IAF 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 State Hoard of Health. Atlanta. Ga. FOR PENT—No 508, Broughton street; 5 rooms, kitchen and lath. House screened.

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.

So praceful in its lines and so beautiful in its finish that no car can surpass it in appearance and style. So complete in its appointments and its provisions for comfort that we know of nothing which could be added. Luxurious in its twelve-inch deep, fine hair cushions. Qmet and handsome. ‘ t^pm the driver’s seat—without the turn of a crank. Sturdy, for years of service. eTie’ nothing ’ 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.

BAINBRIDGE, GA. Factory and Home Office: HAYNES AUTOMOBILE COMPANY, KOKOMO, INDIANA LiGE KM 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.
