THE ELLIS HEALTH LAW
f *
1. Provides for a County Board of Health,
consisting of the Chairman of the Board of Coun
ty Commissioners, the County School Superintent
ent, and a local physician elected by the grand jury.
2- The law becomes operative only upon the
recommendation of two successive grand jui ies.
3. After the adoption of the law the County
Board of Health elects a full time Commissioner of
Health from a list of eligibles submitted by the
State Board of Health.
4. In the counties where the law is in operation
thousands of school children have been given expert
examinations and advice regarding theii health
and well being.
5. Hundreds of mothers have been given directj
lons regarding the care and feeding of their infants’
as well as instructions for their own physical wel
fare.
6. Epidemics of disease have been cut short or
avoided altogether.
7. Tens of thousands of dollars have been saved,
the tax payers of the state by preventing such ex
pensive diseases as typhoid fever, dysentery, hoqk
worm, malaria, etc. In one county typhoid fever
was reduced 63 per cent and dysentery 88 pei cent
the first year.
8. You are entitled to the protection of this
Jaw. Your child and that of your neighbor's should
receive consideration at the hands of an expert.
The Ellis Health Law saves more DOLLARS than 1
it costs. It’s the best in America: America is the ]
best on the face of the earth: Is the best too good <
for your baby, your neighbor’s baby or yourself? J
Toombs county ought to join the ranks of the
progressive counties of the State and adopt the
Ellis Health law. One grand jury has recommend
ed the adoption of this law and we hope the com:
ing jury will give serious thought to this important
matter The saving of a few lives a year, the pre
vention of a sing'e epidemic is worth many times
what a Health Commissioner would cost us.

THE DOCTORS THE WAY
The doctors of the three counties of Montgom
ery, Toombs and Treutlen, in their close-knit or
ganization are leading the way in the matter of
co-operation and unity of action that has a big
lesson to these three counties if we will hut profit
by it. They realize that the physicians of any one
of these counties are not strong enough numeri
cally for a county association, ;pvl so they have
combined, and arc building up a strong, active
organization and in this organization will have a
hospital, x-ray outfit, laboratory expert and mem
bers of the organization will specialize on different
subjects. Living in three smal’ counties of the
state, onr doctors are buuilding up an organization
which woulcldo credit to any large and populous
county in the state.
By uniting these three counties could under
take and accomplish many splendid plans which the
large counties of the state are handling. For one
thing, we might have a tri-county commercial as
sociation with a paid secretary and carry on suc
cessfully a campaign for addition farmers to culvi
atc the thousands of untitled acres in these coun
ties. We might organize the Red Cross home
service and employ a paid secretary- We could
organize the Boy Scout work and have a paid scout
executive to put energy and live and vitality in tins
great work.
Neighbors, with good reads connecting 'every
section of these three counties with other sections,
uniting for the common good and for upbuilding our
section, the good we coil'd accomplish in many
lines of effort beyond estimation
X
WHERE WE CAN LEARN FROM CALIFORNIA
There is one good old Souhern word that we
ought to bring back into more fiequent use—
plantation. Entwined and interwoven in the life
of the Old South, we ought to keep it alive.
We would like to see every southern farmer,
instead of speaking of his farm, speak of his planta
tion ; the farm of few acres is so big with possibi
lities these modern days, that wc see nothing
wrong or out of place in speaking of it as a plan
tation .
We have associated this word with broad acres.
So was the word ranch, yet the west and California
especially, was quick to catch the advertising fea
ture of this word, and the five-acre farmer in Cali
fornia speaks of his ranch; the poultry-fancier
speaks fondly of his chicken-ranch. Big and little
farmers all own ranches in the west.
So why should not the Southern farmers cap
italize this word. Eve on their plantations, farm their
plantatons, speak proudly of the plantations. The
man from the west or north who comes south and
buys a small farm will follow the example and al
lude to his plantataion and in a few years the sou
thern farm will he known by the generic term of
plantation, just as the farmers of the west have
capitalize the word ranch.
