HA, NOVEMBER' 31,190b ARTESIAN WATER. Every so often the worm-eaten myth about SoutlTGeorgia being an unhealthy section is resurrected from the'tomb, The'boy or girl with Is to love children, and no’ home can be completely-' The state board of health^ lias started • to work in a vigorous fashion that must meet with the commendation of every one interested in the health of Georgia. In the past the sanitary regulations have been few in number and poor in observance. The board of health under the new law has power to change all this, and they are'going to change it, too. They have commenced an active campaign in Tv^acon—and they will d6 likewise in other cities where necessity demands. The Atlanta Constitution tells of their action in Macon as follows: "The special committee of the state board of health—Drs. Westmoreland,- ' Harris and Williams—which has been ' in session here for tliree days /past, af ter reviewing some of the health condi tions of the connty, has pnt it up to tie board of county commissioners to im prove the health conditions of Bibb or stand the consequences. The health board was brought here by representa tions as 1 to certain conditions obtaining and after cupful inspection and investi gation declared^ that a competent physi cian nlionld! bet selected by the' board to whom fall authority and power to act in accordance with* law should be de legated. In reaching this conclusion the health board was- actuated by a de sire to eradicate all possibility as to a ' recurrence of contagions diseases which held sway, to a certain extent, here last winter. The board of county commis sioners convened this afternoon to give attention to the suggestions- of the health department, and without a dis senting voice selected Dr.,0. (21. Gibson, one of the thirty physicians, to'see that the suggestions of the board were car ried out. Dr. Gibsou'will relieve the county physician of the work indicated , by the commissions in nuking thcaelec- tion, but will have power to call om that physician at any time for help or id- , I -happy without them, yet the 1 ordeal through which the ex- ’ pectant mother must pass usually js so full of suffering, danger and fear that she look* forward to the critical 0 hour with apprehension and dread.

Sometime, however, there is a drop of sweetness in the bitter r cup, and a newspaper wiser-and. better informed than others, gives tins section of the state its due. In a recent issue of the Augusta Chronicle, that paper discusses this ques tion and pays a tribute to the man who bored the first artesian well and made fever flee. It says: “Among the prominent viators to the Angnsta reunion, is Mr. John P. Fort, now' a resident of Athens, Ga. , where he incidentally manages his extensive fruit . orchards in North Georgia and the south western section of the. state. Yearn ago, Mr. Fort determined, in his own * mind, that under the soil of that pare of the commonwealth, at . the depth of several hundred feet, was a vast artesian basin and that it conld.be made to sur render its inexhaustible treasures of pdre water. The geologists, or rather some of them,““gave him no encouragement and his neighbors rather laughed at his scheme. But he bored a well, and, after numerous vicissitudes, it began to flow copiously, and is flowing to this day. That discovery revolutionized South Georgia. From being the most unheal thy section of the state, IT BECAME THE HEALTHIEST, and it was demon- strated, as artesian water became com mon. that bilious fever, intermittent fe ver and hemorrhagic fever, to say-noth ing of many stomach disorders, did not come from the air, but the water. The air is still the same, but the water sup ply was changed. Pure water, thus re vealed/was the greatest material bless ing South Georgia* ever was endowed with, and John P.-Fort was theVbenign magician vjbp introduced this transfor mation. He is, therefore, one the greatest benefactors the state has ever known, and he is welcome to Augusta.^ “Georgia is proud of her statesmen, her merchants, her soldiers and h$r industrial and agricultural sons. If he who makes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before is deemed an honor to his country,-what praise must be bestowed on liim who makes thous- onds of fruit trees blossom where one bloomed before, and, in addition, un sealed the .pure artesian waters for a whole section of the state, where dis ease once reigned a menace and a scourge." .

John Cockerell, in The Cosmopolitan said “There are three uni que cities in America, and' one of these is Salt Lake City.” It is not only uni que in its temple, tabernacle- and other- Mormon church institutions* but quaint in appearance, with its wide streets, im mense blocks and martial rows of shade trees. It has, perhaps, more attractions to-the square yard than aay city in the country, and its climate, while temper ate all the year round, is particularly delightful in summer. The Great Salt Lake, with its magnificent Saltair resort, where the’water is “deader and denser" than that in the Dead Sea in Palestine, is an attraction in itseto that people’ come miles to see.

Moreover for the first time in half a century the ratio i of increase in the world’s production of cane sugar has exceeded that of sugar . made from beets, the percentage of in- cue savin the formar product in the five 1 years being about double that of the Latter.
