FROM UNDER SNOW
I have at last realized the ambi
tion of my life —to see the North
under a thick cover of snow. It was
cold and blizzardly Wednesday, but
it turned warmer Wednesday night
and Thursday morning nature pre
sented us with the most beautiful
white downy quilt six or seven inches
thick which covered everything in
sight. Dry and light the snow was
a feast for the eye. Words are in
adequate to express my appreciation
of the opportunity to be a witness of
the scene, and I wish I could trans
fer it in its perfection and beauty
to Middle Georgia for the gratifica
tion of the kids and the old folks,
too.
Gee, whiz! We had it down to
j
six above zero Wednesday, but they
are talking about ten below zero. I
am frozen right now before it gets
here. If Billie Hahr were to at
tempt to “pour out” some of that
boot-leg liquor up here, he would
have to build a bon-fire to thaw it,
or the “boys" would be playing snow
ball with it before it had time to
“soak in.” Quite an experience to
us Georgia crackers to see snow
plows running up and down the side
walks, shoveling off the snow before
seven o'clock. These folks up here
don’t mind it. This is quite mod
erate weather—at six above—they
tell me, and promise some real stuff
in February and March. lam satis
fied and will try and be back in the
Sunny South by that time.
You are familiar with the* crusade
being waged under the leadership of
Bishop Candler, against the foot and
baseball craze. It has never oc
curred to me that this craze of the
timoe was affecting anything but the
educational institutions and the op
portunities presented by such insti
tutions. 1 was talking a few days
ago to a dealer in farm products of
this section and he was complaining
of the quality of the hay crop of this
yenr as compared with that of pre
vious years, and he stated that the
crop this year was very inferior, and
attributed this to the fact that the
farmers had neglected their crops and
given their time at harvest season to
ball games, and allowed the hay to
deteriorate and waste away in the
fields. It was harvested either too
soon or too late in order to give them
more time for ball sports, otherwise
the crop would have been fine. The
disposition to side step our business
interests and our educational inter
ests for athletic sports is growing,
but I had never realized that they
were affecting the farming interests
as indicated by this dealer.
The farmers up here are bringing
in young cattle, hogs and sheep now
from Chicago, Detroit and Kansas
City to be fed up for the market
later on. This is very profitable
here, as the barns are full. Even
where they buy the feed many have
made bin money buying young ani
mals from the west and fattening
them for the market.
This section is not entirely depend
ent upon Florida and California for
its early vegetables. I find around
Toledo hundreds of large hot houses,

Tuberculosis Preventable
If tuberculosis is preventable, why
then is it not prevented? Are the
thousands who are to die during the
coming year worth the saving? If we
knew that we should be among the
number, should we not think it a ter
rible thing? If the treatment is simply
hygiene, is it not strange that we are
not willing to live hygienically until
after we have contracted the disease?
If 200,000 people die annually of
tuberculosis in the United States, and
an equal number are cured of the dis
ease by sleeping and living in the
open air, why would it not have been
better for them to have lived and
slept in the open air “before they got
sick, and thus have avoided the dis
ease? If sleeping and living in the
open air is good for the sick, why
is it not good for the well? Is it not
better to stay well than to be cured
of tuberculosis?
If typhoid fever fe preventable, why
then is it not prevented? The pre
vention of typhoid is not a matter of
medical science any longer; it i9
only a question of public and per
sonal sanitation. Why swallow the
germ at all, and if it must be swal
lowed, why is it not killod first by
boiling or otherwise?
If smallpox is preventable, why then
is it not completely prevented? It is
only a matter of universal vaccination
and is no longer a question of medical
science; it is one of personal suicide
if you die of smallpox.
If syhpilis and other venereal dis
eases are preventable, why then are
they not prevented. They are caused
by specific germs, and no one need
become infected with these germs un
less they want to. The prevention of
this class of diseases is no longer a
question of medical science; It i9 one
of personal choice.
The Lord of creation has given man
dominion over the world and the full
ness thereof, which includes the choice
of good and evil, and incidentally the
means of life and death.
WHAT THE PEOPLE MUST KNOW.
They must know the widespread
prevalence of the venereal diseases;
the far-reaching havoc wrought by
them.
That they are infectious and com
municable.
That gonorrhoea and syphilis often
remain in a latent state for years after
a supposed cure.
That the cessation of the discharge
does not mea na cure of gonorrhoea
nor does the disappearance of visible
symptoms mean the cure of syphilis.
They must know that they are fre
quently carried into the home and
family after a supposed cure.
That in the female gonorrhoea has
such a wide range of manifestations
that there may be no indications what
ever of disease, or there may be any
and every symptom of female trouble
up to the most sever# and critical ill
ness.
That a large part of 90-called female
trouble of married women is due to
gonorrheal infection from the old lat
ent cases in their husbands.
That thousands of good women die
or undergo serious mutilating opera
tions from the eame cauee.
That most of the persons who are
blind from infancy are victims of gon
orrheal infection of the parents.
They must know that all syphilitics
are not horrible looking specimens
with sores and ulcers; that only for
a short period are there akin erup
tions, and that superficial sores and
ulcers appear in but few cases; that
most syphilitics can mingle in any
crowd unnoticed; that there are thou
sands of these.
They must know that a large percen
tage of the inmates of the insane asy
lums are there because of syphilis.
That many diseased, defective and
deformed children pay the penalty for
their parents’ infections.
They must know that nature seldom
effects a cure of these diseases, but
that they can be cured by thorough
and persistent treatment.
That if not cured the penalty is
certain and the infection will most
likely be communicated to many others.
That every really cured case breaks
a link in this chain of infection and
lessens the danger to all.
That ninety-five per cent of all pros
titutes have one or both of these dis
eases.
That the female prostitute is the
source of infection; the male prosti
tute is the carrier of the diseases.
That the Georgia State Board of
Health furnishes pamphlets on these
diseases free for the asking.
LIME FOR THE TEETH.
Lime water made of common lump
lime like masons use to make mortar
is perhaps the very best mouth wash;
it cleanses the teeth perhaps better
than anything. It should bp held in
the mouth and forcefully made to go
in and out between the teeth until
it froths. The lime dissolves and re
moves the mucin that accumulates on
the teeth. Brush and floss the teeth
three times a day.
WHY BABIES DIE.
More than 100.000 of the 250,000 chil
dren less than one year old who die
every year in the United States die
from causes connected with their birth

ice. The need, it adds, for furthei
study and investigation of these causes
is urgent.

PROSPECTS GOOD FOR
AGRICULTURE IN 1923
New Year’* Statement and Reiume of
Agricultural Condition* and Pro
pect* frerm Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace.
Twelve months ago most of the six
million farmers of the United States
were starting on the long hard climb
out of the valley of economic depres
sion. They have not yet attained
the heights which are bathed in the
grateful sunshine of prosperity.
Some, indeed, have fallen by the
way. Others are still in the valley, j
Nevertheless, as we stop a bit and
look backward we can see that very j
considerable ground has been gained
by the great majority, and we can
enter the New Year with renewed
hope and with that courage which
comes from the realization that we
are really making progress.
A year ago, when speaking of the
prospects for farming in 1922, I said
that while there was no reason to ex
pect boom times for the farmer in
the near future, there was promise
of better times, both for the farmer
and for those whose business is large
ly dependent upon him. The year
has brought fulfillment of that prom
ise. Speaking generally, times are
better, much better, than a year ago,
both for agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the
whole. Prices of the major crops
are mostly considerably higher.
While there has been a corresponding
advance in the prices of the things
the farmer must buy, the total sum
which farmers will receive for the
crops of this year is greater by a bil
lion and a half dollars or more than
that which they received for the
crops of last year. This will cer
tainly mean better times on the
farm, and farm folks will be able
to ease up a little on the grinding
economy they were forced to practice
the preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Inter
est rates are lower and the credit
strain has been eased. This has
made it possible for many farmers
who were rather heavily involved to
refund their obligations and get
themselves in condition to win
through.
There are still some dark spots.
In some sections weather conditions
were unfavorable and crops were
short, and farmers in these sections
are having a very hard time of it.
Freight rates are still too high, es
pecially for those who must pay for
a long haul to market.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth
in fanners’ cooperative marketing
associations, and more of them are
being organized on a sound business
basis.
Aside from the help which has
been given by legislation and by ad
ministration acridities, strong eco
nomic forces are at work to restore
a more normal relation between agri
culture and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de
pression is more keenly related by
other groups than ever before, and
on every hand a sincere desire is be
ing evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better his
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reason to erpect still better
things for agriculture in the year
1923.
