Typhoid Fever-Its
Dangers and Causes.
By Mrs. Ruby Worsham, Red Cross
Public Health Nurse.
Any disease which causes between
2004)p0 and 350,000 cases of sickness
in a single year and which kills be
tween 20,000 and 35,000 persons dur
ing the same period of time is a disease
which must be feared
Apart from our personal loss and
suffering caused by typhoid fever it
may be said that a careful estimate
has been made of the actual money
loss to the country from this one dis
ease and this loss has been put as be
ing at least $100,000,000
While it is not always necessary to
think in terms of dollars and cents, yet
sudli thought should be enough to
rouse us to the urgent need of doing
■everything in our power to prevent ty
phoid fever in our own community.
In Georgia there were 549 deaths
from this disease in 1920; judging from
national statistics, as those of Georgia
are not yet available, this would mean
that there were ten times as many
■cases as there were deaths, and now
we have a great health problem to face,
for some of these deaths and cases,
these deaths, and some of these cases,
none being less than three weeks se
riously ill, as many more weeks get
ting better, and often much longer,
must have been in our own community
Therefore, let us see what we can do
to help this situation.
First of all it must be remembered
that typhoid fever is caused by certain
little poisonous plants called typhoid
germs which multiplies with astound
ing rapidity. This germ ’was discov
ered in 1880 -by a man named Eberth
and once discovered the first step was
taken in the battle against it. The
germ is about one eight-thousands of
an inch in thickness but can be seen
perfectly with a powerful microscope,
for to be seen with the naked eye it
would have to be 1000 times larger
than it is. Again, 2,000.000 of these
germs could be put on the head of one
pin, so you see liow T easily this tiny
atom could be present in water or
milk, and how it can be borne from
place to place by the common house fly.
The typhoid germ is found in the
bladder and intestines of persons sick
with the disease; in those having very
mild cases and who do not know what
is the matter with them and in some
rare cases, about three out of a hun
dred, who have had the disease, have
gotten well but are still what is called
a “carrier.” Because it is possible for
the germ to be deposited by any one
of these persons through their bodily
excreta, it will be seen how important
it is to protect all excreta from all per
sons, so that there is no chance of its
coming in contact with the water or
milk or food of a well person .
The greatest source of infection is the
open privy; flies swarm there, carry
the germ to the nearest house and may
infect a whole family.
As any discharge from a person sick
with typhoid is dangerous the chance
of water becoming infected through the
insftnitary privy or through the care
less throwing away the secretions of a
typhoid fever patient can easily be
seen. Therefore, all water supplies
should be carefully protected, and all
too small to lie seen and the purest
looking water has often been found to
contain millions of typhoid germs in a
single drop.
Therefore, the first tiling to remem
ber in preventing typhoid is never to
allow any body secretions from a sick
person to be carelessly disposed of;
second, see that your privy is screened
or that a septic tank is used; third,
avoid contact with any thing used by
a person known to have typhoid fever
and treat every case of typhoid as a
dangerous and contagious disease,
which it really is.

EVERYBODY SEES
CHANGE IN FATHER
Grateful Son Says His Father Looks
Like Different Man Since Taking
Tanlac.
“My father has suffered from chronic
stomach trouble for over twenty years
and has aid out thousands of dollars
for medicines and doctors,” said G.
W. Slayton, a well-known Cobb coun
ty farmer, living a short distance out
of Atlanta, Ga.
“We tried nearly everything trying
to cure him and he* went off to the
Springs, thinking maybe the water
might help him but it just looked like
nothing would reach his trouble. Then
he tried dieting and lived on liquid food
until almost starved, but even that
failed to do him any good and he just
kept going from bad to worse.
“I don’t guess there ever was a case
as stubborn as his and if there ever
' was a confirmed dyspeptic, he was one
of them and I guess he would have
been one yet if it liad’nt been for this
Tanlac.
“The first we heard of this medicine
was when my father saw an advertise
ment in the papers from parties lie
knew in Tennessee, who were friends of
his and he knew mhat they said
about it was the truth so he yot it
right away and began taking it. Well
sir, it acted just like mapic. Everybody
notices the change in father. Why,
he is just like a different man and sits
down to the table and eats like a farm
hand. Only yesterday he ate pork and
turnips for his dinner and ate so much
we were actually afraid he was going
to over-do the thing but he laughed and
said nothing hurt him now and thnt he
was hungry and expected to eat and
make up for lost time.
“Now, when a medicine will do things
like that I think people ought to know
about it and I want to say right now
that I would not give one bottle of
Tanlac for all the other medicines and
health resorts in the country put to
gether.”

THE WINDER NEWS
Boston Holds
Another Tea Party
At the Inst regular meeting of the
City Council, Boston withdrew from
the Municipal League of Georgia, that
organization of a small handful of
men that are trying to suddle on the
people of our state the greatest curse
ever thrust on them. In such legisla
tion the tax payers have to foot the
bill. It costs the city $25 per year to
belong to this municipal league and we
believe the city fathers acted wisely
when they refused to send in their
membership fee for the year 1921.
If the city council of Boston has any
funds to throw away we would much
prefer that they give to
their present mayor to defray cigar
bills, ice cream sodas, banana splits and
such. The cigars he would smoke him
self and the ice cream sodas, banana
splits, nut sundaes, etc., he could use
to try and keep the lady voters in a
good humor until the next election. —

An Announcement by
The Studebaker Corporation
of America
Eight months ago, when the costs of material
and labor appeared to have reached their peak, we
made substantial reductions in the prices of Stude
baker cars. These reductions were in anticipation of
our ability, after the turn of the year, to purchase
materials and to fabricate them at lower costs.
The expected savings have been realized.
With them, other savings have been made, as a
result <>f tiie greatly increased volume which Stude
baker has this year enjoyed.
During the first months of 11121, our volume of
business lias exceeded that of any other automobile
manufacturer except Ford.
The Studebaker plants ure running at capacity
with unfilled orders on hand for over 7,000 cars.

In this quarter we shall produce 21.0(H) automo

No other automobile manufacturer is making a
comparable showing.
We believe that (lie confidence of the buying pub

We expect that as a consequence the present eco
