SUMMER DISEASES AND
REMEDIES
Will Georgia give up 2,000 or
more of its citizens tins year to
“summer diseases,” or will Georgians
themselves reduce the toll by the
simple expedient of “swatting the
fly”?
This question was propounded by
Dr. T. F. Abercrombie, state com
missioner of health, in a precaution
ary warning against ravages of dis
eases attendant upon hot weather.
Dysentery, typhoid fever, malaria
and diarrhea last year took a com
bined toll of 2,289 deaths in the
state. The year before, the same
diseases claimed 2,047 deaths. By
proper precautions, simple in nature
and largely by control of the house
fly, this number can be greatly re
duced if not eliminated altogether,
according to Dr. Abercrombie.
There are many methods of con
trol of the fly than by using a ten
cent store swatter, the commissioner
observed. Screening and simple
methods of sewage and waste dis
posal are other ways, he said.
Milk, especially for babies, should
be boiled, or at least pasteurized.
Tb<- summer is especially hard on
babic under two years of age. who
sh dd be given only the purest
fo N and fruit and vegetable juices,
so !i as orange and tomato juice.
Babies' clothing during the summer
months i pecially should be kept
scrupulously clean to avoid breeding
and an-cad of dangerous disease
germs.
Polluted water drunk by vacation
ists from their usual sources of sup
ply is another factor responsible for
many of these deaths. Water from
questionably or unknown sources
should be boiled before drinking.
Also, Dr. Abercrombie said, swim
mers should make some inquiry a
bout the purification of waters into
which they plunge.
Dr. Abercrombie indicated that
the department would be glad to
furnish detailed information about
these diseases to any citizen of the
state writing the department.

large offer a medal or some gold
piece as a prize for some class of
school work, which will be five prizes,
to be used as incentives for better
school work. It was decided that we
do this.
Mrs. C. W. Meaders, entertainment

vital interest to Georgia clubwomen,
featured the following program
which was prepared by the president,

at Home,” by Mrs. Love Nunn, Mrs.

THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
Adhesive tape may be easily re
moved from the skin if softened w ; th
benzine. Saturate a sponge with
benzine, wash the tape with it and
it can be pulled off without any
trouble.
* • *
Salted nuts quickly lose their
freshness. When they are served
they should be heated for a few
minutes in a moderate oven.
• * •
Paint the flower pots you use in
the house with water color paints
and see how pretty they look.
* • *
Have you ever tried a good under
cut for a roast of beef, with a good
piece of suet? Its flavor is very
good and it is not wasteful.
* * •
Dried orange peel will revive a
low fire at once if placed among the
coals.
* * *
When placing dishes on the ice put
a rubber ring from a fruit jar under
the dish. The ring will adhere to
both ice and dish.
* * *
Angora sweaters may be washed
in luke-warm water, with white
soap. Rinse in clear water of
the same temperature. Wring in a
Turkish towel and spread on a dry
towel in the shade to dry.
When buying a stair carpet it is
wise to buy an extra yard. In laying
the carpet fold the surplus length in
at either end. When the 'carpet be
gins to wear push it up on the stairs.
By employing this method the carnet
will wear much longer.
* * *
To whiten handkerchiefs put in a
basin of cold water to which a quar
ter of a teaspoon of cream of tartar
has been dissolved and soak over
night.
* * m
Thick corn meal mush can be
poured into baking powder cans.
When cold and thick it can be re
moved, sliced and browned in hot fat
and served with sirup for breakfast
or luncheon.
* * *
To prevent potatoes from turning
dark while cooking, add a few drops
of lemon juice.

Brass of any kind may be
thoroughly cleaned by scrubbing with
kerosene.

If the doors in your house
squeak, rub the hinges with a pe
troleum ointment or drop a little
oil on them.
YOUTH BADLY INJURED
WHEN TRAIN HITS CAR
AT RAILROAD CROSSING
AT GAINESVILLE
(From Gainesville News)
Worth Glover, 22, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Emory Glover, of this city, sus
tained serious injuries last Friday
afternoon when the car in which he
was' riding was struck by a freight
train on the Gainesville Midland
railway at a crossing near the Mid
land depot. Ed Addington, driver of
the car, escaped injuries in the crash.
Glover was taken to a local hos
pital immediately following the ac
cident, where it was found necessary
to amputate his right leg below the
knee, the member having been crush
ed in the accident. He also sustain
ed an injury to his left leg, scalp
wounds, and cuts on his left ear and
face according to hospital reports.
Attending physicians, however, state
that he will recover, barring compli
cations.
The accident occurred, according
to reports, when the car was ap
proaching the crossing on the Gaines
ville Midland near the Davis-Wash
ington planing mill, and was the re
sult, it was said, of failure of brakes
on the car which young Addington
was driving. He was unable to
bring the car to a stop, it was said,
after being flagged down by a
member of the train crew. The car
was completely demolished, and it
is considered remarkable that either
occupant escaped alive.
Reports from the hospital are to
the effect that young Glover is re
covering as rapidly as could be ex
pected, and he has many friends in
this section, who trust that he may
soon be restored to health and
strength.

AMERICA’S UNKNOWN WAR
DEAD 1,600
The great legion of “unknown”
soldiers whose sacrifices must go un
recorded in the history of the bat
tlefields of France will add to their
ranks, within another year, 1,600
war dead of the American army,
definitely listed as unidentified.
None of the unidentified will be
taken home, so that the unknown,
who lies at Arlington on the hillside
overlooking the Potomac, will be
the only one in America.
For 12 years American army of
ficers have been seeking to identify
the unknown dead. They were able
through identification of pocket
knives, clothing, teeth trinkets and
letters to name hundreds. All of
their expert knowledge and ability
has been of no avail in the case of
1,619 bodies, however.
Yet there remains a possibilty
that a few more will be known be
fore the work is discontinued. Teeth
charts have been made of all these
unknown dead, so that even years
from now there is a bare possibility
that one or more may be known.
Meanwhile they rest unknown.
KEEP THE TONGUE
Keep it from unkindness. Words
are sometimes wounds. Not very
deep wounds always, and yet they
irritate. Speech is unkind some
times when there is no unkindness
in the heart; so much the worse that
unintentional pain is caused.
Keep it from falsehood. It is so
easy to give a false coloring, to so
make a statement that it may convey
a meaning different from the truth,
while yet there is an appearance of
truth, that we need to be on our
guard. There are very many who
would shrink from telling a lie who
yet suffer themselves to utter such
inaccurate or exaggerated or one
sided statements that they really
come under the condemnation of
those whose “lying lips are an abo
mination to the Lord.”
Keep it from slander. The good
reputation of others should be dear
to us. Sin should not be suffered to
go unrebuked, but it should be in
accordance with the Scriptural meth
od, “Go and tell him of his fault be
twixt thee and him alone.” And it
should be borne in mind that what is
too often considered as merely
harmless gossip runs dangerously
near, if it does not pass, the confines
of slander. A reputation is too
sacred to be made a plaything of,
even if intent be not malicious. It
behooves every one of us to daily
pray: “Keep my heart from evil, and
my lips from speaking guile.”—By
Dorothy Dix Porges.
He who sitteth upon a
Throne

Hail Detroya Cropt In Hancock
County
Sparta, Ga., June 17.—Farmers in
the Archerton and Jewell communi
ties of this county suffered consider
able loss from hail on Sunday and
will be forced to plow up their cot
ton and corn and plant cow peas or
some other crop. The vegetation in
some areas was badly beaten and it
is too late in the season for it to
come out and make a crop.
Sheriff Leviea On Bee, Candidate
For Medal
Valdosta, Ga.—Sheriff J. L. Spivey
and a group of his deputies today
made a most unusual levy—taking
possession of 1,200 pounds of honey
in the bee hives and approximately
“20,000,000 bees, stinger and all,”
according to Sheriff Spivey’s official
estimate of bees by the wholesale.
The sheriff, after making the levy,
said he would bring the hives to the
city and store them as soon as possi
ble, and arrange for the sale. He
wants to move the hives when he
finds as many bees away from home
as possible.
After the removal js made, friends
of the sheriff expect to apply for the
1931 award of the medal for the
most hazardous undertaking per
formed by an officer in the state.
