Scores of requests to the'fair offices
from prospective exhibitors concern

cational value than ever before, be
lieves Mr. Mills.
Enthusiastic beyond expression
about the outlook. He saye, "Fairs of
today nre fast becoming matters of
great importance to all. No longer
are they considered of local or state
Importance, but they are rapidly be
ing recognized as national schools.
"The Southeastern Fair has been
recognized as an educational force by
the railroads. They are co-operating
to bring the people of the southeast
to Atlanta for a ten day practical
schooling, worth many dollars to the
spectator.
"County, State and the national gov
ernments have recognized It and, all
will he represented with worthy ex
hibits of farm products of ' modern
agriculture.’’

MILLEDGEVILLE, GA.
U. S. Paid No Interest
on Debt 37 Years Due
Portland, Ore. — After using
$200 of Felix It. Mitchell's mon
ey for nearly 40 years, the Unit
ed States government lias re
turned it to hint—without Inter-
rat.
Wliile a resident of Umatilla
county, ore., 3!) years ago,
Mitchell decided it was Impos
sible to live longer on ills home
stead, so he commuted.
Government homestead land
was then bringing $1.25 an acre,
ordinarily, but land office offi
cials concluded Mitchell’s land
was la a grant which called for
the payment of $2.50 an acre, in
the event of commuting. Al
though convinced the land office
was in error, Mitchell paid the
double price. Two years later it
developed he had been right,
und he filed a claim for half of
Ills $400 payment.
4 check drawn by the govern
ment in favor of Mitchell for
$200 was tlie result—37 yeurs
after the claim was filed..

tunity, those of us who remain at
home most of the time, to see Just

Mr. Mills states that everyone li
beginning to recognize the vplue ,in
the Southeastern Fair as community
gathering, ft affords an opportunity
for the farmer to see the manufactur
er's product In actual operation before
he buys, and it gives the farmer an
opportunity to present his product ol

reasonable price above the cost of pro

"Some time ago, 1 was very

Roble, of Pikeville, Ky. "I
suffered a great deal, and knew
I must do something for this
condition. I Suffered mostly

| The Typhoid Season,
Enlist and Fight It
j The State bureau of Vital Statistics
( advises you to look for Typhoid Fever
I during the noxt three months, for
during that period of the year more
, than 70 per cent of all deaths from
that disease occur. There were 62
cases of Typhoid Fever reported dur
ing the entire month of May, but dur-
| Ing the fffst half of June there were
; 93, and the disease is on the increase
I at this time pf the year, as it is
every year. In 1919 there were 477
I Typhoid Fever deaths in a total of
| 21.606; in 1920 in a total of 35.676
there were 649 as compared with 798
typhoid deaths in a total of 32,977 in
11921, an increase over the year before
i of 249 deaths, ancL. unless some effort
is made this year will shnw a greater
number of deaths than did 1921.
To prevent Typhoid Fever you must
understand how it is caught. Two
classes of people scatter this disease
—the one who is sick with it and the
other who carries the poison in the
bowel after recovery from the disease.
In order for a peYson to catch Typhoid
Fever he must swallow some of the
excreta from such persons. To es
cape Uils disease a person should eat
food ind drink water which is not
mixed with such discharges. The fly
carries thU discharge from the sick
room or the privy to the kitchen or
dining room and places it on the food,
or the excreta may have washed from
, the privy into the well. There are
other ways tfat the discharge from
i the sick may get into the mouths of
I well persons.
I Every person should be vaccinatod'
, against this disease excepting certain
l circumstances which your family phy-
I sician will explain to you. The entire
house should be screene" against flies.
A city or. town’s wa’.er supply should
j be tested at regular periods to see
• that It is pure. If you get water from
! a well and have not a sanitary privy
I or your well is not properly curbed.
] you should boil all water before drink
ing. A plan for curbing your well or
fpr building a sanitary privy will be
furnished upon request to the State
ioard ‘of Health, Atlanta, Ga.
If one of your family should take
Typhoid Fever, ask y.our physician
what you should do to protect the rest
of your family, and follow ills direc
tions to the letter. If you wish liters-
■ ture on this disease your State Eoard
of Health will furnish it.
Authorities say that of those who
have Typhoid Fever, one person out
of every ten dies. If this is true,
then there were 7,980 cases of Ty
phoid Fever in Georgia last year.
These people were sick more than
23,940 days, and at only $1.00 per day
there was a loss of more Ilian $23,940.
not including any medical attention or
drugs or the time, ibst by those who
waited on them. Nor do these figures
take into account the sorrow in the
800 familie's'. whic$ these deaths
caused. Typhoid Fever is a big ques
tion; -It should have^ your most care-
protect your family tjgainst this dis-
ful thouglft and you - 3hould not only
ease, hut also your neighborhood
Let us begin NOW to take the neces
sary steps to escape this disease.
Many are ignorant and know no bet
ter than to eat filthy food and drink
polluted water, and you, dear reader,
cannot do a better thing for your ac
quaintances than to tell them how to
escape Typhoid Fever.

GEORGIA’S DEATH RATE;
j • LET’S MAKE IT LOWER
j Georgia has no greater .advertise
ment than her low death rate, for In
1921, of whlclj, ^ear the mortality of
certain months was audited by the
Federal Census Bureau recently, her
death rate was 10 per 1,000’ popula
tion, while in 1920 South Carolina
showed 14, Virginia and Florida 13
nnd North Carolina 12, according to
the latest printed report of the Fed-
; eral Census.
| Georgia is now in the registration
I area for deaths. Her death rates will
bo published by the Census Bureau.
Her general, as well as her Tuber-
1 culosis, Cancer and other specific
rates, are so low when compared with
i the neighboring states that the rates
will be questioned.
| Georgia has no greater pull for peo
ple or investments than her good
health as shown by her low mortality
rates, but these rates must be based
1 on records, the completeness of which
cannot be contradicted.
| There is a law In Georgia prohibit-
i ing the burial of nny dead person
until a death certificate has been
filed and a buriul permit secured. The
enforcement of this statute will pro
test Georgia’s records and will estab
lish these rates beyond question.
