Oil on Turbulent Waters
It Is surprising to learn how very
little oil Is required to smooth the
tossing ocean billows snd insure the
safety of a mighty vessel. The Brit
ish admiralty Issues Instructions as
to the application of oil In storms, and
points out that a very small quantity
Is effective In modifying the action of
waves.and breaking seas. A vessel
going at ten knots an hour during a
storm can surround itself by compara
tively still waters, covered with an
oily film, extending a safe distance
on all sides, by allowing oil to drip

than a pint an hour. And the effect Is

The reunion of the .Jones family
on August 11th at. the home of Mr.

Happiness Set Down
as “Flame of Lif&”
I always think of happiness as a
flame. I always have, all my life.
It's just a fancy of mine, but it’s as
clear as anything. Fire —a lighted
fire throwing a gleam across the gay
est day, an inextinguishable fire. Be
cause, however it dies down, you can
find embers at the heart of its ashes
and build it up again with what you
have, Florence Ward writes in ‘‘The
Flames of Happiness.”
Almost without knowing It, almost
In spite of yourself, you do just that.
You take what you have: Love, of
course, if you are one of the lucky
ones who have it, or friendship—any
thing that means happiness to you.
Sometimes the fuel that comes to your
hand is the Joy you have in your own
mind, in learning and thinking, in
books and plays and music, clear
flames.
Sometimes it’s religion. Most peo
ple, after they’re older, keep it burn
ing with work, hard, clean work and
the little things that make It crackle
—jokes and nonsense and bits of sing
ing and laughter. Now and then, of
course, you pile It with driftwood of |
your ambitions, and your dreams
shoot up and up. It's a fire that costs
you something, happiness; but you
keep it going as you keep life going—
I suppose instinct to preserve what’s
yours.
Work of Many Years
to Count a Billion
It is practically Impossible for even
the trained mathematical mind to con
ceive a billion objects of any kind,
says the Family Herald. In dealing
with the subject of “one billion,” Sir
Henry Bessemer, inventor of the Bes
semer steel process, on one occasion
said:
“Let us try in imagination to ar
range this number for inspection:
Put a 25-cent piece on the ground and
pile upon it as many as will reach
twenty feet in height. Then let us
place numbers of similar columns in
close contact forming a straight line,
and making a sort of wall twenty feet
high, showing only the thin edges of
the coins. Imagine two such walls
running parallel to each other and
forming, as it were, a long street. If
we keep on extending these walls for
hundreds of miles we shall ■ still be
far short of the required number. It
Is not till we have extended our imag
inary street 2,386% miles that we
shall have presented for Inspection
our huge number of coins.”
Antiquity of Alphabet
The Phoenician alphabet, ancestor
of all the alphabets of modern west
ern civilization, has had over seven
centuries added to Its known period
of existence as a result of recent dis
coveries in Asia Minor, Prof. James
A. Montgomery of the University of
Pennsylvania told at a gathering of
members of the American Philo
sophical society recently. Inscriptions
made by the Hittites and Cretans,
and also others found in Sinai, which
date back to the Fifteenth century
B. C., cause this revision of Ideas on
antiquity of our letters. Previously
the earliest known Inscriptions in
these characters was the so-called
"Moabite stone” discovered tn 1868,
and generally believed to have been
written about 850 B. C.—Science

This Business Pays More Than
100 Per Cent Profit—‘You
Are a Stockholder.
We are interested the more in Cof
porations, business establishments,
and Institutions in which our money
is invested. Os course, we all have a
passive interest in any enterprise
which will expand and develop our
resources, thereby benefiting the com
mercial activities of our state. Civic
pride compels us to recognize the far
reaching effect of all Institutions
which bring to us culture and refine
ment and the betterment of society.
However, we always show specific in
terest in that particular institution in
which our capital is invested. “For
where your treasure Is, there will your
heart be also.”
All of our Staje institutions merit
the support they receive at the hands
of our legislature. They were created
and are supported for the express pur
pose of serving, in their various ways,
the people of the State, who maintain
them directly by payment of taxes.
Some of our Institutions, however,
could do a much greater good to a
greater number of people by being
supported commensurate with the
services rendered. Such institutions
wfiich show large dividends on the
in vestent should have the whole heart
ed co operation of our legislature. For
instance, our State Board of Health
returns, reckoned in the commercial
value of its services, many times more
than the capital invested. It uses the
talents entrusted to it well indeed.
Health of the individual is the foun
dation stone on which the progress
and success of the individual rests.
Any country which neglects the health
of its individuals must of necessity
weaken, crumble and give place to a
more sturdy people. There was once
the great Roman Empire.
If we would compare our State in
this particular to our neighboring
States we would at once see that
Georgia appropriates to its Health De
partment much less per capita than
any of her surrounding sisters. They
have seen the good work of health
protection to their citizenry, realizing
that the sickness of each individual
is an economic loss to the State. They
take particular interest and pride in
these institutions which return to
them so large dividends in safeguard
ing health.
Our State Board of Health is doing
remarkably well in serving the peo
ple, in view of its limited means.
However, so much better and more
expansive work could be done with
an increased investment. Which of
you would not increase your holdings
many fold in any business that was
earning for you, in value of services
rendered, more than 100 per cent on
your investment each year.
year the legislature appropri
ated SIO,OOO to the State Board of
Health for the Venereal Disease Con
trol Bureau. In the annual report of
this institution for 1924, we find that
the laboratory of this division alone
made 19,832 examinations, which, if
given the commercial value of $5.00
each as is charged by private insti
tutions amounts to $99,160. A large
amount of field work has been done
in addition toward eradication of ve
nereal diseases, the value of which
cannot be calculated in dollars and
cents. This is only one of the many
departments of this institution each
of which show similar results. We
think that such a worthy institution
should have the financial support
which It so deservingly merits.
GROWING PAINS.
We often hear of children suffering
with “growing pains.” There is no
such “animal.” A child who complains
of “growing pains” is a sick child and
needs the services of a good physician
without delay. There may be serious
causes for the pains suffered by chil
dren. If the child is under three years
of age, it is possible that the trouble
is rickets; this is a general disease
and not a disease confined to the part
of the body where the pain exists. It
is a serious disease and one that should
have the attention of a competent phy
sician, so says our State Board of
Health, who would likely prescribe di
rect sun’s rays and cod liver oil. In
the older child the pains are likely
due to septic absorption or septicemia.
It is our duty to find the focus of the
infection and remove it. Quite often
this is diseased tonsils, abscessed
teeth or adenoids. It is imperative
that we get the offending pus out of
the system without the least bit of
delay; it is foolishness to postpone an
operation for the removal of diseased
tonsils. All enlarged tonsils are not
infected tonsils, and often do not need
removing, but the tonsil that has pus
in it should come out and be removed
completely, not just clipped, but dis
sected out. There are other sources of
infection that we cannot discuss in
this article, but often the most seri
ous damage done is not apparent; it
is most likely the heart that suffers
and in after years will give trouble.
The serious membrane that lines
the joints and the heart is most like
ly to be affected in “growing pains;”
you generally have a tru e rheumatism.
The heart has likely been the first to
suffer, so it well behooves us to have
a good physician make a most thor
ough examin»»Liou in ail such cases.
Remember, growing does not produce
pain; there Is a reason; find It; re
move it.
Plain, simple food is best for
health.
FOUR HUNDRED
CHILDREN WAITING
The State Suffers and Pays
The problems connected with the
care of the feeble-minded, including as
it does the study of individual cases
the training of those who present any
hope of responding to' an effort to
make them at least partially self-sup
porting and that very large proportion
of all mental defectives who must re
main permanent institutional cases
(and there are many in this condition
and a very large percent who must or
should be forever separated from the
community) are being faced and
worked out at Gracewood, Ga., in the
Georgia Training School for Mental
Defectives.
This institution, which is operated
by the State under the control of the
Georgia State Board of Health, was
opened in the middie of 1921 w’ith fifty
patients, its full capacity. On Janu
arl 1, 1922, there was a waiting list Os
one hundred and twenty-nine appli
cants; on January Ist, 1923, there was
a waiting list of two hundred and six
teen; on January Ist, 1924, there was
a waiting list of more than three hun
dred applicants, and at the a present,
time there is a waiting list of approx
imately four hundred.
The housing and other facilities at
the school limit its capacity to the
present enrollment of aprpoximately
fifty inmates; while authorities esti
mate that there are over one thousand
children alone in the State; some of
them in insane asylums and corrective
institutions, that should be receiving
institutional care and training at
Gracewood AND FROM WHOM THE
COMMUNITY SHOULD BE PRO
TECTED. This means that there are
hundreds of mental defectives in Geor
gia who are now passing through and
beyond the trainable age who must
consequently always be a burden to
the community because of lack of
training and, what is infintely worse
a constant menace.
The expenditure of a few thousand
dollars in providing one new building
and slightly increased annual appro
priation for operations would enable
the school to double its capacity and
at a greatly reduced per capita cost.
We should really provide at once for
the 400 applicants on the waiting list.
The question is not whether or not
the State will meet the cost of fee
ble-mindedness, we must and are pay
ing. The only choice is whether we
will pay intelligently and in a man
ner to control and reduce the propor
tions of the problem or will we con
tinue to pay the ever increasing cost
of crime, courts, prisons, poor houses
and insane asylums, all of which are
already full and overflowing. Shall
we pay the cost of prevention or the
cost of the consequences?
MOST COMMON DISEASE
Recently a hookworm survey was
made among the school children in
jee counties in our State. The in
fection in all ran high. The results
of the treatment wer e the same in all
and were most satisfactory. One typ
ical school showed that 92 out of a
hundred of the children had hook
worm —that is, the eggs of the hook
worm were found in the stools of
92 out of the 100 pupils. The other 8
might have had hookworm and on
that particular day and that particle
>f fecal matter might not have shown
he egg. Carbon Tetrachloride, which
s furnished by the State Board of
Health free, was administered to these
92 children, and after the lapse of
sufficient time repeated examinations
)f the stools were made and only two
showed positive. Wonderful results.
Carbon Tetrachloride is a newly djs
-overed remedy. It does not require
tny special preparation of the patient
aefore It is administered. It is not
learly so dangerous as the Thymol
hat was formerly used. It can be
tiven without any starving of the pa-
Jent or any restriction; not even a
purgative is deemed necessary, but
night be advisable. It Is free. Thou
sands upon thousands of our people
lave millions of hookworms; no one
with hookworm can be efficient; the
■wo do not go together.
The administration of hookworm
reatment is not the remedy par ex
cellence; it is not a preventive. Our
state Board of Health believes in pre
fention; they try to get us to prevent,
ind not have to treat, so they haver
prepared plans and designs for sanl
ary closets for the prevention of all
'ecal borne diseases like worms of all
kinds, dysentery, diarrhoea, typhoid

with sanitation. Mpckworiji is in a
