met here and severed their ties with
Great Britain.

and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh
might soon end their self-imposed
exile in England received impetus
recently from the words of Thomas

live their lives in the land of their
birth and choice.”

Regular Habits Of Diet, Few Patent
ed Medicines Kept Rockefeller Alive
Lakewood, N. J.—No “medical
miracle” kept John D. Rockefeller
alive so long, but principally “regu
lar habits of diet, sleep, and exer
cise”—his personal physician said.
The aged millionaire, however,
“took several patented articles re
ligiously” to aid his health, Dr.
Robert Buermann said.
He declined to tell what they
were, saying he did not wish to give
the manufacturers a “chance to
make a million dollars in a month by
advertising that they were what kept
Mr. Rockefeller alive.”

State Disease Toll Set At $32,000,000
Savannah, Ga.—A report of the
East Georgia Planning Council has
estimated the state’s bill for pre
ventable diseases at $32,000,000 a
year.
Richard C. Job, associate consult
ant for the council, said losses in
wages, loss of time, and lack of ef
ficiency cost the state even more.
Malaria, typhoid fever, typhus,
dysentery, pellagra, diphtheria, tu
berculosis and hookworm are the
most common and thus the most
costly to the state, the report said.
Bank At Millen Pay* Up In Full
Macon. Ga.—Creditors of the
First National Bank of Millen have
been paid in full.
The final payment, 18.9 per cent
interest dividend, was paid by J. B.
Downs, receiver. This makes a total
of 118.9 per cent paid to depositors,
he said, which is equivalent to 7 per
cent interest on their funds since
the bank was closed or more than
the regular rate of interest paid by
banks.

Be Not Deceived !
The advocates of repeal of the dry law claim that
we will derive at least two million dollars in revenue if
whiskey is legalized. These two million are to be used to
provide FREE school books and to aid in pensioning our
old people. Looks good.
Let’s see. To derive one dollar in revenue, Georgia
must consume at least ten dollars worth of whiskey. To
derive two million in revenue, Georgia must consume
twenty million dollars worth of whiskey.
The evil effects of whiskey cost twenty times as much
as the whiskey cost. Multiply the twenty million, the
cost of the whiskey Georgia must consume in order to
realize two million in revenue by twenty, the cost of the
evil effects of whiskey, and you will see what it will cost
Georgia to derive two dollars in revenue from the
legal sale of whiskey.
If Georgia realizes two million dollars in revenue
from the legal sale of whiskey, we will hear the cries of
mothers and children for bread.
It is not as good as it looks. Be not deceived. Vote
dry.

PRIMITIVE PEOPLES KNOW DIET
BETTER
Indianupolis. Primitive peoples,
Dr. Newton Price believes, are
“sturdier and enjoy generally bet
ter health” because of their inher
ent knowledge of a proper diet.
“They could teach modern people
thing i we are discovering only
gradually,” the Cleveland, Ohio,
dental surgeon, a speaker before the
Indiana Dental Association conven
tion, said. "But they hold us in con
tempt because we look upon them as
savages.”
Dr. Price described experiences
among the twenty-seven types of
primitive races in the world he has
visited.
“In some tribes I found cereals
higher in mineral content, particu
larly calcium, than any known by
us moderns. They know the science
of diet and even the science of in
noculation against disease and in
fection.
“They think of us as fools be
cause of many of the things we do
and our refusal to accept their ad
vice.”
He told of one tribe which sent
natives living high in the mountains
to lower areas for water hyacinth
containing a high content of iodine
for use in treatment of goiter. He
said the tribe had been doing so for
generations and added that modern
science has recognized the value of
iodine in combatting goiter only in
comparatively recent years.
He blamed absence of ancient
customs for improper diet which has
caused facial deformities through
decay of teeth.
MISSIONARY CIRCLE MEETING
Circle No. 1 of the Baptist church
met with Mrs. Luther Elrod, Mon
day, May 24th, with eight present.
After the minutes were read, Mrs.
Benton reported $2.50 collected. She
also reported $8.38 realized from
rummage sale held on the court
house grounds on the 17th of April.
Mrs. Aderhold opened the meet
ing with prayer, after which Mrs.
Rigdon gave three chapters of the
mission study book, “Europe, Christ
or Chaos?” It was most interesting
and instructive.
Mrs. Aderhold gave a talk from
notes in the year book. We were
glad to welcome Mrs. Appleby, who
spent the winter in Florida. The
circle will meet with her in June.
Mrs. Elrod served delicious re
freshments.

The above chart shows where the average Georgia
cotton mill’s dollar goes. Note that together, the
cotton farmer and mill worker already get more
than two-thirds of this dollar.
Now, if the amount that either of these two
receives is to be increased, where will it come from?,
It could not come out of the mill’s profits, as it is
easy to see from the chart above what a small increase
could be secured from this source.
It could only come from higher prices to the
consumer.
