OP Me.n& Infirmary 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.
