THE TRAVELING CLINIC
Georgia’* traveling physician and
nurse will take to the field May Ist,
to spend the summer and fall exam
ining mothers and babies. The first
territory to be covered will be In
southeast Georgia. Some eleven
counties will bo visited. In July the
unit will move to the northeast sec
tion. where six counties will be cov
ered.
This work is made possible through
the benevolence of the National Phi
Mu Sorority, in co-operation with the
State Board of Health and the Chil
dren’s Bureau of the United States
Department of Labor. Phi Mu gave
this truck and the equipment to Geor
gia mothers for the reason that the
Sorority had Its origin at our own
Wesleyan College for Women at Ma
con 75 years ago. The National Phi
Mu meeting will be held In Macon the
last of June.
In addition to the gift already made
the good ladles of the Sorority are
now busy raising an endowment of
$50,000.00 to go towards the perma-'
nent maintenance of this educational
work.
The citizens of Georgia appreciate
this splendid work that is being done
through the State Board of Health by
this fine body of organized women. It
has done much good, and still greater
things are in prospect.
The session held in our State, we
hope, will be one of much pleasure,
and we are sure will be one that is
more than welcome.
GEORGIA'S PROGRAM.
Mrs. C.\\. Ver Nooy, of Athens, has
been working without ceasing to have
Georgia put on this year the best May
Day program of any State in the Un
ion. We believe it will be done. Dur
ing the week of May 1 every school,
every community, many churches,
Sunday schools, many merchants and
others Interested in child health will
aid In the work of stressing the needs
of the child. Mrs. Ver Nooy has been
assisted by many and varied organi
zations, to all of which the State is
under lasting obligation. The preser
vation of the child’s health and the
development of its character is a great
work; in fact, there is nothing of more
importance. We hope that every citi
zen will lend his aid to the State-wide
observance of the day.
MEDICAL ASSOCIAT'ON MEETING.
The Georgia State Medical Associ
ation will hold its annual meeting in
the city of Athens, May 10-13. This
meeting will be one of general inter
est, not only to the medical men of
our State, but to the citizens as well,
for the reason that many topics of
Interest to everyone will be discussed,
and it is .possible that some legisla
tion may be proposed that will be fun
damental and of interest to everybody.
CATCHING DISEASES.
It is the duty of physicians to make
a weekly report of all “catching” dis
eases to the State Board of Health
The public should assist in every way
possible in getting this information to
the authorities, because in this way
only can the State Board of Health
and the local boards of health take the
necessary steps to control such dis
eases. All can and should be of mutual
benefit.
SCARLET FEVER PREVENTED?
Considerable propaganda has gone
out ad-vising that immunizing vaccine
to prevent scarlet fever is now avail
able. The State Board of Health
wishes to advise against this pro
cedure at present. The curative treat
ment is all right, but, at the present
time, it is thought that the prevention
has not been perfected sufficiently' to
advise it. Quite likely it will oe per
fected soon. It will be heartily wel
come, as scarlet fever is much to be
dreaded. •
HEALTH—WEALTH.
Real happiness, contentment, pros
perity, all depend on one’s health. If
this is true of individuals, it must also
be true collectively. Georgia needs
state-wide health, contentment, pros
perity.
SPLENDID BOOK FREE.
Of all the health work there is none
Of greater importance than that of
>re-natal care. The State Board of
Health has a splendid book that they
will be glad to send without cost to
all expectant mothers. Address them
at 131 Capitol Square, Atlanta, Ga.
Be on your guard; kill the first
flies; clean up your premises; control
mosquito breeding; watch for standing
water.
This is the season to begin getting
the child ready for school. Immu
nize him against diphtheria and small
pox now.
If the State Board of Health can do
what it has done with 3c per capita,
what could it do with 12c?
If we are ti keep stro. _ a: 1 conse
quently well we must live according
to well-known hygienic laws.
Georgia’s greatest asset was her
seventy thousand babies born last
year.
Have a complete physical examina
tion by your physician at least once a
year.

24-Oz. Baby At Grady Just As
Noisy As Larger Ones
One of the most unusual cases ever
to come before doctors at Grady
Hospital confronted them Monday af
ternoon when a baby weighing' one
pound and eight ounces was born to
Mrs. M. M. Elliott, 42, of 478 Lindsey
Street. Baby and mother are doing
well. |
Doctors at Grady Tuesday pro
nounced the case as one of the most
outstanding ever to come to their at
tention. Usually, they said, when an
infant is born of such small weight,
its death is but a matter of hours. I
“This baby is perfectly normal in
every way,” was the comment of one
of the doctors. “And,” added anoth
er, “he’s making just as much noise
as any of the others.”

’ STATE ELECTROCUTION
LAW IS UPHELD
Superior Court Decide* Law Valid,
And Eleven Await Death Via
Electric Chair
Electrocutions of approximately
twelve condemned murderers await
ing the extreme penalty are in im
mediate prospect as the result of the
action of the Georgia supreme court
Wednesday in upholding the validity
of the electrocution law enacted in
1924.
The attack on the constitutionality
of the act was first made by counsel
for Mell M. Gore, sentenced to die
for the murder of William H. Cheek,
a grover of Buckhead, in December,
1925. Gore’s attorneys contended
that the law stipulated that whereas
the electrocution should take place
at the state prison and under the di
rection of the warden, the state pris
on farm at Milliedgeville was not in
fact a state prison, and that no
official was designated as warden.
The same contentions were raised in
behalf of John Howell, of Macon,
convicted of slaying a Bibb county
deputy sheriff.
Entire Act I* Upheld
| The supreme court in its decision
ruled on both cases, holding that by
“state penitentiary,” the act intend
ed to designate the state prison farm
at Milledgeville, and by “warden,”
'intended to include as qualified to
conduct executions any warden at
the institution, including the superin
tendent, who is warden of the men’s
camp.
: Since the attack was launched on
the validity of the electrocution act
other condemned murderers have
been sentenced to death, but their
executions have been delayed pend
ing the action of the supreme court.
Eleven Await Execution
Judge B. H. Dunaway, warden of
the state prison farm, told The As
sociated Press that he holds death
warrants for the following:
Oscar Mars, Ben Hill county
Marshall Reed, Walker county.
Mell Gore, Fulton county.
John Howell, Bibb county.
Julius Roe, Cobb county.
Lee Chamblee, Bartow county.
! J. A. Swain, Bibb county.
1 John Rounsaville, Chattooga coun
ty.
Cellus Stewart, Early county.
Henry Warren, Miller county.
In addition, R. 11. Sheppard, a
full blooded Indian, is held at the
Fulton chunty tower, under sentence
to be electrocuted May 6 for the
murder of Homer Fowler,
CITIZENS HELD AT BAY
BY LEPER IN HIS CAMP
NEAR N. CAROLINA TOWN
Burnsville, N. C.—Undisturbed by
the hubbub his presence has caused
here, John Early, who escaped re
cently from the United States lepro
sarium at Carville, La., remained in
his mountain retreat'near here Wed
nesday night.
Early escaped from the leprosa
rium after he had been refused per
mission to visit his father at Tryon,
N. C. It is thought that he came
here, instead of going directly to
Tryon, in order to avoid capture.
The general opinion is that he in
tended to go on to Tryon after
search for him subsided.
Dr. J. B. Gibbs, Yancey county
health officer, telegraphed the state
herlth department of the leper's
presence and the state department
said it was a matter for the fed
eral authorities to handle.
Meanwhile Early is safe from in
carceration in the county jail as Sher
iff E. H. Banks said he would not
resort to that extremity because he
did not want to make the jail that
unpopular.
The citizens of Barnesville are ex
cited about the leper’s presence, but
they have shown no desire for close
association with him. About a quar
ter of a mile is as near as they will
approach to the mountain camp.
How Early reached the camp re
mains a mystery, although the gen
eral assumption is that he traveled
by railroad, as jiis appearance is not
unusual.
CAST LOT WITH DAD
If anyone thinks that individual*
or bodies of people invariably gain
by “sticking together,” let him read
the following story:
i Willie had been naughty and was
being sent to bed by his mother,
without his supper. He was naturally
aggrieved at the feminine sex and
tumbled between the sheets without
a word.
“Willie,” she demanded, “say your
prayers,”
“I won’t.”
“Don’t you want to go to heaven?”
“Nah. I’m going with papa. Us
men got to stick together these days.”
