3,500 CAPTURED GERMAN HELMETS
TO BE GIVEN IN VICTORY LOAN
Inspecting cases of German helmets. The two civilians are, left, Frank
R. Wilson, director of publicity, and, right, L». B. Franklin, director of the war
loan organisation.
Workers in the approaching Victory
Loan campaign who render efficient
service in obtaining subscriptions to
the "finish the Job loan,” will be the
proud possessors of genuine Hun hel
mets, taken from captured German
prisoners or found on the battlefields
of France after their former owners
had no further use for headgear, It is
announced by the headquarters of the
Sixth Federal Reserve District at At
lanta.
Three thousand five hundred of these
helmets, averaging eight to a county,
will arrive at the headquarters soon,
and will be distributed. The exact basis
upon which they will be awarded has
not yet been determined, but it will as
sure the real workers of a chance at
the souvenirs. Hun helmets will dec
orate many a home In the South soon.
In some instances they probably will
be converted into cuspidors.
Preparations for the Victory Loan
are going on rapidly, and the opening
day, April 21, probably will find a big
proportion of the state and county
quotas ready for immediate subscrip
tions. This will be especially so in
counties where the individual quota
system is being used. By this plan ev
ery resident of the county will be no

INFECTIOUS AND
CONTAGIOUS DISEASES
MUST
On Jan. Ist, 1919, the department
of Epidemiology was established by
the Georgia State Board of Health.
This department immediately put in
to operation, the quarantine laws of the
State. These laws are inoperable ex
cept the physicians report prevalence
of these diseases in their practice. The
laws of 1993 (creating the State
Board of Health), Sec. 5, which says:
"Be it further enacted, that It shall
be the duty of the local boards of
health, and of physicians in localities
where there are no health authorities
to report to the State Board of Health
promptly upon the discovery thereof,
the existence of any of the following
diseases, to-wit: asiatic cholera, yel
low fever, smallpox, typhus or typhoid
fever, diphtheria and of such other
contagious and infectious diseases as
the State Board of Health from time
to time may specify,” was put into
1 effect.
I Several diseases have been added to
[ the foregoing list. The following is a
complete list and declared'to be com
municable and are hereby required to
be reported to the State Board of
Health. The figures opposite represent
the number reported Sunday, Jan. Ist:
Actinomycosis 9
Acute infectious conjunctivitis . . 18
Anchylostomiasis (hookwoim) . . 17
Cerebrospinal Meningitis 20
Chicken pox 176
Dengue 9
Diphtheria 82
Dysentery (amebic) 9
Dysentery (bacillary) 17
German Measles 41
Glanders 1
Gonorrhoea 1384
Influenza 6018
Malaria 123
Measles 630
Mumps 253
Paratyphoid fever 6
Pneumonia (acute lobar) 657
Poliomyelitis 3
Rabies 7
Rocky mountain spotted or tick fever 1
Scarlet fever 99
Septic sore throat 45
Small pox 536
Syphilis 1019
Tetanus l
Trachoma 2
Tuberculosis (pulmonary) 137
Tuberculosis (other than pulmonary) 6
Typhoid fever 48
Typhus fever 4
Whooping cough 159
Any physicians baving such diseases
to occur in his practice should report
same to city health officer if the. pa
tient lives in a city or town having
such an official, or to the county health
officer, if the county has such an offi
cer, otherwise to the State Board of
Health.
Franked cards are furnished by the
State Board of Health for such re
ports, so that It cost the physicians
nothing, so far as postage is concern
ed, to make these reports. On Jan
uary 10th, the physicians were notified
that this law had gone into effect and
that it became their duty to make
prompt returns on the prevalence of
these diseases in their practices.
Only one report of each case is
required, and this is to be forwarded
on the day the case is diagnosed. This
requires not more than two minutes
of the physician’s time, and a large
pected to have every citizen carry his
own share of the quota, instead of let
ting his more patriotic neighbors car
ry more than their share. Local com
mittees will hear appeals from those
who consider their quota too high.
In most Instances, the same loyal
workers who carried the former loans
to success will form the committees on
the Victory Loan. At recent state
conferences they expressed confidence
in being able to put the Job through,
and their enthusiasm Is certain to car
ry them to success.
Treasury department officials who
have sounded out the sentiment of the
whole country are confident that the
people are willing to lend to their
country for the purpose of finishing
the job and paying the war bills. They
understand the gigantic work that is
still going on, and the necessity of
bringing the boys back home; of giv
ing the wounded men that education
and instruction which wilt enable thei*
to get a fresh start. The Government
has still a big task before it, and the
expenditures are still large. But they
are far smaller in money—to say noth
ing of more precious lives —than if the
war had continued. So the term
“Thanksgiving Loan,” may well be ap
plied to this, the last of the govern
ment’s invitations to its people to lend
their money to their nation.
number of our doctors have been very
diligent in making these reports. For
this we are greatly indebted to these
gentlemen, and the communities where
these physicians practice can congratu
late themselves on having as their phy
sicians, doctors who have the welfare
of the people generally at heart.
But what can we say of the family
physician, who occupies a position of
1 trust and confidence in the hearts and
lives of their patients, and yet fails to
keep faith with the laws of his state,
certainly there are but few' physicians
in Georgia who would willfully violate
such a law, especially since we have
made it so easy and inexpensive to
1 comply with its requirements.
I Everyone of course can see the wis
dom of such legislation, since without
1 such reports the State Board of Health
cannot take the necessary steps to
prevent or suppress the spread of these
conditions.
! Could one imagine this department
trying to prevent an epidemic of scar
let fever, unless its presence in the
community was made known? How
would it be possible to quarantine a
case of diphtheria, yellow fever or a
case of social disease unless we know
of its existence? How can we know
what sections of our state are infested
with malaria unless the physicians in
these sections send us that informa
tion.
During certain seasons of the year,
typhoid fever and the diseases es
pecially characteristic of children are
markedly prevalent. How can we
know just what months these are un
less we are informed by the medical
profession. And how are we to de
termine why they are more prevalent
during any particular season, unless
we know' that they really do occur
during this or that season.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup

pronounced It incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
