.~ Much has been sald and written
uapon the subject of the Ten Command
ments. Indeed for the most part all
eivil and criminal laws throughout
Christendom are based upon these
laws, which were handed to the world
:{ Moses and engraved on the tables
stone.
While these laws are fundamental,
their observance essantial to the
‘ of a nation, yet there is an
or eleventh commandment which
ht be nominated as the “Sanitary
! " of Moses., This is found In
wverses 13, 14 and 16 in the 23rd
oh.trgm of Deuteronomy.
e observance of this law was
scarcely of less importance to the
health welfare, and even the lives of
those who had followed Moses across
the Red Sea and into the wilderness,
than was any one of those found in
the moral and religious code,
God did for these unfortunate =hil
dren of his, that which they could
not do for themselves. He caused the
rock to give forth pure, clear, spark
ling water to satisfy their thirst and
to cool and cleanse their hot, dusty
feot. Quail, a very choice and nu
tritious meat, in large numbers came
into the camps in the evening, and‘
bread was rained from heaven iln the
morning. In this manner a heipless
host of about two million was pro
vided with food and water,
However, sickness, afflictions and
even epldemics of disease were certain
to make their appearance unless every
sanitary precaution were taken. This
was a condition over which these peo
ple had control, and therefore the mi
raculous powers of God in preventing
or curing the serious maladies that are
certain to follow in the path of un
sanitary living are unnecessary.
As it was with these dwellers in
the Wilderness of Sin, located between
Elim and Sinal, so it is with all
those who live between the north and
south poles today.
There is a long list of diseases which
strict sanitary measures will prevent
altogether, or reduce to a minimum,
Among the diseases that head the list
are to be found; Tuberculosis, Ma
laria, Influenza, Typhoid Fever, Hook<
worm Disease, Cholera, Dysentery, Yel
low Fever, Dengue, Flague, Scarlet
Fever, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough
and Measles.
The civilized world is just beginning
to undertake the observance of the
Mosaic Sanitary Code. Even yet
some of those who stand before the
congregation and proclaim, expound
and interpret the laws of God are them
selves guilty of violating the spirit
of the Sanitary Code, as .well as the
Sixth Commandment, (Thou Shalt
Not Kill,) at least in a negative way.
Many of these divines, regardless of
the length of the casket which con
tains the lifeless body of one who has
recently departed this life, are heard
to say. “For as much as it hath
pleased Almighty God, in His wisdom,
to take out of this world our helov:
ed_.n
It i 8 by no means prudent to attrib
ute to the will nor power of God the
losg of a human life which was sac
rificed upon the altar of preventable
diseases,
If certain of the maladies to which
man falls a victim are preventable,
then when death claims one of us as
a result of such diseases, it is not at
the behest of a loving Heavenly Fath
er; but it is clearly the result of igno
rance or wilful negligence of some cne
or more of the children of men.
If none of these conditions are pre
ventable millions of dollars are wasted
in an effort to combat them, the fig
ures of our Vital Statisticians are
false, sclence is a farce and General
Gorgas and Moses were imposters.
The work in conserving health and
human life is, scientific economy, mo
rality and religion.
ON GUARD.
Thousands of pages were printed
during the war on “keeping fil" and
appeals were made to women to stand
“on guard.” The country was made
aware for the first time of our soclal
delinquents, and was amazed at the
depredations of the social evil.
Four years of peace has woven a
web of forgetfulness around us and
we are in great danger of thinking
again {n pre-war terms and turn with
gcorn from those who try to convince
us that the world has moral and phy
sical wounds that mean more to our
future than industrial controversies.
The QGolden Rule is 'accepted as a
beautiful proverbial injunction, but
not at all applicable to modern busi
ness conditions.
Two thousand years ago a Man
from Nazareth walked through fields,
streets, and into places and hovels.
Jeaving behind him a remedy for every
il and a solution for every great prob
fem in the healing influence of His
golden rule. Business and wealth
now have a great opportunity in meet
ing the demand to stand “on guard,”
and In passing the Angel of the Lord
at the gate, may have their names
written down beside that of Abou Ben
Adhem.
The old lie of the necessity of a
double standard of morals is begin
ning to appear again. It once com
pelled us to stand “on guard" against
the social evil and sent a half million
men into the discard in time of war.
Let us not delude ourselves with well
being. Another crisis is just around
the corner.
Fourfifths of human suffering is
due to ignorance. Medical men of
breadth and vision could corect most
all of this. It is a fertile field for
the medical missionary.
The public have come to realize the
truth of the statement “that commun
ity health and individual heaith are
purchasable commodities, and that the
comumunity can have just as much or
just as little health as it is willing
to pay for.”
Small - pox {8 much more prevalent
than is generally supposed. Many
cases go unattended and from them is
liable to develop severe types. We
have a remedy against small-pox and
everyone should take advantage of
vaccination.

Replies to Attack
Made on Good
Roads Bond
Issue
Declaring that the statement given to
he press a few days ago by Hon. J. M.
Ycomans, of Dawson, attacking the pro
posed hond issue for good roads, con
raing glaring misstatements of facts, T.
G. Farmer, Jr., managing director of
he CGeorgia Good Roads Association,
ias issued a statement in which he
hows how My, Yeomans' article “jug-
Jdes” facts and figures in order to find
flaw in the plan for issuing bonds to
build good roads.
Mr. Farmer takes the Yeoman: er
ticle paragraph by paragraph and shows
that when the facts in the matter are
ruly stated there can be no grounds for
ypposing the bond issue for good roads.
Quotation is made from the proposed
;onstitutional amendment, showing how
he issue of bonds cach year will be
imited to the income available for re
iring them, and that no more bhonds
:an be issued under the law than the
wtomobile tag tax and gasoline fecs
vill retire,
Mr. Farmer explains how every pre
aution is taken to see that the bonds
ire floated without increasing taxation,
'nd points out that since fully 65 per
ent of the automobile license fees and
asoline tax will be paid by cities where
w 0 roads will be built, the question re
olves itself into the city building roads
or the country, which Mr. Farmer
tates they will do gladly, if the bond
ssue is voted.
The present svstem of state highways
3 so charted that 82 per cent of the
opulation of the state will be within
wve miles of a state highway, according
» the statement, and Mr. Farmer states
e bond plan will enable counties tc
wuild intersecting roads to these high
vays ond reach most of our people with
rocd roads.
The only way the bond issue can be
iefeated is by misunderstanding it, ac.
ciding to Mr. Farmer. “The truth
beut the bond plan wins it advocates
lierever it is presented, and we expect
o try to see that every voter knows the
ruth about it before the legislature
wcets in June,” he states.

GECRGIA’S RECORDS RECOGNIZED
The Deaths For Georgia Reach Neces
sary Percentage.
A telegram from Hon. W. M. Stew
art, Director Federal Census, announ
ces that Georgia has been admitted
to the registration area for deaths.
This is based on the five weeks’ exam
ination by the special agents of the
Census Bureau.
The law was passed in 1914. No
appropriation for the maintenance of
the State Bureau was made until 1919.
In January of that year, with the ex
ception of certain large cities, not a
blank was in the hands of the regis
trars or those who needed them, so in
reality Georgia was admitted two and
a half years after the work began.
Some of the counties made a very
poor showing, other counties lifted the
average up to the standard.
The State Bureau of Vital Statistiies
received over 72,000 birth records for
1921, and before long an examination
of the birth records will be made, so
let us make every effort to secure the
complete record of every birth and
death during the present year. It is
up to the Solicitor General and Grand
Juries to attend to those who did not
obey the law last year. When such
records are complete Georgia will
stand with the progressive stafes in;
the matter of birth registration as
well as death. Each citizen should
give aid and encouragement ‘to the
local registrar,
SLEEP REQUIREMENTS OF
: CHILDREN. |
No child nutrition worker, says the
U. S. Public-Health Service, can hope
to get satisfactory results without in-l
sisting on enough sleep for her
charges. Besides damaging the ner
vous system, late hours cause “sleep
hunger” and make children nervous
~and fidgety. The Service commends
the following precepts just issued by
the London County Council: School
children aged four years need twelve
hours sleep a day; aged five to seven,
11 to 12 hours; eight to eleven, 10 to
11 hours; and twelve to fourteen, 9 to
10 hours. Children grow mainly while
sleeping or resting. Do you want
yours to grow up stunted? Tired
children learn badly and often drift
to the bottom of the class. Do you
want yours to grow up stupid? When
children go to bed late their sleep is
often disturbed by dreams and they
do not get complete rest. Do you
want yours to sleep badly and become
nervous? Sufficient sleep draws a
child onward and upward in school
and in home life; insufficient sleep
drags it backward and downward;
which way do you want your child to
go? Tiresome children are often only
tired children; test the truth of this.
That a neighbor’s child is sent t 6 bed
late is not a good reason for sending
your child to bed late; two wrongs
do not make a right. Going to bed
late is a bad habit, which may be dif
ficult to cure; persevere till you suc
ceed in curing it
