HEALTH PRECAUTIONS
(From Georgia’s Health)
Be extremely careful of aJI food
in hot weather.
o o o
“Mothers and Children First”
should be our slogan—our aim, Geor
gia a safe place for mothers and
babies.

Fishing season is also the open
season for typhoid to all anglers who
drink from polluted streams,
000
Hogs before they can be trans
ported from one state to another
must be vaccinated or inoculated.
Plants must be inspected against di
sease. Hogs and plants are valuable
evidently. What about children? No
such care is taken of them.
000
All within a period of five decades
we have stepped from kerosene light
to electricity; from telephone to ra
dio; from buggy to auto; from steam
car to airplane, and yet we still have
enlarged tonsils and teeth that de
cay.
000
In counties that are fortunate e
nough to have commissioners of
health of the people, people should
consult them about any matter that
involves the health of the people,
000
Knowledge is attained by degrees,
and it behooves every one of us to
learn the truth about the preservation
of our health and after learning do
that which is right.
Rest is a great restorer of health,
vigor and energy. A vacation should
certainly be planned to give plenty of
rest and sleep. One that does not
provide for rest under proper sur
roundings will fall short of the one
thing that workers need.
000
Be sure to get your typhoid pro
tection before you take your vaca
tion. You may need this protection,
000
Never empty a tin can without
punching a hole in the unopened end.
Cans that hold water offer a good
place for mosquitoes to lay their
eggs.
000,
There is a gradual increase in
deaths without medical care, not in
cluding homicides and accidents.
No case of typhoid fever shfculd be
dismissed until at least two negative
laboratory reports are obtained,
000
Parents, are you doing your duty
to your ehild in that you have given
it protection against diptheria, small
pox, and typhoid?
000
Every child fit physically to enter
school in September should be our
aim.
000
Swimming pools are a potential
danger at best, but a poorly kept one
is a real danger. The public should
choose only pools tljat have been
given proper care.
000
Every community should protect
its citizens against rabies. A worth
less dog is a nuisance and should be
destroyed as such. A good dog is
worth protecting and should be vac
cinated to provent rabies. Every
town or city should make it compul
sory with just enough tax to pay for
vaccination and tag.
WHISTLE A TUNE
i ______
Various remedies are set forth to
cure the the nation's ills, but seldom
does a high official recommend any
thing visionary. However, it has re
mained for/ Secretary of the Treas
ury Wm. H. Woodin to advance a
theory wnich, if carried out, would
convert the people of this country
into beings whose cheerfulness would
be infectious to an amazing degree.
In a recent address the secretary
averred that the nation needs music
now more than ever to bolster cour
age, for “America unafraid is Ameri
ca invincible.” Himself a musician,
he would apply that which inspires
hope in him to the needs of others,
and there is no denying that music
has charms not to be withstood.
Mr. Woodin said that fear, more
than any other thing, was responsible
for the present depression, and in
that he may or may not be correct,
but from small boy experience we
know that music within helps when
courage is needed.
There is nothing more cheering
than the person who can whistle a
tune in the face of unfortunate cir
cumstances, and although the secre
tary’s suggestion may not bejaken
literally there is much to be said in
its favor.—Dawson News.
The Veterans Of The
’Sixties
(From Athens flanner-Herald)
In a recent survey of the number
of Confederate veterans and their
widows, made by Edwin R. Wilson,
past commander-in-chief of the sons
of Confederate Veterans, only 9,531
Confederate Veterans and 39,622
widows are receiving pensions. The
army of the grey is rapidly diminish
ing and within a few years, the pen
sion rolls will be closed and the last
of the soldiers of the ’sixties will
have passed to “fame’s eternal camp
ing ground.” There are thirteen
states paying pensions to Confeder
ate veterans. These states were
those that receded. In Missouri and
Maryland, while both of these states
were about equally divided in the
blue and the grey lines, no pensions
are paid, but homes for the Confed
erate soldiers are maintained.
The report in detail, shows:
“There were 9,631 Confederate
veterans 39,622 of their widows
drawing pensions from 13 states on
February 1 of this year.
“Total financial commitment of
the 13 states was $17,480,614.22, of
which amount $14,699,207.44 was
paid out, he said. His figures were
assembled from records of the va-
rious state pension commissioners.
The survey shows the following:
“Arkansas, paid $289,614 last year
to 731 veterans at $25 a month each,
and 3,184 widows who drew varying
sums.
“Alabama, commitment of sl,-
326,700 for 661 veterans and 3,499
widows.
South Carolina, $690,000 paid to
646 veterans and 3,032 widows.
“Mississippi, $823,671.13 paid to
844 veterans and 3,095 widows.
“North Carolina, $809,580 to 872
veterans and 3,549 widows.
“Georgia, $1,483,920, to 1,034
veterans and 3,088 widows.
“Virginia, $1,006,171.48 to 925
veterans and 4,005 widows.
“Tennessee, $1,242,720 to 580
veterans and 1,988 widows.
“F10rida,"'5990,014.27 to 294 vet
erans and 1,687 widows.
“Oklahoma, $896,002.50 to 401
veterans and 1,343 widows.
“Kentucky, $290,000 to 124 veter
ans and 670 widows.”
In Athens and Clarke county there
are less than a half dozen of Con
federate veterans living; in the
State of Georgia there are 1,034
veterans and 3,088 widows. In the
South, the total number of veterans
drawing pensions is 9,531 and 39,622
widows.
BOYS—GREAT INSTITUTIONS
The other day a torrential rain
undermined the track over which the
Jersey City Express, crack train of
the Erie Railroad, was about to pass.
The washout was near the Passaic
Orphan Asylum, and six boys tore
out of one of the gates of that in
stitution in time to wave down the
Express and prevent a wreck.
Now, according to the Christian
Science Monitor, things are happen
ing pretty fast at the orphanage, and
six bewildered boys are fidgeting a
bit self-consciously under the spot
light of public acclaim. Newspaper
reporters are interrupting their school
recitations. Formidable crescents of
cameras click' before the asylum
steps. Microphones are thrust before
startled young faces. Telegrams pour
in from Senators and Congressmen.
The Mayor of Passaic talks of special
medals.
The boys are beginning to protest.
They let fifteen-year-old Douglas
Fleming voice their sentiments:
“When you see a hole in the track
and the train is coming, you’ve got to
stop the train.” The fellows can’t
quite appreciate the significance of
all this fuss. As for that banquet
and a free trip to the ball game as
the guests of Babe Ruth—well, of
couse, that is a different matter.
“But the admiring public will not
let the incident end there,” says the
Monitor. The Metropolitan League
of Erie Commuters is planning to
take up a collection. It is intimated
that already funds for a college edu-
cation for each boy are in sight.
“Meanwhile, Matron Emily Mc-
Crea htas put in a steadying oar.
She hopes the spirit manifested by
her youthful charges will help people
to realize that orphan children have
all the courage and the aspirations
of more fortunate children. It
should. The boys who stood on the
Erie tracks and waved their coats
until grinding brakes brought the
commuter-laden express to a safe
stop waved a signal also in the faces
of those who would raise a social
bar against such children.”—Ex.
