MONDAY AFTERNOON. NOVEMBER 9, 1925
A GROWING MENACE
CAMPERS
The nomadic race that we Hem to
be developing is fraught with consid
erable danger to the stay-at-homes
and also to those camp followers who
come along after a carrier of disease.
Thousands of people are constantly
an the go; many of them carry a camp
outfit and camp where night over
takes them. Every one of them Is
potentially dangerous. They hava no
sanitary arrangements at a vast ma
jority of the camps; they generally
seek a camp site with running water
if possible. Streams and wells are
liable to beoome polluted from the
surface drainage. Especially is there
danger from all diseases that come
from human fecal matter. Food left
scattered causes flies, and these sack
ing their natural element for laying
their eggs get contaminations ants
bring them into our homes. We need
some kind of legislative measures to
control this menace to our health. If
all of our itinerants would observe the
law given by Moses all would be well,
but the sanitary laws as well as the
moral code are set at naught by many.
We believe that our Highway De
partment should se aside a sufficient
sum for the examining of camp sites
and mark officailly all places that
would meet the approval of the State
Board of Health. The regular road
men employed by the Highway De
partment could be appointed as Sani
tary Inspectors and given the neces
sary power to condemn any camp that
did not come up to the specifications
that wouiti be promulgated by the
State Board of Health. The State
Board of Health should pass the nec
essary rules and regulations to pro
tect the citizens of Georgia and also
our itinerant visitors. We think that
this should be done immediately.
As a protection to our passing guests
we should have sufficient and conven
ient water supplies along our import
ant highways, examined by the State
Board of Health and prominent signs
placed, certifying the water as being
good or bad.
In making this suggestion, we do so
realizing that our State Board of
Health has no funds for this purpose
but, as stated above, we believe that
this, too, could and should be borne
by the tax imposed on the sale of
gas.
We respectfully suggest that the
Highway Department and State Board
of Health get together on a program
and that no time be lost. We would
also like to urge upon our State Board
of Health the necessity of promulgat
ing rule.? for the conducting of mu
nicipal and for hire camps in Georgia.
PREVENT PNEUMONIA
The pneumonia season is here. Soon
some of your loved ones or acquaint
ances will be suddenly stricken and in
a few days will be tenderly laid away
for their last time. We should do all
that we can against pneumonia. It
is a communicable disease; it is
"caught” by direct contact; that is.
from the secretions of one who has
the disease. There are many "carri
ers,” people who carry the germ of
pneumonia all the time, but who do
not themselves have the disease. How
ever they "give” it to others. Sneezing,
coughing, loud talking close contact,
using glasses dippers and other vessels,
forks, knives, .towels, etc., that have
been used by one who has the dis
ease or a carrier will communicate
the disease to the well. In seasons
when pneumonia is prevalent it be
hooves every one to take care of him
self. Keep the system at par or above;
do nothing that will lower the power
of resistance, and especially should we
take care of ourselves when we have
a "bad cold.” In fact, all diseases of
the respiratory tract come in the
same category ts pneumonia Insofar
as the method of spread is concerned.
PHYSICIANS SHOULD LEAD
L
PROTECT THE INNOCENT.

Every time the Legislature meets,
someone introduces a bill about mar
riage. It is a subject that needs se
rious thought and mature considera
tion. All whp know anything about
the results of the marriage of those
mentally diseased say that they should
not be permitted to marry. Family
histories prove that many criminals
are descended from criminals.
We also have those marrying who
are infected with venereal disease.
This is a great crime against our
daughters, and not alone these dis
eases. but others, sucb as the tuber
cular.
We have given serious considera
tion to this problem, and have come
to the conclusion that our physicians
should take the lead in the matter.
At the next meeting of our State Med- |
leal Association, they should appoint
a committee to draft a bill that all 1
of the physicians can get behind, en
dorse and push. If they think neces
sary, let them draft on their commit
tee some of our best lawyers and min
isters. Every one who has the inter
est of his State at heart wants the
necessary safeguards thrown around
this sacred institution. We hope that
the president of the State Medical As
sociation will advocate this tn his an
nual address, and that the General As
sembly at its next session will give us
a statute or this subject that will be
of service tc the State and to future
generations.
It is estimated cigarets have burn
