TUESDAY AFTERNOON, NOVEMBER 3, 1925 BANDITS BIND ANDROBFARMER Lownder County Farmer Bound and Robbed of $1,300 By Two Robbers VALDOSTA, Ga., Nov. 3. —The sheriff of Lowndes County and his deputies were searching today for two masked bandits who called Ben Zeigler, aged farmer, to his win dow, attacked him with a hatchet, and left him bound to his bedstead. After the assault the men robbed Zeigler 01 approximately $1,300, which he had placed in a safe in the house. They then hurried away, leaving Zeigler a prisoner in his own house until he was discovered. Zeigler, a bachelor living alone since the death of his brother sev eral months ago, stated that he rec ognized one of the men who came to the house. He described this at tacker as tall. The other, he said short man. COMMISSIONERS HOLD THEIR MONTHLY MEET incumbent. The commissioners, after some dis cussion, came to t ;i e conclusion that a county demonstrator was not es sential to the county next year. It was stated by one of the commis sioners, who said he had discussed the matter with a number of farmers, that the farmers were not now de manding the services of the dem onstrator, "Our hog sales are about the most important thing we have the dem onstrator for now," one of the com missioners stated, "and we can ar range to handle that through some one else and save the money the county is appropriating for his sal ary. The commissioners heard Gallagher, superintendent of public health nurses in Georgia, who frank ly told the commissioners that in filling the piace made vacant by the resignation of Miss Holly, they should employ the most competent trained and experienced nurse avail able. The commissioners agreed with her, and Miss Gallagher was asked to locate such a nurse and rec ommend her to the health board. Miss Gallagher stated that in her opinion, the nurses should be kept out in the county, visiting schools and neighborhood meetings and homes and not be confined to the office doing clerical work. She said that half a day a week was suffic ient to keep up the office records. Miss Gallagher suggested that to do this commissioners must furnish the nurse with funds to maintain an au tomobile, that her salary was not large enough for her to maintain a car. To this commissioners agreed. The full text of the report of Dr. J. W. Chambliss, commissioner of health, Sumter county is as follows: “We have examined all rural con solidated white schools of the coun ty with a total enrollment of 1014. Os these, 573 a little more than half, were found with some defects. "547 persons were given three doses each of typhoid serum, making a total of 614 doses and 34 children were given 3 doses each of toxin anti-toxin which immunizes them for life. “There were 1721 people treated • or examined from the Health De partment, and 2757 examinations for separate treatment. Most every physician of the county has called upon and been served in some way by the Public Health Department. “We find, upon examining the schools, while ventilation and light are reasonably sufficient, the school buildings are well kept, but we do find insuficient sanitation and in al most every instance a real bad, ob jectionable disposal of human excreta, this we are working upon daily, but in dealing with the pub lic, with the different trustees, who all have to have meetings and con- ] suit about causes us to be unusually slow in obtaining results, which we feel in the end will be obtained. “Your board of health went rec ord at it’s last meeting as favoring the installation of sanitary toilets in every rural school. And each mem berthe Board is co-operating in an effort to have these installed for the protection of the children of the county “We find school children generally taking advantage of typhoid vaccina tion in the school and with the im munity already given this and last year from typhoid vaccination, we find nearly every school child in the rural district now protected against typhoid fever, which within itself is wonderful. Too, we can’t help but notice that at Leslie, especially, with other schools not mentioned, what bright, rosy, fat children, attend these schools which three or four years ago, presented auite a differ ent picture. Some of these schools show great improvement in health and the teachers tell us that they" are making much more rapid pro gress in their studies. r.ictor W. H Hnu«t«" has sesirt ♦ed me in the public health work the greater part of this month. Doctor Houston was relat’d to me and I could not vote unon hi« ncccrTnnce at a meeting of the board of Health but agreed to abide bv *ho of the other two members of the Board, and agreed to rennet after thirty davs trial upon him. For which I wish to state T find him energetic, thorough in his examina tions, well qualified as a physician, with the work of the county at heart. And I feel that When Dr. Houston qualifies and takes a post-graduate coqrse of six weeks, which he con templates doing, beginning Novem ber first, that he will make the coun ty a good commissioner. He is to attend school with the understanding that he be given tie place here, so if there be any objections, in. fair ness to all, the objections should be made before he enters school. Miss Julia Holly, the present nurse, has resigned as Public Health Nurse, to the Board of Health, ef fective November Ist. This leaves us without a Public Health Nurse, and no applicant before the ■ Board. Inasmuch as it was impossible to give one applicant a decision until she had accepted other work. "It was suggested by Miss Gal lagher, Superintendent of Public Health Nurses of the State of Geor gia, from the State Board of Health, that she be allowed to investigate any applicant before the Board be fore she be hired and that she would be on the lookout for an experienced nurse provided this Honorable body would’make necessary salary ar rangements to pay an experienced nurse, with transportation. By this we mean, that if a nurse buys her own car that she is allowed fifty dol lars per month for expenses of the car and that her salary should be 5125.00 in addition to the fifty to talling about one hundred and sev enty-five dollars. "She also stated this was about the minimuni salary paid to Public Health Nurses employed over the state. Miss Gallagher, has stated as Superintendent of Nurses, and is only interested in helping Sumter as well as other counties get an ex perienced public health nurse that will give you value returned in work 800 I S AND HER BUDDIES Just in Case— Bv Martin ( ~~i I ' TH A'E> WHAT I SAY - I / WHERE ARF f I ~ ' ‘ Z'c'HAT ARE TOO POlNe NAW -I M POTT IN' '|\ Q °HO S EES &O TBED C U I 6OING TO SLEER W WH ANN.ITS TOO ■/ \ ARF 11 1 ' VuNNO -IT B / WITH Akv THOSE BLANKETS- THESE UOMN SOS \ HU/u LL__, -y ?

A single dose will estab lish natural, healthy bowel movement for weeks at a time, even for those i chronically constipated. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin not only causes a gen tle, easy bowel movement but, best of all, it is often months before another dose is necessary. Besides, it is ab-' eolutely harmless, and so pleasant that even a cross, feverish, sick child gladly takes it.
