THE RELATIVE DANGER fROM CERTAIN DISEASES AS SHOWN
BY GEORGIA S MORTALITY RECORDS. 1919.
The above graph is the pointer the first year’s operation of the law given.
Tuberculosis is the chief menace to health in Georgia. Relatively, in fact,
is 2.4 times as dangerous as the next feared, Infantile Diarrhoea, 9 times
jnore dangerous than Typhoid, and lias to its credit 9.9 the deaths from
malaria.
The control of Tuberculosis depends upon a three-fold activity: the/pre
vention of infection, which occurs chiefly in childhood, the prevention of
tuberculous disease, which is due to lowered resistance, sometimes many years
after the infection, and home or sanatorium treatment of the, actual cases.
The first two are by far l lie more important activities. They represent he
Dunce of prevention that is worth the pound of cure. *
To demonstrate the possibility of cure the slate has established the Sana
torium at Alio and appropriates $:'»(>.000 yearly for that purpose. Tile insti
tution is entirely inadequate, having slightly fewer than one Inquired beds for
whites and none for negroes. For reasonable accommodation for the sick of
both races an appropriation of $500,000 is needed.
Heretofore the State has made no appropriation to the larger educational
preventive program; the work has been carriqd on chiefly by private
Jow that we know the need and see that Tuberculosis is 40% of
the public health problem, pleas for legislative support of the preventive pro
gram should not go unheeded.

THE REHABILATION
OF UNFORTUNATES
One of the greatest needs of our
stato is a home for unfortunate women
and girls; a home where they can
he treated until cured of venereal dis
ease and where the work of rehabili
tation can he carried on. These un
fortunate human beings should be re
moved from society and kept there
until they are well and reformed; until
they are taught a profitable trade and
are in position to take care of them
selves. They should not he released
until they have accumulated sufficient
funds to start in life or are restored
to their families. Where they are per
manently feeble-minded they should
be sent to the home for such Individ
uals.
Men and women who have been in
fected with Syphilis should after mur-
riage see that the prospective mother
receives treatment, as by so doing
healthy babies may lie born.
GREAT NEED FOR
PRACTICAL NURSES
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“SALARY.'
DMITTEDLY
essury
A .
part of. everyone's diet,
salt, was formerly much more
of a luxury than it is at pres
ent. Deposits of it were com
paratively scarce and the com
modity was distinctly high-
priced. It was lor this reason
that solarium or “salt money”
wus iucluded as part of a
Homan soldier’s pay—much as.
in the Sixteenth century, “piu
money” was given to wives for
the purchase of pins, then made
by hand and quite expensive.
From his allowance of “salt
money" the word “salary,” as
applied to payment for services
rendered, was gradually evolved,
and it is to the same source
that we owe the common collo
quial expression that u person
“Js not worth his salt.” Owing
to the fact that salt Is now ob
tainable for a few cents a
pound, this phrase Is under
stood to mean that a person is
practically worthless. "But* a
few centuries ago. it was un
derstood to mean that, while
not much above the uveruge, the
person referred to was worth
at least something.

There is a need throughout our
country for practical nurses, young
women.who are willing to go a great
service to the people lor a moderate
charge.
Trained nurses are scarce and hard
to obtain, and even if they could be
gotten the price they receive is pro
hibitive to a great many people.
High school girls could be taught
In three months or less time all that
would ho necessary for the vast
majority of the work in rural com
munities. The country needs a nurse
who can count pulse, take tempera
ture and respiration, knows something
about asepsis and antisepsis, and be
able to give hypodermics, enemas and
douches. Then plenty of good horse
sense and tiie ability to take orders
and obey them and act when neces
sary in an emergency.
Every community should have
three or four such young women in it.
Such a • nurse- would not be popular
with the hospitals and trained nurses,
hut how much real comfort she could
be and honesLto-goodness service she
could do!

LIFE OUR RICHEST POSSESSION
“Life is our i
session. The gr
is disease. It
ceivnble how ar
best material pos-
itcst enemy to life
therefore, incon
intelligent person
with ordinary common sense could
antagonize, even with negative indlf-
ference, auy movement that has for
its object the protection oi human
life."—Editorial Quitman Free Press.
The State Board of Health is the
central organization in our state for
the conservation of our people. The
greatest trouble has been its inability
to perform its greatest good because
it has never been given the necessar;
funds.
Wo invite those., who have neve
investigated to do so; it will bo
revelation to them.
The State Tuberculosis Sanatorium
is equipped to care for a limited
number of early cuqes, a large
institution is necessary in or
der to take care of advanced
cases and some provision must be
made for the care of the negro tuber
culosis. At present nothing is being
dono for the care of negroes by the
State of Georgia. The-present Statf
Sanatorium cun accommodute only 94
whitij patients / and no negroes. ’
There is urgent need for an appro
priation of $500,000 for the construe
tion of a modern, properly equipped
hospital for the cure of whites, then
tho present plant could be used for the
treatment of negroes. This would
mean thut 300 whites and 100 ne
groes could be placed under treatment
at one time—even this would he only
partly adequate.
Other States have appropriated
larger sums for tholr Tuberculosi;
hospitals than we are asking for
Mississippi has receritly appropriated
$1,260,000 for this purpose. Louisiana
has hut lately • appropriated $380.OOt
for negroes alone; Texas. $1,250,OOt
for a Sanatorium, for early case,
alone; Virginia has throe State San
atoriums, two for whites and one foi
negroes. North Carolina has a San
atorium, much larger than Georgia.”
The State of Georgia appropriated
ror 1920-1921, $50,000 per year foil
maintenance, a mere bagatelle as j
compared to other States. The State!
Legislature did a most noble thing ir J
making such large appropriations last;
year for Education. Now if we car j
convince them that health should be;
considered as important as education j
we cen get our necessary large hos j
pital.
Tuberculosis is a tremendous cause
of physical disability and an important
reason why so many children.must he
kept from school, either directly be
cause they themselves have the dis
ease or because of the poverty result j
ing from Tuberculosis iu the family, i
It Is among the young that Ttibercu j
losis is most prevalent—Georgia must
not neglect the physical health. lllit j
eracy is had enough, hut illiteracy
plus bad health is a combination wel
nigh insuperable. Georgia must hurt
her peoples’ health and education pro
gress iu parallels.
Almost all cases need treatment foi
a longer ; pwlod than is now possible
at the Sanatorium. A larger hospita’
will make it possible to care for pa
tieuts tor a longer period of time will-
much better results. Every true Geor
gian who has the welfare of the State
and people at heart should take at
active part in advocating the passage
of the appropriation for this pur
pose, by appealing to their Repre
sentatives and showing them the ue
cessity for such an Institution.

IS IT WORTH WHILE?
The State Board of Health througt
the Division of Venereal Disease Con
trol has distributed $28,6S4.15 wortt
of Arsphenamine for the cure o|
syphilis the past year. This is the
remedy popularly known as 606. II
is estimated that from three to five
dosos of this remedy, if taken early
in the disease, will make the patient

disease to another. This if conbiuuec
long enough will do a vast kiuount ol
good so far as the spread of the dis
