TREATMENT
FOR MALARIA
Our State Board of Health says that
malaria is one of the outstanding prob
lems of our state. The control of
mosquitoes, of course, is one of the
methods that la foremost, and to ef
fect thia control all standing water
must be drained or treated. Draining
pond3 is the best thing to do. We
also have many mo3:iuitoes hatching
from neglected containers of water,
eve troughs, old cans in our rubbish
heaps and hollow trees. Never open
a can at your home without punching
a hole In the end opposite to the one
opened. Destroy every place where
the eggs can be deposited and hatched
In considering the control of this
disease we must also think of the in
dividual who has the disease or who
has had it and is a “carrier,” that Is,
has the parasite yet in his blood and
if bitten by the malaria-carrying mos
quito will give the disease to the in
dividual next bitten. The mosquito
must get the malaria from such hu
man being. This theory having been
proved, we must do our best to see
that each individual is made non-in
fectious.
Quinine is a specific and will cure
the disease as well as prevent it.
Our State Board of Health recom
mends the following standard quinine
treatment for malaria:
FOR ADULTS
Take 10 grains of Quinine -Sulphate
by mouth 3 times a day for three days.
Then take 10 grains by mouth every
night just before supper for 8 weeks.
FOR CHILDREN
2 years old—2 grains 3 times a day
for 3 day3, then 2 grains daily for
8 week3.
3 years old—3 grains 3 times a day
for 3 days, then 3 grains daily for 8
weeks.
5 to 10 years old—s grains 3 times
a day for 3 days, then 5 grains daily
for 8 weeks.
10 years or older —Same as adult
dose.
A TYPHOID YEAR
From all reports thi3 yoar is going
to show a decided increase in typhoid
fever. It is peculiar that such diseases
show cycles of abatement and in
crease. Why, wo do not know; per
haps some of our physicians can ex
plain.
The typhoid season is at hand and
a word to our readers will, not be
amiss.
We are told that typhoid fcVer must
be contracted by either eating or
drinking the typhoid bacillus, and
that this microbe must come from an
individual who has had the disease cr
who is a carrier. A carrier is an in
dividual who ha3 the microbes that
are being discharged from the body
cither through the bowel or kidney
secretions. Sanitation is the real rem
edy against typhoid ; if every home
had a sanitary privy and every in
dividual used it we would have little
typhoid. If all carriers of the disease
could be detected and treated, we
would do away with the source of
the disease and prevent it, therefore
we wish to urge every one who has
or who has had the disease to find
out if they are free from the microbes.
,Yttr physician can send a specimen
toThe Stale Board of Health and find
out-.for you. The State Board of
Health, of course, makes no charge
for this examination.
_XE>ere is also a third remedy against
this awful scourge, and that is im
munization by vaccination. We wish
to ask every one to take advantage
of this protection. The vaccine is fur
nished free by our State Board of
Health, but your family physician can
order and dminister it.
Bo your part toward the eradica
tion of typhoid.
WHAT DOJTOU THINK?
We are told that out of our ICI
counties in Georgia only 33 have full
time commissioners of health. This
is not as it should be; if one con
siders what the program of a commis
sioner of health covers, the desirability
of such an officer must appeal to ev
ery citizen. It is a question that i3
so clcct and so fraught with good
that it is not debatable at all.
The only argument, if it could be
called a reason at all. is the expense
that it entails upon the dear tax payer
We sometimes get very jealous in out
care of the citizen who pays his taxes
and my, how sorry we get for him
if an investment exacted of him goes
back to him in health and consequent
happiness and prosperity!
It i% the most, important investment
one can make, and the expense is re
paid a thousandfold to him and his
neighbors. If a county desires, it can
unite with another, or three counties
can unite to form a health district
This arrangement, with a nurse in
each county, gives a very good super
vision of sanitation and health condi
tions. \The per capita cost would be
a little more than a postage stamp.
Ail counties should lose no time in
getting their grand juries to recom
mend such a movement.
The toil of accidental deaths con
tinues to mount. Recklessness and
the want of caution are responsible
for this mounting mortality.

DAY-OUT Customer
Mrs. Housewife, the real purchasing agent for virtually every
home in Butts County, finds it a great advantage to be “up” on
prices of all commodities at all times. She gets these prices
through the ads she reads in her favorite newspaper, the Prog
ress-Argus. If you want to get her attention, if you wish her to
know of your store, then, Mr. Merchant, use the advertising col
umns of the Progress-Argus. Phone 166 and>we will call.

FORMER BANKER, RECENTLY
IN NATIONAL BANK EXAMIN
ING DEPARTMENT, CALLED
TO WASHINGTON CITY
Friends here will be interested to
know that Mr. W. B. Roper, former
national bank examiner and formerly
connected with banks in Athens and
St. Petersburg, Fla., and for the past
few weeks engaged with the emer
gency staff of the national bank ex
aminer’s office, has been called to
Washington City to accept a posi
tion in the office of the Comptroller
of the Currency. The promotion is
considered a compliment to Mr.
Ropsr’s ability as a banker.
Some time after the recent bank
ing holiday when all examiners were
pressed into service in an effort to
check and reopen banks as quickly
as possible, Mr. Roper consented to
serve as bank examiner to help the
government in an emergency. At
that time he was not sure that his
health would permit a permanent
ccnnection, and friends are glad to
know that Mr. Roper is able to con
tinue the work and that he has been
called to a 'higher and more respon
sible connection.

announced.
SHOP THROUGH THE ADS

Housewife. It is the easy and
the economical manner of keep
ing “up” on prices, the new
styles, new offerings and oppor

needed items. Note the prices
