Is grounded on co-operate.
“In union strength;” now all who
pray
“Thy kingdom come” help win the
Iday
Against the foe all Christians hate
And with our God co-operate.”
l£ is the day of working together,
the watchwords are comity, Frater
nity, Federation, Co-operation.
The papers are constantly telling
us of business men convening by the
thousands to measure values, to dis
cuss financial problems in taking
the world for Christ.
The relation of temperance and
missions Is so vital, with object les
sons in every quarter of the globe
that surely all one will have to do,-
i i to present the need, and it will be
instantly realised and felt.
Our aim, in the words of our Na-
tknal Superintendent, is: “To unite
two mighty forces that make for
righteousness, and thereby to aug
ment the power of each.” It cannot
b • said that missionary work is one
thing, and temperance another. They
ere only two aspects of the same
cause, and the attempt to divide them
is to weaken, if not fatally cripple,
the strength of both.”
When Jesus stood on Olivet, and
spoke these words, “Go ye into all
the world and disciple all nations,"
He laid upon them S charge which
comes down to each Christian of
this generation—we cannot claim in
sincerity to be His disciple if we are
not ready to yield to yield obediance
this command—in plain words we
are not.
Christ came not only tq preach
and teach, but he was also manifest
ed to destroy the works of the deivil.
We must co-operate with Jesus.
It is the testimony of many, yea,
very many missionaries, that among
all the devices for defeating th la
bor of the servants of our Lord, none
equals in effectiveness the soul and
body destroying liquor curse. This is
fact.
Th united testimony of mission
aries from all chnrches, Is that “The
greatest ob:iacle to the progrese ot
misaionary work today is the liquor
exported from Christian Ian'*.” It
is true that for iovo of go 11 , these
rum dealer! are entering the very
doors which our foreign Missionary
boards have opened. Isn’t it a re
proach to our nation, which pro
claims that the Lord He is God, to
permit the shipment of liquor to
these fields. Listen to the following
testimony: Bishop Newman writes:
"Africa, I say.it with all reverence,
but so far as human eye* can see,
Africa would be better off today
without the presence of miesionaries
than that the ship that brings him
should also bring strong drink.” Hs
adds, “Rum is the greatest barrier
to our missionary work in Africa,
and not only Africa, but everywhere
We will fail in Africa, unless w* have
the Christian governments of the
esrth to supprees this terrible. traf
fic,"
Africa, with the simple gospel of
Jesus, is saved, but Africa with rum
i- lost.
To every misaionary that the
church sends out, the United States
sends 13,000 barrels of whiskey
rum. .
Friends, do we not owe n debt to
these people, (subject to like pas
sions as we are) because of the deg-
rdation our exportation of rum and
beer has brought to them.
You remember that John G. Paton
came home to plead with the govern
ment at Washington to stop the nim
traffic. He said, “While the church
is spending precious lives and money
for the evangelisation of the heathen
it is sad to see the enemies of tho
cross following in the wake of the
missionary destroying his influence
—so-called Christian nations making
ten drunkards to one convert.” Do
you kow that it is a fact that the
United States spends for liquor in
twenty-seven days, and for tobacco
in fifty-four days as much as has
teen spent for the spread of the gos
pel in 80 years? The cost of liquo:
in one month end twenty-seven day*
is three times the sum spent in the
nineteenth century for mission work.
One sinner destroyeth much
good.” This being true of one sin
ner, how much good would a nation
destroy?
There it a remedy for all of this
this “distilled liquor is sent from
our own land, goes abroad on our
own ships, and with the sanction of
ur own people, under the protection
of our nation’s flag,” and it is not
required to pay the usual govern
ment tax Imposed upon liquor pro
duced and consumed within the
limits of our country.
As w* pray for National Prohibl-
tion, we ar* praying for the stone of
(tumbling to be removed and the way
mads dear for the coming of the
King. This is the remedy.
FOLIO-MYELITIS OR INFANTILE
PARALYSIS—ITS SYMPTOMS
AND TREATMENT.
Polio-myelitis is a disease prin
cipally occurring in children of from
one to five years of age—hence the
synonym, infantile paralysis. The
cause of the disease is probably a
microscopical germ. The disease oc
curs as isolated cases or sometimes
as a widespread epidemic. There
seems to have been an increase in
the prevalence of the disease during
the last few years. It is estimated
that from 1907 to 1910 there were
at least 20,000 cases in the United
States. It is an established fact
that it is a contagious disease; the
contagion being transmitted by di
rect contact, by a third person, by
eats and dogs, and possibly by flies
and other insects. The incubation
period—that is, the time elapsing
between the time of exposure and
time of development of symptoms—•
is probably from one to fourteen
days.
While adults may be attacked the
greatest incidence is among very
young children, so the course of the
disease will be described from that
standpoint
The attack usually comes on sud
denly. A child which has been pre
viously well and healthy suddenly i
taken with fever, complains of head
ache, aching in the limbs and-back
becomes dull and somnolent or rest
less and delirious. There may als
be vomiting and diarrhoea, twitch
ing of muscles or convulsions. Oc
casionly there is stiffness of the mus
cles in'the neck and limbs, and fre
quently there is pain and tenderness
in the back and lower extremities.
The duration and intensity of these
symptoms are variable, lasting from
one or two days to'as long as a week
or more. After the above symp
tom* have subsided the parents no
tice that the child ia more or less ex
tensively paralized. The muscles of
the trunk ere sometimes involved but
usually the paralysis of the extremi
ties is more noticeable, Either one
or both legs, both legs and an arm,
both arrae, or all the extremities
may be paralyzed. The child is un
able to move' the one affected, and
the part feels cold and damy, looks
somewhat blue, and in time, unless
recovery takes place, becomes much
smaller and shorter than the extremi
tis not involved. The reflexes in the
diseased limbs, are lost but sensibil
ity is rtained. -After a time, unless
the disease has proved fatal daring
the scute stage, th* child’s general
condition improves and sometimes
tho paralysis entirely disappears,
and the child is again restored to
perfect health. Unfortunately, how
ever, not Infrequently the paralysis
persists to the same degree as in the
beginning, or only partially clears
Various deformities may take
place as a result of the contraction
of the healthy muscles being unop
posed by the paralyzed muscles. In
tills way curvature of the spine,
club feet and the like are brought
about.
The above symptoms and changes
occur as a result of the poisons
thrown off by the gferms causing the
disease first attacking the entire
body and later becoming localized in
part of the gray matter of the spinal
cord. The extent of the paralysis
which results depends on the extent
of the destruction of this gray mat
ter; and the parts paralyzed de
pend on the level of the cord attack
ed.
As the disease is contagious, its
spread is to be guarded against in
the same manner as in the case of
ether contagions diseases, such as
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria,
and so on. The patient should be
promptly isolated, and a physician
put in charge of the case as early
as possible. No more people than
absolutely necessary should be ex
posed, and children should be espec
ially excluded from the room.
Sputum and mucous from the nose
and throat should be cought on rags
or paper and burned at once. The
urine and bowel movements should
be thoroughly mixed with a strong
disinfectant before they are thrown
out. Strong, freshly mode white
wash is a good disinfectant, as are
formalin, carbolic acid and
chlorinted lime.
Cats and dogs may carry the dis
ease; therefore they should be kept
out of the room.
The fact that flies may carry the
disease should not be forgotten. The
sick room should be well screened,
and any flies gaining entrance into
the room should be promptly killed.

of tho sick room, write to the State
Board of Health for Bulletin, VoL

Freight Bate Discriminations
Do Exist in Georgia
The railroads of Georgia, have suggested for the consideration of the Railroad
Commission of Georgia, at the hearing on August 17, a system of rates that it is dp* 1
lieved will eliminate the discriminations now existing between the cities and towns in
Georgia.
There are approximately two thousand railroad stations (cities and towns) > n
Georgia. About sixty of these cities and towns are accorded what are known as “bas
ing point rates,” which means that these comparatively few points enjoy lower rates,
than the other nineteen hundred and forty points.
The rates between these comparatively few basing points are lower than the rates
between intermediate points and lower than for like hauls in other directions.
The basing point system has been condemned by the Federal Congress, the In
terstate Commerce Comission, the Railroad Commission of Georgia and the authorities
of other States.
In their desire to retain the advantage they have enjoyed, a considerable number
of these sixty favored larger cities and towns (basing points) are opposing a freight rate
revision in Georgia.
The railroads have been put on notice by the Supreme Court of the United States
and the Interstate Commerce Commission that they must harmonize state and interstate
fates. v
In the Shreveport case, the Supreme Court of the United States held:
“Tho power to deal with the relations between two kinds of rates as a relation lies
exclusively with Congress. It is manifest that the State cannot tlx the relation of a car
rier’s inter and Intrastate charges without directly Interfering with the former, unless It
simply follows tlio staiulrad set by the Federal authorities.”
The Interstate Commerce Commission, pursuant to an Act of Congress, has order
ed the elimination of the basing point system. To conform to the requirements of this
order the railroads were compelled to make a radical revision of interstate rates.
Correction of interstate systems of rales in conformity with present legal require
ments, without correcting intrastate systems so as to conform to the same standard,
. would create situations repugnant to the laws against discrimination.
It is necessary to bring about a revision of rates in the entire Southeast in order,
to harmonize intrastate rates with interstate rates.
9
A beginning in the matter of revision of intrastate rates must be made. The rail*
roads first petitioned the Railroad Commission of Georgia for a revision because,more ■
discriminations and inequalities exist in this State than in any other State in the South*
Petitions are now being prepared for presentation to the Railroad Com
missions of various States in the Southeast with this object in view. >
What the railroads of Georgia now propose to the Railroad Commission of Georgia
Is a revision of Georgia rates in conformity with the principles that the Interstate Com*
merce-Commission, pursuant to Federal, law, has required them to observe in adjusts
ing interstate rates.
We do not believe that the people of Georgia expect or require a preferential ad*
justment of freight rates.
The real Question involved is whether the proposed revision is just and reasons
able from the standpoint of the railroads and the shippers, and such advances as are
proposed should not be condemned simply because they are advances.
mum,
It is not sad will not be th* policy at the Railroads of Georgia to pro
pose any system of rates which would (Sacrim&iate tmjtntiy against the
Geosjrfe producer in favor of ptodnemrs located at points without the State.
Should me principle appear to be violated by any technical construction of
the petUqp we giro esiuranci that we will not propose, nor will we attempt
The intOeets of the people and the intents of 'Railroads are identical. Any sys
tem of rate making which works a hardship on the one works a hardship on the other.
The primaty Object in the proposed revision is to systematize Georgia freight rates so
that all dtie* and towns may be put on an equal basis and discriminations removed.
Some rates will be increased while others will be lowered, if, in the readjustment,
the railroads ehjoy Increased revenue it will not be unreasonable for the Commission to
grant it, became the railroads have heretofore shown the tremendous advance in toe
cost of everything which enters into die manufacture of transportation.
Commlsjoaer Daniel, of the Interstate Commerce Commission, in the investiga
tion of the 1§15 Western Rate Advance Case, said:
“in the matter of rate regulation and fixation we have reached a point where one
of two courses ought deliberately to be chosen and clearly announced. If, despite in
creased costs not offset by increased revenue, Increases in rates are to be denied, ex
cept where in Individual instances gross injustice would be occasioned by their denial!
the carriers ought to be apprised of this policy, so that they may set their house ia
order, if they can, against such a situation. If, on the other hand, we are to acknowl
edge in general, what we are perforce compelled to admit in detail, just and reasonable
increased rates should be permitted not grudgingly but with such fair measure of allow-
ance as will indicate that the transportation Industry is entitled in the Interest of the
public to earnings sufficient to provide a service commensurate with public needs."'
