M’CORMICK Gives Most Interesting Summary of This Work, and Urges Whole-Hearted Support on Part of Every Citizen. Editor Tribune-News: Some time ago, we wrote a little ar ticle on the enforcement of the Ellis Health law. But, we found, on exami nation of this law, that much about It bad not been told. So we come again. This law is intended to benefit the peo ple by helping them to keep well. Con sequently, there had to be set up some kind of machinery to carry out the in tentions of the law. Civilised and en lightened people all known that much can be done in improving health by proper sanitary methods. And this is all that the Ellis Health law is intended to do. This, and no more. We know it is held by some that this law creates a kind of overlordship ever the people—the citizen. Such is not tbe case at all. If the law is ex amined, without prejudice, you will find that there is nothing in the law to in fringe on the personal liberty of anyone. However, all will admit the fact that when epidemic diseases invade the county or -community, something must or ought to be done to stop the inva sion. This is the first duty of a county health department. We never had such a department until we got the Ellis Health law. Health departments exist all over the land, in many communities, all born of need for better health conditions. If our people desire better health condi tions, they must have some means to attain that desire. And, just now they have the means in the, Ellis Health law. We know that there is quite a lot of opposition to this law. This opposition is born of ignorance of the law, or want of just plain common sense. No well wishing man would oppose this law, unless he is governed by one or both of these factors. The Ellis Health law- sets up a de partment of health in this county, as in other counties. The duties of this de THERE ARE MANY REASONS % Why you should save part of your earnings and the best reason is that you owe it to your self to do so. ■ ■ ■ k Our Savings Department affords you a safe and convenient place to deposit your Savings and we pay— m /J. q Interest Compounded Semi-annually Interest Days June 30th and December 31st.

FRANKLIN Assistant Cashier partment'are well defined. Moreover, these duties are strictly limited, so that no one shall be restrained but for the good of all- We ask all citizens to read this law. because we believe that read ing will stop opposition to it It is con ceded that the good this law will bring to our people depends on the whole hearted way the people co-operate with our health department. If all the people help, good results are sure to come; if the people do not co-operate generally, we need not expect much good for a while. All must be brought to know that this law Is a good thing to them — and worth the price paid for it. The basic principle laid down In the Bills Health law Is the prevention of disease. Knowing what can be done to prevent disease, can anyone dobut the good ef fect that is sure to come to our people when this law is allowed to function, as ’lt can by an efficient health depart ment? The list of preventable diseases is quite a long one. Amongst these are typhoid fever, typhus fever, malarial fever, chicken-pox. smallpox, kine-pox, mumps, measles, whooping cough, diph. theria, diarrhoea, dysentery and the so called social diseases. With these diseases the health de partment will have Its big task to per form Besides these diseases referred to above, there are many—yes, very many other ailments of our people Qiat our health department can give sub stantial aid to prevent. All the activi ties of the health department are set out in the law; and its scope is well nigh unlimited for our people’s good- All that has been said above may have been said before by some other person, but, we submit, it cannot be said too often, in view of the importance of the subject. Now, what of the personnel of our health department? According to the law, In such cases made and provided, we have the County Board of Health, BANK Of CARTERSVILLf MEMBER FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM Cartersville, Ga. THE T*Ul-NavgTIJ*TOIISVB£E, OA„ MARCH 80, 1822. consisting of the chairman of the Coun ty Board of Roads and Revenues; the County Superintendent of Schools, and one reputable physician. These three are strictly the County Board of Health. To them is committed the, great, re sponsible duty of looking after the health of our people. This board car ries the name of Hon. H. C. Stiles, Pro fessor G. W. Jackson, county superin tendent of schools, and Dr. Samuel Howell. Knowing these men as we do, we cannot doubt the people will receive all the good that the Ellis Health law will bring to them by its proper en forcement, wisely administered by this able Board of Health. Their names are a sufficient guarantee to all friends of the law that its friends reasonably ex pect the work in the hands of these men will be successfully carried out to the benefit of all who may need it. To complete the Health Department of our county and its personnel, we must add the Health Commissioner (doctor), also provided for in the Ellis Health law. This Health Cominissloner is Howard E Felton, M. D. Dr. Felton is to the Health Board what our high sheriff is to the superior court of our county. H* is the executive officer of the Health Board. He gets all of his authority from that board. Dr. Felton's duties are to do what the Health Board tells him to do; but the Health Board has no authority to tell him to do any thing outside this law. The things that the Health Board can ask Dr. Felton to do, are specifically set forth in the law, so no citizen need have any fear of his personal liberty's curtailment. • Some more about the Health Com missioner, his ability, his qualifications, fitness for the work he is expected to do for his people. First of all, he is one of us. Born and reared, so to speak, in Bartow he naturally would love to bring benefit to those amongst whom he has spent all his life. That s the first of his guarantees. The second guar antee, touching his ability, is the Cer tificate issued to him by the State Board of Health. Anyone knows that the State Board of Health never issues these certificates to a doctor who is in capable. The examination is most rig orous. The doctor examined is not knlown by, name to the board. He is known as No. 10, 12. 19 and son on. Here is a precaution that cuts out par tiality altogether. The third guarantee is that Dr. Felton must not hold any other job—all of his time must be given DIRECTORS P. C. KLEMISTER J. J. HILL R. B. HARRI3 H. W. LEAKE f. w. Knight J. M. SMITH H. C. NELSON J. W. VAUGHAN wiii Saiierneld Now !n Baltimore Hospital Friends in Cartersville will be glad to learn that latest news from Mr W. C. Satterfield waa to the effect be is showing some improvement, as a re sult of treatment he is receiving on his throat at the Howard Kelly hos pital, in Baltimore. Accompanied by Mrs. Satterfield, he left home several days ago to take the radium treatment, this having been recommended to him by noted throat specialists of Atlanta and elsewhere. Everybody hopes Mr. Satterfield will be benefited by his stay in Baltimore, and that he may return home shortly, with his voice restored, and his health Improved. He has been a sufferer for the past two years and during that time has been under treatment of some of the most noted specialists in the country, including the famous Mayo Brothers, at Rochester, Minn. The oodnltion of Mr. Satterfield’s throat made it necessary that he go to a hospital having a large quantity of radium. The Howard Kelly hospital maintains SIOO,OOO worth, and it is from this store of radium the Carters ville man is being treated. Methodists Plan Boost For Funds In Centenary Drive Nashville, Tenn., March 23.—<(Spe cial.) —A simultaneous effort through, out Southern Methodis - territory, on March 26, to be known as "World Sun day," will, it is said, call the attention of delinquent subscribers to the Cen tenary of Missions movement of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, to a shortage in collections on behalf of that movement. It is expected that on "World Sun day" pastors of the 18,000 church con gregations in Southern Methodism will revive the Centenary theme and por tray the disastrous results to the big missionary program launched three years ago, if the deficit is not good. Cash payments on overdue Cen tenary subscriptions will be solicited on "World Sunday," and during the fol lowing week a church-wide canvass will be made to secure the payment of arrearages. The original drive for the Centenary fund taken three years ago was for $36,000,000, to be paid through a period of five years. It is announced that only 40 per cent of the amount due has been paid to date, whereas 60 per cent is now due. It Is to meet this shortage that Methodists throughout the South are seeking to arouse the mind of the church along Centenary lines. to the health work. He’s a citizen of ample means, outside of his profession, so he can perform this health work without embarrassment to his private affairs. The fourth guarantee is his honorable character as a physician. All of his fellow physicians accord to him high rank as a scientific and skilled practitioner in his chosen profession. Dr. Felton would only ask that the people give hearty support in the dis charge of his duties; aid him in every way. And he will make good. Not so long ago. whooping cough ap peared in several sections of the coun ty. And all the country-side ohildren were whooping Some very young babes succumbed to its fatal effects. Their little mounds in the cemeteries tell the sad tale of the need of some to stop the spread of that disease. Had the health officer been on his work, perhllps only one little mound would be there, but, alas, there are more, because there was no one in authority- to order proper iso lation. Another section of the county had an epidemic of measles. Quite a number succumbed. Their graves tell the sad story of the want of isolation. Had the Health Department been functioning the sad tale would not be told. Very recently an epidemic of diphthe ria crept into a certain school. Many children were afflicted. And a great many families had the sad and heart rending task of fighting this terribly fatal disease. Some died. Their little mounds in the cemetery tell us in graphic language what isolation means. Instead of one little grave, there are more. This, perhaps, would have never happened if proper attention had been given by someone who had the power to enforce such isolation as the occasion demanded. And so on, for all preyentable dis eases. The proper functions for the Health Hoard is to prevent the spread of infectious ant! contagious diseases. To these might be added all defects in dicated by abnormatancy in any form- The chance to cure abnormatancy is found in the young child. Hence the health officer goes to the school ..chil dren. Hut there are a lot of children not yet old enough to go to school. These, too. are entitled to the aid of the health officer. Parents and guard ians, under the health law p will and do have the right to seek the aid and ad vice of the health officer on al] proper occasions Bartow county has a pop ulation of 30,000 or more. Yet, under the Ellis Health law, it is believed that this law’s helping hadn can be extended to any or all of this 30,000. Because, when one man cannot do what is need ed in emergency, the law allows any ’ number of deputies to help him. There is one criticism of the law we want to answer. It has been asserted that the provisions of the law allowed the Health Board to establish hospitals, and ever so much of other things. There is no such power given to the Health Board- They can hire nurses on occasions of great necessity, but nothing more. Now, what is our duty to the Health Board? It is this: Give it all the chance you can to make good. Much of the work done just now is to teach the people how to get the advantages com-, ing to them through the Health Board. There is a class who don't read. These must be reached, plans to reach all the needy sick must be worked out. The members of our Health Board are busi ness men. we believe they will do their duty well. Let's take a try at this job. If we succeed, well. If we fail, try again. Others do this health Job. Why can't we? H. J. M’COF.MICK.

It is said that large num bers of unemployed men have respond ed, paying the required registration fee and receiving nothing in return.

The Civil Service Commission states that further operations at Muscle Shoals depend upon the action of Con gress, and that no one can say at this time whether the government will re sume the work, or whether it will be conducted under private ownership or contract- In any event, the Commission said, there is no justification for adver tising for labor to be employed at the project. If the government undertakes to complete the work, such labor as may be necessary will be secured in the usual way through Government agencies. It is said, furthermore, that it is certain that no private concern is taking steps tp secure labor tor Mus cle Shoals in the present uncertainty.

FOSTER’S SANITARY KMT QUALITVJIEATS We Deliver VRO&fPTLY Centenary Campaign Items of Interest To Methodists Southern Methodists in this section who are directly concerned in the Cen tenary of Missions movement and the Christian education campaign, the two forward movements of (that church inaugurated by the general conference of 1918, will be Interested to know that leaders in the two causes have completed plans which will . prevent any conflict In pushing the wind up of these enterprises during the clos ing months of "the 1918-22 Squadren nium. By an agreement of leaders in con ference at Nashville, Tennessee, it was made clear that there was no con flict in th e mind of the church in re gard to these two undertakings, since the Centenary forces will only seek the collection of arrearges on pledges al ready made and no drive will be made for new subscriptions. In accordance with this plan, a collection movement will be Inaugurated on March 26, which has been designated as "World Sunday” and will terminate on April Ist. The Christian education campaign it is said will continue to occupy the flel< and canvass the church for fur ther funds until May Ist, The total askings for the Christian education movement are $33,006,000. an additional $10,000,000 having been added by local conference divisions to the original $23, 000,006 set by the general conference. Of this amount more than has been pledged which Is considerable remarkable achievement In view of the depressed financial condition of the country at the time the drive for funds was made. It Is believed that the full amount sought will be pledged before the end of the period allowed for a church-wide canvass. i Secretaries, directly interested in the success of both movements, who draft ed the agreement controlling the wind up campaigns are: Drs.
