It’s too late then to think about re
moving that paper in the attic or the
rubbish in the yard, where the fire
started. Remember that a stray spark
cannot do harm when it lights on a
clean surface, nearly so easily as when
it drops in a pile of old rags, papers or
dead weeds.
Every household, every business,
every building, should be insured
against fire; but how to prevent fires
is what the insurance man talks about
first. Clean Up and stay clean and help
to decrease the nation’s 5500,000,000
annual fire loss. Clean Up means fire
prevention, Paint Up helps to keep
clean.

CHILD DROWNED IN A WASH
TUB.
Florence, S. C.—Richard Withers,
two-year old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Ernest Withers living three miles
from this place, was drowned in a
wash tub full of water in the yard
of his parents’ home. The father and
his infant son were romping in the
backyard, it appears and the father
went into an adjacent lot. Upon his
return the baby could not be found.
It was later located in the wash
tub drowned.

BRTHDAY PRESENTS
FOR EVERY GEORGIAN
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH REC
OMMENDS PHYSICAL EXAMINA-
TION AS BIRTHDAY
PRESENT TO INSURE
LONGER LIFE.
Why not give yourself a birthday
present one, that would really be
worth something, one worth while? It
all people, and especially those whc
are reaching middle life, would set
aside their birthday for a complete
physical examination by the best phy
siclan in their reach, it would give
them much longer life and much more
pleasure in old age. A good physi
clan can by such examination fore
see danger for you; he can give you
warning of heart, kidney, liver and
lung possibilities that by proper liv
ing, diet and drugs which he can pre
scribe for you, do you more good than
trying to cure you after you are sick-
Let’s make the birthday examination
day an annual affair that we
may live longer, produce more, be hap
pier and make others happy. The
State Board of Health has been try
ing to get our legislature to give them
enough money to put on a life exten
sion service, enabling them to make
urinary examinations and examine tis
sues for cancer, etc. If this could
be done, it would save many lives and
prolong other lives many years.
It is certainly hoped that our State
Board of Health will be given a fixed
sum, taking it from the uncertain con
ditions of begging, pleading and pray
ing for funds each year, not knowing
what it may get or how much it may
or may not get. It should be given a
per capita basis that will insure it
enough money to plan its program
ihead, thus enabling it to work to ad
vantage and economically.
CIVIC GROWTH DEPENDS ON
HEALTH.
The Atlanta Constitution of Febru
iry 11th devoted a section to the in
dustrial and material advancement of
the Southeast.
A careful analysis does not giVe
Georgia her just share. Looking
tor the cause or causes we were struck
with the fact that the States appro
priating most liberally to the Boards
of Health show the most material ad
vancement along productive lines.
Capital seeks investment where
health conditions are best, where
adequate sums are appropriated to
prevent illness. Study this question
closely and see if we are not right.
It is not strange at all, if you will
stop to analyze the question of manu
facturing growth in the Southeast, to
find those States that contribute most
to the prevention of disease and to sani
tation are locating the great factories
and industries within their bounds, not
at all; capital realizes that health is
necessary for production: that san
Itation is dependent on appropriations.
When our neighbors of North and
South Carolina give their Boards of
Health four or five times as much
as Georgia, it is no wonder that in
dustries are anxious to locate here.
ELIMINATE DISEASE AND BRING
NEW SETTLERS
, Perhaps the greatest need of Geor
gia today is thrifty, honest, hardwork
, Ing farmers, men with families, who
would own their homes and know how
I to raise food crops for man and beast.
1 With half of the open land now idle,
‘laying out,” with many of the homes
In the country and small towns empty,
it is time for our best thought to be
given to the causes underlying this
condition. It is not soil; it is not
climate; it is not convenience. There
are perhaps several fundamental
causes, but one above others is the
providing of proper protection against
disease. The farmers of our frozen
Northwest are desirable citizens as a
whole, but you must convince them
that they will be free of malaria and
hookworm If they come to Georgia.
They must know that they will be
protected against typhoid, tuber
culosis, dysentery and all such
preventable diseases if they come
among us. What can you say
| when they point to the fact that you
only have 3c per capital when South
Carolina has 6c, North Carolina has
12c, Alabama has 6c and Florida has
25c? What can you say? You must
stand still, dumb, ashamed and hu
miliated; what else can you ao. We
want good emigrants; yes, above all
things, this is our need, good white
farmers, who can own a hundred acres
or so, and can cultivate them scientif
ically. Yes, we need them, oh, so
much! Let’s assure them of health
first; let’s sanitate Georgia; let’s
make it a fit place to live; the very
besL and they will come. Subsidize
county health work; eradicate mala
ria. typhoid, diphtheria, venereal dis
eases and others that we know so well
how to handle. Take health work
from uncertainty and place it on sure
grounds; make it of potent force; it
will pay.
Co-operation of our people with the
physicians can accomplish much in
the prolongation of life and the pre
vneting of disease and suffering.
Without this co-operation our Boards
of Health will have a hard time of it.
It is every citizen's duty to preach
sanitation, but, above all. to practice
the well known laws of health. Write
the State Board of Health. Atlanta, for
information about any health prob
lem.
