Georgia State Board of Health Point*
Out How Disease Might Be Erad
icated Through Proper
Precautions.
Atlanta, (la., July 24.—(Special;)'—
Do you know how to tell the differ
ence between the Anopheles and the
Culex? Or, to put it in plain Eng
lish, could you tell the difference, if
you tried, between the malarial mos
quito, the particular mosquito which
carries and transmits the germs of
malaria and to which the name Ano
pheles is given, and the common, or
dinary, every day mosquito which is
known as the Culex?
There is one important distinguish
Ing feature, about which there is
nothing scientific or involved, and it
is this: Observed when at rest upon
a wail or oilier surface, the body of
the malarial mosquito is almost
straight and sticks out from the sur
face upon which it rests, while the
body of the common mosquito is bent
forming an angle, and both its beak
and tail point toward the surface to
which it is attached.
The accompanying illustration
shown this difference so that any one
may recognize it. Every one should
have Mils Information, for it may
prove of material assistance in avoid
ing a dangerous uttack of malariul
fever.
! .n ti-c.rgia is that which produces a
l, ii every other day. I he disease
| n a> come on insidiously producing
bii <»us or remittent fever; it may
come in chronic form, subjecting the
pat ent to attacks of fever a* irreg
ular intervals for years; the brain
may become affected, producing
alarming symptoms, and in many
cases the malady ultimately termi
nates in chronic liright's disease.
Quinine and other drugs are used
in the treatment, according to cir
cumstances and the particular form
t disease manifests; but it is not
advisable to prescribe these except
under the advice and*direction of a
physician.
The State Hoard of Health at its
laboratory in the state capitol, At
lanta, is prepared to make examina
tions of the blood of any person for
malarial parasites, free of charge, and
will very gladly make such tests and
report the results to any one desir
ing them. Specimens should be ad
dressed to Hr. II. F. Harris, Secretary

The malarial mosquito is found in
many sections of Georgia, and in
some parts of the state the preva
lence of the disease lias proven a
serious drawback to development.
The Georgia Stute Hoard of Health
lius already (lone much work loo King
to the eradication of malaria, and
since the disease can he'prevented it
certain precautions uro taken. It Is
jnu’crtnnt that the people of Georgia
should know lust whiij shoulcj ho done
to leyp “i «•»! l*o'
It Pus been proven beyond all
-doubt piat malaria is contracted only
•through tile bite of the Anopheles
mosquito. Thu luosqulio bites u per
son suffering from malaria: the gertus
lire iitjom up with tly> blwd »“fh tjie
'TuOsquiio sucks! 'After tin- p.Jper pe-
rlod of Incubation, about eight days,
these germs make their way to the
venom gland of the mosquito and are
transmitted Into the blood of the next
person It bites: This Is the process,
and It goes oh and on. and the germs
of malaria are transmitted from one
person to another solely and only
through the agency of tills particular
kind of mosquito.
The malarial mosquito lives chiefly
in or around the house or-stable, and
Is rarely seen In the woods or the
open. Ills favorite haunt Is in the
dark coiners of rooms or stables, lie
does Ids work by night, rarely ever
becoming active during the day,
which explains why the danger from
him Is reduced to a minimum during
the daylight hours
The Board of Health Inis already
called attention, in an article given
to the press aud published generally
over the state, to the importance of I
screening houses. Only by effective!
screening can this dangerous insect, i
along with tiles and other insect pests,
be kept out. Persons In malarial dls |
trlcts should not sit upon open porch-1
es at night, and should take care to
sleep under properly constructed tuts.
If this is done there is no danger of
any one contracting the disease.
These precautions are not necessary
during the day, because, as slated,
the malarial mosquito rarely attempts
to bite except at night
Those who have the disease should
remember that they are a consign'
source of danger to others about
about them, and should not only treat
it vigorously, but should also he dou
bly rareful as long as they have the
disease to avoid being bitten by a
mosquito at night.
Many children often have malaria
without showing symptoms of it. and 1
unless tin v sleep under nets are lia
ble to infect large numbers of mos
quitoes. The blood of children In ma- '
lurlal localities alum Id he examined
from time to tlnn and if the para
sites are found, they should he given
proper treatment until cured.
Almost atl negroes in malarial to-
ealities are affected, though very few
of them show symptoms of ihe dls
ease. It is important, therefore, that i
they should be treated properly and j
their white neighbors should see to i
it. for their own protection, that such
negroes do not sleep in houses unpro
tcct« d by nets.
if tnese precautions were carried
out for a few months, malaria would I
practically cease to exist in Georgia,
and would not recur unless individu
als suffering from it should pome Into
dlFirieM where the Anopheles inos
quite is present.
The i-erm or parasite of malaria at-
lurks the red corpuscles of the blood
and produces a poison that causes the
rvmptojns characteristic of malaria.

Always ready to stari»-righti
Such, in brief, is ths v newest Haynes, Model 22. You can see it at our show rooms now, today. The
denr 'd f ' this rerfect, complete automobile—into every part and every line and every feature of which has
beer. rail. :.ine:een years of Haynes experience—has been instantaneous and insistent, but we shall have a
liberal ailotment of cars and we hope to be able to fill all orders.
America's First Car Still Its Foremost
lerica s Mrs
America"— *est car—America’s first car—is now truly America’s
first car in [xrlnt of efficient completeness and the luxury of the
car, the Haynes Company has not trimmed its quality of workman
ship in a single detail. On the contrary, there has been a better
ment, made possible by the almost daily improvement of factory
equipment and manufacturing processes. In quality of materials and
workmanship—in all the little details of mechanical precision—the
newest Haynes equals or excels any of the previous Haynes Models
which have so firmly established Haynes eharactor—and Model 22
offers much that no previous Haynes or any other car ever has offered.
It has true beauty of design; such roominess as you never saw in any
other automobile: the very extreme of comfort, to please those who
seek luxury; and an clc-trc starting and electric lighting equipment of
utmost simplicity ax.7. absolutely 100 per cent efficiency.
A Starting Device That Is Not An Experiment
There were many experimental devices loudly proclaimed last year.
The Hi.ynes Company said nothing about self-starters. It kept ryght
along I -.hiding the Havnes with a crank—and setting more cars than it
could hitihl. No one who knew Haynes history wondered at this.
The Haynes Company has never asked the public to do its experi
menting. It never offers the public a part or a feature on a Haynes
car until that part or feature has been proved right. Six months ago
the Haynes Company believed — after long experimentation—it had
solved the self-starting problem, — an electric cranking device which
would start the car every time under all conditions and never allow any
possibility of injury to the motor. But even then they waited. Waited
to be very sure. And now, after many months of testing and testing,
they are sc. re.
Model 22 is built with this perfect electrical starting equipment,
and it is a certainty—not an experiment. Just by a simple movement
of the gex r-shifting lever it starts the car every time, starts it very
quickly and quietly. Starts the car under adverse conditions which it
seems could not arise in an owner’s experience.
Starter Simple and Sure—Has Never Failed
The Haynes Starter has never failed. It cannot fail. And the
equipment is so free from complications, so very simple, that if the
wiring ever should become defective any electrician could repair it.
Neither the car. nor the motor, (starting device) nor the dynamo (light
ing device) would have to be sent back to the factory. Consider that
point carefully.
Come see the new Haynes now. We will arrange demonstration,
if desired, to suit your convenience..
ex Every Possible Provision for Comfort
jbie, 4 and Ease of Operation
It is quite impossible to express
fully by illustration the luxury of
Haynes Model 3d upholstery. The
cushions, slightly tilled dow nward
at tin rear, are of fine hair and
TWELVE INCHES THICK the
deepest cushions ever used in
American cars. All our uphol
stery is of our cu n manufacture
and the covering is finest hand
buffed leather.
There is no crank on the new
Haynes. And no need for one,
for the starter really starts the
car. Note the sturdy, graceful
lines of radiator, fenders and axle.
—all reflecting that distinguished
character which you see in every
Haynes, and that character which
you could only expect to find
incorporated in higher priced
cars.

Georgia State Board of Health „
«->w to Keep Out ^
improperly Cured
Corn.
Atlanta, Ga.. July 10.- (S p eciia
’’Why should you pay good Oo!
for and consume bad corn any “
than you would buy and eat dec
fish or fruit?” asks the' Georgia *,
Board of Health in a disi
the disease, pellagra and i la
ing cause. ^
Georgia has had her share anti m
of the increased number of
pellagra, acute and chronic,
years, and the State Board of Hi
is giving every possible attention
the study of the cause and prey
of this disease which usually
nates fatally.
The best scientific opinion of
world today is agreed that the p K |
able cause of pelagra is bad
corn which has been improperly (
which has been cut giG,
winch fermentation sets up durii
the process of drying out-
which fermentation may be ’produc
by dampness due to careless munih
alter tne grain has ripened. So3
poisonous substance is thus product
in the grain, which the best media
opin.cn throughout the world is u
conndent, is me producing cause
pellagra.
'i i.e State Board accepts this tin
ory, in the light of all the tvidenct-
and it is abundant—as the eorrttl
one; but whether it be correct or no'
certi.nly there is no answer to tu
argument presented in tile Board
query, "Why should anyone buy h
corn? ’ It is known beyond quest:
mat spoiled corn will kill horses a
c.„.r ..i.imals, and that its eft.,
upon the human system must there]
fore be deleterious. SO why shouu
anyone buy it at all, even at reduce
price, and take me Uangeroui
chances?
in fact, why should not the sta
itself take a hand and forbid the i
puliation and sale in Georgia of bay
or improperly cured corn? Such 1-1
islattve action the Sta'e Heard
Health strongly urges and recom<
mends. The state now seeks to pro
tect the people In the matter of tool
purity of their food products; b:,t|
there is none in which the law sho e if
mote carefully scrutinize than ’com
which is so widely and generally uM
as a food product both for man a.,
beast.
. it is not necessary here to go into
the litany theories which have beet
adduced as to the cause of pellagra.
With the single exception of the now
generally accepted belief that pellagu
is caused by eating bad corn, e«7
one of ihese theories lias been die
proven or rejected as wholly unteri-
bte because of the fact that the coudi
tiens involved, while they may aj
pear in one section where pellagra
Is prevalent, are ’.holly lacking oth
«rs where the disease is just as bad
or worse.
As early as 1000 the deleteriou
effect of corn or maize products on
the human system was noted. It wa
found to be a common food produc
with those affected with pellagra. Til
disease has been found to prevail pai
ticularly in those countries in whic
the seasons are so short that the
grain does not properly ripen;
also it has been shown to have made
Its appearance wherever people "'ere
in the habit of eating corn after it
has undergone fermentative changes
It is well known that corn, when bad,
will quickly kill horses, and liunierou
experiments have shown that extra,
made from fermented corn possess
toxic or poisonous properties.
"It is noteworthy,” says the Board,
“that in the United States pellagra
did not make its appearance to any
extent until Western corn growers In
gan the practice of cutting the euur
stalk in a green state and piling the',
up together In the fields, there to re
main exposed to all of the vicissitudes
of the weather until the winter
far advanced, or even until the suc
ceeding spring, when the demand for
corn came on In the Southern states-
Here are some facts that are known
regarding pellagra: ...
"Pellagra occurs in all countries
where, corn products are habitual:
used as food; It does not occur •
any country where such products are
not habitually used as food; it dm not
exist in Europe prior to the introduc
tion of tnaize, and did not attract at
tention until this cereal had become
a common article of diet; pellagra M*
ceased to exist in certain distnc
where other crops have repine” <1 com
and where it is no longer habltua-J
used as food: pellagra has probably
always existed in North America a
it has long been known in .Mexico,
and the increase of it in this rotintr,
unquestionably followed the i ntro ', ! r .
tion of the Western method of .Har
vesting corn in the green state.
Concluding, the Board of Heau
says; .
"As there is every reason to “
lieve that bad corn is the cause ^
pellagra, and no evidence that, it ;
not, it Is our duty to use every u'S- •
mate method to prevent its import,
tion into the state and its sale m o
markets. Even granting that P 1 -*',
gra is not produced by form a-
maize, we are sure);.- entitled to*®,
corn when we ps.v our money ■
it; there can be no possible ma.-
for wishing to buy rotton corn
“The thoroughly ripeni d and
preserved corn of these latuntiesi •-•
unquestionably, a good. , °
food, and can be eaten in the 1
as it has been in the past witlto '
effect; but the State Board of*
deems that it Is but doing jLiy
to the people .of Georgia in sole ”
warning them'against the < yll c •
quences ot eating the .". es!ern .„?r!ce
net so long as the pernicious pra ■ j
continues of cultivating a " p a . .
vitiated plant combined with a
od of harvesting which is noth-ni
than criminal. , , _, rf ,ac
