THE NEWNAN HERALD. NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1921 advertising space. Byron (Cal.) Times. The Rod Bluff Dully News submits this statement: ••If you had newspaper space to sell, mul n pay-roll to meet,, would you sell vour space to business inon of other cities who want it, or would you hold it for local people who won’t take it and who sometimes declare advertising does not payf” The question is olio that concerns newspaper publishers everywhere. In iniiny places, notably small communities, the newspaper- lias a hard struggle for existence. It muy be a live sheet, well edited, but tho loon) morchnnt feds that ••everybody knows him” and it is not accessory to advertise: that he does about ‘‘the same amount of business anyway. ’ ’ He fails to appreciate what it means to his community to spread abroad tho news of its doings, of Its achievements usd advantages. In supporting the newspaper by ad vertising, tile merchant encourages new enterprises, and tho greator the publicity given the town and comity the more rapid their growth. The local newspaper is a chamber of commerce mid publicity burouu eombised. It should hnvo tile support of everyone, to the end that tho grentest amount of good may be accomplished. Thousands of dollurs’ worth of free advertising is given every year to the community by the local newspaper. Ev ery little thing is boosted,. mul people abroad begin to find out what a tine place your town -iis. Only in advertising can the local news paper find reward for its efforts. Tho subscriptions do not’ mono than pny for ihe cost of printing and delivering the paper. - - In supporting the paper by adverti sing, the , merchant is contributing not only to ;)l,ip.'flli ( ®ft'bdnelit, but to the fu ture of the ,community. , Naturally,' If there is liot sufficient in- colno from local sourcos to pay the bills piivl leave a fair mgfghi of ^profit;' there •rail be no question of tliq-justification of life newspaper in accepting advertising @pm abroad. £ VlTlte people of Byron, for instance, •Would not have tlie Byron Times for.i if- lather issue if it wero not ’ for outside Advertising. The fact that tills ..illver- •Tlsing space is in demand by .outsiders ps a tribute to the paper—to its infill- dice and -wide eivenlat'iqn. -,- ii The lied Bluff News wisely says that newspaper space is not fai:■•handpicked jaistoiiiers any more than is’tlie co\imiod- •ity of any other business; hud all'ljH'si- .liess sells its wares where it can find n customer. ’ ’ You can judge a man by the way lit handles a book agent. Maybe they are called ‘‘infant Indus tries” because they arc always squalling for protection. Tliore is sonielliing wrong with the hoy who hud rather be' President than •“ home-runner” in a bill game. YOU FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOUR SELF. A sate small representing a jobber in Western Missouri tells this one as a true story, which incident he declares occurred while lie was trying to buy a Hchet at a railway station, v ‘‘.Let me have Bleeping ueeuinmudn tlons on tile train to St. Louis,'' tho would-bo passenger told the man at the window. ‘ • For two passengers!'' asked the ticket agent. “No!” shot back the traveler, •‘I'm not, taking anybody with me. A single bunk will answer. Wlmt's the illftWeme!” quizzed the man, impatient ly- —•'Our prices in St. Louis are -Tti.US and j 1 4-.07. You understand, of course, ” explained the tlekot stamper, ‘ 1 the lower is higher than the upper. The higher price is for the lower berth. If you wind a lower you'll have to go higher. AVe sell tho upper lower than the lower. It didn’t use to bo so, but we found that everybody wanted the lower. In other words, tlie higher tho lower.” ‘•Why do they nil prefer the lower!'' broke in the traveler. On ncoouht of its convenience,'' flashed back the ticket agent. ‘ ‘ Most, persons didn’t liko tho upper, although it’s lower, on account of being higher, and because when you occupy mi upper you hnvo to get up to go to bed, and then get down when you got up. I would advise you to take tho lower, although its highor than tho upper, for the reason that I have stated. Tlie upper is lower than the lower because it is higher. A’uu can have the lower if you pny high or, but. if yon are willing to go higher it will be lower,” lie concluded. i o Some elocutionist lias made a collec tion of more than -00 "tongue-twis ters ; " ‘>A glowing gleam growing green. ‘ ‘ The bleak breeze blighted the bright, broom blossoms. ’ ’ "Flesh of frcshjy dried flying fish. ‘' Six‘thick; tljlstlc sticks. ’ ’ "Give (miilcs .Tim's groat, gilt gig whip.” v j- ' ‘ ‘ Strict, strong Stephen Stringer snared • sjifikly cfclx sickly silky snakes.

Askew & Co, The appropriation of the Stule Hoard of Health tor 1922 and 1923 was cut by the Legislature. This cut, with Che withdrawal of Coderul aid to venereal disease control work, gives the State Board of Health $24,159.00 less money than they are operating with this year, It Is bnrd to conceive how this work enu be curried on in tho same pro portion us at present; in tact, it can not be done. The Venereal Disease Control Division of tile Board hus been cut 60%; this means that this De partment cannot do much more than continue its free Wassormnn Depart ment and possibly furnish Keidel blood tubes to the physicians. This, ns we view it, is no less than a public ca lamity. The Slate Board of Health, eo far hb the central unit Is concerned, had tlielr appropriation cut $9,690. When you consider Hie growth of the population and the constantly Increas ing demands on the Laboratory, you will realize that this really moanB a decrease In the capacity of the work of the State Board of Health, of about 20%; in other words, It was estimated by Dr. Tlios. F. Abercrombie, the Sec retary and Commissioner of Health, that to keep pace with our Increase of population and consequent danger front Infections nnd communicable dis eases Incident to tho natural conges tion of peojf.e, he would hnvo to lmvo ten thousand dollars more money for 1922 and 1923 than for last year and this. This, It seems to the editor of this paper, was a very modest and rea sonable conclusion. The appeal of Dr. Abercrombie to the appropriation committee was for $100,960.00. This was made after very careful estimates had been made hav ing in view the finanelnl condition of the State nnd of the people who pay the tax, keeping constantly in mind tlie acttiul demands on him by the peo ple and the physicians of his State, with also the fact that the lowered re slstance of our people from the neces slty for economy that all must prac tice, the possibility of un Increase in' the communicable diseases and a pos sibility of pellagra increasing. We cun imagine bis grief and surprise when the committee recommended an ap propriation for the entire work of $67,■ 600.00; Lite appropriation for this year bad been $90,690.00. The friends of tlie people and those legislators who were interested in the prevention of disease, some of thorn being members of tlie appropriation committee from the floor of the House succeeded In getting this raised to $81,, 431.00. Many realized that this sum was entirely inadequate for tho work of the health department, and Interest ed themselves in having the Senate increase the amount at loast to the figure of this year, but history of all time was broken when the Senate; 'adopted the House Bill without the changing of a. word, tho dotting of an or the crossing of a t. AVe think, In justice to our State Board of Health, our people, and the physicians especialy, should know the facts, and If you are not able to get from this Board the co-operation that you think you should, you should re member that they are doing, tlie very best they can und wrestling with shortage of $24,159.00. - It is more than likely that the dis tribution of free Arsphenumlne wiJl have to be discontinued, and that tits funds will admit of very little dlphthe ria antitoxin being given the poor, This is no less than a public calamity as a few doses of 606 will control the spread of Syphilis and a few thousand units of antitoxin will save a life. Our State has many people in it who are not able to pay for these reme dies. The work of the Board will have to be curtailed in other respects as well. We are quite sure that it will function as host It can, and with the small appropriation at Its disposal will be the means of preventing much 111 ness and the curing of many who are sick through its diagnostic work at the Laboratory. PROHIBITION AND HUMAN NA TURE. Exchange. We don't want, to talk prohibition. There Isa't anything (o say ou the sub ject. nuywny. There is plenty "hooch” on the market, for those enjoying l’at purses and copper-lined digestive or gans, ntiil those equipped with neither of these ought, not to drink liquor, But we have a lot of fun out of pro hibition in this way, Wo ask our friends nnd aequo in lances if they believe In pro hibition. Many of them do, on tho lniHis that It Is ii good thing for the other fel low, or tho poor man. AVo hnvo yet tu find a man who feels and .believes that it was a necessary measure for his own particular welfare. Try this out yourself. II won’t bo so or.v amusing until sonio score or more hnvo made you the same answer, nnd then you will begin to wonder. Tlie trouble is, you wonder iff vain. You on't. know whether every prohibitionist in the world votes because lie thinks tho other fellow is weak. Nobody believes it vitally enacorns his own welfare. Or OU. will wonder whether nil men nro la rs. Tliore am a lot of things about human nature to puzzle over. For hist,unco, Caruso maintained that it was tho voice mtd not tho reputation of the singor that called forth the applnuso. So in u cer tain opera whore tlie second tenor sang in the wings, Caruso also hidden in tho wings, took tho same song one night, nnd the house silt unmoved. Geraldine [i'arrnr, unannounced, snug a song in tho opening number of a bouofit -perform aiiee, and tlie appluliiHo was perfunctory. Later in tho evening, singing in her turn on tlie lull, she received her usual spon taneous applause. All of which goes to provo that a little scenery, a little sot ting of the stage, is relislind by the best of us. O The young wife mot her husband on the doorstep. Before lie had taken off bis coat, she began: "John, the cook 1ms luftc—" Said the man, reproach fully: "Is it right to moot mo with such news when 1 return home Into from ilio office, tired and hungry!’’ But, John, I merely want to sty tho cook has left— ’ ’ "A'os, 1 know you merely want to say.-. And I merely want to say it’s a shame that tlfin household' is always in a state of upset. Other women' manage to keep tlielr servants. Why can't you!” 'John, 1 will speak. The cook knew you would lie late, so she left a eolil chicken and custard pudding on the dining-room table for you.” 'Well, Ethel, why in the world didn't you say that at, first.” PROTECTION OF WOMEN REFUSED Legislature Fails to Pass Necessary Law. The protection of the young womer of our State against venereal Infec tion that was sought In a bill by Mr Moore, of Appling County, In the re cent legislature was defeated because of a lack of a constitutional majority The vote on this bill was 85 for and 65 against; It requires 100 votes to pass such a law. The bill was called up at a very Inopportune time, on Mon day morning before a number of mem bers of the House arrived. Splendid work in favor of the enactment of this measure into a law was done by the various organizations of the good wom en of Atlanta and a few outside of the efty. The bill will be again offered at the next session, and, in the interim, It Is hoped that all who are interested In the matter will do some effect© work. Ponder over the following figures 18 per cent of all deaths under one yeat of age occur during the first month •jf life, and that at least 43 per cent of them are due to natal of prenatal causes. It Is believed that congenital syphilis or no syphilis, our respon slbillty to the unborn and the new born child should be encouraged ami tho responsibility taken up.
