PAGE SIX [This Business Pays More Than 100 Per Cent Profit—You Are a Stockholder. 1 We are Interested the more in cor porations. business establishments, and institutions in which our money is invested. Os course, we all have a passive interest in any enterprise which will expand and develop our resources, thereby benefiting the com mercial activities of our state. Civic pride compels us to recognize the far reaching effect of all institutions which bring to us culture and refine ment and the betterment of society. However, we always show specific in terest in that particular institution in which our capital is invested. “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." All of our State institutions merit ' the support they receive at the hands of our legislature. They were created 1 and are supported for the express pur pose of serving, in their various ways, the people of the State, who maintain them directly by payment of taxes. j Some of our institutions, however, 1 could do a much greater good to a greater number of people by being supported commensurate with the , services rendered. Such institutions which show large dividends on the ! investent should have the whole heart- ' ed co operation of our legislature. For instance, our State Board of Health returns, reckoned in the commercial value of its services, many times more than the capital invested. It uses the talents entrusted to it well indeed. Health of the individual is the foun dation stone on which the progress and success of the individual rests. Any country which neglects the health of its individuals must of necessity , weaken, crumble and give place to a/ more sturdy people. There was once the great Homan Empire. If we would compare our State in this particular to our neighboring States we would at once see that Georgia appropriates to its Health De partment much less per capita than any of her surrounding sisters. They have seen the good work of health protection to their citizenry, realizing that the sickness of each individual is an economic loss to the State. They take particular interest and .pride in these institutions which return to them so large dividends in safeguard ing health. Our State Board of Health is doing rerQarkably well in serving the peo ple, in view of Its limited means. However, so much better and more i expansive work could be done with an increased Investment. Which of you would not increase your holdings many fold in any business that was earning for you. in value of services rendered, more than 100 per cent on ! your investment each year. , East year the legislature appropri- ] ato cl SIO,OOO to (he State Board of ; Health for the Venereal Disease Con trol Bureau. In the annual report of ; this institution for 1924, we find that i the laboratory of this division alone made 19,832 examinations, which, it given the commercial value of $5.00 each as is charged by private insti tutions amounts to $99,100. A large amount of field work has been done in addition toward eradication of ve nereal diseases, the value of which cannot be calculated in # dollars and cents. This is only one of the many departments of this institution each of which show similar results. We think that such a worthy institution should have the financial support which it so deservingly merits. GROWING PAINS. / . We often bear of children suffering with “growing pains." There is no such “animal.” A child who complains of "growing pains” is a sick child and needs the services of a good physician without delay. There may be serious j causes for the pains suffered by chil- | dren. If the child is under three years] of age, it is possible that the trouble] is rickets; this is a general disease and not a disease confined to the part of the body where the pain exists. It i is a serious disease and one that should have the attention of a competent phy sician, so says our State Board of Health, who would likely prescribe di rect sun's rays and cod liver oil. In the older child the pains are likely due to septic absorption or septicemia. It is our duty to find the focus of the infection and remove it. Quite often this is diseased tonsils, abscessed teeth or adenoids It is imperative that we get the ou'ending pus out of the system without the least bit of delay; it is foolishness to postpone an operation for the removal of diseased tonsils. All enlarged tonsils are not ihfeoted tonsils, and often do not need removing, but the tonsil that has pus in it should come out and be removed completely, not just clipped, but dis sected out. There are other sources of infection that we cannot discuss in this article, but often the most seri ous damage done is not apparent: it is most likely the heart that suffers and in after years will give trouble. The serious membrane that lines the joints and the heart is most like ly to be affected in "growing pains;" you generally have a tru e rheumatism. The heart has likely been the first to suffer, so it well behooves us to have a good physician make a most thor ough examination in all such cases. Remember, growing does not produce pain; there is a reason; find »; re move it. Plain, simple food is best for health. Use T. R" Want Ads Wouldn’t Pose >v ; i \ Fl - \ * ' g.
