160 People Die Dally.
Indicating the need of additional ef
fort looking to the elimination of tu
berculosis in the South, reliable fig
ures gathered by tho public health
agencies of the South and the Nation
■how that there are 150 deaths daily
from tuberculosis in tho 18 states
comprising the territory of the South
ern Baptist Convention, making the
annual death toll of the white plague
in this section of the country alone
It has been estimated that the to
tal economic loss from the ravages
of tuberculosis in the South Is $175,-
000,000 a year, and In projecting their
warfare again-it the plugue the Bap
tists hope to greatly rorluco this loss,
as well as to save the llfo and promote
the health and general efficiency of
the wholo people.

In addition to providing treatment

traded tuberculosis, the sanatorium is
carrying on an educational work that
seeks to inform tho public at large
through the printed page, as to the
danger of tuberculosis, how It can be
avoided and how, once it is con
tracted, its progress can be arrested
I through proper sanitary measures at
home. Other phases of the educa
tional program include the training
of workers inside the sanatorium and
occupational and vocational work for
patients. The extension department
is widely disseminating literature on
how to combat tuberculosis. An en
dowment fund that is being created
for the institution will make possible
a much larger circulation of literature
and will also enable the institution to
take care of Indigent patients.
The sanatorium is at present seek
ing to devise special plans whereby
It can serve the negroes of the South
In combating tuberculosis. It is felt
that the negroes’ inability to help
themselves In the /natter entitles them
to this oonsideartion and that this
assistance should bo given, further
more. as a means of self-protection on
tne part of the whites.
O^her Phases of Baptist Work.
In addition to the Tuberculosis
Sanatorium, Southern Baptists have a
string of seventeen regular hospitals
in operation and seven others under
course of construction. This hospital
property is valued at approximately
$7,000,000 and those institutions last
year treated 46,000 patients many of
them being charity oases. Southern Bap
tists also operate 19 orphanages in
which approximately 5,000 orphan boys
and girls are cared for, educated and
trained for Christian citizenship.
E?ito of Rallies
A dog was killed last Monday
morning by Marshall Hopkins
which lie thought was suffering
with rabies. He sent the head
to the State Board of Health Lab
oratory, in Atlanta, for an exami
nation, and following is a report
that was received:
E. L. Hopkins, Marshal,
Douglasville, Ga. /■
Dog head shows positive evidence of
rabies.
Laboratory State Board of Health
This dog came in contact with
several dogs in this town, and
most of the people have killed
their dogs that were bitten.
Those who haven’t should be
forced too, if they don’t do it,
then the city authorities should
do it for them.
The council would do a great
favor by passing an ordinance
that all dogs should be muzzled.
Then, if a dog was seen on the
streets without a muzzle, it will
be the duty of the police or mar
shall, which ever the case might
he to—KILL THAT DOG.
Think of the danger of your
self and your children and DO
SOMETHING.
