LETTER
j M VTCH OUT, IT'S “KETCHIN”
By DR. M. A. FORT, Director
The other day little Mary was over
at Jones’ house playing with the child
ren. She was listless and sleepy, and
said her throat hurt her, so she soon
wen v home.
The next day Mrs. Jones, dear old
soul, took all her children and went
over to comfort Mary. They sat in
the room, rolled on the bed, kissed
Mary, and drank from her glass. Af
ter awhile the doctor came in and af
ter examination said, “Heavens, Mary
has diphtheria.” So the Jones family
are at home quarantined and scared
till they’re sleepless for fear th -y will
take the disease.
This thing happens every day. The
Biblical injunction to visit the sick is
allright if done as was evidently in
tended, to help those who are in need.
But much of the visiting is to satisfy
a morbid curiosity, or to keep up with
the “news,”or to seek entertainment,
or have a good time.
In this day of doctors and nurses
most of the visiting is unnecessary.
Certainly the children should not go
until the doctor assures us that there
is nothing communicable. Even then
the visitors should be assured that the
doctor sanctions their visit, and that
the patient desires his presence.
All doctors have called upon con
valescing patients and found them
with elevated temperatures, flushed,
nervous and exhausted, and found that
the ,, work , oi , days , , had , , been destroyed , ,
because the weak P«tient had tried to
be polite and entertain visitors. All
doctors have been to see mothers with
^ ° ld babieS > and foUnd the
full of neighbors wagging their heads
and , tongues, , and , telling , in audible
whispers of just such cases they had
seen die. An old doctor 300 years
ago wrote, “This is a very ill cus
tom.”
Now is the season of diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles, influenza and
other contagion. Any child who goes
home sick is likely to have one of
these diseases. Don’t send your child
over to find out. Offer your services,
but do not offer to enter the house
unless assured that your services are
eried. If you need to go take all
I ’.the precautions that the doctor ad-

| The Georgia-Carolina School of Commerce, has opened branch School of Business
a
in Cairo, with an initial enrollment, very commendable for the most progressive little
city in South Georgia.
We wish to extend our thanks to all who have in any way helped us in this very
creditable enterprise.. This is no new thing for us as we have been in this business of
taking courses of Business Training to small cities ever since the World War. That we
have given satisfaction is proven by the fact, that we are now repeating these courses
for the second time in many towns all over the southern states with larger enrollments
than we had in the first schools held in these same towns. We have many letters of com
mendation and appreciation on file from these towns which we will be pleased to show you.
a We still offer a chance to enroll any students wishing to take this course in Cairo,
as those enrolling the first week can easily make up any lessons missed. It will pay you
to come in and talk with Mr. Smith, or with the teacher in charge, Miss Thornton, We
m always satisfy the local Chambers of Commerce, Business Men’s Clubs or local Banks of
our reliability and responsibility to carry out our contracts before we start our enroll
ment in any town. This we did before coming to your town and are glad to state that
your local Chamber of Commerce through its secretary, Mr. Hughes, has been of great
a help to us. We are proud of the work we a re doing in our schools now in session in more
m than 40 towns in seven southern states. We have more than 1200 students enrolled in
m these schools which makes us one of the largest Commercial Schools in the United States.
Why not take advantage of our help and experience while you can do it at home, thus
m saving time and money ?

now taken up a career at sea.
Away up on the sun deck of the
Steamship President Lincoln, which
sailed recently from San Francisco for
the Orient, is an iron cabin—the lofti
est place on the ship. It is water
proof, water-tight and strongly built
to protect its contents from sea and
weather. Inside and out, the house is
neat and shipshape and the chief en
gineer is the only person aboard with
a key to the lock.
This cabin known as the auxiliary
room houses an electric power plant
operated by a Chevrolet motor, for
emergency use only.
In case of an accident should every
thing else on shipboard fail or be be
low water this motor generates elec
tricity for the wireless set and for
lights around the life boats. It is one
thing that passengers and crew may
depend upon in case of disaster, for ns
long as there is a spar above water
the auxiliary will function. It is en
tirely independent of the ship’s regu
lar machinery and will operate with
out interruption, supplying current for
distress calls and strong light for
launching the small boats.
Lhile in . these days the possibility
oi a disaster at sea is practically ni,
the auxiliary room gives an added
feeling of security. Chief Electrician
T. Armstrong of the President Lin
coln opens up the little cabin once a
week to test the emergency rig.

vises, but leave the children at home.
The doctor is responsible for the pa
tient. It is very unfair and discourt
eous to him to visit his patient without
his permission. Protect your children
with toxin-antitoxin, vaccination for
smallpox, typhoid, but keep them out
of sick rooms. Be a good neighbor
but remember that you can usually do
this best without upsetting a house
hold with your presence. Ask the doc
tor what you can do to help, and if h 3
thinks best, stay at home.
DO YOU OWE ONE
DOCTOR AND THEN
CALL ANOTHER?
No law can force you to stick to
any one doctor.
You can change as often as you
wish—-or as often as you feel that a
change is desirable. Of course you
will not switch physicians without
a substantial reason.
But the meanest trick of which a
human being is capable is that of
transferring from one doctor to anoth
er to avoid paying a bill.
The doctors know what is going on.
Both the one you left and the one you
went to know why you did it. They
have seen it happen before.
But honest folks don’t do it—until
they have paid the first doctor—in
full.
They realize that the physician they
first called has done his best, regard
less.
And honest folks have the courage
to tell their present doctor the truth
about their financial condition— they
have the moral courage to come out
with the facts.
They do not resort to tricks—switch
doctors to avoid paying.
Remember, your doctor comes whn
you want him. He drops everything
and rushese to you or your dear ones
when danger threatens.
He expects his pay just as the
butcher or grocer expect their pay.
But when you play the sneak—go
to another physician and avoid the
first doctor—you are not a man.
The new doctor you engage is in
touch with all other doctors—and the
new one is going to fear that you will
play the same “dodging” game on
him.
Be square, straightforward and cou
rageous. Tell the truth. Your doc
tor will respect you for it.
Every doctor in town will see
this—as you read it. If you pay
them what you owe, they will
know you are honest. If you
do not, you know what they will
think!
