FEEBLE-MINDED SCHOOL OPEN
Ecsutiful Graccwood Has Fifty Chil
dren Under Treatment.
It. appeared for a while as if the
School for Feeble-minded at Grace-
wood would not open, but by the in
terest of a number of our legislative
members an appropriation of $25,000
per year was finally given it. and it
has been possible to open with about
half of its capacity. There is room
at the Institution for 100 without ad
ditional building, but it will be impos
sible to take more than -10. as these
lire all that can he handled with the
appropriation made.
There are in our State several thou
sand who should receive the special
training that can only be had in an in
stitution of this kind, and it had been
sincerely hoped that at least 100 or
>150 would be provided for. Many ap
plicants have already been turned
■away. The State Board of Health
would like very much to take them
tail if it only had the monev.

With the idea that the war is over
ami the man power of the country is
not a national need in fighting the
Hun any longer, the Congress which
died March Itli did not provide unj
funds for the continuation of the In
terdepartniental Social Hygiene
Board, which organization has hud
charge of the fight aguinst the na
tional menace of venereal disease.
The Congress thinks this is now a
local problem and that each state
should take up the fight just as they
do any other health problem, sinullpox,
typhoid fever, etc.
The funds for Georgia will be con
tinued until its allotment is exhausted,
which will be some time this fall.
The State cannot afford to let the
work cease, as it has accomplished
too much good. It could not possibly
do all that the national government
has done, but it should at least con
t.inue its educational work, the Was-
sermann Department and the distribu
tion of the treatment for syphilis and
the prevention of blindneso.
The coming legislature should m
provision for this much of the work at
least. The entire stale has partici
paled in the good coining from this
work, it has been most unusual find
most popular with the physicians and
the people in general; it should he
continued by all means.

“Health Is fundamental to all sue

the last analysis, depends upon the
bodily vigor of its citizens. This is

It Is not always economy to buy
cheap things. A certain man in South
Georgia thought ho was practicing
economy in buying a cheap shaving
brush. He used it one time and, in a
few days, a little pimple appeared on
his neck. He thought nothing of it
until it began to swell and inflame
the tissues all over his neck. Iu a
few days he died, and his doctor was
intelligent enough to suspect anthrax-
pustule. He found out about the shav
ing brush and sent it to the State
Board of Health Laboratory in Atlanta
and anthrax germs were found buried
in the glued ends of the bristles.
Shaving brushes are made from
horse half and pig bristles imported
to this country from China, Japan and
Russia. Unless imported horse hair
is carefully disinfected, it is apt to
contain germs of anthrax, a disease (
very common in these countries. Our
Government now enforces very rigid
regulations in regard to the disinfec
tion of imported hair. Brushes made
since these regulations went into ef
fect are apt to be safe enough. But
we must still be op our guard against
any brush which does not have the
name and trade mark of some reliable
brush manufacturer.
A suspicious brush may he;rendered
safe by soaking it for four hours in a
hot i0 per cent solution of formalin,
such as can he purchased from any
druggist. ‘ .

many do you suppose were made to

Various relief projects of the Junior
American Red Cross in European <
countries resulted in helping 287,000
destitute children during the last fis
cal year, according to the annual re
port of the American Red Cross for
that period. The growth of the activi
ties of the Juniors abroad Is mani
fested by a comparison which shows
this figure is 200,000 larger than that
of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the
Junior American Red Cross, was
drawn upon for $420,557 for these proj
ects. Receipts for the National Chil
dren's Fund during the last fiscal year
totalled $155,317.
