still have to study.
We are beginning to make prepara¬

have decided to have a small Christ¬

Christmas will soon be here! We are
beginning to feel it in our bones. We
wish every one could see our room;
our boards are decorated with Chirst
mas scenes, our wreaths are in the
winows, and we just can’t hardly
wait for the time for our Xmas tree.
But we can’t have all “sweets”—
monthly tests are coming and we cer¬
tainly want to bring up our arithmetic
and geography marks.
We want to ask, “Why do the Bal¬
kan people fight so much?” Is it just
to make us study harder and learn
more new names of new countries?
We wish they would have a disarma¬
ment conference all their own.
The girls from our room in the mu¬
sic and expression recital are Julia

Burt. Leonora Pace and Glennie Padg¬
ett.
The prize for the best composition
on Robert E. Lee was awarded to
Leonora Pace.

CUTTING FUNDS CUTS WORK
Twenty-Four Thousand One Hundred
And Fifty-Nine Dollars Of The
Fund For 1921.
The appropriation of the State Board
of Health for 1922 and 1923 was cut
by the Legislature. This cut, with the
withdrawal of federal aid to venereal
disease control work, gives the State
Board of Health $24,159.00 less money
than they are operating with this year.
It is hard to conceive how this work
can be carried on in the same pro¬
portion as at present; in fact, it can¬
not be done. The Venereal Disease
Control Division of the Board has been
cut 60%; this means that this De¬
partment cannot do much more than
continue its free Wasserman Depart¬
ment and possibly furnish Keidel blood
tubes to the physicians. This, as we
view it, is no less than a public ca¬
lamity. The State Board of Health,
so far as the central unit is concerned,
had their appropriation cut $9,590.
When you consider the growth of the
population and the constantly increas¬
ing demands on the Laboratory, you
will realize that this really means a
decraas^ m. the ca pacity of the work

For the common everyday ills

of the~State' Board of Health, of about
20%; in other words, it was estimated
by Dr. Thos. F. Abercrombie, the Sec¬
retary and Commissioner of Health,
that to keep pace with our increase
of population and consequent danger
from infectious :r ’ oinmunicable dis¬
eases incident ■ natural conges¬
tion of people id have to have
ten thousand o u more money for
1922 and 1923 than for last year and
this. This, it seems to the editor of
this paper, was a very modest and rea¬
sonable conclusion.
The appeal of Dr. Abercrombie to
the appropriation committee was for
$100,950.00. This was made after very
careful estimates had been made hav¬
ing in view the financial condition of
the Stat* and of the people who pay
the tax, keeping constantly in mind
the actual demands on him by the peo¬
ple and the physicians of his State,
with also the fact that the lowered re¬
sistance of our people from the neces¬
sity for economy that all must prac¬
tice, the possibility of an increase in
the communicable diseases and a pos¬
sibility of pellagra increasing. We can
imagine his grief and surprise when
the committee recommended an ap¬
propriation for the entire work of $67,
for this
had been $90,590.00.
The friends of the people and those
legislators who were interested in the
prevention of disease, some of them
being members of the appropriation
committee from the floor of the House
succeeded in getting this raised to $81,-
431.00. Many realized that this sum
was entirely inadequate for the work
of the health department, and interest¬
ed themselves in having the Senate
increase the amount at least to the
figure of this year, but history of all
time was broken when the Senate
adopted the House Bill without the
changing of a word, the dotting of an
1 or the crossing of a t.
We think, in justice to our State
Board of Health, our people, and the
physicians especialy, should know the
tacts, and if you are not able to get
front this Board the co-operation that
you think you should, you should re¬
member that they are doing the very
best they can and wrestling with a
shortage of $24,159.00.
It is more than likely that the dis¬
tribution of free Arsphenamine will
have to be discontinued, and that the
funds will admit of very little diphthe¬
ria antitoxin being given the poor.
This is no le-s than a public calamity,
as a few doses ot 606 will control the
spread of Syphilis and a few thousand
units of antitoxin will save a life.
Our State has many people in it who
are not able to pay for these reme¬
dies.
The work of the Board will have
to be curtailed in other respects as
well, AYe are_ quite _sure th at it *iU
function "as Best - it can, and - with the
small appropriation at its disposal will
be the means of preventing much ill¬
ness and the curing of many who are
sick through Its diagnostic work at the
Laboratory.
PROTECTION OF WOMEN REFUSED
Legislature Falls to Pass Necessary
Law.
The protection of the young women
of our State against venereal Infec¬
tion that was sought In a bill by Mr.
Moore, of Appling County, In the re¬
cent legislature was defeated because
of a lack of a constitutional majority.
The vote on this bill was 85 for and
65 against; it requires 100 votes to
pass such a law. The bill was called
up at a very inopportune time, on Mon¬
day morning before a number of mem¬
bers of the House arrived. Splendid
work in favor of the enactment of this
measure into a law was done by the
various organizations of the good wom¬
en of Atlanta and a few outside of the
city.
The bill will be again offered at the
next session, and, in the interim, it is
hoped that all who are interested in
the matter will do some effective
work.
Ponder over the following rigure :
48 per cent of all deaths under one ye :t
of age occur during the frst rooxi h
of life, and that at least 13 per cen;
of them are due to natal or pr naml
causes. It is believed that congenital
syphilis or no syphilis, our resp.r
sibility to the unborn and the new
born child should ,be encouraged r .n!
the responsibility taken up. E» or./
community has its part of this \i;r
den to bear.
Use of Peat as Fuel.
The burning of peat has an indi¬
vidual as well as a national signifi¬
cance. For instance, consider this
from Peter Christianson, professor of
metallurgy In the school of mines at
the University of Minnesota:
“There is scarcely a farmer In the
state of Minnesota, except In the
southeastern, western and extreme
northwestern portions, who could not
make himself independent of a coal
supply for heating purposes by p re flar¬
ing and using peat from his own farm.
Incidentally, peat Is found in sixty
four of the eighty-six counties of the
state. Other states have lots of It, too.
“All the man needs to do Is to take
spade, cut the peat from his bog in
blocks and dry it. He can do It cheap¬
er than he can pay $15 or $20 for
coal, too. My father burned peat for
years here in Minnesota and it made
an excellent fire. Farmers are using
It for fuel In some sections of the
state, particularly those from the old
countries, who are acquainted with its
use. —
