A STRAIGHT SPINE FOR A
SMOOTH VOYAGE
When the human spine gets out
of line it causes pressure on one of
the great nerve trunks that sup
plies the body with vital energy
and that part effected soon be
comes abnormal from the starva-
Ition it suffers by the reduction or
stoppage of the vital force from
% the brain.
lAjs long as the spine is in line
the body is able to take care of
|ts own troubles and this is exactly
arhat it does do after the Chiro
praetor removes the pressure by
an adjustment.
A straight spine is the secret of
a smooth voya-re through life. Iry

WEAK, RUN-DOWN
WOMEN
To Take Cardui
"I have known of Cardui for ,
nearly twenty-five years,” Bays Mrs.
Selma Meissner, 1072 Harrieon Ave.,
Beaumont, Texas. "During that
time, I have taken it several times
and have frequently recommended
it to others, for it ia a splendid
medicine and I am glad to give peo
ple the benefit of my experience.
"I have been a nurse for several
years and have often come in con
tact with patients who were run
down and weak. Often I have told
sufferers of Cardui, and the way I,
myself had been helped after tak
ing it, and advised them to give it
a tried. Many of them have since
thanked me for what I told them,
so I am willing that other women
should know about it, too.
"I first took Cardui because I was
awfully run-down. I bad no appe
tite, and was weak and listless. It
was hard to keep going under such
conditions, and I looked for some
thing which would help me.
"I had read of Cardui and decided
to try it After taking it I improv
ed so much that I have taken k
since whenever I needed a tonic.”

| WATER LABORATORY
| SERVICE RENDERED
BY BOARDOF HEALTH
Regardless of where we live, we
need daily the life-giving qualities of
clear, pure water. The amount of
drinking water required by the aver
age healthy man is about five pints
daily. A person can live very much
longer without food than without wa
ter; consequently, we must have water
frequently in both quantity and qual
ity. One of the prime functions of
the State Board of Health is to see
that the people of the state are pro
vided with pure drinking water. Un
fortunately, with limited laboratory
personnel, the service rendered must
necessarily be limited, but let us be
optimistic of the future.
On July 1, 1925, the urban population
of the State of Georgia was estimated
to be 608,900 and the rural population
2,493,100. The total of 608,900 people
living in municipalities is served by
approximately 250 public water sup
plies, or an average of 2,435 people
to a public water supply. The total
of 2,493,100 living in homes with pri
vate water supplies, based on an av
erage of five people to a home, are
necessarily served by 498,620 private
water supplies.
Considering the above facts, the wa
ter laboratory in order to render
service to the 608,900 people in munic
ipalities would have to make approx
imately 250 water examinations, which
is almost the actui 1 number per
month; but in order to rende• service
to the 2,493,'00 people with private
supplies it would necessitate 498,620
examinations per year to examine each
private supply once a year, or a i aver
age of 41,551 examinations a month
Actually only about 41 private exami
! nations are made per month, or much
les3 than one per cent of the total.
Stated otherwise, nearly 608,900 people
in municipalities have the service
monthly while only approximately
205 people served by private supplies
have the same service, and approxi
; mately 2,492.895 deprived of the ser
vice, yet the laboratory with inade
quate personnel is working to capac
ity.
j Os course attention is called to the
fact that in rendering this service, es
pecially with limited personnel, it is
more practical to make single exami
nations each serving 2,435 people than
single examinations tacit serving five
people. Furthermore, cost,
generally speaking, of furnishing nd
maintaining pure water suppl. is
less for supplies serving an average of
2,435 psople than for supplies serving
an average of five people. However,
the fact remains that the laboratory
personnel is so limited that service
cannot be extended as it should be
to the rural population.
The State Board of Health advises
that this service to whomever ren
dered is absolutely free, but the de
mand on the laboratory is increasing
to such a rapid extent that if the Leg
islature does not make sufficient ap
propriatlon to the State Boar<. of
Health it will be necessar: to charge
for the examinations to derive some
revenue to meet the growing demand.
What Will You Give?
It has been said: “All that a man
hath will he give tor his life.” Judg
ing by the appropriation made in the
past* to the State Board of Health he
must have a very small amount iD
Georgia, yet we must all acknowledge
that this meager sum has accomplish
ed wonders.
We spe-id S3O 09 per capita for
highways, $lO 62 for education, $3.66
for po’’je protection, $2.57 for fire
prevention, $2.08 for charities and
hospitals. 99 cent? for amuusements
$21.00 for tobacco, SIOO for medical
service, $3.00 for patent medicines
$1.25 foi cosmetics, 50 cents for chew-,
ing gum a v '. 3 cents for public h altli
