JOHNNIE, KEBP YOUR SHOES ON
The great incidence of hook worm
^ong children in certain parts of
Georgia ia partly due to a custom
which perhaps no amount of discour-
spement will banish, namely: Going
barefooted.
Dr. W. M. Brady writes .Health
Talks for a number of newspapers.
One entitled “Johnnie, Get Your
Shoes Off" recently appeared in the
Atlanta Constitution. He begins like
this:
"This is the season of the year
when parents hake s6 much to fear
W naught to be afraid of; when kids
delight to bathe each day; though
sot in tubs we beg to say, if real
stuff they are made of. Breathes
there a man with soul so dead who
sever to his Bon hath said, Boy, what-
shii you weariAg shoes for? The
barefoot boy with cheeks- of tan will
Bake a dam sigh tfiner man if foot
wear he’s no use for.
"There are occasions and places
where it may be unwise and improper
t« go barefoot. There are regions in
the Southern states where the soil
ur ground is polluted with hookworm
sggs and larvae, due to the primitive
habits of the natives, and in such reg
ions it is dangerous for anyone to go
barefoot, for toe itch or ground itch
or dew itch (the primary stages of
bookworm infestation) is likely to-be
the price.”
In places where hookworm infos
tation does not exist, it is of course,
of great bneefit to the health of all
children, boys and girls, to go bare
foot. But the danger of hookworm
(flea.se in barefoot children far ex
ceeds these benefits. Of course, if it
were possible throughout our rural
sections, to make proper disposal of
sewage, then hookworm infestation
would gradually die out. Until this
i$ done, every infected child will
spread the infection to his barefoot
mates, and each of these in turn will
spread it to other barefooted child
ren.
Mothers, if you want yobr children
to nejoy the privileges of going bare
footed, see to it that the homes in
your community are provided with
proper sewage disposal facilities, or,
if this cannot be done it will be nec
essary to make your children wear
shoes all summer long. As certain
as barefooted children wade around
id damp places, ground itch will de
velop between their toes, and every
case of ground itch means'hookworm.
Hookworm infection means stunted
mental and.physical growth. Write
to your State Board of Health for in
formation about hookworm infection,
its prevention and cure.

AUGUSTA, Ga., Nov. 28.—Found
Sfuilty by a jury in United States
court of violating an injunction is
sued during the shopmen’s strike here
last summer, Clifford R. Wilson, said
to have been a car repairer at the
Georgia Railroad when the strike was
in progress, was sentenced by Judge
Barrett this morning to serve a sen
tence of three monhts in jail and to
pay a fine of $800.
After a hearing lasting through
the 'day the case went to the jury Fri
day evening at 8:30 o'clock and seal
ed verdict was returned early Friday
night being published in open court
this morning.
R. L. Chambers, representing the
defendant asked the mercy of the
court for his client, pointing out that
there existed a doubt as to Wilson
being on the scene o nthe- night of
August 18th, when three employees
of the Georgia Railroad shops were
attacked on Broad street. Judge Bar
rett, in passing sentence, said three
men had'recently faced him in Macon
on a similar charge. One of the men
was released, the judge said, because
the evidence of the government was
not sufficient to connect him with the
ease.
The other two, Judge Barrett ex
plained, were found guilty. He said
the mothers and the wives of the men
pleaded. with the district attorney's
office in behalf of the men, stating
that they were confident of their in
nocence. Neither the men nor their
friends, though, according to the
judge, would or could produce the
guiltyv man.
“I have no doubt personally but
what, the jury’s verdict in this case
is a correct One,” Judge Barrett said.
“If he’s not guilty, and the guilty
man can be produced, then that would
change the situation. I have been
wondering how I could show leniency
in this case in view of the statement
of counsel for the defendant that the
crime is a horrible one. It is clear
that the crime was deliberate, pre
meditated and planned out.”
Judge Barrett added that he
thought the men in the recent strike
had been badly advised. They appear
ed to believe that there should be no
limits to their efforts they should
employ to meet their misdirected
rights according to the judge.
“The thoughtful ones,” Judge Bar
rett said, “must have realized that
their acts were nothing more nor less
than war against their country; that
they hoped to make the country suf
fer to such an extent that a settle
ment would be forced, and thia Is
just the tactics employed in war be
tween two countries.”
The judge said he thought the
strike leaders were most responsible;
that this was the only palliation he
could see in this esse. The trouble,
is now ettled, everything w now peace
ful, and there is no reason to make
things more difficult, the court point
ed out. For that reason, he said, he
would impose the same sentence he
had imposed in the two cases at Ma
con.

The steam roller victory for the
school bonds here Friday resulted in
a score of ninety for bonds to thirty-
four against. We tip our hat with
all reverence and bow to every man,
wom*n and child in the surrounding
community who took an interest* In
t ie matter for bonds, an dsay, Well
done thou good and faithful servants,
We have often said, and still repeat,
we are sincerely proud of our neigh
bors, and proud that we live among
such intelligent, far-sighted people,
that stand for betterment aiid edu-
cat.onal upbuilding of our people and
section. Who wants to live in a com
munity without the best of schools
and churches? No one-with any in
telligence, for they are the rock foun
dation upon which ouf American civ
ilization stands. Educational and re
ligious systems are built. The best
is none too good for our people, and
we must have it. A good number of
prominent ladies took an active in
terest for bonds, and voted their first
time. Now listen, let our victors
reach down with a helping hand and
gently lift the opposition that was so
ig- ominiously flattened out by the
steam roller of intelligent public sen
timent and invite them in, in all sin
cerity, to take hold and be with us in
this great progressive movement. It
is not a one-man acair, nor a little
Faceville or one community, affair,
but it i3 intended for and will be ben
eficial to all our people in tho entire
surrounding section alike. Get busy
gentlemen, and don't grouch and
growl. There is great things in store
for ub in the future. We have laid
the foundation stone (our children)
and the building must be done.

mourn their death. The body of Mrs.
Hammock was carried back to her

both deceased parties have the sin

Both died of chronic troubles of a
