PLAN SUGGESTED
BY STATE BOARD
Stagnant Water Should Be
Drained Away, or Else Oil
Placed Thereon to Prevent
Mosquitoes Hatching.
Dr. M. A. Fort, Director of Malaria
Control of the State Board of Health
says in an interview: #
There is a rapidly'growing sentl
ment for fighting mosquitoes in thlf
state. Most towns are beginning •
fight. Some of theme are doing good
work, others are doing only mak*
j shift work.
Mosquitoes make their nests on
water. The babies that hatch from the
eggs are wiggletails. These change
Into pupae, or “tumblers,” and these
soon hatch out mosquitoes. These are
best fought when, they are babies, liv
ing in the water. ** Break up the nests.
This means drainage. If there is no
standing water there can be no mos
quito breeding. A complete drainage j
program for a town pays for itself •
many times over in improved health |
conditions, reclaimed land and improv
ed property values. Succeeding years
there is only the drains to be kept |
clean, and some oiling.
Many mosquitoes do not make theii
nests in the ditches and ponds, but in
our own back yards, in barrels, tubs,
watering troughs, tin cans, and numer
ous other places. No town will clean
up the mosquitoes unless it combines
with the fight on the water in public
ditches, a fight also on water on pri
vate premises. And the best of us will
forget or neglect breeding places unless
there is an inspector to come around (
and locate them for us, and help us to
dispose of them.
A very rapid and efficient way of
applying a film of oil on water is by j
soaking sawdust with oil, and sprink
ling a little of this on all breeding;
places. This is often a cheap plan, as
any waste oil can be used, even If it
is too dirty for any other purpose.
Often waste oil from garages and oth
er mechanical plants can be gotten for
nothing, and used with great benefit.
Some day I hope to see all towns
put on a complete drainage program,
but until finances are available foi
that purpose, all should at least fight
the mosquitoes as well as they can.
If I am asked for an outline of a plan
I would suggest the following:
1. Employ a full time sanitary man
to work under the Health Officer.
2. Let this man apply oil to all out
side breeding places once every week.
This may be done with a spraying ap
paratus, or with sawdust, as suggested
above.
3. The remaining time, let this man
visit all homes, and help us find tin
snsnected. breeding places and Ijelp us
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEE
CORRECTS DITTEMORE REPORT
Atlanta.—Many newspapers have
accepted and published an unfair
news story of a report of Frederic
Dodge of Boston, Mass., Master in the
Dittemore litigation.
John V. Dittemore, a former director
of The First Church of Christ, Scien
tist, in Boston, was dismissed from ins
position as director in March, 1919. In
April, 1919, Mr. Dittemore filed a suit
against the remaining directors of the
Christian Science Church, protesting
that he had been illegally discharged.
The news story above referred to is
an extremely unfair account of Judge
Dodge's report. While purporting to
state or quote the Master’s findings as
to why the Directors voted to dismiss
Mr. Dittemore, it neither states nor
quotes the Master's main finding on
this subject. This finding is in num
bered paragraph 57 of the Master’s re
port, and reads as follows:
“I do not find, however, that their
preparation and adoption of the reso
lution to dismiss him was wholly in
duced by feelings against him of the
I above character. I find that the con
< trolling motive which induced its adop
tion by the defendants who voted for
it was the desire on their part to re
move the obstacle presented by the
plaintiff's presence on the Board to
their attempts to arrange a compro
mise with the Trustees; though they
acted the more readily under said con
trolling motive by reason of their will
ingness to disassociate themselves
from a colleague with whom they
could not agree and whom they did not
like. Exqept to the above extent, I
aqi. unable to find that their action
i* good faith.’’
The account in question goes on
from beginning to end with a coloring
that would not only exhonerate Mr.
Dittemore from any w r rong doing, but
establish him as one of a much higher
moral and spiritual standing than the
defendant directors. Right here it
should be known that during the past
•our years resolutions of loyalty and
approval have been sent to the Di
rectors who dismissed Mr. Dittemore,
by nearly all of the Christian Science
churches and societies In the world.
These resolutions, adopted by regular
official business meetings of the
branch Christian Science churches
and societies, have been repeated
□umbers of times, and today the
Christian Science members stand al
most as a unit in love and harmony in
their loyalty to the Directors of the
Mother Church, in upholding the Man
ual which constitutes the governing
iiws of the Christian Science organi
-atlon.

CLINIC-INSTITUTE
FOR PHYSICIANS
Emory University Medical Depart
! ment is doing one of the finest pieces
of work ever put on for the betterment
of medicine and surgery in our state
This is the third year of what is called
an “Jfstitute-Clinlc Week.” The Col
lege in conjunction with the State
Board of Health has arranged a week
of intensive post-graduate work for the
1 physicians of Georgia and the South-
I east. Lectures are given, about four
each day, and clinics at all the hos
! pitals have been arranged, beginning
at 8 a. m. and running throughout the
day by the leading surgeons and medi
cal men of Atlanta. Bedside study of
| cases and post mortems are made.
The 4th of June will be the opening
day, which will be held at Emory Uni
versity; inspection of the completed
Wesley Memorial Hospital, with lunch
eon served at noon. The sth, 6th and
7th there will he lectures and clinics
the whole day through. Thursday
night Fulton County Medical Society
will keep open house_and Friday night
the Alumni of Emory University will
hold Its annual session, dinner being
served at the Capital City Club. Dr
Joe P Bowdoin Is president of the
i Alumni Association and Dr. J. W. Rob
erts, of Atlanta, is its secretary.
Reduced railroad rates have been
granted for the occasion on the certifi
cate plan. All who attend should gel
a certificate from the agent who sells
them the ticket, paying full fare, and
the reduction will be granted on the
return. This is a great opportunity foi
the doctors of our State and indirectly
to our people as a whole.
A meeting of all the Health Offi
cers of our State has been called by
Dr. T. F Abercrombie, testing for twe
days. at the office of the State Board
of Health. 131 Capitol Square, Atlanta

While the findings of Judge Dodge
were in favor of Mr. Dittemore in con
firming his position, it should be
known that Judge Dodge’s decision
was reversed in the case of Herbert
W. Eustace, et al., vs. Adam H. Dickey,
et al., when the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts upheld the Directors
in their legal dismissal of two trustees
of the Christian Science Publishing So
ciety in March, 1919.
The Ditttemore case is also going be
fore the Supreme Court, and consist
ent with the decision of the Eustace
V. Dickey case, it is expected that
there will be another reversal. In the
first case, the Christian Science Di
rectors were found to be acting legally
according to the church Manual. The
Boston Post of November 24, 1921, re
ported: "The Directors of The First
Church of Christ, Scientist, have won
a complete victory today in their con
troversy with the Trustees of the
Publishing Society. They have the
power to remove all the Trustees or
any of them. This was decided yes
terday when the full bench of the
Supreme Judicial Court handed down
its long awaited decision.”
The Dittemore account, Just publish
ed, is also unfair in that it fails to
mention the controversy w-ith the late
Trustees of the Publishing Society and
Mr. Dittemore's participation therein,
although the master continually re
ferred to this subject, and mentioned
it explicitly in his finding as to “the
controlling motive” of the Directors
The master also disclosed Mr. Ditte
more's attitude toward Section 5 of
Article I of the Manual, but the ac
count in question is also silent on this
point. This by-law reads: “The Chris
tian Science Board of Directors shall
consist of five members. They shall
fill a vacancy occurring on that Board
after the candidate is approved by
the Pastor Emeritus. A majority vote
or the request of Mrs. Eddy shall dis
miss a member.”
The account in question is nothing
less than propaganda calculated to
produce public sentiment against the
form of church government estab
lished by Mrs. Eddy, and to discredit
the present Directors in their conduct
and motive*. The by-laws which au
thorised the Directors to dismiss Trus
tees or Directors were established by-
Mary Baker Eddy and the Directors
are obediently fulfilling their obliga
tions in their varied responsibilities.

NEWS ITEM.
To Whom It May Concern;
Are you planning a summer vaca
tion? If so, will you go fishing, plc
nlclng or visiting out of town?
When depressed by the long, hot
summer days, is it not very probable
that you will stop in for refreshment
at soda founts where glasses and
spoons are merely rinsed in water and
not properly sterilised between drinks?
Are you planning to travel on busi
ness or for pleasure some time this
summer, when you will eat and drink
in many different places without
knowledge as to the hygienic condi
tions under which they are operated?
Is the community in which you live
infected with flies and other insecl
pests during the summer months?
Those who answer "yes” to one oi
more of these questions are urged by
the State Board of Health to protect
themselves against a disease which ie
very closely associated with these ac
tivities —namely, typhoid fever. There
is only one safe and reliable insurance
against this great calamity which is
apt to befall anyone, regardless o)
his living conditions, and that is TY
PHOID VACCINE. Typhoid fever is
a food and water-borne disease. Con
stant diligence in choosing clean food
and water from reliable sources will
reduce the danger to some extent, but
in traveling about from place to place
it is impossible to avoid more or less
risk. A study of typhoid histories by
health experts demonstrates the fact
that the majority of cases are contract
ed by vacationists, transients and
week-enders.
The need for vaccinatloa is all the
more urgent for those who live in
small t'nvns and in the country dis
tricts where the water supply is de
rived from wells, springs and small
filtration plants where proper precau
tions to prevent pollution cannot be
applied. Flies also are great spread
ers of typhoid and other food and
water-borne diseases, and those who
are compelled to eat fly-specked food
should protect themselves by vaccina
tion.
715 people in Georgia died of typhoid
fever in 1922, and more than SEVEN
THOUSAND lost from three to twelve
weeks time indulging in a most ex
pensive pastime of battling against a
disease which, though finally conquer
ed, left the visitors exhausted for many
months, both physically and financial
ly.
In 1923 we may expect a repetition
of the typhoid record of 1922 with, we
hope, some diminution, but those who
have been vaccinated within the past
two or three years, or take the vaccine
NOW. will not be numbered among
the victims.
Typhoid vaccination is harmless and
simple. Remember, typhoid fever be
gins to appear in May—therefore, the
people of Georgia are urged by the
State Board of Health to insure them
selves at once against this disease.
After the fever sets in it is too late.
Typhoid vaccine is manufactured
and distributed free of charge by the
State Board of Health. It must be
administered by a physician, but those
who cannot afford this may apply to
their health officer. Both physicians
and health officers are urged to begin
their campaigns at once and order
vaccine accordingly.
If you have a growth or lump that
you do not understand, do not paint it
with iodine or wait on it too long; It
may be cancer. Go to a good physician,
have it examined and. if in doubt, have
it examined under the microscope. Can
cer can be controlled if taken in time;
it should be removed or treated with
X-ray or redium. Don’t delay; don’t
try to treat it with pastes or plasters;
go to a good surgeon; take his advice.
Cancer is on the increase, we are
told; this, notwithstanding many ad
vertised cancer cures. There is no such
thing as a cancer cure; the only sci
entific thing to do for cancer to to
have a competent surgeon remove the
growth. Any lump should receive Im
mediate attention; delay is death.

The Home of the Soul
In olden times, it was believed that
the seat of the soul was the stomach,
most likely for the reason that a man
is never so completely used up as
when his stomach is out of order.
For the cure of ordinary stomach
troubles, there is nothing quite so
prompt and satisfatory as Chamber
lain’s Tablets. They strengthen the
stomach and enable it to perform its
functions naturally. Give them a
trial. They only cost a quarter.
