Where $300,000 Goes
% Harvesting Wild Oat Crop
The penal Institutions or our State
will run a Very high rate of infection
in the venereal diseases. The State
Board of Health has the opinion that
at least one-fifth of the prisoners have
syphilis. The very fact that they have
this disease may account for their in
fraction of the law, and it surely does
account for their inability to perform a
a day’s work.
Putting the Academy for the Blind
with its blind from birth, the Insane
Asylum and the penal institutions to
gether, venereal diseases in these in
stitutions are costing the taxpayers
of our state over $300,000 per year,
ypt we hear of various methods of tax
raising schemes being discussed to in
crease revenue. We hear of reduc
tion of operations for many and varied
laudable causes, and what is beln^
done to reduce this particular enor
mous expenditure? What methods of
law enforcement do you know of, how
many landlords and taxicab operators
hfive had their property confiscated be
cause it is or has been improperly
used? Why not cut off the expense
of the taxpayer before it begins?
Those who are infected should be
treated at least until they are non-in
fectlous, but why not remove the cause
Os the infection? Why not invoke the
good laws on our statute books, es
pecialy the Acts of 1917-18?
The grand juries, the solicitors gen
eral and the judges should have the
aid and assistance of all good citizens
and clean up the state. We need our
laws enforced to prevent infection. We
need ample funds to treat those in
fected and the continuation of the free
Wassermann test for diagnosis.
WHAT GEORGIA DOCTORS THINK
The recent annual meeting of the
Georgia State Medical Association
went on record favoring our State
Board of Health and endorsing it and
its work. This Board being one of
such importance and its work so close
ly identified with the people and oper
ation so necessary for the general wel
fare of the State as a whole, we aro
reproducing Che resolutions from the
Minutes of the Association tor the In
formation of our readers:
Georgia Medical Association. Annual
Meeting, Rome, Ga., May, 1921. de-«
sires to express its appreciation to Dr.
T. F. Abercrombie, Commission of
Health and Secretary of the State
Board of Health, to the Board of
Health and to all the directors of the,
different departments of the State)
Board of Health for their effective and.'
most efficient work during the pres
ent administration of the Commission
er of Health. Secondly, the Medical
Association of Georgia desires to ex
press its approval of the workings of
the Ellis County Health Law. This is
illustrated by the tremendous im
provement in counties since the Ellis
law has been put into effect.
Second. The Medical Association of
Georgia wishes to call attention of the
State Board of Health, the Governor
and the State Legislature to the ef
fect that less than one per cent of
the State appropriation of the State
Legislature is for the protection of the
people’s health and that the people’s
health with limitations is purchai
able.
Lastly. The Medical Association df
Georgia desires to call attention of
the Governor and the Legislature, the
State Board of Health, to the fact
that Georgia appropriates less per cap
ita for health and to the State Board
of Health than Alabama, Virginia.
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Florida. Georgia appropriates only
$3.01% per capita, Alabama 6.03, Vir
ginia 6.07, North Carolina 7.09. South
Caroline 9.02 and Florida 18.02% per
capita for the protection of the people’s
health.

Fifty-six thousand six hundred and
thirty - eight visits were made by
charity patients to the seven
venereal disease' clinics in Georgia
within the past twelve months. How
many do you suppose were made te
the 3,400 physicians of the State?
The clinics also administered 15,159
dcses of 606 for syphilis. Don’t you
think the venereal diseases are some
problem? There is nothing to com
pare with It so far as infectious and
contagious diseases are concerned.
If allowed to continue it means the
cutting off of the race, and those who
remain will ba crazy.
Veneta! disease is mostly due to un
cleanliness and abuse of Nature’s laws.
Immorality breeds venereal disease
and undermines the mental and bodily
stucture.
Tetanus Antitoxin during the War
saved thousands from lockjaw and
death. The Tetanus germ, found in
ground dirt and animal environs,
gains entry through lacerated wounds
and burns.

i GEORGIAS RECORDS RECOGNIZED
i The Deaths For Georgia Reach Neces
sary Percentage.
A telegram from Hon. W. M. Stew
art, Director Federal Census, announ
ces that Georgia has been admitted
to the registration area for deaths.
This is based on the five weeks’ exam
ination by the special agents of the
Census Bureau.
The law was passed in 1914. No
appropriation for the maintenance of
the State Bureau was made until 1919.
In January of that year, with the ex
ception of certain large cities, not a
blank was in the hands of the regis
trars or those who needed them, so in
reality Georgia was admitted two and
a half years after the work began.
Some of the counties made a very
poor showing, other counties lifted the
average up to ihe standard.
The State Bureau of Vital S'atistiics
received over 72,000 birth records for
1921, and before long an examination
of the birth records will be made, so
let us make every effort to secure the
complete record of every birth and
death during the present year. It is
UP to the Solicitor General and Grand
Juries to attend to those who did not
obey the latv last year. When such
records are complete Georgia will
stand with the progressive states in
the matter of birth registration as
well as death. Each citizen should
give aid and encouragement to the
local registrar.
SLEEP REQUIREMENTS OF
CHILDREN.
No child nutrition worker, says the
U. S. Public Health Service, can hope
to get satisfactory results without in
sisting on enough sleep for her
charges. Besides damaging the ner
vous system, late hours cause “sleep
hunger’’ and make children nervous
and. fidgety. The Service commends
the following precepts just issued by
the London County Council: School
children aged four years need twelve
hours sleep a day; aged five to seven,
11 to 12 hours; eight to eleven, 10 to
11 hours; and tivelve to fourteen, 9 to
10 hours. Children grow mainly while
sleeping or resting. Do you want
yours to grow up stunted? Tired
children learn badly and often drift
to the bottom of the class. Do you
want yours to grow up stupid? When
children go to bed late their sleep is
often disturbed by dreams and they
do not get complete rest. Do you
want yours to sleep badly and become
nervous? Sufficient sleep draws a
child onward and upward in school
j and in home life; insufficient sleep
| drags it backward and downward;
i which way do you want your child to
i go? Tiresome children are often only
I tired children; test the truth of this.
That a neighbor’s child is sent to bed
late is not a good reason for sending
your child to bed late; two wrongs
do not make a right. Goin^ to bed
I late is a bad habit, which may be dif
ficult to cure; persevere till you suc
ceed in curing it.
we should now put forth every er
fort to get into the registration area
for birth's. See that your baby is re
corded in the records kept at the State
Capitol. Birth registration is very im
portant many times. Do not neglect
your child’s right.
The State Board of Health is pre
pared to furnish you with Toxin-Anti
। toxin for immunizing children against
Diphtheria. Have your family phy
sician write the State Board about it.
