The eummer girl doesn’t shoeing herself. mind FloTida is gradually drying up, according to reports. o Anything that will make things cheaper is to be desired. Cheap school books is what Geor gia needs, but its teachers need their ©heap pay on time. They are still promising relief from the heat wave. The guess will bar® to come true, sooner or later. It’s too hot to be particularly keen wbout anything but it does make you loel better when the home team win*. There are lots of vegetables that will rot this summer, because there is no place where they can be con veniently canned. Just think how not it is in Wash ington and what bother it would be so 'nave to be a congressman and worry over the tariff bill. That Balkan war business is get ting a bit stale. The little king doms haa better quit fighting and try to make up for lost time. There never has been a factory in Thomasville that didn’t make money when properly managed. There era too few of them, however. Let’s have better and more regu larly enforced health regulations. They always pay ten fold when sys tematically planned and executed. They say that in the revised gam© of whist in suffragette countries, the queen outranks the king. The Jack ought, therefore, to be next the Ace. The Beb and Yank have had their time together and now they will go away with another and more inter esting tale for the young ones com- The President’s daughter is to wed in November. Engaged and married in the thirteenth year and the daugh ter of a lucky thirteen house, she ought to have a prosperous life. Women wph walking canes have be*-:, seer, in this city for several years past, but Atlanta has just had one. Th% spasms of write-ups and pictures were- really ner\e racking. That actress who was called a •beautiful dream" proved the pro verbial night mere when she took a half million from the guy that was f*o! enough to indulge in the gush. The Masons of the Second District are most cordially welcomed to Thomasville. We would like for %hem all to remain and be one of us for many days. Kansas women always doing funny etunts, are eclipsed by the one who raised twenty-one children and then sued her husband for a divorce. The ground* were not mentioned, but it is not hard to imagine. There are thousands of dollars to be made in truck farming m and around Thomasville. Those who try it even on a small and imprac tical scale see the possibilities of ti»e industry if properly developed. WHAT OF OI K HEALTH? X solemn note of warning has been sounded to the City Council and the people of Thomasville, by the Health Department, or rather, the City Physician, to whose care is now en trusted the health of the city. We h av length with the city physician and he is of the opinion that the recom mendations made are vital to the health of the town, vital to all of ita people and especial}* so during the summer months. The communi cation was received as read and or dered spread upon the minutes of that body. There it received its last sad requiem and what is termed a decent interment. So be it, if it must be, but the City Council is making the same •grave mistake that other councils have made, when they refused eith er because of public opinion or per- no matter what inconvenience it may work upon the individual, is done in the Interest and for the welfare of the people, by those whom we select to pass laws, en force regulations and conduct a mu nicipality, free and devoid of death traps and unsanitary menaces. He discussed the matter at some ga y i; sonal feeling, to pass measure-* w hich are recommended to them by j citizens, their children and aluable animals." men who have studied health con ditions and know what is what and why. The city physician is nothing more or less than a. private citizen, as far as the council is concerned, unless they recognize his knowledge and the character of his advice, and take steps to have it carried out. He is an official of the city, selected because of his knowledge of medi cine and sanitary requirements. If he is so selected, he should be recog nized at least with the courtesy of some action. Take his statement as it ap peared: "We have visited many sections of the city where inadequate drainage and filth accumulation are such as to endanger the health of the resi dents approximate thereto, and have recommended that these places be drained and made sanitary. A re cent investigation discloses the fact that these recommendations have so far not been executed. We respectfully call your atten tion to this matter a second time, and further recommend that the common health of the community, it is the sense of this board that the sale of farm products di not re quire a county license.

To the Honorable, Board of Com missioners of Roads and Revenues of Thomas county. The petition of the Southwest 1 Georgia Telephone Company respect fully shows unto your honorable body. 1st. That said Telephone Com pany has constructed and now has in operation, a telephone line from the town of Pavo South along the Thotnasville-Pavo road to the houses of a good many citizens of Thomas county, residing between Thomas ville and Pavo. 2nd. That at the last meeting of your board, a resolution was passed calling upon the said telephone com pany, requiring ‘hem to get permis sion to continue the use of the said public highway, toe said Thomasvlle and Pavo public road, for the pur pose of continuing the said public highway for the purpose cf sai l tel ephone i'.he. 3rd. Y-ur Petitioners do not ask that a franchise be granted them for the uses and purposes aforesaid so as to bind your Honorable body to allow the use or said public high way for any definite length of time, but they only ask that the line now- constructed be allowed to remain in use and operation until your Hon orable body shall order them re moved. Your petitioners show that the said line in no way interfered with, or obstructs the use of said highway, nor does it do any damage to said highway, nor does it obstruct travel on said highway. We fully realize that some of the foregoing recommendations, if put in force, may be more or less objec- tionable and inconvenient to some people. This we would sincerely regret. It is almost, if -not quite impossible, to Institute any impor tant changes of procedure or prin ciples in the management of any municipal department without doing so: but the importance of the meas ures suggested to the great majority of our people in the effort of this department to reduce the dangers that have always beset us (here and elsewhere), we hope and believe would at once appeal to those who may find such objections, as abso lutely necessary in the effort to safe- guard the health and lives of our their Council could go many and de vious paths in the search of health ful legislation and find few things that would prove more beneficial than better health laws for Thom asville. penses.

The breeding place of flies is the most damnable nuisance' that any com munity can harbor. If there is a '•'ay of destroying its effect, why do councils or mayors or city autho-i- ties hesitate to adopt them Just for “information" again. The Doctor recommends the zlin,' of dogs. He stated that they should be effectively muzzled and when allowed on the streets in the season when dogs are known to go mad, should be so fixed with a steel or wire muzzle as to absolutely pre vent its biting anything, be it man <>r anitual. There is such u law on the statute books of the city of thomasville. This also just for “in formation.” He recommends that privies should b© screened. Mayor Luke is work ing on an ordinace right now to have this done and he will bring Ui»* matter up for final settlement at the next meeting. The council should without hesitation adopt it.
