Preventative Medicine
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. It is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one of the most
dangerous diseases that medical men
have to contend with, often follows
a cold or attack of the grip. The
cold prepares the system for the re
ception and development of the pneu
monia germ. The longer the cold
hangs on, the greater the danger.
Take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
as soon as the first indication of a
cold appears so as to get rid of it
with the least possible delay. It is
folly to risk an attack of pneumonia
when this remedy may be obtained
for a trifle.

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK IS OBSERVED
May 1 Sees Inaugurated First
General Campaign of
Kind in Service.
Without the Postal Service, business
would languish In n day, and be at a
•tandstill In a week. Public opinion
would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred
or prejudice only would flourish, and
narrow-mindedness thrive.
It Is the biggest distinctive business
In the world and It comes nearer to the
Innermost Interests of a greater num
ber of men and women than any other
Institution on earth. No private busi
ness, however widespread, touches so
many lives so often or sharply; no
church reaches Into so many souls,
flutters so many pulses, has so many
human beings dependent on its min
istrations.
“Postal Improvement Week’’ has
been set for May 1. by the Postmaster
General. This is the first general cam
paign of Its kind In tins Postal -Service
for several decades. Business men
and their organisations, large users of
the mall, newspapers, motion pictures,
advertisers, and the entire organiza
tion of 326,000 postal workers are to be
enlisted In tills country-wide campaign
of Interest In postal Improvements.
Your help is vital. Address your let
ters plainly with pen or typewriter.
Give street address. Spell out name
of State, don’t abbreviate. Put your
return address in the upper left hand
corner of envelope (not on the back)
and always look at your letter before
dropping in the mail to see if it is
properly addressed. This care in the
use of the mails is for your benefit and
speeds up the dispatch and delivery
of mail matter.
If you have any complaints of poor
•ervlce make them to your postmaster.
He has instructions tc investigate them
and report to the department.
COURTESY
It sticks in human relations like
postage stamps on letters. The
POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT ex
pects it to be used by its postmasters
and employees in dealing with the
public.
Help them in its use beginning
with POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
WEEK. May 1 6, 1922.
THANK YOU
WITHOUT STREET ADDRESS
YOUR MAIL IS DELAYED
AT OFFICE OF DELIVERY
The Dead Letter Office has born in
existence ever since Ben Franklin
started our postal service. Even then
people addressed mail to Mr. Ezekiel
Smithers, "Atlantic Coast,” and ex
pected Ben to know just where Zeke
lived.
Perhaps they had Zeke's address in
letters up in (lie garret, maybe a chest
full of ’em, but tlien it was easier to
let Ben bunt Zeke. Today people are
addressing letters t<> John Smith, New
York, N. Y., or Chicago, 111., thinking
Uncle Sam can locate him, which is
just as incomplete as was Zeke’s ad
dress of yore. The Postoffice Depart
ment asks you to put the number and
street in the address. It helps you.
How do you expect tbe Postal Clerk
to know whether you mean Trinidad,
California, or Trinidad, Colorado?
ALWAYS SPBLI. OUT THE NAME
OK THE STATE IN FULL IN THE
ADDRESS.

HUMANIZING THE
POSTAL SERVICE
“There Is no unimportant person or
part of our service. It is a total of
human units and their co operation is
the key to Its success. In its last
analysis, postal duties are accommo
dation* performed for our neighbors
and friends and should be so regarded,
rather than aa a hired service per
formed fur an absentee employer.”—

SAFEGUARDING
THE COMMUNITY
(By Detective William J. Bum*)
Like the poor, the crook is always
with us. The fear of punishment,
whether it be the shadow of jail, or
even the noose or electric chair, sel
dom restrains the individual whose
morals are warped or whose resist
ance to temptation is weakened by
the opportunity to gain by dishonest
effort.
Indeed, it frequently happens that
the man of hitherto spotless reputa
tion, when subjected to the urgent
pressure of the necessity for funds,
loses his grip on himself and com
mits theft, robbery or even murder.
Take the famous Massachusetts
case of Professor Webster, of Har
vard, who murdered Parkman, a mat
ter of fifty years ago, which is per
haps one of the most celebrated
criminal cases on record. Webster
had led a blameless life up to the
time when a sudden temptation to kill
Parkman overcame his mental and
moral restraint and the results of his
act shocked well nigh the entire coun
try.
It is generally agreed by criminolo
gists and those who closely follow
the activities of the crooks that the
present crime wave is a reflex of the
recent great war; as history teaches
us this has been true from the days
of the Roman wars. This being the
greatest war in the world’s history,
naturally the crime wave is the great
est. I, personally, have never known
a time when the crook and the thief
were so much in evidence as today.
Years ago, in the time of Jesse
James and the Dalton boys, the
criminals’ greatest opportunity lay
in the robbing of,mail trains and the
cracking of bank safes, but so many
devices for protecting these have
since been developed and perfected
that the criminal has broadened his
field of operations, and cunning in
genuity and daring operation have
largely taken the place of old-time
night safe cracking and railway hold
ups.
Indeed, it is a matter of almost
every day occurrence to read of a
bank holdup in broad daylight, while
the burglaries and thefts in homes
and apartment houses are almost’ too
numerous to mention.
Laws increasing the degree of
punishment for such crimes may tend
somewhat to discourage them, at
least to a degree, but it is my per
sonal opinion that the matter goes
far beyond or far back of these con
siderations, and criminals are fre
quently created because of the lack
of restraint, and I might almost say
lack of religious teachings and dis
cipline during childhood.
I am not a pessimist, but I some
times wonder whether the opportuni
ty for success along honest lines is
■ufficiently brought to the attention
of the young men and women of to
day by their parents and guardians.
While I do not intend to pose as a
preacher, I would like to say that if
criminal operations of all kinds are
in the future to be reduced in num
ber, it will be necessary for parents
to exercise a much more careful
supervision of their children’s educa
tion along moral lines. As I have
already said, it is in the home that
we must first undertake to teach
them by precept and example, and
unless we succeed in persuading our
children in their early years that
honesty is not only the best policy,
but the most successful and re
munerative in the long run, we shall
ultimately scarcely be proud of our
record as law-abiding citizens.
NEGATIVES WIN DEBATES
Boys’ High School of Atlanta de
feated Gordon in a debate here Sat
urday night, the question being,
“Resolved, That the Motion Pictures
As Now Conducted Are Beneficial to
the American People.”
H. E. Smith and E. 0. Dobbs, of
Gordon, defended the affirmative,
while Messrs. Goldstein and Branch,
of Boys’ High, represented the nega
tive. While all four speakers pre
sented strong arguments, that of
Cadet Smith was unusually good.
However, the judges rendered their
decision in favor of the negative.
The Gordon team representing the
negative, Cadets J. C. Rogers and L.
B. Huie, defeated the affirmative
team of Emory Academy at Oxford
the same night, thereby splitting
even the triangular debate.
It is understood that the negative
team of Emory defeated the affirma
tive team of Boys’ High in Atlanta.
The result was that the negative side
won in each instance, as would seem
natural.
A fine spirit prevailed in all the
debates. Cadets Rogers and Huie
report royal treatment at Oxford,
and the visitors to Barnesville were
likewise given courteous considera
tion.
