PURPOSES OF THE YOUNG
CROWD
Some people entertain pessimistic
views about the moral character
and purposes of the pregent generas
tion of young people. Yet these
game young folks are havieg fa
better advantages than the previous
generation had. Many of them are
getting the higher education, and
coming in contact with teachers and
leaders of wisdom and idealism.
A vast body of them belong to «r
ganizations like the Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Y. M. C. A, and Y.\V.
C.A. and learn all sorts of good les
gons and are constantiy stimulated
with fine ideas. It would secm as
if a multitude of these young peo
ple, instead of degenerating, ought
to have much better conceptions of
life, as the result of these inspiring
experiences, than their fathers and
mothers had at the same age.
On the other hand, a large body
of young people show the ill efleet
of other influences. lLax family
discipline is one condition that is
allowing many of them to come up
wrong. Formerly parents retained
better control over their clildren
than is maintained by the average
family at this time.
A ot of young people are allowed
to run loose attain early age, and
they get into wild habits of conduet,
especially with references to rela
tions between the sexes.
But for these conditions parents arve
10 times as responsible as the child
ren are. When fathers and mothers
awake to their responsibilities and
exercise the functions of parenthood
many unfortunate tendencies will
disappear. ‘
The yot'ng people of today are
doing more active work than cvv:-‘
before. Where the fathers and
mothers used to loaf away their
time idly in vacations, there is a
general tendency to work now,
Active task keep many from getting
"into mischief. Altogether it would
seem strange if the young folks of
today would not come out quite as
_well as those of the generation be
fore. ‘
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNING
One of the great evils of old fash
joned politics, has been the system
of obligation under which candi
dates were forced to look for assist
ance to political workers and heel
ers who should canvas around
among the people, and who expect
ed appointment to some lucrative
office as a reward for their efforts,
There has commonly been felt that
to be some justice in their claims,
If a man hes done energetic \*.-l’fxl
for a party or candidete for a g.od
many years, manp people have fell
that hie establishes a kind of cluim
to be congidered when the jobs are
heing given out, !
Yet too frequently the men \'.hn}
have conferred this obligation lm\l';
had no special gualifieation for thel
jub, and will dot render eflicient
service if they get some public
office. The great number ol mer
who get such appointients as the
result of political services rather
thian as a result of their quahfica
tiong, constitute one big reason why ‘
i 1 costs €0 mneh money to run the|
elderal and =tate governments, ‘
% 'he more candidates for oflice
can avoid pledging themselyes b
helo such workers get oftice, the
hetter governnient we shall get, I
vould promote the public geod b
fu ure, if eandidates conld depend
more upon campadguing through
he newspapers, tpon the addressc
- hiey make at public mectings, and
| ipon the Niiend they win as the
| cesudt of frank per onal statements
o their ideas and purpoces, When
hey «'..lal].;('i;'|| i this way, !!;f'_\'
ome under obligation to no one,
But when they have to depend
ipon the efforts of a lot of mercen
|y rooters who are ehasing around

carring debts the payment of which
;\n!‘.'& some day be demanded, not
always in a way caleulated to pro=

Itisa fine thing when publi
spivited eitizens will get out and

AN A LYQ
SOME FACTS
ABOUT THE ELLIS
|
\
HEALTH LAW
AND THE NEED OF COUNTY
| HEALTH WORK.
' 1. The adoption of the Ellis Health
Law in our county means the employ
~ment of a specially trained medical
health officer who devotes his entire
time to the business of looking after
~health and sanitation. The law also pro- /
~vides for the employment of public
“health nurses and sanitary inspectors as
assistants to the health-officer, where
desired. The nurses assist with the
school medical inspection, help to ar
range for the correction of defects, and,
with the health officer, reach mothers
and infants, especially among the
poorer classes, through the medium of
child health centers, mothers’ classes
and home vigsits.
2. About 50,0000 school childrep re
ceive medical inspection each year
through the operation of this law. About
6,000 with handicapping defects receive
corrective treatment.
‘ 3. The commissioners of health, op
{ crating under the Ellis Health Law,
l gave free of charge 77,000 doses of antl
| typhoid vaccine in 1922.
' 4. In 1921 and 1922, 8,600 sanitary
privies were installed by the commis
sioners of health. Dysentery. hook:
worm and summer diarrhoea of intante
will not be controlled by any other
method in the rural districts.
5. There is annually in Georgia a
great sacrifice of human life on the
altar of indifference. During 1922, 716
deaths were caused by typhoid tever,
411 by diphtheria and 584 by malaria.
In 1921, 1,230 infants under two years
of age died of dysentery and diarrhoea.
During their hours of heroic effort to.
establish new life in this world, more!
than 500 would-be mothers made the|
supreme sacrifice. ’
| 6. These and many other lives migmi
- have been saved if well organizedl
health departments, well manned by a|
well equipped personnel, had been es- |
| tablished in each county of the state. '
e B GORT. - This [iK:lollars and centg|
is about one-tenth of the actual amounll
it saves the people. |
8 If our county will adopt the Ellts!
Health Law and put it into operation
- promptly, it is possible for the Statei
*‘Board of Health to give financial as
| sistance toward the maintenance of si
i])ublic health nurse, over a period 01l
two years., Visit the State Board o(i

Stagnant Water Should Be
Drained Away, or Else Uil
Placed Thereon to Prevent
Mosquitoes Hatching.
Dr. M. A. Fort, Director of Malaria
Control of the State Board of Health
gsays in an interview:
There 1s a rapidly growing sentk
ment for fighting mosquitoes in this
gtate, Most towns are beginning @
fight, Some of theme are doing good
work, others are doing only make
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
goon 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
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 their
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
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 for
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.
92 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
3. The remaining time, let this man
visit all homes, and help us find un
suspected breeding places and help us
to get rid of them. This man had
best be an intelligent white man. He
would need a few days’ instruction,
which might be secured” from the State
Board of Health or local Health Offi
cer.
With a plan like this, mosquitoes
and malaria would be greatly reduced
the first year.
I could name towns for you where
great factories have been located, land
values and population greatly increas
ed, and prosperity hastened by simply
making an active fight on the mos
quito.
“Go thou and do likewise.”
CLINIC-INSTITUTE
FOR PHYSICIANS
Ilmory 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 “Institute-Clinic Week.” The Col
lege in conjunction with the State
Board of Health has arranged a week
of intensive post-graduate work for the
physicians of Georgia and the South
east. Lectures are given, about four
cach-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 be lectures and clinies
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
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 get
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 for
the doctors of our State amd 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, lasting for two
days, at the office of the State Board
of Health, 131 Capitol Square, Atlanta,
Ga., June 7th and Bth. This two-day
conference will be a get-together meet
ing to devise and plan for the preven
tion of disease, especially those dis
eases of the summer and fall. Every
one interested in public health is most
cordially invited. 1

SULPH
SIMPLIFIED REMEDY
FOR SYPHILIS.
Any Physician Can Use It.
Syphilis, the greatest killing disease,
and one of the most prevalent of all
the infectious and communicable dis
eases, has in the past been looked
upon as incurable; or at least three
vears has been the accepted time nec:
essary for treatment. The discovery
of 606 some years ago has changed
this picture, and now comes the an
nouncement of Prof. Carl Voegtlin, of
the U, S. Hygiene Laboratory, Wash:
ington, giving us an improved 606 thai
so simplifies the treatment that il
amounts almost to a revolution.
The old 606 had to be given iln a
vein in a large quantity of water
The method of preparing and admin
istering it was complex, and an ex
pert, a specialist, was a necessity. The
new remedy is given with a hypodermic
syringe, under the skin, in only a few
drops of water. It has passed the
laboratory stage, and is now on trial
for its practical use.
The physician can obtain the new
drug from the different manufacturers
of Arsphenamine. The State Board
of Health can furnish literature to the
physician about it.
