A man who had wheedled a dealer
out of a ton of coal for the long arctic
spring went away grinning, hut came
back the next day looking glum.
“What’s the matter, now?” asked the
dealer. "Didn’t you get the coal?"
“I got the coal, but now I want a
book of Instructions on how to burn
It.” —Louisville Courier-Journal.

PUBLIC HEALTH WORK
HAS MANY ANGLES
There are many angles to public
health work or prevention of disease.
So many do not seem to appeal to the
public; one does not seem to care
what happens to him neighbor from hla
neglect. Indifference to the well-known
laws of sanitation on your part often
makes your friend, neighbor or asso
ciate sick. Then he suffers, loses time,
transmits the disease, has doctors and
drug bills to pay, nurses and hospital
’hills possibly, and. sometimes a fune
ral, —all these and other angles have
little effect on the vast majority of
people; they do not see through public
health spectacles. But, when you pre
sent to some of our people a dollars and
cents proposition they are ready to
listen.
Then from this angle only we call
your attention to one department of tho
State Board of Health’s annual report.
They made for thq physicians of our
State last year 14,804 Wasserman
blood tosts for Syphilis. The usual
laboratory charge Is $5.00 each, or $74.-
020. They furnished for charity cases
$18,218 doses of ”606,” the remedy for
this disease, which figured at $1.50
per 4°se, gives us $27,327, or a total
valuation of these two items alone of
$101,347. The appropriation made by
out* Legislature for this work is $lO,-
000 for all Its activities, the two above
mentioned being only a part If we
are looking for profit-bearing invest
ments, what about $91,347 net on a
SIO,OOO Investment"
MAD DOGS.
The question of -abies in our State
is a most serious and important one.
The annual report of our State Board
of Health tells us. that they prepared
and sent out 2,476 treatments for hu
man beings in the good year 1922. This
is about double the number in 1919,
and means that 2,476 people had to
visit the physician 21 times and be
punctured with a needle 51,996 times;
It means that they had to lose time
and pay the doctor. Why? All be
cause of some, no-account dog having
bitten them. Dqgs, in our opinion, are
not worth their feed, and we would not
have our loved ones bitten by one for
•very dog in Georgia.
The treatment is about as near a
specific as possible, but every once la
• while some one dies the awful death
of rabies; there Is B death more dis
tressing.
Something ought to be done about 1L
Muzzling dogs Is effective if the mus
zle is kept on and in good shape; the
trouble is that it never Is. All dogs
should be taxed so much per head
and the tax money given our State
Board of Health to make and distribute
this remedy, so that all dogs could be
immunized by giving them the treat
ment as a preventive; this is expensive,
but a valuable dog should be protected,
as well as our people. This treatment
is prepared by the State Board of
Health, and Is very effective; in fact,
if all dogs were vaccinated, there would
be no rabies. The effects of this vac
cination laet foil a year or longer.
EVERY COUNTY HEALTHY.
We wish we could lend our public
health spectacles to our General As
sembly. Through them, with our
knowledge of the possibilities of a full
time health officer in the 160 counties
of our State, we can visualize a State
that far outstrips all other States, prac
tically free from infectious and con.
tagicms diseases, sanitary food, good
drinking water, ten years added to hu
man life, the people able to do a full
day’s work, the homes free of mos
quitoes and flies, the schools sanitary,
the children 90% perfect, the grounds
nicely kept, the children normal and
happy, every farm cultivated by healthy j
and robust people. In consequence of ;
all this, a desirable place to live, a
home-seeker waiting to grab -every of
fering, property advancing, prosperity,
health, happiness and consequently con
tentment. fThe Great Giver of Nature
has abundantly blessed Georgia with!
climate and soil, but His creatures are
not making the most of it.
Why cannot Georgia set the example
to the nation and have every county
a perfect health unit? It can be done
and at so small a cost that you would
not know it.
LIFE EXTENSION
Deaths from automobile accidents,
organic heart ailments, cerebral hemor
rhage and Bright’s Disease have in
creased the past year over the year
before. Heart disease led in cause of
death given to insurance companies,
180,000 deaths from this cause being
given for the United States and Can
ada. This number could be greatly
reduced by a properly organized and
functioning Life Extension Service con
nected with our State Board of Health.
If our law-makers would give thi
question serious thought and study be
fore our Legislature meets, we believe
they would establish this bureau. Save
and prolong lives, is our motto.
It is the opinion of Dr. Abercrombie,
State Commissioner of Health, that the
educational end of the venereal disease
control work is worth more than all
else put together. If ignorance on the
part of our people could be eradicated,
we would have fe r cases to treat,
fewer commitments to our Asylum and
admissions to our Blind Academy.

VtjrjrA Whether you buy newspapers
and sell them to passersby, or
own big mills and dispose of
|jgra • ■ their products, you know that
Vil """ honesty pays; that no sale is a
/ good sale unless both sides
profit, and that he profits most who serves best.

These axioms have grown out of the experience of
hosts of merchants in every town.
The church is the institution in this town—in every
town —which teaches honesty and truth and mercy.
Without the church business would revert to the selfish,
sharp barter of ancient days.
