TYPHOID EPIDEMIC
LIKELY THIS YEAR
1 , 11 st Year ,*>190 Cases of Typhoid and
549 Deaths Resulted Because of
Carelessness of Our Citizens
The Georgia state board of health
predicts an unusually large number of
,-ases of typhoid fever this year. This
will be a result of at least two condi¬
tions. a mild winter and an early
spring.
A mild winter facilitates the hiber¬
nation of a greater number of flies
than would otherwise be the case. It
is generally conceded that flies con
stitute a most important factor in the
transmission of typhoid from the de¬
jecta of the active case of sickness or
the carrier. It is also a well known
fact that almost throughout the state
except in the sewered areas of our
cities and towns, or In some of the
counties where the Ellis health law
is in effect, human filth is not dis¬
posed of in a manner which affords
protection to its citizens. An evidence
of this fact Is the great number of
surface toilets one sees all along pub¬
lic highways and even in the subur¬
ban districts of our cities. Each one
who observes this can readily under¬
stand why it is so easy for an epidemic
ot typhoid fever to occur in practically
any community of Georgia, when there
exists an abundance of flies to trans¬
port this dangerous germ-laden filth
to the food and drink of people.
A lafge number of flies surviving
the winter would mean a much larger
early crop of young flies, and this
would mean that each succeeding fam¬
ily or generation of this dangerous and
filthy pest is multiplied many times.
An early spring means an early crop
of new flies and when this happens
to be an unusually big family the
number of flies at any one time dur¬
ing the summer might be twice as
great as that of the same tie last year.
This in turn might mean that we would
have twice as many cases of any filth
born diseases, such as dysentery, ty¬
phoid, etc.
East year there developed 5,490 cases
of typhoid fever in this state which
cost us more than -1,000,000 In money
and 549 human iive».
Such losses as these can be easily
and cheaply avoided in two ways, as
follows: 1st, by installing sanitary
apparatus at each home, school, church
and place of business, and thereby
prevent soil pollution, and secondly bv
administering anti typhoid vaccine to
each individual in the state, who by
reason of age (12 to 40 years) is sus¬
ceptible to the disease. The vaccine
is offered hy the state board of health
free of charge to any person in the
state, and yet some one who reads this
article and who defers having the vac¬

Loyalty to Georgia. Loyally is es

Our Slate newspapers for weeks have
been sheets of criminal records, and
our heads have been bowed in shame.
In nearly every issue there has been
some bad news from Georgia. Then I
thought of how our blessed W. C. T. U.
stood for law and order, and sisterhood
and brotherhood for all races and all
conditions of human beings, and prayer
arose, “Lord, help us to reach every
county, every community, every home
and every individual with our gospel
of law and obedience, unselfishness,
purity and Christian love!”
Contrasts. .“Where sin doth abound,
grace doth much more abound.” This
is true in Georgia, and 1 wish the pa¬
pers outside the state would publish
some stories of the wonderful revival
of religion pure and undefiled that is
sweeping the state, having its begin¬
ning in our universities and colleges.
I have heard of the revival at Ogle¬
thorpe. I know of it at Emory Univer
versity. There were some of the man
testations of early Methodism. Scores
of consecrations to definite religious
work when college courses were finish¬
ed. among them seven splendid young
men who offered to “man” a mission
station in Central Africa. Ninety
churches in Atlanta were in a simulta¬
neous revival campaign, and at last

report there were three thousand con-1 I
versions. The extraordinary thing
i
about the results of these meetings
rj^is the great number of young people
boys and girls, young women and young
men, who offered for special religious
work, as preachers of the gospel and
as missionaries as soon as they could
be prepared. There have been revivals
in most of our girls colleges, and I
heard one mother tell of the wonderful
change in her son since the revival
in Tech High School in Atlanta. So
the good, the true, the patriotic, tlr
spiritually minded, still dwell in Oenr
gia, and their name is legion. Never
in the history of tlie state has there
been such a probing of civil govern
ment in our cities and towns. In some
towns bad officials have been put out
of office, who have been in for years.

COMMUNITY CLUB AT
BRICK STORE.
The Woman’s Club held an inter¬
esting meeting at the club room Friday
afternoon, May 7th.
Mrs. J. R. Stephens is president. Mrs.
Wright Adams. Sec. and Treas.
Miss Louise Adams presented a num¬
ber of themes for discussion. Note¬
worthy. was a message concerning the
recent federating of county clubs.
Much encouragement was accorded
the girls’ canning club.
Miss Annie Lee selected “needle
work” for the afternoon's demonstra¬
tion. Many exquisite patterns and in¬
tricate designs were exhibited.
Miss Lee is enthusiastic and res- i
ourceful. She has experience, supple
mented by a careful study of the mod- :
ern methods, from the latest literature.
The club room is a marvel of charm,
and native skill. The Beaver board
walls arc delicately tinted; the curtains
pleasingly harmonious, in patchwork
designs of blue love knots. The spray
of Dorothy Perkins roses in a crystal
case added a colorful note. The mis¬
sion furniture is home-made and cush¬
ioned attractively with flowered cre¬
tonne. The cupboard, or cabinet, is
the gracious offering of a “brother” of
the organization. The shelves are fil¬
led with utensils bought with money
won as a prize in last year’s county
fair. An excellent stove completes the
scheme wherein beauty and utility are
delightfully blended. Every article
spells enthusiasm. Plans are made for
a splendid representation at the fair
this fall. The members of the Brick
store Community Club are, Mt sdames
