BELIEFS DON’T
ALTER FACTS
Facts Are Stern—Why Not Know The
Truth—Seek That Which Is Above
Price
You may believe that the millen
nium will or will not begin in the year
2000, but you must remember that
your belief will have no bearing on
the events that are in store for that
year.
You may believe that the sun will
rise tomorrow morning, hut its rising
will be governed by the laws regulat
ing the movement of the heavenly bod
ies and not by your opinion. Its ris
ing and your belief are merely daily
coincidents. Y’ou may not believe
that it will rain today, but you may
have to borrow your neighbor’s um
brella before night to get home with
out getting wet.
You may not believe that there is
in the state of Georgia an organiza
tion that is vitally concerned in your
health and physical well-being. But
the fact stands that there is such a
body. The offices and laboratories of
this organization, the State Board of
Health, are doing daily what is in
their power to keep away from your
hove that dreaded enemy, disease.
They are vitally Interested in the pub
lie health of the citizens of this state.
You may not believe that for the
first six months of this year that the
State Board of Health furnished free
of cost to the people of Georgia more
than 48,000 doses of typhoid vaccine,
but their records show that they did.
You may not believe that they treated
without charge more than one thous
and patients bitten by rabid animals,
a large percentage of which would
have developed rabies had such treat
ment not been administered, but such
is their record. Y'ou may not believe
that this institution is looking after
the purity of your water supply, but
the fact remains that they are ana
lyzing daily numbers of samples oi
drinking water for the towns and cit
ies of this state, in order to insure
their people against epidemics of ty.
phoid and like diseases.
You may not believe that the State
Board of Health is daily making ex
aminations of all kinds of specimens,
with a view to diagnosis for the physi
cian so that they can administer tt°
proper treatment for your sickness, in
order that you can soon take youi
place again at the wheel, or in that
capacity which is your vocation. But
that is indeed a very large part oi
their work.
Your belief will probably be most
upset when they tell you that, based
upon the second million men drafted
into the army, only one other state ol
all the states of the union showed a
larger per cent of venereal infections
than did your state, but as has been
said, your belief does not reduce ever
by one the number so afflicted.
You ask what steps has year State
Board of Health taken to remedy
this condition. Representatives have
made lectures, have shown moving
pictures at various places in the state
and have established clinics for the
treatment of syphilis and gonorhea in
the larger cities of the state. They
have instituted another phase of work
in their laboratories whereby examin
ations are made free of cost for syph
ills or gonorrhea.
If there is the least suspicion of the
existence of either disease in youi
body, go immediately and advise with
your family physician. RememDer,
so long as the germs causing these
diseases are in your system, you are
sick and are not well.
Whatever your belief about other
things may be, you must believe the
universally known thing, and that is:
the building of a house, the gathering
of a crop, the security of the family,
the pursuit of happiness, liberty and
life itself depend upon health.

FACTS DISTORTED ’
TOFOOHIMS
Facts of Vital Interest to
Everybody in Georgia
Socialism Will Take Farms
After Public Utilities
Are Swallowed Up
The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
“From 1910 to 1919, 310,000
horse power were developed by
the Hydro-Electric Power Com
mission of Ontario."
The Real Facts About Ontario
The actual development by the Hy
dro-Electric Power Commission in
Ontario from 1910 to 1919 was less
than 60,000 horse power.
The Municipal League of Georgia
has much to say about the nu r "’/jr of
farms in Ontario using the service cf
the Hydro-Electric Commission of On
tario.
The facts are that some farmers in
Ontario, living within or close to
tbwns or villages are using electric
service just as they are in Georgia,
but that electric service cannot be
furnished to farmers generally be
cause of the expensive machinery nec
essary to make high tension electric
current available on isolated farms.
Promises Can’t Be Carried Out
None of the promises made by the
Municipal League of Georgia to put
electric service on the farms can be
carried out. These false promises
are written simply to get your sup
port of their raid on Georgia’s treas
ury.
Georgia Companies Ahead
of Ontario
The electric companies in the
United States are devoting
continuous and persistent ef
fort to working out a practicable plan
of reaching the farm house with elec
tric service at a reasonable cost, but
the problem has not yet been solved.
The companies in Georgia are far
ahead of the Ontario public-owned
body, and second to none in the United
States in the character of equipment
and quality of service rendered.
The Municipal League of Georgia
says:
“The public utilities such as gas,
water, light and power plants are dif
ferent. In them the property of the
public is used.”
This statement is untrue, and is an
other adroit appeal for your support
in their proposed raid on the Georgia
Treasury.
Huge Cost Will Increase Taxes
The facts are that every piece of
property used by a water,'gas, light
or power plant must be purchased and
paid for. The water in the streams
cannot be used to generate electricity
unless heavy investments are made in
dams, machinery and transmission
lines. The land that is flooded and
the right of way for the transmission
lines must be bought and paid for.
Will Next Want Free Food
Your farm may be called public
property next on the plea that it pro
duces food and clothing which are
public necessitiee. ■ - -
Needs Grow.
Most of ns who haven’t any. la
onr pious way that all we wati . ley
for Is to be independent, but we notice,
says the Ohio State Journal, that a9
soon as anyone begins to got a few dol
lais ahead he discovers that .le needs
lots more Independence than be
thought he did.
Insects Carry Disease.
Standard works on medicine jpub
llshed twenty years ago made no men
tion of Insects in connection with the
etiology of disease. Up to the pres
ent time, according to data compilec*
from recent literature, says the Scler*
title American, discoveries have been
recorded of the carriage by insects to
man or animals of 220 different disease
organisms; 87 organisms are known to
be parasitic in insects, hut not known
to be transmitted, and 282 species of
Insects are recorded as causes or cat
riers of disease of mao cr anima’s.

TRUTH ABOUT AVERAGE MAM
Not a Bad Fellow at Heart, and Really
Is at Least Entitled to
Toleration.
The average man is not a had fellow
when you come to know him. You have
to make his acquaintance if you are
not to hold yourself aloof from this hu
man, interdependent world, remarks n
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. He
constitutes a majority. It is by his
vote that candidates are set up and
Issues determined and business gov
erned and charities supported and*
plays patronized. There is a great
deal of money In pleasing the aver
age man. Moreover, the level of his
tastes Is rising, though pessimists re
fuse to see It or to say so. He is ca
pable of education and he has traveled
far since his training began.
He needn’t always be given all that
he asks for; sometimes he makes mis
takes, and sometimes he wants what
Isn’t good for him. Sometimes he
loses his head, and In an incendiary
or inebriate temper, loses that which a
cooler judgment In a calmer hour leads
him to worry for. But on the whole
he is strangely reasonable and patient
and self-controlled. It is touching to
find how often he is doing the best
he can, according to the light he has.
He sorves the world far better than
some eccentric anil unconventional
mortals who sneer at him for following
a dull, unemotional routine.
Loaders of men have learned to deal
with-the average man, to talk his lan
guage and to understand ins ways.
They have urught the rank and file
to discover a latent capacity and to
reveal a strength hidden and unsus
pected. They have had faith in “the
general good sense and honest Inten
tions of mankind.” They have gen
uinely loved their fellows and their
sympathy has been real and nianife.it.
Neither in war nor in peace is a vic
tory to be won unless the captains put
their confidence in a host.

An Authoritative Opinion,
When does the honeymoon end? Is a
question which has been discussed for
a good many generations. It would be

.lut just the same we have a strong
suspicion that this little sentiment
could be prolonged If she, when she
sears his footfall, would go to the door
