The diseases usually

troubles. Some rarer may
spread through water but this is more
unusual The danger from water¬
borne diseases generally arises from
the entrance of sewage or drainage
from around privies and similar places.
This contaminated water flows into
the well or Into the ground near a well
spring and hence into the water IF
or
e0 lf Sewage or polluted surface wa¬
ter contains millions of germs and,
very often, dangerous ones. These
f#rms when taken into the human
body through drinking water produce
serious diseases.
In order to protect wells, all surface :
wash water must be excluded. This
m ay be done by making the upper
walls and top entirely water tight and,
*o far a* possible, preventing water
Handing around the well. A leaking
top will allow tilth from the feet to
wash Into the well when water spills
from tbs buoket.
A curb should be brought up above
th« surface of the ground and a tight
com, preferably of concrete, should
be constructed. If possible a pump
should be used. Under these condi¬
tion* no surface wash water or water
spilled, washes hack into the well. All
closets, barn yards and stables should
b« moved or located not nearer than
190 to MO feet from a well and pre
farably upon ground draining away
from ths water supply.
In lores cases, highly contaminated
water or sewage enters the ground
and flows through underground fts
iur*» (cracks and caverns) until it
sontaminateg the ground waters, even
at ooniiderable distances. Any well
or spring in the neighborhood may
tben be affected and made dangerous.
While tome kinds of soil purify the
waters passing through, such purifi¬
cation cannot be relied on. The 8tate
Soaid of Health has found that about
7# to 80 per eent of shallow or dug
well* furnish water more or less im¬
pure. If the right conditions arise
auoh weils will actually become infect¬
ed, that is they will contain living dis¬
ease germ#, which will produce sick
mu Ordinary cleaning of a well
asdar these circumstances, will pro¬
duce no improvement in the water for
it does not reach the source of the
trouble.
Protect the water in every possible
way from human and animal filth If
ysu wish to avoid the common water¬
borne diseases.

AND AN AWAKENING
To the people of the earth the war
uas brought suffering, anxiety, priva¬
tion, desolation, and destruction. But
ks in the case of all wars some ulti¬
mate good must oouie. To America it
has brought a revelation and aa
awakening. It has laid before our
eyes, and especially before us Geor¬
gians, a startling fact—one that w#
must fees in the eyes of our sister
slates and the nations of the world.
The army reports based on the first
million men drafted into military ser
vice, ?how that out of every 100 whites
there were 11 infected with one or
more of the Venereal diseases The
negroes show an even higher infeo
Mod. 3$ out of every 100, Georgia
ranks fourth to the bottom among the
state* of »he union In the existence
of these diseases.
Now whence did these men coma?
Out of Georgia homes thsy Came,
being called according to their selec¬
tion numbers. Now bear in mind the
examination of these men were made
at the time of their entrance into tho
army service. What do such facts
prove other than that These diseases
were prevalent among those* and some- .
times unknowingly, who form an in¬
tegral part of our society, and their
wlde-apread existence was brought to
light to the people as a whole by the
thorough medical examination of the
army.
In the face of such what shall be
our course? Sinoe we have been start¬
led by such a revelation shall we
just accept such facts as statistics or
shall we arise with the similar awaken¬
ing of the other states of bur country
Bad do what we oan te combat these
enemiaa which are preying upon the
health of our citizens?

the way in this direction by it# mil- j
