THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GEORGIA, OCT. 22, 1926.

As proof of citizenship to obtain a
passport;
As evidence 111 the claim for exemp
tion from or the right to jury and
militia service;
As evidence to prove the age in the

tar ?s.
WHY REGISTER DEATHS?
That there may be available, complete
and accurate information as to
deaths of all human beings, with
dates of death and cause of death,
to the end that preventable causes
of death may be eliminated and hu
man lives lengthened;
That the courts and other agencies
may be supplied with certificates of
death, or certified copies, to estab
Ush necessary facts;
That the settlement of pensions and
life insurance may not be delayed
from the lack of proper evidence of
the fact and the cause of death;
That titles and rights to inheritance
may not be jeopardized by the fail
ure of records;
That all health agencies national,
state, municipal and private—may
know immediately the causes of
death that they may act promptly
to prevent epidemics;
That the success or failure of all
measures attempted in the preven
tion of disease may be accurately
determined.
That individual cities and localities
may Jearn their own health condi
tions by comparison with other com
munities and determine thereby the
wise course of public health activ
ity:
That the homeseekers and investors
may be guided in the selection of
safe and healthful locations.
What Next? Pneumonia Sure
Just as surely as certain months of
the year roll around do we know that
we will have an increase of certain
diseases.
As w’e write this we are in the seaso
for diphtheria; it will last for sev
eral weeks. Measles always take a
flare up after schools open, but pneu
monia is on the way, The next few
months will, see in every community
an increase in colds and pneumonia.
We have no specific against it like
we have for typhoid, smallpox, diph
theria. etc., so it is up to each individ
ual to so live that he will conserve
his strength and health that he may
be able to throrv off this great and
rapid destroyer of human life.
Live temperately, eat properly, get
plenty of sleep in the open air. Keep
the windows up; keep warm, but not
too hot; dress comfortably and do not
overeat. Avoid all excess and especial
ly w’hiskey and stimulation of every
kind. Avoid late hours. This will as
sist you in preventing pneumonia and
other diseases of the lungs and air
passages.
If a sore throat develops take good
care of yourself. You may need to see
a physician at once; all colds are bad
colds; even a slight catarrh should
have the best of attention. Anything
that tends to lower your resistance
is most liable to invite the pnuemonia
germs in.
Congentital Syphilis Can Be
Prevented
Three hundred and seventy new
cases of syphilis among boys and girls
under fifteen years of age were re
ported in one of our states during
1925, and over three hundred and
thirty-eight cases, old and new. among
children were treated in free clinics.
Practically all of these infections were
congenital cases, and might have beeD
prevented if the mothers had been
examined for syphilis during their
pregnancy and if infected, had been
given proper treament.
It is a scientific fact that congeni
tal syphilis is preventable depending
entirely upon how early in pregnancy
the mother is treated and the amount
of treatment administered. The pub
lic should awaken to this fact, and
realize that every new case among
children is a reflection upon society
as a whole.
Vital Statistics, like the Magna
Charta. the Declaration of Independ
ence. the Abolition of .Slavery, is an
other step toward a higher civilisa
tion
