The two Seventh grades have made
some water color designs of the Geor
gia flag. Some of these flags are very
pretty, and are to be put around the
rcom. We hope we will make some
L. S. flags after awhile.
Several of the primary teachers have
had some girls of the two Seventh
grades put stencils on their boards.
They make the boards look very pret
ty, and the room attractive. Some of
the stencils have birds holding valen
tines in their mouths, and some other
stencils have flags on them. Hatchets
and cherries represent Washington’s
birthday.
The U. D. C.’s have offered a medal

Scarlet Fever and Other Things
Have No Difference, Is Said
NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCAR
LET FEVER, SCARLATINA, AND
SCARLE RASH, SAYS THE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
(By Emory Park, M. D.)
Scarlet fever, scarlatina, and scarlet
rash, are one and the same, and it is
entirely wrong for anyone to think that
scarlatinia and scarlet rash are only
light forms of scarlet fever. Accord
ing to mortality statistics, compiled by
the Government, the death rate from
this disease is 10.6 per 100,000 every
year. Georgia then, with two and one
half million people, would have ap
proximately 265 deaths every year
from scarlitina. Just think of that'
And yet, what is Georgia doing to stop
this? Hardly as much as is being done
to stop cholera in hogs! We are not
criticising the steps that are being
taken to protect animals against dis
ease—we are in full sympathy with
that work—but we do believe that the
state’s first and foremost duty is to
protect its citizens from preventable
diseases and untimely deaths.
Occurs the Year Round.
Scarlet fever occurs during each of
the four seasons. Either direct con
tact, close association with the patient,
or with some object which has become
tilate it as they had done to the bodies
of the other Americans feared the
barking and ferocious dogs. Tin*
greasers backed away.
The dogs remained on guard for
forty-eight hours till the rescue train
from Chihuahua recovered the bodies
of the Americans. The dogs were found
whining and marking beside their
master's body. They were taken to El
Paso, and given over to the son when
he arrived from a military school in
Los Angeles. The photograph of him
shows him in his school uniform.
contaminated by the patient, is nec
essary for the transmission of the
disease. The patient's soiled hand
kerchief, clothing, books, toys, etc,
may convey the disease, and the in
fection can also be carried by dogs and
cats which have been in the room of
the sufferer. The disease can be con
veyed on the clothing of the physician
or nurse or other parties who have
been exposed. It is .therefore, neces
sary that those who have to come Li
contact with the patient wear an apron
completely covering their clothes, or
else change their garments immediate
ly upon leaving his room. The dura
tion of the life of the infecting prin
ciple of scarlet fever is remarkable. It
hag been known to live in clothing or
upholstered furniture and convey the
disease to healthy children two years
j'after the recovery of the first patient-.
Children between the ages of 2 and 5
years are the ones most apt to have
the disease, nurslings and children
above 5 years of age not being so sus
ceptible. A patient sick of scarlet fev
er can not convey the malady until the
rash breaks out. The duration of the

complete and until there is no dis

DESCRIPTION WORK
HAS BEEN ISSUED
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 11.—An
illustrated description of the work of
preparing the Official Cotton Standards
of the United States has been issued
by the Department of Agriculture.
These standards were promulgated by
the Secretary of Agriculture in De
cember, 1914, in accordance with the
provisions of the Cotton Futures Act
and were well received by the trade,
practically every important cotton ex
change and spot market of the South
has adopted them as well as most of
the largest cotton mills and factories.
During the first year after their pro
mulgation 570 full sets and 55 frac
tional sets were shipped by the De
partment in this and foreign coun
tries. ; .
The original set is placed in a small
safe and stored in one of the vaults of
the United States Treasury, while
other sets are stored in vacum in order
to preserve their characteristics of
color and elaf. This method of tsor
age is described and illustrated in
Service and Regulatory Announcement
Number 6 of the Office of Markets and
Rural Organization, which also gives
a full, illustrated description of the
cotton grading rooms of the Depart
ment and of the equipment and pro
cesses used in making up practical
forms of the Official Cotton Standard.;.
RAILROADS OFFER
FREE_»LARSHJPS
ATHENS, Ga., Feb. 12.—Some of the
railroads of Georgia have been encour
aging boys’ corn clubs and other farm
clubs by awarding short course schol
arships to the capital winners in
each county touched by their respec
tive lines. President Soule of the Col
lege of Agriculture, has received no
tice from Vice President J. B. Munsen
of the Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway, that his road would offer a
scholarship for each winner in corn
ciubs in counties touched by his line.
A scholarship to a short course for
corn club winners means two weeks
spent at the State College of Agricul
ture where an interesting program of
work relating to farm life is given.
These short courses are offered during
the summer and will be in the nature
of a boy’s camp.
or ears.
Health Board Needs Money.
There is comparatively little being
done in Georgia t ostop scarlet fever
and other preventable diseases. This
is due almost entirely to the failure of
the legislature to provide sufficient
funds to the State Board of Health,
and to the fact that many of our cour
ties haev not as yet provided them
selves with a County Board of Health
and a District Health Commissioner.
Ii is greatly to be hoped that these
failures will soon be corrected. Unless
these are the slaughter of the inno
cents will continue. Shall this be per- <

E BALTIMORE, Md., Feb. 12.—Reports
>
( to the Manufacturers’ Record this week
show abounding prosperity everywhere
rin the South. The lumber industry,
. which is so important to this section,
> is again coming into its own and lum
; ber operators are most optimistic.
The Cypress Association reports that
. cypress mills are selling more than
t they can produce. The yellow pine
j industry reports from all quarters
, show that never in the history of the
. business have there been so many in
. dustries and so many orders for timber
. as theer have been at the present high
prices. It is quoted in some quarters
that prices will go from $1 to $2 high
er in March and April. Inquiry among
1 the trade generally indicates that
i while the demand lessened somewhat
on account of the slackening in build
ing activities in the North during the
winter, the situation on the whole
shows no diminution of strength. The
i South's demand continues without any
interruption.
Stocks in the mill yards are light.
Steady gains in building permits in
the principal cities during the last
five months of last year, amounting to
81 per cent., as compared with the
same period during the present year,
Indicate a very heavy spring trade.
Further strength is added to the mar
ket by repeated reports of continued
cold and snow in the Pacific coast
timber regions, with consequent short
age of logs. The export situation con
tinues strong in the face of vessel
shortage and advancing charter rates,
sales being rapidly made for all that
can be trnsported.
Bids were asked recently for 41,000,-
000 feet of yellow pine for account of
one of the European Governments.
From the same source inquiries are
out for 750,000 yellow-pine ties. These,
with the recent large portable house
order of the French Government, has
had a decidedly favorable effect on the
market.
New Occupation
For Women In
Vienna Now
VIENNA, Fef. 12.—Not a week pass
es in Austria without women appearing
in some new occupation. Women
teamsters are now to be seen on the
streets .often performing laborie>us
work. The big dairies are employing
them to deliver milk to the retail
branches, and they are also driving ice
wagons. A chocolate factory is send
ing out neatly uniformed women wag
on drivers. Business motor wagons
are being driven by women chauffeurs.
In the big petroleum works women
are doing all kinds of work, filling
cans, loading them on the wagons, and
then going with the drivers and deliv
ering the cans at houses, and collecting
the bills.
