Plato’s Tribute to Music.
Plato wrote: Musie is a moral law.
It gives a soul to the whole universe,
wings to the mind, flight to the
tmaginatiom, a charm to gadness, a
galety and life to everything, It is the
essence of order and harmnony, and
Jeads to all that is good, just and
beautiful of which it is the invisible
but nevertheless the dgzzling, passion
ate and eternal form,

Many newspaper correspondents
in the farm distriets during recent
weeks have gpoken about the coundi
tion of the roads. ‘'Roads very
bad,”’ Roads in awful condition,”
have been common notes. The
problem of country roads is at its
worst in spring, and the hard travel
ling is one of the biggest problems
of rural life in America.
Not all the bad voads of Gemgia
can be rebuilt by public faxation.
The burden would be too greal.
There will be many of these sof
places every spring. Individu:l
country people will. have to {ake
hold moge and help out themselves,
If every man with a horse and cat
would fill up a few of the worst
gpots along his land, the aggregate
improvement would be tremendous.
LOWER PRICES
“Tam a Republican,”” said
well known bank man the other
day. ‘But President Harding
hasn’t ary more chance of being
elected next year than 1 have.”’
He went on to say that what the
country needed was to get the high
tariff act repealed, and he felt this
surely would be done if a Demo
crat administration comes in 1925,
Then, he said, the American manu
fscturer would get the competition
that they need, and the inflation in
prices that has occurred during re
cent months would disappear. The
freer use of imported articles would
keep the general price level reason
able.
The scale of prices has taken a
sharp advance during the past year.
While agricultural products needed
to sell for more to give the farmera
fair return, yet as a whole the ad
vance has been a big diage to the
country. The public will not be
able touse a normal quanity of
goods with the prices again goingup,
which must have a tendency to
create a lot of unemployment again.
A reasonable freedom of trade
with foreign countries act as a tre
mendous stabilizer of business, It
becomes impossible to jack up the
prices of goods, when the public
and the merchants know that they
can buy foreign stuff if the Ameri
aan article is held at unreasonable
figures. It does not do American
producers as a whole any harm, as
an increase of imports must be bal
anced by an increase of exports.
The more goods we buy from abroad,
the more foreigners will be able to
buy of us.
It may be claimed that prices are
still considerably under the 1920
level. Yet the wages of most peo
ple have been reduced, so that the
consumer as a whole is not much
Letter off. The present tariff pro
motes monopoly and high prices in
‘this country.
~ “LAND OF THE DOLLAR”
For mwany years it has been o
common joke that the Unite] States
is the land of the Alwmighly Dullar,
and that the priveipal Ged wors
}uhippod by America is. Money -
Since Burope has begn oo sickened
and impoverished by war, it is pers
hap< natural that those folks should
look across the water ut Lhis pro#
pm‘uus’lu%d with envy, and that
many foreigners think this country
sorLid and wiaterialistic.

All other knowledge is hurtful to
him who has not the science of

more toward reforming the public

gpreading the disease to the White race.
The larger Sanatorium would make it
possiile to take care of 100 Negroes and

modern Sanaterium to accomplizh this.

THE SOCIAL DISEASES—
L DES TROYE RS OF
PUBLIC HEALTH
Disraeli, one of the greatest of Eng
jand’s prime ministers, once said: “Pab
lic Health is the foundation upon whici
rests the happiness of the people and
the -welfare of the State.”
Nuations rise and fall, dependent to
a very large extent on the public-health
of the Stale. The great Roman Em
pire withstood all combined forces ar
vayed against it until undermined by
the gay, rictous and immoral living of
{ts own citizens,
Two of the greatest and most pow
ertul enemies of any nation are the
social diseases of syphilis and gonor
thoea, These diseases strike, not with
the initial force as some other dis
eases, such as typhoid and pneumonia,
but none the less sure as to the ulti
mate result on the health and life of
the individual.
They recognize no sccial status. In
the language of Horace, “They visit with
equal tread the palace of the rich and
the’ hut of the poor.”” They not oniy
affect the individual whom they at
tack, but bring untold suifering and
unhappiness. to his or her ofispring.
QGonorrhoea is responsible for a largs
percentage of biindness at birth. Syph
fiis is largely responsible for the de.
formity of c¢hildren. Truly the sins of
the father or mother are visited upor
generations yet unborn. G
At the entrance of the United States
irto the world war, we realized for the
first time the menace to our national
lite due to the prevalence of the so
cial. diseaseg in the manhood called to
arms. Our government at once saw thel
necessity of stamping out these “dis
eases, realizing that public health is
fundamental to all success. The pub
lic ‘health was in grave danger and,
without it as an asset, we could not
elliciently meet the severe physical and
wental requirements of the times,
In this wise %he national Govern
meont is ‘co-operating with the State
Buards of Health, which makes it pos:
sible for its citizens to obtain laboxa
tery examination for these diseaées-fre;é
of charge to the imdividual. For. fur
ther advice, consult with your family
pliysician, or write to the Georgia State
Loard of Heelth, Atlanta,~Georgia. -
