The Typhoid Season,
Enlist and Fight It
The State Bureau of Vital Statistics
advises you to look for Typhoid l ever
during the next three months. f>r
during that period of the year more
than 70 per cent of all deaths from
that disease occur There were 52
Cases of Typhoid Fever reported dur
ing the entire month of May, but dur
ing the first half of June there were
OS. and the disease Is on the increase
at this time of the year, as it Is
every year. In 1919 there were 4.7
Typhoid Fever deaths in a total of
21,606; in 1920 in a total of 35,575
there were 549 as compared with 798
typhoid deaths in a total of 32,977 in
1921. an increase over the year before
of 249 deaths, and unless some effort
Is made this year will show a greater
number of deaths than did 1921.
To prevent Typhoid Fever you must
understand how It is caught. Two
classes of people scatter this disease
—the one who is sick with it and the
other who carries the poison in the
bowel after recovery from the disease.
In order for a person to catch Typhoid
Fever he must swallow some of the
excreta from such persons. T o es
cape this disease a person should eat
food and drink water which is not
mixed with such discharges. The fly
carries this discharge from the sick
room or the privy to the kitchen or
dining room and places it on the food,
or the excreta may have washed from
the privy into the well. There are
other ways that the discharge from
the tick may get into the mouths of
well persons.
Every person should be vaccinated
against this disease excepting certain
circumstances which your family phy
sician will explain to you. The entire
house should be screened against flies.
A city or town's water supply should
he tested at regular periods to see
that it is pure. If you get water from
a well and have not a sanitary privy
or your well is not properly curbed,
you should boil all water before drink
ing. A plan for curbing your well or
for building a sanitary privy will be
furnished upon request to the State
of Health. Atlanta, Ga.
If one of your family should take
Typhoid Fever, ask your physician
what you should do to protect the rest
of your family, and follow his direc
tions to the letter. If you wish litera
ture on this disease your State Board
of Health will furnish it.
Authorities say that of those who
have Typhoid Fever, one person out
of every ten dies. If this is true,
then there were 7,980 cases of Ty
phoid Fever in Georgia last year.
These people were sick more than
23,940 days, and at only $1 00 per day
there was a loss of more than $23,940,
not including any medical attention or
drugs or the time lost by those who
waited on them. Nor do these figures
take into account the sorrow in (he
800 families which these deaths
caused. Typhoid Fever is a big ques
tion; it should have your most care
protect your family against this dis
ful thought and you should not only
ease, but also your neighborhood
Let us begin NOW to take the neces
sary steps to escape this disease.
Many are ignorant and know no bet
ter than to eat filthy food and drink
polluted water, and you, dear reader
cannot do a better thing for your ac
quaintances than to tell them how to
escape Typhoid Fever.
GEORGIA’S DEATH RATE;
LET’S MAKE IT LOWER
Georgia has no greater advertise
-nient than her low death rate, for in
1921, of which year the mortality ol
certain months was audited by the
Federal Census Bureau recently, her
death rate was 10 per 1,000 pbpula
tion, while in 1920 South Carolina
showed 14, Virginia and Florida 13
and North Carolina 12, according to
the latest printed report of the Fed
< eral Census.
7 "Georgia is now in the registration
area for deaths. Her death rates will
• be published by the Census Bureau.
Her general, as well as her Tuber
• culosis, Cancer and other specific
rates, are so low when compared with
ithe neighboring states that the rates
will be questioned.
Georgia has no greater pull for peo
pie or investments than her good
health as shown by her low mortality
rates, but these rates must be based
on records, the completeness of which
cannot be contradicted.
There is a law in Georgia prohibit
ing the burial of any dead person
until a death certificate has been
filed and a burial permit secured. The
enforcement of this statute will pro
test Georgia's records and will estab
lish these ra'es beyond question.
“STARVE THE RATS.' 1
Do not keep food exposed or in pa
per or cardboard containers.
Food protected in glass, metal cr
wooden containers cannot help feed
these pests. They will leave before
they will starve.
Trap Them.
Set plain spring traps along base
of walls where rats run.
No bait is needed. Be careful in
fondling traps and keep children
away.
Poison Them.
If traps are impracticable use Bar
ium Carbonate, mixed with four times
as much flour and make into a dough
Provide proper garbage cans and
keep them covered at all times.—

RED CROSS HEALS
WOtINDSOF WAR
25,000 Disabled Ex-Service Men
in Hospitals After Four
Years of Peace.
CHAPTERS’ FIELD OF SERVICE
Every Veteran Needing Help Gets
Individual Attention of Sym
pathetic Workers.
When on November 11 the world
halts to observe the fourth anniver
sary of Armistice Day, and the Ameri
can Red Cross inaugurates its Annual
Roll Call for the enrollment of the
1923 membership, the people of the
United States may well pause to think
of the unparalleled contribution to the
cause of peace made by our Army and
Navy In the World War. The glory of
It is a common tradition; but the
wounds of war remain. They are not
healed In a day, in a year, nor la four
years. And on Armistice Day there
will be under treatment In Government
hospitals over 25,000 ex-service men,
broken physically by wounds, expo
sure, nervous strain and exhaustion
Incident to their service In the war.
The Government without stint is un
dertaking to furnish these disabled
men with the compensation and med
ical care to which they are entitled,
yet their especial care is a duty of the
Red Cross. Why? Because the Gov
ernment cannot handle the cases of
ex-service men individually; it must
handle these men In bulk under a
standardized policy. The Government
has neither the authority, the funds
or the equipment for working out the
problem of the Individual man. There
Is where the American Red Cross
finds its greatest field for service, aid
ing through its very active Chapters
In reaching the disabled man with im
mediate practical help, assisting his
family while his claim is emerging from
the process of adjustment, furnfshing
articles of comfort, funds to tide over
the difficult periods, the friendly touch
of personal encouragement, helpful
recreation and worry-dispelling amuse
ment. It is the warm hand of sym
pathy and understanding which the
American Red Cross extends to the
majority of these disabled ex-service
men, some of them friendless In the
whirl of life, thousands of them with
wives and children dependent upon
them, and hundreds of them frequent
ly helpless In the face of grim ne
cessity.
2,679 Chapter* Aiding Veterans
In this work, upon whoa* accom
plishment the American Red Cross is
urging a record-breaking enrollment in
the Roll Call which open* on Armis
tice Day and closes with Thanksgiv
ing Day, 2,079 Chapters In all parts of
the country are engaged. This Is 350
more than were working for ex-service
men last year when approximately
$10,000,000 vvns expended by the Na
tional Organization and the Chapters
working together In harmonious unity.
For the current fiscal year National
Headquarters appropriated $3,030,-
G 92.90, an increase of $365,500.81 over
the amount spent for the work among
ex-service men in the year ended June
30 last. Since It is estimated that t’-e
Chapters will expend close to $7,000,-
000 from their own funds, the grand
total of Red Cross expenditures for
this single work is expected again to
reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30,
1923.
Hospital and District Office Work
During the fiscal year a total of over
1,000 persons, paid and volunteer, has
been engaged in Bed Cross duty In
hospitals or district offices of the U. S.
Veterans' Bureau. An average of 8,000
new cases requires definite and par
ticular attention each month. The de
mand for Chapter-made articles for
hospital patients is conßtnnt.
During last year Service Claims and
information Service at National Head
quarters handled 37,200 compensation
and insuruuce claims, 24,560 allotment
and allowance cases, and 9,700 miscel
laneous claims. Since February, 1919.
It bus disposed of 64,174 allotment
checks payable to veterans \Thteh tho
Post Office Department reported unde
llveruble.
The Chapter is the unit of the Red
Cross organization which la accessible
to every disabled veteran or his fam
ily. Between July 1, 1921. and June 30,
1922, the Chapters had reported 1,663,-
079 Instances of service to ex-service
men and their dependents, at a cost
estimated from reports now at hand of
more than $5,340,000
The basis of this far-reaching work
of the Red Croas is the Individual
needs of the disnbled- veteran to the
end that he may obtain his right* un
der the law, that his especial wants
may be Immediately supplied, that hia
own and his family’s situation may be
rendered happy and cheerful, and that
their outlook for the future may
visualize Incentives for independent
and fruitful effort.
Spread Christmas Joy Abroad
More than 100,000 Christmus boxes
for the children of Central Europe
were packed by the Junior Red Cross
last year. The spread of Christinas
Joy through these boxes will be largely
Increased this year because of the
plans already under way.

Agricultural Lime for
Farmers
It is an established fact that the lands throughout
this, the Piedmont Section, is lacking in limestone. For
this reason, many crops will not grow well, and blight,
insects and foreign growth wax strong.
Experts tell us we should lime our lands at least every
two or three years in order to get the best results from
our labors.
We have a supply of this agricultural lime that is
reasonable in price and those who want it can get it
from us. Call at our office or telephone us how much
you want. We can supply any amount. Of course, it
comes cheaper in larger quantities.
Gardeners can get small amounts for their gardens
Use this lime on your garden and note the difference.
Your tomatoes will not blight, your tubers will root
better and keep longer, and you Will be surprised at the
increased yield.
To successfully grow grain you must lime your land.
Cotton will grow off faster and be healthier, better en
abling it to stand the ravages of the boll weevil by the
use of this lime.
