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 )'u corral the voters, they are in carring debts the payment of which ;\n!‘.'& some day be demanded, not always in a way caleulated to pro= niote gl)')«l government, Itisa fine thing when publi spivited eitizens will get out and work for a good candidate without hope of personal reward.

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.

Beautifnl Spring line, i INTERNATIONAL STOCKING MILLS, ; Norristown, Pa, 7-27 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.

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.

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.
