strong baby or child — air, sunlight,
water, proper feeding and rest. Give
these as they should be given and
the baby will thrive, grow, be strong
and well.

Congentital Syphilis Can Be
Prevented
Three hundred and seventy new
cases of syphilis among boys and girls
under fifteen years of age were re
ported in one of our states during
1925, and over three hundred and
thirty-eight cases, old and new, among
children were treated In free clinics.
Practically all of these Infections were
congenital cases, and might have been
prevented if the mothers had been
examined for syphilis during their
pregnancy and If infected, had been
given proper treament.
It is a scientific fact that congeni
tal syphilis is preventable depending
entirely upon how early in pregnancy
the mother is treated and the amount
of treatment administered. The pub
lic should awaken to this fact, and
realize that every new case among
children is a reflection upon society
as a whole.
Vital Statistics, like the Magne
Charts, the Declaration of Independ
ence, the Abolition of Slavery, is an
other step toward a higher civiliza
tion.
