Sanitaiy Cade o’ the Bibis.
Much has been said and written
upon the subject of the Ten Command
ments. Indeed for the most part all
civil and criminal laws throughout
Christendom are based upon these
laws, which were handed to the world
by Moses and engraved on the tables
of stone.
While these laws are fundamental,
and their observance essential to the
integrity of a nation, yet there is an
other or eleventh commandment which
might be nominated as the •'Sanitary
Code” of Moses. This is found in
verses 13, 14 and 15 in the 23rd
chapter of Deuteronomy.
The observance of this law was
scarcely of less importance to the
health welfare, and even the lives of
those who had followed Moses acros
the Red Sea and into the wilderness,
than was any one of those found in
the moral and religious code.
God did for these unfortunate chil
dren of his, that which they could
not do for themselves. He caused the
rock to give forth pure, clear, spark
ling water to satisfy their thirst and
to cool and cleanse their hot, dusty
feet. Quail, a very choice and nu
tritious meat, in large numbers came
into the camps in the evening, and
bread was rained from heaven in the
morning. In this manner a heli less
host of about two million was pro
vided with food and water.
However, sickness, afflictions and
even epidemics of disease were certain
to make their appearance unless every
sanitary precaution were taken. This
was a condition over which th."” peo
ple had control, and therefore the mi
raculous powers of God in preventing
or curing the serious maladies that are
certain to follow in the path of un
sanitary living are unnecessary.
As it was with these dwellers in
the Wilderness of Sin. located between
FTim and Sinai, so it is with all
those who live between the north an .
south poles today.
There is a long list of dise- -s which
strict sanitary measures will prevent
altogether, or reduce to a minimum.
Among the diseases that head the list
are to be found: Tuberculosis. M.’-
laria. Influenza, Typhoid Fever, Hook
worm Disease, Cholera. Dysentery. Yel
low Fever, Dengue, Plague. Scarlet
Fever, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough
and Measles.
The civilized world is just beginning
to undertake the observance of the
Mosaic Sanitary Code. Even yet
some of those who stand before the
congregation and proclaim, expo i?
and interpret the laws of God are them
selves guilty of violating the ■-
of the Sanitary Code, as well as the
Sixth Commandment, (Thou bias
Not Kill,) at leant in a negative way.
Many of these divines, regard ess cf
the length of the casket w.neu con
tains the lifeless body of one who h..s
recently departed this life, die ,
to say. “For as much as it , -a* a
pleased Almighty God. in His wisdmn.
to take out of this worM our u.’.ov
”
It is by no means prudent to attrib
ute to the will nor power of God the
loss of a human life which was s.o
rificed upon the altar of preventable
diseases.
If certain of the maladies to w: , :
man falls a victim are preventable,
then when death claims one of us as
a result of such diseases, it is not at
the behest of a loving Heavenly lat ti
er; but it is clearly the result of i>:w
rance or wilful negligence of some one
or more of the children of men.
If none of these conditions are pre
ventable millions of dollars are wasted
in an effort to combat them, the n
u -es of our Vital Statisticians are
ta'se science is a farce and General
Co.rzas and Moses were imposters.
Our State is not in the regis'ration
area far births; it should b•. the peo
ple should see that it is. We must pet
a certain percentage of the aver:'.'?
births before this can bo done. You
can help; see that every birth is re
ported to the local registrar. Lets
put Georgia on the map. ?
DOES IT PAY? I
A Very Sensible Question To Ask. t
i It might be well enough if we,
I should pause occasionally and ask,
“Does it pay?” Yes, it does pay from ;
' many angles, from every angle. “Does j
' it pay?” usually carries with it the ;
: natural supposition that you are talk- j
i ing about money—just money. Fru- ;
' gal people, people of foresight, people j
, who have small means or more liberal ;
I should conserve their incomes, and ;
often ask and investigate thoroughly j
“Does it pay?” If it does not, stop, i
find out the trouble and remedy it.
The question, “does it pay?” has i
often been asked about the control i
measures instituted by the Georgia ■
State Board of Health in the veneral i
disease work. The question as to dol- ’
jars and cents could not be definitely ।
answered because it requires time to ■
tell; it requires the collecting of statis
tics and the comparison of actual fig
ures. This time has come at least in
one of the State’s institutions and
touching only one organ of the body
and only one disease, Brain Syphilis.
The physicians at our Insane Asylum
do not guess, they know. The latest
figures from that institution show a
decrese of naw cases admitted last
year of 4 1-2 per cent as compared with
the year before, due as they state to
the early and proper treatment of the
cases in the hands of the general prac
titioner. Brain Syohilis runs from 20
. to 30 per cent of all cases throughout
the country—say 25 per cent of all
those admitted. Georgia appropriates
one million dollars for the mainte
nance of her Insane Asylum, therefore,
$250,000 lor Brain Syphilis. Four and
a half per cant of two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars is $10,250.00;
that was saved to the taxpayers last
year, or just $250.00 more than the ;
entire appropriation made by the legis- |
lature lor this department. Does it
pay?
In about five years we can almost
eliminate this disease of Brain Syp
hilis. There is no excuse for its exis
tence; it is possible to eradicate it;
we im : eradicate it. Will it pay?
In five to eight years you will have
cut your blindness in babies at least
I 50 per cent. It is possible for the re
duction to be 100 per cent; i would
be if ail mothers were attended by a
physician who is capable, honest and
careful. The nthe 58 blind children
at your Academy for the Blind at
Macon would not need as the insti
tution does today an appropriation of
S $20,000 per year to take care of them.
I it requires in wears to complete the
course, or $290,000. Does it actually
pay? There is no excuse under heav
en for gonorrheal sore eyes; the poor
innocent suffers*Jor others’ sms. Me
can and we must eradicate this di
sease; it is possible; it must be done.
The law requires that the physician
or midwife put the dtons in the baby’s
eyes when it is born; it is a chair
i gang offense if tins is not done. If
| nitrate of silver, ore per cent solution.
S is applied the baby will not be blind.
IDo it nay?
i Does it pay to confine and treat
I inter'ed urosthutes? Does the closing
s a u ; k. id:..: cic -d Red Light Districts
f nay? Is it possible by such meme-.;
ito control veneral diseases? Does it?
i Answer us that? YES; Columbus,
i Ga.. under he present city adminis
> nation, with co-operation of all de
j part meats, has proven beyond ques
| lion ilma it pays. Actual figures of
‘ Camp Benning will show you that
• before this co-operation was given
; th"' had an incidence of veneral di-
J :-l. e of 300 per thousand men. This
5 Las dropped to only 27 per thousand,
a Does it pay? God alqne knows how
much It rays. We have teen consid
ering only’ money; what is money?
Trash, as ccr.ir tred to babies who
■ an see and men and women with rex
sun and no* ■ razed with brain syphilis.
’ Trash, as compared to pure moral
I lives and happy homes. The taxpay-
I ers of Georgia never made a finer,
sounder, better investment than in the
• outrol of venereal diseases.
The program for the control should
he well rounded: it must have the
etuncr.ts of education, repression and
tt'u’r: : ■ v i balanced and well exe
c del wi ’ all who are interested co
operating ar 1 co-ordinating their

i im ROADSI
MEANBETTER
I MARKETS 1
Georgians arc beginning to rnalizs 1
that one of the surest ways to bring a I
return of prosperity to this state is to I
establish the system of good roads laid |
out by the State Highway Department, |
\ which will assure them better market* J
ing facilities for their diversified crops. ’
So long as bad roads make the near- ?
est market a day’s journey away, our
farmers will be slaves to tie one crop
system. With good roads, good mar
kets will be brought within a few hours
of every fanner and will enable him to
produce and market crops that will
bring him money all the year round,
and free him from the credit system
which impoverishes him. t
Georgia can only hope to quit paying *
tribute to the north and west when she
wakes up, as those sections have done,
to the value of good roads and good
schools to the rural community. Mil- '
lions of dollars go out of this state -i
each year to purchase food stuffs that I
can be grown right here in super-abun* J
dance, but our farmers lack the incen- I
tive for producing these crops because I
marketing coaditicns in the past have |
been so poor. Good roads will change J
all this and keep at home the money 1
we are paying out to enrich the west- J
ern producer of hay, grain, meat prod* J
ucts and cairned goods. ,
If the farmer could realize what good j
roads mean to his welfare, he would '
■ enthusiastically support the proposed ’
bond issue for good roads, for by this
means he will have his highways built ’
for him by the automobile owners of ,
the country witbeut having to pay out
one cent in additional taxes. The bond
plan simply takes the income from ths
automobile license fees and gasoline '
tax and converts it into a fund to re- *
tire the bonds, thus making it do in
ten years what otherwise it would take
thirty to accomplish.
Thinking citizens all over the state
are turning to the bond issue as the
means for helping the farmers who
have been stricken by the boll weevil
pest back to prosperity, and they are
supporting the measure with enthu
siasm.
Practically every civic organization
in the state has endorsed the good
roads bond issue. The Farm Bureav
Federation president, Hon. J. W. Mor
ton, of Athens, is enthusiastically for
it, as are the majority of the Chamber*
of Commerce in the state. The inter
esting thing about all this enthusiasm
for the bonds, however, is the fact that
the people who will have to pay f or
the roads under the plan, the automo
bile owners, are the ones most heartily
supporting it. They regard it as a
measure of economy. They say the !e»-
sened wear and tear on their cars and
the saving in gasoline consumption will
amply compensate them. The farmer
is the man who will benefit most from
the good roads and they will cost him
nothing, for only such an amount of
bonds will be issued as can be retir rd
by the automobile license fees and the
gasoline tax. More than this amouat
is prohibited in the constitutional
••fcendment.
