“THAT COTTON MILL STORE”
WHY DOES GEORGIA NEED
- A LARGER SANATORIUM?
LACK OF ROOM CAUSE OF DELAY
IN ADMITTING OF
PATIENTS
State Of Georgia Loses $9,000,000 Ae
Result Of Death From
Tuberculosis
Because the present Sanatorium haa
only 100 beds.
There is at present a waiting list of
60 patients begging that they be admit
ted to treatment. There are seldom
less than 35 on this list.
During the past 18 months we have
averaged admission of 19 patients per
month. If we continue to be able to
do this, it will take over 3 months to
reach and admit to treatment the 60th
patient. These months of suffering to
the patient and heartaches for the fam
ily, not to mention the time lost in
curing the patient, and the advance of
the disease, many cases lose all chances
of cure in three months. The average
time between receipt of application and
admission of the patient during the past
year was 5 weeks.
Approximately 3,000 patients die ol
Tuberculosis in Georgia annually. For
every death, It is estimated that there
are 10 other persons 111 with Tubercu
losis.
Sociologists value human life at $3,-
000. If this figure is correct, Georgia
has a loss of $9,000,000 a year by reason
of deaths by Tuberculosis alone! The
loss from sickness from Tuberculosis
amounts to such a figure as to almost
stagger comprehension.
Georgia Is furnishing not a single bed
for the care of Tubercular Negroes, and
yet 45% of our population are Ne
groes, and Tuberculosis is two or three
times more frequent among the Ne
groes, who are brought in close contact
with the White race as cooks, and ser
vants, and what is more serious, as
nurse girls for our children, and thus
spreading the disease to the White race,
The larger-ilanatorium would make it
possible to take care of 100 Negroes and
300 White. $500,000 would build a
modern Sanatorium to accomplish this,
The number of patients rejected In
1921 was 56, some because they were
too far advanced to be benefited by
the Sanatorium as equipped at pres
ent; some were discouraged by the
length of the wait and went elsewhere
for treatment: some died while wait
ing to be admitted. A larger, more
modern Sanatorium would reduce the
number of rejected patients and deaths
There are no accommodations fox
the care of children, they cannot be
properly treated under the present
conditions. The new Sanatorium would
be built with this problem In mind, for
it Is In children that the disease la
found in Its earliest stages, and most
can be done for Tuberculosis, both as
a disease and as a problem in Public*
Health and Public Welfare.
DOCTOR DOES NOT SIGN
DEATH CERTIFICATE
We have been told that about 30%
of the death certificates filed with the
State Board of Health are signed by
others than physicians. Does this
mean that about one-third of our peo

cording to a report made public by the
Treasury department.
The report showed that for the cal
endar year 1921 only 21 persons ac
knowledged that they made

Museum Seeking Last
of Cigar Store Indians
New York.—John Cotton Dana, di
rector of the Newark museum, Is hav
ing some diffiaalty in finding one of
the ancient race of wooden Indians,
who up until ten years ago used to
stand at the door of almost every to
bacconist In the city, a tomahawk
raised in one hand, a bunch of cigars
clutched In the other.
James Campbell, who died on Feb.
12, 1928, was the man who carved
many of those figures. He cut most
•f them out with a hatchet. He never
explained why the big chief was al
ways represented In such a menacing
attitude. Perhaps he was after the
man who gave him the cigars, per
haps he was defending them.
There are five known cigar-store
Indians in New York city at the pres
ent time.
150 Burglaries a Day
Committed in Berlin
Berlin.—A meeting of criminal tech
nologists was held recently In the
Berlin city hall, at which Mr. Goll
ner, engineer-in-chief, spoke on mod
ern methods of protection against bur
glary. He drew a comparison !>etween
crime before and since the war. In
1900 there were on an average two
burglaries a day in Berlin, whereas
in 1922 not less thnn 150 a day were
recorded. The burglars go about each
day In gangs of from 20 to 10. A few
weeks ago in Lttehenhurg a gang of
00 had been established, and in Ham
burg a gang of 100. Berlin, with its
astounding number of hurglnrie| a
day, does not lead the crime list for
German cities. Munich and Dresden
are ahead of it.
Although Berlin’s force of criminal
police lias been greatly increased dur
ing the last 20 years from 480 men in
1900 to several thousand today, it is
not sufficient, even though working
in co-operation wi’h the protective or
ganizations of the imperial post and
imperial railway board.
In closing. Mr. Gollner said that the
public showed amazing confidence. In
spite of the appalling number of bur
glaries that are taking place every
day. The crafty methods of the bur
glars have baffled even the most ex
perienced detectives, and it has been
difficult to find effective methods of
defense. The electric system had
proved to he more successful than any
other. He urged that every resident
of a large city have some kind of ar
rangement in his house to defend him
self in some measure against these un
pleasant visitors.
