PRESENT DRV ACT
WET CITY VOTE HEAVY AND
MAY SWING ELECTION. DRY
MAJORITY IN BUTTS COUNTY.
MISS FOSTER ELECTED.
Early returns from over the state,
i icomplete and unofficial, gave a
majority of more than eight thousand
for repeal of the state hone dry law
and a substantial lead for deer and
wine.
In Wednesday’s state wide refer
enda, the cities, as was expected,
rolled up a big majority in favor
of repeal and for the sale of beer
and wine.
On the basis of incomplete returns
from all but two counties, radio an
nouncement Thursday morning gave
a total vote of 72,4118 for repeal and
(14,308 against repeal. The beer
and wine issue ran ahead of the re
peal vote.
The election was marked oy a
small vote and apparently a lack of
interest.
There is a bare possibility that
complete returns from the country
precincts will wipe out the early
lead piled up in the big cities.
Butts county voted dry by a sub
stantia! majority. The vote was
small, less than 1,00 votes out ol a
registration of about 2,000 'being
polled.
Miss Sara Foster, candidate for i
the unexpired tern! of her late j
father, Judge S. J. Foster, was nam
ed clerk of Butts superior court in
the special election. She was given
the full vote in all precincts. Miss
Foster was elected without opposi
tion.

HEALTH NOTES

Physicians Meeting
The sixteenth Annual Clinic of
of the medical department of Emory
University, June 4 through 8, is be
ing arranged by a special committee
Irom the Alumni Association. The
opening session will ’oe held at
Grady Hospital at 8:00 A. M.
For many years physicians of the
southeast have come to Atlanta to
attend the clinic, whether they were
graduated at Emory or not. The
■program for 1935 promises to be
vared and beneficial. All physi
cians are cordially invited to attend.
There is no charge.
Friday night there will be a ban
quet, and the annual Alumni elec
tion will be held.
Mouth Hygiene
The one big- asset, no matter how
hard the tinfes, is Health.' Good
health and bad teeth can never be
partners. The requisites for good
teeth are: proper food, thorough
chewing, careful cleansing, frequent
visits to dentist.
Foods are influential on teeth
thioughout life; before eruption to
insure growth; after eruption to pre
serve resistance. Good tooth build
ing foods are milk and other dairy
products, vegetables, especially green
lealy vegetables, and fruits.
The gums and teeth should be
cxeicised by chewing hard foods, as
raw vegetables, fruits, and hard
breads. The teeth should be clean
carefully at least twice every day,
in the morning and at night. Re
member all surfaces of the teeth,
the gums, the roof of the mouth,
and the tongue should be brushed.
Frequent visits to a competent den
tist means prevention as well as cor
rection of defects.
Good mouth health is essential to
general health. Sound teeth,
healthy gums in clean mouths help
to conserve and promote health.
Tuberculosis On Tie Wane
If the Department of PubHc
Health had sufficient money to do
what should oe done, and what it
knows to do, the great White Plague
would soon become a rare disease
in Georgia. We are convinced oi
this because in 1929 we had 2,190
deaths from tubeiculosis, and in
1934 only 1,771 deaths. The de
cline has been progressive year
after year for a decade.
We need for our field service at
least two more clinic units. \\
need more office personnel am.
equipment. Especially do we need
adequate trained nurses for follow
up in the homes where tuberculosis
prevails. We need preventoriums
that we may prevent tuberculosis
in babies.
Duryig the summer months the
people oi Georgia seek the out-of
doors and it is well that they do.
There is nothing better for one
than Georgia sunshine. However,
with the great out-of-doors come
many perils, dangers and enemies.
Let us consider some of these:
Be on the watch out for snakes,
poison ivy, the malaria mosquito,
and fleas that bring typhus fever.
Be sure that drinking water and
I milk come from safe supplies. It
uncertain, sterilize by boiling.
Be protected against typhoid by

Be careful about selecting the
proper swimming pool. Avoid get

Strawberry Time In Georgia
Strawberries are always in season
because they may be served fresh
in many ways, and any surplus can
be canned and preserved.
It you do not have a strawberry
bed why not plan now and be sure
to have one next year, for what is
nicer than strawberries and cream
or strawberry shortcake during the
season when strawberries are fresh,
then enough to can and preserve for
use during the winter when it is
difficult lo secure fresh berries? Be
sides, strawberries out of season are
expensive and the Georgia house
wile who keeps an eye on her pock
etbook will buy strawberries, like
other fresh foods, in season, for
! products in season are best and
cheapest.
The strawberry is the most deli
cately co’oied of all berries. Avery
high temperature or an extra long
time of rapid boilingtends to de
stroy the coloring matter. , They
are delicate in structure, full of
juice, with little fiber, and delicate
in flavor. They bruise easily and
spoil easily. If you treat them
carelessly they are likely to loose
co’or, shape, and good flavor, there
fore, to make the most of this de
licious fruit treat it gently.
It you grow your own berries you
ate sure to have them fresh. If you
buy them at the market and keep
them for a day or two take the
berries out out of the basket at once
and spread out on a tray or large
platter where the air can reach them.
The tray may then be covered with
wax paper and put in the refrigera
tor.
Do not wash berries until just
before serving, for berries keep
better if they are - not washed until
you are ready to use them. Ber
nes wet and soaked in water may
mold or decay.
RECIPES
Strawberry Preserve*
2 heaping quarts berries, 9 cups
sugar, 1 cup water.
Wash and hull strawberries be
fore measuring. Put sugar and
water into a large preserving kettle,-
stir and boil until sugar is well dis
solved. (Do not be afraid of thick
ness of sugar and water syrup).
Cook syrup as thick as desired, add
stiaw'berries and boil 15 minutes
(rolling boil). Do not stir but
shake kettle and skim. Pour into
flat pans or trays and shake occa
sionally until cold. The shaking is
the secret of success; it causes the
berries to absorb the syrup and re
main plump and whole. Put into
jars when cold. Never cook more
than two quai'ts at a time, and it is
best to shake all the tiime while cook
ing and cooling. This recipe, if
followed closely, will produce splend
id results, whole berries- suspended
in thick syrup and a bright red color.

have been removed), 3 cups sugai.

to boiling point, stirring frequently,
and crush any berries which still re
main whole. Add sugar to the fruit
and boil together until thick, not over
20 minutes, stirring to prevent burn
ing. Pack into hot, sterilized jars
and process in water bath 20 min
utes.
Strawberry Juice
6 cups Juice, 1 cup sugar.
Small, inferior berries that are
not suitable foi canning or preserv
ing may be used for making juice.
Cover the berries with sufficient
cold water to allow them to float.

gin to lose their color. Strain
thorugh a jelly bag and drain off
the juice. eMasure the juice and
