THE RIGHT WAY !
Explaining "Gringo”
O. F. Weeks incline:* to the view that
•Gringo” was derived from the word
“Greek." He says: “When English
speaking people began coming into
Mexico they found the people with
whom they came In contact unable
to understand their language, Just as
they themselves were unable to un
derstand that of the Mexicans. When
addressed by a native quite naturally
they used the familiar expression.
•That is all Greek to me.” The word
Greek in Spanish Is “Griego” (pro
nounced Gree-aye-go), and what more
natural than that the Mexicans, hear
ing this word used so much, came to
speak of the foreigners as “Gree-aye
goee,” which easily enough became
corrupted into “grlngoea.” This ex
pression was beard wherever English
speaking foreigners were encountered,
a while with Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Isom Sunday night.
Those visiting Mr. and Mrs. M. J.
Isom recently Mrs. Fannie Lee
and children and Miss E:ie Thrasher.
BLUE EYES.
THE HARTWELL SUN, HARTWELL, GA, JULY 17, 1925
HEALTH IS THE GREATEST
ASSET OF ANY INDIVIDUAL
Georgia is a big state; «he is a
great state; she is a growing state;
she is a state of wonderful possibfll
ties and opportunities.
Health Is the greatest asset of Bn
individual, community, county or
state. Health, coupled with the nat
ural resources of Georgia, opens up a
most inviting field. To possess health
we must constantly, vigilantly guard
every approach of our unseen ene
mies. The unseen and microscopic
germs, bacteria, bacilli are the things
that take us away, that change us
from a producing to a non-producing
community. Malaria, hookworm, tu
berculosis change and change quickly
the balance from the credit to the
debit side of the ledger.
Disease is preventable in a great
measure and controllable in almoet
every case. It requires money and
the employment of skilled assistance;
it requires public Interest and coop
eration. Georgia has ample not
only ample but adequate law. The
Ellis law provides a local option eye
tern for a full time health officer
Thirty-three of our counties have pro
vided for this; it is the right thing to
do. Some of our counties have not
taken full advantage, but they should
All counties that have employed the
right type of health officer and who
have been liberal enough to put in
the proper size unit have been well
pleased and have saved many times
the cost. Some counties, owing to
bad financing and bad management of
their affairs, are so badly in debt that
they cannot in their opinion afford a
health officer, who would, if the mat
ter were brought to their attention,
put on a full-time health officer or a
full-time public health nurse. This
should and could be done in every
county. A nurse would pay big divi
dends; she would be worth much to
all types of citizens, but especially to
the poor, who cannot have a special
nurse In their homes. She would be
of untold worth and assistance to the
physicians of a county.
If our General Assembly would give
us 6 cents or more per capita for next
year and Increase this 1 cent per year
for seven years the State Board of
Health could subsidize the weaker
counties and give them enough money
to enable them to put on a nurse at
least, or possibly a part time health
officer, both or better still, a full-time
health officer and complete health
unit.
Would you not be willing to give 12
cents a year to have a nurse in your
community upon whom you could call,
or a physician who would look after
your children and your home? Any
one would; It seems a foolish question
to ask. Then may we ask in all se
riousness why It Is not done, why our
county does not have it, why our
school children are not given atten
tlon and our homes sanitary inspec
tion? Why are our children not
given free hookworm treatment, ty
phoid inoculation and protected from
diphtheria? Why are not the infec
tious diseases quarantined and the
spread halted? Why? We ask you
again, WHY?
A common drinking cup is danger
ous.
The common towel is a menace to
health
An open window bedroom helps to
keep one well.
A walk in the open air every day
is good exercise.
Spitting on floors or sidewalks
spreads disease.
Clean hands before eating or ban
dling food is a protection.
The typhoid season is here. It be
hooves everyone to be careful about
the drinking water and screen out the
i flies It is not too late to take the
i typhoid vaccine. Get yours today; it
is furnished free by the State Board
of Health to your physician.

Tuberculosis Is a house disease,
i using the word house to include our
I homes and work places. Bad housing
j conditions breed this disease. Out
i door workers, who are properly
housed and few rarely hav e consump
tion; fresh air and sunlight are its
! natural foes.
In doing things that are worth
while, co-operation counts for much
In fact, It Is almost everything. One
person alone cannot transform a dirty
, and unkempt neighborhood Into a
i clean and tidy one. But when the
neighbors all pitch in and help, the
Job is easy and soon completed.
t'ancer is on the increase, we are

such thing as a cancer cure; the only
scientific thing to do for cancer is to
have a competent surgeon remove the
growth. Any lump should receive im
' mediate attention; delay is death.
Tuberculosis In children is very
' common, but is not easily detected;
I the children do not complain. The
glands are quite often the point ot
i attack. The old term, "scrofula,” Is

RICKETS PERIL
TO POOR BABIES
Lack of Sunshine and In
adequate Food Bring
Disease to Many.
New York,—Three out of four Ln- '
"ants in a New York tenement dis- •
trlct develop rickets before they are
< year old.
This is the conclusion of a report
made public by the New York Asso
ciation for Improving the Condition
of the Poor, giving the results of a
campaign to combat this disease
which it has been carrying on for the
ast five years.
The report indicates that rickets,
the most marked effect of which Is to
retard the development of the bony
tissues of the very young child, is st
present a serious obstacle to child
health. It is responsible, the report
finds, for the sacs that fully 25 per
cent of the children in one New York
tenement district have serious ortho
pedic defects, such as bow-legs, knock
knees, “funnel chest" and spinal curr
»t tires.
Brings on Disease of the Lungs.
It is also held to be largely respon
sible for the appalling death rate of
young children In this district from
pneumonia and other respiratory dis
eases.
The report. In part, follows:
“ 'That child has bow-legs because
his mother let him walk too soon,’
s the popular explanation of the two
or three-year-old youngsters with
sadly bowed legs.
“This thoroughly unscientific theory
s, after all, not so far from the troth.
Such children usually have suffered
from rickets. The most marked ef
fect of this disease is to retard the
development of the bony tissues of
he body, particularly the long bones
of the arms and legs. Their legs,
herefore, may be said to be too
young, physiologically, to support the
weight of their bodies. When they
attempt to stand on their feet the
oones of the legs bend under the
weight of the body like a tender green
wig.
"Rickets may be occasioned by one
of two factors, or by both together:
(1) inadequate exposure to sunlight,
(2) a diet deficient In a feed acces
sory vltamlne, whose nature Is as yet
unknown, but which enables the body
to store calcium and phosphorus in
the bones from the food taken into
the body.
“The disease Is most prevalent dur
ing the winter months In north tem
perate climates, particularly among
races with dark skins, In which the
pigment still further retards the ef
fects of the sun's rays.
"On the other hand, the disease Is
practically unknown among negroes
In the West Indies, who are receiving
an abundance of sunlight, or among
Eskimos, who are used to little sun
light. but whose diet from early In
fancy consists largely of fats and oils
of fish. Babies between three months
and one year of age are most sus
ceptible to the disease.
Puzzled by Own Curative Methods.
“Physiologists are at a loss to ex
plain how the sun's rays or the oil of
fish livers can deposit calcium In the
bones, but the fact that they do has
been amply demonstrated clinically
and In experiments with animals.
“There are, therefore, two methods
of attacking rickets: (1) Exposing
the babies directly to the rays of the
sun or to the ultra-violet rays of a
quartz lamp; or (2) giving doses of
fish liver oil three times a day dur
ing the period of life when rickets is
most likely to occur.
"Sunlight in congested city districts
Is a rare commodity. For this reason,
moderate dosages of fish liver oil Is
a safe, prophylactic measure.”
Wireless Ticker Is
Invention of Italian
Berlin.—An instrument called the j
wireless ticker aroused great Interest '
at the recent Berlin radio exposition. |
which. Incidentally, drew some 400,000
visitors during the two weeks it was ;
open.
This ticker Is the invention of an
Italian, Maurice Compare. He calls it
the Compare secret wireless system.
By it, he declared, the receiving sta- ,
iion gets on a tape the message as sent '
into the air by the originator.
It is a method of direct sending and
direct printing of wireless messages
without code of any sort, though at
the same time It is said to Insure
secrecy.
The transmitter includes a typewrit
ing machine, resembling the ordinary
typewriter, an apparatus called a com,
bluer, which can produce numberless
different combinations of frequencies
and transmit them to numberless sta
tions, separately and secretly, and an
ordinary wave generator.
The receiving machine Includes a
wave receiver, which Is connected with
a so-called resonator, and again con
nected with a typing apparatus.
Drowns in Pond
Toledo, Ohio. —Erick Marohn, four
teen, lost his life by drowning when
his bicycle crashed through thin Ice
as he was riding over a frozen pond
near the west end of the Fassett street
bridge. Other youths who wees play
ing abont the pond pulled him from
the water with a rake and attempted
to revive him by artificial respiration
methods.
