THURSDAY. APRIL 7, 1921. CONCERNING THE RED CROSS WORK The Money Loss Entailed by Sickness. Take Precautions to Safeguard Your Health. In taking any precautions to safe guard health it is well to consider the actual value of health as compared to the loss entailed by sickness. This is quite possible to do because careful es timates have been made of the economic value of the individual to the state; this valuation begins at the estimate of $90.00 at birth to the maximum of $4100.00 at the age of thirty years which is considered the age of the greatest producing power. Therefore, In any effort to preserve public health we are, at the same time, preserving public wealth and when we are ex pending public money for such health essentials as public health nurse we are in reality making an economic invest ment which will bear interest for the state. Our local Red Cross Chapter may not have thought of the matter in this way at all but it is one phase of the situation wich it is well to consider. Public heath nursing means, as its name implies not nursing for sickness but nursing to preserve health, and this is exactly in line with the most mod ern ideas of preventive medicine. It is not the loss of individuals alone which entails a drain on the public resources but, prolonged or frequent ly recurrent illness has identically the same effect in an even greater degree. For instance for every death that oc curs two persons are continually ill, hence the saving of three lives means that we have prevented six cases of chikraic illness; if we estimate these cases at the low cost of SI.OO a day medical attendance we will see that the saving to the nation is very great and the saving to a given community is great in the same proportion. This is a practical statement of act ual facts, and apart from all personal Teasons of sentiment, affection, or hu man appeal, it would seem that invest ing in health Is a good economic meas ure. We can and will, at a later day give some figures as to the cost of different diseases, but this group consideration of the money loss from general sick ness is well worth our careful atten tion.

THE WINDER NEWS 1899 —1921 The Oldest National Bank in 4 Adjoining Counties Winder National Bank and Its Conservative Management IN SELECTING a bank the average depositor natural ly expects ample resources to take care of his require ments, integrity, full compliance with the banking laws, security, accuracy, and the many other things that go to make up the stock in trade of a bank. But he posi tively demands CONSERVATIVE MANAGEMENT. PROGRESSIVENESS TEMPERED BY CONSERVA TISM upon the part of the management has played an important part in the development of the Winder Na tional Bank from its modest beginning in 1899 with $15,000 capital stock to its present position among the representative banks of the country, with a capital of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars and a surplus of One Hundred and Fifteen Thousand Dollars. This remarkable record of achievement shows a con sistent development over a period of more than 22 years During this time the Winder National Bank has been MODEST IN TIMES OF PROSPERITY and INVUL NERABLE IN TIMES OF STRESS, and each period has had a share in teaching the management of the bank the value of both CONSERVATISM and PRO GRESSIVENESS, which is reflected in steady growth and for which we are duly grateful.
