REOTBITBIMIT
In the Twenty-Nine Per Cent Reject
ed for Sers ice W ere Many Men
Affected by Preventable Disease
Uianta, Ga., July 23.—Statistics
obtained from the United States army .
by the State board of health show '
that out of 65,496 Geori ~.r.- sum
moned for the national army 19,522
were rejected for physical defects.
in the 29 per cent rejected were
mi. a. men affected with pre\ ntable
diseases and it is declared that a large j
pen entage of the huge total of physi- I
cal lisabilities resulted from the fact ,
tL • the State had made no provision ’
I for proper equipment and funds for
‘the health department.
I 1 r;e State health officia’s are ask
ling for a substantial increase in the
■appropriation for the health depart-
I merit and the appropriations <■ mimit
iteo has agreed to a raise of about
.$36,90() for the next year.
It is also pointed out that the State
l has not provided for the collection of
■ vita! statistics and that Georgia loses
!by death each year some 20,000 of
lher population from diseases which
i should not exist and which claim only
i a few victims under local conditions.

Good Personal Management
-Thrift and Good Clothes
r pHRIFT does not mean meager
ness or scrimping. It does not
mean going without those things
w hich are essential to welfare or ef
ficiency. Nor does it mean false or
fancied economies.
For false economy is waste.
Tariff is best practiced by wise
personal management, by elimina
ting extravagances, by avoiding frip
peries, by doing without nonessen
tials and by getting full value for ev
ery dollar you spend. That’s thrift.
• *♦» »♦»♦♦«» *****
In clothes, as well as in most things, the best is
always the chespest. It pays to buy good clothes.
It pays in dollars and cents.
You neither practice thrift, nor help your govern
ment, nor add to your self-respect, nor serve your
fellow man when when you neglect your personal
appearance.
The well dressed man gains in self-respect and
.confidence. He shows confidence in himself, in his
country and in the future.
1 his stoic is headquarters for clothes that pro
mote thrift.
THOS. J. WHITE.
