CEDARTOWN STANDARD Devoted to.the Best Interests of Ced&rtown and Polk County. Volume 36. Cedartown, Georgia, Thursday, June 22th, 1922. Number 22 MASS MEETING HELD THIS EVENING For the Purpose of Organizing a Live Cham ber of Commmerce Here. Meeting on Court House. Grounds Most Cordially Invited. All Are YOU ARE INVITED. A mass meeting will be held at 8 o'clock this evening on the Court House lawn that means much to Ce dartown, and it is one in which every citizen of Cedartown ought to take a lively interest. At the Kiwanis Club from time to time the matter of organizing a Chamber of Commerce has been dis cussed, and a couple of weeks ago it was decided that the time for action had come. Mr. C. I. Scarbrough— “Slats,” as he is known by his brother Kiwanians —was made chairman of a commit tee* to test public sentiment on the subject. He is a hustler from IIub- tleville—meaning, of course, that he is one of Cedartown’s most wide-a wake citizens,—and he got busy and put in a few hours seeing folks. A splendid unanimity of senti ment was found, and in a very short time he secured donations of over $1,800, and membership pledges of 217 of our live citizens at $1.50 a month for the next twelve months. Money talks, so “Slats” didn't stop with taking signatures, but got both s the contributions and the first month's dues in cash. And that is what everyone will a- I gree is the finest kind of a start. “Slats” reported his success at the Kiwanis luncheon Friday, and it was ; enthusiastically received. It was decided that with 117 paid members as a nucleus, taken ns a ! test of Cedartown’s willingness to ' undertake the project, it is best to organize at once, inviting every citi- | zen of Cedartown to become a mem- i bci '- I A muss meeting is accordingly call- ( ed for 8 o'clock this evening on the Court House lawn, to which every cit- 1 izen of Codnrtown is cordially invit ed. At the meeting this evening officers will be elected and plans perfected | for future work. 1 In helping Cedartown you take the best possible means of helping your self, and you should certainly be come identified with this important progressive movement. Don’t fail to join the Chamber of Commerce, and be sure to attend the meeting this evening TO PROLONG LIFE FIREMEN OUTING FINE GAME TODAY O ye fnns, here is something well worth your attention, and you arc go ing to be mightily interested in it un less the redness has faded out of your blood.

The new home of the Rockmart Woman’s Club was opened Friday with a very enjoyablo reception In the afternoon and evening. The buil ding is a handsome one, beautifully located, and the ladies arc naturally very proud of it. The purchase of the lot was made possible by the good work of Mrs. T. E. McBryde in se curing subscriptions for it; the Club had accumulated a fund about half large enough to put up the building, and arrangements were made for the balance ;and now President Flournoy, of the Southern States Portland Ce ment Co., hus most generously dona ted the handsome furniture for it. there in this enlightened age who j Dainty refreshments were served r.nd doesn’t like it? a ploasing program presented at the Prade’s All Stars, an organization reception Friday evening, and the sent out by a big sporting goods j |„,ii es n f the Club arc happy over the house in Atlanta, has been beating auspicious opening of their new homo Cartersville, Cnnton, Buford and oth- er North Georgia teams j For Sale.

You can be over-fed and yet prac tically starve to death. It is not how much you eat but what you eat that counts in the matter of nourishment, nnd there is no doubt thnt most peo ple could add many years to their lives by paying proper attention to what and how they cat. One of the most valunblo contribu tions to the store of public knowledge on this subject was made recently by Dr. Seale Harris, of Birmingham, the distinguished president of the South ern Medical Association, in an ad dress before a gathering of health of ficers in Atlanta. This is of especial interest here from the fact thnt Dr. Harris is an old Cedartown boy, who has attained eminence as a specialist in diseases of the stomach. The ad dress is as follows;— Dr. Harris’ Address. One of the great discoveries of this age is what is known ns the lso- dynamic luw, i. e., that food is con sumed in the human body much in the same way that an engine burns coal; and that the daily amount of food needed for an individual at rest or at work can be mensured by heat units as can be done with the fuel for a locomotive to make a short or long run. The simple principles of food values cun be understood by a 10- year old boy or girl who can be taught in an hour how to estimate the number of calories in each of his three daily meals, "It is not enough, however, to know simply the amounts of fats, starches and proteins that one should eat. He or she should also know something of vitamins thnt recently have been proved to exist in various foods. That, too, is simple, and a practical usable knowledge of vita mins can be learned in an hour or two by any person over ten and of average intelligence. Vitamin A that exists in milk, and its products, butter, chccBe, etc., nnd in the green vegetables and in many other foods, protects against tuber- ] culosis, pellagra and diseases of that class. Vitamin B, found in the out er portion, the germ Inyer, of wheut,! corn and rice, that the mills take from us, and also in many fresh veg- : etablcs, prevents beri-heri and other nervous diseases; while C, derived from the juice of the yellow fruits nnd vegetables, i. c., oranges, lemons, grape fruit, tomatoes, etc., prevents scurvy. The unfortunate cify dweller can not have his own cow nnd his own garden, but the dairyman and the truck farmers cun supply him and his family with the milk,butter and fresh vegetables that should be the most important part of his daily food. A quart of milk u day, fresh fruit and green vegetables every day in the year, added to bread nnd a little meat, fowl or fish, and n light dessert once a day, make up the perfect nu tritional day. The properly nourished person of any age is less liable to catch the con tagious diseases than the fat and the lean classes. I have never seen n well nourished individual develop tuber culosis, and when all the people know what and how much to eat, and live accordingly, the “great white plague’ will disappear from the earth. So will all other diseases be decreased; but health, happiness, efficiency and long evity will be increased and scientific medicine will have achieved another great triumph. With every new scientific discov ery there are those who try to com mercialize it; so with vitamins, the yeast manufacturers and the patent medicine profiteers huve created a demand for these so-culled concen trated vitamins. The well informed physician can prescribe foods that have greater vi tamin content that are cheaper than yeast or that which is put up in bot tles. Besides, these germs that are in yeast, unless killed by cooking, may be harmful to the stomach and intes tines. There is an old French proverb to the effect that “the doctor who prescribes for himself has a fool for a doctor and a fool for a patient.” The individual who prescribes yeast or patent medicine vitamins for him self on the advice of those who make outrageous profits in selling them, is a bigger fool than the doctor who prescribes medicines for himself, be cause the doctor does know some thing of the nature of his disease,and he also has some knowledge of the ef fects of the medicine which he takes. A very little effort studying one or two books that have been written for To be Especially Good This Year. A visit to Mammoth Cave— The sights of Cincinnati nnd Chicngo— A trip across the river to Canada, where Mi-. Volstead is unknown,— Ten days of sight-seeing and pleas ure-seeking— Thnt is the program that the chnmpion fire-lighters of Cedartown have mapped out for themselves. Following the usual custom, our City Council has appropriated $2,000 for the annual outing of our volun teer Fire Department —an outing thnt they earn many times over ev ery year. The boys will leave here at. 6.10 a. m. July 9th on the Central Railway. They will spend n few hours in Nash ville en route, nnd a day will be spent exploring the wonders of the world- famous Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Several hours will be spent in Cin cinnati and two or three dnys in Chicago. They will then go to their final destination at Tort Huron,Mich., where those who desire, to do so can cross over into Canadn. Three of the firemen—'Chief C. T. Bobo, Messrs S. R. Mendel and C. I. Scarbrough— will leave the party in Chicago, and take an extra trip to Niagara Falls nnd New York. The outing will be one of the best In the history of the Department,nnd the fire boys invite any of their friends to accompany them. The rate will bo $46, plus Pullman fare A Fine Troupe. The “Versatile Four,” with Mrs. W H. Trawiek us accompanist, pave a most enjoyablo entertainment Wed nesday evening at the palace, which was appreciated by a large audience. Their stage setting is that of four col lege girls discussing their plana for the future, und in this way they bring out a bright program of mirth and melody. Miss Paula Peacock ns so loist, Miss Annie Neely with songs nnd her’inimitable whistling, Miss Alma King with the saxophone, and Miss Albert Milsman with readings, all carried their parts well. The pro gram is one which they have devised j themselves, und is the equal of most of the Lyceum attractions which visit this section. The ladioa presented their enter tainment Tuesday evening to a good house in Rockmart, and will probab ly also-arrange a tour of other places. They would be well worthy of a place in any Lyceum circuit. popular rending is all that is necess ary for ar.y person to know the a- mounts and the varieties of food that increase efficiency and promote long evity. The home demonstration agents are also doing much to spread the gospel of rational eating. The health authorities should also aid in teach ing the public that a properly nour ished body is the best insurance n- gainst diseases of all kinds. The average length of human life has increased in the last 25 years; but it has been due to the prevention of diphtheria and other infectious diseases of childhood, and typhoid fever, malaria, yellow fever, malaria, yellow fever and other germ diseaMp. The application of the known fatts regarding the purification of the milk and water supplies of cities and the general use of the knowledge that orange or tomato juice is necessary for the perfect nutrition of infants has reduced the mortality among chil dren by about 25 per cent. The public should al&o know that during the last quarter of a century the death rate after 50 has increased In my opinion the increased con sumption per capita of meat and su gar accounts partly for the greater number of people who are sick and die of diseases of the arteries, heart and kidneys. When our health au thorities and the public learn that a life saved from the chronic degen erative diseases is as valuable as one saved from typhoid fever and that it also helps to lower the death rate, then the health and longevity of our people will be gre.atly improved. The greatest health problem of to day is in teaching the public the known facta regarding diet and nu trition. When parents learn that a cow and a garden for every family are as essential to good health as is a comfortable house in which to live, they have gone a long ways towards the successful roaring of their chil dren.
